Who you taking in the epic battle of Nick and the Deckorators railing bolt battle?!

What happens here

Continue the trimming process by moving down the cable railing post, systematically cutting each remaining threaded rod. Maintain a consistent cutting technique, ensuring each rod is cut cleanly and as flush as possible to the securing hardware. Take short breaks if needed to avoid fatigue and maintain precision. Double-check each cut as you go to ensure no sharp edges or excessive protrusions remain.

Goal: Complete trimming all threaded rods on the post.
