To edge or not to edge is that a question?

I've decided to buy the edger, it was to good a deal to pass up. Now to design a saw shed and a work flow diagram to minimize board handling.

Good deal, glgdiggs! You won't regret it!

Tom has some diagrams on here somewhere, for optimal setup / workflow...

Ive had a WM edger since 2001.  I would be lost without it. That said,before I had an edger, I used to sort all my flitches in same  lengths  and widths onto some  pilebottoms. Id be careful to center each flitch on the pile in relation to the rest of them. After a pile got about 14-16 inches high, I would tale a couple of large  "C" clamps and clamp each end of the pile making sure the "C" clamps were centered at each end of the pile. Then me and the grunt(helper) would lift the pile onto the mill with the c clamps and two cuts later we had a nice pile of boards. Did cut the little metal twist thing on one clamp..heh.... ;D
