Cut plywood with a circular saw
Circular saws can be intimidating if you have never used one before. Here are some posts I wrote on my journey to learning to cut plywood with a circular saw (which was previously a tool that scared me).
Cutting plywood post 1 (options for cutting surfaces, info on straight edge jigs)
Cutting plywood post 2 (assembling straight edge jigs)
Cutting plywood post 3 (the set-up I used, how it went, mistakes to avoid)

There is this iPhone/iPad app called “Smart Cutter” that runs an optimization algorithm to find the maximum number of small pieces cut from a larger sheet of paper with minimum scrap.
Here is a video about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8_mrmqaBXk
The app can be found here: http://www.smartcutterapp.com
I really hope that this comes out in the Droid Market, if it isn’t already! I’ll have to check…
There are a couple of more cut optimization apps specifically geared towards carpenters and woodworkers the are:
Carpenter Pro: For multiple plywood stock sheets with wood grain control capability & kerf allowance:
Carpenter Cut: For single plywood stock sheet with kerf allowance:
Both work for iPhone & iPad.
