I'm trying to think through the best method to straighten 8ft or longer 2x lumber. I was originally going to build a sled (like a tapering jig) but think an 8ft long sled for this may be too large for me to work with. I then thought that I could just use a circular saw with an edge guide, which would wokr fine. I then saw a video last night where someone mimicked the "joint on a router" methods I've seen with a table saw by cutting an 1/8" strip out of a portion of the edge of a board and then using that as a sacrificial fence so that the part of the board behind the saw blade is 1/8" wider than the portion in front of the blade.
This last method seems to be the easiest method but I haven't seen any discussions online comparing the methods for straightening longer pieces so wanted to see if anyone had suggestions for considerations I should factor into my decision.
Thanks in advance for any comments!
