When cutting sheet materials – particleboard, MDF or whatever — I have to use my handheld circular saw on the floor of my one-car garage workshop. The knockdown cutting “platform” shown in the sketches above both raises and supports the sheet for the cut. I made the plywood brackets (that act like feet) so their top edges stick up 1/4″ to hold the sheet securely. When I’m done cutting, I take it all apart — no screws or fasteners — and hang it back on the wall.
