Using and sharpen the handsaw

Using the handsaw
For someone who first holding handsaw is often not aware of how to hold the saw in the correct position so that the cleavage process or timber cutting went well and easily. Because if we use the right saw in the proper position, will be seen that not only a carpenter who could do it well and fast. The main principle to use a chainsaw hand is that we need to know what kind of saw that in accordance with the direction of the grain.
Wood cutting
The best type of saw is the saw cut with a blade upright. This position is adjusted to the fiber direction. The upright saw blade for cutting stronger fibers and will feel lighter at the time of cutting. Place the work piece on a stable medium, would be better if the side width is limited by the barrier that can not easily move. In line cut to the desired size put your thumb nail tip directly adjacent to the saw.
Always move the saw to the rear to create a flow of a saw. For best results we recommend using the pressure energy to cut the wood fiber. Aim back only to take the starting position.
Splitting Wood
This technique is lighter than wood cut because the main process is to separate the bond wood pores. Saw blade more shape in certain angle. For the stability of cleavage the work piece should be bound by clamp to the desk or workbench. The position of the thumb nail same with the wood cutting process.
Angle saws
Using cut saws are the most ideal at an angle of 45 degrees and the split saw at a position 60 degrees for best results.

Sharpen the handsaw
Some specific techniques are needed to sharpen a saw blade into the saw sharp and good. Sharpen the saw does not just make all ranks saw blade will be more peaked, but we need to look at some details that will be very great influence for the convenience of using a handsaw. As a carpenter while not a professional I think this knowledge can help to resolve the issue at handsaws deemed blunt or necessary sharpened.
Bar straightness saws
The saw blade must be absolutely straight with no bend so that when sawing motion cut lines will be produced right the size and power needed to push or pull the saw is not too large, particularly when the line was cut has a certain depth. Crook saw blade can result lines cut into larger and the results saw do not refined / flat.
Line saw blade
Grinding must consider the outcome of the saw blade position. The entire saw blade tip should lie in a straight line with a minimum tolerance. Also, the basic angle of saw blade should remain in a straight line. Unevenness saw blade row position this is mean not all saw blade work the maximum. Only the most high saw blade work to cut wood. This situation makes the mill more difficult and longer. Also be made more saw quickly dull, especially on the highest saw blade.
Space Motion
If observed closely you notice that all saw blade was bent, having a certain angle of the saw blade. And its structure is always the same proportion. For instance even saw blade will be bent sequences to the left and odd sequence saw blade bent to the right. This angle is not determined randomly. There is a special tool to adjust the saw blade angle called Gripper (at least it was a term I know). Gripper bend saw blade one by one so there is little space for the saw blade during sawing motion. Greater angle produced larger line width of the wood pieces.
Why is this necessary?
If the angle is too small saw blade on a saw blade width will make the saw blade stuck in time sawing motion and because the amount of friction between the saw blades with wooden sides split / cut causing black marks like burns or gloss that can make the finishing process is less satisfactory.
