You are the first person who has ever explained how much pressure I should be placing in the downward direction. Thank you! This has been driving me crazy for over a year. What a wonderful video
Yes, for sure. I just used my new jointer last night and thought I had to push down when I just needed to push through. I really appreciate this video.
Its been 16 years since I used a jointer in HS shop class. Started using my new one a few nights ago. Had a hard time getting the bow out of the board. Too much down pressure. Im glad there are videos like this that clearly explain everything. Especially when youre doing this at home and theres no shop teacher to help you anymore lol
Very nice concise teaching with no distracting music or extra words. I can learn well here. All those extra words are best saved for after work over a beer or two. Thanks
Great tutorial. I inherited a jointer and became very frustrated with my results. It turns out it was an exercise in what not to do. Can't wait to put my new found knowledge to the test. BTW-I watched a number of other "jointer basics" videos before this one. This one was so much more informative than any I viewed prior to this one.
I always walked away slightly confused after watching "How to use a Jointer" Now i actually understand! Best tutorial ive seen, and ive seen at least 20
This video is possibly the best jointer instructional I’ve seen. It is good that you separate the set up process from the operation method. The best takeaway for me was the finesse needed, you will get to know the “feel” of proper jointing. This is something you need to learn as you use and gain familiarity with jointing. I can’t add much but once you become successful jointing you will be so satisfied with the results and it will improve your projects.
getting back into woodcraft 10 years after high school shop class and your videos have been super helpful in getting me back into kicking up sawdust! Wonderful vid, nice and concise!
one of the best how to videos I've ever seen . Some videos show the guy almost using his entire body weight pushing the board down on the jointer. Amazing what knowledge and experience can teach.
Fantastic video. Thorough, well spoken, and void of useless information. Watched your thorough and honest review of the Kapex and now this. You should not only have way more subscribers, but tool manufacturers should be giving you woodworking tools to review if they are serious about their tools. Would LOVE to see a review of the Delta Cruizer miter saw. From your Kapex review, I now know why we cannot get more precise cuts on any or our DeWalts...especially 5 1/4" material cut upright against the fence, and large crown nested. I'm sure it doesn't help with them getting thrown into a van everyday either. I will share these videos with my guys so they can see just how important the small nuances are to getting the finished look we strive for. Thanks!
Thank you. There are so many videos on CZcams that don't actually get the critical points of how to use a jointer across, or flat out advise the wrong approach. This is the first one that actually provides that critical info in a really clear way. Great job, and again - thanks!
Great Video. I just realized I push diagonally and did not realize how bad that is to do. I have had some boards push away from the fence that way and didn't realize why. No I do. TY
This is exactly what a beginner needs to get going with a jointer. I can’t tell you how frustrated I would get trying to make boards flat and couldnt figure out why it wasn’t working. Great techniques on the right way to joint.
This is an excellent tutorial, thank you so much for your time and sharing your knowledge! This explained all of the ways I was using the jointer improperly and wasting lumber. I look forward to the next time I mill a board!
thankyou so much for clarifying the pressure technique. i just used mine and had a bend when looking down my board. i knew it was something to do with my technique. lack of experience. it was lovely and square though. my next mission now i know about the correct pressure is to make a A0 sized picture frame for my art print
This is exactly the video I needed. I jointed a board for the first time yesterday and couldn't figure out why the heck it wasn't working.....too much pressure. Thank you!!!!
I have watched 4 how to use jointer videos so far, by well known woodworking CZcamsrs, and this video is the absolute best by far. The other videos were okay and did address what you have said here, but not all in the same video, and none of them mentioned finesse and the edge jointing technique. Well done sir!
Honestly, I went through 5 videos and felt like I didnt know what was going on. This was the first video where I felt confident I could explain to someone else what a jointer does and how to use it.
Man, I want to hug your neck! I been fighting with my jointer for so long only to find out that I have been fighting myself. That is a mighty fine jointer as well!
Thank you thank you thank you!! My thank yous thank you!! I have had a jointer for about 3 months now. I have struggled to get any board square! Now I know what the 411 is on the process! Again, thank you!!
I’ve been having an ongoing issue with my jointer. We’ll, now I realize I’m the problem. I’ve watched a lot of jointer videos. They’ve all be good but this one is THE BEST
Only just stumbled across this video now, but what a fantastic video! So much great information here with thorough reasoning behind the 'why' of it all. I'm working on a new project/video at the moment that requires a lot of twisted & warped hardwood to be planed & jointed. I couldn't have found it at a better time. Thanks from Australia! 🇦🇺
I've been fighting with my jointer and this is the most thorough explanation I've seen. You may have saved my jointer from the wrath of Thors hammer. Thank you
As soon as I saw this excellent instructional video I had to subscribe .I'm looking forward to seeing more like it on different machines thank you so much for sharing!
