Re: Wood saws

Hi Mups.

For a general hand saw, you can't go wrong with an IRWIN, available from most of the DIY shops. They are relatively cheap and last quite a long time. Just get one with fine teeth and you will be ok.

It doesn't need to be labelled, Darling. All you have to do is sit on it, and you will soon know whether it is hard or soft wood.
Mind you, check for splinters first.

Ps, can't believe how many sawteeth experts we have on OFF.

It's unlikely you will find hardwood in B&Q or Homebase unless it's for a specific purpose for instance stair parts.

You will find soft wood and treated wood which is used for outdoors. If you buy a length of wood from one of these stores, look down the length of it to see if it is straight or bent. Most wood from these stores are bent and useless but you can find the occasional piece that's ok.

Re: Wood saws

Hi

Enough is enough Mups.

Order a General Purpose saw from Toolstation.

Any order over £10 is delivered free of charge.

I will put it on my account to make it up to £10.
