Anyone have any great methods for making wedges? Mine turned out just okay

Some other pics, this was after cleaning up a little with the chisel too. I was aiming for about 2-2.5 degrees. Would be nice to have something better right off the saw (or other method).

Tried restoring an antique saw (more pics in body)
  • After researching the medallion on the handle I found out it's a 1940s Disston D8 26" 10TPI crosscut saw

    I tried to follow the process from this video https://youtu.be/cN8yMAXp54s for the most part. Haven't done any sharpening on it yet. Still need the tools.

  • Shaping 3 stool legs made a lot of shavings
  • I drilled a few practice holes with a forstner bit and a bevel gauge and honestly even the first holes I drilled were pretty dead on and I'm no whiz with the drill. Worst cast scenario you're out $5 for the 2x4

  • Shaping 3 stool legs made a lot of shavings
  • Worked awesome out of the box, then even better after sharpening it. I made a pretty amateur mistake of leaving it on a piece of wood I had just planed. I oiled it before I left for the night, but when I came back in the morning I had the teeny tiniest spots of rust.

  • How to find wood for green woodworking?

    I'm trying to find some wood to use, but am not sure what to look for. I'm mainly interested in building simple stools. I live in south Alabama and the nearest lumber yard is 3 hours away.
