Didn't take me long to make my own version, my blade had hit a screw once and ever since it wasn't any good so I took this chance to try and fix it:

And what a difference, this is a tuffsaws blade and still I don't think it has ever cut this good even when new. Here's some resawing I did before and after sharpening:

I'd say it took me 10 minutes to sharpen my 175" or 4445mm 3TPI blade.
 
Good job. =D> I'm sure there are quite a few on here that couldn't be bothered to sharpen their blades but I think it's a good idea if you have the time. Being able to rejoin broken blades is another useful skill if you have a blowtorch and some brazing rod.
