[BNM] [OT] Jigsaw

[Tom Dussek (Hotmail)]

A hand saw will definitely give you a better cut. Jigsaw Joy is 
dependent on correct speeds and blades, and that's before you add in the 
motor skills and proprioception needed to keep a straight line. Buy a 
brand new Jack saw (£3.99 at Wicks, for example), get the wood stable, 
put your body in line with the cut, and saw away.
