Simple things are often hidden in the age of mass information. I put this simple explanation and demonstration together to show you how our fears and doubts are all too often unfounded.
With a little understanding of what's really happening beneath the plane sole, we can restore methods of working into our daily lives working wood and the result will be new levels of confidence.

Thank you, Paul! Believe it or not, just last night I was thinking, "If I could get Paul's ear for just one question, I'd ask him about jointing two boards." And I wake up to find this video. Sometimes wishes come true!

I'm the boss of the wood workshop at an Association in France, having come from nowhere (woodworking-wise) in four years flat. At any one time, I am only one Paul Sellers video ahead of my team. Fortunately, that is more than enough - they think I'm a genius.

That tiny detail of balancing on a pencil. Mind blown. So simple, so sensible. Thank you Paul! Every time I joint boards I give up. Everything I do with the plane seems to exaggerate the hollow/belly, not get rid of it. Looking forward to a good joint next time!

Something so simple to make planing easier. Thank you, Paul. And for showing the exaggerated angle. I have been fighting for the perfect 90 angle. May have less frustration.

@trackie1957 3 жыл бұрын

As always, a great, clear description. I think the value of planing the two boards together is mostly to cancel the effect of out of squareness it actually doubles the effect of out of straightness (gaps and bellies). The plane makes it fairly easy to make them straight, but getting them perfectly square is another thing.

It’s always a pleasure to follow your woodworking Paul. Your videos are invaluable for me, as a weekend hobbyist who missed out on woodwork classes at school. Thank you for devoting your time to help others. Some folks suggest leaving a slight hollow along the length of the board to counteract a tendency for the ends of the boards to separate after being glued. Do you do this under any circumstances?

Now that was amazing Paul, never thought of that when the two board are not square on the edge that they would match when flat on the long face, haha. Well done as usual, full of tips and knowledge , fantastic teacher. By the way I bought your book and dvds, watched the DVD’s twice but scared to read the book just in case I damage it, what a lovely book, just wished you signed it , take care 👏👏👍

@jcwoodworx-corneeldutoit3419 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Paul! Wow, so simple. And here I am doing each face separately with a straight edge and a square! Do you maybe have a suggestion for thicker boards (say 40 mm thick), that when combined, is wider than even a Nr 8 plane blade?

Does he do that hollow in the middle of the boards at first intentionally or for demonstration purposes, to show the gap later on? I just can't get good results from this method, been trying for days. My boards are a lot longer and thicker though for a start.
