Prepare Wood Surfaces for Finishing

yeah my butt that's tomorrow Alex's problem right now we need to glue up these posts I've learned my lesson before there's no reason for me to glue these up rough as they are rough you say yeah well even though they're regular old studs they're still going to be all these little cracks in there even when you start clamping them together so what I'm going to do is throw them on my jointer that I don't use at all that often so that they will be the most perfect post to ever be made what in the world is going on over here you know you get yourself a nice dust collector and then this happens too I never clean up [Music] let's be listening to your kids always clean up your toys after you're done with them [Music] welcome to another episode of cake or not cake definitely not cake I seem to be out of small clamps well time to get the big ones out all this means is we're gonna have to stack them all together one Mega clamp Mega one [Music] my rag's dirty my hands are dirty my table is dirty dirt everything's clamped up let's let it dry see y'all in the morning morning Lumber is dry time to square him up all right next up we got the thickness planer it's like a three-step process let's say you have unstraightened unstraightened no not straight boards or just crooked boards bow boards whatever you have crooked you have to use the thickness planer to create two sides one flat surface and then one parallel surface not parallel perpendicular perpendicular perpendicular you have to bring it over to your thickness planer use your flat reference sides to create on the parallel side a flat surface lots of trigonometry or geometry I don't know I didn't do so well in school hence why I have a YouTube channel and then for the fourth side we use our table saw because now we have a flat surface here a flat surface here a flat surface to reference against are fence and then we have four straight Services one two three four square [Music]
