Once you master the use of handsaws, you'll be awed by the simple power of this humble tool. If you can see and follow a line - any line - you can cut the line. There's no need for crazy setups or jigs; just grab the right saw and start cutting - any angle, any shape. Complex joinery becomes no more than a series of lines to cut on your stock. Yet many woodworkers - both beginners and professionals - are intimidated by handsaws. Handsaw Essentials - compiled from more than a decade's worth of blog entries and magazine articles - will change that. Christopher Schwarz and the editors and contributors to Popular Woodworking help you choose the right saw for your budget and project, use it successfully and keep it cutting like new.
