Day 1 farm fencing competition 2023! This one hurt!
What happens here
Prepare various wooden components by cutting them to size and notching. Use a Milwaukee chainsaw or Husqvarna chainsaw to efficiently cut fence posts, rails, or braces. A multi-tool with an oscillating blade is then used to create precise notches in the main posts, which are essential for seating the horizontal braces securely. This ensures proper fit and stability for the fence structure.
Goal: Cut and notch wooden components for structural integrity.
