on-the-job training on how to build a Yurt

[Bob Rowlands]

I have to retract my 'go for it' approach. I should have addressed tablesaw/miterbox safety in my first post. Any newb that is considering using power saws to do the work, and is really unfamiliar with power saws, should take their safety into consideration. The smart approach is to ask the friend that has the saws, to help you make your cuts. You can work a trade with him, or pay him. I've been working with power tools for decades. Telling a newb to borrow a saw' and Just go for it.' is poor advice, considering the danger involved.
