What happens here

This DIY project demonstrates a comparative strength test between wood framing members that have an intentional overcut and those with a clean, square cut. Using a custom-built test frame and a hydraulic pump, pressure is applied to each piece until failure, with the goal of determining if overcuts significantly compromise the structural integrity of the wood, particularly in applications like rafters and stairs.
