What are you meant to be able to saw using this?

[okoshima]

id be surprised if it saws anything, you can get a store bought one for £3 or less in the us

[ihaveguitarskills!]

We use dollars, not euros

[mdog93]

yeah, you could just buy one online anyway for literally nothing. snd i very much doubt that would saw through wood or metal. unless you want to be there for months. Especially if you can only use it for 30 seconds at a time...

hey pal if you wan't to go buy one online thats fine. but don't be baggin on this when you haven't made, or seen it in action. this was made for people who don't want to spen 20-30 dollars on one. not for people with no lives, that think there qualified to critisise other peoples ideas

[mdog93]

hey, firstly it would be like $10, secondly i have all the time for an idea that works. Maybe i should see it in action- maybe if you made a video of it working then everybody here would think it more feasible than they do now

[pbman123]

firstly my camera is at the bottom of the lake thanks to my stupid cousin, second if you want to see it in action so bad then make one, and thirdly if you really have nothing better to do than sit here online and talk smack to other people then you got another thing comin

[mdog93]

Would braiding three wires yield a stronger saw?

[pbman123]

I don't know at the moment give me about 2 days to test it and i'll get back with you

Actually, I'm kinda surprised. It works decently, but takes longer. I'm thinking okoshima that it's best for a period of time when stores are unavailable but wire is plentiful.
