- Watch me show you how I select lumber and mill it real quick.
This is Part 2 of my Credenza build where I explain how I select lumber for a project then I quickly explain my milling process. Still just a bunch of talking, but I should be making some sawdust in the next one.

I swear, your other calling in life is comedy...you are so funny! I get to learn stuff about woodworking and I get to laugh! Win Win!
Haha, being a comedian will be my back-up plan if this whole woodworker thing doesn't pan out. Glad I could give you a laugh, thanks for watching!
Great video as always. Dig that shirt!
Really appreciate it, Kevin! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for explaining all this is such detail!
Right on, thanks for watching!
You can also use a plugin called Bommer to export a bill of materials from components to get a list of dimensions parts
Nice! I figured there had to be some way to do that!
Great vid keep up the good work
Really appreciate it. Thanks for watching!
That intro recapping part 1 cracked me up. I really like this. Keep up the good work.
Haha, right on! Had to throw together the important parts. Thanks, man!
Great video Shaun! Have you seen The Wood Whisperer “A Trip To The Lumberyard” video? It’s super funny.
Thanks Matt! Haha, I remember watching that years ago when woodworking youtube videos were a brand new thing. It still holds up!
Hey Shaun, mind sharing how much all the lumber for a project like this would cost? Every time I think of a project, I kind of get discouraged thinking about how much lumber will cost me, knowing that it's expensive. Can you give us an idea of how lumber prices compare when green vs kiln dried vs already joined/planed?
Thanks and keep up the great work!
Chris
Yeah, lumber costs are definitely tough to justify sometimes, especially when building a spec piece like this one that might not sell. The lumber that will go into this piece is probably around $400-500, and obviously lumber costs vary widely depending on where you live. There usually isn't a huge price difference between rough and surfaced lumber, and I almost always mill everything I buy anyway, so that doesn't really come into play for me. You start to see significant price differences with stuff like flat sawn vs. rift sawn vs. quarter sawn, or figured wood, wide boards, etc. Hope that helps!
Your a legend
Haha, thanks man! Now I just have to figure out how to get that Will Smith money.
I absolutely love how you explain your process in such great detail. Thank you! Looking forward to seeing your progress.
Glad you enjoyed it! I am stoked to make some progress too. Thanks for watching!
I am super late...duhhhh...lol
Wait a minute...you are selling formula now?😁 Cool t-shirt man...
Haha, glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
Hey man have you talked about that Hitachi jointer planer in a video somewhere I missed? Seems like kind of a rare tool. I know my tools pretty well and I’ve never seen one. I’m intrigued.
I briefly talked about it in my shop tour video from awhile back. It is actually a Makita 2030, and is probably from the late 70's/early 80's or so. I don't know a ton about it, but I haven't seen another one except when doing internet searches for it.
I am not woodworker myself, but I enjoy your videos a lot! I really like your aesthetics.
Really appreciate that! Always cool to hear from non-woodworkers!
Great video Shaun! Do you worry about snipe during milling when you have already cut everything down to rough size?
Yeah, still have to take that into consideration. My planer does a decent job with pretty minimal snipe if everything is jointed well. But I'll still cut the parts long enough where I can trim any snipe off after milling. Thanks for watching Adam!
Absolutely beautifully put together. A joy to watch. Thank you
Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching!
so much value in this content.. thank you
Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching!
Love this style of video! I'd love to see more full breakdowns :)
Glad to hear that! Chris and I have been knocking around the idea of doing more videos like this for a while.
Really enjoy your explanations and aesthetic Shaun. Makes me think that even I could do this too someday. Keep up the inspiring work!
Really appreciate it, Greg! I'm sure you could do this too, just have to go for it!
I really love your delivery of your videos mate, very well explained & concise 🍻👍👍👍👍
Really appreciate that! Always good to hear I am making sense. Thanks for watching!
Whhhhoooooaaaaa! Thanks for the shout out brother!
For sure, man! You did all the heavy lifting and your video is a wealth of knowledge!
Where r u from sir.its is really helpful
Loved this video, Shaun! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to part 3!!
Really appreciate it! I'm making good progress, so will hopefully have an update soon!
Great information Shaun, Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching, Felix!
Valuable info in this video. Love the words of wisdom at the end 🤣
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
Hey Shaun, first of all I want to thank you for your content. I'm relatively new to woodworking and I have learned a lot from your videos.
I plan to buy some kind of planer (I'm on a tight budget) and I would love to get your advice. Do you think that it makes more sense to buy a new thicknesser like the triton tpt125 or something old and used like an Elektra Beckum HC 260?
Really appreciate it, Martin! It's always a toss up for me when looking to purchase a new machine. It is nice to get something brand new, and not have to worry about anything. But it is also nice to maybe get a better tool, at a better price when buying used. I'm not familiar with the Elektra, but it looks like it is a combo jointer/planer, which would definitely be nice to have over just the triton planer. Hope that helps!
Thank you. It definetly helps now it's about finding the right offer. But I'm still wondering what the advantage is of joining the edges with a jointer instead of a tablesaw.
As usual Shaun a helpful perspective for the viewer. Even though I knew this content it is always refreshing to watch you elaborate. And super good punchline.....
Thanks Dan! I always figure even if somebody knows this stuff, hopefully it is still just fun to watch.
Another great video really helpful
Awesome! Thanks for watching, Keith!
I really liked the video will follow your updates. Like!
Really appreciate it! Thanks!
Nice upload, it’s really honest and useful content. You would be an awesome teacher, relaxed vibes
Thank you! That is good to hear, glad you enjoyed it!
awesome. thanks for that. can't wait to see the build.
Thanks! I am stoked to finally get to building this thing!
I take it that you prefer kiln dried over air dried. I live out in the sticks and the nearest hardwood lumber store (not big box stores) is an hour and a half away! Only bonus of this area is Walnut is cheap! $2 a board foot, air dried, rough sawn! I been sitting on some 20" - 30" wide 10 footers by 7/4.
For the most part, kiln-dried is the only option at my lumber supplier, and I have to drive about an hour, as well! Such a pain. Every once in awhile I will get a lead on something milled locally, but it is rare. $2/bf Walnut sounds like a dream come true!
"Grain Freak"... Next t-Shirt? Hahaha Love the video Shaun!
Haha, that might be a good idea! Thanks Dave!
Great video. I learned a lot about woodology. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. : )
Right on, good to hear! Glad you got something out of it, and thanks for watching!
I have zero patience so I'm hating this project video format. But I love it. I kinda think you should do it this way for all of them. Then you can dig into the details a little further each time. Like each project is a trilogy. I know milling is, uh, run of the mill type stuff, but it can be fun and interesting. Thanks and good work!
I am the same way! But I am enjoying getting a bit more into the details, as well. We will see if it sticks, or maybe I can do it just for the larger builds I have. Thanks for watching!
I struggle with using the jointer. Not sure if it’s my lack of experience or if my jointer is slightly off. But I actually just sold it to upgrade to a little better one so I guess I’ll find out soon lol
Yeah, a jointer is definitely a tool that needs to be dialed in to work properly. Even if it is slightly out of tune, it will be difficult to even get decent results. Hopefully a new one will do the trick!
It can also help to add length to the in and out feed tables if you are using a really small model
Joep Selles yea, I’m just in a super tiny space
Brads Workbench Same here! Try supporting the lumber on a bigger area. (Don’t make an extension higher than the original) tune the planer as good as possible and apply pressure to the infeedtable. Hope you have more luck with the new one!:)
Nice video
Thanks!
Hey Shuan, can't believe I'm first. Really enjoy your channel, and the quality content you out out.... Keep up the great videos, and the fantastic pieces you create. Until next time, Dirty Jersey out!!!
Really appreciate that! Thanks for following along, man!
👍😁👍
Query this Batman (yes you can steal that :) ). Why do you joint one face and then plane the other face.....as compared to planing both faces? Preference or a reason? Thanks Batman. Signed, the joker
I am Batman! When milling you always want to start with one totally flat face, and the quickest way to do that is with a jointer. All a planer does is cut the top face parallel to the face against the planer bed, so if there was a bow in a board, that bow would not go away when only using a planer. That being said, there are times when I will only use the planer, specifically with long, thin material where a bow in a board can easily be corrected when joining it with other boards. Hopefully that all makes sense! Thanks for watching!
If you joint both sides, both sides will be flat, but most likely NOT parallel to eachother. Jointing one side makes it flat, then planing the other side ensures that it's parallel to the first side.
All I wanted to say is that I like your logo. Very clever design, hinting to wood grain.

