Well a start anyway. Got all but three planks ripped down to 1x4'' by maybe 5' long. Started to remove the T & G edges. Back at the old Pole Barn Shop, this was easy to do, just set up the table-saw and rip away. Now? Well, I guess we might be having a bit of a Barny

 

Stanley #31 and a Corsair C-5 Scrub Jack and plane away.  Lots of shavings to rest my tired feet on, too. Corsair runs along the tongue parts, until a wide shaving appears, the #31 takes over and joints the edges straight. Might be worth the trouble, if the boards all look like this when I'm done

 

 

If the #31 gets to be a might big, we have others awaiting their turn

 

 

All Stanleys. L-R: #31 , a #5-1/2, a #5, and a #5-1/4. Note the pile of shavings? I plan to have all the edges jointed straight, and then work over the faces. Hope these all turn out ok..

Great looking arsenal there, Steven. Good looking wood, too. If those nice long curlys are any indication, that's gonna be some pretty stuff.

Looks like the troops are all eager to jump in!
