Hello fellow woodworkers

Im making a fence with 4x4 posts. Is it possible to saw them using a handsaw with almost or perfect result?

What kind of handsaw do I need?

Yours Sincerely
Tom

Tom, It can be done with a hand saw. A crosscut saw, if it's sharp,
will work very well. All you need is an accurate square, and
something to mark with - pencil, scribe or whatever works.

Start on one face and mark a line at the proper location. Continue
the line around all 4 sides. If accurate, the line will meet the
first line. Then saw to the line across the top of the board, and
down the side facing you. The two lines you can see will keep the saw
cutting square. As you get about half way down the side facing you,
rotate the post away from you, bringing the third side into view. The
existing kerf will keep the far side of the saw alligned as you cut
down the third side. Then repeat for the 4th side. If a little care
is used, you will get a nice square cut.

And it never hurts to do a practice run on a piece of scrap!

Hope this helps.
