Making straight cuts in plywood is super easy when you have a straight edge to guide your saw. 

There’s no need to buy an expensive guide when you can easily make your own. Let me show you how I made mine.

You'll want to consider:

- Wood thickness based on your saw's blade size.

- Overall width of both boards based on your saw's shoe plate size and room to clamp the guide onto the board to be cut.

- Height of guide board based on your saw's vertical shoe plate and how you use your saw.

Get all of your measurements, then make the two cuts, with the factory edge of your plywood reserved for the guide's straight edge board on top.

Once you do the glue up, then trim off the excess of the base board.

This ensures that both the guide and the base board are perfectly parallel.
