How do you cut shapes with a jigsaw?

In this video for This Old House, Mark explains how to keep your eye on the blade when following a curving line. Changing the angle of attack and pulling the saw toward you can help.

To follow V-shaped cutlines, you’ll need to back the saw out and cut from the other end of the line to meet the first cut.

Learn how to:
• Keep your eyes on the blade while cutting
• Properly complete a cut
• Adjust the angle of attack
• Reposition the saw mid-cut
