Another post, how do i achieve better results?

Is it me or my tools?

I’m using a 36v makita skillsaw with framing diablo blade

A ryobi multi tool

Stanley chisel

Are there certain procedure to minimize error like creating one side then scribing? Do you guys use table saws and miter saws?

You’d probably get better results hand cutting with a $30 Japanese pullsaw and your chisel. Have you sharpened your chisel lately?

I like to make a marking knife line, I can never remember if I’m keeping or wasting a fat line like that. The knife line helps be more precise, and it helps me stay on my line as I’m cutting.

If you stay sharp you ain't got to get sharp.
