I'm curious as to how other folks make their braces. I typically use 4x6 stock although I have used 3x5 as well. I'm not a fan of curved braces. My current method is layout, circ-saw, chisel clean-up, repeat.
I don't have a radial arm saw but I can appreciate how that tool would suit brace production.
So what methods do you guys use to speed up this repetitious but necessary task? Any tips? Jigs? Band saw perhaps? I own a 14" General that I've been eyeing up lately with ideas of a cheek-cutting jig.
