I’m SO glad I found this video because I’ve ALWAYS wondered!!! Your description and graphics were excellent!!! I am so impressed, I subscribed before I even left this comment!! 😊I can’t wait to check out your other videos! Thank you! Patti
Super super smart to say that it's like cooking and the boards are part of your recipe because you can buy convenience ingredients readily chopped onions, pre diced peppers, and more... Sometimes you buy ingredients that were prepared a very specific way that your kitchen can't handle. But sometimes you have a mixer, blender, sous-vide machine.
The graphics are the best, I now understand how it works Thank you for your efforts Would it be possible you explain hand planer and electric hand planer the way way? :)
You’ve got another subscriber here! I’ve been in carpentry most of my life (Framing and roughshod). I’m now branching into woodworking rather than building and if anything else on your channel is as clear and concise as this I’m going to love EVERYTHING you put out.
For all beginners or weekend woodworkers that can’t justify spending full price don’t forget my favorite which Barter. I get all my tools that way. In 2 years I have upgraded my whole shop by 90% bartering.
I bought a Wen planer as I thought that it would be my best initial option with getting the jointer next. And thanks for the great explanation in the differences. "Unfortunately" now, I need to get a jointer! 😂😂😂
Outstanding!!!! - Sir, I finally know what the difference is between a planer and jointer. And how to fix my wood, Without theses graphics I'd be scratching my head looking at my twisted, bow, wood.
Really great work mate! I especially love the graphics, they make things much easier to understand :) Would be nice if you can make more videos like this
Very informative and easy to understand! Thanks Aaron. While I knew the purpose for each tool, but didn't necessarily understand the reason...but I do now!
Hey, Aaron, perhaps you know already, but if not, I’m thinking that you want to know. Jonathan Katz-Moses and Shaun Boyd have opened a makers space by the SB airport. Thanks for the video.
Did I miss it? Apologies if I did, why cant I just use the jointer all the way around?? Like, why cant I just use the jointer to get the thickness I want...
I believe it is because with a jointer you get a flat side, but it is only flat with reference to itself. So you could have two flat sides but they would not be parallel. Think of a shim. The planer cuts the board so the board has a uniform thickness, and thus parallel.
This video clarified the differences of these two tools, but also how the jointer seems to need a different name, LOL These should be called a mill machine.
Wow! Awesome video, fantastic explanation, and even better graphics. It can only be assumed the 👎 dislikes were in error. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge & skill.
The planer section was very good information for a beginner, well done there, but I don't think you did the router section justice. You didn't explain how a router can only be used to make one edge and one surface flat. If I were a first timer, it would sound like the router is doing the exact same job as the planer, and I could just use it to make one side flat, then flip it over and do the other side. It needs to be explained that this would indeed make two flat surfaces, but which aren't parallel to each other. Doing all four surfaces on a router would result in a trapezoid shape where neither of the surfaces or edges actually match each other. I know this was a very confusing concept to me when I started learning, but it needs to be learned quickly before a beginner thinks that they only need a router and not a planer as well, you can't have one tool without the other (not easily and not without a lot of extra work, anyway)
As long as the pieces are relatively flat to begin with I usually just use a planer when your clamping put 2 clamps going across the strips that will help keep them as flat as possible
This is easily the most concise, accurate, succinct explanation of the functionality and importance of each machine that I've ever seen. Thank you!
Much appreciated!
I have tremendous respect for the craftsmen in this world. We need more of them. Thank you for this video.
Graphics made it much easier to grasp. Thanks.
Love those sweet graphics!
By far the best explanation out there. Thank you!
Agreed!

Very educational, animations are awesome! Thank you for such a brilliant video, even 5 years after posting, it brings value to people!
This was extremely helpful. Thanks so much man!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I never fully understood the difference between the two until now.
The graphics are the best, I now understand how it works
Thank you for your efforts
Would it be possible you explain hand planer and electric hand planer the way way? :)
asked google this question and your video came up. This is great Mr. FIX it DIY!
Absolutely FANTASTIC edition, narrative, everything!
You’ve got another subscriber here! I’ve been in carpentry most of my life (Framing and roughshod). I’m now branching into woodworking rather than building and if anything else on your channel is as clear and concise as this I’m going to love EVERYTHING you put out.
Agreed! The BEST explanation of the difference in function between jointers and planers that I've been able to find. I FINALLY understand! Thank you!

