How to mill timber/lumber - Introduction to milling with a jointer and thickness planer

In this video I take you through the whole process of milling your timber to be square, flat, and parallel using a jointer and thickness planer. I show you how to determine grain direction, and how to best run your workpiece through the machine. I also show you where to put hand pressure and talk you through some of the safety concerns/precautions.
