You give them a hand saw because power tools are far easier to inflict serious injuries with. But if you're teaching a kid who's old enough, there's no reason to start on a hand saw if you have the power tools available.

You don't give a noob a table saw because he'll never understand why a hand saw is useful. He'll never appreciate that more often than not, the hand saw will easier and quicker.

But hey, what do I know. Im the kind of guy who gets to play with TMA and seriously considers purchasing hydrazine for work. What do I know?
