That time I tried to make a 'quick' plywood jig for a weird angle

I had to cut a 22-degree bevel on a bunch of short pieces for a built-in. Thought I'd save time by making a simple plywood guide block for my circular saw. I spent an hour getting the angle perfect, but when I clamped it to the first board, the whole thing flexed and the cut came out wavy. The lesson was clear: a jig made from a single layer of 1/2 inch plywood is just too flimsy for a precise cut. I should have used MDF or doubled up the plywood from the start. Has anyone else had a jig fail in a silly way because the material wasn't stiff enough?

I get flooded with emails every day. At first, the filter was messy. Now it sorts things perfectly. It learned from my corrections. This tech is sneaking into daily life.
