You use what tools ya got is right. My neighbor the woodworker moved to FL last month and left me with some of his unfinished outdoorsman themed clocks. I bought the movements and got 3 of the 4 running. But the 4th was in a full inch thick slab of hardwood and he never got to routing out the back for the movement. No router here. I used a 5/8" bit in my drill and drilled a series of holes in the little 2"X2" spot on the back, then used a hammer and chisel to carve it out. Funny thing is that I do have an oscillating tool for my drill, but just figured it was easier to grab the bit, hammer & chisel. 10 minutes later the clock was installed, photoed & listed on marketplace. Very rustic! Would look great in a barn/homestead house. 😂
You should consider making a fence jig for your saw. Basically a 2x2, 8' on one side, 2 feet on the left. Then you hse a block and a clamp (esp. a quick clamp like a vice) and clamp the nlock where the length you are cutting is. Works so much quicker than even what you are doing here, by using a template piece. Just screw it to the fence using rhe holes in it that arw acrually there for that purpose. Just a tip for anyone really that may not be familiar with the method.

I love that you used what you had on hand to get the job done!
This is a great plan. I like the chicken tractors. They look to be very versatile.
We've been excited to finally get started!
@@BreakingNewRootsI think Sow the Land uses them for pigs and turkies.
Lots of help with building…Kathy 😊
