Not only did they have one rough side, they weren't all exactly 96" long. This mattered because of the geometry of the layout, a longer board meant the next rank started in a different position. The length of the board had a direct effect on the spacing of next rank of boards. So I setup an infeed table from one of the 10 footers and a stop block and cut them all to the same length. I tried to cut several at a time with mixed success. The saw motor bottomed out on the stack before the blade cut through the bottom board completely. It was a minor inconvenience.








You can see in the wide shot how my workflow went from left to right, from stack to saw to stand.
