Can you provide all the links you talked about(or you did but I am too dumb to locate it)? I mean the one about tapering legs on the jointer and one about jointer vs planer.
Do you have the link for the tapering video you referenced ner the end of this video?

@@StumpyNubs I used this video to taper the legs on my desk.
My Ridgid jointer bed was exactly long enough.
I must admit that making that deep of a cut was plenty scary but it worked beautifully.
Keep up the great work man, it is appreciated.
The number one rule dad taught me about working with power tools in general - "Never think about anything else when woodworking. Always remain focused only on the task at hand."
absolutely, positively correct . very smart dad.
Absolutely! And I apologise for liking the comment changing it to 70 likes from 69........😜😂😂😉
Funny enough, in an industrial setting, it's almost the exact opposite. Focus on your work, but never lose awareness of your surroundings. When you're by yourself in your own shop though, I'd agree with you wholeheartedly.
Me: *zones out at work while using a drill press*
For all tools in general, you know how bad a chisel can cut u when u slip
I heard it works well on 👍
Oof. Glad you’re back to work and it wasn’t even more serious.
Nice to see you’re owning it and have a positive attitude about it Jon! For many it can be scary, discouraging and frustrating when a mistake like that happens.
Lol
That’s right omg! Hope you’re doing well, cheers!

These videos are getting more and more excellent. The format is so perfect. There is no time wasting filler in the vids and the explanations are always focused on the big picture and not catered towards your specific tools and projects. Science focused without getting overly technical. The visuals help make the points. And just the right amount of humor.
I wasted more time sitting in academic courses than any human being should be subjected to and your lectures rival very best at any university and any subject I’ve studied.
For sure. The quality in all aspects continues to get better. And it was already great. He really seems to have found his groove. Keep it up James!
Seconded. Well done and informative. Thank you.
Nailed it. Agree with removing the time wasting fillers. My bench top jointer just arrived, and I needed answers quickly.
I have to agree with that!
Said it better than I could!
"If you pet a cat in the wrong direction, somebody's going to have a bad day."
Truer words were never spoken.
Another Fantastic Video! . Nobody on TH-cam, comes close to "Stumpy's content per minute ratio," yet surprisingly, all of Stumpy's top-level content, is explained very simplistically, as such I always leave learning so much- thank you ! /// I Love It! "If you pet a cat in the wrong direction, somebody's going to have a bad day!"
Here's a little common sense reminder that I was taught in shop class in school. The instructor explained how knives fit in the cutter head on the jointer. Pointing to a straight 6 inch gash in the ceiling, he said that is what happens if the screws aren't tightened properly. That lesson was more years ago than many of you have been alive, but it always stuck in my mind.
Great reminder
And the ceiling.
I spend allot of time (farrrrr tooo much!), watching carpentry related videos on TH-cam. I learn so much more from your videos (per minute), than anyone else, BY FAR! I am eternally grateful to you for your perfectly pitched, clear, concise and yet richly informative videos. You cover so much in such a short space of time in a way that is so easily digestible. I've been reflecting on it, you make it look easy and effortless. I'm guessing much thought goes into these "offerings". In my humble opinion you've achieved "mastery" in this aspect of what you do.
Just a helpful tip regarding tearout: you can often see tearout on rough lumber from when it was processed at the mill. Just run the board in the opposite direction and you should be good to go. Saves the step of having to do a test cut.
Solid Gold Content! Not condescending, but easy enough for anyone to grasp. Anyone who can't follow along probably shouldn't have access to sharp instruments.
I want to thank you for never forgetting safety in all your videos. I started watching your channel just before your incident (we never say accident, there's no such thing). I used to know a man who owned a small crane service company. He would not hire a crane operator who had never tipped over a crane. He believed that a person could not fully understand how important it is to work safely unless they've been involved with how bad it can be to not work safely.
Something you said in this video, really stuck with me. It was that you "insist that paddles are used in my shop". There's no one in my shop, except me to insist that I do anything safely. No one is going to shake their head in disbelief or try to stop me from doing something risky. Anytime I do something I know I shouldn't, and get away with it, it just reinforces how "good" I am and emboldens me to take more shortcuts.
This weekend I built a push block for my jointer to replace the one I misplaced weeks ago. Then I cut a slot and glued in a Walnut riving knife for my table saw zero-clearance insert. I just want to thank toy for putting a bug in my ear.
Best jointer tips I have seen to date. Thanks James!
Probably the best video on TH-cam explaining jointers. Much appreciated!
Fantastic educational video yet again James. Your videos just get better and you're a natural teacher. I really appreciate your channel.
Great video, as usual. Loved the line related to cutting with the grain: "If you pet a cat in the wrong direction, someone is going to have a bad day."
