Hey brother....what type of glue sticks do you use in the hot glue gun? I can't find any that are more, light duty

[@Trickmanii]

What are those router bit numbers?

[@jonmcdaniel3021]

Bits&bits isn't honoring your 15% off code anymore. Too bad, I wanted to do business with them.

[@katzmosestools]

@@jonmcdaniel3021 that's definitely not true. I'd email customer support.

[@johnelona14]

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzbin.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

[@beachthor1]

What the fuck are you talking about

[@jtp1389]

Shut your mouth and go away.

[@toonybrain]

I love your 90 degree, magnetized hand-plane jig. Thank you.

[@johnnyd9174]

I don’t know why I didn’t think of a flush trim bit for making a straight edge. What a great idea, thanks a lot!

[@HiVizCamo]

I'm glad they exist, did not know about them.

[@ronin6932]

A jointer and a flush trim bit work in the same principle. Unless it's more powerful.

[@janinev9168]

I don't have the real estate in my shop for a jointer. This was the best video I've found on how to tackle that problem. Thanks so much!

[@thecityofficial6367]

Man, you just set me free. I’ve started selling some pieces I’ve made as of recently and I have really felt the pressure to spend a ton of money on a jointer just bc every video you see that’s of any quality wood working at all, has a jointer involved. Anyway, long story short, thank you so much. I liked and subscribed. Thank you again

[@bryoncovell6325]

You just saved me 725 bucks. I am planning out my shop and that was one of the tools on my list. Thanks for the video.

[@ronin6932]

Buy a cheap trimmer or router, set a table, make a hole on it, install the said trimmer upside down from under the table, make a nice straight fence, and boom you got a jointer.

[@92Koondog92]

I was just trying to figure out ways to do this yesterday, and this morning your video popped up on my feed. Absolutely perfect. Now I just need to find one thing in my shop that actually has a straight edge to use as a guide, and I'm golden. Thanks for this extremely helpful video!

[@mjay4700]

Same. I opted to just break down and buy a new level to use for that purpose.

[@wb_finewoodworking]

I’m glad my wife didn’t watch your video before I bought my jointer. 😉😁 Great job Jonathan.

[@ramingr]

That hand plane jig is genious!

[@DillonMW]

I’ve come to the conclusion that a nice router set and table saw with nice accessories is all I will need for a while.

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Great video for those of us with jointer envy! I’ve also used a router and a straight bit to joint two boards intended to be joined together. Have the router bit just kiss each side enough to catch the wider parts and run the router along a straight edge. Great results with that technique too!

[@davearonow65]

Another great tip is the track saw, which you mentioned, except you don't cut your boards 1 at a time. You clamp the two boards you are going to join together first and run the track saw blade over both joining edges at the saame time. What the blade cuts off the edge of one blade, it cuts the exact same thing of the edge of the other board so when you push them back together to get rid of the now saw blade width gap between them, they are perfectly joined because they were both cut with the exact same blade at the exact same time. Only thing to worry about is how? To clamp both boards and the track saw guide together to get the cut done without cutting whatever you are clamping them together. There are a bunch of ways to do this and plenty of videos on KZbin, but it is a great technique and works really well. Especially for joining really long boards together which are more problematic with more traditional joining methods. I use this method to join 8 foot panels together for entry doors, etc.

[@blahdiblah2169]

What I want to say is your straight cut jig is the most sensible I've ever seen. It solves one major problem with the ones that use those top down clamps, and that they're only designed for one board size. Yours can handle a variety of sizes. Very nice work. Subscribed.

[@Ross-2077]

Definitely taking the jointer off the to buy tool list. Thanks

[@TrevorDennis100]

Ross I am about to mill up 20 metres of board length, so 40 metres of edges. I'd hate to be having to do this without a jointer.

[@dmc7783]

Sold my jointer, purchased a Festool track saw TS 75for clean edges and use hand scraper to clean edges. I use hand planes to flatten it.

[@rudygeorgiamulesandcountry1594]

Hand planes may not give perfectly straight, smooth 90° edges for gluing layups.

[@SecondSonWoodworks]

So many great tips in this video! Thanks for sharing! I love the magnetic planer attachment 👌🏻👍🏼🙏🏻

[@jaredhammel4587]

Thank you very much for this extremely informative video. The way that you explain the method in this video made it very clear on what needed to be done.

[@harrydavis6903]

Well done, friend. I always learn something from your videos, much appreciated.

[@bubbablazer2]

Subscribed cuz: you explained it in a way that I could understand, you created that magnetic fence that I've yet to see in any other woodworking tip video, and you didn't ask for me to subscribe. Thanks for all those things.

[@Katsoup98]

That is pretty unique, huh? I feel like I might actually be able to make that, too. Now to buy a plane...

[@seaotter52]

I too like the non begging. As for the 90* plane fence, they go back centuries on the old wooden planes with screws and with the metal planes I've seen both magnets and screws (plane body was drilled and tapped) used. The rare earth magnets are really cool. So versatile. The lipped edge on JKM s version is really clever.. Another project in the future

[@thevoiceofthelordpastorkei7165]

Not only would I love to have your tool collection but even more so your woodworking knowledge!! Your knowledge with woodwork is amazing! ThankQ for sharing your God given talents!! Great video! 👍

[@Spaazztik]

So many great tips here. I've always struggled with getting boards flat and was seriously starting to try to figure out how to get a jointer because I've only ever seen people plane things flat or use a jointer

[@VIDEOEPPO]

videos like these do really help a lot for beginners like me. Thanks a ton!

