Handling and cutting a full sheet of plywood -- or any sheet material -- can be a challenge in a one-person shop. To make your woodworking life a little easier, Nick has developed four simple fixtures and combined them in a ingenious system for managing sheet materials. Used together, these shop-built tools allow you to move, position, and make amazingly accurate cuts in plywood, particleboard, and other sheet goods.

And because we know you will be asking, Nick's co-star in this video is Bella, our shop-dog-in-training. She's a one-year-old short-haired "red" border collie/kelpie cross, and a handful.

Plans for these incredibly useful jigs and fixtures, including measurements in both inches and millimeters, can be found at the Workshop Companion General Store at https://workshopcompanionstore.com/pr... .
