What are you.planning on DIYing this year? Large or small I’d love to hear about it. Is it something you’ve done before or something out of your comfort zone?
I’m planning on building some wheelie bin storagefor the from of the house that’s on a bit of a slope. Never done anything like that before. I’m going to get a wood blade for my angle grinder as I cannot cut straight with a saw to save my life.
I’m sure it’ll end up looking like Homer’s handywork.
Before or after that I’d like to build a small work bench for the garage. But the possibilities are so much to decide on.
Hoping to buy a house and have more projects than I have time for! By the way, angle grinders are absurdly dangerous when used even slightly non-standard. Take a look please. https://youtu.be/o-imZgxAyIE?si=yTvJ1-KddA3duOvL Angle grinder rotation speed is enormous compared to circular saws.
I have trouble cutting straight with saws too. Switching to a Japanese pull saw has helped a ton, and they can be bought online for like $20
I wasn’t thinking of going that off piste with the angle grinder. I was thinking of using a blade like this https://www.screwfix.com/p/bosch-expert-multi-material-multi-wheel-115mm-4-1-2-x-22-23mm/102ky
Mostly as I didn’t want the expense of a circular saw. Although I hadn’t considered the different spin speeds between the two. It might be worth it to just get the saw.
My circular saw is invaluable to make quick, straight cuts. I just set a rafters square on the timber as a fence and cut along it. Or I use a piece of squared mdf as a fence if I’m cutting a longer piece.
I’ve never considered cutting wood with an angle grinder.
