Yup, I did! I switched boards! I filmed the explanation several times with the board i put through the planer, but every time I looked over the video i shot---it was hard to see how warped that old board was( the one with the blue stripes) on screen. In video, it was hard to appreciate how much the sled supported the board. I don't know why but that happens sometimes when filming projects. Stuff in real life doesn't look good or translate well to video. I finally gave up and used another board that was lighter in color, badly warped, and could easily be seen "stabilized" on the sled. That board, however, is rare hackberry that I milled out of a tree....and its also has a book match brother. Those two boards are going to be used later this year when they finish drying. I wasn't ready to cut into them yet. I was not willing to sacrifice that beautiful board for the sake of the video. I hope that answers your question. thank you for watching. Cheers!

My Garage Woodshop, Roger that thank you for the explanation.

Jackson Smith it wasn’t click bait at all. Even if he didn’t give an explanation which he did by the way it still wasn’t click bait. The video was to demonstrate the jig and he did that. Switching boards made no difference at all. Don’t be so quick to jump to conclusions mate. It’s all good. Cheers mate and happy trails

Yes i want to see the demostration board get pass throught the planer...

Eres el chingon camara felicidades

+Woodsmith Awesomeness! Love your magazine. I have built tons of your jigs! Thanks for watching! Happy woodworking!

"That is majorly impressive, Rod!!! Mind blown!!! I know you said you got the idea from the magazine but the magazine didn't build it, YOU did!! Awesome craftsmanship brother, my neck is gonna get sore looking up to you." you kidding! im the one that looks up to you! you got that mechanical/engineering way of looking at the craft, brother. you have no idea how much i envy that. thanks for taking the time to watch and enjoy the video, brother!

"This is so bad ass! I totally need to make this! Looking forward to the build video!" Hey David! thanks for checking out the project, its gonna end up turning into a major time saver for me. Glad you liked it! Working on it as we speak!

one of the best ideas I've seen in a long time.Everyone has a 12" plus planer but few have a 12" jointer. Thank you so much, Trigger, i thought so too when i first laid eyes on it thru ShopNotes. It definitely helps us guys who don't have much space or income for a massive jointer. I hope this helps you in your shop too. Thanks for watching and reaching out, brother. would love to hear from you again. And can i just say.......That one hell of name, Trigger Finger, just awesome!

+jcvord I hear ya! So glad you found it helpful, JC! Thank you so much for your feedback and for reaching out! Hope it helps you in your work! Thanks for watching, man. Cheers!

"Found your channel by searching for planer sled. I love this project! One of the best planer sleds on YT" Awesome Vin! i hope this helps you... please let me know if you end up building it. thanks again for watching and commenting, man!

"Now I want to make one. Even though I have a jointer, it could be useful for wider stock. I'm liking your image overlays too!" Right on! in my mind eye i see you doing some chainsaw milling of a log then after your slabs are dry- i see you throwing a slab onto a planner sled to flatten it! all the while you are wearing that trapper hat with the ear flaps and a big gold chain with a " W " on it, and driving that golf cart that for some reason has hydraulics on it, slow motion shots, mean mofu mug close-ups...... wow. i really went there for a good second. sorry. im back. i guess you can tell how much i like your videos now. lol. thanks, man!

+Kevin Waycaster Thank you so much for watching and reaching out, Kevin! I hope it helps you in your work! Cheers!

+Mike M Thank you so much, Mike, for your feedback, means a lot to me, thank you! Thanks for reaching out.

"Even if you have a jointer, this would be a great solution for boards wider than your jointer will accommodate. I'm looking forward to the build video. Thanks!" Thats excellent thinking, KSFWG! You are absolutely right about that, hadn't thought of it. Awesome, glad you liked it, thanks for watching!

+GuysWoodshop I think I know which one you are talking about, Guy. It was one that used little wooden triangles and a bungie cord or something. Yeah, you're right, it did seem quite cumbersome. Thanks so much for watching Guy, appreciate it!

+woodstoney thanks you wood, so glad you liked it. I hope it helps you in the shop. Cheers!

