Many woodworking videos are spoiled by fastmotion, skipping or unnecessary music. This video is an example on how to make an instructional video on woodworking.
Couldn’t agree more, clear explanations are a necessity and it’s very well done here.
I'm totally agree with you!
I've just started wood working and wanted to do it in the traditional style because I figured it would cost less money and allow me to invest alot of time into a single project rather than making alot of not as important projects. I've been doing alot of work by just using a jack plane and then hand sanding but not getting nearly the accuracy I want. This video helps me alot, thanks.
This video just convinced me that a jointer is worth the money lol
BowHunter77 i was thinking the same thing
BowHunter77 its just a little work! lol
I know right! I admire the effort but even he was out of breath at the end of the video.
What's wrong with being out of breath? :)
I can certainly appreciate both. I love quietly working with hand planes, but I also like the speed of power tools that speed up the dimensioning process....so I can move quickly onto the more skilled joinery with hand tools.
Finally someone showed the full process! Great video, thank you very much
Some of the best 30 minutes I've ever spent on you tube
wow, thanks for the compliment! f you enjoued this, you'll enjoy my forum.
Wood and Shop I totally agree! Great 30mins, my wife also appreciated it so thank you.
And some of the worst 30 minutes you could waste on a single board since the invention of power tools
Wow I only realized it was that long after reading your comment
I've just come across this video and totally agree. I just can't understand the negative comments about traditional hand tool woodworking. I have subscribed.
It's a pretty great feeling to realize that you'll never run out of things to learn. I thought I knew a good bit about woodworking with power tools, but this video showed me that there is an entirely new dimension of the craft to explore. Thanks!
noiserock Glad you liked the video!
Lovely traditional use of tools, thank for making this video
Lots of useful information, quietly delivered. Thank you.
Thanks for taking the time to make this.
Excellent tutorial, consistently reinforcing the basic details.
Very Therapeutic!! It is so relaxing watching you work. I can almost smell the wood. Nice Job!!!
Man! That's one beauty of a shop you got there. Everything so nice and orderly arranged.
it has always amazed me that anyone can hand plane a board edge to a perfect 90°.
That was a great watch! Thank you for time and effort
Excellent, fantastic, outstanding! Well done sir! Thanks for the education!
What a FANTASTIC video! So many of my questions were answered! I am so thrilled at my new found information, that you are in the GTA and that you offer courses and workshops...it's a good day! Thanks for making this video.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing and for taking the time to show all those steps! This is definitely going to my favorites file!
thanks so much for this video! as usual - extremely comprehensive and easy to understand. I have just recently salvaged some old oregon beams and I'm looking forward to bringing them back to their former glory!
Very thorough explanation. I appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share.
This was one of the greatest videos I've ever watched.
This is craftsmanship, classic and rewarding I love it.
Awesome video. Just what I needed at the right time. You sir are a great teacher. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much. This was extremely useful and your explanations and demonstrations were very clear and precise.
Well done, young man. I enjoyed that.
Absolute artwork! Inspiring. Thank You!
A thorough introduction to the woodworking hand tools used in dimensional planing and jointing. Thank you. Excellent.
You're a good teacher.
Thanks for this video.
Hi Joshua! thank you very much to share your knowledge with us. It's very helpful.
Thanks for all the great tips! Getting started with traditional woodworking has been a bit intimidating for me. Your video helped a lot. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. It is really useful, please go on doing this, there is so much value in these tools and techniques.
I appreciate a lot when there's some good skill I can learn. That's the case of this video. Thank you.
This is a very good video and the best I have seen on youtube about flattening and squaring rough timber. Thank you.
THANKS FOR THE HONESTY AND TEACHING.
That was one of the best videos i’ve ever seen, learned a lot, a Masterclass! Thank you
Great video Joshua! Definitely learned a lot of things watching this.
Very concise instructional video! Thumbs up.
Thank you for your work, it inspires me to build my basement woodworking shop
A fantastic lesson. Thank you.
I REALLY love this video. You explained all of the stuff really good. Now I think I understood how our anchestors supposed us to use a jointer.
Excellent video!! Very informative. Thanks for filming and posting.
Great woodworking teacher, great teacher. Of the many out there, you stand out at on top!
Thank you for your demonstration. I keep practicing, hoping to one day achieve a decently flat and square board. Your video was helpful.
This is a great video. It really made using a planer less intimidating too!
This is an excellent video and this guy is so generous with his time thank you
I have huge respect for your patients. I honestly just can't imagine spending this amount of effort, on one board, before power tools came along. I suppose before the invention of TV and other forms of entertainment people had nothing better to do than spend whole days planing down boards. Great job on keeping this art alive.
"nothing better to do"? This is how every finished board in history was made. You make it seem like it's just something to fiddle with. They needed boards. How have you mastered Godot if you think this is too meh.
This has been the best tutorial for flattening a board yet. Thank you.
Wow. Incredible!
I don't know if I will ever be able to do that. I'm just starting to learn woodworking so I have a long ride ahead of me.
