Yes sir.
You can do anything with a circular saw.
It might not always be the easy way but you can do it
Okay good tyvm!
I pretty much have access to anything carpentry related. So if you need a little help with cuts, I might be able to show you how to make the cut in pictures. or a video
Sweet!
If I could buy any three carpentry tools to start my own home workshop for basic home repair and construction of simple wood objects like chairs, tables, birdhouses, etc, what would you recommend I purchase? Assume I have half of a garage to work with.
Probably a radial saw or a compound miter saw. A planer and a router table.
I feel like you could do any drilling with a hand held drill.
Chairs and tables would need legs or spindles, if you're turning them yourself you'd need a lathe or buy premade ones.
@Envian or @Jhawk nc might be able to give some good advice here. I believe they have hobby shops.
Ok I had to see what other guys out there recommended, and the router and planer is a must because almost everything is going to start with an even flat surface.
I saw one guy recommend a band saw but I feel like you could use a crosscut or circular saw. Now I'm thinking about it a table saw would be good because you can do some joinery on it, tenons and box joints, even the tails for dovetail joints. You can rip even parallel edges. It'll give you a good straight cut you might not be able to get with a circular saw.
If you're looking at making bedframes and things you should get a Pinterest. You can find a design you like and it will usually have all the measurements @Whitelash
@Whitelash Careful on the circ saw. Maybe check out some videos on operating if you're not familiar. They're simple to use but can fuck you up if the blade gets pinched and kicks out on you. I always hold my trigger arm out and perpendicular and in the direction of my cuts so you can put force behind the saw in case it wants to kick back. Also you can see what you're cutting being to the side of the saw
@RevStench Has some great pics in lessons for using a circ
@RevStench that window job was reeediculous!

Thanks guys. It really means a lot. That guide is a great start into the historic window restoration world. We're working with a couple of other guys to set a standard on historic windows also, so it was nice writing it out.
If anyone wants to see something specific let me know. I have a ton of jobs going, and I can probably pick up some more weekend work to get little walk throughs on new builds and remodeling.
Doing some boring ass stair treads on my rental today
haha get some Conway and you'll have a blast!
This is truly a shit job. Just slap it on and go as quick as I can no jig or anything
I have to have something to take my mind off the boring stuff. Are you putting carpet on them?
Nah just basic treads and risers. They had carpet and the treads were just 2x material. It's a duplex we just got
I did oak in 2 units but these are just gonna be 5/4 pine. Cheap and easy
haha nice. I love the natural/stained wood look. I don't care for painted trim or stairs. But I get why people do it.
Are you changing the flooring?
Nope just adding tile in afew places
Getting there
Damn bro you're having fun.
Looks nice
You get what you pay for, here's why you don't call a handyman.
Bondo is NOT made to fill wood.
They wrapped the window in metal and plywood and it turned into a water trap.
That's awful bro
It's a mess, not sure I can save the brick molding, the sills I can save.
I'll get some pictures of this process, because we'll be installing a new frame. And if you can handle doing a historic window a replacement window will be a walk in the park.
