Relax, we all do it.

Personally, in a quest to cut dovetails, I've purchased
a saw vise, some files, built a workbench, bought (and tuned)
2 saw Eclipse sets, bought a few old DT saws, installed 2 angle poise
lamps (sharpening small teeth requires good light) done
some practise sharpening on larger saws, made a saw jointing jig,
down loaded saw sharpening instruction, read everything in the Porch
archive on saw sharpening.

Oh, I've made a dovetailed box for a #71 router (*). In pine.
