What happens here

This project demonstrates a quick and effective technique for notching or dadoing a wooden joist. The process involves making multiple parallel, shallow cuts with a circular saw across the section to be removed, followed by manually breaking out the weakened wood to create a clean notch. This method is ideal for fitting joists around obstructions or for creating recesses in lumber for specific construction needs, such as deck framing or floor joist modifications.
