Great video Leah!! You are a great teacher! Meegwitch! mean thank you in our language ! like Me Gwitch
Excellent video!! Thanks
I really like the way she explained it. Great job!
I literally have no questions after watching this. You are an EXCELLENT instructor. Subscribed!
Really great video, Leah! Keep it up. You are so helpful.
That was the BEST video I’ve seen on explaining the jointer. Thank you! I’ve subscribed.
Also, what you just said is every piece of wood starts in the jointer and it only needs to be passed through one edge and one face, than to table saw to square up and than to planer to fix the other face?
Another great video! 👍
So wait….you did one face and one edge ..why couldn’t you just flip them over and do the other face and the other edge? But instead ran it through table saw for the other edge????
Hey Leah. Great video, as always. You mention working "with the grain" of the wood. Perhaps a short video on how to read the wood grain would be very helpful for someone just getting into woodworking. Just a thought for a video, as having the ability to properly read the grain is very important in using most woodworking tools regardless if it is a hand tool or power tool. Whatcha think?
thank you Leah i have two jointers one is the same you used and one a big iron delta. I learned some new tips today!
What a great vid and demonstration. You are gifted at explaining in a a way that is easy to understand
You mention that this can be done without a table saw and planer? What are other methods? Also, can you add videos showing handheld planer? Still building my power tools and would love to gain experience with the smaller less expensive tools. Thanks!
I just bought this also with a Dewalt Dw35 planer. One question I have is what is the blade stop for? And also when you adjust your depth of cut, the table on the in-feed will be that much lower than the table on the outfeed, right?
I was curious, why not finish the other 2 sides with the jointer?
Can you use a jointer on all sides if you only have that and no table saw or thicknesser ?
Is there any risk to running your edges through a jointer a second time? I ask this because I ran my pieces through the jointer two or three times already (i.e. face jointed then edge jointed). Afterwards I ran them through my thickness planer and ended up with ripping the last edge at my table saw. When I laid out the boards for a dry fit (i.e. I’m laminating them to make a table top) I noticed that a few of the boards had what appears to be a "not" flat surface. There were noticable gaps between a couple of the boards when I did a dry fit. I’m thinking of edge jointing a few of them a couple more times to flatten out the edges. I have a little wiggle room as it relates to width of the boards. Am I on the right track? Thanks for your consideration and ??reply. I am somewhat of a newbie, but perhaps not a total "novice". I wish I could include a picture of what I’m building but I don’t think that’s possible.
Thank you so very much Leah. I don’t have a jointer yet but I do have a thickness planer which I just got. The planer will be the next thing. I do appreciate all the tips because since I don’t have one it’s good to see how and what they do and how to set them. As always I’m thankful for all you have taught me.
Excellent explanation. Thank you.

Two thumbs up

Always a pleasure to watch your videos !!!
Leah, you rock.
Excellent explanation as usual. Thanks
It’s nice to listen to a video where the teacher actually has a broadcast quality voice to disseminate the instruction. Hope you do more video work! Simple but thorough. Blessings Leah!
I just bought a jointer yesterday, and I’m struggling with the edge jointing. I couldn’t get the edge completely flat, and after a while I realized I had cut off an inch or so from the front end, but hadn’t touched the far end. Is there a trick to starting out so the board is roughly parallel and I don’t end up with a giant triangle?
Why do you have to go to the table saw? Why not do the other edge on the jointer?
Leah, thank you so much for all you do! As a female woodworker, I just love how you demonstrate that has women can be experts in the field. In addition, your videos are so informative and the information is presented clearly. You have a brilliant talent for teaching.
Thanks for the great info!!!
Thank you for another great video. I also enjoy how thorough you are in them. I’m a subscriber since I saw your first video, again, thank you.
With the jointer and the planer you also want to avoid running previously sanded wood through them. It really dulls the knives. And a metal detector is worth the cost to check all self harvested wood.
Great info on the jointer. The hammer in the background on the wall looks like a hammer my father-in-law Bob Hart use to manufacture at Hart Tool.
my brain cant wrap around why ya cant use it for all 4 sides
Hi Leah,
As always, I learned so much. You’re such a wonderful teacher. So appreciate you and all of your valuable lessons.

What about pressure direction and points? Like on the outfeed? And when do we know that the stock is already straighten?
Thanks for the demonstration. I just got me a jointer and I leveled the blades any everything. Wondering though, my first try my board came out shaping like a bow. I think maybe I’m moving pressure wrong wen pushing it through. I guess you start with a bit of pressure on the infeed then move to the outfeed?
Ms. Leah, I am falling behind on your videos, I’m aghast! Once more great explanation! In the future you will be giving directions on reading grain direction, rift sawn, quarter sawn, cathedral etc…Unless you’ve already accomplished that.
Hi Leah. I have question. Yesterday I bought my self the same jointer you are using. Is that normal when you feed the wood you feel will fly off the from your hands and you have to fight it. I was using hard wood. African Padauk. Thank you
Always great teaching.
Thank you
I have a question… is there a reason you can’t flip the wood over and use the jointer on the other side and to do the other edge?
Hi Leah. If I don’t have a planer, is it bad to run the piece over the jointer on both sides?
Check out her other videos. She is an excellent presenter. Her instructions are clear and easy to follow. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Leah
Fantastic informative clear instructional videos broken down and clearly explaining every step! Thank you so much.
Leah when running the edge through the table saw do you set the cut to be the same as the jointer? or it doesnt matter
Thank you seejanedrill, am a retire vet and I just love wood working but am a newbee, I have no experience and your videos is like taking a class with a professionnal, keep those video coming I have lots time and projets coming
This was so helpful to me. I’ve been wanting a jointer and you’ve convinced me why the investment is a good one. Subscribed. Keep up the awesome video content, Leah.
leah I hope you see this. I’m so thankful for this video and all your videos. You explain things so simply and it helps so much. Most of us our beginners and these help big time. I always type in woodworking for beginners and I swear the stuff they say / teach isn’t for beginners so I feel like I never get anywhere!, Your videos are perfect!* Thanks!
Leah, you have a Beautiful smile. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge. Peace be onto you and good health.
I subscribe for the content but I I do enjoy listening to your voice and cadence. I would watch your video if you did nothing but explain how to organize my sock drawer or how paint dries. You have a kind and gentle spirit. Love your kitchen btw.
I’m a beginner and I love the way yoh explain things… Thank you
