Every Way to Cut Cheap Wood (39 Methods)

- Join TH-cam maker Louis Weisz as he attempts to cut a 2x4 in every way possible. Which method is the best? Can there be a best method? What does 'best' even mean? Who says what's best? I wood say they're all pretty nifty (besides the ones that aren't).
Thanks again to the people at the Columbus Idea Foundry for helping with the turboplane and resistance burning, and to my dad for helping with the lathe!

It’s genuinely blowing my mind that nobody realizes that this is an extremely faithful parody of those every way to cook an item videos lmfao
I was thinking the same thing! As soon as I saw the intro I knew it seemed familiar
the intro was also a nice touch

I really watched this guy cut wood for 12 minutes and am not disappointed
Same
I watched for 6 minutes! X2 speed baby!
Remember when humanity was civilised? Good times
Yep
True
This is one of my favorite videos. Period. I've rewatched it over the years and it still holds up. I've been thinking & I think that any of the ones that were said that got stuck - the steak knife for example - may be possible. If you cut a wider hole like done with the turbo plane, you'd be able to fit the blade further into the 2x4, and you might eventually cut it. The way to cut anything is to make a wide enough cut.
In the past, when a timber was called a 2x4 [or "two-by-four"], it actually measured 2 inches by 4 inches. Now, most timber is milled and planed to give it a little more of a finished look, and a little more of a consistent size and profile
Ok
European 2x4, which isn't technically called 2x4 but everyone still calls it that, is actually way closer to being 2x4 than actual 2x4, it's 48x98mm, only a few mm short of 51.2 and 102.4.
“It gets stuck as soon as you make progress.”
Relatable.

This was a great video and even though it's kind of old, I'd love to see it revisited in the form of maybe, how to put a hole in a 2x4. This was really informative though. I knew some of the types of saws but I've always wanted to at least learn what the other types are called. And it's good to know I was misusing at least a couple of names.

Ikr and I also love how the hacksaw part about being for metal sounds like a complete lie because they weren't able to cut through chains and bones are as strong as steel so movie logic I guess

@@aquarius5264 Thanks!
Yes, pain.
Even my crappy 15 year old brain can tell that is not the way to do it. I've only used a small handsaw. Not the big ones.
Yep, its a straight back and forth from the elbow with one hand. extending from where the base of the saw begins at the wood to the end of the blade. Depending on the length of the saw your arm may sweep behind you, something that can't happen with the "two handed grip"
I honestly like this format of "every way to (blank)" videos.

4. Biting through it (actually don't even try, just use a beaver instead)
5. Brass knuckles (if you're a gangster)
6. Corrosive chemicals (why)
7. A lense (like a laser cutter, but slow and painful)
8. Rope (you'll need a lot of it)
9. Rats (like beavers, but more universal)
10. Karate chop
11. A sword (or any other melee weapon)
12. A shovel
13. A pickaxe
14. Basically any sharp or blunt object, just beat it 'till it snaps

You can "cut" wood with an axe, by angekling it at 45° So you can kind of cut wood. You get a spike, but you get through it.
You *literally* get through the spike.
Well, a felling axe is designed to crosscut trees, while hatchets split along the grain, so those probably work way better
@@notme8232 an ax does work better, but in a pinch you can cut a 2x4 in 2 or three minutes, you just alternate every other hit between straight cuts and angled cuts, instead of the 2 45 then one straight you do with a ax