[@joshuahasson9687]

Jonathan, where have you been all my wood working life?!?! The last thing I need is to subscribe to ANOTHER wood working channel but you reeled me in. This is my first video but i love your style, delivery, & tips.

[@calebcotter2850]

I love the magnetic jig for your hand plane. Great idea

[@peterxyz3541]

Useful! Thanks! For that pencil demo, use the thicker carpenter pencil for camera pick up

[@billgarcia9363]

Very succinct explanations on the various ways for preparing boards for edge gluing without the use of a jointer. Thank you very much!

[@mtelewicz]

These are great tips. I did break down and purchase a jointer because I found face jointing so painful. The planer sled worked fine, I just found it so time consuming and monotonous walking from one side of the planer to the other over and over and over. For what it's worth, Grizzly's G0814 (or G0813 if you want the economy stand) 6" jointer runs on 120V and has worked great in my shop thus far. I'm just a hobbyist, though. These tips are still useful even if you have a jointer since, as you mention, sometimes you can't run a piece through your particular jointer. MDF makes a great planer sled, by the way. It's going to be dead flat.

[@ssmith954]

This was a huge help, thanks! I have just a small space for workshop and would love a jointer/planer, but simply don't have the space, whereas a planer/thicknesser would fit. This helped me realise I can work around the lack of a dedicated jointer.

[@tiananman]

thanks for these tips! I'm making an 8ft long table out of rough cut hickory that has been giving me the business.

[@maarirs12894]

From experience, a jointer is the most important and Essential piece of machinery of a wood workshop. Full time carpentry workshop needs one for sure. Save time and thus money.

[@ryankalbfleisch3321]

I have always jointed with the router technique you've shown. Figured it out on my own, and have been told it was wrong, but it always worked for me. Glad to now know I'm not alone. Another tip is, if you're working with a super thick board, use the router method to get the line, then follow up with a track saw to finish the cut perfectly. Using a combination of these methods, and a planer, I really see no need, for me, to waste the money and space on a jointer.

[@roberthutcheson2485]

As a newbee woodworker, this is great to know. Thanks!

[@afsharnaseri]

Making a table and thank god for your video. So excited to get started!!!

[@JacobAndersonLives]

[@terryjackson9055]

the sound of a good sharp blade beats machines anytime and maybe as fast

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

As always, great tips. I don't expect to have a joiner any time soon, so I'll need these tips.

[@McFlysGarage]

Jason Babila I’m terrified of the jointer and would much rather utilIze a sled like this or even a router sled

[@chm1701]

Joe Gravelle. Perhaps looking at the European version of a jointer would help, Joe? They have guards that don’t move out of the way, so it encourages you to keep your hands safe. Just a thought.

For the planner sled I made mine from scrap Corian then I put a few blobs of 5min drywall mud, layer of cellophane then imbed my board. 5 minutes later mud is hard and ready for the planner.

[@katzmosestools]

Woah! I might have to do a video on that! Good idea!

[@cgriesemer]

I FOUND THE COMMENT THAT SPAWNED IT ALL

[@thecloneguyz]

Its "hot mud" not "drywall mud" Two different things

[@thecloneguyz]

Drywall mud does NOT dry in 5min Hot mud DOES though! Easy way to confuse someone else trying to copy you

[@biggusbestus551]

With my router I have a 2" slot cutter bit. I shim my out going table fence by 1/16". Now I have a "jointer" that will handle a 2" face. Cheaper bit that works great for me ...

[@ButtmunchCookie]

Great video! Thanks!

[@chm1701]

A great video as always, Jonathan. I don’t currently have any machines available to me at home, but the magnetic hand plane guide, is a damn fine idea 👌 Thanks.

[@leehaelters6182]

Chris Morris The mag jig for a hand plane fence is cute, but craftsmen have used a simpler method for ages. Just lay the board flat, pack it up a bit, and work with your plane laying on its side. No waiting.

[@TrevorDennis100]

@@leehaelters6182 Lee, I was thinking the same thing, but it occurred to me that Jonathan does not have a full size workbench. Just that wee bench we see in his videos with the Moxon vice on top. That is going to make it harder to plane a longish board edge against a bench dog, or even use a shooting board. When you see Rob Cosman plane an edge, he starts with it square from the jointer, and does that trick pushing down on the plane with his left thumb to keep the plane flat to the wood, or he'll do what you described, or use a shooting board.

[@Meyerwoodworks]

I built my first table using some of these methods. While they worked, my results were not 100% and now that I have a jointer, I can say without a doubt it's absolutely worth its weight in gold when it comes to making straight, flat, square pieces of lumber.

[@aaronalton7458]

I use the jointer/router system when gluing up panels, but I "joint" two boards the same time. so they fit a 100% together. Just position them sligtley nearer than the diameter of the Bit, then with one pass joint both. Thanks for the Vid. New subscriber ;-)
