Best with out doubt & most accurate with a clean edge.
A thick edge steel rule. A Stanley knife with a new blade.

Now that is a great idea.......wink, wink!
It certainly is Laurie.
I mentioned it yesterday, but I forgot to mention your mention of the pressure on the blade/saw teeth, which is spot on.
I still have the scars on my thighs where I was clouted by a hand saw, expertly wielded by the bloke who was trying to teach me to be a joiner in '63
Thwack! "Let the bl**dy saw do the work, that's what the bl**dy teeth are for!"
As you rightly point out, gently does it with a blade. Too much pressure and it will wobble off course.

Matter of interest Ron. My father as said was a carpenter & joiner of the old brigade. I used to go with him to house building sites when about 14 during holidays. Did a few jobs airing cuboard slats etc. But at 3:30pm on a Friday with out fail the saw horse came out. Bend the teeth then file the teeth. Wow & lethal a weapon you would not know.It certainly is Laurie.

I CONCEED to your judgement m'lud lolI can see both points for and against buying in strip, but without a lot of work making a H beam would be impossible for many, also thicker sections, round and half round .
I rest my case.
My fellow member of the Bar I thank you.I CONCEED to your judgement m'lud lol

Next Chisels & plane blade. Honed with perfection in mind & they were sharp. Then he would strop the chisels & plane blades on his palm to remove any burrs.
Skirting no mitres he scribed one skirting over the other absolute fit. Could not get a razor blade in the joint on his architrave mitres. Joy to watch him work. The old fellow went a time ago & I miss the old blighter. A good dad.
