I learned deck building from a production deck builder. While he could build decks quickly, he could have been even faster if he’d used more task-specific tools. For example, he cut 6×6 with a 71/4-inch sidewinder, then finished the cuts with a bone-jarring reciprocating saw. He should have used an 81/4-inch wormdrive like the Skil that rides shotgun with me.
