What You'll Need to Supply

To keep costs down, we don't supply parts that are either cheaper for you to get yourself or cost too much to ship. Here's what you'll need:

• 1 sheet of 4' x 8' x 3/4" plywood
• 1 2x4 x 8'
• 1 2x6 x 8'
• 1 piece of 2' x 4' x 1/2" plywood or OSB remnant (may have to buy a new sheet)
• 6 Door Hinges (We did not include them because you can buy them at Home Depot for less than we could buy them for)
• DeWalt DW or DWE 575 circular saw (does not work with any other saw).
• Porter Cable 690 fixed base router (Optional, several other routers fit the Swap Saw™ carriage)
