Undocumented uses for a lawn mower: Flattening the molehills and making a path to the firewood store that doesn't break my ankles and I can push the wheelbarrow through without getting stuck all the time.

Best done when it's time to resharpen the blade anyways 😁

It worked rather well. I did one pass with the wheels on the highest setting and then another on the regular and it's now so much better to get through there.

Habe einen Innensechsrund-T10 aus dem Hause "Powerfix" (Lidl?) durch #toolabuse abgebrochen, genau am Übergang zum gehärteten Bit. Ich wusste nicht, dass diese Klingen in der Produktion aus zwei Teilen zusammengefügt werden.
Gibt's da vielleicht "eine Maus" zu?
y'know how you can work up a little jig and run your circular saw as a table saw? i wanna do that but for a jig saw, but I'm not sure if the forces involved are in safe directions. I'm thinking here of how even though it is also a rotary bit, a drill press is not safe as a router. prefer personal knowledge but (practical tool and wood) theory will do, i can duckBingGoo but the internet is full of detailed instructions for bad ideas.
