With only the information from this short, you have no way of knowing if he flattened it. You might think he just removed an equal part of the top layer of wood, but it is possible he is checking for twist and high spots and removing the highs with the short bodied (smoothing size) electric planer.
Going against the grain is a common way of flattening with hand planes, both electric and traditional. You will often see twist and cupping in large board and slabs and will need to remove these high spots by traversing the grain. There is nothing inherently wrong with cross grain cuts with tools, I’m not sure where you’re getting your information from.
@cracktact7676 While what you say has merit, the manner in which this guy does it is not correct. I also have that plane. I got it a couple of months ago. Now that I have experience with that exact one, his technique is exponentially less correct as random cuts will not produce correctly planed wood. Also, sanding against the grain like that with a belly sander will produce scratches and gouge it, which can be cleaned up with an orbital, though it was not necessary in this situation.
@@travislebaube7646 I will admit I’ve never used an electric plane and I can see how the erratic nature of the electric plane could lead to tear out with cross grain movement. I also forgot he did sanding in the video.
Jesus Christ died for all of our sins. He died the death we all deserved. He was the perfect one who never sinned once, but he loved us so much he decided to die for us so our sins would be paid for and we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven before God the Father blamelessly. He is the living son of God who wants to know us and have a personal relationship with us. No matter what you have done no matter how far gone you think you are Jesus can and will save you. All you have to do is confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. Believe that he died on the cross for your sins and had a bodily resurrection 3 days later. We cannot be saved by our works but by faith in Christ alone. Repent and turn to Christ. You will have joy, happiness, love, and peace beyond understanding.😊
@@charlyred111 This didnt flatten a damn thing. The issue with using a hand planer is that it can only reference whats around it. An actual planer references the whole bottom plate which is metal and actually flat. This is just the equivalent to eyeballing level and plumb.
@@ColtCraighow do you think boards were flattened before jointers and surface planers? Hand planes, and you can certainly flatten any size board with even the shortest of them, just by keeping track of high spots with a straightedge or winding sticks. Please read up on the history of the craft.
Great 👍just as rough as before, if not more so.
hahahaa
You are the new God.
🤣🤣🤣
This is the most painful wood working video I’ve ever seen
I'd like to see a straight edge on that dubious surface. Oh God, have mercy of those poor tools!
Go with the grain. 👍
Not necessary at all. Please explain why you think this is bad practice.
Terrible!
Still not flat.. just smooth. The two are very different.

How to clean wood with a hand planer😂
If you leveled that surface freehand then you are the most gifted craftsman in the world 😅
Leveling surfaces like this freehand with planes is extremely common in the hand tool woodworking sphere.
Guess they didn’t level anything before the invention of power tools
Nice video!
that by no means is flattening. That is removing top layer of wood.
By the means of removing more of the top layers of wood in specific areas, that is flattening.
Use some hand tools you will learn a thing or two.
Should have just said get a sander
He uses a sander in the video. If you mean a surface planer or a drum sander, that’s far from necessary.
Well that was useless. Not a how to video in the slightest.
Thank you. My thought as well.
Router on a jig seems to be the poor man's method.
Plenty of videos out there....
Gave me chest pains to watch him go against the grain the entire time

What a shocker! I saw nothing related to flattening in this clip. Simply taking th off-saw finish away, isn't flattening. Time waster.
Thank you for following me and supporting me
This is the worst woodworking I’ve seen on TH-cam ..
Better than a sander

A Lot of TH-cam carpentry experts in this comment section🤦great Job...
Thats so unsafe
You do know that the video was speed up?
As a carpenter, I must admit I have to ask what makes you think it's unsafe?
@@RedAndYellacuddlyFellayou’re not a carpenter if you don’t know
@@offimoo9995there is absolutely nothing wrong or unsafe shown in the video.
Soooo what was the second tool used??
Thank you for your support
Looks like a portable belt sander of some variety (I am new to woodworking as a whole though so it’s very possible I’m wrong)
Planer then belt sander
That looks pretty awful. not level at all....
Level is the wrong term here. Regardless, how can you distinguish flat from cupped or twisted with your eye, from the top?
No.
Why
@@charlyred111 Look up a video from an actual woodworker on this and you'll see how flawed this method is.

It is smooth. But it isn't flat for sure jacksa$$.
🙈
this is the worst.
All the to, none of the how.
