That 3rd cut went much smoother than the way I execute it😳

Don't forget to give the blade credit. Those Diablo blades are absolutely, Top notch!

From the start, Ryan was very helpful and is continuing to be helpful about his kzfaq.infoUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans . Also, they have answered all the questions I have asked & I got outstanding support from his My Shed Plans full package.

Man I have to give you props for that horizontal cut at the end. I would be bouncing all over or snapping the blade half way through.

I thought those where just for stealing catalytic converters..... Crazy!!!

That plunge cut was expert level

Harbor Freight blades have left the chat.

Many years ago when reciprocating saws were still a new tool on the jobsite, floor plan changes came in to a new construction we were working on that required removing an interior wall. I overheard the site boss explaining to another worker how to pull the nails securing the wall and to remove the wall intact. I had a new sawsall in my hands, so I just bent down snipped the nails along the bottom, then up the sides and kicked the wall so it moved an inch showing it was now loose. The boss had a big grin on his face, and said, "that's why we hired him!" 8-)

I don't think I've ever seen such a clean plunge cut with a Sawzall. Very nice

Yes we all know how these work but we got to give him some love on the plunge cut

Is that what this thing is really made for. We have been butchering deer with these things for many many years and they work terrific .

It's those blades man! I went and bought some Diablo blades and I won't buy nothing else. Only thing I will use in every saw I own.

Am I the only one who thinks finding straight 2x4s at the local hardware store is like finding a unicorn 🦄?

Too easy, next time try doing it upside down, drunk, while the wife and kids are screaming, "ARE YOU DONE YET?!" over and over.

That's it goddammit I'm calling bullshit. I've used these saws literally thousands of times and that shit is cut on the bottom side. 1- you can see when the blade just falls through on the plunge cut. 2- that saw will throw your ass all over the place if you really try to cut a beam like that while holding the guard off the material like that. Sorry to be the bearer or bad news, but guy is mostly following a kerf that's hidden on the bottom side.

Gloves are smart. I was a little careless and I mixed up my personal rule on "no gloves or loose clothing around rotating equipment" and applied that rule to my Sawzall. My exhaust pipe pinched the blade and it yanked the saw around and the mechanism took a little nibble at my finger. Didn't quite need stitches, but it was kind of a mess. After 4 weeks its pretty well healed up, but still a little tender. I'll be wearing gloves next time. timestamp 0:00

That plunge cut was masterful and clean.

No way! All this time I thought those were just for carving turkeys.

2 things… 1: why did I try to blow the sawdust away and 2 pretty crazy this guy was even attempting such a feat. I mean really! Who would’ve guessed you could actually cut 3 straight lines in wood. Definitely keeping this in the memory bank

I've never seen such perfect cuts with a sawzall... amazing.

Recip Saw with the right blade is just a big, angry jigsaw. LOL!

The only people I've seen do that clean of a plunge cut are my dad and grandpa. And they've been at it for 30 and 50 years.

We call this a plunge cut, and he just discovered it, good on ya!

If you've never done a plunge cut with a Sawzall you've never been a contractor

Sick plunge cut! Nailed it

Who else automatically instantly thought of blowing away dust to stay on cut line. Mental almost tried to blow on my phone. 😂😂😂. I think I’ve been building too long now 🙃

That plunge cut was extremely satisfying

If there is a zombie apocalypse you want a reciprocating saw and a multipack of Diablo blades. Trust me, I was in Nam.

The plunge cut that good was because of that new heavy carbide wide " diablo" saw blades , the old lennox blades , you couldn't do no where as good

That was a pretty smooth plunge cut, i must say. I'd try that and completely bend my blade in half

I feel like most people have instinctually tried a plunge cut with about every saw safe to do so before even knowing it was a legitimate cutting technique and then realized you haven't figured out something sneaky 🤣

It’s not necessarily what you can do but what an experienced craftsman can do with a sharp blade.

Does everyone fail to realize that he notched out an LVL which is a beam for support

Ah yes the ancient art of using a reciprocating saw for exactly what it was built for

It’s not the saw. It’s the man and his knowledge. Knowing the best cutting blade ( Diablo pruning 5tpi blade). He also has a fantastic feel for the strokes of the tool. The control of his plunge cut is spectacular .. clean and square. This is a master of his trade. He has at least 10,000 hours working the tools. I recognize skill in this man

Dude nice plunge cut. You make it look easy. Gotta love LVLS. GREAT WORK

Dang bro you won’t believe what I can do with my car. I can literally drive on the fucking road

That's actually what any construction worker worth his pay can do

Title should be "Look what this dude can do (but you probably can't) with a reciprocating saw"

I want to know what kind of blade that was. That plunge cut was 🔥🔥🔥

Alot of people dont realise how difficult that actually is! Good job bro

You win, ok? My blade would have looked like a candy cane with the third cut! 😆

Jigsaw- Am I a joke to you..?

Its very hard to cut straight with a sawzaw, impressive!

