Hand Saw

woodworking · tools · carpentry · cutting

Teeth Do the Work. Hand saws have a series of sharp points called teeth made from a substance harder than wood, so they can slice right through wooden boards and logs.

Push and Pull. You operate a hand saw by moving it forward and backward in a smooth motion, letting the teeth gradually cut through the wood with each stroke.

Joining Wood Pieces. Carpenters and woodworkers use hand saws to cut wood into specific shapes so the pieces can fit together perfectly to build furniture, houses, and wooden objects.

Simple but Smart. Unlike power saws, hand saws don't need electricity or batteries, making them reliable tools that have been used for centuries.
