I would really like to have a panel saw at home but they are costly.
Has anybody seen plans? I don't need fancy, just to straight cut 4x8s
of ply and such. The table saw method is unwieldy and I have some
projects that will use a lot of ply pieces. The first project is
cabinets along the long wall in the garage.

Several Wreckers have posted plans over the years. DAGS, while Google
still indexes the Wreck.

I saw "Information Overload" from Google. I'm sure someone has already
weeded out non-contenders. Two schools of thought: Follow the path or
start from an unpolluted mind. Or, buy a used saw that falls into my
lap from Craig's List or such. (I guess that's three schools of thought...)
