How do you cut the plywood to get that kind of bevel? Do you use a special
saw? I only have a 10" circular saw and a small hand held skil/jigsaw.

The bottom pieces of plywood are just strips that lay under the top
piece. No bevel to them at all. Top piece of plywood is 3/4" thick. The
bottom strip is also 3/4" material but only a few inches wide. Hold the
far edge in good contact with the floor. Start the bottom strip
slightly back from the threshold, pulling it farther back to raise the
top piece where it meets the threshold. We do this on porches where the
porch may be slanted relative to the threshold, so the strip is
installed at an angle to make up the difference.
If you needed a bevel, a block plane or belt sander would generate the
shallow angle fairly quickly. Yellow pine door shim material that comes
already cut in a wedge shape is available at any home center for about
$1 per package. This would work inside OK.
