Summary

This week was a multi-day lesson in the process of taking rough cut lumber straight from the lumber yard and cutting it down to rough length and then taking it through the processes of getting it down to the dimensions you need to make whatever it is you are making.  Like the examples for this week were 35 10 ft. pieces of trim to go around the inside of windows to trim them out.  As well as pieces that were specifically measured out to make the face frames for a set of cabinetry to hide the layers of plywood from view.
