Okay, I realize this is kind of an open-ended question, kind of like when I see pics of people's shops with umpteen routers, each dedicated to a different use and left set up for projects. I've been looking at more hand-tool shop pics and I've noticed that besides dovetail and tenon and carcass and goodness knows what else, a lot of folks seem to have multiple rip and crosscut panel (hopefully I have the right term there) saws in their saw tills. Assuming these aren't just collectors, why would you have multiple rip and crosscut panel saws, rather than one of each? I know some are a few inches longer or shorter, or have slightly different teeth-per-inch... but does that make *that* much difference to justify having more than rip saw? Yes, I be ignant and in need of edumacation, having only ever used a generic 'hand saw' from the local hardware store... please help me out here
