37 - Brass-Back Tenon Saw!

When I’m cutting joinery by hand, control matters more than speed, and that’s where a brass-back tenon saw shines. The brass spine adds weight and stiffness so the blade tracks straight without flexing, and the fine teeth leave smoother cuts with less cleanup. Under $50, it’s a confidence booster for precision work.

Pros

+Brass spine adds stiffness for straighter tracking cuts
+Fine teeth produce smooth cuts with less cleanup
+Great for tenons, small joints, and precision trimming

Cons

-Hand sawing is slower than power cutting
-Best performance depends on good technique and a sharp blade
