Thank you Bill for your most excellent video.

Man, I sure wish you were my shop teacher 30 years ago..I'm glad I found your channel. It's obvious you were a very good teacher by this video.

Every high school needs a wood shop! We have lost our way!

The 3 c's of instruction. Calm, cool, and collected

He talks like a shop teacher! Love it!

My favorite ww vid on YT, well done.

wow what a gentle, clear and practical tutorial. don't stop!

Hey Uncle Bill! What a great idea to share your wealth of woodworking knowledge. Lots of Wilson love!

Thank you, I love the detail in your explanations, and your patience.

Best explanation yet! I like the fact you pointed out WHY to do the parallel planes first so you can then CHOOSE the grain direction when truing-up the edge. Makes perfect sense for the cleanest cut minimizing tear-out! Thank you for taking the time to post this video. This video needs more views!!!

Best tutorial on squaring a board on the internet

Thanks a lot!!! I was looking for this kind of a lesson for very long time. Really appreciate it!

Great instruction sir!! I came over from a recommendation of your son on a FB woodworking group. Clicked the bell!!

Excellent presentation. Makes me sorry I didn't take shop in high school. Thanks!

Great video! Thank you, sir

such a great communicator, thank you for this

The best instruction I have ever seen. All based on experience.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge....

Thanks, patient and complete explanation

If only we all had a joiner and planer like that 😂. Really hard to build square stuff out of rough cut lumber with minimal tooling. It takes forever and still not perfect

This is one of the best woodworking tutorial videos I have watched and I watch a ton! Thanks for making it.

Great video. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the tip about the gloves.

I'm so grateful for this video. I wished I could have a personal friendship with such an experienced carpenter like you. You're explanations for this issue I've been experiencing could have saved me so much time I could have not wasted several weeks of fighting this very issue. I had no idea what was the problem I was having until now. I need a joiner. Thanks so much for your help. God Bless.

Muy bien explicado , muchas gracias , estar pendiente de sus publicaciones, saludos ¡

great example of the ribbon & scissors causing bowing :) thx that really made it super clear :)

Yep....Talks like my old woodshop teacher

Hi, just wanted to say I love your videos. I really get a lot out of them and learn new things every time I watch them do you do one on one private lessons by any chance lol you really get into a lot of detail and go step-by-step on every thing this is by far one of the if not the most detailed informative as well as entertaining videos that’s not boring but keeps my interest and still able to get a lot out of it. I really appreciate it. I love the analogy about the ribbon and the scissor that totally makes sense anyway thanks, looking forward to checking out a lot more of your content

Thanks a lot for the insight your awesome

Wow! Great Information

Thank you

It's still an insight however pretty much so late I am. Thank you so much though.

Hello, Mr Wilson! I just found your channel when this video dropped. I guess the KZfaq ghosts knew I needed to have another teacher! I do have a question about using a jointer, if you have a minute to answer. I have my Dad’s old (he bought it new somewhere between 1977 and 1980) Craftsman 4” jointer. My question is how much downward pressure should I apply as I run stock through? I seem to consistently end up with a thinner board at one end, by upwards of 1/16th of an inch. I always take the thinnest cut setting at 1/32”, I use parallels and a torpedo level to set my infeed table height to the top height of the blades, I use a depth gauge to set the outfeed table height, I keep all shavings cleared away and I keep my blades clean and sharp. I’ve deduced the issue has to be down to me. Well, I think it’s me, anyway 😂 I feel like I use a steady pressure along with a steady pace but I’m not getting the correct result. Could you share any insight as to the possibility of where I am using the machine incorrectly? Thank you in advance for your help and understanding!

Hello, new subscriber here. Loves the Lesson, but could you adjust the volume on your mic? It was very hard hearing you and I had to turn my speakers up all the way haha 😄

Hello, I am new in woodworking. I noticed it is a great idea sorting out both faces before planing edges because of the finding grain direction. Sometimes edges tear out. I have question: I am wondering why we have to do final step on the table saw? Can we make both edges parallel to each other on the jointer without using the table saw? The reason I ask this my table saw is not that powerful enough to have clean cut with oak therefore, I prefer jointer for both edges to make them 90 degree. Thank you!

why don't they sell square lumber? i'll even pay more! i don't have time to mill it, period. i have ratchet straps and glue, just wanna get them glued together to make my table.
