I am about ready to begin constructing my roadbed using a 1/2 inch plywood base for scenery and roadbed (the layout will be 9'x14') My question is what do you think is the best (and easist) method to cut the roadbed. I have Linn Westcott's book on benchwork, but it doesn't really cover how to cut large size plywood tops (by yourself) that are then joined together. Also I can't seem to decide if I have to attach the flat tops first using risers and then crawl on top on my knees to cut the roadbed, or try to do it in sections on another surface that is lower (and easier on the old body). I am confident my benchwork frame will hold me (at 200 lbs). The only way I can complete the layout top is with two 5x7'1/2" plywood sheets through the door. Is their a better way? Any advice is appreciated. John
