About the "Sawzall"

In addition to being an awesome tool, capable of cutting through any material known to man, the "sawzall" is now a unit of measurement for the level of difficulty of a Witchger Project.

Taking into account the complexity of the procedure(s), technical know-how needed, and physical labor required, we will give each project a rating. "5" is the maximum number of sawzalls a project (that we'll undertake ourselves, anyway) can earn.

To give you a frame a reference:


(1 sawzall)=building simple bookshelves, changing a car's oil

(2 sawzalls)=assembling a computer, enclosing a yard with stakes and metal fencing

(3 sawzalls)=building a china hutch from the "New Yankee Workshop" plans, reroofing a house (including replacing several sheets of the plywood)

(4 sawzalls)=changing a car's clutch, installing an oak hardwood floor (including replacing parts of the subfloor)

(5 sawzalls)=felling a 150-foot-tall tree in the backyard, rebuilding an entire car engine

Half scales are also used.
