Jigsaw tools allow flexibility in cutting wood and thin metal. Learn about how to use a jigsaw tool and how it got its unique name. A jigsaw is a power tool with a thin metal blade that reciprocates. It allows you to make small, tight and twisty cuts in wood and thin metal. FUN FACT: Jigsaws get their name from the jigsaw puzzle. However, a fretsaw was originally used to cut these intricate pieces before jigsaws were invented. #mrhandyman #homeimprovementprofessionals | Mr. Handyman

I recently started making these Rob Cosman wood hinge boxes and I *highly* recommend trying if you're looking for a new project. They are so satisfying to build and try to make perfect, and they require hand tool skills (though a power router and drill are required).
