Need help ripping some wood
Trying to finish the treehouse before frost sets in… I have some lengths of 2×6 cedar that I need to rip down the middle but I don’t have a table saw and I’m not confident enough to do it with my circ saw. Is there anyone in the South Slope area that has a saw setup? I imagine it would take about 20 minutes. thanks! Cipster

listen, you can do a pretty good job with a skill saw and a rip fence. you need the rip fence though. practice on a scrap piece and you will be fine. the hardest part is bracing the wood so it does not move when you are cutting. Steve
