What are you.planning on DIYing this year? Large or small I'd love to hear about it. Is it something you've done before or something out of your comfort zone?

I'm planning on building some wheelie bin storagefor the from of the house that's on a bit of a slope. Never done anything like that before. I'm going to get a wood blade for my angle grinder as I cannot cut straight with a saw to save my life.

I'm sure it'll end up looking like Homer's handywork.

Before or after that I'd like to build a small work bench for the garage. But the possibilities are so much to decide on.

My circular saw is invaluable to make quick, straight cuts. I just set a rafters square on the timber as a fence and cut along it. Or I use a piece of squared mdf as a fence if I’m cutting a longer piece.

I’ve never considered cutting wood with an angle grinder.
