Fast Start: Squaring Boards

Special Interest Groups Fundamentals
#1

Fundamentals, they’re so important. Doug, our fundamentals guru, took on another important concept: how to square your wood before you begin a project. His techniques were two: first with a hand plane and square and second with jointer and planer and table saw. The former was a labor of love but the second is a model of efficiency. Start right and your project will go better!

Sounds like a topic we ought to cover (again) in a meeting.

Seems that, along with Finishing, it’s a topic that never grows old.
