No table saw? Build a $15 Sawboard for your small budget project!
DrewKaree:
Here you see the back half of my sawboard after it was cut. Both the top piece and the bottom piece are now evenly matched, and you can still see the angle the two pieces were fastened at. I'll clean this up later, but at this point, you are done with yours.
I feel the need to be more precise than the above description for those who will inevitably point this out ;) When you place your sawboard on the line you wish to cut, anything that is visible to you will be considered the "waste" pieces. If you have to have your cut INCLUDE your pencil line, you'll need to place the sawboard ON that line so that it is not visible. Usually, most folks want that line to be the cutoff point, so would put the sawboard so that the edge of it rests ON the line. This way, when the cut is made, it removes the pencil line, and is at the proper measurement. This is to some a trivial detail, but for others, is vital. You can tell who these people are, as they'll undoubtedly be carrying a micrometer and several other obscure measuring devices in their pocket protectors, perhaps necessitating another pocket protector for pencils and the like ;) ;D

Drew, a search for one of these resulted in quite a few products that were *WICKED* expensive. I did find one link to a conversion gun for about a buck-n-a-half. Will this suffice for your recommendation?

Nope! You are not alone. Although... I must say that your's is the largest of the archives I have saved. I've been through it several times. :) I'm waiting for Bones to hurry up and get his done so I can add it to the list of great cabinet ideas. Of course, his will likely be larger than yours... err... zip file I mean. :o

Yeah, those work, but I'm almost positive.....wait, firstly, do you live in the States, or overseas (from me)? While you reply, I'm on Google looking for the one I saw that includes the turbine and whatnot...OR, alternatively, it's loud as hell, but the Wagner HVLP will work for this purpose and it's full price is only about $60 bones.
DrewKaree:
OK, this ain't the one I just saw, and Menards had them on sale for $50 but they don't have a "store" online, just a place to buy gift cards and replica cars ::)
Here's one that's SIMILAR to what I saw, but this is more expensive than the one I saw. Here's the link to the one I'm picturing.

For an even wider selection, here's harbor freight's selection of HVLP's, and their prices are cheap enough on these to warrant "testing" 'em out. Halfway down that page they've got a $50 version that may work quite well. If you've got a compressor though, just pick up an HVLP gun....no sense in fiddling with stuff you have to have MORE room to store it in.

I seem to remember Campbell Hausfeld selling a cheap-ish $200 version with a turbine and everything, but can't find anything other than the "pro-model" versions they have now.
