First thing I needed to do is rough cut the lengths of the boards to make them more manageable on the equipment and minimize waste. I will use the 10” miter saw to do this.



Being that it is only a 10” blade and it only cuts 5” I have to flip the board to cut all the way through



After making it a more manageable size I need to get a straight edge on one side of the board, for that I use a 6” jointer:




Now that I have 1 side straight, I can cut the width 1/16-1/8” over sized on the table saw (I’ll bring it to the proper size with the plainer)


After that I can square up 2 sides on the jointer:



Once 2 sides are square



I can run all the stock through the plainer to get the desired thickness (which in this case is ¾”) and width (which varies from ¾” to 2”) Which if you ask me is the most time consuming and monotonous task out of the entire build
