To cut this wood, a line gap was bore through the wood as the frame was quite tough to be removed and i used the tip of the blade of the handsaw as it was quite sharp but after some time the blade of the handsaw broke. The handle sprung out of shape so i could not fit in a new blade and this delayed quite a bit of time as i had to go buy a new one. With the new one, it could fit through the gap however after cutting for a while the same thing happened, the blade broke and the saw frame sprung out of shape and this delayed even more time. I decided not to use this very handsaw again but the machines at the workshop instead.
