I got better results pulling, and didn't care if I was thought a
neandrethal. It just worked better for me to pull the push plane. I am no
cabinetry man, but the results were approved by all regardless if they
knew the worker or not.

I've sometimes just use plains backwards, on the pull,

I agree about scrapers, they cut, sand paper grinds and leaves junk in the
pours of the wood. All good violin makers finish with scrapers wherever
possible.

Power is not the key for cutting straight and accurately. Having a properly
sharpened tool is the key. Bob is absolutely correct
about these saws. The cuts are smooth and quickly done. I don't own a
Japanese plane; but, have used one. I was very impressed
with the results I achieved.

Hmm, pulling the spirits toward you. And I would have thought it was

Well you know I bet it would be a bit easier to run a plane toward
then away as well. Spirits or no spirits, they have something with
this pull idea.

I think you'll find that good saws have always cut on the pull stroke. Pull is
accurate and power. I had one a long time ago and got a cheap sharpen job and
the guy sharpened it to cut on the push stroke. Talk about a good saw going
south.

I have two "japanese" style hand saws,
one is a "back saw" for I assume doing accurate joinery type cuts and the other
is a double edged rip and cross cut saw.
They are very thin and flexible, and the handles are long wooden ovals that
extend maybe 8 or 10 inches beyond the "pull" end of the saw.

I find the saws that cut on the pull stroke much easier to control
(personally). I can cut much more accurately it seems. By
pulling toward my body, I can keep the saw in the plane of the cut much easier.

I have two Japanese style pull saws. One is a flush trim saw, the sort you
would use for trimming dowels off flush to a surface, the other is a
stiffened back style. The teeth are very small and sharp. It takes a bit of
getting used to, starting the saw on the push stroke. The really nice thi
There are several Japanese saws on the market. All Japanese saws work on
the pull stroke.
It depends on what you need a saw to do.
I have a saw for cutting plugs or thin strips of wood. The kerf is so thin
