    they say don't be scared of em, but that's about the only way to do it with power cutting tools(or any cutting tool for that matter), or should I say "especially" cutting tools. No LALALAs at the saw plz, gotta watch em ever second, or they Willlll get ya! (and they're not particular who they "get" either ; )
    BTW, what exactly is a "rip saw?"

    Aha! ( I knew that ; ) Not sure why I was thinking power saw there but yep, a hand saw can cut ya just about as fast.

    yeah, see that backbone on it, that keeps it rigid to cut with the grain, to prevent it drifting with the grain, and keep it going in a straight line. That's unnecessary with a cross cut saw

    BTW is that gold trim? better hide that sucker!

    Yeah, my rule is always know where your hands are. Still do stupid stuff though. My bad this week was holding my material closer than a nail length from the end of my nailer. Brad hit another nail, bounced away and through the end of my finger. Luckily there were no little kids around to hear me.

    Don't use a tool you are afraid of, you will get hurt. Be respectful of the tools you use. don't be cocky, but don't be afraid.
