This convenient new planer sled design offers an alternative to jointer machines for flattening boards. With my "multiwedge" sled, you can use a relatively compact and inexpensive thickness planer for both flattening and thicknessing. It's easy to build, requiring no special materials or hardware. The home woodworker may find it the most useful, but it can also be used to flatten wide boards that don't fit on jointers.

Thanks to Sean Carty for his help with this video and contributing the photo of his jointer.
