You can build a 4' jig (or any length for that matter) that was shown on a
public tv show a while back.
Use a thin but strong base like 3/8 plywood. About 8" wide and 4' long.
Screw a guide on it made out of a 1x1 (or so).
Mount the guide a couple inches from one side of the base and 4-5 inches
from the other side.
Run the circle saw against the guide and cut off any excess base that you
can. What you will have is a guide is custom taylored to your circle saw.
Just clamp it on the work along the cut line and run the saw along the 1x1
guide for a perfect cut.
