Let's Get Started

To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.

STEP 1

Step 1

Start by cutting all of the pieces you'll need to complete your living wall, following the provided cut list. First, measure and mark your lengths of cedar planks. All of these cuts can be made using your Dremel Saw-Max tool equipped with the SM500 Wood & Plastic Wheel. Secure your material to your work bench, turn on your tool and cut along your marked lines. You'll notice how easy it is to make these one-handed cuts, easily following your marked lines through the notch at the front-end of the tool. Repeat this step for all of the materials on your cut list keeping them organized in separate piles.

STEP 2

Step 2

Once we cut all of our pieces, we decided to add some finishing touches to our living wall by miter cutting some of the edges. First, we miter cut the top frame piece of the trellis and planter box supports at a 45° angle. To do this, you will need your Saw-Max tool, a SM600 flush cutting blade and a miter guide. Place the miter guide flush against the cedar plank. Clamp the guide in place. Rest the Saw-Max against the guide as you begin cutting and move the tool smoothly through the material. Cut the opposite end of each support at an opposite 45 degree angle.
