- removing a saw blade and a blade guard from the reciprocating saw;
- cutting the blade guard into two portions, wherein one of the two portions is a blade guard portion and the other one of the two portions is an end cap portion;
- attaching the end cap portion to an underside of a housing of a reciprocating-action assembly, wherein the assembly includes an extendable and retractable shaft 4 operatively connected to a reciprocally operating mechanism of the assembly;
- making a cam;
- securing the cam to a gear to make a gear-and-cam assembly;
