The very first time anyone has so clearly explained a reliable method. Thank you

Never considered simply removing the thumb but keeping the forefinger for left of the line cuts ( for right handed folks). I did know about the thumb and forefinger pinch control however. I missed out on half of the tips until now!

Short and precise….With using the right saw and some exercise time invested can be done! Many thanks to Rob for explaining things very clear!

It also helps for straighter cuts if you put your index finger on top of the blade and not around the handle like the rest of your fingers.

Whats the purpose of cutting on both sides of a line? Precision practice or is this dove tailing?

I’m sure I’ve heard you say this countless times before, but how much downward pressure do you put on the saw?

@chm1701 Жыл бұрын

As he mentions ‘with a light grip on the saw’; so essentially, letting the saw to the work without much downward pressure. The saw naturally goes down when pushed forwards, so to speak.

I don't know why ppl want to use saws..y not use router?

Well, sounds like you’ve never tried. It can be faster, quieter and just as accurate. It seems to also have a meditative/zen like appeal, to do your woodworking without any power tools. Perhaps you should consider learning/trying to cut them by hand sometime. You might enjoy it.
