I had a telegram bot trying to scam me saying I won something from you lol. Repoted of course but thought I'd mention.
Mimicry is the highest form of flattery, so they say
Where's the link to the new channel you mentioned?
I got hit by the telegram bot too, TH-cam really needs to deal with these jokers.
It's not even a clever scam, the same type of bot tried to contact me a week ago on the "look mum no computer" channel.
@@Zephirot080 It's in the cards in the upper right corner of the video.
@@Zephirot080 heres the link to the bourbon bites page

The fact that you went through all that effort to bring sawhorses and wood into a river for a 3 second clip 😂😂
I pulled up the comments just to say the exact same thing! It's the little things!
Guys, go watch his first boat build series from a few years ago - pretty sure that was a clip from that series. Haha
A testament to his commitment to good milling.
It makes a difference , glad to see it actually
Yup remember he's acting and content creating...not woodworking
Outstanding! I love seeing the transformation from logs to lumber. The precision in handling those logs is unmatched. I learned something new today about sawmilling. Looking forward to more content like this. Please keep sharing these awesome videos!
I asked for this last week, so in my head you did this for me. Also, in my head, this is justification for me to buy another tool. Sooo.. in my head, my wife won’t be mad at me.
Thanks. 🤙🏼
Make something for your wife and give it to her. Let her know you had to buy the tool to be able to make it for her. Worked for me :)
@@tektrixter Sage advice
So I find something my wife wants. Then I go find one and show her how much it costs and the quality. Then I mention I could make her that and with better quality. Get her committed. then explain you may need to buy a few special tools you’ll need. Always works for me.
@@mwoody4560 then tell her it cost more to make because of the tools you purchased.🤭 Make sure you forget the part that you can use the tools for other projects.
@@tektrixter Exactly! I bought my planer when I built a keepsake box for my wife. Now she wants a blanket chest - I think I can start shopping for a jointer.
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
For anyone who goes to the comments before watching the video to see if it’s worth watching. This is the video you want to watch. Well done, thank you for the help and entertainment.
As a very beginner I found 1 tip with table saw that I didn’t figure by myself . Video ok but it’s at the dumbwood level . I expected some pro fancy tips or maybe they do not exist . Anyway thank you for table saw tip
Ive had no one to help me, train me or anything. This is the best example I've seen on milling. Thank you SOO much!
Nice overview!
I'll add to what you said at 7:00... cutting up the pieces to the general length before you mill... it also reduces the amount you need to mill. A bow/twist/cup is easier to fix in a short piece vs. a long piece and takes far less removal of material, leaving more for use after.
I do the width also - less to remove when you cut it up then reglue and it’s more stable particularly if you flip the pieces
And make sure your shortest piece can go through your thicknesser and still contact the hold-down rollers!
@@davidlove1887 and lose ALL wonderment and excitement when using tools that can cut off a finger?
6:32 Hilarious! Thank you for taking the time for this cut scene, it was fantastic! And it does illustrate a really great point about where the wood potentially came from.
was going to make the same comment.....was a hilarious touch
As a non woodworker who watches woodworking videos, I really appreciate this content.
It is deeply satisfying
Maybe it is time to jump in.😂 Just go for it. It feels good.
This man was incredibly helpful Thank you ! Simple and thorough explanation priceless
Wanted to say an honest 10/10 on the visual guide of running the piece through joiner given I have no experience I have been curious about how it works on uneven pieces like you showed. But not just demonstrating you nailed the actual content along side the with the editing. Just wanted to make sure I vocalized some appreciation to your work. Especially in the little details
One thing you didn’t mention is grain direction and if you don’t feed the board the correct way through a jointer or planer you will get chip out.
This is one of the best wood working videos I’ve ever seen. The thoroughness you used, and the time to go through and explain the why’s to each step, was amazing. I’ve been a follower on multiple platforms for a while but this video was awesome.
That was by far, the best explanation of the milling process I've ever watched. Thanks!
