The difference is more than just pushing or pulling. It’s been over 20 years since the Western handsaw, a tool that cuts on the push stroke and was the pride of the English-speaking world, was surpassed as the tool most woodworkers reached for when they need a handsaw.

A few tools can go a long way. When you get started in woodworking there are many paths to follow, forks in the road, dead-ends and shortcuts. It’s a journey that our forebears would make with the help of a living, breathing guide: a master, a grandfather, a shop teacher. Sadly, the guides are fewer in number today. And so you are left with people like me to help. Like the making of meat byproducts, it’s not a pretty sight.

There are times when I cannot figure out why a handplane is leaving nasty tracks on my boards. The iron isn’t chipped (as least as far as I can see). And the sole doesn’t have any scars or burrs (that I can feel). Even after I hone and polish the blade, the tracks persist. I could fiddle-fart around with it, or I could hit the “hard reset” button.
