Chips N Tips

Win woodworking prizesFor some reason I enjoy hand sawing, especially ripping. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t tiring. When you get tired your technique suffers and a good cut can go back very quickly leading to a lot more work later one with a hand plane. I have come up with a simple tip to pace myself but also add a little more accuracy over a long rip when my technique can break down due to fatigue. I hope you enjoy this tip.

Excellent tips, Shannon.

Maybe consider a nice turned Shaker candlestick base on your new toy to use as a phone stand, though. 🙂

Although, it was kind of cool to imagine, as you sawed, that you were shaking your whole workshop with the voracity of your cutting power.

(What? Like nobody else did that…)

    Or just reshoot the footage completely. Yeah that was a rookie move there and what I get for not setting up the real camera. At least I got some good experience using Warp Stabilizer in Adobe AfterEffects. You should have see the original footage.
