I have tremendous respect for the craftsmen in this world. We need more of them. Thank you for this video.

THANK YOU for this explanation! I could not figure out what anybody meant by "a planer creates a uniform thickness, but does not make the board straight". Your demonstration made it much clearer!

The graphics and visuals aids are what made it easy to understand and made me subscribe. Keep up the extra effort.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I never fully understood the difference between the two until now.

[Janzep]

Thanks for leaving out the anecdotal info that bogs down other vids. Don’t need to know the weather, location, or if you have a dog. Great work.

I bought a Wen planer as I thought that it would be my best initial option with getting the jointer next. And thanks for the great explanation in the differences. "Unfortunately" now, I need to get a jointer! 😂😂😂

Super super smart to say that it's like cooking and the boards are part of your recipe because you can buy convenience ingredients readily chopped onions, pre diced peppers, and more... Sometimes you buy ingredients that were prepared a very specific way that your kitchen can't handle. But sometimes you have a mixer, blender, sous-vide machine.

You’ve got another subscriber here! I’ve been in carpentry most of my life (Framing and roughshod). I’m now branching into woodworking rather than building and if anything else on your channel is as clear and concise as this I’m going to love EVERYTHING you put out.

[Buddy-pohv]

The graphics are the best, I now understand how it works
Thank you for your efforts

Would it be possible you explain hand planer and electric hand planer the way way? :)
