Just wondering if anyone can recommend a band saw blade sharpening service..or is it not worth it? If not, where do people recommend buying band saw blades from? I have a Record bandsaw. Thanks

Oh, and also,they are designed for non heated roof space, so I figured they'd be fine for a shed. They are Velux Velta. Came from Poland.

Hi, because they were a reasonable price on eBay, they are narrow,43x75cm. Cost was £109.

Anyone installed a velux skylight on a shed with felt roof? Any pitfalls? We are about to do this !
