Using circular saw

[LCHIEN]

Honestly, saw on Facebook, someone wants to know how you cut a rectangular piece of wood with a circular saw.



I guess the next question is, Can I use a table saw to make a chair? or do I need to get a chair saw?

We have become a nation of idiots. Thanks Mr. Suckerberg.

We have always been a nation of idiots. They are just easier to spot when you give each of them a megaphone with a global reach.

Should this guy be even within a mile from that saw?

I bet this was the same guy that was angry that he had to buy a square in two parts and when he put them together it was a rectangle.

Quick, get the radio alarm saw!

Unfortunately this sort exist in real life.

A friend of mine a few states away called me some years ago to declare he was ready to lay a wood-floor.
"I have the material, have bought the miter-saw and a jig-saw...".

What about safety, I asked.

"Sure, I have these thick work-gloves from HD, because that saw scares me when it gets close to my fingers"


Gave me a scare, that statement, in how much I over-estimated his understanding of 'safety'.
So I took my time to walk him thru all the right things to do, and not to do; even had him buy some quick clamps to hold the piece while cutting.

Come the day, he called me afterwards, telling me proudly that he had found a better way (I had suggested to stagger the lengths of the planks so the joint lines were not close to each other in adjoining rows).
He had simply measured the length of the room, calculated the lengths of planks needed for one row, and gone ahead and cut the same lengths across the room width. Result was that the joints lined up neatly all over. He said he liked the symmetry of it.

A year later, his wife told us that they contracted somebody to replace the floor, because it had come apart in many places. He "did not want to talk about it".
