Hmm - I've got a 305mm 'double bevel sliding compound' mitre saw which I was planning to use for the basic cuts (goes straight through like a knife in butter) but assumed I'd have to make a jig & use a hand saw for any half-dovetails. Thinking about it a jig with a chainsaw sounds the best...

Ok so mainly just the practicalities then. These sleepers are actually 3.6m in length. Realise it's overkill for the job but want it looking rustic. As long as I brace the frame together properly any movement or twisting shouldn't affect the structure and would add to the character. They're...
