That's definitely a good idea to use a skill saw to get rid of live edge I would probably do that and then once I have a flat edge rip boards out on a table saw.
Nice to work with what you had on hand. There is a cheap chainsaw vertical edge cutting tool that would do the job as well that is quite inexpensive. One needs to do what they can with what tools they have. Nothing wrong with saving all you can especially on a project that can be a bit more on the rustic side.
Interesting. Shows me what is possible. But also tells me I’ll be better off if I can reach my site with 120VAC, skip my battery saw, and use my 7-1/4” worm drive. BTW my mill is on a Husqvarna 385XP I bought in 2002. It’s fun learning new things.👍
Good video, thanks. I’m just getting set up, I’ve been doing a bit with a beam maker, just got a new saw and Alaskan. I’m going to try edging and 2x4 with the MS170 and a $10 full chisel UpStart Amazon chain, the thing rips like crazy. I made some benches with it, it won’t have a problem with 2 inch.
Looks great. I'd prefer to mill slabs and let them age first, then cut the dimensional boards months later, but you may be in more of a hurry than that :) I imagine that for a rough enough shed, completely green lumber just might be ok.
