I HAVE A SYSTEM WHICH WAS SENT TO ME BY A GERMAN FRIEND SOME YEARS AGO.
IS AN ALUMINIUM STRUCTURE ABOUT 4.5 FEET LONG AND ABOUT 2 INCHES WIDE.
ON THE UNDER SIDE ARE TWO JAWS (ABOUT AN INCH HIGH)
IN USE ON CUTTING SHEETS OF PLY ETC IT IS PLACED JAWS DOWN, AND THE MOVING
JAW BUTS IT FIRM ACROSS THE WIDTH.
BY LIFTING A TOGGLE ON THE OTHER END, IT IS TIGHTENED AND HOLDS ITSELF IN
POSITION FOR MARKING OR CUTTING.

Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] cutting straight lines
Scott,
I bought something years ago that helped me tremendously in cutting straight
lines. It as made by Black & Decker. It was an 8 foot cutting guide that
split into two 4 feet sections for smaller work. It had an adjustable clamp
on each end that slid over the end of the stock you were cutting . The
power saw shoe would slide along the edge producing a nice straight cut.
Not sure if this is what you are looking for or for that matter if they
even still make such a thing
Al

Thanks, that is an interesting idea for sure. Unfortunately a hand saw
would take a bit with as hard as this stuff is, but your obviously
more of a man than I. grin You must have arms the size of most folks
legs to be cutting most of this stuff by hand. grin.
The piece of metal I have isn't a T, but it's kind of the same idea,
but I'll check into these, it might prove to be a better solution.
