Is there a text version of this? The video is full of hyper-pans&zooms followed by jittery stills; just nothing these old eyes can (or want to) follow.
Interesting video. You did have a serious problem with that timber, but it enabled you to teach how to deal with it. One way round it is to air dry your own timber and/or store it in a climate controlled environment for a while before you start. Maybe under a bed for a few weeks😀. It’s probably a lot cheaper too. Kiln drying is supposed to give you wood at a certain humidity throughout ready for use with less waiting.
The most important part of this for me was glossed right over; let the resawn lumber sit for a day or two to stabilize before milling to final / close to final dimensions. Wood needs to rest after big trauma, just like people...
