When doing the closet, I need to cut a 16" x 96" from a 4x8 3/4 plywood....
as this is a big piece of wood from a big piece of wood... I am figuring whether I should use a circular saw or table saw to make the cut.... knowing that table saw can do a better straight cut... but such a big/heavy piece to move along table saw would be difficult... circular saw is easy to manipulate but may not be able to make an as good straight cut as table saw...
anyone can share which is the best way to do it or any tips in achieveing the best result... thanks...
although I am doing everything myself so far... but considering ask my wife to help on this one, ask her to hold the big piece on one end when we going through the table saw thing... it noise/dust will sure scare a hell out of her though...
also once the piece is cut, I know I need to sand it and prime it then paint over it(white), now these are the questions:
- can I prime it with the left over primer which I use to prime the drywall, or need to use different type of primer for wood.
- when I sand, do I sand the surface or I only need to sand the edge
- after sanding, do I put drywall mud on the edge to hide those wood texture or do I put drywall mud all over before priming
thanks for answering these additional questions, as you probably figure... this is my first time doing furnitures stuff... (If I don't count those unofficial ones in the past)... want to do everything right...
