Need some advice /diy/, and my apologies if this is a stupid question.

So I'm building a stand for our new front end loading washing machine. I have the frame built from 2x4s, but now I need to cut the plywood for the sides and top. Problem is, I don't have a table saw. I do have a circular saw, a jig saw, and a hand saw.

I need some advice on how best to go about cutting the 4' x 8' plywood into smaller pieces (10" x 28" and 28"x28").

okay, i hadn't thought of that. so I can line up a straight edge against my line held in place with clamps?

it's my first project and I don't want to screw up and have to go buy more lumber

>my line held in place with clamps?
what line?
measure the width of the foot from blade to edge of the saw
add to your cut size
line up 2x4 or anything straight along 'cut'
clamp it at both ends

Read his post. Its a front loader. Reaching into those things sucks so you raise it up a bit.
