NO JOINTER DO THIS

If you do not own a jointer this is an effective way to joint boards.
I have been doing this for months while my jointer was broken and it
works very well and it is consistent. Give it a try. I did not come up with this method, I saw it on Honey Badger Woodworks KZbin channel so I will give her the credit for sure.

I did this last fall when combining my cut off scraps into a project panel. It works pretty great! Granted, it's not perfect, but it's much better than buying a jointer for us with less shop space.

[@Mitchell_G_Stepens]

@Andrew-ih2gz absolutely, definitely not a replacement, but works way better than I thought it would. Thank you for the comment and watching! Very much appreciated

[@williamcooper5009]

Nifty idea. Well done. Well explained!

[@Mitchell_G_Stepens]

@@williamcooper5009 thank you for the kind words. Appreciate the feedback as well as the watch!

[@adamerbrecht7093]

It’s more efficient than a sled unless you are starting with a live edge or a badly warped board since this is removing an 1/8” at a time

[@vincentcozza99]

I've used this way before I had a jointer!! Definitely works. I thought the same way you did lol if it wasn't going to work. Peace

[@Mitchell_G_Stepens]

I was surprised on how well it worked. Hey thanks for watching and the comment!

[@billybike57]

Outstanding idea, thanks for sharing!

[@Mitchell_G_Stepens]

@billybike57 thanks for watching

totally unneccesary soundtrack - makes your commentary hard to hear

[@Mitchell_G_Stepens]

@serendipitynz hey thanks for the comment, I am on the fence about the whole background music thing.

[@Woodbuilt-y7v]

Agree

[@dougmundie7053]

I'm going to try it

[@Mitchell_G_Stepens]

Awesome, hope it works well for you! Thanks for watching and the comment

[@philipdavison4066sawdust]

That's how I do mine because I don't have a jointer

[@Mitchell_G_Stepens]

I find it works very well, Thanks for the comment

I much prefer to shim out the outfeed side of my router table fence. Takes longer than this method, as you are taking .093-.125" per pass, but all I have is time. I usually take .064".

[@Mitchell_G_Stepens]

Yep that's a good method, like I said, there are plenty of ways to do it. I don't have a router table, but if I did I would probably do it that way. Thanks for sharing another way to joint boards and thank you for the comment and also the view!

[@SavageVoyageur]

Yes this is another way to joint. I also personally like my router table for this. It has shims on the outfeed side.

[@michaelsorensen7567]

Any thoughts on full length boards? Lotta crazy people wanting 10' long tables, and don't have a jointer yet, and the lumber supplier does a "straight line" that is, well, insufficient.

[@Mitchell_G_Stepens]

Never done 10' before, sure it can be done if you can keep the boat tight to the fence.

[@Justme-ny9ju]

Are u saying hidth 😂😂😂😂. Its height 😂😂😂 good vid though 👍

[@Mitchell_G_Stepens]

@Justme-ny9ju lmao I don't know maybe I am. Thanks for the comment.
