How To Make A Long Straight Cut With A Handsaw

[@Chris_M_Romero]

Dude, this video is awesome. No long, unnecessary intro. Short sentences describing the procedure. No narcissistic, snobby, cinematographic edition with self centered narrative. Is perfect. Goes straight to the point. You earned yourself a subscriber.

[@gautambarua8260]

Fully agree with you. Many youtubers don't realize that if they cut out their jabber it would help more.

[@pd9935]

There was an unnecessary intro though

A good jig idea. When I was 8 (52 years ago), I was my fathers' timber sitter. I would help him on building projects at home and he would teach me tips and stuff. Every thing he taught me about working with timber, I still use today. He showed me how to hold the saw with my forefinger aligned with the direction of the saw for accuracy...and to draw 2 lines and cut between them. It all works. I have power tools now but still have the saws he used and I sharpen and set them myself. There is a certain satisfaction I get from using hand tools.

Thank you so much! All I've got is a handsaw and a burning desire to build. A jig is so helpful.

[@b.b.b.1729]

Thank you!, this is the most useful and practical video I've ever watched on how to cut straight. Always had a problem cutting materials, after watching this video it made everything so easy that I was able to create 2 small cabinets just using a handsaw and hammer.

[@automationvesta]

Love this simple jig.

[@gautambarua8260]

Excellent jig. This will help me in cutting plywood straight with a handsaw. Thank you

[@HatakeKakashi245]

Your work and information is quick and clear with out bla bla.. I like that..

[@68HC060]

Very nice video and great idea. This is very useful for both myself and many others. However, I'd like to mention that it's possible to learn to saw straight lines (even at any angle in two directions); Paul Sellers is often using hand saws to saw straight lines. One technique to make 90° cuts, is to use the saw blade as a mirror, so you see the reflection of the board being 'straight' when comparing to the actual board. This requires a little practice, but you'll soon get so experienced that you can do it. Note: If you're going to make a jig like in this video, a MDF board usually have straight edges, which are square (90°) to eachother. You can then cut two sides of the MDF-board first and use those two sides for guiding the saw (this will likely ruin the straightness of the MDF, but you can make the MDF straight by using your new guide).

This is by far the best and the simplest! You saved me from buying a jigsaw with guide, thank you very much!

[@adamadict]

I like your delivery, great ideas that I will definitely use. Thanks

[@koboldx314]

[@maliqazka8161]

Very practical...and yess..less powertools

[@gigastore3806]

Awesome. After searching a lot of videos with no result, i have no idea. finally i found friendly guide to make it for hand saw. It's really helpful and easy following for beginner home user with no much power tools like me. Appreciate

Thank you for watching!

[@branta66]

Thanks for the detailed information,I would have have a question.Can we use standard drilling machines to make holes on the acrylic sheet? If yes,then what is the suitable drill bits for this?

[@sagroldan]

Good work John, it is a Nice video, keep it like that, the way that you explain is amazing, as always you dont forget how to teach to the People how to do it correctly! Best regards. ALEX 🤯

[@Benmeglei1]

To everyone in my condo….me 1 you 0. Thank you for this.

[@robertr2731]

Thats awesome man, thank you!

[@fernandocalifornia]

Nice video, easy and good explanation. Would you have a tip to cut at a non-common angle (lets say 30 degrees) ? (To create a sort of bevel)

[@andreaforde1969]

Use 2 different blocks at each end screw down at 30 degrees at both ends

[@ricsonescalicas9657]

It's a good technique. I'm planning to build something. But is there a way that I can cut a square through the plywood using a saw?

[@--delirious--4136]

fantastic video, instant like and sub!

[@rolandgamores146]

Nice idea, in carpentry like old school, pointing finger on top of saw is effective?

[@mirghulam2764]

Nice

[@stick9648]

Watched my grandpa make 6 to 8 foot cuts with a hand saw , and the reason for the " bim " on the saw , guess I'm the only one to ever witness its use/reason . I've heard a handful of uses for it but nothing even close to 8 foot straight cuts.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel1667]

thanks a bunch! my cutting always veers off course

[@siriyoruz4024]

Wow. Neat but I dont have a working table

[@cosador]

The table I work from in my videos was built from junk, maybe consider what your other options might be.

[@sumitkumar-vy4mx]
