Why was the "demonstration" board not the one you planed? Would've showed it worked better if you hadn't changed boards after setting up. imo
Yup, I did! I switched boards! I filmed the explanation several times with the board i put through the planer, but every time I looked over the video i shot---it was hard to see how warped that old board was( the one with the blue stripes) on screen. In video, it was hard to appreciate how much the sled supported the board. I don't know why but that happens sometimes when filming projects. Stuff in real life doesn't look good or translate well to video.
I finally gave up and used another board that was lighter in color, badly warped, and could easily be seen "stabilized" on the sled. That board, however, is rare hackberry that I milled out of a tree....and its also has a book match brother. Those two boards are going to be used later this year when they finish drying. I wasn't ready to cut into them yet. I was not willing to sacrifice that beautiful board for the sake of the video. I hope that answers your question. thank you for watching. Cheers!
My Garage Woodshop, Roger that thank you for the explanation.
Jackson Smith it wasn’t click bait at all. Even if he didn’t give an explanation which he did by the way it still wasn’t click bait. The video was to demonstrate the jig and he did that. Switching boards made no difference at all. Don’t be so quick to jump to conclusions mate. It’s all good.
Cheers mate and happy trails
Yes i want to see the demostration board get pass throught the planer...
Eres el chingon camara felicidades
That is majorly impressive, Rod!!! Mind blown!!! I know you said you got the idea from the magazine but the magazine didn't build it, YOU did!! Awesome craftsmanship brother, my neck is gonna get sore looking up to you.

you kidding! im the one that looks up to you! you got that mechanical/engineering way of looking at the craft, brother. you have no idea how much i envy that. thanks for taking the time to watch and enjoy the video, brother!
in a word... bad-ass. Fairly simple and elegant solution for those of us limited by space or budget constraints for a jointer. Thanks for sharing.
+jcvord I hear ya! So glad you found it helpful, JC! Thank you so much for your feedback and for reaching out! Hope it helps you in your work! Thanks for watching, man. Cheers!
Great video! Another idea would be to create a sandbox big enough for your board. Sand or even dirt would totally support the board without any adjustment needed
Really well-edited and put together video Rod. Keep up the good work and don't give up!
I love the "learning curve" pun.
Great build and idea. Surprised there aren't more out there
Damn it.........another project! Thanks.
nicely explained, no wasted time in the sequence.
Great little jig, that will save a lot of $$$ and shop floor space.
An amazing simple and ingenious idea.
How nice to see smart people in action !!
fantastic video and you didn't waste our time like so many do, chatting and squandering valuable work time. Thanks so much
At first I wondered why you would want to build such a seemingly complicated fixture. But now I get it. I think it's an outstanding idea.
I don't know how you don't have more subscribers. The channel is amazing.
I had to subscribe to your channel, I love your enthusiasm and your skills!
I just stumbled upon this video... Great job, Rod! We really enjoy seeing people build the projects we've designed. Great video production too!
+Woodsmith Awesomeness! Love your magazine. I have built tons of your jigs! Thanks for watching! Happy woodworking!
Your enthusiasm is contagious! Thanks for sharing this great idea.
+Kevin Waycaster Thank you so much for watching and reaching out, Kevin! I hope it helps you in your work! Cheers!
Such a cool tool to add to the arsenal of your shop, Very nice job Rod!!
Thanks Abel! i figured its a pretty cool addition to the shop if i don't have a jointer at the moment and i wanna save time flattening boards for big projects!
I love your attitude! The way you intro'd into the video by saying you can't get out of the shop really shows your love for woodwork. You really distinguish yourself from other accounts, keep on keeping on!
Awesome sled... video was awesome as well!
Thanks for sharing. that is a great idea, I hate twisted lumber.. this will be by new best friend once I get a plainer!
Dear Rod, many thanks for this video. I really regret that I didnt meet your channel before. Thumbs up.!!!
Great video Rod. Went all out with the animations too. Slick.
+Jon Stewart If I don't impress Jon Stewart, then it's not a good video! Lol! So glad you liked it, thanks for watching, Jon. Now I got all this pressure on me!
I've been fooling around cabinet shops for over 25 years.... this is an awesome tip! Thank you Rod.
I bought a whole bunch of wood magazines from a retired woodworker. It’s probably around 200-300 magazines and I happen to find that issue in there. Thank you for showing where you got the plans.
Great video, Rod.
What a great concept 👍
Just last week I was wondering what to do with a piece of curly maple I've had for a long time that has warped. And since the DeWalt planer has become my favorite tool, I am so making it one of these!! Thanks for passing this great idea along for the good of wood!
