No dude, in no-way by me......I don’t want to hijack this excellent thread. I'll wait till the disciplinary is over and then I'll post the details (It'll put everyone off working for L/A). lol :laugh1:

honestly i didn't think it was that bad, i think everyone's hammering him a bit hard. obviously when he cut the top out, was dodgy as. i spent two years in oz, and i got steered away from my uk training slightly. maybe it's euc's wood characteristics or something. used to back/hinge/tear cut all the time, thought to myself why did no one show me this awesome simple cut before. face/gob/scarf cut's give better direction and control(very necessary on wood that tears) but break earlier. i only use snap cuts if i have to man handle the piece to avoid something or if i'm working close to my pole strop/lanyard.
