Text Appearing Before Image: Name of Exercise. Purpose and Description of Exercise. 8. Long-saiuing.(Rip-sawing.) Edge-planing. To saw up a piece of wood lengthwise. This exercise in Sweden is performed witha bow-saw, Fig. 38 (p. 83). In Eng-land the same exercise is done with ahand rip-saw, Fig. 41 (p. 85). It ismore difficult than cross-sawing (Ex.5), because the saw is apt to leave themark and run between the fibres. To plane a piece of wood, the surface ofwhich is narrower than the plane iron. This exercise is considered the easiest exer-cise in planing, for this reason, that anarrow surface of not more than 1 in.or IJ in. wide at the very most iseasier to plane than a surface above2 in, wide. (The width of the planeiron varies from 2 in. to 2|- in. in width.)

Text Appearing After Image: Fig. 91. 131 Tools required. Directions for Work. Broad webbed bow-saw.(Hand rip-saw.) Trying-plane orEnglish jack-plane. For the method of execution with the bow-saw, see PlateII., which shows the wood fixed in the proper positionin the bench-vice, the right position of the body, andthe right handling of the tool. The saw is movedbackwards and forwards in that position. The same position applies to the use of the English hand-saw, and the left hand holds the wood in the same way.The only difference is that the hand-saw has no frame,but simply a handle by which it is gripped. It will be noticed that the bow-saw is held by the lowerpart of the frame near the blade, and that the feet ofthe worker are at right angles and a little way apart. The piece of wood is fastened between the bench pegs, sothat it lies firmly and evenly upon the bench.