I have owned a jointer for about 4 years. And until now I was not using it to its full potential until after watching this video. Now I will not be throwing away as much wood to the burn pile as much. Thankyou for the great tip. Keep them coming brother.😊👍
Learned a lot from this video. Everything makes practically sense, but sometimes just need someone to point it out for you.
That temptation to hook your fingers over the end is exactly why I started using paddles. This was back when I had an underpowered jointer, and tried to ask too much of it.
I'm new at woodworking and i was having really serious sniping problems with my jointer. Thanks to your simple video I was able to fix it completely and I was so proud of my little accomplishment. I can't thank you enough, you're an incredibly competent teacher
Great info on the jointer. Glad you don't try to impress us with all your knowledge. You just tell us what we need to know and why we should do things in a certain way! Thanks for the tutorials without all the thumping of your own chest!
In Europe a jointer is a very different thing. For example in Amsterdam coffee shops they have a jointer that doesn’t plane but rolls.
OMG bring that thing to all of USA. Lots less anger, loads more fun!
Thanks for my morning chuckle. 😉
BEST explanation! I've been searching for 2 hours to learn "how to confirm a milled plank is square on all sides". Lo and behold, this tutorial explains how a jointer performs that function. Thank you!!! 🙏🏽😊
I use a 4 3/8" Craftsman rabbeting jointer mostly because I got it cheap but I like using "classic" tools. Properly set up, even a small jointer can be very useful (& it fits the room i've got for it). I also upgraded the bearings, went from a 1/2 to 3/4 hp motor & sped up the cutter head. It requires almost no sanding on single pieces.
Very good video. Most people know so little about jointers.
There’s only one word to describe the content and production of this video: Excellent. Learning has definitely been achieved.
Absolutely outstanding, benchmark video on the use of a jointer. Clear and concise.
Just picked up a 6” jointer and your video was very informative. Thanks for the clear and informative content!
There's so many channels that recommend what tools "to set up your shop", it's nice to see one that instead explains what the tools are actually for and gives you enough info to decide what you need for yourself. Keep up the great work!
Really enjoy your tutorials. Simple, straightforward and most of all relevant! Thanks again.
Going out to play with the Jointer now that I know where to place pressure. Had been confounded why I could not get anything but curved boards off the darn thing. Great explanation as always.
5 hours later.....
Yep it worked. Loads of flat and jointed cherry waiting for the planer and table saw. Thanks James.... I mean Stumpy... no James.
You are a fountain of knowledge Sir, your meticulous attention to detail is admirable. I enjoy all your videos because I learn so much. Thanks for all the great work that you and your teams do, and I especially like that you introduce other people as you did in this video. Keep up the good work, stay safe and well.
Watched a few other videos on jointers and was more confused than when I started. Watching this one explained it perfectly. Thank you!
I’m a novice woodworker. This was by far the best information about jointers that I have found. Thank you!
Another great lesson at Stumpy School. A perfect refresher for safety and efficiency for me and my jointer.
I like to use a hand plane to knock off the high spots and to make the downward face more stable, especially for removing the rocking between the infeed and outfeed tables.
Why hadn't I thought of that? Thank you.
This video is so good. Everything I always wanted to know.
Never let down with how much good information is presented in a concise but easy to digest way.
Now I get it. Best explanation I have heard for this tool.
Nubs, that was one of, if not, the best explanation on the use of a jointer. Thank you for filming it.
This is so illustrative. Excellent shot towards the end: of the board flowing from infeed in an uneven state, over the cutter head, and then totally flat onto outfeed. More of THAT please. "a picture is worth a thousand words," but a shot like that is worth ALL the words.
Finding your channel on TH-cam has been the single most educational source I've seen on all aspects of woodworking. This is journeyman, or master, level stuff. Thanks for doing what you do so well.
Thank you! I did all four sides on my jointer and it did not work out and came on here to find out the reason and I got it! Thank you!
My long bed six inch jointer with shelix cutter head does everything I need to build furniture in my one-man shop. When I need to joint a wider piece I use an MDF sled with an array of screws that can be set to support the uneven underside of a board up to 12" x 48". In effect, the planer becomes an overhead jointer. Once that side is flattened, I hang up the sled, flip the board, and plane as usual. The sled needs to have a stop on the front end to keep the workpiece secure as the feed rollers of the planer pull sled and workpiece forward.
