Do you remember your first time at the workbench?

Many of us can trace our love of woodworking back to a single moment: a birdhouse, a shop class, or someone who handed us a hammer and enough freedom to have fun.

What does it take to spark that same interest in kids today? We talked with educators, makers, and industry leaders to find out.

The jointer is one of those “heaven or headache” tools. When it’s working properly, it makes quick, sweet work of straightening and flattening boards. However, a poorly tuned jointer can cause no end of frustration, yielding crooked edges, weirdly tapered pieces, and washboard surfaces.

Though a relatively simple tool, the jointer requires an exacting setup. Learn how to tune up a jointer at woodcraft.com
