What?!?! You gotta be jokin. At the Ace Hardware in the town closest to me, they got one guy that stands there all day long cuttin wood people bought there. FOR FREE. [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by SpaceMouse [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by masonjar You can get the lumber yard to rip it for you - the cuts will come out straight if they use the big wall mounted saw (name escapes me...). Get it cut into 4" strips. You can do the gussets and anything else you might need with a table saw, mitre saw, or whatever you have at home. Andrew [/quote] Thanks for the validation. I know the saw, but most places I know charge $.25 a cut after the first couple. Using a level and vice-grip type clamps and a good circular (I use a Skill 77 worm drive) You can cut what you need pretty quickly. It is so straight that I use this method that I used it for cabinet work. If you want to get really fancy there's a 4 foot clamp that just pops into place in second. Who's used steel. [/quote]
