Laminate Plywood Strips for the Guide
At 0:00 in
We call this bad boy the third hand...
What happens here
The worker begins by selecting three identical pieces of scrap plywood strips. These strips should be straight and relatively free of defects to ensure the accuracy of the final guide. They apply a uniform layer of spray adhesive to one side of the first strip. This strip is then carefully aligned and pressed onto the second strip, ensuring edges are flush. This process is repeated: spray adhesive is applied to the top surface of the now-doubled strip, and the third strip is aligned and pressed on top. This lamination creates a thicker, more rigid straight edge that will serve as the guide for a circular saw's base plate. The worker firmly presses the layers together to ensure a strong, flat bond, then picks up the assembled laminated block.
Goal: Construct a thick, stable, and straight guide block.