BF is just a fancy name for cubic feet!
Or...1/12th of a cubic foot :)
Really appreciate it! That is definitely what I was going for with the design for the logo!
How much do you add in to give a rough length?
Depends on how much material I have to spare, sometimes it is pretty tight. But I try to shoot for at least a few inches when I can.
How many takes to get that last line right?
Way too many!
"I'm not a grain freak" that was funny...
Haha, I am probably weird for not being a grain freak.
To further justify usage of plywood I would like to mension that its much less likely to expand or contract. So making the carcass out of ply is not only cheaper and easier, but better for the customer, needs less maintenance. Thanks for sharing the knowlage. All best.
Yep, you are definitely right about that! Thanks for watching Borys!
Great video Shaun. Out of interest, is your logo supposed to reference wood end-grain, as in 4 blocks of wood stacked together? That's what I take from it. 👍
Thanks for watching! Yes, that was definitely part of the thought process when designing the logo! Glad it is coming across!
Jeez, with recaps this detailed, where's the intensive to go watch the first video?!
Good call, not a very sound strategy for getting views! Might have to trim it down for the next one.
Hey Shaun - great vid - can you translate all that jargon into metric? 😎 😁
Haha, hold on, let me ask Siri.
Nice video Shaun, thanks for walking through that process! Do you always use shop grade ply? Or does it depend on the project?
Thanks for watching, John! I don't always get shop grade, especially if the plywood is going to be highly visible. But I probably get the shop stuff 50% of the time when they have it, just because I am often cutting it up into smaller sections and it is easy to cut around defects.
Great video. What software do you use for your designs? Trying to find a good alternative to Sketchup.
Thanks Justin! I have started using Fusion 360 for a lot of my designs. I don't have much experience with Sketchup, but Fusion seems to be a more powerful program.

Any Scottish viewers reading the comments? Do you know any good lumber yards in Scotland?
Wish I could help you out, hopefully somebody has some info for you! Thanks for watching!
I would dearly love to be your intern or something... Understudy... Slave... I'm not fussy.
Haha, someday I hope to be able to have some help in the shop! Thanks for the offer!
