I can’t count how many time I have seen these techniques demonstrated on youtube, but you put them all together from start to finish articulated, by far, better anyone yet. Thank you.
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.
You really deserve it. It's awesome to watch your skills, knowledge, and easiness to teach others while doing each step. Again, I deeply appreciate the time you took to reply my comments. God bless you, your family as well and all those who share their comments as well.
@@3x3CustomTamar 🍻 You should be speaker of the house 🏡 Q: what’s that about using odd number and odd number when you X them 9 You talk smooth and get to the point that you want us to “understand “ For me I think you are tough and sensitive,kind,caring,who likes to teach and get others that there is always there is a light and way to get the problem solve. Good for you learn a lot if I missed some point you explain it again in the different way of Wish you well
@@3x3CustomTamar as a ticketed carpenter, I have to say this is the most clearly laid out explanation I've seen in person, or on video to explain these concepts. I'll be subscribing
I absolutely appreciate that machine sounds are edited down. It's ear-jarring when you're listening to someone's video with earphones on and they suddenly switch on a planer, table saw or god forbid, a router.
Hello. I'm from Russia. I want to thank Tamar for the wonderful videos! Very interesting videos. I don't know English well, but I watch it with great pleasure. I wish America health, success in business and peace. With respect!
May the Lord bless Russia. I have learned a little about your history, geography, culture and language. The people can get along well. It's the bankers that cause trouble. If you and I get along, there's not money to be made.
A sure sign of a competent woodworker is the ability to improvise, make jigs, and build one's own tools. You have the added skill of teaching these in a very approachable way. Thank you for creating such great content!
I just discovered your channel and cannot believe how much I'm learning. I thought I knew a few basics, but you do a great job deepening my understanding with your very clear, to-the-point narration. Wow. Thank you so much!
EXCELLENT VIDEO!! I love how you explain everything leaving nothing to guess why or how. The quality of your videos just keep getting better and better!!! ❤️
I agree! Very thorough explanation of all the steps for the process (including jig building tips and alternatives where possible). It's like 5 videos in one.
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT video. I’m at best a couple of weekends a year warrior and your explanation and ability to communicate was perfect. Oh BTW, I was a Director of Communication for three global organizations and I wish people spoke as precisely and cogently as you. Kudos.
Absolutely agree with you, Vincent. I wish all woodworkers-youtubers would clarify why they are doing what they do the way they do. I am just a weekend woodworker, with just a few power tools, and this is the type of master class that really help me.
OMG! One of the best videos I've seen in months, especially since I purchased my planer and am still just a year in of woodworking. You added info that you didn't have to, yet I needed to hear it!! Thank you so much for advancing all of our woodworking knowledge. Keep em comin!!!
@@3x3CustomTamar I have to say, I agree with beast, here. Most videos simply say "here's how!" and leave it at that. I LOVE the way you presented the content and gave explainations as to WHY it works, not just the mere fact that it works. You answered all my current questions in the best way possible AND you've earned a new subscriber tonight. Thank You!
Without a doubt, you are the best woodworking instructor I have ever listened to. I am 85 and have listened to quite a few of them over the years, starting with Norm in 1990 until today. Your instructions are complete with full explanations of why you do it that way, instead of just showing how to do it.
Dale, I think the fact that you're an 85 year old man and willing to listen and learn from a young woman says a lot about your character. Much respect to you sir.
I'm no woodworking artisan - I live in an apartment very high in the sky, for one - but I watch your videos because you come across as the sweetest, kindest, most articulate talented person I could ever have to explain complex art-forms to me. Ever.🙏🙏❤️
I’m just a hobbyist with a few tools but I wanted to pick up a planer (or jointer) next and wasn’t sure how to proceed. Thanks for the information explained in a clear way for beginners.
I am a little "elevated" at the moment, but i found this video probably one of the most important ones in my woodworking learning. I had a really hard time understanding how referencing off a guide once and creating "flat", without squaring it up. You explained it so well and i really appreciate it!
There's a lot of RU-vidrs out there that have videos on this subject but I have to say You are one of the best out there at not only sharing information but making it fun to watch. 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.
