Why did you plane the counter intuitive side of the board? I.e. the reverse of the cup. Planing from the other side gives you the opportunity to lay down pencil marks in the gullet of the board that, when flat, are shaved off for better reference. Also, as another commenter stated, checking for wind would have been the step before this (ignoring, of course the jointing square and true of one edge).
As a journeyman carpenter/ fine woodworker I am going to give this a try with hand tools only. I could make that box pretty easily with standard tools I use in the shop. But hand tools only? Plus if I make that I have to make it fast enough to make a profit on it.
I think you skipped the part where you check for twist, try to take out the twist, and then it's still twisted, and you check again, and fix it again, and check again, and TRY to fix it again, before calling it "close enough for the chairs I build!"
Thanks for the video Josh and Jeremy!
Absolutely brilliant👍👍thank yiu very much for sharing this👍👍👍👌👌
I wonder if the right hand has a workshop tale to tell?

In traditional work we plane against single stop with the board loose. We don't plane crossgrain unless the board is very badly warped.
Good
Waiting for part 2.......

I think he should have started out with a piece of would that didnt already look flat and square. Then this would be a better example.
