Handsaw

The Handsaw is a RedPower 2 tool which can be used to cut solid blocks into Micro Blocks. These components can then be used to decorate or build certain things. Two or more components can be put back together using a handsaw. The type of component crafted depends on the handsaw position in the crafting table.

Usage
Blocks These can be combined horizontally in any way to make a block of any eighth thickness.

Hollow Blocks
There are hollow versions of slabs, panels, covers,etc. To make them, cut your desired block into cover blocks (or whatever thickness you prefer) and arrange the microblocks in a chest format. To put wires through a hollow block hold down ctrl and f while placing the wire through it. (This seems to work only with redpower wires; unconfirmed). The Hollow Blocks also can have jacketed wires and pneumatic tubes go through their center.

Strips
Two same-sized strips placed horizontally can be glued back together to make the corresponding block.

Corners
Two Corner pieces stacked vertically can be glued back together to make the corresponding Strip.