I have to agree with a review I read from 3 years ago. I've watched several videos on planer/jointer differences, and while they made sense I still wasn't quite sure I was "getting it." This video explained everything in a manner I easily understood - plus it will save me from buying a jointer at this point. Well done, many thanks!!
This is amazing! I’ve taken a few woodworking classes using industrial quality machines, but seeing it done with the tools you have makes me want to get back into it, without investing in a huge workshop and tools Thank you!
This method WORKS!! Before I got my benchtop jointer I used this method with my thickness planer to get rough timber completely flat and square for glue-up and segment wood turning. Thanks for showing us how this works in this well explained common sense demo! 👍🏾
Your explanations of all the steps are the best I’ve ever seen. I feel like I just learned more in this one video than all other woodworking videos I’ve seen combined! Thank you! Can’t wait to watch more of your videos!
Ok, I figured it out... I'm in England. What you call a planer, we call a thicknesser What you call a jointer, we call a planer. I've learnt to do simultaneous translation, and it all makes sense. Keep up the good work Tamar; I love the way there isn't a second wasted in your films, and the aesthetic of your furniture.
I just wanted to say thank you for dressing appropriate for the work you are doing. Many of the women on RU-vid doing woodworking dress to attract attention to their bodies. I appreciate that you use your chanle to teach about woodworking. Thank you!!!
Yes! Yes, exactly! I have been watching other videos and they talk about squaring the board but never really describe the why they do the steps they show. It’s like light builds turning on all the time with her videos. Excellent job 3x3! I appreciate it!
Wow you’re a rock star. You explained this so much more thoroughly. As a dude you’re expected to know so much of this stuff so they just show don’t tell.
Tamar, the RU-vid algorithm brought this video to me today, and I'm so grateful! You are a terrific instructor! Your knowledge and experience show up as confidence and self-assurance, which are tempered by your humble desire to make these skills approachable to all. Your delivery removes the barriers so that viewers (me included) can see themselves moving forward on their own creative projects. I'm now a subscriber and look forward to seeing your other videos. Well done!
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.
Couldn't agree more! I don't have the money for a jointer, but have so much rough wood! Now... I don't need one (yet).... Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I can't wait to try it.
I love when I watch a video and instead of feeling intimidated, I am encouraged. This video did that. Not only do I not have a jointer, I don't even have a table saw yet!. It's my next purchase for my lowly garage shop for sure, but even that has discouraged me because I always feel like I can't make all the amazing stuff I see in all these videos. Watching you explain all these methods just reminds me that these problems have solutions and they don't all require a very expensive tool specifically tailored to the job. Thanks for this video, your wonderful commentary, and patiently explained instructions. They gave this amateur some hope and encouragement. Thank you!
So awesome to hear. I love comments like this. I hate when people say they can’t make stuff bc they don’t have the “right” tools. There is ALWAYS another way!
very nice explanation and clear demonstration. i like how you emphasized principles so the viewer can improve his understanding of why, which always leads to a better what. i have one small criticism, @ 17:15 we see a blade burn mark accompanied by your comment that a ripping blade would probably have avoided the burn mark. i dont think so. the reason for the burn mark was the feed stalled between your pushing the board with your right hand and switching to a push stick, also with your right hand. the thing that avoids marks is smooth, continuous feed with constant blade speed and a sharp blade. in this case i want something other than my left hand holding the board against the fence. that way i can start feeding with my left hand and switch to my right hand holding a push stick with almost no change in pressure/feed rate. so, you wanna prevent burn marks? use something to hold your work against the fence and free up both your hands to handle the feed more smoothly. if you have knots or other variations that could slow the blade, then you need to make two passes, the final pass being just a kerf or half-kerf at constant speed. you didnt need two passes on tis board, but you always need a constant feed rate to get a clean cut
I’ve watched this multiple times, now put it to practice several times with my thickness planer and I’m so grateful for these tips!! Now watching again to see if there’s anything I’ve missed, and continue trying to master it!!
