  • actually what i do is to keep pressure on the back as i start thru then transfer my pressure to the front after i reach the halfway point, if i am jointing something that has a ggod size bowin it and i am forced to joint it with the bowed side down the above will not work, in this case i keep the pressure on the infeed side ( starting side)...

  • After watching many many of Charles' videos the only thing that comes up my mind is that he is the best old school, yet modern woodworker I've ever seen.

    Simple, on topic and entertaining.

    Bravo! I love these vids...

  • man oh man....if you only knew...it takes me more time to clean up the area just to film, than to do the vid......I roll...thanks for all the comments

  • Thanks or sharing your knowledge.

    One point though.... You say a couple of times in the video that the jointer makes parallel surfaces, and when you finish squaring up to edges you say the two faces are parallel. There not parallel, they're perpendicular. Big difference.

  • nice

  • Jesus Christ. Thanks man. Bought my first jointer a month back and couldn't get it to shave the boards straight. Watched your vid, raised my outfeed table and we are in business. I was a bit miffed at the fact I couldn't get a straight board. Both ends were doing what you described as "snipe". Getting knotty alder dust in my keyboard now. Thanks again.

  • Thanks for your help. You are both funny and very informational. Thanks for making it real.

  • Set the fence to 90deg. Plane the wider side putting the hollow side to the bed to a flat finish. Turn through 90deg again with the hollow side to the bed, and the planed face up against the square fence, and plane until straight. If you are planing two pieces put them edge to edge and you should not see a gap if the cutters are set correctly. We call it a Surface Planer in England.

  • Teeeee heeee he. "This piece of Ash" :49.......I gotta' get me a piece of Ash. Love it! You are doin' a great job Bud. I learn a lot from ya! keep em' comin'

  • Hi, Just looking for some advice on plaining and thicknessing really large and long boards e.g 300mm wide and bark on the edges. . All the proper moisture content etc. The planer thicknesser im using can handle up to 300mm wide. Thanks James

  • Very helpful, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with the rest of us.

  • Great video. Finally I can look this darn machine in the eye!

    Cheers
