Is there any practical way of doing this? I have 160± pieces of 1"x6"x42" boards. Hem fir. Is finger jointing possible in the home shop. Willing to pay for some tooling. Could a commercial place 'fingerjoint' this for me for a price that would be less than buying equivalent amount of lumber. BTW, I live in the Northwest, we have some lumber mills nearby.
BTW, 15 years ago I cut 3000 l.f. of custom moulding for a re-model that I was doing. Still have the Foley Belsaw moulder. At that time a lumber supplier was able to get me finger joint (not door jamb) 1" primed paint grade lumber for a very attractive price. Finger joint has no knots, does not warp (every other piece is flip-flopped) and is great to work with. Sure beats the mdf which turns to dust when you shape it.
Thanks for ideas,
Ivan Vegvary
