So this is a little out of the ordinary for the ToolCrib blog but I thought I’d throw it out there and see what you think…

I hardly ever cut twice…
Your Result ~ 93% You Are the Band Saw
You are the band saw. Too much planning slows you down - you’re happiest when the sawdust’s flying. You learn by doing and you’re perfectly ready to cut (or resaw…) twice so long as you keep the action going. Versatile and energetic you’re a welcome addition to anyone’s woodshop. You trust your gut and you listen to what the wood has to say.

hey Jay. Thanks for taking the quiz… something new we’re trying out. I have some others in the hopper…
So you’re a cut-once kinda guy? Hm… maybe I need to recalibrate the quiz ;)
