I had posted earlier I was building a garage addition, 750 or so sq ft, and was going to side it in western red cedar, channel rustic, sometimes called shiplap, 1" x 8". So I ordered 2000 lineal ft, at $1.70 per ft. ... $3641 or so. Well, I ran short about 36 ft. and the local guys didn't stock it and would have had to drive 50 miles or so to the distributor who they got if from. Not wanting them to go to all that, I said I could make some out of RS 1 x 8 's. So, I used a "sacrificial fence" and ran the dado head up into it 3/8 strong, and started in. I needed a rabbet 3/4 by 3/8th and another 1 1/4 by 3/8ths for the tongue. No big deal to the experts on here but it might be useful to someone starting out. The pictures should tell the story:

Nice but, one question. There is no barrier between the siding and sheeting, such as tar paper. I know it is just a garage but, water will still find its way behind that siding.
