Seems like every guy who retired to make a little and keep going with a Foley saw filer closed up when he had a shed full of saws nobody picked up.

Reminds me of the man that sharpened our chain saw. He had a shall shed in his back yard. It was full of saws and files. He sat in a chair with a small bench and a vise. His hand were so knarled with arthritis he could barely hold a file, but he could sharpen a chain saw by hand in about 20 minutes andnit always cut straight no matter how bad it had been prior to sharpening. Whenever he died they closed the shed. It sat for years.
