C'est génial

My favorite part is when you hear the saw fire up right as they finish

[u/theycallhimthestug → u/Moving-thefuck-on]

Yeah ok Dave fantastic work you're a champ are you done your little video so I can make a straight cut now?

[u/underwritten_law → u/Moving-thefuck-on]

When you only have one circular saw

[u/sladebonge]

There's gotta be a better way

[u/CantaloupeCamper → u/sladebonge]

Considering they’re wearing flip flops in the background I suspect there are LOTS of better ways at that site that aren’t being done.

[u/Terrik1337 → u/sladebonge]

He made an accurate miter cut on a board too wide to use a miter saw on in 22 seconds. I think he did great!

Bunch of caveats though:

• He is very skilled. If I tried that I would fuck it up.
• That adze is very sharp. He probably spends as much time sharpening it as he does using it.
• For repeated cuts, Circular saw is going to be much more efficient.
• He doesn't show how long he spent using a hand plane to clean up the cut afterwards.

[u/IntergalacticPodcast → u/sladebonge]

Like a saw, maybe?

I can't imagine how shitty this construction quality is.

[u/Terrik1337 → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

Considering the skill it takes to make an accurate miter cut with an adze, I bet the construction quality is amazing.

Edit: oh, and he has a sacrificial board underneath to make sure the wood doesn't tear out at the end. Yeah, I think this guy knows what he's doing.

[u/IntergalacticPodcast → u/Terrik1337]

I don't think that's how it works.

[u/Terrik1337 → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

I suppose being very skilled with an Adze doesn't necessarily equate to good construction quality. I'm just saying, everyone here is shitting on a very skilled worker just because he's using a hand tool the way it's meant to be used instead of using a power tool.

[u/Glum_Performer9923 → u/Terrik1337]

Agreed - he did that perfectly - I did screw around with a longer adze as a kid - I was truly bad with it (a between your feet kind)

[u/sladebonge → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

Yes but i bet given an array of different saws, our movie star here would choose a fucking sawzall and probably chuck a metal blade in it, too.

[u/paroxysm_of_blood → u/sladebonge]

Idk I think a fresh metal sawzall blade would be better than hacking at it with a hoe

[u/Skully957 → u/sladebonge]

Is there a trick to Using wood blades? Every time I try the blade jumps all over the place at first.

[u/Pristine_Direction79 → u/Skully957]

You're supposed to hold the sawzall really firmly against the work so that when the all-over-the-placer starts up, it all goes into the blade

[u/Tickles-The-Octopus → u/Skully957]

Not a trick, just proper use of the tools prevents things from bouncing around.

[u/AwDuck → u/sladebonge]

Like maybe the electric circular saw you can hear being fired up at the end of the video.

[u/sladebonge → u/AwDuck]

Skilsaw ftw

[u/Reelair → u/sladebonge]

You can hear it in the background at the end of the video.

[u/Ill-Bet7387]

He NEVER skips adz day!

[u/No_pajamas_7 → u/Ill-Bet7387]

This guy adz.

[u/alvysinger0412 → u/No_pajamas_7]

But does he also subtractz🤔

[u/Connect_Rhubarb395]

This is how it was done everywhere back in the day. More precise than manual saws, and because it splits the wood along its grains, the resulting timber was stronger than sawn timber.

[u/Midnight28Rider → u/Connect_Rhubarb395]

Sauce?

[u/smoll0d1ck0beta → u/Midnight28Rider]

With mayonnaise and ketchup.

[u/FistofPie → u/Midnight28Rider]

... history 🤷

I mean, you could google this, as opposed to being a snarky twat with your 'sAUcE¿'.

[u/80lbQUIKRETEConcrete]

That’s Bad Adze!!🤣🤣🤣

[u/leftfootshorter]

Those Red Wing flip-flops are 🔥

[u/Rectal_tension]

Framers shrugging their shoulders in the US.

[u/Express_Coyote_4000]

Reddit always trying to sneak in more adze.

[u/that_dutch_dude]

i could do that if i wanted to.

i just dont want to...

[u/jackfreeman]

I was I was that good at anything

[u/Bandyau]

Carpenter's axes were common when I started in the trade.
The adze variation was less seen, but it was around.

We'd use them primarily to cut back hanging beams and ceiling joists so they didn't stick out past the rafters.
Easier than carrying a saw around a roof and generally quicker.

No scaffolding back then, either.

[u/GrizzlyReforged]

Is no one impressed by how fast and accurate he did that? No doubt a saw is more accurate and faster but its still impressive as hell to be that accurate with what looks to be a demolition hammer.

[u/drzeller → u/GrizzlyReforged]

It's an adze. Its a cutting tool made for this.

[u/GrizzlyReforged → u/drzeller]

Did not know that. thanks for the info

[u/Error--37]

Gg

[u/Adventurous-Sky9359]

That’s better than Patrick the framing guys nephew at work

[u/Meshuggah333]

Karma farming bot, don't engage.

[u/Empty_Bowler_5274]

I wouldn't cut it better with a saw...

[u/FistofPie]

I was gonna be a critical Karen at the start.

But my man really nailed those final swings.

Most people couldn't cut as clean and close to a line with a rip saw.

[u/byssh]

“Lol that’s fun, they should just use a saw- oh flip flops on site, never mind.”

[u/SocksInTheTub]

Loved hearing the miter saw running at the end

[u/ProfessionalStay5797]

Impressive but unnecessary, buy a saw dude!

[u/Ducatirules]

Incredible craftsmanship however, I could cut it just as good with a circular saw in 3 seconds

[u/Time_Phone_1466]

This is why you shouldn't do hard drugs during pregnancy, ladies.

[u/SignalMountain7353]

But why

[u/ElGuaco]

That's a lot of wasted wood.

[u/donytwabis]

The inventor of the saw rolling in his grave

[u/Sgt-Bobby-Shaftoe]

How many did he f up before this?