I just took over the woodshop at my school, and this video has helped me immensly. I consider myself a "rough" carpenter in that the stuff I make works, but it doesn't look good. This video is going to make me better at my new craft, on my journey.
Thank you.
Hey Jason, my name is Alex. I just wanted to thank you for your videos. You have given me the confidence to move from rough construction to furniture and cabinetry
Perfect video... I'm a new and enthusiastic woodworker but I've never milled wood because I haven't yet got a jointer or a thicknesser, but now I know I can do it with a thicknesser and a table-saw, I'm going to try that. Oh how my neighbours are going to love me!
I'm really new to woodworking and slowly expanding my tools, and the tip about using plywood on the table saw for a reference straight edge was a PERFECT creative solution until I can afford a jointer. Thanks Jason!
Good episode. I enjoy the the personal touch you give to your content. You have a great sense of humor. Keep it up!
🎉🎉🎉 yay more videos !!!!! You are the reason I’m obsessed with woodworking!!! You make it look sooo easy and being I’m only 4’11 and a half some things are already a challenge but I’m a woman who loves a good challenge so I offen find myself trying to make the same huge projects lol and like I said you make it look a lot easier than it is hahahaha but I look. Forward to the new channel thanks for being awesome!!!
One piece of advice I would add would be to use chalk. Before you face joint and later plane, mark the faces with chalk. This makes it easier to see that you get the entire face milled.
That was really informative. It's nice to have specific definitions for things I hear people talking about all the time!
Stellar video, Jason. Thanks so much for this resource. I teach woodworking at a local maker space and I always mention taking boards to the shortest dimension before milling because it averages out the total warp in a piece of wood, and it's a part of the process that many TH-camrs barely cover or don't mention at all. I'm now going to refer people to this video, because it's the video I'd make on the subject if I did such things.
Thanks for this. i'm currently in the process of milling a bunch of white oak for a table build and don't have a jointer. it's a slow process but it's getting there. One nice thing is that your planar sled and table saw jointer sled can be the same piece of wood since they both need to be longer than the board you're milling. I like to use melamine because it slides so easily.
It's always sunny when sawing on the Schuylkill River, bruddah
Look brother, your content is simply A5 - you keep that up. Unless you want to stop and have both a bourbon AND a beer with this Canadian fan.
Love you stuff, bud!
Had to rewind a couple of times - caught myself just staring at Danny DeVito. Hypnotic
This is so helpful Jason. Thanks for even talking through the lumber buying process!
Thanks for making this. It was very informative to someone who’s never used a jointer and planer. Just general miter and table saw construction.
Nice work, Jason! At any point through the milling phase it's also pretty handy to mark the whole face you're milling with pencil so you can see whats been cut and what hasn't.
It’s really cool that Danny DeVito is always hanging out at the shop. He’s probably so fun to hang out with.
I know. I'm thinking of buying a barge! its a metal tub that goes really really fast. I'm learning woodworking so I can build an interior. Fancy making more inbuilt stuff? Like the inside of my barge...? yayyyy
I learned quite a bit here and subbed! That dashing/ diving thing you're doing is probably going to hurt 10 years from now but maybe by then you would have perfected a more graceful entry 😂
That was really well done! Bravo! Cutting material down (ripping) and then jointing, can also save a lot of waste by re-gluing them together after.
This is a great film, very useful. Thanks
Thanks so much. I'm not on Telegram. Just tried to download it on my computer but doesn't work. I don't have a smartphone (I know everyone hates me, sorry). Thanks though. All your videos are very good. But this one was so useful.
still laugh at your physical comedy, never change!!
Nice video. I really enjoy your channel. Another approach for the milling arsenal: Many woodworkers and furniture makers will face joint first, then plane the other face, then edge joint. This doubles your choices for how to joint the edge especially for challenging grain situations. It's some extra leg work but can produce better results later in the process. Hope you don't mind me chiming in.
Thank You! I had been hoping you would show us. Next, how about teaching tool maintenence?
