2. Adjust table saw rip fence so that it measures 5 ½?
from the fence to the inside of the saw blade.
3. Rip the 1" X 12"
4. On the side that measures 5 ½", measure and mark it

½" wide, if not use the planer to shave off the excess wood.
( Make sure that you use a test piece of wood on the planer before
you plane your piece of redwood).
6. Mark out 22" on this piece and cut it with the radial arm
saw.
7. Mark out 4 7/8" on your piece of wood leftover and cut it
with the radial arm saw.
