"Let's start by marking off our wood. I am going to measure 2 1/2 inches from the end. Measuring 2 1/2 inches and draw a line right there. And then place it into our miter box with the line lined up at our, at the center. And just put the saw in the guide to make sure that you're in place. And now I'm going to draw a line right on the miter box like that so that every time we cut a piece, we can just shift it up to that line. And all our pieces will be the same size. And you can, this has a little clamp here. Now you just shift the next piece of wood up to the line that we drew, clamp it in place and saw the next piece. We'll need to cut six pieces 2 1/2 inches. So cut all your pieces."
