Working with live edge wood can be made easy by using simple live edge woodworking techniques. In this video I will show you live edge woodworking and the methods and techniques I use to flatten live edge wood and how to square up live edge wood. When using live edge lumber it can be difficult to use certain machines as the boards are often rough sawn and not completely flat. This video will give you an understanding as to how you can work with live edge wood in your shop and get the boards ready for your next diy project by using these live edge woodworking techniques. When using live edge wood you may want to debark the lumber, flatten both sides of the board and create straight edges without a jointer and I will explain all of those steps in detail by using live edge cherry lumber. With the live edge wood techniques used in this video you can flatten rough sawn live edge wood and create straight edges on all sides. These woodworking techniques can also be used on live edge slabs and you can flatten a live edge slab using my planer sled method. I hope these woodworking techniques for working with and using live edge lumber and live edge slabs helps you, have a great day. #liveedge #diy #woodworking Planer Sled for Machine Planer Link to the Planer Sled build video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7spWHTkTH5Y Link to the plans for my custom designed Planer Sled: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GKUFYLSLe9Abj-KZTRX_oI4xlJY0wixr/view?usp=sharing Jointer Jig for Table Saw Link to the Jointer Jig build video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baF11jibRRE I have many more woodworking videos on my channel so don't forget to swing over to the Shopfix channel page to check more videos out!
