I'm so grateful for this video. I wished I could have a personal friendship with such an experienced carpenter like you. You're explanations for this issue I've been experiencing could have saved me so much time I could have not wasted several weeks of fighting this very issue. I had no idea what was the problem I was having until now. I need a joiner. Thanks so much for your help. God Bless.
Best explanation yet! I like the fact you pointed out WHY to do the parallel planes first so you can then CHOOSE the grain direction when truing-up the edge. Makes perfect sense for the cleanest cut minimizing tear-out! Thank you for taking the time to post this video. This video needs more views!!!
Thanks. I'll let my Dad know. We are going to be doing a series on dust removal systems soon. He's had a book made for years and will be published before the video.
If only we all had a joiner and planer like that 😂. Really hard to build square stuff out of rough cut lumber with minimal tooling. It takes forever and still not perfect
Hi, just wanted to say I love your videos. I really get a lot out of them and learn new things every time I watch them do you do one on one private lessons by any chance lol you really get into a lot of detail and go step-by-step on every thing this is by far one of the if not the most detailed informative as well as entertaining videos that’s not boring but keeps my interest and still able to get a lot out of it. I really appreciate it. I love the analogy about the ribbon and the scissor that totally makes sense anyway thanks, looking forward to checking out a lot more of your content
Hello, Mr Wilson! I just found your channel when this video dropped. I guess the CZcams ghosts knew I needed to have another teacher! I do have a question about using a jointer, if you have a minute to answer. I have my Dad’s old (he bought it new somewhere between 1977 and 1980) Craftsman 4” jointer. My question is how much downward pressure should I apply as I run stock through? I seem to consistently end up with a thinner board at one end, by upwards of 1/16th of an inch. I always take the thinnest cut setting at 1/32”, I use parallels and a torpedo level to set my infeed table height to the top height of the blades, I use a depth gauge to set the outfeed table height, I keep all shavings cleared away and I keep my blades clean and sharp. I’ve deduced the issue has to be down to me. Well, I think it’s me, anyway 😂 I feel like I use a steady pressure along with a steady pace but I’m not getting the correct result. Could you share any insight as to the possibility of where I am using the machine incorrectly? Thank you in advance for your help and understanding!
Push downward just enough to keep the board flat, but as much as possible on the outfeed table as soon as there is sufficient material to do so. Outfeed tables should not be adjusted. Depth is set by only adjusting infeed table. Check my video on HOW TO ADJUST A JOINTER. Pay attention to the pair of boards used to set the adjustment wheels!
Hello, new subscriber here. Loves the Lesson, but could you adjust the volume on your mic? It was very hard hearing you and I had to turn my speakers up all the way haha 😄
Hello, I am new in woodworking. I noticed it is a great idea sorting out both faces before planing edges because of the finding grain direction. Sometimes edges tear out. I have question: I am wondering why we have to do final step on the table saw? Can we make both edges parallel to each other on the jointer without using the table saw? The reason I ask this my table saw is not that powerful enough to have clean cut with oak therefore, I prefer jointer for both edges to make them 90 degree. Thank you!
SLAVI KRAEV sorry for the really late reply. We will do a video on that. One reason you may have trouble with your table saw is your blade width. Use a thin kerf blade. Your saw will feel like it has 30% more power. We only use those blades.
why don't they sell square lumber? i'll even pay more! i don't have time to mill it, period. i have ratchet straps and glue, just wanna get them glued together to make my table.
Houyhnhnm lumber comes from a living source and moves with changes in humidity. Gluing them together has to be done properly. The end grain has growth rings that can be seen. Like a smile and a frown. Flip those on their edges so the now the “C” is back to back. So reverse “C” against it. Open side of the “C” not touching each other. Then the side grain “the length of the board” should all be the same. Every board grain going down hill from one edge to the other. Explained in video. Sorry for the late reply
Thank you Bill for your most excellent video.
Man, I sure wish you were my shop teacher 30 years ago..I'm glad I found your channel. It's obvious you were a very good teacher by this video.
Great compliment. Thank you. 😁
Every high school needs a wood shop! We have lost our way!
He talks like a shop teacher! Love it!
Because he was for many years. I’m his son.
The 3 c's of instruction. Calm, cool, and collected
Thank you for the compliment.
wow what a gentle, clear and practical tutorial. don't stop!

Thanks. I hope everything works out for you. I do recommend the “Jointer table wheel adjustment” video as well.
Best tutorial on squaring a board on the internet
Thank you

My favorite ww vid on YT, well done.
Glad you like it. 👍 Method matters.
Great video! Thank you, sir
Glad you liked it!
Thank you, I love the detail in your explanations, and your patience.
Glad it was helpful!
Great instruction sir!! I came over from a recommendation of your son on a FB woodworking group. Clicked the bell!!
The best instruction I have ever seen. All based on experience.
Thanks I’ll let him know. 👍
Excellent presentation. Makes me sorry I didn't take shop in high school. Thanks!
Hey Uncle Bill! What a great idea to share your wealth of woodworking knowledge. Lots of Wilson love!
Thanks for the tip about the gloves.
You’re welcome
This is one of the best woodworking tutorial videos I have watched and I watch a ton! Thanks for making it.
Thanks. I'll let my Dad know. We are going to be doing a series on dust removal systems soon. He's had a book made for years and will be published before the video.
@@wilsonsfinewoodworking awesome I just subscribed so I don't miss it.
Thanks, patient and complete explanation
great example of the ribbon & scissors causing bowing :) thx that really made it super clear :)
Thank you 👍

Thanks you for the compliment. I used to do one on ones, but no longer do this because I don’t have the business or insurance anymore.
such a great communicator, thank you for this
Thanks and you’re welcome. 😀
Yep....Talks like my old woodshop teacher
Thanks a lot!!! I was looking for this kind of a lesson for very long time. Really appreciate it!
Wow! Great Information
Thank you
Thank you for sharing your knowledge....
It's still an insight however pretty much so late I am. Thank you so much though.
Great video. Thanks for sharing

A quality lumber dealer will actually sell square on 4 or square on 2 sides lumber, don't expect it from a big box store
