Default Using a router for edge jointing

I guess what everyone is saying is forget about the router table and
just use a straight edge with a handheld router.

Since the boards each way about 40 pounds and 2" thick I was not too
happy thinking of juggling them onto a router table even with a 36"
fence and feeding them onto an saw table as an extension


If the edges are not already pretty good you'd do better to make a
carrier and rip them on a saw (clamp to piece of ply overhanging a
bit, use ply to guide on fence) THEN use a clamped on straight edge
and router to cut off a whisker.