The graphics and visuals aids are what made it easy to understand and made me subscribe. Keep up the extra effort.
I am thinking of investing in both, and this is really really helpful. Thanks!
The power of animation! Thank you!
Very well and clearly explained. Nice job.

Exactly the video i needed. Thank you!
Amazing! Thanks for detailed explanation.
Great video! very concise, yet informative. It helped me to understand the difference, that I could not get. Thank you, and all the best!
Outstanding!!!! - Sir, I finally know what the difference is between a planer and jointer. And how to fix my wood, Without theses graphics I'd be scratching my head looking at my twisted, bow, wood.
Wish I had these tools. Maybe one day! Thanks the video!
wow just one video and im ready for workshop 201. Thanks bro
Great explanation with awesome graphics
This was an exact answer to the question I had. Concise and Very Well Illustrated. Thank you so very much!!
Thank you for the best explanation about the two items. Well done.
Thanks for that concise and understandable explanation. The animations were very helpful with an understanding the differences.
Wow the graphics are so good
thanks! perfectly clear and thorough while brief.
underrated educational video here!
Great graphics and explanation. Subscribed!
Good breakdown, Aaron! The illustrations were very clear!
Thank you this was helpful, we need more videos like this that dumb things down for complete beginners like me😅
Really great work mate! I especially love the graphics, they make things much easier to understand :)
Would be nice if you can make more videos like this
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Very informative and easy to understand! Thanks Aaron. While I knew the purpose for each tool, but didn't necessarily understand the reason...but I do now!
Fantastic explanation! Animations very helpful too!
Thank you for the information. Just starting with wood working and this explained the difference very simply. Subscribed.
very good. I like the animation.
Excellent explanation.
Great Video Aaron! Everything starts with the basics
if I turn the wood on the other side, would a jointer be able to make a uniform thickness lumber?
It may not be parallel to the other side so I think the answer is no.

Thanks for the video.
Extremely helpful. Thank you!
Excellent instructional video! Thank you!
Nice vid, need to find your planer jig vid
absolutely fantastic video
Great job explaining the process. Thanks!
Awesome video man!

I believe it is because with a jointer you get a flat side, but it is only flat with reference to itself. So you could have two flat sides but they would not be parallel. Think of a shim. The planer cuts the board so the board has a uniform thickness, and thus parallel.
Always something to learn 🙏🙏🙏
So if I have a 3/4" thick piece of pine and want to make it half inch thick I should use the planer
Excellent explanation...👌
Thank you sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar!
Outstanding video Aaron.
Very helpful, thank you 🙂
You rock, thanks for the great explanation!
Thank you! Definitely subscribed after watching!
Great explanation. Thanks.
Such a easy video to comprehend.
Ty!! I needed this!
Super helpful! Thanks!
Very helpful thank you for the information
Awesome! Very, very well done. Thank you.
Quick question, what about electric hand planers? Still as a planer, does it only make an even thickness? Or does it function like a jointer?
its extremely hard to use bought it ruined 10 boards been sitting since
It is helpful. Thank you!
Great explanation
This video clarified the differences of these two tools, but also how the jointer seems to need a different name, LOL These should be called a mill machine.
Thanks for sharing,,very informative
Great explanation! Thanks!
Sweet vid! thanks. Helped so much

Great video. Thank you!
If I was making a cutting board would you recommend a planer or jointer?
As long as the pieces are relatively flat to begin with I usually just use a planer when your clamping put 2 clamps going across the strips that will help keep them as flat as possible
Very helpful video thank you
What does it take to cut a 2x6 into two 1x6? In other words, how do split the board longways. Is that possible?
A band saw would work well for this job.
Great video well explained
Fantastic video ！
thank you! I finally understand.
Thanks. I was confused in that I thought the planer made flat boards.
Common misconception and CAN be true IF you already have a flat board on one side
I have to admit, I don't understand why a planer would remove more material than a jointer to correct a cupped board.
Thank you!
I think the main reason you want straight board is because it's extremely dangerous to rip cut bow warp on a table saw
Can i buy wood that is pre treated?
Great video.
Wow I’m a newbi that’s a. Great video even I can understand thank you wood brother……
wouldnt a jointer be able to make both sides flat and uniform thickness if you simply flip the board to attack it from both sides?
Dumb question. Is a planer the same as a thicknesser?
Great info! Thanks!!
Thanks
Very nice video thank u brother
I wish I watched this yesterday..
Did you do the animation yourself?
