Table Saw

[foxgrrl]

Is there anyone near Mountain View, CA with a Table Saw that I could use? I don't want to have to buy one just to cut a few two-by-fours; Nor sign up for a communal workspace; Nor rent one for a day. Basically I want to make some wood smaller, and I don't want to spend money to do so.

She specifically asked for a table saw. This implies she wants to for example rip an 8 foot long 2x4 into an 8 foot long 2x3. It is quite difficult to make a cut that long with a hand saw and still keep it straight.

And oh, as for the suggestions involving lumber yards, they are set up to make cross cuts, not lengthwise ripping cuts.

Yeah, it'll be 48 linear feet of parallel cuts per board. And I'm planning on at least four of these. So that's 192 linear feet, or 2304 inches. Which is quite a lot to do by hand (and get straight).