This thing is crazy. Really awesome. The other day I tried figuring out some mechanism that what do just the work your model does.
I wasn't able to figure it out. This is so clever! Awesome...
I just bought my first planer (DW 735x) and have fallen in love with it! Your videos will deepen that love and increase my skills! Thanks!
I bought that issue of the magazine specifically for the planer sled plan. I haven't made it yet but now it's jumping to the top of my list.
This sled is awesome.
one of the best ideas I've seen in a long time.Everyone has a 12" plus planer but few have a 12" jointer.

Thank you so much, Trigger, i thought so too when i first laid eyes on it thru ShopNotes. It definitely helps us guys who don't have much space or income for a massive jointer. I hope this helps you in your shop too. Thanks for watching and reaching out, brother. would love to hear from you again. And can i just say.......That one hell of name, Trigger Finger, just awesome!
Is so cool. Not that I have a planner but now it makes me want to have one. Thanks for sharing.
+Vocho's Granja HahahAhaha! Sorry I helped increased your appetite for a planer. If you got one, though,.... you would love it! Thanks for watching, Vocho!
You are a GOLDEN GOD of woodworking dude! I know the planer sled wasn't your idea, but still, it was an awesome demonstration. I'll hopefully be buying my first planer in the next few months. However I have to first build my wood shop. That means using cost effective rough cut lumber from a mill. You know what that means...issues. This sled build you shared with us should take care of most of the warped boards. I might have to build extra stands and a planer sled that can handle 16 ft boards. Thanks again!
This likely the most useful woodworking video I have ever watched. Thanks for sharing Rod.
DUDE! Where were you about two months ago when I was struggling with 8 quarter birch boards that were a nightmare to get flat. I eventually gave up and just got them close then straightened them with glue and clamp pressure. This is awesome! Especially because I have the exact same planer. Sometimes good news just doesn't travel fast enough. What really cool is you only need to flatten one side, then you can use the planer as you normally would. Thanks for sharing!
+David Massey So sorry about that David, news of your plight did reach my ears down here in south Texas. I tried to send you word by carrier pigeon to no avail, I used a hawk too but no luck with that either. This video was my third attempt to reach you. 😉👊🏼
LOL!! I think the local bald eagle that hangs in the back yard here in Washington, got your messenger birds. I appreciate your effort though. If you want to see what I've been up to, do a CZcams search for the "Wood Knot Carpenter". Check out episode number 14 and 15. You can see some of the huge, distorted boards I had to deal with.
Again, thanks for sharing that information. I will definitely make one of those ASAP.
+David Massey That bald eagle explains a lot! I just used the sled last night for the third time. I flattened 27 inch long by 12 inch wide board! Worked like a dream! Will check out your stuff! Thanks!
I am so green right now. I'm almost done with my work bench. That sled and a drill press table will be the next additions to the shop. Thanks again.
Awesome video! And awesome jig!
Dayum Rod.....great build & xideo/instructional. One if the best on this I think. Loved it.
Thank you Rag, high praise, coming from you! glad you enjoyed it!
Sweet jig! Next big purchase I make is a planer so this will be perfect!
you're buying a planer?! Dudness...you are gonna love it! Being able to dimension boards easily changes your craft and opens up more possibilities on what you can make. Just watch, as soon as you buy it your mind is gonna start swimming with loads of new projects to take on. Thanks for watching Bigscreen!....... cool name!
My Garage Woodshop yes I will hopefully get one in the next coming months. The one I will be getting will be the ridgid 13". It's not my absolute first choice, but for where I live it's the one that I have access to without paying exorbitant shipping charges.(I'm in the Caribbean.) I've read lots of good reviews and some bad, but I will give it a shot. I am soon to start doing some woodworking videos just trying to find the time is kinda hard right now.
Great job Rod!! That's Awesome!!!!!
Thank You Josh! thanks for taking the time to watch and enjoy the project!
I bought a planer today. You're making me feel better about my cherry rhombuses that I just made. I'll be making a sled and using a deck of playing cards this time. I'm hoping to make something nice like what you have in the future. Thanks for sharing!
Great idea. Love the video work. You just saved yourself $9000 - approx cost of a 16" jointer.
Man, I wish I still had that much hair. Cool video by the way. 👍🏾
Nicely done!
I’m late to the party here but awesome job man! What a cool sled! Thanks for the video!
Excellent video. Really good additional graphics.
