Breakdown

Last night I broke down the boards along my chalk lines and ended up with a much more manageable stack:

And a bunch of cutoffs that are too narrow to do anything with, so I trimmed them down to fit in our yard waste bin (hopefully they get turned into something useful!):

As a woodworker there’s an ingrained impulse to keep offcuts like this forever. I went through that phase early in my hobby and after not using really any of them over the course of several years of collecting, I finally broke the habit! I’ll keep around a couple of the larger ones just in case I need to test a cut or as backing for the drill, but the rest of them gotta go!

I also set up a temporary miter station to cut the boards to length, as they’re too long and heavy to maneuver onto the table saw:
