Default Anyone got a woodshop?

I'm lookin to build a simple stand out of 3/4 ply. Problem is I don't have decent table saw anymore. I know home depot etc do "rough cuts" but that usually means within 1/4" not quite precise enough. Or anyone know of a shop that will do cuts? Ill pay anyone who can help me out of course, frags, cash, beer... Whatever ya like.

Just need the cuts, assemble I got covered.

Really, only to 1/4" ? FWIW, that's not been my experience with Home Depot. I just give them the measurements and they cut it on that wicked cool sideways table saw (enormous) in the back. I've even brought in wood I didn't buy at the store, although I think I had to pay $1 per cut or something like that.

Something you might want to look into closer if you can't find someone with a table saw. Too bad Kari moved away, he was up in your neck of the woods, and was the total DIY/acrylic/woodworking/reeftank guru. But he went and moved to the great lakes on us!!

Ya I've got stuff cut there, its more or less a disclaimer. They don't want to be responsible for off measures. Only time I've gotten good cuts at home depot was when I finally convinced him to let me use the cabinet saw myself. Totem will do accurate cuts if its not busy. Other problem is there blades rarely get sharpened and are usually cheapo ripping blades. Was hopin for someone with a half decent table and atleast a combo blade lol, nooo I'm not picky. Should tell this Kari to smarten up n move back, lakes? Pfffft, we got wheat!

If you are down in the SW Shawnessey, you are more than welcome to borrow my table saw. It isn't a great one but with a little setup, it cuts pretty good. Bought it at a garage sale for real cheap..
