I buy 4x8 sheets of BB and have the local hardware store cut them into 23x48 sheets for me. (unless I need sides, then 24x48). This means all of my panels are already the correct width. I just have a stack of 23x48's laying on my floor (maybe dewarping?)
I just accidentally cut a baffle in a rhombus shape, rather than a trapezoid, then cut another 2in short for some reason (probably the beer), and also had to recut a mounting ring
^^^there goes a 23 x 52" piece of wood lol.I'm doing 2 of them and i havent wasted a piece of wood or made a bad cut on this build.Marking the width's works for me but i also mark the angle to be cut on the side so when i place the wood on the saw there is no doubt as to which way my angle should be.
I mark the angle on the side as well, but that doesn't protect against an absent minded sawblade
