  • Made a simple jig to allow a 1/8 inch cut each time to flatten the lumber. Does it work as good as a jointer? NO. But it does work

    it doesn't look like it worked very well as the edge is wavy and not straight, can you confirm?

      No, it works good. The wavy was the face of the board. It was 120 yr old barn wood. I used this method until I bought a planer about 2 years ago. It's slow as it can only take off about 1/16th per pass. If your confident with a table saw there is another method using a long level and pushing the board with it riding next to a level. It works. If you decide to do that don't start with a long board, work up to a longer piece of wood as you feel more comfortable.

    How do you keep the jig firmly attached to the saw table? I ask because I saw it wiggling a bit when you first pressed the wood against it and that seems a bit worrying safety wise.

      Hey, thanks for asking. I guess I should have made a "build" video, but I just build a box around my table saw fence that was clamped and screwed together while clamped. I added closed ends to it to make it fully enclose the fence. It's Friction fit over the fence. It's so tight that I have to pull hard to remove it. I used the saw blade raised to it full height to cut out a 1/8 indentation, then lower the blade slightly while jointing. The blade almost makes no contact with the fence. I hope this description makes sense.
