What happens here

After marking, use a circular saw to make the primary straight cuts along the marked lines. For any curved or more intricate cuts that the circular saw cannot handle, switch to a jigsaw to carefully follow the remaining marked sections, ensuring all pieces are cut precisely to size.

Goal: Cut wood pieces according to markings.
