    Interesting watch. The circular saw was invented by a woman. Tabitha Babbitt. Invented the circular saw blade in 1813.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

    I do remember seeing videos and photos of the old recip saws, but did not know when, how or who - concerning the circular saw. Thanks.

      Amazing video! I've been a contractor for over 20 years and I just learned this. I'm glad she had a great idea. It's made my job easier over the years.
