I get asked a lot about which tool to purchase first, a Planer or a Jointer? I always say PLANER because you can get around not having a Jointer with a few simple jigs!

I absolutely appreciate that machine sounds are edited down. It's ear-jarring when you're listening to someone's video with earphones on and they suddenly switch on a planer, table saw or god forbid, a router.
Glad you appreciate it.
I can’t count how many time I have seen these techniques demonstrated on youtube, but you put them all together from start to finish articulated, by far, better anyone yet. Thank you.
Exactly!
yes most videos are „let me tell you for 20 minutes how cool my jig is, also play Raid Shadow Legends“
So awesome to hear! Glad it was useful!
This is what happens when you get a woman behind a saw...
They explain things much better because they know that some people don't have a base of understanding to work from.
But seriously, thank you so much. I got most of the information, but I was missing most of the theory behind the techniques. I've been following your channel for awhile now and this is usually the 1st place I go to understand something that I just can't grasp.
I know this comment is almost a year old, but I completely agree. Thank you for taking the time to explain each step so thoroughly. I just subbed. 🙂
I've seen so many "joining without a joiner" videos. This one was easily the best. Most involved making a crazy rig which was more ambitious than the actual project. Thanks, keep up the good work 👍
I never really understood how to square a board until I watched this video. It`s all clear as a bell now. Thank you.
Awesome
This is one of the absolute BEST explanations of milling and 'why' you do certain things to process rough lumber.
So awesome to hear!
You really deserve it. It's awesome to watch your skills, knowledge, and easiness to teach others while doing each step. Again, I deeply appreciate the time you took to reply my comments. God bless you, your family as well and all those who share their comments as well.

You should be speaker of the house 🏡
Q: what’s that about using odd number and odd number when you X them 9
You talk smooth and get to the point that you want us to “understand “
For me I think you are tough and sensitive,kind,caring,who likes to teach and get others that there is always there is a light and way to get the problem solve.
Good for you learn a lot if I missed some point you explain it again in the different way of
Wish you well
@@3x3CustomTamar as a ticketed carpenter, I have to say this is the most clearly laid out explanation I've seen in person, or on video to explain these concepts. I'll be subscribing

Hello. I'm from Russia. I want to thank Tamar for the wonderful videos! Very interesting videos. I don't know English well, but I watch it with great pleasure. I wish America health, success in business and peace. With respect!
Thanks! Glad you like them!
PARANOIDOR....And your English is just fine!
@@dngriffiths8105 Thank you
Watch and learn, is a good method.
May the Lord bless Russia. I have learned a little about your history, geography, culture and language. The people can get along well. It's the bankers that cause trouble. If you and I get along, there's not money to be made.
I am now a student of the University of Tamar. You were born to teach.
☺️☺️🤘
Well said and kudos to that...... she is legendary......!!
Most definitely born to teach. Phenomenal video. Thank you
Couldn't agree more! I don't have the money for a jointer, but have so much rough wood! Now... I don't need one (yet).... Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I can't wait to try it.
@@jeffanderson8885 agreed !
I have watched many woodworking videos but you explain in clear simple terms about your process. Good job. Should be more like you. The men who make woodworking videos although interesting pieces of furniture speak so quickly that it becomes a jumbled explanation. Many try to be funny but it's not.
I've seen these tricks a few times on other channels, but never have they been so clearly explained.
So awesome to hear!
... and charmingly presented 🙂
EXCELLENT VIDEO!! I love how you explain everything leaving nothing to guess why or how. The quality of your videos just keep getting better and better!!! ❤️
So awesome to hear! Glad you liked it!
This!!!
I agree! Very thorough explanation of all the steps for the process (including jig building tips and alternatives where possible). It's like 5 videos in one.
Just got my first planer and this was super helpful! Your videos explaining things are some of my favourites. Thanks for taking the time to make this kind of content
Probably one of the best, most thorough videos on this process.
A sure sign of a competent woodworker is the ability to improvise, make jigs, and build one's own tools. You have the added skill of teaching these in a very approachable way.
Thank you for creating such great content!
☺️☺️ so glad you like it!
