Toe Boards Nov 18, 2012

Started cutting out the toe-boards

Started out the bottom straight section with my cut-off wheel then switched to my air body saw.  The saw was working good until it shook itself apart – what do you expect from a Harbor Freight tool?  I re-read the reviews and stopped when they commented that it shook itself apart.  So now things are on hold until next weekend when I decide between a replacement saw from Northern Tool or Lowes.  I am leaning towards Northern Tool as it has good reviews and is a little cheaper than Lowes.

What is left of the Harbor Freight junk:

Now for the moment of truth to see if my measurements were acceptable.  I took the piece I cut out and it fits well within the piece I will be patching it with.  So once I get it all cut out, I can trim my replacement piece to match what was cut out.  You will notice that the inner piece is raised some which provides me with even more wiggle room!

I won’t be able to do anymore work on this until next weekend!  Check back then!
