LSXcalade Build Update July 2018
What happens here
The builder showcases some of the tools used in his workshop, emphasizing that they are not super expensive or off-the-wall. He points out a standard bench grinder and a cut-off saw (miter saw). He specifically highlights a Porter Cable miter saw, noting its effectiveness for cutting aluminum, even with a wood blade. He recommends this tool for anyone working with aluminum due to its ability to make clean cuts. He concludes by stating that most of the hard work on the Escalade is complete, and he's almost ready to begin wiring, making AN lines, and preparing to fire up the engine.
Goal: Present the workshop tools and discuss the remaining steps for the vehicle build.