Totally agree, here!
competent wood worker if you only knew how dangerous what she is doing you'd never attempt it.
@@geoffreyopulski138 Determining danger is a matter of knowledge, competence, awareness, and fear.
If it's too dangerous for you, don't do it.
@@jimstevetom It's not aout me it's about all the begginners just learning starting to learn this trade.
Love it - that should be your motto "There's always a jig!"
Your explanation is nothing short of “superb”! Thank you!!
The best way to get around no jointer is - get good with hand planes - a good jointer and fore plane, well sharpened and set up can give you a flat face and edge to work from in very little time.
STRONG video. So much useful information, and so much "why" instead of just "how."
Definitely one of your best!
So awesome to hear! Glad you liked it!
Absolutely agree with you, Vincent. I wish all woodworkers-youtubers would clarify why they are doing what they do the way they do. I am just a weekend woodworker, with just a few power tools, and this is the type of master class that really help me.
thank you , teacher..!!!!!... btw , was that cypress ?
@@guitarman_3693 nope! Ash
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT video. I’m at best a couple of weekends a year warrior and your explanation and ability to communicate was perfect. Oh BTW, I was a Director of Communication for three global organizations and I wish people spoke as precisely and cogently as you. Kudos.
I'm just starting to get into woodworking, and this video was AWESOME. I was anxious about how I would mill stuff, and this all makes so much sense.
This is incredible! So many tips and tricks on why things happen with the wood that I sometimes couldn’t seem to figure out!!
I've been working through a big stack of lumber from our family farm using the planar methods from this video. Thanks so much for making it!
Always pushing and carrying so much "invisible" lumber when talking, this is some dedication to the craft X-D
😂😂😂😂
What a fantastic video ! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this out there. It has really simplified the whole process and will save a bundle of time and money ! Seasons greetings from the UK.
You are an amazing teacher! Thank you so much for this terrific video. I have a planer, but not a jointer. I am so going to try this technique!
Ok, I figured it out...
I'm in England.
What you call a planer, we call a thicknesser
What you call a jointer, we call a planer.
I've learnt to do simultaneous translation, and it all makes sense.
Keep up the good work Tamar; I love the way there isn't a second wasted in your films, and the aesthetic of your furniture.
Haha! Glad it all makes sense now 😂
I am a little "elevated" at the moment, but i found this video probably one of the most important ones in my woodworking learning. I had a really hard time understanding how referencing off a guide once and creating "flat", without squaring it up. You explained it so well and i really appreciate it!
Explained very well. You made this so clear that a newbie such as I can easily understand. Well done!
This is great news. I’ve been debating on buying a jointer but know I can buy more wood. Thanks 🙏
Great video Tamar, I was woodworking for a long time before I learned the planner sled trick. A couple of tips, my planner pulls my board forward, so I always run the sled through with the end with the stop block first so it is pushing against the block. When you are looking to square the first edge of the board on the table saw, pay attention to the grain on the face of your board. You may have some sap wood that you would like to trim off or you may have straight grain (think quarter sawn or riff sawn) running down the board where you want to plan to keep the orientation straight instead of having it running off the side of the board at one time.
OMG! One of the best videos I've seen in months, especially since I purchased my planer and am still just a year in of woodworking. You added info that you didn't have to, yet I needed to hear it!! Thank you so much for advancing all of our woodworking knowledge. Keep em comin!!!
Awesome
@@3x3CustomTamar I have to say, I agree with beast, here. Most videos simply say "here's how!" and leave it at that. I LOVE the way you presented the content and gave explainations as to WHY it works, not just the mere fact that it works. You answered all my current questions in the best way possible AND you've earned a new subscriber tonight. Thank You!
This is THE guide for milling skillz. Nailed it. Even when others have already covered it. Thank you!
Tamar, it's truly a pleasure to watch you explain and give us viewers of your channel a way to solve different problems. Thanks for sharing your innovative ideas.
Finally i’ve got this explained in a easy way. Thanks Tamar,
Glad you found it useful!
@@3x3CustomTamar ..."I had a board that used to be all twisted and wonky"....LOL. I can relate. I have known a few people who used to be all twisted and wonky, but I won't go there. ;-)
@@rayjr62 😂
Wow you’re a rock star. You explained this so much more thoroughly. As a dude you’re expected to know so much of this stuff so they just show don’t tell.
