What happens here

Using the specialized "BAS" marking tool, the presenter demonstrates the improved technique for making clear, visible marks. Instead of a small pencil 'X', the tool allows for a wider, more pronounced 'X' mark. The marks are made by pressing the tool against the wood and drawing along its edges, creating a clear, bold "X" that clearly indicates the waste side of the cut line, ensuring the "cut guy" (the person making the cut) can easily see exactly where to cut.

Goal: Create clear and visible cut marks using the specialized BAS tool.

little pencil, stop. We need to make sure the cockeyed can see the marks. So, when we do this, we're doing solid marks. >> [snorts] >> Don't do an X like this, do an X like this. You want to be sure the 40-year carpenters can still see the mark. This is the perfect gift for the senior carpenter on your crew.
