Default Hold my beer...

The slab outside my shop has shifted enough that the bottoms of the
barn doors were scraping and could not be opened all the way. Removing
them is a big job, so I came up with this kluge to trim the door
bottoms. Sliding the the face of the grinder guard on the concrete pad
guides the saw about 5/8" over the pad. The adapter arbor is made from
a heavy nut and large washer, trued up on the lathe after welding. A
cheap 9" carbide blade would be preferable -- the doors are 3-1/2"
thick and have screws in the bottoms -- but the steel skilsaw blade
was on hand and got the job done.
