About The Company

Maker’s Challenge Central, founded by Raechal Petris, is an online woodworking community that inspires and educates makers through interactive challenges, tutorials, and competitions. Focused on furniture building and DIY projects, Raechal helps woodworkers of all skill levels refine their craft and confidently build high-quality pieces.

The Challenge

Before using an Original Saw Company Wood Cutting Station, Raechal faced several challenges in her workshop:

  • Inability to cut long boards efficiently: Her previous setup lacked the stability and precision needed for larger materials.
  • Measurement inconsistencies: Achieving accurate and repeatable cuts was problematic, leading to wasted materials.
  • Inefficient workflow: Her miter saw had to be propped up to stay level, making the cutting process slow and cumbersome.

The Solution

Original Saw Company donated a Wood Cutting Station with Measuring Systems to her shop to support the Maker’s Challenge Central community and improve efficiency in Raechal’s workshop. This system provided a stable, precise, and efficient solution to her cutting needs. Additionally, to further support the woodworking community, Original Saw Company donated a Miter Saw Stand to the winner of one of the Maker’s Challenge competitions.

The Results

Since incorporating the Wood Cutting Station into her workflow, Raechal has seen immediate improvements in her shop’s efficiency and accuracy:

  • Perfectly accurate cuts every time – The precision measuring system eliminates human error, making mistakes on length nearly impossible.
  • Increased efficiency – Raechal can now measure and cut quickly, reducing project completion time.
  • Reliable repeat cuts – The system allows for consistent, accurate, and repeatable cuts, improving productivity.
  • Better workflow – The station provides a stable and level work surface, eliminating the need for makeshift setups.

 

“The Original Saw Measuring System and Cutting Station is one of my most used tools in the shop. It eliminates the need for the old saying, ‘measure twice, cut once.’ With the precision measuring system, it’s impossible to make a mistake on length. My woodshop is now more efficient, saving time and giving me the precise cuts I need to finish projects faster. I absolutely LOVE my system and am so grateful to have it.”
