I have cut lots of 2x4s in my day and I think that is a hoax/trick because there is no where near enough sawdust for that to have cut it and cut that cleanly through. Just my opinion here though and I guess it could be legit. :thinking:

I am not buying it, either. I checked Snopes, but nothing, yet.

A saw blade powered by the best saw could not cut a 2X4 that fast.

Nope, I gotta call this one bogus -- although they did do a great job making this fake. :thumbsup:

It is fake. If you pause it just before the blade hits, the saw dust is already there.

The first clue it was a joke, is when they drew a square line on the board. :lol: Danny

Right. I reckon the guy who marked it was using one o' them newfangled laser pencils and he had already cut 99% of the way through it.

What, you say? You haven't even seen one o' them newfangled laser pencils, nevermind used one? Man, what century am you guys livin' in?

Of course I got one, but that doesn't help you much, as seein' it is on a strictly need-to-know basis....

Man, I wish it was a law that anyone with a video camera had to take a class on how to use it. Sometimes these things give me a headache. Can't they hold a camera steady?
