Default sawing large plysheets

Subject

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.

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
