I'm working on a project, a heavy wood box with internal bracing. The internal braces that I used are oversized, I used 2x4s as it's what I had on hand that make a full cubic frame.
It's incredibly strong - glued and screwed together. But also really heavy. To the point that I'd like to lighten it up.
Since it's fully assembled with outer walls, accessing the interior is tough. I have one side that was never affixed.
I'd like to remove some material from inside, from the 2x4s. But they have long screws through them. Can't easily sawsall, oscillating tool is too slow. Was thinking an angle grinder, perhaps using something like a masonry grinding wheel. Just shave down the wood and attack any screw tips if I should encounter them.
Any thoughts on what to use?
Thanks!!
