Is that the last cut ov the year?
@Brown sed we shuddunt cut it too short over winter or it will get cold and could die.

Interestingly, a lot of horticultural stuff gets attributed to me that I can't recall saying. Grass is a lot harder to kill than that. You could go over it with a rotavator in the autumn and it'll be looking green again by next spring.

I've found a battery one very handy. If you're doing jobs like hedge trimming, brushwood clearing or fencing where you don't need the chainsaw running all the time they're ideal.

Need to cut some kitchen cabinet boards today but always get splintering on edges,
I do put tape on both sides before measuring and cutting but can never get a nice clean cut
I'm using a very fine hand saw

If it is a plywood then cutting the ply with a utility knife on either side of the workpiece can often prevent splintering.

I gots the titan corded chain saw. Ran it for three hours Saturday chopping up pallets. It has some kind of slipper clutch so the chain stops as soon as you takes off the power. Dunno if that's a feature elsewhere but is good.

I try to organise my sawing so the teeth go inwards on the side you're going to see, and break out on the side that's facing away. So if there's any splintering or bits of laminate come off, it's less noticeable.
The alternative is to make furniture out of old floor joists and reclaimed scaffolding boards. Any splintering merely adds to the rustic appeal.

It's for the camper van, making a cabinet for the gas bottle with cooker on top, it has to match the other cabinets and worktop
And it splinters both sides

Ah, that laminated chipboard is very difficult to cut neatly at home. I just try and arrange the construction so that the cut edges are not on display, or at least so that where a cut edge is anywhere anyone's going to see it, it's one of the the factory edges.

So you might be wanting to keep thigs a bit lighter than my usual railway sleeper furniture then.

Brown · Oct 4, 2022

I wonder how they trim that stuff in the factory? It must be some sort of guillotine.

Ha, not too bothered about weight, I'm doing the seats in plywood and only three 60x50 cabinets including fridge leaving plenty of room
