Even with perfect measurements it’s impossible to get to that line straight unless the frame is perfectly square. This not only completely solves that issue but also saves a ton of time not having to measure and cut them one by one.
Also the lumber I picked turned out to be 10 cm longer than the deck and I even picked the exact right amount. By the time I was done I only had a basket of <10 cm off-cuts.
I’ve been a professional before. Where it mattered we cut the ends off in place that same way.
What tool to cut them off without damaging surroundings? Just a circular saw?
Circular saw with the blade set such that it just barely will cut all the way through.
Track saw or a circular saw
Love figuring stuff out like this. Wrecking your brain and running into problems everywhere. And then you get to it. The simple, elegant, efficient solution. “Oh, that’s how they do it”
Wrecking
Wracking?
Well to be fair I think I’ve wrecked my brain a few times thinking about things too much.
Good job, man! Thats professional work, genuinely the way its supposed to be done.
It looks great.
Hindsight is MY superpower.
That’s how you do it.
