Okay, this one has to be fake.

In the second of a pair of YouTube videos circulating the Fine Homebuilding offices today, you'll see what appears to be a perfect crosscut of a 2x4 acheived by throwing a circular saw blade from a 10-ft. distance. If it weren't for the bad acting and our own experience editing video with Final Cut, we might have believed this one.

As always, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.

And there's the question of what happens when he gets an itch at the last moment and MISSES the whole board?? Nah. Stickin with me handsaw.
