Table Saws and track saws are very expensive, but don't worry. Today, I'm going to show you how I built a simple jig out of plywood and a circular saw that removes the need for a the big power tools. It's a cheap, easy project that will give you a DIY track saw/crosscut saw for a fraction of the price of the bigger ones! Not only that, this one tool challenge is going to show you how you can do it using JUST ONE TOOL.
Oh and for added benefit, I'm going to give you four tips for woodworking to improve your circular saw use!
