Spagnuolo vs. Marks Epic Battle – Question of the Week
This week’s question is from Kevin, and boy is it a good one! He writes:
“If you and David Marks were forced to be in a fight to the death, like Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock in Star Trek, and could only use wood working tools as weapons, what would be your weapon, who would win, and why?”
And here was my reply:
“Ahh…..a wonderful question. And one in which I have thought about many times. If I know David, he would select a weapon with long range. Perhaps a 6′ pipe clamp or even throwing chisels. Me, I prefer close range melee combat. I believe my weapon of choice would be my reciprocating saw outfitted with a 12″ demolition blade. I would have to be careful at first, but once I am in close, I believe I will have the advantage. For David may be wiser, but he is also older, and slower. I may be a young pup, but I am fast and wily.
Quite the match up indeed!
Take care Kevin. Be safe. And always be on guard. You just never know when a woodworking battle royal will ensue.”

Yeah but Norm would destroy you both with his brad nailer! :)
for close quarters battles, im not sure if a 4″ angle grinder with a lancelot chain saw blade can be beat…
also… for longer range combat…
you can lock the power switch, and swing the cord like a medieval mace
Don’t forget to wear your safety glasses Marc.
turning lathes work great just ask my wife shes proud of her short hair cut – OW!!
Norm would be officiating as T’Pau.
Now this was a post that I was not sure about….
Excellent question – Live long and prosper or at least do some finishing
