Obtaining
Section titled “Obtaining”Unlock the Circular Saw technology, then build a Circular Saw in the Workyard with the materials below. Construction does not require Wooden beam, so you do not need to buy beams to build your first saw.
- 10 × Complex iron parts
- 8 × Wooden plank
- 4 × Nails
Before crafting, put the Log in a Timber stockpile so the saw can use it. Also reserve the Complex iron parts consumed by the recipe.
Trading requires tier II goods with Tress. The base purchase price is 58 copper coins and the base resale price is 39. Check the trading screen for the current quote.

Jointing

|---|---|---|---|
 | 1 × Wooden beam  2 × Nails |  1 × Jointing | |
Workbench upgrade
Section titled “Workbench upgrade”These materials upgrade an existing Carpenter's Workbench to Carpenter's Workbench II. They apply to the upgrade, not construction from scratch. This page uses that upgrade as its building example; it does not list every building, obstacle or DLC use.
