I think this photo west end of the sixth floor showing the flooring they 
did that morning (the boxes look neat, for one thing).

They put the sheets on the boxes, they have 4-5 guys working, one or two 
hold it, the other cuts. When cutting plywood (or any wood really) you 
have to let the piece you are cutting off hang with no support so you 
don`t bind your saw. If I was doing it, I`d use a chalk box to make a 
line, have one guy stand on the far side and hold it over the box and I 
would walk down the other side with the saw cutting on the line. It isn`t 
rocket science. 


Ralph Cinque:

What? How dare you? The description of that photo is:

"Photograph of boxes full of books inside the book depository where Lee Harvey Oswald worked."

It said nothing about it being the sixth floor, and I knew as soon as I saw it and before I read the blurb that it wasn't the sixth floor.


That is definitely not the sixth floor, and if you think it is, what corner is it?  

And, you don't use a chalk line to make a line on plywood. You use a pencil. That's because you need a dark line because the plywood is light. Plus, a pencil makes a much more reliable and stable mark than chalk which easily brushes off. 

Here's a guy ripping a piece of plywood the sensible way- with a table saw. Notice the dark line. That isn't from chalk. It's from a pencil.



I'm beginning to wonder whether you have ever cut plywood in your life.
