Hey Guys,
Every time we post a track saw over on social media, there is always a detractor or two that say they don't need one. It reminds me a little of the debate when impact drivers first started hitting the market. There were hold outs that said they didn't need one and that their drill worked just fine. Then they used
one.
We feel the same way about track saws. Guys hem and haw about them, probably more so than the impacts, but change their tune once they try them. They are easy to set up and easy to get great results. If you're still holding out, I suggest you go try one. It's one of those tools that will change the way work.
Our latest track saw review is below along with HowTo articles on tree planting and building a sliding barn
door.
You would think that planting a tree would be as easy as digging a hole in the ground, flopping it in there, and covering it back up. Well it is pretty simple but we go into the details of the process step by step to give you and your tree the best shot at success.
Sliding barn doors are very popular inside home today. These doors add a great aesthetic impact to any room, and they offer a functional solution where traditional swinging doors might be a problem. I recently built a rustic sliding barn door for our finished basement and wanted write this article to show you how to build a sliding barn door.
Seems like everyone wants a track saw these days. Why wouldn’t you, it allows you to cut and manage sheet goods like a mill shop, minus the panel saw. A track saw is much more than a circular saw with a rip guide, its designed to be a smooth and precise plunge cutting saw. Track saws make long, precise cuts faster and better circular saws. They are lighter, faster to set up and more portable, then a table
saw.
We feel that a track saw is a perfect addition to the carpenter, or woodworker looking to be more precise and accurate in their cutting and finish carpentry activities.
Who makes the best construction levels? In this head to head we’re putting several 48″ construction levels to the test to see who makes the best! One of the most fundamental tools required by all trades in construction is a level. Whether you’re building something plumb and level, or sloped, the only way to verify the slope of any surface is with some type of level. 48 inch construction levels are the most
predominantly used size of level in the construction industry so we reached out to some of the leading brands and asked them to join our head to head comparison.
After this Head to Head was done, Milwaukee released their RedStick levels. We put them through similar tests here.
