@jcoll83 [[lat3llc]] did a video of that method. I noticed that the method shown by AskTheBuilder will work in more situations, but I also see why a speed square is nice when the wood you're using is sure to be within a certain size range (and you're cutting 90 degrees.)

Except for the Ask the Builder guy, you're all idiots. Let's say you need to "rip" a straight line, say about 6/8 feet. Using a pencil mark will invariably end up wavy. The way to do it is to clamp down another long piece of wood, let's say a 2 x4, place it the amount of inches in from the edge. Use a clamp at both ends, now you can run your saw along the edge of that board and IF you measured correctly, your cut will be perfect. Alice Crawford, aged 76 and I sew too!

Thank you!! This video just put an end to YEARS of frustration for me!! I used to always try my best to keep the saw on the line, but simply didn't have enough arm strength or eye/hand co-ordination to keep the saw where it belonged and I'd always end up disgusted with my results. Now I can't wait to use the saw because I know my cuts will be straight. This is great stuff!!

Thank you!! I knew there had to be a simple way to do this. Yes, I'm a novice. This was exactly what I was looking for.

@tigertruckerman I think so. I'll have to look in my file folder marked "Aliases".

can you say "miter box"?

That is indeed a great way, but what about the people who can't afford to buy one? This video just shows one way to do it using common inexpensive tools many people might already own.
