On Mike's flattening a 'too wide' board by putting the center of the convex side down on the power Jointer, consider doing the same thing - likely safer - by using a scrub plane crossgrain, with the board secured on the bench convex up, removing the hump. Then use that side down going thru the Planer. Then flip it...
Don't have a scrub plane? Make one out of an old $10-$20 beater #5. Here is example HOWTO:

Hi guys!
Very entertaining podcast, congrats! I know you are beholding to your advertisers, but really!, pocket hole joinery and Fine Woodworking should never be used in the same sentence, paragraph, page etc. There are so many proper easy ways to do a face frame joint: lap joint, dowels, biscuits, mortise and tenon, all of which are easy to do. I think this type of joinery might have a place in Fine Homebuilding at best.
On the subject of woodworkers doing carpentry, I sometimes do small renos or home improvement projects, my customers find my finicky attention to detail and precision annoying but they always delight in the results and compliments they get after. The bill, not so much!
Keep up the good work!
One of your Canadian listeners,
Pierre
