Love to see another guy break material down with a jig saw. I get looked at cross-eyed when I tell other woodworkers I don't use a miter saw for this, but rather a jig saw. So much faster, and safer.
Having previously used miter saws for this, I agree. Normally I would have used the slider to break this down but the wood was so 'S' shaped that would have been precarious at best so the jig saw was the best choice. Steve
Hi Barry, I actually left it two nights and to my surprise, they all stayed pretty flat and straight. One developed a minor bow which will not affect my project. Steve
Thanks Robert. It would be a very short video since I really don't do anything. My shop has heat and air which keeps rust away. I haven't waxed any tabletops in about 6 years. Steve
Hi Neil. These boards were purchased S2S long ago (probably around 1980-81) when I was just getting started woodworking. I only had a Shopsmith 4" jointer and no planer at the time. I suspect they were just processed from the rough through a two sided planer in a single pass. Steve
Yes - they are the same. Sometimes it is confusing because in some parts of the world, this operation is called planing and others jointing while when using the planer, it is called either planing or thicknessing. Steve
@@extremewoodworker Thanks Steve; as a person who did not have shop class in high school, because some politician feels our world doesn't need woodworkers even as a hubby, information from people like yourself is absolute gold, really appreciate the response.
@@blackstars3720 I agree completely. Taking shop out of high schools was a major mistake. The only way to get shop in my area is to go the VoTech route. This is something that should be available to everyone. Steve
I am pretty sure I got these from Lee Valley. www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop/tools/hand-tools/marking-and-measuring/marking-tools/100362-pica-visor-permanent-crayon
So short wood piece i planed with feeding drawer(you understand this google translate?) without planed safe service.-- Wood piece without need feeding drawer muss be 4 x of handlenght-- i search aplaned combi , but i think septical over your Jointer/planer= planed machine. something details would not intelligence maked for this much money
Your video is great as always kind Sir.By the way... Is your joiner/planer a new one. I seem to remember that the other one was an SCM "Minimax" Joiner/Planer. Or is my old brain going a whack? LOL

Another great video. The leaving over night, great advice. Makes boxes or mach sticks, how we hate the loss of lumber.

Nice work. Have you got a video on how to keep the metal tops bright and shiny?
Thanks Robert. It would be a very short video since I really don't do anything. My shop has heat and air which keeps rust away. I haven't waxed any tabletops in about 6 years. Steve
Thanks for the video. What depth of cut were you taking when you were jointing the boards in the first place? 1mm?
Hi Neil. These boards were purchased S2S long ago (probably around 1980-81) when I was just getting started woodworking. I only had a Shopsmith 4" jointer and no planer at the time. I suspect they were just processed from the rough through a two sided planer in a single pass. Steve
@@extremewoodworker Thanks. When you were trying to straighten them in this video, how much were you taking off in each pass when jointing?
@@neilrelph-olivewoodturning4330 I was taking very light passes probably about 0.3-0.4mm each pass. Steve
Sorry confused here but using the jointer without the fence weren't you just planing?

What’s the link for the marker? Is it from Amazon?

Boards that you could put a sting on and hunt with! 😂 The Steve
Yep. It would be hard to find the straight as an arrow piece in these.

Hi Marc, something must be amiss with the translation as I am not sure what it says. Steve

Thank Pat. Same J/P as before (now 14 years old). SCM owns Minimax. Steve
