In this episode, Tommy starts milling the wood with the jointer & table saw. He also goes over useful thoughts to optimize grain wood selection to get nice grain flow with the top and bottom rails.

You could land a small airplane on that jointer!!! Nice post, Tommy. I appreciate the effort and time that you are taking to do this. I can empathize with you about the “difficulties” presented by trying to give a lecture AND do some woodworking. It is tough to maintain your concentration.
Keep ‘em coming.

Wow, hard not to be envious of your shop & machinery! Thanks for posting this series. I like how you break everything down to the basic elements . . . makes it all seem much more doable.
