What's a pull saw and what is their use?

If only. If (biggest word in the English language) we move someplace else, that space requirement will be in the equation. When I was looking to retire, we went to Oregon and looked at a few places. One of them had a metal building about 40 by 40 by 20 feet high. I was thinking about how all the shit my wife is hoarding would fit over on one side and that I could build a partition to hide it while I slowly disposed of it in a fire to keep the shop warm.

It's like a push saw but different.

It's a saw designed to cut on the pull stroke as opposed to the push stroke. They cut more evenly and cleanly with a smaller kerf relative to tooth size than push saws. They can be used for any kind of woodwork, but the smaller ones that I have are generally used for joinery and other fine work.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
