# Abstract / Chapters / Sections idk
* greet
* problem of trying to work more 'free'
* looking to the bench hooks for crosscuts but in need of rip cut ability
* clamping works but requires multiple
* enter the low japanese saw horses at this point
* rationale for the materials
* cutting up the pieces and processesing
* worth mentioning the lax nature of this build
* functional stopping point and closing thoughts
* including the part where we talk about taking the project a bit further
# verbal script notes
* `V:` stands for voice over
* `S:` Describes the scene
* `E:` Gives extra details about transitions effects and other extras
we may need
# Script
## --
* V: hi i'm temper, and I make stuff
* S: Introduction from inside main house (vrc)
* E: house should have a framed picture of the thing we are building
## --
* V: sometimes the stuff I make is made out of wood which requires sawing
* S: minor change here because we're going to swap angles to something where we can actually see the framed pic we were mentioning earlier
## --
* V: And as a handtool wood worker there are two main types of sawing that I do... crosscutting, and rip sawing. Firstly crosscutting which can be easily done but using a pair of bench hooks to easily cut **across** the grain
* S: First we'll show off some random b-roll of cross cutting, before the scene change
* E: tiny text joke about being a weekend warrior or something, to drive home the non-professional easier going vibe
## --
* V: And secondly rip cutting which is... a bit more tricky as it requires some kind of clamp to setup before doing the cut
* S: b-roll of setting up the clamp before continuing on into the ripcut b-roll.
## --
* V: Luckily for the few times where a rip cut is necessary, particularly on smaller stock the low japanese sawhorse is a reasonable option which also packs away, doesn't eat into my bench and allows me to work freely; a style of working that I've come enjoy more and more when ever possible due to being able to manipulate the piece so easily and for the dead-simple workholding setups
* S: sliding b-roll of the saw horses, nothing too fancy
* E: during the mention of working freely we should fade in a note to the 'working free' stuff which is a big driver for this mentality going forward.
## --
* V: Also, these are super easy to build and get started using so let's have a gander at the plan. Materials consist of some random 2x8 cedar that I had laying around. my stuff is from *house depot* which actually cleans up really nicely after some planing and finish is applied, plus its super cheap
* S: showing some plans in the back starting with the materials list
* E: house depot meme. and material bullet point list with pics of the items as they are mentioned
## --
* V: It probably goes without saying that if you want to use some other type of lumber then ofc you can but I would personally stick with at least "2 by" material so that it can withstand a bit of abuse. Remember that these go on the floor and will have to stand up to a bit jostling around.
* S: Back to the shop/room scene where we're mostly just standing around
* E: some kind of fade in to this scene or just a jump cut but definitely we want to turn into the camera without the green screen when doing this kind of aside content stuff.
