He pulls the band saw over close to the bench and sets the casters on both so that neither can move. He pops the box (which is tall enough to make the box surface and band saw table coplanar) on the bench and locks it in with a vise. That provides a fixed pivot for the saw. | |

I might not have made my jig particularly well, since i was under pressure from the frigidity 6 year old to hurry up and help him get his Christmas presents made. I'd still prefer that to the table saw, though. | |
