Cutting Plywood Components

video now to get started for this project I went down to my local Home Depot and I picked up a couple of sheets of the 4x8 and the red oak uh the sheets are roughly about 49 bucks a piece now they're so big to put on a table saw to actually run them safely and accurately so what I like to do is break them down at least in halfes uh I use a tracks saww like you see here it makes it super easy and you know tear out free but if you don't own a tracks saww what you can always do is just clamp down like a piece of trim like a 1x two 1x3 and then use your skill saw preferably with a nice high tooth count skill saw blade so you don't do you know a whole bunch of tear outs and then just cut it in half and then you can start working on your table saw all right little Pro tip when working with cabinet grade finished hardwood veneer plywood so in my situation I'm working with a white oak uh that stuff is super super super flaky on top if you're not careful so three things that will help you have the crisp cut is number one brand new blade specifically something like like a higher tooth count blade so doesn't have to be brand new but at least a decent blade that has the high tooth count 60 teeth just fine number two go slow slower you go the better it cuts less tear outs happen and number three one of my favorite tips when working with flaky stuff is lay down some painters tape you know some uh like a the blue 3M whatever lay down on top and if it need be lay down on the bottom doesn't matter but that will TR tremendously improve your ability to create a nice crisp cut without tearing out that expensive expensive stuff the the two pieces that I'm doing for the sides they are 16 in wide by 48 in tall the back piece is 15 and 1/4 in by 48 in tall and then the top and bottom piece they are 14 1/2 by 15 and [Music] 1/4 y [Music] yeah so the method of mounting the
