I really enjoyed watching this. Though I'm not likely to work with wood myself, I find the process fascinating! Thank you for demonstrating how it works so clearly and deftly, without a bunch of hype - simply watching you at your craft was so relaxing, and reminded me of watching my dad and grandpa fix things when I was little... I look forward to seeing more videos!

I really enjoy your county. I know county from Washington but I don't know county like ya'll. And I mean that in the most admiration and respect. I will forever be a watcher, consumer, subscriber and follower of this channel! Thank you for the knowledge.

Best video I’ve seen yet on how to fix a warped board

Thanks for the great video. I have a twisted 4" x 8" section which I will be using as a pilaster to break up siding and board and batten cladding on my house build. This technique will fix this issue. Also, I will be laminating sections for railing rails and posts, so this will come in really handy. Cheers from Canada.

Thanks for getting straight to the point. I hate videos that take 10 minutes to tell me about their life stories.

This is great. I'm actually about to flatten some boards with a planer sled but coudn't figure out how to secure it. I was just sitting there looking at my bench, there was a hot glue gun right there but i didnt even think about using it. Glad i searched this up. Great channel by the way!!!

I just got a planer so I am excited to take any board and make it flat. Thank you for the great tip!

That was someone with a lot of life experience and woodworking knowledge that gifted that technique to all of us . Thanks .

Thank you, short and straight to the point !

Wow, amazing what you can do when you plane from 4/4 to 2/4!

As a novice woodworker myself, i honestly was waiting for miracle.

[DrewJacobson]

A very well executed video! Professional camera work for sure!

[terencefranks]

a truly great idea, if one has a thicknesser/planer !

[eladsinay]

My only issue is you lose sooo much thickness. Wouldn’t it be better to cut down the middle, plane individually and then re-glue it ? That way you lose very little in thickness ? I saw that done somewhere

[bobweiram]

Wow! You reduced that board down to a toothpick! It's better to mill your stock as close to the finished size, leaving some excess for snipe, trimming, etc. That said, a better method is to split the wood down the center, mill the two pieces flat to the same thickness, joint the cut edges flat and then glue them back together. This leaves a lot more material with minimal loss.

ha ha with hot glue.... and a great big machine! lol I did enjoy the video. I was looking for a way to fix a warped table myself and I don't have a workshop :) Loved the accent too. I'm an Aussie :)

Nice technique -- that's one way! I've used a hot glue gun and shims on a board through a thickness planer to save what can be saved for future use. Thanks for providing this video. Ignore the haters -- they were abused children. 😅 My .02

My question is how thick was the piece of wood you used before it was flattened and how thick was it when it was completed. I would imagine that if you're going to be working with 3/4 inch wood, you would need a 1inch piece to start. If you start with a 3/4 inch piece then you might have to bring it down to 1/2 inch which is not good.

How the heck is his drawing hand so steady?!?!
