Like you said, shallow passes make this work. Also, I've gotten to the point where I pretty much run my boards through the CNC for a quick flattening pass on each side. You can run your CNC at 300+ ipm when you're only skimming off 0.02". Not as fast as a planer, but it gives the trolls something different to bitch about, which is the greatest pleasure in life.

I use my planer to remove cupping and minor twisting. I simply put the board on a sled, cupping upwards, and wedge into edge gaps as needed. Never had a problem.
Trolls are gonna troll. "Experts" will give you a dozen or more legitimate, totally valid reasons why it's impossible for a bumble bee to fly. Trillions of bumble bees world wide are going to continue to ignore those experts and fly anyway. Cabinet makers and furniture builders have been using this and other similar methods for decades.
thank you for the advice to flat the boards, I just bought the DW735 and I was wondering how to do this process on a simple way without a sled, this is a great simple idea, greatly appreciated
When stationed in Japan in the 80’s. I watched a Japanese carpenter flatten a very bad broad on a jointer. The jointer was about 12-14 inches wide and 6 feet or so long, the biggest I’ve ever seen. I don’t speak Japanese so this was show and tell, I was told by someone in the company this carpenter started his apprenticeship at the end of WW2. His knowledge and skill was incredible. Honor old masters when you can.
There are many ways to do things, but I'm not sure it's the best idea to teach the shortcut. I have the same planer and I don't have a jointer. I do almost everything the same way you do it. But if a board has bigger issues you will never get rid of them doing it that way. I made a few of your book caddies. The board I used had a slight cup and I used the same shortcut you used to mill the material. There was still a slight cup in the material after getting it to dimension, maybe a few thousandths on either side. Not a big deal but I wanted the same faces out to carry the grain around the angled sections so the gap opened up to double the error and showed a noticeable gap. Honestly it probably would have been fine for most people but it bothered me. I knew it happened because I was too lazy to set up a jointer sled. At the hobby level I don't think it's a problem but as you progress and start to look closer at your work it might be something worth looking at. Not trying to take sides, I don't know what was said and I can't remember if I commented on that video. but if you called me a troll for recommending a jointer or jointer sled I would be upset. Maybe we were recommending a tool based on our own individual experience. Of course you can take shortcuts, and for some things they work. But I followed your design with the same process and reflecting on the final product I knew I could have done better.
@@SothpawDesigns yeah I'm assuming it was the book caddy video? I looked through the comments and didn't see any other comments about running the board that way. You started the conversation so I will chime in. It isn't "easier than pro will admit". I work out of a community shop with several professional carpenters, I do some work for them as well as for myself. Those are the guys that use all the shortcuts and they are good at it. But if we could afford a 12" jointer not a single person in that shop would run a cupped board through the planer without jointing a face first. It's much faster and easier to clean it up on a jointer first. No question.
If I must critique (and yes I must😊) one thing in your video it is this. Yes your video is spot on about what you did so I have nothing to say about that. Mine is more of a concern use of jargon. You kept using "cup or cupping" interchangeably with "bow or bowing". And what your video did was show how to fix a CUPPED board not a bowed one, using a planer. Other than that, awesome video per usual

😂😂😂
That troll has no clue. I know of at least 6 main RUclipsrs who tell you how to do this.
I do it the same way too. I've even tried a 6 foot board that was 8 inches wide and took my time and works. Peace Brother

he is not talking about bees he is talking about wood, wood do you under stand
Tell me that you totally missed the point without saying that you totally missed the point. Do YOU understand?

You're welcome! Glad it helped.
Looks like it works to me!! There are always going to be people who disagree, but it doesn't make you wrong.
I'm fine with disagreement. It's the aggressive nature of his trolling and insults that really got under my skin.

Totally agree, do it all the time
Skip planing, which is what you’re doing, works great. Doesn’t work with warped boards as well but I do it all the time and I have a jointer.
There are many ways to do different things, whatever works.
I do this on a regular basis with cupped boards and it works every time. The only time I have to use a sled is for a twist.
Exactly!!
Good job my man...shut those jealous haters the hell up.
Good Video. Great to see you enjoy our trade.
I've been doing this for almost 30 years. When one only has a 6" jointer, not much choice.

No it wasn’t you. The person who said it was VERY confrontational, and has been blocked from commenting

I do this all the time. Works best with hardwood, of course. But it is doable with pine
Seeing all of your comments is a great reminder that the loud troll isn't necessarily right, they're just loud. Thank you!
Doesn’t that planer have a built-in blower? Can’t you just run a 4-inch hose to a bag and have it work without clogging?
Yes it does, but if you make too deep of passes, it can get clogged anyway.
Very cool thanks for sharing
Good job
Which is it - a cup or bow?? ;) Generally, you can remove a cup but not a bow- depends on the length of the board. Great video as usual!
You're right. It's a cup. I used the terms incorrectly. Someone else pointed that out. Thanks for the correction.
I do this all the time
I also have flattened cupped boards the same way .
Looks like you are using common sense to me, trolls hate that!
Ah. I see. I only take 1/32 passes at most.
I have to remind myself to do that.
Good afternoon
you can modify the I finger salute by holding up 3 fingers 🤣🤣
I considered it.....😂😂
I'm confused! Didn't he simply show us EXACTLY what a planer does??? Am I being punked???

Appreciate that. Good call. This works for cupped boards, not bowed boards. Appreciate the constructive criticism.
