Wow! You are such a movie star! *swoon*
Very well done video! You should consider making them professionally.
Well, the sun rose... in so many colours it nearly broke my heart... Worked me over like a work of art...and I'm all part of that...
Thanks! Last time i opened wall I hit wires. Oops!
I will use your technique next time.
I think I knew this but have forgotten.

hey, keep it up. You've got good "presence".
personal pet peeve: I always mention orbital sawzalls whenever discussing blade orientation. Not a big issue for cutting drywall, obviously, but a lot of folks don't seem to get the concept.
enjoying your photo thread too.

Thanks! - I don't use an orbital sawzall, but I can see where blade orientation would be an issue in that case. If I couldn't mount the blade as shown, I wouldn't have any use for it anyway!

My sawzall can be switched from orbital to non-orbital, and the blade can go either way. i always explain to folks if they're going to mount the blade for flush cutting, like you did, they probably don't want the orbital selection (unless they want the blade moving away from the material on the cut stroke...)
irrelevant to your video, of course. just something i've explained over and over.
i meant what i said about the presence, though. at least as comfortable on the screen as norm.
