Hand sawing is the most important hand tool woodworking skill. You can't build a piece of furniture with just a hand plane. But you can with only a single hand saw. The problem is most projects don't force us to saw continuously for very long and it is that continued work that helps cement good techniques. Here are 5 exercises I have developed working with thousands of students around the world in my online school: The Hand Tool School. Using these to train your sawing skills but also just warm up is a great way to dramatically improve your sawing technique.