Your channel is the best resource on the net conveying comprehensive basic information so often ignored. Very concise guide on the use of jointers, thank you
ThankYou for your time!!! I’m relatively new to woodworking but not to power tools or technique. I was a machinist/ toolmaker for 40 years till I retired. I appreciate your willingness to give tips and ideas that a newbie like me can appreciate!! It wasn’t like that in the trades when I started!!! Older journeyman weren’t as willing or quick to give up their lifelong learning experiences, you had to ‘earn’ it for lack of a better word!!! Believe me, a humble attitude went a long way 🙂 You and others are willing to show and teach and I find that a credit to your person. I’ve made an edge planer by just inverting a hand planer and adding a entrance and exit table and attaching it accordingly. It’s ok for edges but after your tutorial I see the benefit of using the tools in sequence ad you’ve directed!!! Thanks again
Best instructions on using a jointer I've seen to date. Thanks so much for this.
Hi James, thanks for the refresher. My paddles are shop made, using kitchen drawer waffle pads for gripping and include two dowels on one end that can be pushed down to hook the end of a board. Thanks always for sharing!
Every one of your videos is very well done! Been watching you for a long time, never been disappointed. You’re doing a great job James!
Thank you for these amazing videos, I have run into almost all of these problems and using my jointer will be such a pleasure now.
Outstanding tutorial. I only wish I had one. It’s on my list. Thank you for teaching me so much.
Thank you! I’ve been following you for years and continue to learn things. I have a jointer and use it all the time, but your video will make my experience better! Thanks!
Another excellent instructional video! Thank you for all you and your team do James! No matter how much I think I know, you always seem to be able to teach me a few more things...
Thanks again!
Super helpful, thank you! This stuff is starting to make more and more sense now. I have hesitated getting into power tools because it seemed very confusing to me. I appreciate that you reference the functions of hand tools!
I deeply appreciate your teaching! Excellent information that helps me grow as a carpenter!
Excellent video. I learned something myself about the grain direction and tearout. I'll be on the lookout for this with I'm jointing from now on. Thanks dude!
The best video on jointers I have seen. Thank you Mr. Hamilton!
Thank you for doing a video where you actually tell people where to put their hands in different cutting situations. When I first got my jointer a few years ago, I struggled so hard to find a video that helped with that and sometimes I still need a refresher. Hand placement is everything when jointing and it's often overlooked in these videos!
Thank you! Your videos have advanced my knowledge of workworking more then any other channel I've come across.
Your knowledge has helped me in my shop on numerous occasions. My oldest son said he enjoys the way you explain how things are done. I agree with him.
In German, we call it a "Abrichthobelmaschine" which literal translated "abrichten" means "to dress" or "trueing" and "hobel" is the word we use for the hand planer. The last part "maschine" you can probably guess, machine.
Similar we call a thickness planer "Dickenhobelmaschine"... "dicke" = thickness and again "hobel" and "maschine".
So in German, all those machines are "planers" which create a flat surface, in case of a jointer on one side and then at a angle to the first side a second. In case of a thickness planer it creates a flat surface opposite to one side.
I feel so empowered after watching this. For the time of the video the knowledge is ten fold. Thanks.
Norm Abrams used a 6” jointer for years. He did upgrade to a 8” at some point but he built a lot of projects with a 6” Delta jointer! I have had both the 6” and 8” Delta.
My preference is the 6” because it matches the re-saw capacity of my bandsaw and takes up less floor space. The 8” did have a nice long bed but since I don’t often joint 8’-0’ stock the shorter bed on the 6” jointer has never disappointed . The money gained from selling the 8” jointer bought an excellent used 6” Delta jointer and 14” Delta bandsaw with enclosed stand and fence.
A friend of mine bought the helical cutting head - nice but three straight knives works fine for anything material you are going to buy at a big box store.
I am new to wood working and have watched a lot of videos. You’re my favourite! Your explanations are great. Thanks for taking the time.
I occasionally use a magnetic feather board on the outfeed side when edge jointing wide boards. Just gives a little extra assurance the board is tight against the fence.
This is a brilliant video! Perfect for newbies like myself!! Thanks a million.
Really well-done, comprehensive video on the jointer. Excellent content. Thank you.
Really, really, great video. I'm glad that you take the time to share your knowledge, research, and experience via these videos. Please keep them coming! Take care and have a good one, Adios! 🖐
Excellent video. Thank you.
Clear and well presented, easy to understand.
You are awesome! I love how you give subtle advice to those not only for safety and to become a better woodworker, much more than this. You offer help to people that will help them become better at the woodworking trade, better at business and cost savings, but ultimately being able to safely work for years into the future. I love your videos and I'm trying to watch 'em all. Thanks again, this type of help is very hard to find nowadays.
Professor S. Nubs is the best!
this video is amazing!! detailed useful information, concisely presented. i really appreciated the explanation of why you can't use the jointer for the other side. people could learn as much from you about how to present information as they could about wood! this newest version of your website/channel is great
Great video as always! As someone just starting out with more time than money/space, I'll have to make due with the eventual planer + sled and tapering jig on the table saw. Will definitely coming back to this video when I do eventually get a jointer for reference. Keep doing what you do!
