I need a woodworker in Overland Park

[Halfathumb]

Jim, hope you are doing well.  If you go with the Empire style clamp,  consider making a sled for your circular saw -  i did with a cordless saw and it worked great.    I just searched to see if I could find a site showing construction, but came up empty,  but it is very simple to make, and the saw just sits in the sled, so it won't wander at all in making the cut.  If you are interested, let me know, and I will take photos of the one I made.

Barry, The Empire guide worked great! Thanks for the idea. Got the job done.

Jim
