  • @erouse666

    I trick I learned when edge joining is to decide ahead of cutting how the boards will go together, mark them and then joint the edges 1 up, then the mating piece down. That way even if the blade is not exactly 90 to the table, the error will be corrected. It's the same thing as when cutting 45s for a frame, as long as the 2 pieces add up to 90 it doesn't matter if they are both exactly 45.

    • @mikecurtin9831
      @mikecurtin9831 3 роки тому +4

      If you miter this way, the angle will be the same, but the cut edges won't line up because they'll be different lengths.

    • @edwardr1367
      @edwardr1367 3 роки тому +1

      @@mikecurtin9831 Good point, but unless there are several degrees difference or the boards are very wide (or thick in this case) the difference is minor and, in most cases, not noticeable.

    • @InfectedByEli
      @InfectedByEli 3 роки тому +5

      Same principle when edge jointing with a handplane. Clamp both boards together with the two 'outside' faces touching and plane the combined edge. If you're slightly off square the error on one edge is the mirror error on the other mating edge.

    Used this video for my first try at making a large 20 inch by 30 inch panel using 2x6's for an 1889 bell stand. Let me say, it came out perfect. Your joining techniques on the table saw worked as instructed. I did use bisquits to help line up and add to the surface area for the glue to adhere. Again, worked like a charm. Great video!!!!!

    Thank you so much Steve I am making a lift top coffee table from pallet wood, and I need to edge join 4 strips of wood into panels. 4 of them, and all need to be the same size. This vid has given me confidence that I can achieve this I will use the table saw to, not only straighten both edges, but also ensure each piece is the same width.

  • @ironwood1621
    @ironwood1621 3 роки тому +1

    This is why I really like your videos. As a "beginner" I don't have a planer or jointer. Nothing worse than seeing a video about something I really want to build and it starts out with " take your pieces to your jointer (or planer)...". Your videos make me feel like I can do anything. Thank you.

    • @MichaelAlthauser
      @MichaelAlthauser 2 роки тому +1

      YES! This is exactly the issue I've been having lately too. Seems like everything starts off with the expensive equipment that most beginners don't have. This is also the first "jointing without a jointer" video I've seen that's actually easy and simple to follow.

  • @seventhmonkey1160
    @seventhmonkey1160 2 роки тому +14

    That method only works well if the rip fence side of the board is perfectly straight. Use a long level against the fence that moves with the wood to cut the first edge perfectly straight. When you do the other edge use the now perfect edge directly against the fence.

  • @rayray8687
    @rayray8687 3 роки тому

    Very good and accurate video. One tip: The pipe clamp jaws are going to cause indentations to the outer edges of this lamination. Best to use a full length very smooth-faced block along each edge and save a lot of cleaning up later. Also, after clamping, use a damp cloth and completely wipe down ALL squeezed out glue or you will have a nightmare when it comes to staining/finishing later on. (Ok, that was 2 tips).

    Steve, I usually place both boards into a vice and using a plane plane two edges at the same time. I also plane so there is a very slight gape in about the middle of the boards. First plane to get the boards even then start the plane inside the end of the board and stop before you get to the end. Repeat this a couple of times starting the plane closer to the middle each time and stopping about the same distance from the end. You end up with a very small gap in the middle of the joint. Put glue on the edges of the board and clamp in the middle pulling the the center together, this will draw the ends really tight and negate the need for a gazillion clamps.
