So i'm hand rip sawing some thick stuff. ie: a split off a log. it's 16"x10"x6'. it was split and hewn/adzed to this size with a bit of rough planing.
i'm doing fine up top when sawing, but the bottom will go way off line.
i keep flipping the log over to cut from the other side and i check frequently, but perhaps not frequent enough?
perhaps i should set the teeth better on the part of the saw that's furthest from me.
perhaps i should make my saw into a frame saw? i think i would run into the same problems. what i really need is another guy that's as gung-ho about stuff as me.
thoughts?
if i could get it to go nice and straight i would have this done in a week easy working an hour a day. but the bunny trail sawing is slowing me down.
