Choosing the Right Method: Is a Planer Worth It? - WT Episode 582 Wood Talk 2025-06-27 | In today's discussion, I address a question from Misha, who is looking to save time in the shop by focusing on building rather than prepping stock. Misha contemplates using a planer for projects under three feet in length and up to twelve inches wide, but he is concerned about dealing with board face imperfections like cup and twist without a joiner. I explain that one of the quickest ways to flatten a board is by using a saw to chop it down to manageable lengths, as this often removes most of the bow. For wider pieces, slicing them into thinner planks can also eliminate issues with cupping. Although jigs can stabilize boards for planing, for smaller movements, Misha could use a hand plane to ensure the board doesn't rock on the planer bed, making it easier to achieve the desired flatness without the need for a complex setup.

Wood Talk 2025-06-15 | In the latest episode of Wood Talk, the guys dive into a big question: Are we missing out creatively by skipping tech like SketchUp or CNC? Marc shares how digital design helps him dial in proportions and work through joints, while still appreciating the value of hands-on mock-ups. Shannon? Well… he might still reach for the chisel 😅It’s not just convenience—it’s a mindset. Are tools like CAD and Domino “selling out” or leveling up? Let’s talk.🎧 Listen now and join the conversation: youtube.com/watch?v=apAbYLH0VOY🔨 Sponsored by @woodcraftsupply — Together, we can create anything!#WoodTalk #WoodworkingPodcast #DigitalDesignVsHandTools #SketchUp #CADDesign #DominoJoiner #CNCWoodworking #MarcVsShannon #ModernWoodworker #WoodworkingLife #WoodcraftUSA #WoodshopDebates #TraditionVsTech #WoodworkingCommunity #WoodTalkShow

Do you know how?They want to make sure you know what to expect when it comes to this whole tariff debacle. Because tariffs are obviously going to impact a LOT of the major power tool purchases woodworkers make in the foreseeable future.So while details and dates are somewhat fluid, here are the most current timelines:JPW (that’s Jet and Powermatic): June 15thLaguna - July 1stSawstop - Mid-JulyWoodcraft is trying to be as transparent as possible and they’ll be sending out emails about this in the future. Bottom line is, prices are going up. Woodcraft didn’t set the prices so don’t shoot the messenger.So if you’re in the market and were thinking about making a major purchase, it probably behooves you to do it now.In fact, here’s one better. When you go to woodcraft.com, you’ll get a little popup offering you a discount for signing up for their newsletter. Do it, because you can save 10% off your first order.
