Update: my saw practice is going well. I can saw to the line on both sides of the board. Now I have a new issue. I have a curve in my saw blade. See the photos. It still cuts straight, but I assume this is not good. Is there a way I can correct this or do I need to send it to a saw expert?
I have been practicing with my dovetail saw. I am getting ready to try my first dovetail joint. I was watching a video about body position and I was standing to square. I learned to get my body out of the way and it made a big difference.
I am planing this walnut and have the top very flat, but it has these marks all over it. I sharpened my plane and I am taking very small shavings. Can someone help me with this issue. Is it planing technique or an issue with the wood. I don’t know what to try next. Any help is greatly appreciated.