I’m new to woodworking, just started to do some basic stuff (trim, moulding, etc) and kinda got the bug. Your channel is a gold mine of amazing info 🙏
Greeting, Tamar: Your videos are the best! I watch many woodworking videos, and yours are the best I have seen. They are very informative, and your presentation/delivery is easy to follow, appropriate, and watching/listening to you is very entertanining. Thank you for your efforts to help us less skilled woodworkers get better at what we love to do. You're the best. All the best to you. ~Robert
Wow, that really blew my mind! Been looking all over to see how it gets done without a jointer and you even explained it so perfectly. Many thanks, Tamar. 💯
Awesome to hear! Glad it was helpful!
I'm no woodworking artisan - I live in an apartment very high in the sky, for one - but I watch your videos because you come across as the sweetest, kindest, most articulate talented person I could ever have to explain complex art-forms to me. Ever.🙏🙏❤️
Extremely helpful. Trying to get my own garage workshop started, and this helps me save space and lots of money. Thank you!
Best video on this topic (and style) I have seen on the web! Thanks
Your explanations of all the steps are the best I’ve ever seen. I feel like I just learned more in this one video than all other woodworking videos I’ve seen combined! Thank you! Can’t wait to watch more of your videos!
Glad it was helpful!
This was great! The most thorough, concise, and enjoyable video I've seen about this process
So awesome to hear! Thanks!
As a newer woodworker you are awesome in explanations of tools so thank you
Great video! Thanks for breaking it down so simply. You just saved me from a few mistakes in advance on my next project!
You're amazing. The video was pretty clear and I love how even though it's an intimidating process to beginners, you made it seem so easy to try. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Love watching all your videos. It’s nice to see how to do so many different things and jugs to perform complex operations in a simple and easy way. THANK YOU
TONY
Thanks! Always more than one way to achieve the same goal 🤘
AWESOME JOB on the instructions, Tamar, as usual!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
You explained it so well in an easily understandable way. Really thank you.
This is one of the clearest explanations I think I've ever heard. Thanks!
Awesome to hear
You have quickly become one of my favorite woodworking channels. You have a wonderful skill and a great mind for problem solving. You are a blast to watch and so easy to learn from!
Awesome to hear!
I really appreciate how well you speak and explain things; you are a great teacher!!🤗🤗
What a marvelous idea! I've been looking into getting a planer or a jointer but I just don't have enough room for the both of them in my garage. This willl probably be my next major purchase! Thanks for the easy to follow explanation and the in depth look at the cause and effects of your process!
Have a great day!
Thank you, Tamar!! I just bought that mac daddy Dewalt planer this past weekend and now I know how to get the most use out of it
Yes!!! It’s going to change your life. Ha
This is amazing! I’ve taken a few woodworking classes using industrial quality machines, but seeing it done with the tools you have makes me want to get back into it, without investing in a huge workshop and tools
Thank you!
Awesome to hear! Go for it!
That was awesome! The tool agent didn’t told me that a jointer machine is optional specially when budget matters the most. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Very clear and concise explanation and demonstration. I wish I found this video a couple years ago. Well done.
Out of many videos I’ve watched to try and get my head around squaring up pieces, this is easily the best! Great explanations - thanks.
So awesome to hear!
She is really charming. Fantastic breakdown and explanation for this process from beginning to end. Well done.
What a wonderful demonstration of how to square up boards when not using a jointer with perfect clarity. Thank you so much.
I have wondered about the positioning on the table saw jig for jointing since I first saw them, you are legit the first person to explicitly say " it does not matter" thank you!! gonna go try mine out right now!
I’m just a hobbyist with a few tools but I wanted to pick up a planer (or jointer) next and wasn’t sure how to proceed. Thanks for the information explained in a clear way for beginners.
Awesome. Glad it helped!
Good advice Eric!
Brilliant tutorial with lots of great advice along the way. I'm just waiting on a Triton TPT125 that's coming today and this will really help when I come to mill my own pieces. Many thanks.
Awesome!
