Hi folks,
I'm new here and want to learn more about using traditional tools rather than rushing out to buy a new powertool for every job I start, or continually badgering friends so I can borrow their powertools!
I'm working on a rocking horse for my daughter and need to make a straight cut through 1 inch of pine, giving it a flat finish so the new section can sit flush against its joining piece. I've tried a jigsaw but as the blade bends I don't get the flat finish. Can anyone suggest the best handsaw or particular method for this job?
Any info would be much appreciated.
Happy Christmas!!:U
