    Thank you to both David H and Alan R Even though I have been piercing
    metal for years and love sawing by hand I learned a couple of points
    that I did not know. 	 Tilt the blade forward at an angle. The lower
    the angle the straighter the cut. 	 The distance between the teeth
    should always be less than one thickness of the metal you are sawing. 

    Both of these tips help even though I have little to no trouble with
    my sawing. Now I can better explain to my students why to do these
    things. 

    Perspective can sometimes be everything. Blessings on all in this
    year of the Monkey. This is supposed to be a good year to make money.
    May all of you come out ahead.