I was doing this when I was 12 with a jigsaw. I'm 36 now, my father taught me many things when I was young, he was only 44 when the cancer had him. When I was 14 or so, my father took me on a small field practicing to reverse and move forward and getting to know the controls of the car, this went on after school for a week or so, after he was happy that I could control the vehicle and follow his instructions safely he took me on a public road, albeit it was a quiet road with a long stretch and a roundabout. Only a few tourists would pass so no danger was really present, ( didn't pass third gear) we got stopped by the police as I was driving up the hill the blue lights came on. they took him to the police car and took the keys out of the ignition , whilst I sat in the driving seat unaware of what was happening, police officer came back to the car and handed me the keys to continue driving, whilst they kept an eye on us from behind on the drive back home which must have been a mile up the road in second gear. When your young you forget about these small things and when I remembered about this event in my life it dawned on my that my father must have told the officer that he was terminal,( I didn't know this myself at the time I didn't know he was terminal) and so the kind officer allowed me to have my first driving lesson from his father . I never got to thank the officer that did that, I contacted North Wales police via email to thank the kind hearted man for that gesture but never got a reply or even anything to say they acknowledged my letter.. Because it's not something I remembered about or thought about really untill I had children myself, and I realise how important it is to pass on knowledge of any kind to your loved ones because life is short. Technology these days is great and you can watch these great little tips like this at a click of a button, but you will never forget what your father or mother passed on to you. 👍

Um, ya, we knew this. That’s why we have them.

He made that third cut look super easy.

Wow that last cut you did with finesse, that is knowing your tool very well and executing how well you can use it with ease,mad props my dude

I used to do demo work for a remodeling company. The reciprocating saw was my Swiss Army knife. I used it for everything!

As a fellow saws all user I'm going to have to say that saw was semi new and that saw blade must be on a new level because I do stuff like that all the time with my default saw and it never comes out that clean lol!! Good job!

Wow, you can use a recipe saw like a recip saw was intended... Great video 😂

Do you know how many blades I’ve bent doing that. Let me rephrase that. Trying to do that. Ok. Eventually doing that

Steady hands there. Much respect.

That special tooth at the tip on those diablo blades really makes plunging into the material easy

I have a friend who had his sawzall for something one evening. I said, “don’t be half ass, get the skill saw.” He said nah, I’ll get it with this. I got a little agitated and was like whatever. He made the cut straight as hell and fairly clean.

Why did i try to blow away the shavings like i was the one cutting 😭

First time I've ever seen a reciprocating saw cut wood!

This is so much more difficult than he makes it look. 😶 Props for great cutting.

I call myself a sawzall Surgeon looks like this guy is also worthy of the title

I've been saying for years there needs to be a Sawzall Olympics.

Milwaukee gloves, Milwaukee Sawzall, Diablo blade, surgeon with the Sawzall. That's how I roll! Keep the cuts true and the sawdust flying brother!

dominic toretto: it's not the saw,it's who handling the saw

My missus has some contraption in our bedroom that oscillates like that and I just duct tape a blade to it. Works perfectly.

no one calls these "recip saws." it's called a "sawzall."

I work EMS and there was this one time I went to this work site they called us in for a leg injury somebody was using one of those and he was standing on the board the board broke and he saw his calf muscle off

That plunge cut has me believing the lvl is a paid actor.

I didn't know recip saws could do clean cuts, ive always just used mine for demolition

Who else blew there screen in attempt to remove she sawdust

Thanks, you reminded me to bring mine in from outside.

I never would have believed you could cut wood with a reciprocating saw

Us carpenters are getting used to these new toys other than chisels and rasps 😂

I’m also wondering why you would notch an engineered beam.

you also can cut corpse with it

I’m way better at cutting out notches than everyone. Nobodies better than me. I was born for this.

MILWAUKEE AND DIABLO ARE SUCH A GOOD COMBO! 👍 😎

Who are we kidding you cut the Thanksgiving turkey with the reciprocating saw.

Aaaand... now that 12" LVL is now an 8" LVL since you've cut through the top or bottom cord.

Um...that is 67 seconds of my life I can never get back. Thanks.

Ah yes I remember the days when my blade was sharp enough to do that

You mean: "watch what I can do with a recip saw". I definitely couldn't do it that straight.

You sure make that look easy, it takes a steady hand and lots of previous mistakes.

Idk why I crack up every time someone so assertively positions the saw to begin cutting. 😂

You can do it... after ten years of experience That was a perfect cut

I give the guy some props, anyone saying that it's s saw, it cuts wood, would most likely look like an idiot cutting a straight line, let alone a plunge, with a sawzall.

Idc what the haters say beautifully executed

Sawzall plunge cut master level unlocked dude!

*!!!FAKE FAKE FAKE !!!* As a carpenter, let me tell you … that 3rd cut was precut under the lumber with what I think was a multi-tool (which is what should’ve been used for the 3rd cut to begin with). These “hacks” 🙄 are total BS 💩

Getting started with the tip is always the hardest, this made it look easy 😂😂

That plunge cut though! 😳

There goes the integrity of that engineered beam.

FAKE: that plunge cut was too fast and easy for it to be real. must have had a relief cut underneath.

As long as you have good blades, no problem.

I blew at my screen to get the sawdust off instinctually and he blew at the same time. Felt magical

😮😅 That's a good trick to do with wood with a saw like that. That's an ingenious idea. Then you can put a piece of wood in there like nothing. You didn't have to take the whole piece of wood out of the other one. Good one. Thank you.

Tell me it's your first day using power tools without telling me it's your first day using power tools

I couldn't cut a straight line with a sawzall even if I had a gun to my head.

You can saw with these things? Damn, I've been using them wrong my whole life .

So you cut out a notch with a sawzall ...wow impressive I'm pretty sure no other carpenter has thought of that idea

And it only took 90 hours a week for 10 years to learn how to do that....very impressive..

I think he's just trying to show what he can do with a saw and he's probably pretty proud. Not everyone can do that on their first day.
