When you flipped the board I actually said “shut up!!” out loud to the video. Fantastic idea

This is the best “i dont have a jointer” video I’ve ever seen, and all of which I was desperately in need. Thanks A LOT for the lesson!

“Been woodworking for 173 years and always learning something new Thanks”

*You* sir just saved me $300 on the cheapest jointer I could find. Thanks a million.

Thanks for this clear, concise explanation for 'jointing' without a jointer.

Now Stumpy, show us how to turn a table saw into a CNC machine.

The way he explains it makes it clear and obvious on how each step affects the work. I think it will be cheaper for me to buy some ply before I think about getting a jointer.

WHAAAAT?!?!? Just when you think the Stumpster can’t bring you any other brilliant suggestions that are beyond cost effective… he gives us this!! 😃👍

35 years and I still learn a new technique every now and then. Thank you, Mr Nubs!

This was a fantastic explanation I've been in the business for 20plus years and it's the first time I've seen this way of straightening a board and I will definitely be using it. Thank you 💓

Hey, thanks for all your videos. Anytime you cover a topic, I consider it to be the authority on it. And the discount codes are always a nice touch.

This is so brilliantly simple, I'm in awe. Genius!

Very, very well put tutorial. Again, thank you James for the best how tos in woodworking. And the sharpening system is the bomb too!

Thank you! That looks easier than any other method I’ve seen.

That is a great idea. It's simple and safe to perform, conserves material and would be real handy for a hobbyist. Great tip.

This was so helpful. I had a bunch of 12' batu boards, all bowed, that I need to get a straight edge on. This worked beautifully.

Nice, innovative, and safe way to straighten edges. Sweet!

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan! THAT was awesome! I have a planer, a router and a table saw. I've watched just about every single video on RU-vid about a workaround to get a straight edge. This was awesome. I've watched your videos and learned a lot from you. But this might be the best. Thanks man. Great thinking.

Hola! 🖐 This is genius!!! I always wondered and tried to envision EXACTLY what you just showed on this video and I could just not put it together. Thank you much for this video, it's going to help me a ton. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊

Very smart! I especially liked the "start by straightening the concave edge" detail, useful principle beyond this specific application.

Have a small bench top jointer that couldnt handle a long board. This worked like a charm....saved a ton of time! Thanks!

God bless Stumpy! Another incredibly helpful technique especially in my shop with no jointer. I’ve use other techniques with the table saw but this seems to be best practice.

What a great educator you, are making woodworking life easier for so many of us. Many thanks for another great and informative video.

That's the most simple table saw jointing jig I've seen! I have a jointer but when it comes time to glue up a panel there's often that one stubborn board that doesn't want to play nice. What a quick and easy way to whip it back into shape. Thanks for the tip!!!

Just blew my mind with this approach 👏👏👏 thank you so much

👍 nice simple joining tip! I made a split router fence with an outfeed which is adjustable similar to a jointer table.

Just made one of these and holy crap it works great. Thank you!!!

Thank you Stumpy you saved my bacon. I had a cheap table saw that cut my boards all crooked and once I upgraded the saw I had to fix those boards and this jig did the trick and was so much simpler than the jointer sleds I've seen in other videos.

Very nice method. Well explained. I am finishing up a 54x54 black walnut pedestal table this weekend and have used this method for the table top boards. Easy and effective! Thank you.

Awesome video. Going to use this technique way easier and safer than my obsolete way.

A great technique for jointing. Filing it away with the several other ways of getting a straight edge. I feel like there are several, each having its pros and cons. This one is definitely going high on the list.

Brilliant idea and as usual, so clearly explained and demonstrated. Thank you!

This might be the best quick tip I've seen on this channel (and maybe anywhere else), although I'm just a novice casual woodworker, it's so obvious I feel dumb for not thinking about it before

This is really quite clever - good to have some of these creative solutions in one's toolbox.

An excellent technique for jointing - thanks so much! I've saved this video and will use this technique in future.

This is a brilliant idea. I made a small jig for my job site table saw that works, but requires clamps and more time to run multiple pieces. I’ll be making one of these as soon as it warms up out there.

Very clever for those of us without jointers. Thank you for showing how it's done. I just used this technique on some 8' lumber that had developed crooks and was very impressed. Thank you again.

Wow what an elegant solution! Love it

What an awesome tip. I don't have a jointer, and even if I could afford one, I don't have the room for it in my little cubby... Saved this tip, and will DEFINITELY be putting it into practice when I go to glue boards together in the future.

Wow man. I have a jointer and I think I’m going to use your method anyway.. Nice tip!

Made one of these today and let me say, Mr. Nubs you are an absolute GENIUS!!! Worked a treat and and SO SIMPLE!! It saved me a bunch of money (and shop space) by not having to buy a jointer.

GENIUS! This is perfect for me in my limited space and equipment shop! Thanks for sharing.

