Olde Bulle Woodworks
Plane Opposite Face and Thickness (1)
Planing the opposite (none-jointed) face of the lumber. This makes the second face FLAT, and PARALLEL to the first (jointed) face. Because the faces are now parallel to each other, the jointed EDGE is now exactly 90 degrees to BOTH faces (we've made three sides of a square - or rectangle in this case).
After both faces are flat and parallel, I keep feeding the lumber through the planer (alternating faces on each pass) until I reach the desired thickness (1 3/4" in this case).