Very helpful video! I’m just starting to get into woodworking with some simple projects, and I loved the way you explained this. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the info. Using that thickness planer jig sure helps with milling wide faces. You definitely convinced me to get a jointer.
I’ve watched this multiple times, now put it to practice several times with my thickness planer and I’m so grateful for these tips!! Now watching again to see if there’s anything I’ve missed, and continue trying to master it!!
Awesome!
Best explanation I have seen of this. It gave me several new ideas. Thank you. I will also add that, next to the tablesaw the jointer is probably the most dangerous tool in the shop. A co-worker recently cut finger tips off, will be needing surgery. All the methods you showed here are safer than that. I also hope that a Sawstop is in your future. With the amount of time you spend in the shop, the amount of work that you do on the tablesaw it would just make sense to protect your fingers and hands. Patreons maybe?
Brilliant demonstration on how to create usable stock from unfinished !
Extremely helpful for newbies like me. Really appreciate you sharing this knowledge.
Thanks for explaining both the steps and how the tools actually work. Also, I’m a big fan of your editing style.
Glad you like it all! Thanks!
@@3x3CustomTamar Do you do your own editing?
@@NothingOfficial668 yup. I do it all
This method WORKS!! Before I got my benchtop jointer I used this method with my thickness planer to get rough timber completely flat and square for glue-up and segment wood turning. Thanks for showing us how this works in this well explained common sense demo! 👍🏾
Thanks for the video. I built my sled today and milled so rough boards, it worked very well. Tomorrow I'll build a shorter one for small boards.
You have a great gift of being able to explain workflow clearly! I really enjoyed this video and learnt how I will now approach my re sawing in the future. Also going to buy a battery powered glue gun. I do love that you’ve shown multiple uses for other tools hanging around the shop as well.
Tomorrow morning I'm picking up my very first planer, so I'm sort of binge watching videos about how to use a planer, and gotta say that this is the best one I've seen, so far. Thank you very much, greetings from Chile!
So awesome to hear! It’s going to change your life
explained very well, you are a good teacher, greetings from Germany
Glad you think so! ☺️
Yes! Yes, exactly! I have been watching other videos and they talk about squaring the board but never really describe the why they do the steps they show. It’s like light builds turning on all the time with her videos. Excellent job 3x3! I appreciate it!
@@reid211 really so awesome to hear
@@3x3CustomTamar I give credit where it's due, take a bow 3x3, You all ROCK!
How thick should the MDF Base Plate be? Sorry i am also German WE need numbers. Thanks for teaching.
Adding to the praise! It is so great to watch you skillful explain and demonstrate all the techniques to go from raw wood to a clean piece of lumber. Also, that is a lot of wotk for a 2x4 😊. Appreciate the work of woodworking even more
New subscriber purely because you don't talk down to me while showing me things I never knew. I build electric guitars and this makes things so much simpler! Thank you!
I’m really glad that you mentioned inner-moisture content and correcting for it. That’s a detail that I was unaware of… for longer than I like to admit. 😂
Really great videos! I get at least one great tip out of every one. Thank you! 😊
Glad you liked it!
This is one of those great videos where you say "ahhh, now I get it”
Awesome
Damn. What a great video. Picked up my first planer today and you covered frikin everything. Thank you
this by far is the most informative video on jointing without a jointer that i have seen ,. Kudos to yu . looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank You!!
There's a lot of RUclipsrs out there that have videos on this subject but I have to say You are one of the best out there at not only sharing information but making it fun to watch. I'm not even sure why I clicked on this (ok I know because I'm a woodworking nerd) but you kept me entertained the entire length of the video. You are really good at describing the problem, presenting other possible problems then explaining your solution, why it works and why other solutions fail. And all with an upbeat sunny personality. If I came here not knowing any of this, I think I would have walked away with a wealth of new knowledge and, no matter what skill level, would understand all of it and be able to apply it to a project. I mean, nobody would mention things like shrinkage and why you milled it oversized but that's great information. Keep up the good work.
So awesome to hear! Thanks!
