Looks like you are getting a hang on the pull saw. Looks like a veritable progress to me. Pekka |

Aussie Jim, that was brilliant, I think I'll leave doing that till I've got a bit more time to spare. Pekka, I'm still feeling I need a 7 year apprenticeship to really get the hang of pull saws. |

Pull saw really is a different animal. My father is very good with western tools. Once my 3-4 year old daughter show how to cut 5*5 cm pine no problem. My father tried the same and broke sweat and was having hard not to swear too much. I found out that I really had to think it over. Good but firm grip. Like a golf club or bo or bow. Then align elbow and hand on line with the saw and pull with one continuous movement. Now I don't think of it much. But at the begining it was really hard. Specially to start. Firs pull is most important. A little wrong and then if you try to fix it it goes even more wrong. A little too much wrong practice and the saw gets jinxed. Throw it as far as you can and start over :lol: Pekka, saw is fairly easy but those chisels are work of devil himself. And do I even dare to star about the plane? Shudder. |
