Here for both a love of solid wood and because the cost of plywood is through the roof. Never would have thought solid wood would be so cheap in comparison! Time to pick up some new skills~

7 years later and this hasn't aged a bit, well maybe the music... There is so much good information from someone that must have made hundreds of those. A mistake everyone miss is squeezing those clamps hard one by one. Steve is 100% right: little by little, and go thru all clamps in a pattern, you may have to loosen one to get another right. I have also to command the making of the video, specifically the editing of the steps-chapters involved, in their chronological order. One of the key to success is making sure all sides of boards that touches another need to be cut a perfect 90 degrees. An easy way to achieve this is just ripping an 1/8" off; it squares the rounded corners and set a true 90 edge.

I'd like to clarify something you touched on around 4:10 when matching up pieces based on ring curve when viewing endgrain. This does actually matter a great deal, depending on climate. Unless you plan to do raised panels, the panels you're putting together will inherently warp IF the curvature of endgrain are identical with all pieces. One of the best ways to combat warping is to alternate the pieces. Again, this varies based on climate and wood species but general rule of thumb is to alternate the pieces. Just throwing that out there after making raised panels for a quilt chest and considering various options of construction, you definitely want to alternate the pieces if you want your project to outlive you.

Nice video, Steve! You kind of waded into a couple of controversial topics, but handled them skillfully as usual. One thing I've discovered over the years, is when you start tightening the pipe clamps, start with the center clamp first. The individual pieces of wood you're gluing up tend to slip back and forth against one another a lot less that way. I start in the center, then move to one end, then the other, then the center again, and so on. The boards don't move around nearly as much, if at all.

Do you guys know the old salt trick? Sprinkle a little salt on the glue and the granules will press into the mating blocks of wood virtually locking the two pieces together eliminating movement while applying clamp pressure.

Best 9 and a half minutes I've ever spent watching a carpentry video. Learning about pipe clamps, alone, will save me a fortune.

My woodworking skills, which sometimes I question even exists.. always have me looking for an Elite level Woodworker with a teaching ability to connect with someone at my, our, level and even do projects more more in a way a weekend guy would do so as hobbyists. Appreciate it, some of you explanations really help a woodworker at my level.

To increase the chances of getting a flat panel: 1) layout the wood for the best look FIRST, alternating the growth ring pattern, circle face up then circle face down. 2) Mark the panel with a triangle to locate the boards in the panel. 3) NOW mark one side of a glue joint with IN and the other with OUT. 4) If you have a jointer, joint each edge, with the Face marked IN against the fence, the face marked out away from the fence. By doing this even if the jointer fence or your Table Saw (on the jig do face up & face down) is not perfectly square, the joint will be flat. Sketch it out on paper and you will see it. 5) When you are about to glue. LIGHTLY clamp one end of the panel and see if there is gappage in any of the joints at the loose end. This is a test for the straigtness of the joint. NOTE: if there is a gap and you glue any way you introduce stress in the panel and the chance of a crack developing hopefully after the check clears. Check your Jointer set up. NOTE: I never use dowel or biscuits. Also check for flatness across the joints. 6) DO NOT put the fear of God into the clamp pressure. If the joint is good just enough pressure to hold it all in place. 7) Remove the excess glue off the joints. NOW LET THE GLUE LINE DRY! BEFORE you sand the panel. Remember you have introduced moisture into the joint and it will swell. If you sand too soon, the joints will seem flat but then the wood will shrink as the joint dries completely and there will be a valley along the joint. I've been a professional woodworker, fine furniture and architectural wood work for 40 years.

Long time contractor and general handyman here. Been watching your channel for about 6 months now, love every minute of it. I have been working for the same family for a little over 3 years, on 5 properties on their "compound" as we call it. Charlie, the oldest of the 2 brothers, has been building homes for the last 40+ years. He was taught by his father, whom had been building homes for 50+ years before he passed away in the 80's. We built solid oak cabinets for the younger of the 2 brothers' home this past winter, before I discovered your channel. All the panels we made for the cabinets started with rough 1" thick oak. After rough planing the boards down to around 7/8", we used the exact same techniques to make all the panels (20+ feet of kitchen wall cabinets) as you used in your video. Your methods are tried and true, and have been used by master woodworkers for generations. Nice video, and keep up the good work!

Great stuff as usual. The only thing I would add as a tip is to put painters tape on the pipe before setting the boards on it and clamping them down. This eliminates the discoloration of the glue on the underside that gets squeezed out on the pipe. Also reduces the amount of sanding you have to do.

WOW!! what a great video. I use most of the techniques mentioned, but did pick up a few new ones. This video should be required viewing for all woodworking classes. Great job!!

Yes, it makes a difference which way the grain is going. Else you could end up with a banana when the timber acclimatises. Alternating grain means the individual boards will bend in different directions. If the board is braced then you match the grain better and compromise alternating grain as a fixed board won't bend as much.