@@cheesegrater5340 that is amazing bro
Great video, Louis!
Handsaw is definitely my preferred method. When it's good and sharp it is almost effortless, and only a little slower than some power saws. I also like it because it's relatively quiet.
Another terrible way to do it would be with a mallet and chisel. Also other chopping devices, e.g., machete, kukri, broadsword.
Fire, though, was historically (or prehistorically) a pretty important way of cutting logs. When the other option is a stone axe, using fire is pretty attractive.
Actually I tried a mallet and chisel! It was SO bad though hahaha - I didn’t even think it qualified to be in the video 😂
Wish I had thought of the sword idea though! That’s a good one
While on the topic of weapons... You've heard of an axe, and you definitely heard of a battle axe, so why not use a battle axe?
It would probably work. Depending on the type of battle axe, it might not be built to take that kind of impact and the axe could be damaged. The blades can be thinner and wider on some battle axes. Scholagladiatoria did a video on this called "can battle axes chop down trees".
@@stevenreckling203 Well then... I did not expect a fellow nerd to drop by... Interesting
@@Weisz it's similar to a chisel, but have you tried a splitting wedge and a sledge hammer? The fastest way is to make three punctures on the wide side. Also a sledge ax would probably work if you have the muscle to swing it/ some experience with a ax or hatchet- cut once at a 45 angle then once at a straight angle, removing a triangle shaped chunk of wood, you can cut a 2x4 in about 3 minutes with that technique ( if I figure out the technical name for sledge axe I'll edit it in)
Its that point in life again where its 3:00 am you have nothing to eat nothing to do and you watch a guy cut wood in different ways

I feel called out
Are you talking to me specifically?
I’ve watched this video 5 times and I’m doing that right now
😳
Why do I keep coming back to this every year, every month, this never ending cycle continues…
I’m in the Army and one time we where loading connexs but they didn’t have wood panels and 2x4s inside for spacing and to keep the metal lockers away from the sides of the container, luckily though we had a lot of raw 2x4s and some sheet wood, but we didn’t have electronic ways to cut them. So out came the leathermans, curbs, boots and pocket knives
Everybody who's ever attended an american taekwondo class knows the fastest way to cut a 2 by 4 is with your shins.
Aren’t you turkey?
@@burninglettuce472 He is an Imposter
Or chopping it with your hand

@@burninglettuce472 the least nationalist turk (I'm turkish btw)
Actually, you probably can cut a 2 by 4 with a Dremel. You need a cutting bit. They sell one. It looks kinda like a drill bit, but it is actually for lateral movement. It allows for non-straight cuts. (Also works for enlarging a hole when you don't have an actual drill and the Dremel drill bits are to thin.)
This keeps me entertained for 12mins :D

Why wood you?
to prove that it's possible. or just for the sake of it.
I have tried using just files to cut wood by basically just wearing it away. and I wasn't even trying to "cut" it to make something.
That was the best line.
I loved how he said it.
"Olfa cutter"
"Great for cardboard"
So... a box cutter?
@@JohnSmith-gs2rv The ones i’ve seen and used in my life does.
box cutters use two sided blades and “olfa” (i call them snap blades” use snap off blades
In Australia we call these Stanley knives. I believe it is more of a top brand like the Olfa cutter but we call pretty much all handheld box cutters and such the same thing.
Did a little research and the BLADE name is actually Stanley! Interesting.
Hello. Thank you for your lovely video and time for filming this video, but I am not here for the purpose on commenting. I'm here to ask for an addition, if you're mentioning the use of resistance wood burning in the future. This type of wood burning conducts a voltage worth of 2000 volts. That type of electric circuit would kill any living being, that even slightly touches anything, that could have electric charges in it from the actual kit itself. It's actually so powerful, that a person would die before they even hit the floor. Thank you for reading, and I hope you add that warning in the future to not attempt that action at home, as any mistake is deadly. Lovely video, and lots of support from Bulgaria!
I have almost finished building my outdoor office, the jigsaw blade broke on the first C24... so I built the office with a drill, hammer and hand saw (I also cut down the willow tree that stood where I was going to put the office and only used the chainsaw for the trunk and did the rest with the hand saw).

I'm jealous of whoever gets wood for so cheap.
Don't you think he means that this wood was maybe of inferior quality, or maybe even leftover/taken out of the line for imperfections? Go to a mill and ask for a few 2x4's they tossed out, they're probably dirt cheap.
