How to properly hold a tenon saw or dovetail saw?
| Although the spike saw and dovetail saw have slight differences, they are held in the same way. | ||
| Grasp the handle of the saw with your dominant hand and extend your index finger along the handle so that it points to the end of the blade. Keep your finger extended as you work, this will help you guide the saw. | |
 | You can place your other hand on the wood to stabilize it (as long as you keep it away from the blade), or you can place it on the saw shaft to help guide the saw while cutting. You should try to position yourself directly behind the material being cut. | |
