Discouraging
Friday night I attempted some sawing. I did 4 pieces. I ended up breaking 3 of the 4, usually when I was almost finished, of course. This is why I wanted to try a vine pattern–because I feared this is exactly how it would work out with these very thin pieces. I decided I’d screwed up enough for one night, put a fresh blade in my saw and went back in the house. I’ll try again today, but if it still goes badly, I’ll think about getting some extra-fine blades and see if that makes a difference when I’m doing thin pieces.
