Thanks, Ed! Good eye on the board size: those were 12" wide x 39" long, and it
took ~1/2 hr for each resaw cut, working steadily. I have yet to try using one
of the GITs on the other end of the frame saw, so it was a solo operation.

I started using chalk marks on the face to note kerf depth where I stopped on
each edge, so I knew when to switch sides and start sawing from the opposite
edge. This helped keep things lined up, I think.
