Oh @#(*$%(!!!!

I wondered why nobody at the maker space answered what I thought was a
fairly routine question.

Both lists are called discuss.

So now I come across a problem that nobody in the tardis-building
community has (yet) come to a good answer to, how to trim the posts
down to exact size.

They are 8' long ( a bit longer actually, that being the problem) and
made of 4 planks of 5 1/2 x 3/4 pine.  So they are heavy. Its at the
limit of a one person lift and certainly too big to handle on a table
saw.

Chop saw? Well too big for my 12" chop saw and a slide does not help here.


I am thinking I probably need to make a jig and use a circular saw.
