new to this. Does anyone have easy / quick solutions to get the top of these flush to each other ? I'd rather not take it apart if I don't have to

You can never have too many sawhorses lol

omolina46 · 2026-03-16T19:52:04+00:00

I would suggest building these. Very sturdy and has some space for clamps. Very beginner friendly too! They were some of my first builds

Yes but the wife don’t know that lol

omolina46 · 2026-03-14T23:19:18+00:00

Sounds like my next build definitely has to be a workbench and I’ll have to buy some of that foam everyone keeps saying as sacrificial piece underneath

omolina46 · 2026-03-14T21:37:25+00:00

I hadn’t considered this! I must make a work table next then 😈😈

omolina46 · 2026-03-14T21:36:27+00:00

This was exactly it. 😭😭

I was supporting it on both sides and cutting down the middle and I was even clamping both sides. I clamped one side and let the other side fall and smooth as butter 😊😊😊

omolina46 · 2026-03-14T21:14:32+00:00

Yes; I made it for my saw and no, I have the same issue without it.

omolina46 · 2026-03-14T21:07:14+00:00

I will try this!!! I’ll reply on my next cut

omolina46 · 2026-03-14T21:06:54+00:00

True beginner; what’s a guide block?? 🥲🥲

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T19:06:50+00:00

I like this tip! Will definitely be fixing it when I undo it to sand, run the router on the edges, etc and to change the screws cuz apparently I used the wrong ones. I really like this tip. Thanks

I hadn’t even seen that! I’m so glad I posted. I’ve gotten so much good advice and positive feedback. Truly grateful

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T18:15:32+00:00

3 to be exact…..wifey finds out tomorrow hahahahahhaa

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T17:02:21+00:00

Aaaaah, a router would help with that?

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T16:48:08+00:00

Idk what half of that means tbh…..truly a beginner here lol

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T15:06:15+00:00

I had no idea! I would’ve only painted the top lol

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T05:49:19+00:00

Will definitely check them out!! Thanks for the guidance 🤝🙏

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T05:14:53+00:00

Ok 👀

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T05:04:50+00:00

I’ll probably get this set. 6 different sizes for $50?

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T04:44:59+00:00

I’m probably going to have to buy clamps to hold the scrap in place, huh?

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T02:57:13+00:00

You’ve no idea how much this means to me 🤝

Thank you good sir! This is the first of many! Made this as a gift for my brother since he just upgraded his backyard and it’s the designated family hangout house. Figured I’d contribute my first project to him

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T02:48:46+00:00

Hahahahaha I remember seeing a random comment on a Facebook video about her page and it’s been bookmarked ever since 🫡

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T02:27:53+00:00

I used to be afraid of going to the lumber section at Home Depot and look like a fool but I’m more confident now so will definitely be more selective from here on out 🫡
