Dino Makropoulos’ inventions bring woodworking skills to the masses.

The very best product designs enable masses of people to either a) do things they couldn’t do before, or b) do things they did do before, but in a better way. Ex-carpenter Dino Makropoulos’ designs for the EZ Smart Woodworking System, which can be used by both professionals and average consumers alike, satisfies on both counts.

“The idea,” Dino explains, “is to make [the process of building things] better, easier, faster, and safer.”

The EZ System is rather vast, so for this article we’re going to focus on one of its main products, and one that we feel even a casual DIY-er would find extremely useful: The Smart Guide System. This simple but ingenious tool, in conjunction with a circular saw–any circular saw–puts the power and accuracy of a table saw in your hand, minus the danger. It enables even the clumsy or inexperienced to cut wood with better-than-factory edges, among other things. What used to be tricky, dangerous, or two-man operations become, with the Smart Guide System, something one person can easily accomplish, in less time.
