One thing you didn’t mention is grain direction and if you don’t feed the board the correct way through a jointer or planer you will get chip out.

[@tedtolentino4955]

Excellent video. Thank you for a very thorough explanation on how you mill.

[@mystproductions4099]

Wanted to say an honest 10/10 on the visual guide of running the piece through joiner given I have no experience I have been curious about how it works on uneven pieces like you showed. But not just demonstrating you nailed the actual content along side the with the editing. Just wanted to make sure I vocalized some appreciation to your work. Especially in the little details

[@csimet]

Nice overview! I'll add to what you said at 7:00... cutting up the pieces to the general length before you mill... it also reduces the amount you need to mill. A bow/twist/cup is easier to fix in a short piece vs. a long piece and takes far less removal of material, leaving more for use after.

[@Mongrel85]

I do the width also - less to remove when you cut it up then reglue and it’s more stable particularly if you flip the pieces

[@davidlove1887]

And make sure your shortest piece can go through your thicknesser and still contact the hold-down rollers!

[@user-tt3hh8oq4e]

wow! i really thought i knew everything about woodworking and this video actually taught me

[@james1214]

Stellar video, Jason. Thanks so much for this resource. I teach woodworking at a local maker space and I always mention taking boards to the shortest dimension before milling because it averages out the total warp in a piece of wood, and it's a part of the process that many KZbinrs barely cover or don't mention at all. I'm now going to refer people to this video, because it's the video I'd make on the subject if I did such things.

[@coreycarter6061]

Man you are amazing at explaining things, thanks.

[@erikhutchinson8038]

One piece of advice I would add would be to use chalk. Before you face joint and later plane, mark the faces with chalk. This makes it easier to see that you get the entire face milled.

[@CharlesGallo]

Of course, you can do what I did for years - A hand plane, and a hand saw! Did 100s of board feet that way

[@lindsaydickson47]

This is exactly what I needed to know. Many thanks

[@TazerAP]

I'm really new to woodworking and slowly expanding my tools, and the tip about using plywood on the table saw for a reference straight edge was a PERFECT creative solution until I can afford a jointer. Thanks Jason!

[@peterzammit9029]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. You're an absolute nutter and I love you for it haha

I just took over the woodshop at my school, and this video has helped me immensly. I consider myself a "rough" carpenter in that the stuff I make works, but it doesn't look good. This video is going to make me better at my new craft, on my journey. Thank you.

That was really well done! Bravo! Cutting material down (ripping) and then jointing, can also save a lot of waste by re-gluing them together after.

[@michaelroberts2863]

Perfect video... I'm a new and enthusiastic woodworker but I've never milled wood because I haven't yet got a jointer or a thicknesser, but now I know I can do it with a thicknesser and a table-saw, I'm going to try that. Oh how my neighbours are going to love me!

[@timcoleman3421]

Thanks!

[@kellyb7321]

Thanks for this. i'm currently in the process of milling a bunch of white oak for a table build and don't have a jointer. it's a slow process but it's getting there. One nice thing is that your planar sled and table saw jointer sled can be the same piece of wood since they both need to be longer than the board you're milling. I like to use melamine because it slides so easily.

[@VinceEspositoJr]

Nice video. I really enjoy your channel. Another approach for the milling arsenal: Many woodworkers and furniture makers will face joint first, then plane the other face, then edge joint. This doubles your choices for how to joint the edge especially for challenging grain situations. It's some extra leg work but can produce better results later in the process. Hope you don't mind me chiming in.
