Cutting and Preparing Lumber for Framing

What happens here

The process begins with precisely cutting lumber for the framing members. A worker is shown using a Makita circular saw to make crosscuts on treated dimensional lumber (likely floor joists for a deck, though the technique is applicable to shed framing). The focus is on quick, accurate cuts to ensure proper fit. Later, an oscillating multi-tool, also from Makita, is briefly used, potentially for making plunge cuts, notches, or fine-tuning existing cuts that a circular saw cannot easily access.

Goal: Prepare framing members to the correct length and shape for assembly.
