How to Restore and Sharpen a Cross Cut Saw|Pioneer Life|Homesteading|18'th Century Skills

Peter discusses the history of the cross cut saw while restoring it. He burnishes the blade of the antique 19'th century saw. Then he gives a tutorial on how to sharpen it. He uses three simple tools, a jointer, a depth gauge and a bastard file. The 18'th century homestead is hit by a winter storm which turns the forest into a winter wonderland but puts a heavy snow burden on the roof of the cabin. Peter must climb onto the roof and shovel off the snow.