I have seen a lot of women trying to be a joiner but I have a lot of respect for you you know your thing and you are good at explaining it to people. 10 out of 10 and I have learnt some new things from you your a new 🌟
@@3x3CustomTamar ..."I had a board that used to be all twisted and wonky"....LOL. I can relate. I have known a few people who used to be all twisted and wonky, but I won't go there. ;-)
You're amazing. The video was pretty clear and I love how even though it's an intimidating process to beginners, you made it seem so easy to try. Thank you.
Planer is WAY more useful around the shop for general overall use than a jointer, if you could only have one. I consider a planer an absolute necessity and a jointer more a luxury. Unless you are doing a lot of edge jointing for panel glue ups, etc you really can get by for the most part without a jointer especially when you consider their price.
I’m really glad that you mentioned inner-moisture content and correcting for it. That’s a detail that I was unaware of… for longer than I like to admit. 😂 Really great videos! I get at least one great tip out of every one. Thank you! 😊
your wood working skills are clearly evident, but your true talent is your detailed explanations including loads of variations for many differences in our individual situations. love it. whenever I’m hunting a specific skill, technique and I see you post on that technique I look at yours and end up clearer and more confident than before. much appreciate.
Brilliant tutorial with lots of great advice along the way. I'm just waiting on a Triton TPT125 that's coming today and this will really help when I come to mill my own pieces. Many thanks.
The best way to get around no jointer is - get good with hand planes - a good jointer and fore plane, well sharpened and set up can give you a flat face and edge to work from in very little time.
No single best way. Good luck getting through some of the denser exotic woods. The time wasted setting everything up, the sharpening, etc. is just not worth it. If that system works for you, great. But is it the best? Not if you want to save time.
God bless you girl! Like you, I'm in the North East. My shop is in a separate three car garage and since it's 17 degrees this morning it would take 6 or so hours to bring the temp up enough to be comfortable................so I'll watch you instead...LOL PS....Bundle UP!
I had a sneaky suspicion u were from the north east USA from a few words your accent really brings out, reminding me of Steven from the Arabella project... who I believe is from up there...loving their work too👍😃🇺🇸🥶❄️
Okay I swear that I’ve search for so many tutorials of wood working and women are so much more informative and clear. I am learning as I go and as a woman I appreciate your tutorial! You answered just about every question I’ve had.
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.
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.
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....
@@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.
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.
Great video. Very well explained too. So many vids are produced, on various woodworking subjects that leave a heap of information out. For example, setting up a set of draw slides. They only mention about setting them up on the carcus. Then leave you hanging on the draw, or don't tell you how to line up and install the draw front. Again Great video thankyou!
If your planing thinner materials sometimes you can’t add enough shims to keep the planer from distorting the board. Here is an added strategy for complicated boards. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qPBD_AJsVCM.html Shout out to Jonathan Katz Moses for putting this video together to demonstrate my method.
İ love your videos. İ enjoy your videos all the way from Tūrkiye and learning a lot. İ especially appreciate the fact that you explain things like you explain to a 4 years old. Thank you! ❤
This is so awesome! Just tried this yesterday, followed your steps 1 by 1 and created the most perfect boards out of a really wonky, warped, recycled rafter beam. Thanks so much for that! I am truly grateful.
I love how you honestly and cheerfully put together the process. Additionally, you always talk about the “other” conditions that must be considered if something is outside of your example. Great job!
This video is one of the best examples that money is no problem when you've got creativity and wit. Thank you so much for sharing, you're a true inspiration, Tamar! ♥
You’re an excellent teacher. This was a textbook example of every single skill we try to emulate in top tier universities teaching engineering. Hats off!
I am new in woodworking so for the past week and a half I have been watching a lot of videos on carpentry/woodworking and this Video is BY FAR the most useful and informative video . I feel I went skipped elementary, high school and college. YOU HAVE THE KNOWHOW! period! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!
Always keeping a lookout for useful things my Dad and I ran across a 12' long aluminum "stud", not sure term to use. 6" wide 1" tall with a lip. Not solid but with ribs to keep it straight. Anyway we clamp that to table saw fence, it's an old large table 220v saw, and that does great for cutting crooked lumber up to 8 feet long. Cut one side flip it over cut the other side just enough to get an even edge and now you have two perfectly parallel sides.
