Fellow Lumberjocks I have a question, I have a liquor cabinet I am building which is the first furniture piece I have started in which well honestly I am truly focused on all parts on my project being square and true. My problem is that I need to square up board that are 12” wide and 40” long, my usual method is to use a shooting board but with the shop I have and work space I am looking for other methods for the larger boards. Any suggestions? I have a miter saw but it is not a sliding saw and will fit a board that large. -- two men walk into a bar the third one ducks, which are you?? |

Updated: Using my 12” MS I have successfully flipped the board to get a complete cut. Sometimes with batter precision than others. When I do this I take the time to set the 90 using a large square in BOTH dimensions FIRST. Yes, it takes practice but it can be done. Before: -- HorizontalMike -- "Woodpeckers understand..." |

you could use a square as a guide for a skill saw. If you don’t think you can hold the square solid enough, clamp it. The other option is a square with a hand saw. I’m more accurate with option one, but you may be different. -- There is nothing like the sound of a well tuned hand plane. - http://timetestedtools.wordpress.com (timetestedtools at hotmail dot c0m) |

I don’t have a router, I know should have been a early purchase, I did wonder about just a straight edge and circular saw with clean up with a block plane. Horizontal my table saw is not square I have been messing with it since I got is and so my sled is not the route I want to do on the project. -- two men walk into a bar the third one ducks, which are you?? |

I kinda thought I would go some route with a straight edge or square. I like the idea of a skill saw thanks Don -- two men walk into a bar the third one ducks, which are you?? |

The way Don explains it is how i cross cut all the large board in my shop. I hold the framing square againt the board and let the edge of my circular saw run against it.

I got this from HF to use with my circular saw and it works as good as the Bora clamps like it that I have used.
