Im getting ready to mill my own flooring out of random width salvaged barn boards. I have them planed, and jointed both edges. I was thinking of using a ship-lap joint instead of a t&g, more because of the ease of milling. Any thoughts on this? Also, how do I nail the shiplap? Leave one edge free? Thanks

Dave,
Take the time to put a T&G edge on your stock.A shiplap joint might work if you were going to face nail the floor with some kind of antique nails, but then you can forget about refinishing it later when it gets worn. Good luck.
