Project Ideas
Business
Selective Demolition & Salvage Service
Offer careful deconstruction of kitchens, baths, and built-ins to preserve materials for resale. Recip blades that cut both wood and embedded nails let you separate cabinets and trim without splitting. Sell salvaged fixtures and lumber or bundle disposal and patch-back services for higher margins.
On-Site Pallet and Crate Breakdown
Provide a mobile service to rapidly process pallets/crates for warehouses and makers. Use metal-cutting blades to sever nails between boards, producing clean, reusable lumber with minimal splits. Charge per pallet or hourly; upsell sorted, de-nailed boards and bundled kindling.
Mobile Scrap Reduction & Haul-Prep
Cut bulky metal and wood items (appliances, bed frames, shelving, fencing) into transportable sections on-site. The thicker blades reduce vibration on awkward cuts and handle mixed-material assemblies. Partner with property managers and contractors; bill per load plus on-site cutting fee.
Emergency Board-Up and Storm Cleanups
Respond to storm damage by removing debris entangled with nails, screws, and metal fencing, then secure openings with plywood. The blades’ dual wood/metal capability handles branches with embedded hardware and twisted flashing. Offer 24/7 service with flat call-out plus hazard premium.
Reclaimed Materials Curation & Sales
Source demo rights, deconstruct structures selectively, and resell curated lots: nail-free joists, mantel beams, angle iron, and architectural trim. Use the blades to free materials fast without splitting or ruining edges. Sell via online marketplace, pop-up yard, or subscription ‘project packs.’
Creative
Reclaimed Beam + Pipe Shelving
Build wall-mounted shelves using salvaged timbers and black steel pipe. Use the thick demolition blades to flush-cut old nails and screws, then switch to metal blades to cut threaded rod and pipe to length. The reduced vibration helps keep cuts straighter when trimming shelves to fit tight alcoves.
Industrial Pallet Coffee Table
Break down pallets quickly by cutting the ring-shank nails between boards and stringers without splitting the wood. The Turbo-Teeth metal blades slice through hidden fasteners, while the optimized geometry speeds through thicker deck boards. Finish with a clear coat and add a welded or bolted angle-iron frame.
Garden Scrap-Metal Sculpture on Wood Backer
Create outdoor art by cutting shapes from scrap flat bar, conduit, and old tools, then mounting to a reclaimed wood panel. The micro-blast tooth treatment keeps edges sharp when transitioning between wood and metal, letting you refine silhouettes and trim the wood backer for clean borders.
Rustic Mirror with Steel Strap Inlay
Frame a mirror with reclaimed planks and accent with steel straps at the corners. Use wood blades for miters and to notch recesses, then swap to metal blades to cut flat bar, bolts, and decorative washers. The increased blade thickness helps keep cuts straight for tight inlays and square corners.
Live-Edge Bench with Threaded-Rod Joinery
Make a bench from a live-edge slab and 2x lumber legs, tied together with exposed threaded rod. Cut the slab ends to length, notch leg joinery, and trim rod and washers flush using metal blades. The blades’ wear resistance handles embedded grit or stray brads in reclaimed stock.