Sawhorse on a river! The production value on these videos are underated
Hey Whiskey. I really enjoy your videos and learn alot from you. I had a woodworking class in High School, probably before you were born, but you still taught me alot and is a passion of mine. I recently retired, but need a little time to set up the machines in my garage.
Danny DeVito "hiding" behide the Total Boat containers at the Beginning is Priceless!
Niiiiiiiiceee one!!!!!
wow, perfect timing, I'm about to mill maple for your 'Oak' hutch plans I bought a little while ago! I appreciate your videos!
Nice work Jason this was a very enjoyable video it's nice to hear your voice coming out of your mouth instead of the usual voiceover. Even though most woodworkers know the steps it is still nice to go over the entire process for those who may not understand why we need all the expensive equipment so we can justify it to our wives....
Never a dull moment watching your videos. Don't change a thing.
Wait what another channel 😮🎉
There’s definitely a joke there about seeing double and drinking whiskey but I can’t put my fingers on it
My favorite part…. The cartoon drawn boards the beginning were excellent 😆
Upvoted purely for the shot of you sawing in a river. The effort for that 2 seconds of b roll...brilliant
I love watching your vids
Keep up the theatrics
😂😂😂❤
Best description of the process from end to end I have seen. Great job.
At 7 seconds into this I subscribed.....that intro was awesome.
Zip, zup, zap..badabin, badabum 😯fantastic explanation of an operation, only apparently trivial, but absolutely FUNDAMENTAL. It's always great to follow you in your videos; useful and.... hilarious!! 😀❤️
Excellent video. Thank you for a very thorough explanation on how you mill.
Thank you for emphasizing face jointing prior to edge jointing. I see so many TH-camrs edge jointing first. In my experience, doing that will only lead to edge jointing again after face jointing in order to get surfaces that are square to each other. I don't have a jointer, but I do have a flat sled which I use to send boards through my planer. It works very well to face surface both faces prior to edge jointing on a sled on the table saw. Something you did not mention is that, if your project permits, the amount of waste in the milling process can be greatly reduced by cutting your boards into smaller boards prior to milling. In your example of the bowed board, cutting the board in half reduces the bow by half. That results in less waste. By the same token, cutting a twisted board in half, whether crosscut or rip cut, will reduce the amount of twist in each of the resulting boards, resulting in less waste. However, to safely rip a twisted board will generally require a band saw.
best intro ever 😆😆
Love the back to the basics. Would love an updated cabinet building basics
funny how you said the "dreaded" cup. cupped boards are my favorite to mill as they don't rock much at all on the jointer
Great explanations and visuals, I actually learned a couple new techniques, so thanks.
Love love love your videos. Not only are they funny, but I have learned a lot. Thank you so much!!!
First thing I see is Danny Devito peeking around the corner, then you crashing into the pile of cups. You certainly bring the entertainment
Only thing I hate with cutting to size is SNIPE. It can be a dirty Biotch. Love the content.
Nice job explaining how to flatten a board.
A great lesson with great tips for a beginner hobbyist carpenter like me. Thanks dude
I love watching your videos you dork 😅 Can’t wait to see bourbon bites!
Oh and is that the Willamette you are standing in with your saw horses? 😂
Great description on how to mill a piece of wood!
Great info! I’ll try to remember all this when I get started cutting my slabs of white oak from the trunks w an Alaskan mill! LoL😊
Thanks for this, it’s very helpful content.
I have been waiting for this from you for a long time. I love that it is succinct even if you left some details out. Thank you!!!
Easily the best channel on TH-cam
wow! i really thought i knew everything about woodworking and this video actually taught me
This is the best explanations and demonstration I've seen on this topic! Thank you!
Great tutorial! I use a jig for my table saw for making straight edges. Works like a champ.
As a “one man band” I now mill trees to a minimum of 2” thick because of the “surprises” that pop up while they’re drying. So many rough stock boards twist and cup and I need to flatten them on a flattening jig.
