I'm a dumbass and sawed into my workbench.

ETA: Threw a maple spline into it to commemorate the occasion.

I use a foam insulation board as a cutting surface so I can safely cut into it.

My issue is that I always forget to account for the thickness of my DIY track saw guide, so I end up only cutting about two-thirds of the way through my piece.
