    Squaring up MDF sheets

    So im a novice when it comes to woodwork but enjoy making things. I don't have the space or all the tools in my garage. Previously when buying MDF sheets I would use a spirit level and clamps to make a straight edge and then cut with my circular saw which was ok but a hassle. I then realised...
