: My western redwood is 12' x 2" x 6" I intend to cut my strips on a

: how one person could do this safely let alone keep the strips stright.
: Will you guy's hilp me?

A helper is always nice, find a buddy or a neighbor.

I would modify the bandsaw table slightly. A larger table (in/out feed extensions) a long (6-8') straight 2x4 for a long fence (this really will help a lot) and a couple of feather boards to hold the stock up tight to the fence.

The only other tip I have is if you have a resaw blade use it, you'll get a better cut.
