    What kind of saw to cut a Oak Slab?

    If you have enough linear feet of the material, you could, with a large enough machine, plane down to the 3/4" thickness.

    New England - how much to build

    I'd rather do two tandem bays running the long way than try to squeeze into 20' spaces. Passenger cars and small SUVs start at 16' and go up from there. A Tahoe is 17.5'. 20' exterior dimensions is going to net you right around 19' usable interior.

    Gun safe

    A company like Pucel can probably customize a locker design for you to exact size. I don't think with your space constraints, anything that fits in there is going to be much more than a metal storage box.

    Which of my saws should I use for cutting stainless steel trim?

I used the angle grinder with this wheel: https://www.homedepot.com/p/DIABLO-4-5-in-Diamond-Wheel-for-Metal-Cutting-DDD045DIA101F/301454106 Cut slow with the material clamped to a sacrificial board.

    The end of gas power tools in 2024
