slots in it to guide your saw?
They work best with a stiff backed saw. They do become increasingly inaccurate
because the saw tends to erode the edges of the cuts.

Go for something much smaller. a Twice the thickness of the plywood and maybe a

You've gotten good advice so far. One thing you could try for locating

plywood. Then, from underneath, stick some lines of tape on the plywood
on either side of the joists. Then flip the plywood over end over end,

Make your first joist 15 3/4, then your edges of plywood at 4 foot, or 8
