very impressed,great wormanship..cant wait to see the finish product....nice pictures... how much do those circuler bench saw,s cost?  i might be better of getting 1.... it would save me alot of time and hassle making trips to the cutting merchant...and it will come handy for other projects...saul mentioned somthing about festool is that a brand of circuler saw ?....i,m only familiar with automotive tools like snap on,mack,britool,,,,or could i use the hand held circuler saw those are quite cheap..saw them in wickes when i went to enquire about the plywood? thanks

a hand held circular saw would do the job, though achieving some of the angled cuts is alot easier with the table saw.

you will find once you get going that things progress quickly. i only started on my scoops on Monday night, been working on them a couple of hours a day.

hi lostgraycat i was comparing price diffrences between the hand held saws and bench saws and thers not much diffrence in price really so it will be a bench saw ,,more versitile thanks for the tip .....just a matter of getting the saw and wood,screws,glue ect time comsuming,,i,ll be abe to only spend a few hours a day buiding due to work commitments and children ,,,but the key to a successful finish is patience,i,m not in no rush really as i have x2 scoops which are doing the job for now... lol and yes this is a very addictive and exspensive hobby or career to undertake  but i,ll get there slowly lol thanks guys for the support..

WTF? lol if tats all you got then id say youd be better trying to sand th angle than cutting it, and i wouldnt recommend sanding either...... check this out: http://srforums.prosoundweb.com/index.php/m/236035/25637/0///19929/#msg_236035 sorry marjan but your handiwork is pretty awesome.

thanks for that link boycey ,,wow thats hard to believe those cabs where cut and mitred just using a standard jigsaw,,seing is believing nice work and finish,,so it is possible depending on expertese on jigsaw skills....i,m very good with using a jigsaw as i,ve laminated my entire house my self and built small box,s with just a jigsaw when i was a teenager lol .. ...its proven and shown in boyceys link...very impressed....Has any body on forum built large scale box,s like shown in link with just using a jigsaw ? would be good to know regards bill..
