What happens here

The presenter uses a level as a straight edge to guide a circular saw, making a clean, straight cut across the overhanging composite deck boards. This technique is necessary because rain previously washed away the chalk line marks, making freehand cutting impractical. This method ensures a perfectly straight and finished edge for the deck.

Goal: Achieve a perfectly straight, finished edge on the deck.

our plan was to use a chalk line to create a straight edge to cut all the tails off from the deck but then it started to rain and washed our marks away so instead frankie gets a little creative with the level we don't have a top rail for this deck and so we've got to get a little bit creative okay i'm still not sold on this idea of what we're going to do for a top rail it's got to wrap all the way around it i want to show you a handrail that i made that frankie and i made a while back and we're going to scout and see if we can duplicate it so everyone thought i was crazy when i wanted to do this but you see this it's live edge i found this in the woods let me show you what it looks like this is i think this is amazing looking wood and you know it would be more
