The Circular Saw
A lot of people don't realize how fortunate we are to have houses. There are many tools we us in the making of them however one of them, in my opinion is more important than some. The circular saw. You might say that you don't need a circular saw to make a house which is true but can you imagine making a house with a hand saw. Using one in woodshop is hard enough already. The circular saw was invented in 1780 and the Germans are credited for its creation. They were ( And still are) used to cut wood with a astonishing speed that helps build houses and other wooden things much faster. It is a way to cut wood very accurately as well. By simply running a piece of wood over a bladed you now have multiple pieces. INCREDIBLE!!!!! We don't only use circular saws for houses. If we didn't have them, we also wouldn't have Chicken coops, fences and logs for fire and paper. It's blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut you. That is why these days, they have a rail that protects your hands from the blade. So next time you think, " Making a house isn't that hard" think about how hard it would be without a circular saw. And also how hard it is to make a house out of gingerbread much less a full size house made of wood.

Dear Milo,
ReplyDeleteI liked the way you added character to your writing with analogies and all caps. A question I have is this: If the Germans invented the circular saw who invented the hand saw?

Milo,
ReplyDeleteI think that your post gets people to think about how life would be different without these tools. It made me really appreciate the structures that we live and work in. Question: If the circular saws were replaced by something and were never invented, what do you think would replace them?

ReplyDeleteHey Milo,
ReplyDeleteI liked the information about the circular saw. It's really interesting to see how something seemingly a little meaningless is of utmost importance. What did the early circular saws look like?

Hi Milo,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post, because it taught me a lot about saws and I can definitely connect to the part about woodshop, and using a hand saw. It's really tiring! One question I have is, if the circular saw is so much easier to use, why do you think hand saws are still really popular?
Dear Milo,
ReplyDeleteI like how you added a lot of character into this. And referenced things that put your topic into perspective. Like when you talked about the gingerbread and when you talked about making a house with a handsaw. Do you know when exactly the handsaw was made because it seems like it has a lot of advanced technology?

Hi Milo,
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you explained about the saw! It was very interesting. I was wondering if you use these saws at home?
Super nice writing!

Milo,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about the circular saw and how it is so much easier to use than a handsaw we use in wood shop. I also like how you put in the other objects the circular saw can be of help too. Where did you get the idea for writing about a saw and has the circular saw effected you?
Great job!

Hi Milo,
ReplyDeleteI like how you added in the part about the gingerbread house which made it humorous. My question is how big are circular saws usually.
Thanks, Braden
Hi Milo,
ReplyDeleteI like how you were able to make the post short but still hold a lot of information. My question is who exactly invented the saw?
Dear Milo
ReplyDeleteI loved the humor in your writing and the great analogies. My question is, was the first circular saw powered by a motor ?
Great post !

Hey guys,
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the amazing questions. The original circular saw looks similar to the ones now except, it looks well... old. It also didn't have gaurds so it was much easier to hurt yourself. There is actually a lot of debate about who invented the circular saw so I can't answer that. Some circular saws are either about as big as a breadbox and you hold them or they are mounted onto a machine that just has a blade coming up and you run the wood over that. Thanks again guys!
Milo
Dear Milo,
ReplyDeleteNice blog post! I really like how you bring up facts about the circular saw and how much it can help us. One question I have is how many times have you used the circular saw before? Great post!

Hi Milo!
ReplyDeleteI liked how you put into perspective something that we don't think about very often, and showed us how important is really was. What other tool do you think is really important?

Dear Milo,
ReplyDeleteI liked how you talked about the circular saw and how it all affects all of us in the long run even if we don't normally think about how it affects us. I also liked how you used examples. Who invented the circle saw? When was it invented?

Dear Milo,
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you showed how and for what it is used for these days and how without it it would have been really hard building all that we have today!
My Question is: At the time it was invented what was the inventor thinking?
Why did he see the need for it at the time?
Thanks!

Milo,
ReplyDeleteI really liked hearing about how the circular saw revolutionized architecture, it must have been really hard before they were invented. You visual was great, as well.
Great post!

Dear Milo,
ReplyDeleteI never really realized how important a circular saw really is to build a house! My question to you is where was the circular saw invented?
Dear Milo,
ReplyDeleteYour blog definitely made me think about all of the work it takes to build a house, and how a single tool can have such a major impact on our lives. Have you ever used a circular saw before?
Great Post!

Dear Milo,
ReplyDeleteI was amazed out how important this tool was while building. It's weird that this one tool can have such a big impact on our lives. Without it, we all might have very different houses. I didn't know much about this tool before, and I kind of overlooked it. Who invented the circular saw, and was it created mainly for building houses?

Milo,
ReplyDeleteIt was really cool to hear about how important this tool was while building, and how one tool can make such a difference. Who invented the circular saw? When was it invented? Nice Work
