2. Cut three nice 1'-3 chunks out cutting around checks and knots.
3. Face joint, edge joint, plane all 3 down to 3/8 thick
4. Break down sacrifical fence setup and swap out dado blade for good rip blade on TS and rip all 3 to precise width.
5. Swap out rip blade for cross cut blade, get sled, trim one end, setup for 1'-1 3/4 cros cut. Do a test cut, adjust by 1/32 to get exactly what I want and cross cut all 3.
6. Do dry fit of one leg set frame.
7. Realize you cross cut them to 1'-0 3/4... exactly. Thank God you only cut panels for one of six units.
