No scraps: is the [mysteriously un-named] SE Asian country you’re living in open to dumpster-diving? A lot of my scrap came from seeing a board lying on the side of the road, or seeing a construction dumpster (Aussies call it a ”skip”) in someone’s front yard, and seeing a few pieces of lumber sticking out. Legally, I **think** once something’s thrown away, it’s up for grabs.

Why 45 degrees both ways? — I’m just guessing (not having a shooting board, myself), but how about if you’re doing moulding or a picture frame, where it’s not practical to put the piece face-down? (I don’t know if I’ve said that clearly…)

I’m still reading (chronologically) your backlog of your blog — but it seems like using an (inexpensive) wooden chair as a sawhorse/sawbench — plus some clamps — would be the way to go…
