The Art of Box Making

Perfect cuts every time.

You can use that same method except angle the blade on your saw for your 45* cuts. Then cut the pieces to length.

That aluminum guide only cost a few bucks at Lowes. The pair of clamps were like $20. They're well worth the money.

What is the official name of that piece? Just ''aluminum saw guide''?

Something like that. I bought them at Lowe's. You get two of those aluminum guides and a connecting piece for like $17. There located in the tool section along with other guides, straight edges, and table saw attachments.

Rent out a place //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif It's really nice having a shop, and really not that expensive.

what are the better saw blades to use for the circle saws?

Harbor freight also has those guides.They actually have ones that clamp down themsleves, rather then needing the clamps.

i cant wait to start building again now that college is out!! so stoked lol...

also its always good to have not only a table saw but a circular saw so when it comes time to make the first cut you can cut the big *** piece of mdf in half (or where ever) and work with that

Cool, you just can't beat making enclosures //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

I might even invest in a panel-saw like at home depot for this new shop //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif...should really make things easy as pie and wont take up jack for space since its just on the wall.
