Went with the hand saw over the bandsaw on 40 lbs of bone-in shoulder and I'm glad I did
Last Tuesday I had 40 lbs of bone-in pork shoulder come in and my bandsaw blade was shot, so it was either wait two days on a new blade or break it down by hand. I grabbed my 10 inch breaking saw and went at it, and honestly the cuts came out cleaner than the saw ever gives me. Took about 20 minutes longer per case, but I lost almost no meat to the blade and the joints stayed square for the case display. My wrist was sore by the end of the day though, so I wouldn't do it every week. If you're stuck waiting on parts, the hand saw is not the disaster I thought it was. What do you all keep around for backup when the power equipment is down?