Thanks for sharing!!!
great information! this definitely cleared some things up for me. my first attempts at squaring a board were disasters.
I appreciate this traditional woodworking, but my power tools make me happy! Nice job on the video. I did learn something about hand planes. Thanks!
Really nice explanations. Thanks for making this.
So much work, the results are nice.
Nice tutorial, thank you for creating this.
this is one of the best channels to subscribe to. thank you Joshua for your energy.

Jake Gevorgian You're welcome Jake! I hope you've visited WoodAndShop!
Great demonstration and explanation. Thanks.
Thanks for teaching us these classic wood working techniques. This fall, I'm about to make some small boxes out of walnut and pine and your lesson is worth its weight in gold.
Excellent. Thanks for making the video.
Thank you for your detailed explanation. Now I'll try again.
I have a planer and a jointer but sometimes i prefer to do all dimensioning the way you are showing here, great video.
Very helpful! I'm going to buy my first plane and this video help me a lot
Thanks so much for this -- the best explanation I've seen!
Beautiful work.
You are right, there are so other ways to do this and even faster, but the quality and the satisfaction is the best! Great video!
Outstanding and considerate of several things I wonder as learner. Much gratitude.
+John Maksim Glad you liked it John!
Very helpful and instructional to rookies like me...Definitely gives me a profound admiration for the early woodworkers!
Thank you for sharing
Great video and process
Fantastic instruction. I'm a novice hobbyist and was instantly jealous of your bench. Great video. Keep it up!!
Great skills. Thanks for posting.
Thank you, exactly what I needed.
Really great video , appreciated your work.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Great video. Really informative and well presented. Thanks..
Great video. I have all the power tools to do it more loudly, but I prefer the hand tools more and more.
This video makes the quieter process clear and accessible. Thanks.
Great video - I needed it. Thanks for your efforts.
This is gold! No wonder I have trouble flattening boards. I always kept all the downward force on the plane's knob, throughout the entire stroke. Thanks for all the great tips!
Thanks for the info very very useful... free education thanks! Im glad this world has people like you.
Excellent video. Thank you!
Amazing! Thank you so much for this video. I haven't enjoyed a woodworking video like this for a long time.
Enjoyed your video very informative
loved wood all my life, but too tied up in holding down a job. Now, I can learn, thanks to you and the Internet. Many thanks for sharing this with the likes of us,

Eight years ago, and I'm only finding it now! Great video. I have been frustrated with getting my mitre saw to cut true and thinking that I should dimension even store bought wood properly by hand. Now I am convinced! Thank you for posting this video; brilliant approach and full concentration on the job-in-hand, rather than talking about peripheral topics that are not relevant.
Great video. Very helpful tips
Very informative and detailed tutorial. Much appreciated. Especially the part on using a saw for squaring the end grain instead of relying on a block plane. Also found it interesting that you used a straight edge again and again to verify progress. It goes to show that quality results take time.
thank you so much for this video step by step, very intesting. i think we must practice a little bit to obtain this result but it's the challenge and a pleasure !!!
Your video is truly excellent!
really good video! it is so important for this kind of practical knowledge to be made as accessible as possible. old books can be so hard to visualise and learn techniques from. I have been making a set of drawers from tiber I milled myself and have been in the workshop scratching my head thinking i will have to spend more money than I have on a thickness-er planer. no more! Back to hand planes it is!!
Is good to know I'm not alone !! This is a work man !!
Excellent video. Thanks for helping me
Really nice video. Well produced and I actually appreciate you leaving the "oops, not like that" moments in the video. It's good to see what can go wrong and observe what happened so that we can learn. Thank you for documenting things like this and keeping this art alive.
This is a perfect video, thank you for making this
McGinn's WoodShop Thanks for the compliment...not sure about perfect, but I'm glad it helped!
+Wood and Shop qw
Great video! Great tips, great advice. Thank you so much!
keep doing your best man! thanks!
Enjoyable , informative and great always to the point thank you so so much God bless you
Nice and through work!
Great video thanks. Just getting started with using more hand tools and this is a great resource I get for free. Thansk you
Thank you so much, I finally understand! You explained how to square up a board by hand better than anyone I have ever heard explain it before. Most people have listened to just gloss over while doing it without taking the extra time to actually explain in detail what they are doing while they are doing it.
Great video. Thanks Douglas
Thank you! A lot of us beginners or those of us that have been doing it for a while, but wrong, find this very helpful for making a foundation of skills for rewarding woodworking.
It was like an eye opening , I have a woodshop with some powertools but always been attracted to hand tools...But I didnt know much about a jointer from an other one and how to use them, wich is needed first etc... then BAM this video made it crystal clear and Im even more attracted to them, time to hunt some used hand planes :)
Definitely one of the best videos. Thank you.
Thanks so much.
Thank you for all the information brother. A lot of good information and good tips. I'm subscribed.
Buddy, you just earned my subscription.
Thank you, this is so valuable to those of us who are not equipped with an electric jointer and planer, or those who simply prefer more organic methods (such as myself). Subscribed.
