Re: Cutting Straight

Thank you all very much. Your comments are very kind. I am so very pleased you like it.
The title "cutting straight" was to highlight the way in which I carefully plan the major cuts so as to have only a little finishing work. If you pause the video you can see the marking out process and the blue chalk lines I use for the "Human Mill" effect.
And my favorite bit is the 3ft hand saw I used on the ends. A wonderfully satisfying tool to use and efficient in use as it cuts so accurately, again I have negligble finishing to do.
It was made to go by a pond for Reigate and Banstead Countryside Service. Click the video to go to Youtube for the full story.
Thanks again everyone, nice to feel I am doing something right.
