I was sawing a piece of plywood off the back of my van and didn’t have a sawhorse or an extra hand to support the cut piece. I put my framing square under the cut piece and on top of the other side. That was enough to keep the cut piece level with the other piece and allow me to finish the cut without binding the blade or damaging the plywood.
-
Without a support under it the cut piece sags and can cause the blade to bind or the wood to crack.
-
Putting a framing square under the cut piece holds it up and allows an easy cut through the rest of the plywood.

I've never been good with sawing things in my opinion so while I've got a lot of that sort of thing in storage, I tend to call my mate over to help me out with it less I ruin the matierials I've bought or screw up the saw horse in my enthusiasm to saw through things haha! At the end of the day, I've got the tools, but not a lot of knowhow so I guess it might be time for me to start googling more tutorial videos for that sort of thing hey?
