If you’re using a handsaw and find that a board you have just cut is 1/16 in. or 1/8 in. too long, here’s a way to re-cut the board without making a mess of things. Find another board the same width and clamp it over the top of the board you want to trim. Then mark the cut line on the top board and make the cut. The kerf of the top board will keep the saw in line for a perfect cut below it.
