And here are two woodworkers that actually know what they are doing with a maebiki. Each woodworker has his own maebiki, and are sawing in time with each other. This is where the straight edge at the toe is important. The straight edge allows the tooth line of one saw to pass the other.

Also, note that both of them are primarily moving the saws through the cut by rocking their bodies back and forth.
