So many acronyms for this! We call it S4S (surfaced 4 sides) or more commonly DAR (Dressed All Round). I can concur without the bench tools it takes AGES.... which is why I rarely use it. Your local yard sounds awesome.
It's not very often or ever that you get a length of wood and it's straight on one side never mind on all four sides. You have just shown that there can be a lot of work involved before you even start to make a piece for a customer who is probably unaware of what is involved. Love your vids mate, regards, Fred
Interesting to see the process on more familiar and accessible workshop machinery. I think the thicknesser would be really useful but it's a big outlay for my one-off jobs. I'll have to stick to three hours of relaxing hand-planing. Cheers.
Very interesting video, I don't have either a thicknesser or planer/jointer still trying to convince the wife I need to save up & purchase both so it's the hard way for me until then great video as always 👍☺️
Thanks Mark, ye I prefer the individual machines, I'm not keen of switching between the two on the combination machines as I had one originally and didn't get on with it.
Karl you legend. Very informative video. How did you go about making the fence for your planer? Need to upgrade mine as it has the non-square aluminium fence.
Hi David mine is the Rutlands model but if search online there is plenty of model exactly the same so I'd go for the best price, I'm pretty sure there all built in the same factory for different companies. 😊
Yet again an awesome video informative and I always learn loads watching your channel I have a question regarding table saws I have a lumberjack table saw downt judgei thought it was a good one at the time and after 3 years o so I am so frustrated with the fence it does my head in can you offer advice on what one to get next because I do not know what one to go for next thank you for taking the time to read this any advice would be much appreciated
Good clear video Karl. Is that your garage at home? It's massive. For anyone wondering how you're going to afford 3000 GBP of equipment, this can all be done by hand too, but it takes a really long time and quite a bit of skill too.
Hi Alex thanks mate, this is my workshop mate not at home it's a unit I rent to work from. My planer was £140, thicknesser £350 and table saw £500 so not quite 3k mate 🤣 but still a lot of money. If you look back to my first video you will see I didn't always have such a grand space lol
Great to see the process mate. I've been thinking about getting a benchtop jointer thicknesser, purely hobbyist stuff. Do you have any experience or opinion on them?

Bloody ell, brings back some memories. Great explanation of the process. Top man
Cheers Steve 😀

Enjoyed watching Karl. Tony
Thank you Karl, a very informative and well explained video.
Your more than welcome Steve.
Well explained Karl...nice one
Cheers mate, 😀
I've had PSE from Wickes and had to plane it again because it was cupped!
Ive found this too. I struggle to find pse timber in Wickes or b&q that isn't cupped. Lots of sifting through the pieces to find the best ones.
Good video

Cheers Trevor try a second hand search mate, that's what I did on my first buy.
Enjoyed your video. Is there a reason you've chosen separate planer and thicknesser machines rather than a combined machine?

What model is your bench top planer. Can't see it in your tool list. :)

Thank You :)
@@davidhonan4803 prepare for a crappie fence in this price range though mate. Easily solved though and then it's fine for smaller jobs.

Hi John if its a site saw your after I'd stick with the main brands, ie Dewalt Bosch Makita Milwaukee as these are all decent. Thanks mate.
Karl which vac are you using with your chop saw bud?
Curious dude, why didnt you run the width through the thicknesser instead of the table saw?
Hi Ben habit, because generally I take it down to rough thickness on the table saw to speed things up.
And I always used to do this because I then had the faceside on the table saw and the face edge on the fence but I don't think that's necessary.

so how is this different from planed all round? I thought PSE meant planed on just one side so you had one flat side to work with accurately?
In the UK its just called pse which means planed square on four sides.
Great to see the process mate. I've been thinking about getting a benchtop jointer thicknesser, purely hobbyist stuff. Do you have any experience or opinion on them?
