Milling Rough Lumber Without a Jointer Using a Few Simple Jigs

[@stevenhealy2554]

This is what happens when you get a woman behind a saw... They explain things much better because they know that some people don't have a base of understanding to work from. But seriously, thank you so much. I got most of the information, but I was missing most of the theory behind the techniques. I've been following your channel for awhile now and this is usually the 1st place I go to understand something that I just can't grasp.

I'm not even sure why I clicked on this (ok I know because I'm a woodworking nerd) but you kept me entertained the entire length of the video. You are really good at describing the problem, presenting other possible problems then explaining your solution, why it works and why other solutions fail. And all with an upbeat sunny personality. If I came here not knowing any of this, I think I would have walked away with a wealth of new knowledge and, no matter what skill level, would understand all of it and be able to apply it to a project. I mean, nobody would mention things like shrinkage and why you milled it oversized but that's great information. Keep up the good work.

[@rlamarch]

Great video Tamar, I was woodworking for a long time before I learned the planner sled trick. A couple of tips, my planner pulls my board forward, so I always run the sled through with the end with the stop block first so it is pushing against the block. When you are looking to square the first edge of the board on the table saw, pay attention to the grain on the face of your board. You may have some sap wood that you would like to trim off or you may have straight grain (think quarter sawn or riff sawn) running down the board where you want to plan to keep the orientation straight instead of having it running off the side of the board at one time.

It seems to me you set this up to run the jig through backwards. The feed rollers will try to pull the wood forward on the jig not backwards. The block attached to your jig should be on the front not the back. Obviously it worked, but is technically backwards.

[@behradgorgani]

RexSeven not really, the jig is set up the right way. While the roller pull the wood through, the cutter head spins the opposite direction as the roller, the cutter head has much more force and power to kick the wood back. I would set it up exactly as she is describing in the video.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Haha! This is one of the most common debates. To be honest. I have done both and see the merits of both. I think the hot glue is really doing most of the work though, so in my opinion, it actually really doesn’t matter....

[@rexseven6907]

@@behradgorgani I've seen wood go through slower than it should and I've seen it stop when rollers are damaged or dirty. I've never seen a board go backwards. Ideally, you would have a block front and back, but if I could only have one, I'd put it in front. You can put it wherever you want.

[@1AnitrasDance]

I tried the stop at the back but I had problems with the board sliding forward so I now have the stop at the front. I tried hot glue but the board moved anyway so I covered the top of the jig with rough sandpaper so the friction helps the board stay put. I also top the shims with a piece of rough sandpaper and everything stays in place.

I really appreciate your very helpful videos. I'm approaching retirement and I'm gearing up for my next love (hobby) that I had to abandon many, many years ago due to..well..life. Your insights and step-by-step instructions are invaluable. Thanks and I look forward to viewing all your videos!

Thanks for your clear and concise piece on getting by just fine without a jointer. High quality content, both informative and down to earth. You know what you're talking about, keep it up and I wish you gold plaque in 2024 ! The lumber I end up buying 90% of the time have nice and parallel faces. The one that have twist goes straight to the burn pile. I had a lone kickback in my life and it was a twisted board that tried to kill me. But as I discovered, almost none of the lumber in store has square edges. My trusty old DW716 offers me 2 very handy features to scan for nice square lumber: A wide continuously flat level base AND a straight fence assembly, both verified with a straight edge. Not all brands promises these, including some of the pricier.... If I stand a 2x4 or 2x6 on edge, its either pressed down flat on the saw base OR else pushed back tight to the fence, rarely both. That same 2x4, laid on face flat instead of on its edge, will all but conceal an out of square situation. So even when my intent is to cut a board laying flat, I always stand it on edge first to check for squareness against the fence.💙😎

Awesome video for the beginner wood worker who does not have all the big tools. Very simple and easy to follow along. Two thumbs up.

Glad you like it!

This is a great tutorial on milling without a jointer. Tamar is hands down the best on KZbin at explaining woodworking concepts. One tip regarding the planer jig. Place the cleat on the front not the rear. That way, when the rollers in the planer pull the piece through, it will be pressed down and against the cleat. No need for glue on the shims or the workpiece. I sometimes use this jig even when the piece doesn't need jointing because it really helps eliminate snipe.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks. Except that up for debate. I actually do it both ways and o have never had an issue either way but that’s bc I am using the glue

[@myassitsbeentaken]

I'm in the same boat. I don't have a jointer but have planer. Thank you for this great explanation. Very simple and easy!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome

Extremely helpful. Trying to get my own garage workshop started, and this helps me save space and lots of money. Thank you!

[@kencraig2178]

Somebody pointed me to this video yesterday after I commented on my difficulties surfacing rough lumber. Your explanation and demonstration was perfectly clear and easy to follow and my daughter and I made some finished lumber today for her to make a jewelry box. Worked the first time with a pretty bad board. Better than all my prior attempts which may have worked, but we’re terribly frustrating and slow. Thank you!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome to hear!

[@mikehamel7927]

Great information! The best part is the humor and your smile you infuse into your video. I work with IT users who respond a million times better to what I am trying to teach them when I use humor and smile. Oh and I learned a lot in 20 minutes and will use this on the pile of Ash wood I have in my shop. :)

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Ha! So awesome to hear!

[@carterraines5112]

This was excellent. I’ve tried to explain this process to many people before when I’m milling something up. From now on I’m just gonna show them your video.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome

[@rogerpeterson289]

The best comprehensive video to understand I have watched. I now truly understand square and how to get there 😊

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Glad it was helpful!

[@noahschmartz2354]

here from 731 woodworks, u really are an inspiration, a born teacher imo.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

☺️☺️👍

[@grantliddiard9508]

Hi, I watched this video as i had some timber to mill and I don’t have a planer but do have a thickness planer. Worked great. Thank you for your knowledge. Keep up the great videos and cheers from Down Under.

[@jjburnes5176]

I’m a young woman getting into woodworking and this video was so helpful and also inspiring! Thank you!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

That’s so awesome to hear!! 💪💪

[@billbee235]

I’m new to woodworking, just started to do some basic stuff (trim, moulding, etc) and kinda got the bug. Your channel is a gold mine of amazing info 🙏

[@UnicornMeat512]

Don't know why I watched this all the way through. I used all of these things in the beginning too. But you have great energy and I love how detailed you are. You got yourself a new sub. Can't wait to see more

[@3x3CustomTamar]

👍👍

[@joshuabridges4415]

I know I’m late to the party, but I just found this video & wanted to say “thank you” for the great content. Your explanations are easy to follow & your demonstrations are clear. This work-around just saved me $400.

[@phillamoore157]

Outstanding! And, this was a GREAT explanation of how the planer works, and the purpose/necessity of the shims/sled. That part had me scratching my head a bit, on other videos. So, if I'm understanding this properly.... If, you can only afford, or have space for one of these machines, then get the biggest/best planer you can afford, given you can do both cuts. Thank you for taking the time for this!!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Glad you found it helpful! Yes! Planer before jointer.
