Jigsaw

Can I use a jigsaw to cut plywood and 2x4's?

Not much, just a few. I am skeerd of a circle saw.

I need a little work space in my garage. I'm not telling Fro til I get all the supplies and have it started so mum is the word.

 

I are serious.

Reb????

Is this all I'll need?

2x4's
plywood
Measuring tape
hammer
screws
nails
screwdriver
jigsaw?
gloves

 

You can use a jigsaw....but for cutting straight lines, a skilsaw is the ticket and no more dangerous than a jigsaw....just louder.

Ace built his in the garage. Looks great and super strong....the work bench too. HA! Seriously, he did it in no time flat. He can tell you exactly what to do.

 

do you think Ace would build me a gigantic wooden horse?

 

I made this

 

Is there going to be a "trojan" joke in there somewhere??

 

No.

 

Mitre Saw. Circular saw on the plywood to get a straighter cut. A jigsaw would be all over the place and take you 10x longer to make a cut. Make Fro do it if you're scared.

 

The jigsaw will work fine on the plywood. You might want to use some kind of straight edge to guide it, though. I doubt a jigsaw can handle something as thick as a 2x4. If you don't want to use a circular saw, you can always use a good old fashioned hand saw for those, or even a hack saw if it's more comfortable for you.
