I make most of my things from 2x8x8' SYP. I do this by cutting 2x8s to the lengths I'll need, then ripping to the correct width, then resawing to the correct thickness (if necessary). I also plane the bandsaw marks from resawn lumber and to guarantee all pieces are the same thickness.

All frame lumber (2x8s) on the work bench (except the 3/4" plywood). |
|
Cutting 2x8s down to length. |

Frame pieces cut to length. |

My sizing operation. The workbench is the same height as the saw's table. |
|
Ripping 2x8s into 2x3s and 2x2s. Note the outfeed table. |
|
Complete set of all the main box rips, stacked on the table saw's outfeed table, ready to mark and resaw. |

Marking 2x to be resawn into 1xs. |

Closer look at resaw mark. |
|
Resawing a 2x into a 1x. Thats a Jet JWBS-14DXPRO saw and a TimberWolf 3/4" 3TPI blade. The resaw guide is one I built. |
|
Closer look at the resawing. Note sawing right down the center the two halves should be equal thickness. |
|
After resawing I run the pieces through the planer to remove the badsaw marks an make each piece the exact same thickness. Resawing a 2x in half and planing leaves 11/16" thick lumber instead of 3/4" (1X pieces). |

Lumber resawn into 1x2s and 1x3s. |
