I Built a $5,000 Mudroom for Under $1,700
What happens here
The first step in building the base cabinets is breaking down large sheets of plywood. The creator uses a Milescraft TrackSaw Guide attached to a Ryobi circular saw to make initial cuts on the full plywood sheets, making them more manageable. He notes that he doesn't have the ideal blade for plywood at the moment but proceeds carefully. After these initial cuts, the smaller pieces are transferred to a table saw for precise finishing cuts to achieve the exact dimensions required for the cabinet panels.
Goal: Cut large plywood sheets into manageable and precise pieces for cabinet construction
