Your videos are the most helpful that I've ever seen for a self taught builder. I still consider myself a newbie after 10 years. Thank you for taking the time to explain things

Best jointer tutorial I've ever seen! Should be required watching for newbies, and maybe some more experienced woodworkers as well! Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to explain and give visual examples. I'm sure I will have better results tomorrow because of it!

That Jointer Training Device reminds me of the various training models the Army used, back in WW2 and up into the 1960's. What a flashback! Love it!

These types of videos are invaluable to a newbie like me. Thanks so much for all your work!

Your expelation of how and why to apply pressure to the workpiece is the best that I have seen, very clear thanks!

Thank you. Everything I thought I knew about jointers was wrong. I just bought a 60 or 70 year old “(Rockwell) delta 6” jointer” from an auction for $40 and took it completely apart to get everything moving again. I’ve been trying to learn more about it last few days and Your explanation of how to set up and use was clear and easy to understand. Between you and YouTuber woodworking for mere mortals have become my go to wood guru’s

Well done, really appreciate the level of detail and not too wordy, straight to the point. Keep making videos, you're helping a lot of people!

[marinefa]

Thank you so much for this video, I have been using a jointer for about a day now and I have watched other videos prior, yours is the first one that broke it down like it was for a person who had never used a jointer before, not a refresher course. You have saved me thousands of hours of wasted time and wood. Thank you so much

[JCSchaefer]

[damian_fgc]

I have seen jointers, and several planers, that had metal surfaces that were not at all flat, or straight, or true. I bought a beautiful 6" Oliver jointer, brand new, helical cutter head, with 18 carbide inserts, and I needed to make new gibs for it. Couldn't cut a flat, straight piece no matter what I did. The manufacturer was stumped, too. After making the gibs it is a spectacular tool.

Newbie here. So glad I watched this. Thank you!

[srairmand]

The fact that you made a mock-up to demo for this is impressive.

[FMcanada]

I appreciate all the extra effort taken with the demonstrative apparatus and explaining it to a novice hobbyist like myself. Thank you.

Watched this video and the quality of my joints increased greatly. My blades were set correctly, but I just needed some fine tuning on technique. Thanks !!
