True up small piece of wood
 

I want to mount this piece of plywood in such a way that it is reasonable removable.

I first need to true up the edges of the wood and that is difficult because of it's small size.

I have a table saw, circular saw, and reciprocating saw.

I would like to avoid the table saw because of its weight and bulk.

How can I true up the wood?

Maybe a sanding block like this:

Small size???? Looks to be 12x24 or thereabouts...

Why would you not use the obvious tool for the job--the TS.
Clean up one long edge(*) then the other to get even width and then
crosscut to length.

(*) The near edge looks reasonably straight other than been butchered w/
some dull tool; the jigsaw perhaps? Start w/ it against the fence, then
reverse edges.

Wanted to avoid the TS because it is not mounted.

Dragging that 50+ pound anchor is not good on my back and neck.

I plan on putting castors on it as a future project.

With the table saw. No other tool you own will do as good a job, as
easily , quickly, and safely, as the table saw with a good fence and a
good miter slide. A sled would be even better, but not a REQUIREMENT

How thick is the plywood ? the photo doesn't show that.
1/4 can be cut with a few heavy strokes
on each side with a razor knife. finish up with sandpaper.
Thicker - cut to size with your favourite saw
and finish up with sanding.
An old-timey "craftsman " would use his handsaw -
and it wouldn't require any more true-up.

A sled is certainly the way to go with small pieces and if you ever
think you will do it again, ever, make a nice sled with locking clamps
on it. The 20 minutes you take making the sled will be paid back a
thousand times my the fingers you don't lose and the work you can
accomplish.

If you don't need "perfection" use it as it is. Before table says
they had huge circular saws run off a line-shaft. Before that they had
"pit saws" - and craftesmen who knew how to do things precisely with
hand saws and planes.

Get yourself a set of japanese saws, a square and a pencil.

My dad would've probably clamped his square to the wood at the

would've been maybe 3" or so from where he wanted to cut.
