 Finishing the stroke. 



Start filing at the tip of the saw, filing the hack of every tooth that is 

 leaning away from you, and the front of every too*:h that is leaning towards 

 you. As the teeth lean alternately to you and from you, this means that 

 you use the file on each alternate tooth, leaving the other tooth to be dealt 

 with afterwards from the other side. Most attention must he given to the 

 filing of the tooth that is leaning away from you : it will be found in a little 

 while that the front of the tooth leaning towards you is at the same time 

 receiving attention, but the thing to watch is the back of each tooth that 

 leans away.
