    I get asked a lot about which tool to purchase first, a Planer or a Jointer? I always say PLANER because you can get around not having a Jointer with a few simple jigs!

      They explain things much better because they know that some people don't have a base of understanding to work from.
      But seriously, thank you so much. I got most of the information, but I was missing most of the theory behind the techniques. I've been following your channel for awhile now and this is usually the 1st place I go to understand something that I just can't grasp.

    @rlamarch Рік тому +7

    Great video Tamar, I was woodworking for a long time before I learned the planner sled trick. A couple of tips, my planner pulls my board forward, so I always run the sled through with the end with the stop block first so it is pushing against the block. When you are looking to square the first edge of the board on the table saw, pay attention to the grain on the face of your board. You may have some sap wood that you would like to trim off or you may have straight grain (think quarter sawn or riff sawn) running down the board where you want to plan to keep the orientation straight instead of having it running off the side of the board at one time.

    Best explanation I have seen of this. It gave me several new ideas. Thank you. I will also add that, next to the tablesaw the jointer is probably the most dangerous tool in the shop. A co-worker recently cut finger tips off, will be needing surgery. All the methods you showed here are safer than that. I also hope that a Sawstop is in your future. With the amount of time you spend in the shop, the amount of work that you do on the tablesaw it would just make sense to protect your fingers and hands. Patreons maybe?

You are really good at describing the problem, presenting other possible problems then explaining your solution, why it works and why other solutions fail. And all with an upbeat sunny personality. If I came here not knowing any of this, I think I would have walked away with a wealth of new knowledge and, no matter what skill level, would understand all of it and be able to apply it to a project. I mean, nobody would mention things like shrinkage and why you milled it oversized but that's great information. Keep up the good work.

    I love when I watch a video and instead of feeling intimidated, I am encouraged. This video did that. Not only do I not have a jointer, I don't even have a table saw yet!. It's my next purchase for my lowly garage shop for sure, but even that has discouraged me because I always feel like I can't make all the amazing stuff I see in all these videos. Watching you explain all these methods just reminds me that these problems have solutions and they don't all require a very expensive tool specifically tailored to the job.
    Thanks for this video, your wonderful commentary, and patiently explained instructions. They gave this amateur some hope and encouragement. Thank you!

    Thank you for a concise and well articulated video on making and using a Planer Sled. I took what you said to heart and made and used one today on my new planer. What I did was not use any shims but I squirted a bead of hot glue into the gap left by the warped wood. When it hardened it basically made its own shim and at the same time glued the board to the sled. It worked like a breeze and saved me having to futz with shims and making sure they are seated just right. The glue made little feet under the warped areas and were a perfect fit.

    Thanks so much for this video. Very clear and easy to understand for me who is only starting to think about more serious woodworking. Previously I've only ever used a hand saw, drop saw, and orbital sander. But running into difficulties and limitations making larger things like bookshelves, issues like when edges aren't straight. And cabinets are even further out of possibility for me. I'm thinking of starting with a track saw, because that way I can cut out big pieces of plywood into cabinet walls and table tops, also make sure edges are straight for planks of wood. And my workshop is quite narrow so not really any room for machinery like planer, jointer, anything like that.

    This is by far and away the best explanation of how you can make ordinary lumber into usable stock without a jointer.
    I knew all of the steps before watching the video.
    I’ve read countless Pinterest articles detailing jigs you need to make or methods to do this.
    But you put it all together. Not only that; but along each step you not only said what you can do, but the “why.” I think this gets lost so much and I’m really grateful for what you did and I think you should be proud of this video. Plus it looked cold out there, so you get extra props. 😎👍

      Planer is WAY more useful around the shop for general overall use than a jointer, if you could only have one. I consider a planer an absolute necessity and a jointer more a luxury. Unless you are doing a lot of edge jointing for panel glue ups, etc you really can get by for the most part without a jointer especially when you consider their price.

    It seems to me you set this up to run the jig through backwards. The feed rollers will try to pull the wood forward on the jig not backwards. The block attached to your jig should be on the front not the back. Obviously it worked, but is technically backwards.

    • @behradgorgani
      @behradgorgani 3 роки тому +1

      RexSeven not really, the jig is set up the right way. While the roller pull the wood through, the cutter head spins the opposite direction as the roller, the cutter head has much more force and power to kick the wood back. I would set it up exactly as she is describing in the video.

      I tried the stop at the back but I had problems with the board sliding forward so I now have the stop at the front. I tried hot glue but the board moved anyway so I covered the top of the jig with rough sandpaper so the friction helps the board stay put. I also top the shims with a piece of rough sandpaper and everything stays in place.
