what show on the history channel

[relaxshacksDOTcom]

@AndhePants It hasn't aired yet (in Jan or Feb)- a show hosted by two twin comedians, the Sklar Brothers- its called "The United STATS of America"- an hour long episode dealing with America's obsession with space and "stuff". We built them a mini guest house in a Brooklyn warehouse....

Omg, at first I thought you were going to cut that hole with a screw.. Ultimate redneck! :D

[relaxshacksDOTcom]

@artfx9 You actually COULD- I did a few takes of making the rounds with the jig and the cut (from the screw) was DEEP- so deep that the jigsaw more or less guided itself in the track....

WOW! MOAR videos like this please. I am in need of education, I plan to make a small home as soon as I get the land to put it on. I know virtually nothing about building stuff.

If your scrap board was a bit bigger you could have mounted a Router on it and cut it out that way.

You should do more videos when you build these tiny houses.

[NoobTamer]

You were on the history channel?

Deek!!! Long time no video. Hit us up a tune of your FB link. At least we then we can be kept abreast of what you are doing. Like a taking a paternity blood test.

It's not that far from how most people cut circles with jigs. Just get some scrap metal to mount your jig saw too. Then you can drill a few holes into the metal so you have a "standard" for various radius. Drill a hole where you want the center to be and use a bolt with a couple of washers and you can mount the jig to the circle itself and you can spin the jig and save some time without having to score anything.