I've seen so many videos on this process, worked with local veterans, and practiced endlessly; this is by far the best explanation and instruction for this process! New subscriber for life.
Thank you!!! Yes, most of us Don’t have jointers. These videos of workarounds are very necessary for most of us trying to do our best, but without the $$$ tools.
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.💙😎
This is really helpful to me. I want a planer (don't have one) and I have a small shop. I don't want a jointer if i can avoid it. Thanks to this video, I can see a way to maximize my investment in a planer now. Thank you!
This is by far and away the best explanation of how you can make ordinary lumber into usable stock without a jointer. I knew all of the steps before watching the video. I’ve read countless Pinterest articles detailing jigs you need to make or methods to do this. But you put it all together. Not only that; but along each step you not only said what you can do, but the “why.” I think this gets lost so much and I’m really grateful for what you did and I think you should be proud of this video. Plus it looked cold out there, so you get extra props. 😎👍
Great explanations and the last bit about drying movement I’ve never heard, or even thought about before. You are so kind and genuine that I also don’t mind that you have a longish commercial in the middle. And you should find a way to say “drawers” a couple of times in every video (being from the South, I still love that video!)
I have wondered about the positioning on the table saw jig for jointing since I first saw them, you are legit the first person to explicitly say " it does not matter" thank you!! gonna go try mine out right now!
I am just starting a few simple home projects with a cheap table saw, cheap miter saw, and a decent circular saw. You are now my hero. Well done...really well done!!
I can’t count how many videos I watched just to get the information you gave in the first 5 minutes. The rest of the video was straight bonus material. Great demo and explanation ! Thanks!
Tamar, it's truly a pleasure to watch you explain and give us viewers of your channel a way to solve different problems. Thanks for sharing your innovative ideas.
Super helpful information and easy to follow. While I was watching this my 4 yr old girl came to see me as she was decked out in her princess regalia. She was surprised to see you and said usually guys do it (other woodworking videos I watch). I told her girls can do it to. So she pulled up a chair to watch the rest. She likes to help me with projects when its a good time to do so. She's an expert "blue screw" finder (Kreg 2 1/2 in pocket screws) among other 4 yr old appropriate tasks. Thanks for the video!
Great video! I am a less is more guy because I don't have the space for extra power tools. The jointer is a tool I have done without in my 30 years of woodworking .
I don't have a joiner or a planer. I have a router but not a router table. You can make a jig to flatten a board with the router. I think you mentioned that. I learned a few things from this video I didn't know before. Good job explaining how to do things. Thanks.
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!
YOU are just amazing on explaining the step by step process of the work and the way you speak makes it simple to understand. Perfectly formed sentences. You rock !!
Although I have a jointer, it is only a 6" one and has small in-feed and out-feed. I know is an older video but I just found it and I really appreciate you delivery on how to do this. I have seen others use a much more technical method of deliver and it left me scratching my head. You teach very well and it is greatly appreciated!
Terrific video. I suppose there may be better woodworkers on RU-vid (although I would not be remotely qualified to make that call), but I am fully confident in saying that I have not seen a better teacher. You have the gift of imagining (remembering) the beginner’s mind, and so you include all the little details that can make the difference between understanding and not understanding on the part of the watching beginner. Thank you!!!
@@3x3CustomTamar I’ve watched umpty-ump videos on how to use a planer, and not one except yours showed how to set up the machine for that first cut. Never having used a planer, let me tell you that question was burning in my mind. Then here you came and provided that information, because you remember what it is to be a newbie. Keep up the great work!!!
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!
I don't know why, and I'm disinclined to speculate, but you, Anne of All Trades, April Wilkerson, and other female carpenters/builders just seem to be more gifted at explaining things and diving deeper into details. I watch a ton of RU-vid videos posted by a wide variety of individuals. I especially appreciate that you don't try to toss in a lot of extemporaneous gags and humor. While that might be cute and entertaining for some, I prefer facts, not entertainment. I watch Disney for entertainment. That said, I have a jointer! (haha) - but this was still a really good post. Well done!
