What happens here

Position the marked piece of wood securely on a sawhorse or workbench. Grasp the handsaw firmly and align the blade with the marked line. Start the cut with a few light, gentle strokes to create a kerf (groove). Once the saw bites into the wood, apply steady, even pressure with full strokes, utilizing the entire length of the saw blade. Maintain a consistent rhythm and angle until the cut is complete.

Goal: Cut the piece of wood along the marked line.
