As someone trained to do structural and pipe welding who currently does framing I have a few tips which may or may not be of use
>ABC. Always be comfortable. If you are not physically in position to do your best work, you won't
>simplify each step of the process as best you can. Set yourself up at thoroughly at each phase, so the actual act of completing each step is the easy part
>never point a blade toward yourself
>do not try to wrestle with a dull blade
>keep your work piece steady. Clamps are your friends
>brace your cuts. Anon mentioned using a metal ruler; I prefer to use a speed square when I can
>when making a cut, especially a long cut, it may be beneficial to angle the piece downward away from your body
>plan the entire thing before you do any thing
>when you do start, have everything arranged, secure it if need be, survey any potential obstacles in your workspace, size up what you intend to do, make your measurements, double check their visibility, do a dry run, assess whether or not it's what you want, double check your measurements, then cut
>after you do something make sure it fits with the other pieces
>if you're standing, place your knees, elbows, and hips against something steady to keep yourself in place. You don't even need to put weight on them, just put them against something that won't move as a place holder to orient your body in space
>also if you're standing, use two hands one tool hand, one supporting hand. Keep your supporting grip very loose. I don't even use my hand for support if possible, I prefer to gently prop one wrist up with the other. It is especially helpful to brace your supporting elbow
>don't flare your elbows, point them downward
I hope I could be of some help to everyone