Thanks for sharing your ideas. Much appreciated 👍👍
@ 20:44 : "Important safety tip, thanks Egon" :D
Another great video Jason the daybed turned out amazing
You should do a segment on milling straight from the tree.
One minor addition is, when looking at cupped or twisted boards. If you need smaller pieces you could get less loss by cutting and jointing like you said. The angles and such work out better and you take less off. But that would be if your options for wood suck of course.
Man you are amazing at explaining things, thanks.
I trick I regularly use, since my shop (and budget) can't yet support a full size jointer. When edge milling long work, I use a power hand planer to knock down the high points and create a reference edge. While this will not be perfectly square, if I can eliminate the rocking, I can the run the reference edge against the fence on my table saw. Takes care and extra work, but you get good at it quickly.
100% best opening slide ever
I’ve been searching your videos for months trying to find a segment about jointing boards. You showed how you did side A and side B and they fit together perfectly. Was hoping you would go over again.
It's in one of the tips and tricks vids. Maybe 3 or 4? Watch them all. You'll find it ; )
@@theoriginalmonstermaker Thank you!!! Going through them now.
Endlich habe ich es richtig verstanden 😅💪🏾
Danke ...
Man!!!! Dany Devito is in your stock pile!!!! 😳 Nice educational vidéo THX for Sharing
On the first bowed board, cut the top part and glue it on the bottom part.
Big brain time!
I have 3 different sleds for my planer: 10.5” , 8’ 3” and a 44”. I put my various sizes on those if there are any Boeing or cup, twist etc. I use masking tape and shims to try to split difference on each end then run it through forwards and backwards. I have the 735 Dewalt and one thing I learned is angle the feed tables all the way up in and out. That 99% for rid of snipe.
Also, if you work with 6” or less width boards, you can plane the edges. I’ll take like 5 pieces of 8/4 walnut like that and run it. Many ways to mill but if I had one choice in machine and I had 600$ I’d go 735 dewalt as you can joint and plane if you are within limits. Over 6” width? Use a piece of melamine, put your stock on top, clamp it down and run the straight edge against fence with your wood on saw side. Get a straight edge, then flip around and run the new straight edge against it and the flip again to square up. Use a track saw, or a circ saw a guide rail. I’ve done it with a level and a jig saw with fine blade.
Lots of options, gotta get creative. I don’t have a jointer so my methods are usually table saw / track saw) and planer.
Of all the videos Ive watched this is the first that said to just use plywood to cut a straight edge on the table saw. Noice 🎉
No finger cutting… just the wood.. got it !! ❤❤
Woops!!!!! Looks like someone hit the fence with a saw blade!!!!!!!
Thank you for this video I am siting you in a presentation for class.
You don't mention it... but there is a more important reason to cut to length than just ease of milling. In case of 2 of the 3 flaws (bow and twist), a shorter length will likely require removing less waste. In fact, that's one thing to consider when evaluating a board. A twisted or bowed board may be perfectly fine if it is gonna be cut into short lengths, and if you find a heavily bowed or twisted board that has great grain, you might even be able to negotiate a discount on it.
Similarly, if you plan to rip a board into strips, you may be able to get away with a cupped board. Just rough cut the strips on a bandsaw, then mill them up. Because the cup of each strip will be a fraction of the overall, you may not need to mill off much material at all.
I must say, the new shop assistant DeVito randomly popping up is a great addition to the channel.
Lol by far my favorite video of yours comedically. The freaking river shot got me gooood.
I really like your thicknesser/planner. The extensions on the in feed and out feed tables really help with reducing snipe. I added some to my portable planner, and that has resulted in less snipe. What is snipe and what causes it?
Demystification station! Thank you!
Excellent video, thanks Jason!
Milling is so oddly satisfying to see happen. Especially rid sawn white oak is so damn beautiful.
GREAT! Video. THanks! 🙂
Pretending like you cut your hand on the joiner made me think of Jamie Perkins
Thanks so much for putting the body slide at the beginning of the video! I knew before watching that I would be annoyed watching this, so I can move on and watch someone who focuses on quality content to get views.
