Once during my "mad scientist" years we needed to make a large quantity of open boxes about 3 inches wide X 3 inches deep and 3 feet long out of 1/4" plywood. They were to hold hundreds of small packets of experimental seed corn on end and sit in racks on a specially built corn planter for planting tiny plots.
Two of my younger coworkers had never used a Skilsaw type saw before and they had cut up several sheets of plywood. They had so much trouble cutting it that at times they were a full quarter inch off of the line. :D After seeing their cuts I cut the next sheet for them and they were flabbergasted that I could make a cut and then they could not find any of the line. They quickly voted me as the official saw operator. :)
They had also never considered cutting more than one sheet at a time.
