For anyone who hasn’t watched any of Steve’s course videos, this is very similar to the level of detail in every video of the course
Instructions unclear, we need a specific tightening sequence and N/m torque values (with tolerances)...

Cheeky. 😂👍

These "basic, how to" videos are a truly great idea. Kinda like having your dad looking over your shoulder, making suggestions. Thanks!
True
lol
He should do a "how to basic" video
No slap upside the head either!
That method only works well if the rip fence side of the board is perfectly straight. Use a long level against the fence that moves with the wood to cut the first edge perfectly straight. When you do the other edge use the now perfect edge directly against the fence.
I first saw your tip about packing tape on cauls to prevent glue sticking when I was first getting into woodworking. One of the best tips ever. Thanks!
I trick I learned when edge joining is to decide ahead of cutting how the boards will go together, mark them and then joint the edges 1 up, then the mating piece down. That way even if the blade is not exactly 90 to the table, the error will be corrected. It's the same thing as when cutting 45s for a frame, as long as the 2 pieces add up to 90 it doesn't matter if they are both exactly 45.
If you miter this way, the angle will be the same, but the cut edges won't line up because they'll be different lengths.
@@mikecurtin9831 Good point, but unless there are several degrees difference or the boards are very wide (or thick in this case) the difference is minor and, in most cases, not noticeable.
Same principle when edge jointing with a handplane. Clamp both boards together with the two 'outside' faces touching and plane the combined edge. If you're slightly off square the error on one edge is the mirror error on the other mating edge.
I’ve purposely cut on a 30’ angle and placed the angle away from first view. You can’t see it at all.
Steve, just wanted to say that your videos have helped me immensely since I started woodworking last year.
So helpful. I'm about to make a barn door and while the boards are much longer I can tell the techniques used will be immensely useful. Thank you.
Used this video for my first try at making a large 20 inch by 30 inch panel using 2x6's for an 1889 bell stand. Let me say, it came out perfect. Your joining techniques on the table saw worked as instructed. I did use bisquits to help line up and add to the surface area for the glue to adhere. Again, worked like a charm. Great video!!!!!
I like how you went back to the basics about joining boards without a jointer and planter. 👍
Steve, it seems like you read my mind this week. I have been contemplating how to successfully join imperfect boards without a jointer and planer. Now I can try it with a bit more confidence. Thx!
Thank you so much Steve I am making a lift top coffee table from pallet wood, and I need to edge join 4 strips of wood into panels. 4 of them, and all need to be the same size. This vid has given me confidence that I can achieve this I will use the table saw to, not only straighten both edges, but also ensure each piece is the same width.
For some reason I love the sound of the boards tapping the tabletop in the woodworking videos!
This is why I really like your videos. As a "beginner" I don't have a planer or jointer. Nothing worse than seeing a video about something I really want to build and it starts out with " take your pieces to your jointer (or planer)...". Your videos make me feel like I can do anything. Thank you.
YES! This is exactly the issue I've been having lately too. Seems like everything starts off with the expensive equipment that most beginners don't have. This is also the first "jointing without a jointer" video I've seen that's actually easy and simple to follow.
Who remembers all those ads for THE GRIPPER?
Very pleased to hear him say that out loud. :-)
I sure do. In fact one time....

My favourite is: "Damn it, Jim! I'm a doctor. Not a....... Micro-jig, the maker of the Gripper."
@@Dubs2 LOL!! Keep em coming
@@mikecurtin9831 me me 😍😍😍
Thank you for this video, Steve! I recently finished making a new top for a coffee table without a jointer/planer by doing one glue-up at a time, lots of cauls, and lots of clamps. And then lots of sanding! It turned out great.
I love see this
Hello Steve. I been following you for a good while, and tru this time with Covid 19. A lot of great and fun videos. This video shows how good you are to explain for the one of us, who dont do woodworking so often, but want to learn. Thank you and have a good week. Best wishes from Jan in Norway
I have struggled with this process a few times and not yet had great results - but eventually, I will get the hang of it. These are helpful tips, thanks for sharing.
I watched many of your instructional videos and I really enjoy them. They are always straight to the point and easy to understand. Thank you.
