What happens here
Prepare a wooden plank to serve as a guide for cutting the pavers. First, attach a small metal bracket to one end of the plank using self-tapping screws and a DeWalt 20V XR impact driver. This bracket will help secure the guide. Next, measure the required length of the guide plank using a tape measure and mark it with a pencil. Use a Husky speed square to ensure a perfectly straight and square cut line across the plank. Finally, use a DeWalt circular saw to carefully cut the wooden plank to the precise marked length.
Goal: Create a stable and accurate wooden guide for cutting pavers
