Milling some salvaged cedar resulting in boards that are 6-12 inches wide where the customer wants the edge removed on one side. They are cut 2 inches thick. The side that is removed is likely to be the hidden side when the board is used for a shelf, but it seems to make sense to leave as nice of a surface as possible in case someone wants that side visible.
The logs are small so I don't think I want to square one side and then mill, but I guess I could try that on a bigger one and see how it works out.
I have a bunch to do.
I have a beam buddy, a table saw, a circular saw
What have you done that worked well? What did you use, how did you do it?
I am thinking some kind of jig with the beam buddy and a maybe trying out the electric chainsaw so I can do them at my house instead of having to do them somewhere else with a gas one. That said I haven't actually cut anything with the electric chainsaw yet... but it does advertise 4 peak hp and full wrap handle
