Edge Jointing by Hand Leaves Us With Lots to Consider.
Is the edge square to the face of the board??
Is the edge out of twist along its length??
Is the edge bowed or cupped??
And perhaps most importantly, if we’re prepping that edge as a glue joint to connect with another board - do the two edges match up perfectly?
With all that to think about it’s no wonder that edge jointing can leave us feeling a bit like we’re chasing our tail.
This quick video offers up a tip for tackling edge joints in a way that will feel like you’re cheating. Rather than having to think about that whole list above we just plonk our board flat on the bench and treat it much like a shooting board.
It means we’re using the bench top and the hand plane as our references, and letting them take over the hard work.
The video offers a few extra pointers to ensure glue ready joints and how to fettle when your references leave things out of square. (Learn more about iron cambers HERE: www.theenglishwoodworker.com/...)
This approach is perfect for small pieces, and can even work for fairly long lengths where the boards are relatively thin.
For thick, hefty boards it does reach its limit though. So when it comes to prepping the edges for gluing up something like a table top there’s no way around having to fine tuning your approach and understanding for edge jointing in the more conventional way.
To assist you with this we’ve added a full 46min video to our Member Area that you can watch right away for free.
It’s a step-by-step detailed work through of edge jointing the large boards from within our Trestle Table project. We go from rough edges to straight & twist free, & then fine tune the fit between the mating glue lines.

I know you make money off your long form videos and I respect that, but I really do get excited when one of these drops on KZread.

Agree !
I'm shocked that this is the first time I've seen this method. It's fabulous!

EXACTLY! It’s so intuitive. How is it I didn’t think of it on my own.
This is the absolutely BEST tutorials on you tube. The delivery is succinct, practical and no BS. I love it. I get hints and tips every time time I watch one. Thank you!
I am subscribing for that accent 😂👍🏻
Another excellent video. The archive you are building of all this technique and methodology is a goldmine now and for future generations.
A nice successor/follower to Paul Sellers. Bravo !
Even though I know all of this I'm still watching hypnotized. You are a natural-born teacher. So, I'm watching... watching... and bam! I learned something new still!
One of the best woodworking channels on KZread!!! Thanks Richard !!
Is there anything more beautiful than the sound of the plane taking a shaving?
Finished the last series a while ago and have been going through "the English Woodworker" withdrawal. This helps. Great tip that I will be sure to use all the time.
Richard am a 60 year old bench joiner and so happy to see you share your knowledge with others ps I love my e c e planes ,
So glad I saw the Rex K video that mentions this channel.
Good advice; nice style!
Thank you, I Like you teaching🎉
Keep them coming
Such great stuff! Bob England
That was a really great video, thank you!
That's brilliant.
Great description, great example, great advice. Thanks, Richard
“Don’t do this…” - 😂 Love your videos, love your approach, love your reasoning behind your approach. I learn something new each time I watch - including what NOT to do! Cheers.
Really impressive as ever.
Superb presentation Richard. Looking forward to the next series. Cheers.
I had not thought through the angled planning, very clever. Cheers.
Nice variation on edging.
Excellent!!!
This short video is an absolute treasure trove! Bravo maestro!
Loved this video!
You really need to come back to youtube. If you’d have posted regularly a few years ago you’d have been huge by now. I know you went a different path but KZread misses you!
Sir Richard, you are a master woodworker!
I miss old lumpy with the branch handle. Good info as always.
Thank you! This was an excellent explanation and demonstration on edge jointing.
I tried it. Works like a charm! Thanks man!!
Would be overjoyed to apprentice with you! Your approach to explaining things and the workings is brilliant and faff-less. Thanks for another free video!
Good stuff!
Top notch, I never thought of using my bench like that.
Thanks for this Richard. As a guitar maker (luthier to the posh knobs) I frequently join guitar tops and this a wonderful alternative to using a conventional shooting board and will prove really useful when dealing with stupid shaped pieces.. nice one.
Well, a fabulously smart tutorial. This technique will be with me for the rest of my days. Thank you for your generosity of spirit Richard.
I've had trouble with edge joints and I tried this trick. Worked like a champ! Thanks!
Thanks for this simple technique. Used this to edge joint oak boards for a table top and it worked far better than any method I'd tried before.
Thanks
That was very helpful. Edge jointing can be extremely fiddly.
fantastic video! glad you turned the comments on, hopefully the youtube algo boosts your channel, you deserve a load more subscribers and views!
Love this idea of using your bench as shooting board. Building a very late one for myself now so I think I will need to give this a go. I find getting 90 degree narrow edges to still be a problem for me, I tend to end up chasing the angle going too far, or spend too long with too minor of a cut not getting back square, or putting a twist in the top.... only to end up making one end low and the entire edge not flat along the length. This may help me with that.
I'm just here to say that I've bought several of Richard's video series and they all were totally worth it. I wish ad revenue would be enough to support such channels, but it just isn't.
Now, how did you think of this? I’m needing to start the plans I’ve recently purchased. I will admit once in a while I think “what did he just say?” After playing a few times I get it. A good idea young man!
Amazing! I never considered handling it like that. Thank you.
A similar technique is used in planing the edge of the two sides of a guitar top for gluing.
Brilliant; thank you--keeps the plane from tilting (versus when the board is in the vise).

how tall do you recommend the winding sticks (or whatever one places under the board) be? 1/3 the plane blade's width?
Given a flat-square board, would dowels provide strength and alignment?

Do absolutely zero of this. Eyeball it. Spread glue everywhere. Don’t use clamps. Set them upright and let gravity push one on to the other. Whatever comes out, call it modern art, belittle people for not understanding your process. Price it at $5,000. Move on to the next project.
Buy a Maffel track saw they’re unbelievably accurate.
