This joint project with my friend, James, is a classical woodworking workbench for his workshop. In this video, I show a very brief overview of gluing up the hard maple slab for the workbench top, and then using a custom jig and router to make the top and bottom surfaces flat and parallel.
This method of flattening large slabs with a custom jig and router is well known. H/T to Marc Spagnuolo, aka The Wood Whisper, for his in-depth video on this method. If your interested in more details of the router bit, the jig, the "string method" for making the jig rails parallel to one another, and other tips, here's a link to Marc's video:
