I'm looking at building a side stand to support the extra length of the

Human helper. *Cost = 1 case beer.

That tends to need to scratch his noise at the worst possible, about
half way through the cut, or gets distracted by the bug on the wall and
watches it and lets the board bind in the saw.

The helper's job is to support the weight of the board,
not steer it. Supporting the weight of a shelf standard
only takes one hand. He can pick his nose or drink a
beer with the other.
