A great teacher with a very visual method of teaching for those of us who may not learn the same way as others. Excellent video

That’s exactly how he helped me so much!

This was a great primer on milling lumber. So good. When I started milling I always did a face and an edge before moving to the thicknesser. I later moved on to do what Steve did to expand my options as stated. Being able to use either face as a reference is really key in certain cases to get best results. P.S. I would pay Steve to teach me anything.

Watching this process was so helpful to me as I approach a large project right now. I will be applying the advice and sequence tomorrow. Thank you.

Always a joy to watch. Never hurts to review the basics.

Thank you Anne! You're my hero! I bought a used jointer & planer last year and haven't had a chance to use either yet. Finally bought some rough-sawn oak today and low and behold, you had a brand new video waiting for me!

Great to see you again Anne. Very good demonstration of not only saving as much material as possible, but also the process of cleaning up your raw material. Thank you have a great week.

I seriously just had flash back to middle school and high school shop class. Watching you and Steve, explain the process of rendering your own lumber. Great job as usual.

He's a great teacher!

I have learned and worked in a couple of shops, and I have to say this video was much more educational on the basics than any shop employer ever taught or requested...

I usually take all of my scraps and make something strange. I made a funny duck, some strange shelving, and a pyramid jewery box for my daughter.

I don’t have much experience in preparing wood for woodworking so this video was excellent and will help me dip my toe in the water. Thank you to you and Steve for being so generous with your knowledge!

Awesome! More videos with Steve! Love all your projects, your work ethic and your dedication. Keep up the good work, you are doing a great service by making these videos.

Amazing very informative and helpful video Anna. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.

Great video Anne.

Fantastic Instructional and Inspiring Video. Good Luck.

Thanks Anne!

I love your videos. You really inspire me. Have you ever thought about making a how to book on spoon carving or wood working?

Thanks for the crash course in milling lumber. That is a beautiful piece of walnut.

Hello Anne, I don't usually comment but this is a great video. we are sharing the same problems with wood prices here in England and as you say, it's important to get the most out of what we've got, save as much for future use, buy glue, joint smaller pieces for smaller projects. If I can add to the advice, don't be obsessed with totally flat or straight where it's not important. I live in a 110 year old Victorian house where almost nothing is parallel. I use twisted planks where possible to follow twisted walls. Laura Kampf has a video on how to joint wavy wood planks using a bandsaw, you can glue up matched cut edges. I love the fact you are building the school too. Will it be open to us Brits when ready?😊 I love American woodworking, with its differences. Thanks.

Using twisted planks to follow twisted walls is a brilliant idea. I live in a Victorian house too and was just wondering yesterday how all the woodwork fitted the wobbly walls so well. That much be the trick! Thanks for sharing this

Great video Anne, really very informative, very clearly presented by Steve and then edited together. I don't have anything powered, but I'm always trying to not waste wood, although most is already dimensioned lumber, I do plan to try harvesting some big fallen trees in a gully that are blocking the trail. Also, great explanation of kick back, which, unfortunately is VERY real and something my brother experienced and lost his most of the vision in one of his eyes too - piece kicked back, hit him on top the eye, detached his retina about 75%, surgery couldn't fix it.

Always something interesting to see on this channel. Thank you for the continued great content!

I save a lot of money buying straight from a local mill. I get rough sawn, kiln dried stock and use either my hand tools or power tools to dimension it depending on size of wood and project.

Some good tips - thanks for posting. Thumbs up!

Even if your wood isnt as long or wide as you would like it to be, you can still make every inch count. I am sure many will find this helpful!

I see Anne uses my shop cleaning technique @8:26. Effective.

I dont like having a follower push stick, for me its better to keep the pressure on the outfeed table as much as possible to avoid lifting the board by pushing down in the infeed.

Hi Anne great tips . and a dirty shop.

A dirty shop is one that’s getting used. I’ll take that over a clean shop any day

This is all basically correct but the most important weapon in maximising use and minimising waste is a powerful accurate bandsaw. The first rule is make a cut list and select the best boards for each component. Cut the longest stuff first and work your way down. Docking to length and resawing for width will massively reduce the number of useless off cuts and wasted rippings. Leave latitude in your widths and you can almost eliminate wasted edges. If it's a door you can resaw the panels from 2" stock and butterfly them. The rails are much shorter than the stiles so that's where you dock them out of the twisted and cupped boards to reduce loss of thickness. Stiles need the straightest lengths. Careful docking and selection is the key to saving timber. Resawing reduces waste even further. Don't rip boards on the saw unless you have no other way. Never mill your boards full length before selecting components. You will waste a lot of valuable thickness.

Great video a

Anne if I heard correctly you are making the door for the woodworking school building? If so that's awesome news I'm happy for you and the community that will be turning up to learn woodworking from you and others. I hope you will be making loads of video's on the build of your school and sharing them on your KZread channel!!! As always Anne 💯% 👍 🇬🇧. P.s I love how ridiculously covered in cobwebs your Sawstop is, it makes it look like it's been there since about 1960's very authentic 🤣😂🤪

@@AnneofAllTrades Anne that's fantastic news on the school front and I really am happy for you. It just goes to show if you want something and are prepared to work your ass off to get there, anything is possible!!!. Congrats and I can't wait to see the video's once you're able to upload them! As always Anne 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

Good basics. Are you going to get into selecting the wood for the various parts grain wise.That's where I sometimes create a lot of waste which as a wood hoarder can pile up but are always becoming useful for other projects

Anne, when are you projecting the school to open? Would love to come out and take some classes!

I appreciate the thoughtfulness with which both of you evaluated the wood in order to maximize the amount of useful wood available, as well as the clarity with which you showed your process. I do have one concern, however: I noticed that neither of you were wearing masks which, for a school for woodworking, to my way of thinking would be something that you would want to stress to your students. Thanks, again, for the video.

@AnneofAllTrades

I can’t really in good conscience, stress something that I don’t, myself do. There are great applications for masks, when spraying finishes, dealing with exotic woods, and situations like fine sanding where there are fine particulate dust particles present, but these tools aren’t generating fine dust particles, they’re generating shavings. I have adequate dust collection, and this is local hardwood I cut and milled myself.

You have to respect an old shop teacher that still has all their fingers. They definitely practiced what they preached.

Looks like that scrap pile is worth a few hundred dollars at the boutique wood store. I'm too cheap to waste the wood split at the end - yellow glue, shop vac and clamp. Very nice equipment, thanks for the upload.

All of this is good information! One note however: Wood moves! Just because it's square and parallel with no twist today, doesn't mean it still will be tomorrow. (Or even 2 hours from now.)