+Wood By Wright Thanks so much, James, for watching! I really appreciate it especially because I know this isn't your cup of tea. I actually love hand planning but when I built the drawers for the cabinet, 6 total. It was something like 42 pieces to flatten by hand and I had so little time too. I was wishing for a jointer then but this will do.

Thank you so much, Allen, for that wonderful feedback. so glad you found your way to the channel. Welcome aboard! There's beer in the fridge! thanks so much for taking the time to watch the content, brother, really means a lot! cheers!

+Ellinon Enosis Thank you!

+Michael Lawing You're getting a planer?!?! Dude, so cool! Being able to dimension your boards changes how and what you make. After you get it your head starts swimming with a ton of new ideas! Thanks Michael for watching!

Thank you, i appreciate you saying so! thanks for watching!

+ragincanadiangmail Awesome! So glad you found it. I sincerely hope it help you in your work. The build video should lead you straight. Let me know if you have any questions about it. Best of luck!

"Great video Rod you explained everything very clearly and the edit was great!" Thank you, Dan! i appreciate you saying so! Thanks for always tuning in and commenting, brother!

+Charlie Hubbard Wow, Charlie, I opened up my mail and found the holy grail of encouraging feedback on my video, yours! Thank you so much for saying so, friend. That's the best comment a content creator can get. So glad you found something of mine that can help you in your shop, so cool. Thanks again for stoking the fire! Drop me a line again soon! Best of luck, Cheers!

+grobkuschelig You betcha, man! Hope it helps! Thank for watching!

i know what you mean, Frank, whenever i see jigs like this i always scrutinize whether or not they are effective as well. Most often than not i end up passing up on stuff like this because im a pessimist at heart. LOL. I don't have much time under my belt with this jig, but so far it has flattened both boards i have put through it. Once i get a couple of months with it, i will probably end up making an "update" video to share my experience with the sled. thank you s o much Frank, for watching and commenting!

Thanks brother! That’s wonderful feedback, man, thank you! And thanks for watching.

"Great video, Rod! Really well shot and explained. Looks like that sled would come in real handy too. Can't wait to see how you built it!" Hey thanks Braxton, so awesome for you to say! i love this jig, its gonna be a staple in the shop! Build video out soon....thanks for watching!

You ar very welcome! Andthank you, Stavros, for watching!

Thank you, Tech, i appreciate you saying so. thanks for watching.

+MIke Garrett Thank you, Mike, for the great feedback. Thanks for watching!

+The Fe Factor so glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for watching!

"Rod your video quality is amazing, your builds are amazing, you are amazing. I have a jointer but it's not a 13 inch jointer so I think this might be in my future." hahahahahaha. Your comment made my wife laugh! Thank you Matt, i just love you, brother. thanks for always watching and commenting and enjoying my projects along with me. i really appreciate your support. it makes me glad that i made something that might help you in your shop in the future.

Thank You Josh! thanks for taking the time to watch and enjoy the project!

"Wow, that's awesome! A thickness planer is on my list but a jointer is waaaay to expensive. This solves that problem" Ah, man, Robin, good to hear that you're getting a planer. Once i had a planer and some handplanes....it totally changed my woodworking. it opened up so many opportunities in my craft. just watch...as soon as you get one your head is gonna be swimming with a whole bunch of new ideas! thanks for taking the time to watch and enjoy the project, Robin.

LOL!

Thanks Abel! i figured its a pretty cool addition to the shop if i don't have a jointer at the moment and i wanna save time flattening boards for big projects!

+Vocho's Granja HahahAhaha! Sorry I helped increased your appetite for a planer. If you got one, though,.... you would love it! Thanks for watching, Vocho!

Thank you Calritos! glad you liked it, brother! thanks for watching!

+Louis Eubank So very cool, Louis! Glad I could help! Best of luck on the build, brother. Drop me a line if you have any questions. Thanks for watching, my man!

+Stuff I Made Thanks, yeah I think I know which one you are talking about....I think it worked with these little triangles and a bungie cord. I almost built that one years ago but it looked like a hassle to work.

Thank you Rag, high praise, coming from you! glad you enjoyed it!

+Carlos Rogel Hi Carlos! Thank you! Not sure if I do, but I think I say it in all them. Glad you liked it, my man! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