Very well done, Rod. Thank you.
+MIke Garrett Thank you, Mike, for the great feedback. Thanks for watching!
Well I dont have a planer yet but, when I do get one that sled is project #1
Time to check out more of your vids
Very cool sled!
You’re a smart guy. Cool to see this in action. Cheers
Nice work.
+mesquite mike thank you, Sir! And can I say???? That's one hell of a name you got there! 👍🏼👊🏼
Great project great video.
Awesome, Rod! I need to build one of these for flattening boards that I have too wide for my 6" jointer. Nice video!
Very great idea, I really like it!
with the sled height I will have about 2 to 3" left for my wood pieces to plane which is enough for most of wood pieces that are gonna be used for tables, shelves, chairs, trays... Etc!
Again, great video, thank you for sharing!
Very Impressive Build Rod. That's all kinds of Awesome..... Shared....
Terry, my friend, thank you for all the uplifting support and for always enjoying my projects along with me!
Your Very Welcome Rod. Keep being Inspiring ....
Really great planner sled ! Amazing!
Spot on. I do the same thing in a more rudimentary fashion, using shims and a dot of hot melt glue. It makes a better job than any jointer. Only limited by width of thicknesser
Great video. After I changed it I just had to subscribe.
You are a genius sir.
This is so bad ass! I totally need to make this! Looking forward to the build video!
"This is so bad ass! I totally need to make this! Looking forward to the build video!"
Hey David! thanks for checking out the project, its gonna end up turning into a major time saver for me. Glad you liked it! Working on it as we speak!
It's briliant jig! Thanks Rod!
You ar very welcome! Andthank you, Stavros, for watching!
I have the shop notes and plans in my library and will be part of my shop organization once I get to that point. Your video is exceptionally well done and to be commended
Excellent video! Great editing and graphics! I’m going to subscribe to your channel.
My hat's off to you! The production of your videos, is simply my favorite! Clear, detailed, but in a way that clarifies and identifies potential roadblocks! One of the very few channels that incorporates music properly! That's hard!(rare)
I dislike using my jointer. Finicky, to adjust and maintain.
This sled just jumped to the top of my projects list!
What an amazing idea. Definitly I'll do it for my planner 👌🏼
That was great, looking forward to the build and I see one in my future. Thanks for sharing Rod. Take care.
"That was great, looking forward to the build and I see one in my future. Thanks for sharing Rod. Take care."
Sure thing Marc! i am glad this video could possibly help you in your shop...that what i wanted. Awesome!
Really Amazing. Looks like a real Jewel. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Found your channel by searching for planer sled. I love this project! One of the best planer sleds on YT
"Found your channel by searching for planer sled. I love this project! One of the best planer sleds on YT"
Awesome Vin! i hope this helps you... please let me know if you end up building it. thanks again for watching and commenting, man!
Great work Rod, subscribed!
Never seen one of these sleds before! Thank you.
Really well organized and informative. I just bought 9’ long maple live edge planks that need serious planer attention. Thanks for your video. Looking forward to seeing more.
Even if you have a jointer, this would be a great solution for boards wider than your jointer will accommodate. I'm looking forward to the build video. Thanks!
"Even if you have a jointer, this would be a great solution for boards wider than your jointer will accommodate. I'm looking forward to the build video. Thanks!"
Thats excellent thinking, KSFWG! You are absolutely right about that, hadn't thought of it. Awesome, glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
That's really slick. Well done and thanks for the video, that just jumped up to #1 on the project list
+Louis Eubank So very cool, Louis! Glad I could help! Best of luck on the build, brother. Drop me a line if you have any questions. Thanks for watching, my man!
This is a "must have" for anyone with a planer! Nicely presented video!
+woodstoney thanks you wood, so glad you liked it. I hope it helps you in the shop. Cheers!
I just found this channel yesterday. Rod, you're doing a great job and your videos are brilliant! Thank you! so many great ideas and such good instructions! Keep it up!
Thank you so much, Allen, for that wonderful feedback. so glad you found your way to the channel. Welcome aboard! There's beer in the fridge! thanks so much for taking the time to watch the content, brother, really means a lot! cheers!
Great job, Rod. May be just what I need right now since I sold my old jointer and haven't bought the new one yet! Thanks, man & keep 'em coming. BTW, totally love FakingIt!
