He walked back up to the front of the room, where he placed a piece of wood into the mitre box. “Rest your non dominant hand atop the mitre box to keep it in place and then place the saw into the groove of the mitre box.” He paused for a moment to demonstrate to the class what he was doing. “Now to saw the wood, it is a push and pull action with your hand.”

Again he demonstrated to the class on what to do, after a minute he had managed to cut the piece of wood in half. “Okay off you go.”

"Come on Professor let me do it free handed." Simon smiled at the Professor. "This sort of thing is just so easy." Simon had been sawing for years, it was his dad and his hobby it give them something to do to relax, he had loads of other things to do but they were duty and this was just a nice relaxing hobby." Simon looked at the Professor wondering what he would say.
