In this video we cover several tips and techniques to help you get the flattest panels possible. These include selecting lumber, milling, clamping strategies, grain orientation, and more! The ability to make a flat panel is one of the most important things in woodworking. They are the foundation for literally almost every project. So the more of these techniques you can work into your process, the better off you’ll be, and the nicer your projects will be.

THANK you for the in/out jointer tip. I recently butchered a panel glue up because my jointer was slightly off.
dowels dominoes and biscuits…. needs background music from Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves song…
Just randomly scrolling through the Roku channels and stumbled onto one of your old videos. FYI Roku channel 458 the Makers Channel
wow one of my best videso to watch for today….. thanks for sharing,.,,.,
Great video – high quality content! " Loving the 3d animations to help explain these concepts ".
Thank you so much!
Great Job guys!
Thanks guys, these look super helpful.
If you had woodworking courses with more intensive 3d animations like these I would definitely be one of the first to enrol.
Great information
With all those dominos/dowels/biscuits it can be hard to work with the panel without cutting into and exposing one of them.
My last build ended up 2" smaller because I placed a domino in the wrong spot. ☹️
Is that blue ball the conche’s cousin from lord of the flies ?
More high quality content- keep up intermediate level please. Thanks for all the input/ time you invest.
Great video as always! You two are truly a great team, your approach and logic is exceptional. Thank you
I think mean "floating tenons" 😁
Dude you have to stop cutting backwards with that circular saw. Trying to hold that drop will pinch the blade and make the saw kick back and possibly take out your gut. I have seen it happen
You guys cause me a lot of frustration!! Your videos have so much really good information, I have to watch them several times. "THANKS, GUYS" Keep up the good work.
nice tips!
as a woodworker myself, this video is like listing a very good check-up list!
and also, almost, like a curse. if um don’t check one of the items… something will twist.
thank you for the hard work! big fan.
Are Dowmiscuitos carnivore or herbivore?
I take o-fence to your suggesting that my jointer might be off. Shaun will like that joke.
Great content and good job of explaining, only problem is that not everyone has all the equipment that you have available but we still have the same problems.
Excellent- thanks guys.
Outstanding way to present to teach an old guy some new tricks. LOL Thanks
Very well done explanation.
Dowmiscuitos 🤣
in future videos, please, show your faces much closer….)
Do do
Nice
thank you
Hold up! What’s on the engine stand and do we get a video for that??
Il va falloir que je mettent plus sérieusement à parler anglais
"You’re not out of the woods yet" – that was funny
Ohhh ! Got it domiscuitos !!
is there a standard depth for the in/out method to take off? i dont see anyone doing anything like putting pencil on the edge to make sure all of the edge has the new angle. I know the edge, at this point, should be pretty straight but the idea is to potentially put an angle on it that it doesnt already have. so is that a consideration that you need?
thanks, will help me a lot

Where did you guys get the blue metal tables in your shop?
2:42 always been confused by the Jointer/planer/tablesaw method. Why not just joint the face, plane the opposite face, then joint both edges? Why do you finish on the tablesaw and not just joint the final edge??
10:20 u said doodoo haha
Thanks for all the tips for getting all my banana boards to look nice, before I can get the Rocklefestlakita Dowmiscuito jointer into the shop!
A query — what do you use on cauls to prevent them from attaching to the excess glue from glue-ups? I’ve basically taken some saran wrap and used spray glue to attach it to the 2x4s, semi-permanently (it may come free over time as the adhesive ages, but it does a decent job of making it stick to the wood)…
But I’m open to other ideas.
I joined some time ago to follow what modern "wood machinists" do today in the craft. There is no doubt you are creative Artisans as many in the modern age have become and I think that is fine…
However, so much of this content is made from the perspective of "modernism" without any (it seems???) understanding of traditional woodworking it leads to failures in really understanding the craft and as an educator and craftsperson myself I have a concern with that…
Most notably your "grain orientation" seems to treat wood as if it is plastic and not once a living thing. You suggest (as many do!) flipping it this way or that to suit your needs but not really understanding the craft from as it "once was," to now treating the wood as if it is just another piece of plastic to extrude and shape as one sees fit…
This is some critical observation on my part (I know and apologize in advance for it) however what would either of you do if you actually had to work your wood from the forest to finished products and do it without drying it…AS IT ONCE WAS DONE…???
This is the traditional craft of actually being a "woodworker" or of the trades (e.g. Bodger, Cooper, Timberwright, etc) that dealt with wood in its pure and honest form…These are becoming lost skills because of the promotion of "modern wood machining" rather than the craft of…ACTUAL…woodworking that given us the heirloom examples of in our homes and museums today that we call "antiques". Modern woodworking methods of plastic finishes and treatments to all forms (as outlined in this video) of wood machining will simply not give future generations…nor is it really woodworking anymore yet rather (it seems) only wood machining…with little real understanding of wood, its historic traditions, but rather what shape a modern machine can force a piece of wood into…
Food for thought…
Every time I watch or rewatch any of your videos, I end up picking up something new. Thanks for putting out such quality content!
your video quality is off the charts, not to mention creating new words, mind blown!
Another version of the in/out or up/down method: if using a hand plane, gang up every adjoining edge of each joint and plane them flat together. For example if you had three boards A, B, and C with edges |1 2||3 4||5 6|, you’d take boards A and B and put them together with edges 2 and 3 facing up in the vise and plane them flat, then flip board B end over end, place board C beside it, and plane edges 4 and 5 together the same way. No matter how out of square your planing ends up, as long as those combined surfaces are coplanar, those edges will be complimentary and the panel will be perfectly flat.
Great video, as usual. It’s relieving to know that even you guys (because your furniture looks flawless) have problems with imperfect boards after you’ve taken every measure.
….buen vídeo……👌👌👌
Your videos are terrific because of 1) excellent production values–filming/editing, clarity of writing, animated grafix, B) very nice design sense on your furniture (and I’m generally not a fan of "mid-century", but you guys show its best qualities), and three) your engaging, dead-pan, very clear narration. I’ve been enjoying your stuff for a while now, and send my thanks to you and your team!
And still there’s a last thing you can do if you have some boards that aren’t fully flat (coplanar) with each other: take out the orbital sander or belt sander, slap some 60-grit sandpaper and sand the hell out of it. It will be flat in no time (remember to sand with higher grit sandpaper after that). 😁
Dowmiscuitos 😂😂😂😂
