''Future Workdays''


* Saturday the 7th of Feb (2/7/26) - The agenda would be to try to continue to mill down our 2x6s and do a batch of them. I would like to try to skip jointing the first face and just try to thickness plane the boards.  i think this may save us a bit of time if it gives us reasonable results.

* 1/10/26 - Aimed to test our process for dimensioning the raw lumber into square usable boards.  After minimal experimentation it was clear that using a pretty standard approach of facing a board on the jointer, then thickness planing on the planer is going to work for us. after that, using the faced surface as a reference, we could joint another side of the board to a square corner. finally we ripped the board to the correct width using this edge against the fence. we ended up with a 1.25"x 4.5" x 96" board that was very (if not perfectly) square. definitely looked good enough for a glue up.
