Fasten one guide assembly to the front of the sawbox only with glue and a single screw. Now, using a carpenter's square, swivel the guide rail until it's exactly 90° to the front of the box and secure it with a second screw into the top of the box back. To position the second guide rail, put the plywood spacer on top and the other guide assembly loose underneath. Adjust the guide tight to the spacer. Glue and screw it down. Now you're ready to make your first cut, which will also make the slots through the box's front and back members. Position the edge of the material to be cut tight against the box front and hold it steady with your free hand.
