    Nice overview!
    I'll add to what you said at 7:00... cutting up the pieces to the general length before you mill... it also reduces the amount you need to mill. A bow/twist/cup is easier to fix in a short piece vs. a long piece and takes far less removal of material, leaving more for use after.

    Stellar video, Jason. Thanks so much for this resource. I teach woodworking at a local maker space and I always mention taking boards to the shortest dimension before milling because it averages out the total warp in a piece of wood, and it's a part of the process that many RUclipsrs barely cover or don't mention at all. I'm now going to refer people to this video, because it's the video I'd make on the subject if I did such things.

    Thanks for this. i'm currently in the process of milling a bunch of white oak for a table build and don't have a jointer. it's a slow process but it's getting there. One nice thing is that your planar sled and table saw jointer sled can be the same piece of wood since they both need to be longer than the board you're milling. I like to use melamine because it slides so easily.

  • @VinceEspositoJr
    @VinceEspositoJr Год назад +6

    Nice video. I really enjoy your channel. Another approach for the milling arsenal: Many woodworkers and furniture makers will face joint first, then plane the other face, then edge joint. This doubles your choices for how to joint the edge especially for challenging grain situations. It's some extra leg work but can produce better results later in the process. Hope you don't mind me chiming in.

  • @pkwoodworking

  • @marshallmurrell4583
    @marshallmurrell4583 Год назад

    Thank you for emphasizing face jointing prior to edge jointing. I see so many RUclipsrs edge jointing first. In my experience, doing that will only lead to edge jointing again after face jointing in order to get surfaces that are square to each other. I don't have a jointer, but I do have a flat sled which I use to send boards through my planer. It works very well to face surface both faces prior to edge jointing on a sled on the table saw. Something you did not mention is that, if your project permits, the amount of waste in the milling process can be greatly reduced by cutting your boards into smaller boards prior to milling. In your example of the bowed board, cutting the board in half reduces the bow by half. That results in less waste. By the same token, cutting a twisted board in half, whether crosscut or rip cut, will reduce the amount of twist in each of the resulting boards, resulting in less waste. However, to safely rip a twisted board will generally require a band saw.

    I trick I regularly use, since my shop (and budget) can't yet support a full size jointer. When edge milling long work, I use a power hand planer to knock down the high points and create a reference edge. While this will not be perfectly square, if I can eliminate the rocking, I can the run the reference edge against the fence on my table saw. Takes care and extra work, but you get good at it quickly.

    I have 3 different sleds for my planer: 10.5” , 8’ 3” and a 44”. I put my various sizes on those if there are any Boeing or cup, twist etc. I use masking tape and shims to try to split difference on each end then run it through forwards and backwards. I have the 735 Dewalt and one thing I learned is angle the feed tables all the way up in and out. That 99% for rid of snipe.
    Also, if you work with 6” or less width boards, you can plane the edges. I’ll take like 5 pieces of 8/4 walnut like that and run it. Many ways to mill but if I had one choice in machine and I had 600$ I’d go 735 dewalt as you can joint and plane if you are within limits. Over 6” width? Use a piece of melamine, put your stock on top, clamp it down and run the straight edge against fence with your wood on saw side. Get a straight edge, then flip around and run the new straight edge against it and the flip again to square up. Use a track saw, or a circ saw a guide rail. I’ve done it with a level and a jig saw with fine blade.
    Lots of options, gotta get creative. I don’t have a jointer so my methods are usually table saw / track saw) and planer.

  • @brettpeckinpaugh

    One minor addition is, when looking at cupped or twisted boards. If you need smaller pieces you could get less loss by cutting and jointing like you said. The angles and such work out better and you take less off. But that would be if your options for wood suck of course.

    I have like 8- 2" thick 8 foot slabs of cherry in my garage and they're probably at most 2ft wide. Problem is they're all twisted. I used to do that planer sled thing but wasn't always perfect. I got an electric hand planer to knock down all the high spots instead and that's been working beautifully. So what I do is I cut of a piece of the slab that I wanna use I get it flat and then I cut it to almost the final size that I want. I then bring it inside where it'll sit for a week or two so that it adjusts to the indoor environment and I also have them clamped down so that they don't re-twist. Have had a lot of success with this process.