FANTASTIC video, James! This is just what I needed. I’m having issues with my 6” Delta jointer (like your old one) but this video has the answers. So much great content here. THANK YOU! 👍🏼
Thanks for the tips! I'm new to woodworking and I find your videos super helpful and informative. Thanks again!
Well done video on the jointer. I have been doing furniture design and building for more than 40 years and I still learn or remember better after seeing your very well-done videos like this one on jointers. Keep up the good job, please.
Thank you for all your advice. I’ve been a woodworking hobbyist for long time but it’s amazing what I’ve learned from you. For example, I needed a double taper on a trapezoidal table leg but my taper jig was too limited. Your design worked perfectly. Thank you.
That was absolutely the best video I have watched about a jointer. I have been considering purchasing one and this helps a lot
Thanks
Your videos are amazing, info packed. Just bought a jointer and this is stepping up my game!
Superb video. Best explanation I’ve seen of how to use a joiner and the order is which you should work. I love the simple but very clear graphics.
I bought that same grizzly jointer with a spiral cutter about a year ago, been very happy with it since. I've never regretted spending money on a good tool.
I'm starting off with woodworking, building up my workshop. Your video was super informative and I've learnt more by watching this than watching a ton of other videos on the topic! Thanks and keep it up
I have watched several of your videos and you are an incredible instructor and I appreciate you. Thank you for explaining everything in detail. It also helps you have a voice for it too. Thanks again.
Definitely agree on the paddles! When you hook a finger over the trailing edge of the board, there's nothing left for the doctor to stitch closed..... Yup, did that.
God was looking out for me. I did that and only lost a little skin and the tip of my nail. No blood. I did need to change my underwear though.
My father was using paddles and still got his fingers nibbled! Left em dangling instead of GRIPPING the paddles.... SMH...
just found this channel, but man, this guy gives me so much information. These videos are so helpful for us newbies.
Great information. I bought a rusty old 6” Central Machinery jointer that had been left out under a shed structure. The price was right so I bought it. I cleaned off the rust and replaced the worn out blades with new blades from My Wood Cutters. The quality and thickness of the steel was so much better than what was in the router originally. I’m very happy with my purchase.
Thank you so much for such an in depth video that’s easy to understand for a beginner!
I am impressed with your knowledge for such a young man. Good job!
Contemplating buying a jointer, never used one before. Thank you for making this highly informative instructional video.
Great video
I love my Delta DJ20 jointer and plan on changing the cutter head to a Lux helical cutter head.
Well there you have it.
Always a nice thing to get a memory reboot.
Certainly when you find out you’ve been unintentionally neglecting some bits and bobs.
It’s important to keep safety high.
Thank you for the reminder. Good video as always.
Thank you for those explanations. You have a knack to make intricate technical details relate. 👍
I've watched this video two days after setting up the first jointer I've owned since getting rid of my old one over 30 years ago. I had the space in my new shop, so there I went. Thanks so much for how this is so timely for me!
Great video, I just bought a jointer and this was very helpful! Thank you!
Hello James. I really enjoy watching your videos. I was a total newb at wood and tools just a handful of months ago. You are very clear and explain, and show so much detail I feel way more competent than hands have experienced. Funny thing is I'll likely be jumping to cnc for machine quality since I already understand modeling and programing.
In germany we call it Richthobel and Dickenhobel.
Hobel for planing, Richt for right angle, Dicke for thickness :P
Glad you mentioned where to keep the pressure after the piece passes the blade! 👍 great info!
This was very clear and helpful to a novice such as myself. Although I don’t have a jointer, a friend just bought a 16 inch and is offering to sell me his Delta 8 inch so I have to think hard about this.
Great video. Here in NZ, we don’t call them “jointers”. You are more likely to hear people them call a “Buzzer” or “planer”, since it planes a surface. What you would call a planer in the US we would call a thicknesser in NZ, since it gets the board a certain thickness. Calling them a jointer here and people will ask what the hell are you talking about? :-) keep your videos coming, you’re doing a great job explaining things and I always learn something.
Thanks Nubs. Your emphasis on safety is spot on. Getting into woodworking may be intimidating for a lot of people out there. Especially if the person is concerned about safety and not sure how to be safe when woodworking. Your are educating them and opening up a whole new world for for a lot of people. Keep up the good work.
Excellent tips. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks so much. I just bought an 8 inch jointer and now see I had no idea how to use it. Your video helped loads. Keep up the excellent work. By the way I bought your plans for shop clamp storage and made two of them. They are fantastic.
You are an excellent teacher! Thank you for sharing!