This is cool, love the tips. When I score myself a table saw, I need to make that tapering jig. I've been using my router and a bottom bearing bit to do basic joining but this seems easier
Glad you like it! Yeah. Router works fine. But table saw is easier. Ha
Google "makerspaces near me" - most have a woodshop
I really love your videos. You explain and teach so nicely, so I come away knowing what, how, why. Thank you 💐
Finally a face to the 3x3 name! Been following on the gram for a while now. Solid work!
I just bought my first thickness planer, and am excited to put these lessons to use! Thank you for an awesome tutorial!
Awesome! Have fun with it!
Parabéns pelas explicações. Sou brasileiro e sigo seu canal. Show
The grain direction was a good tip I had never thought of.
This is SO helpful! I have a great planer and table saw, but my jointer is a 4" junk one I got from a friend and I've been wanting to wider boards. This is going to help until I get a new jointer.
You remember years ago when you said, "I'm a little afraid of working with power tools?" All these years later and you are MASTERING THEM! I'm so proud of you. Just one more project I have to see before I die. Fix the garage door handle.
Ha. One day I’ll get around to it
Good tutorial! I think you and Stumpy Nubs have talked me into buying a planer before buying a jointer. (Don't have enough money for both right now.)
Thanks! Yes! You can get by without a jointer. But a jointer is kinda useless without a planer.
same here. I love Stumpy Nubs too.
Planer is WAY more useful around the shop for general overall use than a jointer, if you could only have one. I consider a planer an absolute necessity and a jointer more a luxury. Unless you are doing a lot of edge jointing for panel glue ups, etc you really can get by for the most part without a jointer especially when you consider their price.
I am just starting a few simple home projects with a cheap table saw, cheap miter saw, and a decent circular saw. You are now my hero. Well done...really well done!!
You are awesome. I love creativity and improvisation.
Great video, Tamar. The new backdrop looks good. I'll bet it brightens up the shop a bit.
Btw, I think you should get a heater before the jointer. ;)
Haha yes. Heat is more important!
God bless you girl! Like you, I'm in the North East. My shop is in a separate three car garage and since it's 17 degrees this morning it would take 6 or so hours to bring the temp up enough to be comfortable................so I'll watch you instead...LOL
PS....Bundle UP!
Haha yeah! It’s so hard to work out here! Do what you gotta do though...

Dont forget the humble hand plane, its often quicker and easier to square small parts with a plane and straight edge, good video, great presenter.
Great instruction and also extremely articulate, and no BS long-winded intro. I love this woman.
The “weird edge”, is a waney edge. Meaning an adage cut too close to the bark and new growth, resulting in an uneven surface.
It seems to me you set this up to run the jig through backwards. The feed rollers will try to pull the wood forward on the jig not backwards. The block attached to your jig should be on the front not the back. Obviously it worked, but is technically backwards.
RexSeven not really, the jig is set up the right way. While the roller pull the wood through, the cutter head spins the opposite direction as the roller, the cutter head has much more force and power to kick the wood back. I would set it up exactly as she is describing in the video.
Haha! This is one of the most common debates. To be honest. I have done both and see the merits of both. I think the hot glue is really doing most of the work though, so in my opinion, it actually really doesn’t matter....
@@3x3CustomTamar thank you for your great video Tamar.
@@behradgorgani I've seen wood go through slower than it should and I've seen it stop when rollers are damaged or dirty. I've never seen a board go backwards. Ideally, you would have a block front and back, but if I could only have one, I'd put it in front. You can put it wherever you want.
I tried the stop at the back but I had problems with the board sliding forward so I now have the stop at the front. I tried hot glue but the board moved anyway so I covered the top of the jig with rough sandpaper so the friction helps the board stay put. I also top the shims with a piece of rough sandpaper and everything stays in place.
Tamar, the RUclips algorithm brought this video to me today, and I'm so grateful! You are a terrific instructor! Your knowledge and experience show up as confidence and self-assurance, which are tempered by your humble desire to make these skills approachable to all. Your delivery removes the barriers so that viewers (me included) can see themselves moving forward on their own creative projects. I'm now a subscriber and look forward to seeing your other videos. Well done!
this is an excellent video tamar....I recently started working at lowes at the tools department so now I can tell the difference between a jointer and a planar.
