My Proven System For Cutting Plywood With A Circular Saw

All professional carpenters develop simple, dependable systems for efficiently doing repetitive tasks. That's part of what makes them a professional. In this video I show the system I've used for many years to cut plywood sheets (large and small) on the jobsite, and in my workshop. And here are some helpful show notes to go with this video presentation... Check out this YouTube video in which Tom Silva shows how to make a cutting guide pretty much just like the one I use in this video.:    • How to Make a Circular Saw Guide | This Ol...   Tom's use of hot-melt glue to make the guide is NOT a good idea in my opinion. Use yellow glue and weight the two pieces until the glue dries. Here's an Amazon link to the Model #6201Hanson 7" self-adjusting locking C-clamp pliers with swivel jaws that I show in this video: https://amzn.to/2JHpVHF HOWEVER, you'll notice that the pliers are quite expensive. Too expensive, in my opinion. I bought three pair in 2012 for $16.38 each. Then, when I saw how useful they were, I bought a couple more for the same price. I think the price is now so much more because CH Hanson has apparently stopped making them. I can't find the #6201 clamps in their current catalog. Other companies make similar-looking pliers, but some of them are NOT self-adjusting, which is a GREAT feature. Also, some of them don't have the easy-to-use unlocking lever that I show in this video. They have an unlocking lever like found on the typical Vise-Grip pliers. The good news is that I was able to find the Hanson 6201 pliers at www.ToolDiscounter.com for only $13.99 each. A great price! I bought a couple more for myself. How long ToolDiscounter will be selling this item if it truly has been discontinued? I sure don't know. Here's the link: http://www.tooldiscounter.com/ItemDis...