As a bit of background, I am a cabinet maker and make all kinds of furniture. We always lay our boards flat under weights to reduce movement, if those components aren't going to be used immediately. I would definitely recommend alternating the growth rings as much as possible where it is not essential. Any boards bigger than 6" get ripped down 99% of the time when making panels, as there is just too much movement. As you already found when selecting timber.

Thank you Steve. That was VERY informative and a BIG help. I LOVE your videos and PLEASE keep up the GREAT WORK.

A long, long, time ago I was taught to take a rounded scraper along the edges to be glued. This ensured the outer edges were the first points of contact when they were glued. You don't have to take much out, usually just one or two light passes with the scraper did the job.

I don't understand why you need the jig or why you can't use is for both sides. Isn't the fence parallel to the blade?

@rogermurph101

DinoDillinger the jig ensures that the side being cut remains parallel to the fence as it passes along the blade. Without the jig, the wood you're cutting can wobble along the fence if the wood isn't perfectly straight on the fence side. So you then don't get a straight cut.

Also, the board might be too long to register against the fence the same all the way through. For example you find a board that is slightly bent. Obviously you can't register the bowed edge on the fence. But if you register the cupped edge, as the board progresses into the cut the trailing edge then meets the fence and shifts the alignment of the board. Thus the need for the jig to ensure it stays in one alignment all the way through. And yes, saves you from possible kick back too :)

Felipe Forlin, I’m presume you know by now, your fence is only so long, and as you lead the board in or finish it, you might drift a bit. Also, if the board isn’t close to straight in the beginning, it could take several passes on each side as you ‘weathervane’ in a sense, to straight edges. I’m just speaking from my experience of destroying a lot of lumber, developing my technique. I know weathervane isn’t the right word but I hope you get it from context. Who knows a better word? I’d say asymptotically develop a straight edge, but that sucks too.

Steve, you should really make a compilation video of your favorite microjig video intros. They're one of my favorite parts of your vides!

Use the router table as defection in the blade will prevent the board from being square and flush. Just invest in a jointer and a thicknesser if you want to work with natural wood. You cannot prepare the wood correctly without it. And it will allow you to buy wood rough which will reduce the cost and your boards will be thicker if you prepare them yourself.

I've always been interested in woodworking, never started out to do it myself, but your viedos are awesome and you make it seem even more fun that what I tough it was.

Great video! I am about to do this exact thing when making a kitchen tabletop and this is a great guide for me. Thanks!

You don't need a table saw or a jointer or router table you can just use a plane and get as good results

Yes but then you need a decent workbench and vice which I don't yet have either. Plus good hand tools are not cheap either.

Dave XB not at all I'm working off the saw horses steve made and while there aren't the best built they work. No vice either just clamp to the side

Dave XB Yeah, a hand plane is so much money. seriously...

I'm not a fan of the synchronized micro jig. But I do like to watch the Belt sander racing!

Nicely done Steve! I've recently become a big fan of Urethane adhesives for this type of joining... Dries with a crust and sands off effortlessly ..

Venturing into making a desk so this video was helpful! THanks!

Am I missing something here? I can't see how the clamps on the top are helping to prevent bowing. They are just adding more pressure to the ends.

The clamps, while applying pressure to the sides, actually is greatest at the bottom. With so much pressure on the wood, over time the boards can bow up during the glue up. To counter this, alternate your clamps with an equal number on the top of the board as there are under it so the net forces are zero and boards will remain as flat as possible.

Your explanation is rhight, but look at the video!! In this position the upper clamps can´t help preventing anything, because the pipes aren´t flush with the boards!!

Its not about the pipe pressing against the board, its about the greatest point of pressure from the clamp faces (the orange parts that actually press on the ends of the boards). If you have them all on the same side, like the underside, you may be putting more clamp pressure on the bottom plane of the wood surface you're trying to create vs the top. So to prevent this you alternate clamps on the top as well, so that pressure is applied more evenly. Ignore the pipe, its not part of the equation. Think of the clamps like this \__________/ as opposed to this |_________|

It's become a circus anyway.

That's exactly what I got from this... The confidence to make panels. Thanks buddy 👍

that board looked well matched! i used to do it for a living for kitchen doors. great job

Now paint your pipe clamps grey, speak some Russian, and people would think this video was made by MTMwood.

I use it all the time Noah

Super Video --Ive been biscuiting for years but this helps me so much for future projects!!!

I really like your way of explaining. it's really easy to understand

I've been hesitant to give this a go but after watching this video I will now try my hand at it. Thanks Steve, very informative.

I use ratchet ties instead of clamps. Works like a charm and no limits to the length. Thank you a lot for the video

Great video, educational, and helpful. I learned a lot. Was thrilled that you actually showed the final product.

I've watched a few of your videos. SUPER informative for people like myself that have very little experience with woodworking. Subbed!
