Thanks for your interest and sharing your family saw mill history.
The family mill ran for 5 generations in the SW Missouri hardwood region.
Started out as a water wheel powered mill, why back when that was the only
power available,
Early business also included a grist mill operation to grind
What sort of sawmill did your family have?
My father had a small mill and I worked in it as soon as I was big
enough to do so (about 60 years ago). Initially, I set the second dog on
the carriage and then later was the guy who picked the boards off as
they went through the saw (tail sawyer).
>From experience, I agree with Mitch on direction of file motion.
To hand file well, you need to have a good mental picture of the "perfect
cutting edge" . When you have that, your hand/file motion will follow to
achieve that perfect edge.
Leaving a file burr on the cutting edge is not good, if
There's a microscopic bent ridge of metal at the downstream edge of the filing
motion.
I like to have it on the trailing edge, some people like to have it on the
leading edge hoping it'll wear off quickly, some people like you don't care.
But I figure it's important to make every aspect

Hit a tooth with a Sharpie marker so you know when you've finished the chain

2-3 strokes per tooth is plenty if you sharpen after each tank of gas and keep
it out of the dirt.

Yes, we do them by hand too some of the time, but if you use the
grinder periodically, it will even out the teeth. I keep 2 or 3 chains
and swap them out. If you use the grinder to do all of them at one time
it is fairly quick to sharpen them. It is truly amazing how well a sharp
saw can cut
My personal choice is a proper size round file with a handle. Having
developed the skill to sharpen the teeth, for myself, it is much quicker to
dress the teeth and get back to work... no setup or fuss.
