Kentucky 4 Board Fence Install...Faceboards
What happens here
The presenter marks a 45-inch measurement on the top board of the stack and uses a speed square to draw a straight line. He then uses his Stihl MSA 140 C cordless chainsaw to cut through the entire stack of boards at the marked line. He reiterates the importance of ensuring the boards are flush on one end before cutting to maintain accuracy. He repeats this process to create multiple stacks of 45-inch face boards, explaining that this method saves time and ensures uniformity.
Goal: Cut multiple face boards to a consistent length