I don’t know why it took me this long to find your channel, but I’m glad I did. This is EXACTLY what I needed to learn about using a jointer. For me, it has been the most frustrating tool in the shop. Now I know why. Thanks for a superbly done video.
I think I've seen every video and read every article on jointer use and this is by far the best. You've provided lot's of great new information. Very much looking forward to viewing your other videos.
Omg thank you for this video, I'm just getting into wood working and got my first jointer. Every video I Hage seen just says put a bunch of force on the out fees to keep board flat and when i went to joint a twisted 4x4 it just kept coming out crooked on one end. Now that I watched this tho I understand why. I knew there had to be something I didn't fully understand and you explaining when and where to use correct pressure just saved me a ton a stress!
This was a game changer for me. I struggled through two jointers and couldn't get square boards no matter how much I fine tuned them. Thank you for for your help!
Well done, sir. Precise and informative information. Something that many videos are lacking. Very well done, thank you. This is the most helpful video concerning jointing that I have viewed. Technique, precision and of course safety. 5 stars.
This was a great instructional video. I’m new to woodworking and just got my first jointer information about the grain direction and made a lot of sense and was the first time I’ve ever heard that. I am curious, however about how does one joint a cupped board. My subscription has been earned. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and welcome to Woodworking!! Cup board follows all the same steps, concave side down, identify grain direction and push horizontally with a small downward force over the cutter head. 😁👍🏻
Very good presentation. I just got a jointer and have been doing it in the wrong way. Thank you for the in depth knowledge on the matter. Love the design of your pusher and will make one.
Very useful 🤘🤘 thanks a lot, I’m just a beginner woodworker playing in my garage shop and I got to say, al these woodworking tools can be quite intimidating some time 😅 I remember the first time turning on my table saw, that was scary!! I just ordered a metabo combination planer/jointer and this helped me a lot getting started!! Today I will build that great looking Push stick before I wil get my planer one of these days!
Excellent material, very clearly presented. However, please use a lavalier or other form of “close mic” technique. The reflected sound in your highly reverberant shop impairs the audibility of your instructions.
@@thebuilditchannel8609 I just bought a jointer, watched lots of videos but when i went to use it, bad results! Your video cleared up a lot of misconceptions i had. One question i do have, how do you joint a long board? Hard to put light pressure on the outfeed table while trying to reach back 6 feet and push the wood forward - in fact impossible, arms not long enough - so what to do?
Walking The Camino Longer boards take a little more finesse. Keep the pressure over the knives the same and use only enough downward pressure to move the board forward. As you keep making passes the board will get flatter, I also use a long piece of wood with a notch to help guide the piece across.
this video is fantastic. i've been having troubles jointing some boards, i keep getting a bow in the middle. there's a chance the jointer i'm using is too small for the length of board i'm trying to joint, but the tips in this video are great. i'm certain i've been pushing down too hard, and because the end of the boards are off of the out-feed before the pass is finished, i think i'm taking too much material off the middle. time to try again using your tips, thanks!
This is the most thorough video I’ve found on the subject. One question, at 7:40 you say not to keep pressure on outfeed side of board. If you don’t won’t this result in a curved board? All the other videos on jointer technique advise holding the board down on the outfeed side. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thanks!! The board your jointing isn’t flat until the last couple passes which means it won’t be making full contact with the out-feed table until it is flat. Pushing down on the out-feed side can Warp or twist the board making the process take longer and having to remove more wood. Hope that answers your question!
That was a smooth video 👌😎 must have run that through the jointer 👍 very informative - first video I've ever watched of yours so now I've subscribed! Cheers
Awesome video man thanks for putting it together. Found you through your saw setup vids after getting a 780 that needs a bunch of work. Looking forward to the jointer setup vid
I have looked up so many videos on jointing as I never got a great product using mine. NONE of them described the light touch and not putting force on the outfeed table. I have been doing everything wrong thank you.
Thanks!! I unfortunately don’t have the dimensions off hand, I can check next time I’m at the shop, but It really comes down to what you find comfortable.
You are the first person who has ever explained how much pressure I should be placing in the downward direction. Thank you! This has been driving me crazy for over a year. What a wonderful video
