Its a shame we cant understand the voice-over because that appeared to be a quality video.
Although I didn't like the idea of starting the bore cut at the hinge and working back, especially if you're a less experienced operator. If the tip of the bar is even slightly out, there's a increased risk of cutting through hinge without even realising.
Also, before you start cutting away a buttress, be sure that the middle isn't rotten or you could be cutting away the only remaining 'sound' holding wood. A mallet/hammer can give you a pretty good indication of this.
For all I know these points are mentioned in the video, but for those of us who can't understand German and especially for those who are just starting out in the job, bore-cuts are by no means full proof, increase the risk of kick-back and can unecessarily over-complicate matters.
Definately one to practice and master, but you need to know your actually gaining something to justify the application.
Still, the video was most enjoyable, any more where that came from? |
