Learn how to cut a perfectly straight edge on crooked boards with a simple fixture and portable tablesaw. The method I teach in this video is very useful for doing framing work on remodeling projects because it allows you to salvage crooked boards for non-typical framing or furring applications and save straight boards for places where you really need them.
