A good two man saw is almost as fast as a chainsaw. Pick up the saw set at a fleamarket. They are often on $1 tables because people don't know what they are. Make a filing vise out of a couple of boards and some carriage bolts with wing nuts. I have colleted and used 2 man saws since the 1960s. Besure to wax the blades. A freshly waxed blade resists a little. After a couple of cuts, it glides through the kurf easily. Find a 4' saw that can be used by one man. When you're not in a hurry, it is a peaceful way to cut wood on a good saw buck. I find much better prices on tools at Tractor Swap Meets. Good Luck, Rick
@@richardross7219 thanks for the information. I'll definitely be on the lookout And get me a file vise going. All information is gladly accepted. I got me a warranted superior brand 4'. I'll also get me some wax for them
@@redmanhomestead1966 Those were good blades. I just use old candles for waxing. There are plenty of old carpentry books with good instructions on setting and filing saw teeth. I have 3 different sizes of saw tooth setting tools. They go by the tooth count. Good Luck, Rick

@@richardross7219 sound good I appreciate the advice! 👍
Don't buy the crosscut reconditioning tools from the Crosscut Saw Company. Poor quality, and I'm being kind with that comment.
@@PATCsawyer 🤣🤣🤣🤣 sounds good and thanks for the information. I appreciate it.
