I put them on a floor or on the driveway on top of 2x4's placed so I'm
not cutting through the 2x4's. The blade depth is set so the saw teeth
just show through the plywood. That way curves can be cut.

i was thinking of placing them on SUV tyres which should provide
enough clearance for the circular saw. would the weight be sufficient
of will i have to clamp it somehow.

i guess ill get some saw horses for the smaller section. but it seems
to me tyres will be more stable and its not as far off the ground, so
the cutoffs are supported as they come off.


thanks

Lay down a styrofoam sheet on the floor, say 1-1/2" thick, then lay plywood
on top.

Piece of cake.

Then chase a ga-zillion little white bubbles all over the neighbourhood ;-)

Closed cell foam is way better, and can be used more than once.

What ever floats your boat.

Furring strips are a LOT cheaper than closed cell foam.

I think that's what's called 1x3 spruce strapping in this area.
When the plywood is cut it can be used for gunwales and frames.
I have two layers of it for the gunwales on the Dogskiff (photos on my
website).

===============================================

Furring strips are rough cut pine and available here in the states as
either 1x2 or 1x3. They are dirt cheap.