Good lord man !! Is there no end to your genius? 👏👏 I’m just starting out in woodworking and like a typical man dived straight into the deep end and decided to build a writing desk. Turns out straightening 5’ long board on a 6” bench top jointer doesn’t work to well. This video saved both the day and my sanity! 👏👏👍

This is by far the best idea I have seen. Still it’s not going to stop me from making a tapering jig. I’ll just have more weapons in my arsenal. Thank you.

Thank you for uploading this, I used your method and it worked great.

Brilliant! I only knew of the one where you use the scrap plank as a sled, riding along the rip fence, and attach the board to be jointed to it with clamps, screws and scrap blocks, double-stick tape, etc. (essentially, a simple tapering jig). And of course, the disadvantage of that one is that the scrap/sled has to be longer than the board being jointed -- a neat trick when you're trying to joint an 8-foot board! This method, which turns the scrap plank into the infeed and outfeed tables of the jointer, removes that length restriction!

The jointing tip was a good one and the M-Power sharpening system looks great. Thanks.

WOW!!! That was really helpful for a "jobsite" solution for a jointer! Thanks-

Thanks for sharing with us James. Great sharpening system. Fred.

Cutting an unwieldy 4x8 plywood sheet into 16 3.5" strips with a circular saw, used this trick to straightened my imperfect cuts. Much better results. Thanks much!

Great tip and clear demonstration. Thank you.

That was a bloody clever for straightening the edges of boards... And well presented too.

Great method and such a simple idea! Thank you!

Just subscribed to your channel. This advice on jointing is timely and EXTREMELY helpful. I have 10 red cedar boards to mill and no jointer in my shop to do it. Thanks 😀

WOW!!! Awesome edge jointing tip!

Thanks for the advice! It has worked great and I wish I had seen this video before. It is a time saver!!

I knew you would have a way to join with the saw. I just did not imagine it would be this awesome! You've essentially transformed the saw in a jointer. I can't wait to try it out. Thank you! What about fixing a twisted board on a saw?? Is there a magic for that up your sleeve??

Thanks for making me look brilliant by using your tips and tricks.

I just spent days on the floor, rubbing my wood against a flat surface covered in sand paper, and a level. It took alot of time, but it gave me plenty opportunity to day dream about owning a jointer, tablesaw, or even a workbench.

Man, you are a genius! What a useful skill. This is awesome, thank you!

Great video - thanks for the explanation of how to do this without a jointer.

Another excellent video that I learned something completely new from. Thanks!

This is brilliant. I can't fit a jointer in my shop, and have limited space for storing large jigs, so will absolutely be using this

Great idea, James. That part downstream of the riving knife is the jointer outfeed table equivalent. I thought you were going to double stick the straight piece on the top of the board to be jointed, overhanding the side away from the blade and run the straight piece against the fence.

Neat trick! Thanks for the channel and all the helpful content!

Very clever shortcut, thanks.

I tried this and it worked great on my jobsite saw - very good results. I can't remember if it's mentioned but this method works so well on longer boards too which would otherwise be a little harder to affix to a 2 or 3ft sled and run through.

At first I thought it was just another video on a tapering jig used to make a straight edge but this is insanely useful. No need to use specialized clamps to clamp down every board you want to “joint” to a jig.

Awesome tip explained simply, as always. Thanks!

Great tip, plus I’m seriously looking at the referenced sharpening system. Thx.

I’ll be using this for sure. Thanks!

Great tip! Thanks for all the videos.

Holy cow, this is genius! Thank you!

man this is epic! I didn't want to take the time to make a jig. And there it is, you have the perfect answer!

THANK YOU for this video! Great method.

Thanks for the discount code, I just ordered mine!

Very cool. I see that as especially useful if you have to joint thin stock.

Very clever trick! Never considered doing that.

This method completely blew my mind.

Wow! I'll be making one of these.

What a cool trick! Thanks for this video

This is just brilliant!

Great use of the K.I.S.S system!

Thanks Stumpy made this item with a few mods work like a treat. Regards LLoyd from Australia.

That is a great idea! Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks for the video. That was some well needed advise. Now to pull out a piece of plywood and try it.

Brilliant, James! Thanks a lot for all the tips! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Brilliant! Doing that for sure from now on. Beats keeping a super long tapering sled around.

good video stumpy all the best from England

Awesome tip thank you very much for making this video

Excellent. Just what I needed.

Thx for the video - great idea!! I am going to be using this for sure!

Made one and it worked well for a while. What I found is that after you use it a few times, placing it back on the table multiple times, you dig just a bit deeper into the wood and your work hits the end of the jig after the riving knife. I just end up making another one.

I've watched many of your videos.This one earned the sub/notify. Thank you! Keep 'em coming.

Love this idea

Wow what that's a nifty little trick!

So weird, I've been doing this for 15 years, thought I came up with it. Super cool you made a video about it. Been threatening to do my own woodworking channel, but it would be hard to be having good has this one. Thanks for all the tips even the ones I knew.

Ah wow. This is amazing

Awesome tip! Thanks so much for sharing and saving me money! 👍🏼
