I am in the process of replacing the edging of our raised beds in the garden. I have bought some new oak sleepers, but decided that wood half the width would be fine to retain the soil. Therefore I am planning to rip the 100x200 sleepers down to 50x200 on my bandsaw. Following advice about ripping on the bandsaw I am going to try kerfing them first with a circular saw so the cuts don’t wander too much.
The sleepers are 3m long so are quite heavy and the bandsaw only has a relatively small table on it, so I was wondering about buying some roller stands. So the questions are:
1) is this a sensible approach in principle or is there a better way of achieving the aim?
2) Are there any recommendations for roller stands which will be used occasionally, so not worth spending a fortune on?
Thanks
Mark
