Sharpening amongst other things

[John Brown]

Just wondering Jacob, do you use a guide for saw sharpening?
I have a small block of wood with an angled hole in it that goes on the end of the file. I line this up parallel to the saw blade. This helps me stay consistent on my fleam.

Parallel in which plane, or both?

Thanks for posting this, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole video, highly skilled hand work, almost a forgotten way of life, I wonder if someone will continue this/his business on after he retires,

Both. In line with the saw and parallel to the floor.

My hubby uses this, is this what you mean? https://jakobssawrevival.co.uk/product/saw-filing-guide/ (not the same Jacob as above, just to avoid confusion!)
