No table saw? Build a $15 Sawboard for your small budget project!
johnm160:
Well I broke down and made some sawboards today. An 8', 4' and 1' and they work great.
I made the guide portion a little wider since my saw seems to have a rather large motor.
Thanks Drew, now maybe I can cut straight :o

I made one of these to help me trim the damaged bottom edge off of a Reactor cabinet. It worked perfectly and has put my table saw purchase on the backburner, for now at least. ;) I have pics if anyone is interested. Thanks for the great idea.

I just made one of these today. Awesome idea and instructions. I used 1/2" MDF but I think I should have used 3/4". I'm a total woodworking newb, and I think the 3/4" would have been easier. With the 1/2", I had to use 3/4" screws, because the 1" would have poked through the bottom. I screwed up (*snicker*), and had to redo all my holes, but I finally got it together and it looks like it should work. I may remake it after a few uses.
fixedpigs:
next time use no screws...
wood glue will provide a strong enough bond...
you just have to make sure that no glue squeezes out onto the surface your saw will be on...
clockwork:
I probably will, but what kind of glue? Is just the normal wood glue (I have some Titebond(?) at home) okay? It'd take quite a bit to glue an 8' sawboard, which I plan to build next.
