By Julie Peri–
A jigsaw is a great tool to use for making intricate cuts and curves. The thin blade and variable speed allow you to pivot and make incredibly tight turns. Jigsaws are also great to use when making notch cuts. To use a jigsaw, start the blade before you connect with the piece of wood you are cutting. This prevents any kickback. Also, slow down if you feel a lot of resistance from the saw. Always use two hands, and wear safety glasses and ear plugs.
