A few tips to help flatten a board and make it square/Jointing and planing wood to make it flat

What happens when your wood bends as you cut it and how do you fix it. In this video I use my jointer and planer to remove the bend out a board that occurred when I was re-sawing lumber. I share a few tips that help me make wood for a project flat and square

After fighting severe cupping in some of my boards, I finally found this video and just by simply rotating the boards and just using extremely light pressure, the cupping is gone

This is the best video I've seen on this. Thank you!!!

Duh I have been using a jointer ( incorrectly) for more years than you have been alive! Thanks for teaching this old dog how to correctly push the curved board and not push the board down on the jointer.

Thanks for this, this is exactly the video I needed. I had the exact same problem with bowing after I resawed some maple.

Thank you for the nice demo. How do you proceed if you dont have a jointer but a planer instead. ??? Thank you

I really enjoyed that - I know someone who would benefit from the guidance regarding just pushing down as hard as you can!

Great video, really enjoyed watching. Learned a lot. How do you like the hammer jointer/planer A3-31 or a3-41? I don’t mind using the European guard looks like you are not a big fan… ?. Stay safe.
