I usually make a mess cross-cutting so I will definitely try your method. Thanks for a very clear and useful video.

Hope you find this useful

Even for just cutting a single piece from a board, I think this is a great idea. I'm still really new to handsaw cutting so I feel like this would help with tracking.

Yes, this definitely can help with cutting a single piece and help keep the saw on track. My next video will be on how to achieve clean shoulder lines for joinery. The technique i use there will also help with keeping the saw on track for joinery and cutting a single piece.

I'm so bad at this that I clamp a piece of wood for my sawblade to reference 90 degrees to make the cut. Thank you for another interesting, and skilled learning video, young man.

Thanks so much for the super thanks

Nice tip! I'll definitely give it a go. I need a similar tutorial for sawing the shoulder lines of a tenon, because that's where I'm really struggling right now.

I hope this technique can help you out. I will look into create a video for clean shoulder lines, might even be this week i release it (not sure yet)

My best saw is a tenoning saw, will definitely try this technique . Thanks!

Thanks for watching

I think Paul Sellers possibly coined (or at least popularised) the term 'knife wall' but I know that the technique was in use long before KZread videos existed, way back when we used ordinary utility knives (Stanley knives) or chisel corners to slice a marking line (we called it 'scoring' back in the day). The method does improve accuracy and finish because it leaves a line to plane to. In fact, for many years, I thought the technique might be lost until it became popular again across many KZread channels.

I think you're correct that Paul Sellers coined the term 'knife wall' or he was the first i heard call it that. I first heard it called scoring. I'm glad that these older arts and techniques can be preserved and shared on Social media so everyone can learn and enjoy using them. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

A very slight chamfer on the back edge will prevent splintering on the shooting board. Cheers

Yes, that is very true. Thanks for the suggestion

This is a great idea... I have no idea why I haven't thought about using a marking knife on both sides of the cut, especially since I already mark two pencil lines, but only ever bothered marking one side with a knife. I feel a bit like a fool, TBH, haha!

Everyone does things slightly differently and being able to share our processes can make us all better woodworkers

I think I am the worst hand saw user on the planet! I get so frustrated with it sometimes that end up going to the power tools.😆 I am self taught and I think I have developed poor habits/techniques that have not been corrected. Anyway, great video, keep up the good work. All the best.

Thanks. I used to be quite bad at hand sawing too but lots of practise and techniques like this i have improved, no one is perfect, don't give up.

I sit on my left hand for a few minutes and then cut my timber. It feels like a stranger is using my saw. At least they'll* cut straighter now. * They being me

I guess that's one way of doing it

Well if making a few knife lines which takes seconds is difficult for you don't do it. Or watch my video on how to wrap knife lines around a board.