"Great job, Rod. May be just what I need right now since I sold my old jointer and haven't bought the new one yet! Thanks, man & keep 'em coming. BTW, totally love Faking It"
Drew! thanks you for commenting, watching, and enjoying the video. You have no idea how glad it makes me to think that one of my videos could possibly help you in your work and your shop, Pure awesomeness for me! That was the whole point to the video. Currently, working hard to get this next video out to ya! And thanks for listening to our shenanigans on Faking It, too! we just started up again. i think you will like our next show. We are going to be interviewing a CZcams content creator and asking her a bunch of oddball questions! Thanks again, Drew!
BTW, you guys have the audio dialed lately on the podcast. I chatted a while back w/ Andy about Dave's audio being abrasive. All good & perfect now!!! Keep it all coming & thank you ALL!
Subscribed, nice job! Your production is excellent - I like the animations/drawings and you do a great job explaining things concisely. Looking forward to watching more of your stuff.
+Mike M Thank you so much, Mike, for your feedback, means a lot to me, thank you! Thanks for reaching out.
The wellspring of CZcams bubbled up your excellent video today. Might even buy the plans, although it looks simple enough. Your production and editing got you a new subscriber. Outstanding.
Rod your video quality is amazing, your builds are amazing, you are amazing. I have a jointer but it's not a 13 inch jointer so I think this might be in my future.
"Rod your video quality is amazing, your builds are amazing, you are amazing. I have a jointer but it's not a 13 inch jointer so I think this might be in my future."
hahahahahaha. Your comment made my wife laugh! Thank you Matt, i just love you, brother. thanks for always watching and commenting and enjoying my projects along with me. i really appreciate your support. it makes me glad that i made something that might help you in your shop in the future.
Thanks George. Great video and your really uplifting. I actually felt better after watching it.
Nice Project great editing
After seeing this I going to have to make one of these too...so much better than using wedges.
I have to say Rod, your videos are so enjoyable even the ones where you don't speak, however, the ones you do talk in are the best, You are so humble, genuine and seem like a awesome person.
Awesome! I recently retired and I am working on setting up a woodshop in my basement. No planer yet, I'm just researching ideas and shop layouts. You did a great job with this. I'm off to the build video now.
Very creative!
Soooooo cool! Now I know what I need to make when I get my planer up and running!
+Michael Lawing You're getting a planer?!?! Dude, so cool! Being able to dimension your boards changes how and what you make. After you get it your head starts swimming with a ton of new ideas! Thanks Michael for watching!
MGW, dude, I don't think you set up your board wrong. When you start cutting into almost any board, but ESPECIALLY a warped, or rough cut board, stresses in the wood are gradually released, and the board will move. Thank you for the video. This is awesome. Paul
Awesome job man! Great video and explanation!
Well done video, Rod!
Yea your smile says it all. Amazing project and great idea.
+Ellinon Enosis Thank you!
Nice job, love your enthusiasm
Very nice video. I just purchased a planer and it looks like this will be the first thing I build for it. I appreciate your attention to detail and that you took the time to give us "screen shots" which will be valuable. I subscribed and look forward to more from you.
Well done! Great video, I'll be making one soon!
Great video Rod, I have a Jet JJP12 jointer so its no use to me, but wanted to comment about the fact that the sled is one super cool little tool for guys who dont have one.
Kudos to you my friend! What a great and well made video. Que padre!
Wow that’s pretty elaborate board! I use a 3/4” birch plywood with a 1/2” stop. Put the board that needs flattening and where the wobble is, I place shims and hot melt glue them in place to stabilize the board and run it through taking off just a little at each pass say about 1/32” or so until one side is flat and then I run the board through flat side down to flatten the other side. Works perfect!
You're a good explainer.
We miss you man! Hope you’re well and that we get to see some videos from your shop soon.
Pretty cool sled. I saw something similar in Fine Woodworking years ago. It seemed very cumbersome to use. This one looks really easy. Looking forward to the build video Rod!
+GuysWoodshop I think I know which one you are talking about, Guy. It was one that used little wooden triangles and a bungie cord or something. Yeah, you're right, it did seem quite cumbersome. Thanks so much for watching Guy, appreciate it!
Great project and very well presented. Looks like the build is a but time consuming but for sure the end results seem to justify it.
"Great project and very well presented. Looks like the build is a but time consuming but for sure the end results seem to justify it."
Thank you, Neil! To tell the truth, this project can be constructed in one weekend. It only took me three cuz of all the filming i did on it. i still love handplaning every surface i work on but Its nice having a dependable jig for flattening super wonky boards that would kick my butt if I tackled it by hand. Thanks for the feedback, its great, thank you so much, Neil! Have a good day bro!
