Seems people want to know how to build a house with no tools as I read the comments. The answer is... you can't build a house if you don't have the tools. Your video is really clear and I thank you for it.
Jim. Merry Christmas. Just discovered your videos. I'm building a Circular 42" Dining room table for my daughter, I don't have access to a planer or joiner. I just bought a Hitachi job site Table Saw. How can I cut the straightest and squarest boards for glue up. ps I'm going to use a Makita RD 1101 router and Circle cutting router jig from Rockler to rout the circle. The bit is Whiteside Router Bits RU5200T Three Flute with Spiral Bit, Up Cut Solid Carbide 1/2-Inch Cutting Diameter and 2-Inch Cutting Length. I'm going to use multiple passes to cut through the wood. Thanks Tom Cribbin
I do not have a table saw, jointer or planner. What did you do at the end? I also heard/read somewhere that the wood should be used as soon as possible after jointing-planning since it can warp and change shape size due to humidity and temperature changes.
Good primer. I have often seen videos where they joint one side, then turn it 90 deg then joint a perpendicular side. Then go to the plainer and then the table saw. Is one way better than the other?
John Boulton - Then you'll have to do it the slow, old-fashioned way with hand saws, hand planes, and lots and lots of practice. I plan to do some of these things after I retire. But in the meantime, I have a full-time job working 40+ hours a week and a house to maintain. I think most people are in a similar situation.
Planers are more difficult to maintain. That particular piece of wood Jim was squaring would have created a lot of wear & tear on the planer blades to work it down to flat. It would have taken many, many passes over the planer, but only one pass on the tablesaw. You can run the cut piece through the planer for a final smoothing skim cut if you'd like.

What if a person does not have jointer and planner, or even a table saw?

If anyone already owns jointers and planers, most likely they already have this stuff fingered out.......What about the rest of us!!!!!
whot if one does not have a planner or a jointer or a table saw ? not all of us have the space or the finds for these items.

Why not use the planer again for step 4?
@@BrokenClockGenius The planer gives smoother results

not everyone can afford a planer or joiner would have like to see how real intermediate people do it not a shop
