Happy to help!

As an aspiring woodworker I was delighted to discover Graham on KZbin. Everything about his approach suits me perfectly and the use of hand tools rather than noisy, dangerous and really messy machinery attracts me like a moth to a flame. Graham’s delivery is impeccable, relaxed, highly knowledgeable and easily understood. I am delighted to have found Graham on KZbin and look forward to collecting his books. Many thanks for your time and efforts Graham it is much appreciated

I know that you've read similar comments from the time you uploaded this valuable contribution, but I truly am baffled that it's taken me this long to discover your channel! I've only viewed two of your other tutorials besides this one, but I can't imagine that any content in your remaining videos will alter my conviction that, if your channel were more easily found, you'd realize an exponential increase in views and subscribers. Now, back to setting up my new workshop 🥳 THANK YOU ✌️ Nicholas

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks for sharing!

[@hazardousrusty4259]

The channel IS easy to find and IS growing pretty fast, all thanks to the quality of the content. Good things prove themselves, like Graham’s work. He has the best marketing, the best advertising, all because the quality alone does all that requiring no further marketing investments. Thank you Graham.

thank you for explaining theory of a deadman

[@gjbmunc]

You're very welcome!

[@АлексйУваровъ]

You’re my nirvana. Going to purchase your books this month.

[@gjbmunc]

Thank you!

[@darrensmall4313]

Greatly appreciate your time and for passing on your knowledge.

[@gjbmunc]

You're welcome!

Seems that another benefit of hand tools is shop size. Your shop space seems very reasonable and even approachable for many people. Would love to see a little tour.

[@gjbmunc]

Tour coming soon I hope!

[@johnsmall9729]

Deadman. Yes! Funny how your videos are so serendipitous right now. As a hobby joiner I am refurbishing a 17' wooden sailboat. Next job is to make a new garboard plank. I have access to a work bench just like yours (inherited from a retired furniture maker), and will use the deadman to secure the plank while I shape it. Thank you very much.

[@gjbmunc]

Have fun!

[@montelott8570]

Thank you Graham, yet another informative video

[@gjbmunc]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dukebuildsem2378]

Love the simplicity of your teaching method, it's really great for a beginner. Also sent to you by Rex Krueger

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks and welcome

[@ajax488]

Love your channel! Tips, simple explanations, and tried and true methods of woodworking.

[@gjbmunc]

Thank you very much!

[@ratsalad346]

Awesome stuff, thank you for creating this channel!

[@gjbmunc]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@mdburnem]

I also just found your channel. I've subscribed and am looking forward to going through all of your videos. I especially enjoyed this video because you are working with a long piece of timber which seems to be a subject avoided by other hand tool woodworkers. Sure, it's great to show how to flatten, joint and square up a 2 foot rough sawn board but what if you are building bookshelves, a desk or a table or something else that is 5 feet +. There appears to be a little more complexity to it. At least for me there is. Thank you for making this content available.

[@gjbmunc]

You're very welcome!

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks!

[@hangingoutashingle7784]

Great stuff. I also like how you used your leading hand as a fence while you were planing. That was something that took me a while to figure out but it really helps me keep my plane square. And I like how simple your deadman design was. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks 👍

[@CandidZulu]

A Stanley No95 edge plane will set you back as much as a decent Jointer. But should not be too hard to make at home. However I use the No4 smoothing plane (it's what I have) to adjust thin edges on boards. Using the finger as a fence, and taking only a cut on on side. Paul Sellers shows this, and it works fine.

[@gjbmunc]

Great!

[@Geninkenneth]

This is the chanel I have been looking for. No BS and with a love for the craft.

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks so much!

[@scottmatich1374]

Nice work!

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks!

[@SimonFlinn-fr8lr]

Thank you for this! Most helpful and succinct explanation of jointing I have seen.

[@gjbmunc]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@fakeitormakeit83]

Hands down one of the best explanations of this ive seen! Definitely have my sub!

[@gjbmunc]

Wow, thanks

[@ikust007]

What a discovery! Strange just found you Sir. But a joy !!

Thank you, you're welcome!

[@teeflo2757]

excellent little tutorial on a tricky subject, especially for self-taught beginners like myself. thank you. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@gjbmunc]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lennykelleher8732]

Where has this guy been?Love his work and his manner.

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks. Nice to hear.

[@pitsnipe5559]

Recently found your channel, great advice and great presentation. Thanks!

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks for watching!

[@ArchEdge]

Thanks Graham - Im new to your channel and found this video fasinating. Much Appreciated.

[@gjbmunc]

You're wewlcome!

[@kentonward97]

Nice video , I would add you also use a Stanley 78 with its fence providing you have tuned it to make sure it’s square and flat. I did this with mine and it does a nice job after you have gotten your board flat with a jointer.

[@gjbmunc]

Yep, many ways to skin a cat!

[@ianpearse4480]

Great stuff. Thank you.

[@gjbmunc]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pettere8429]

You could get a continous shaving if you have a high spot in the middle of the board, then the jointer will ride the hump. The way to get around it is to make sure you have a low spot in the middle by planing until your plane stops cutting in the middle of the board.

[@gjbmunc]

True, but it kind of depends (for me at least) on how long or high the 'hump' is.

[@malcolmsmith5903]

Nice job with the process Graham. I always try to hit the known high spots first (sight it, straight edge, bench top etc) then I'm looking for full length. Working from the middle out is good - it's all prep for this full shaving technique.👍

[@dorislyons6223]

That's a sharp plane

[@gjbmunc]

Sharp tools work best!

[@donaldroberts7055]

Thank you

[@gjbmunc]

You're welcome

[@vidculjak6467]

👍

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks!

[@johnschillo4452]

I have to rethink how to use a deadman - I am lefthanded and use left handed Continental wooden planes

[@gjbmunc]

try standing on the other side of the bench!

[@HighWealder]

I was always taught to look down the length and you can see if it's straight.

[@gjbmunc]

Of course, Great idea.
