[quote quote=7682]I started rippping the larch board this afternoon and found that I need a stronger rip saw for tasks like that.[/quote]
Don’t forget an ax sometimes. If I only need a bit ripped off a board, I just grab the ax, and hew it off, Scrub down a pass or 2, then plane to the line. Obviously this is only useful if your offcut is trash, but its fast as hell once you know what your doing.

My thoughts are, you cant learn to play poker without playing. My advice, buy any saw you can afford, and start working it. You’ll learn more from that than any forum post. I got a Diston K-1 its a total pile of a saw in some eyes.Its a backsaw of some sorts. I got it for free, sharpenned it up, and got that sucker sawing. Its not as nice as any other saw thats considered great, BUT, when I actually buy a great saw, I bet Ill know the quality difference. Also, some expensive saw I got off of ebay, and “Old, user” turned out to be a crap stick. Good luck though, and just get something and start getting at it!