Steve - you really motivate me with simple speaking and consistently clear, easy to understand videos. Thanks for all you do!
Watching this Thursday morning in Australia 🇦🇺. Great video Steve 👍.
I've picked up so many great woodworking tips and techniques from you Steve. Thanks.
I was doing this over the weekend, the same boards, but 48 inch long. Used the same technique thanks to your previous videos. Thank you!!
Steve, Australia is 18 hours ahead of you in California so it’s actually Thursday there right now when you uploaded this. 😉
Thanks Steve - not too long - your videos are really helpful and I learn a lot, which will hopefully limit my mistakes and make me a better craftsman.
Really really enjoyed this video. Went through all the important steps and reminded me of your courses, too :D
Am really excited your helping out Antonio I have been following him over RMRS for years now
Steve - watching you tightening the clamps, wrapping hockey tape around the handle gives you a much better grip and makes it so much easier.
Good work. I like the way you explain things and point out the stuff that could go wrong. Thanks a bunch.
GREAT TIMING, I’m about to join two boards together, so I was looking in U Tube and this is exactly what I wanted to know, THANKS.
Awesome Update Steve ! Very Informative As Always !
I was literally looking up other videos, including your older one today on how to do this. I cant seem to get everything flush. Tomorrow, will be my third attempt at joining some boards. Thank you for the video.
Sorry Steve but the sun has just risen on a beautiful winter Thursday here, watching this while I brew my first coffee :) enjoy your summer Wendesday!
Yup, Australia is one day into the future. Well almost one day.
@@jeffk464 yep, we are extra special lol.
I love this, I’ve watched it a few times - thanks Steve
This is a great video for those of s just getting a woodshop set up. Great instruction!!
It's Thursday in Australia. Have a ripper day. All the best, Brian.
All the details and walk thru is really valuable, thanks!
Hand planes are underrated today! You can get second hand ones insanely cheap, and they’ve been effective for centuries. And they’re fun to use!
Fantastic tips, Steve! Thanks a lot! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Cauls... It's amazing that these things have a name
Thank you for all the effort put in this video.. Really apreciate it
You are such a great teacher.
Great video Steve. I’ve a project coming up that will require joining boards. I don’t have a table saw but was hoping to square the edges with my circular saw. I bought a biscuit joiner hoping that will help me line the boards up as I’ve only four clamps. Will likely resort to weight for the vertical pressure.
Great video and awesome explanation along the way. This is going toward the top of my 'to do' list to try out!
Thank you for a clear lesson. Beginner woodworker in need of advice!
Best Video I have seen for what I am working ON to keep the work "Flat" Thank You.
Great explanation, Steve!
What I like about Steve is the humility and lack of tool snobbery.
In New Zealand it’s winter Thursday. But spring is kinda starting to kick in.
I’m ten years late but I’ve been watching you religiously for a month. You rock Steve
ramsey, you absolute life saver.
You know Steve, I've been watching your videos for a few years ago, and miraculously you're getting younger and younger
Excellent advice and techniques as always!
Very good and accurate video. One tip: The pipe clamp jaws are going to cause indentations to the outer edges of this lamination. Best to use a full length very smooth-faced block along each edge and save a lot of cleaning up later. Also, after clamping, use a damp cloth and completely wipe down ALL squeezed out glue or you will have a nightmare when it comes to staining/finishing later on. (Ok, that was 2 tips).
Winter Thursday as I’m watching this :)
I learn so much from this gentleman,i do alot of woodwork here in south Africa,thakyou sir
Warm supposed Winter Wednesday here in South Africa 👍🏼
Super demo Steve, thanks! I think I'm ready to try my first glue up.
Loved the video watch the last jointing video over and over until i got it right. thanks steve
This is a great descriptive video, thanks!
I really enjoy all your videos thank you.
Very helpful, especially the cauls. Thank you.
Thanks Steve, got this one saved for future reference.
I had a very winter Wednesday here in Australia, complete with snow.
I’ve used the packing tape trick. That’s a good tip.
great tips for newbies
nice video , you have a good aptitude for teaching! ...thanks
Thanks Steve for sharing appreciate the video you have a blessed day
Good info, very usable. Thanks.
