A clean cut depends on a steady hand. Follow these steps for cutting wood safely with a handsaw.
Measure the wood with a tape measure and mark it with a straight edge for cutting. Draw a line along the desired cut - this is your "cutline."
Pull the saw toward you once, pressing down firmly. Pick up the saw, replace it in your original position, and pull toward you a second time.
