Hello all,
I am starting a tall hall seat for SWMBO. I decided to try my hand at some hand tooling. I am cutting some box joints for the lower rails that form a "molding" on the base of the seat. I have a gents saw and some chisels to clean the joint. However, I noticed that I am not the best on making a straight cut with the saw. Too much dependence on power tools.
Is there any sort of saw guides that help with keep straight during the cuts. I have seen magnetic dovetail guides, but nothing for straight cuts. I was looking through Woodcraft, Hartville tool, and Rockler and could not find anything. Am I just missing the guides if they exist
Thanks,
Mike Keating :)