You did a excellent job explaining
Steve, I usually place both boards into a vice and using a plane plane two edges at the same time. I also plane so there is a very slight gape in about the middle of the boards. First plane to get the boards even then start the plane inside the end of the board and stop before you get to the end. Repeat this a couple of times starting the plane closer to the middle each time and stopping about the same distance from the end. You end up with a very small gap in the middle of the joint. Put glue on the edges of the board and clamp in the middle pulling the the center together, this will draw the ends really tight and negate the need for a gazillion clamps.
I want to thank you for the easy way your explain thing helping me a lot
I use a bisquet jointer for aligning the boards, works nicely
Greetings from a wintery South-Africa!
Biscuits work wonders and they're fast and easy! And biscuit joiners are affordable! Norm used em alot!
Good instruction. Thanks
Great video!
Its now Sunday in Oz, b***dy cold & wet. I usually start with 2 clamps under and one clamp over before getting fancy - a couple of times I had had to duck flying boards when I only had 2 clamps under and tightened them up. Yeah, got to watch tightening clamps too much as well - I was using Bessy K clamps and ended up putting big square dents in the edges of my panels made from hardware store plantation pine, I use less powerful & lighter bar clamps for most of that now - Bessey, Dubuque and generic.
In Australia it's winter Thurs lol😁 I'm still enjoying these videos
thank you @steveramsey...............brilliant vid
Excellent video
Thanks Steve
Thank you for showing that jointing can be done without a jointer. I hate it when a video is titled "Easy Way to Make a Yada Yada" , and the second step is "now run the boards through your jointer". My jointer? Don't recall ever having a jointer. Thanks, Steve.
Thanks Steve, as usual, great video! BTW, what’s the significance of the fallen star ⭐️ and skull sign 💀 on your wall?
Thanks for sharing..!!
Worth noting that though you didn't talk about it, you did alternate the 'inside-outside' grain direction. As you look at the ends of the boards, the grain 'arcs' should alternate back and forth like a sin wave.
Seems like it was to keep it from cupping over time, but it was stressed enough by the shop teacher that I have never done it other wise.
Love the videos.
Great video! Would be nice if you could show a clip of Antonio going through the same procedure.
Quick question about the cuts: do you put together the faces you have marked with an X?
Nicely done.
I smoked a joint while watching this and it left me a little off level, but flat. And hungry. That's life!
Thank you, this was super helpful! Is it possible to joint using circular saw and some jigs like the Kreg accu-cut or Kreg rip cut?
That’s definitely not enough clamps lol 😂
Seriously though thanks Steve! Can’t wait to see what i start on the weekend coming up!
I wish I saw this before I started working on my desktop project.
Im just noticing that your show has a similar roof structure to mine. My garage roof is supported only by the rafters going up from the walls to the spine in the roof. The spine itself is a piece or two of long 1x8, and its cracked in the middle and now the roof is beginning to sag. I've been meaning to go up and brace the roof through adding 2x6s across the rafters to also give me something to attach a ceiling to if I decide to. Curious how many beams you have going across your shop parallel to the ground and whether you've got issues with the roof sagging.
Youre like the carpenter dad i've never had
It's Wednesday

Hey Steve, your videos have helped me a lot getting started with woodworking. I made a jointer jig following one of your videos, why aren't you using that? I thought that if your board isn't perfectly straight, using your rip fence will only make the other side unstraight as well.
I was wondering the same thing. If we can just rip off the fence, why create a jointer jig?
Because the board was short is not an issue. The board was in full contact with the fence before it reached the blade so a straight cut can be made. If the board was longer and not fully supported by the fence that is when you can have the problem.
Yeah, Steve made a subsequent video explaining this, he said he had a lot of people asking the question.
Woo the next episode 😄
Quick question: what is the brand / where did you get the dust mask you wear when sawing?
In all fairness, I think it’s already Thursday in Australia. 😏
And it was very cold! In Melbourne at any rate. And by very cold, I mean not by American standards
Ive been i lock down since march i think its August
