Support What we do at the Katz-Moses Tools Store: http://www.KMtools.com Is wood movement a myth or just misunderstood? I read the Forest Service Product Laboratories 508 Page, “Wood Handbook - Wood as an Engineering Material,” to find out. It has 30 years worth of data and studies and I have learned how to calculate EXACT WOOD MOVEMENT without any specialty tools (just easy math) anywhere you or your furniture is in the world. I even put all the things you need in a FREE PDF on my website. I think people get so wrapped up in wood movement that they stop to consider that most people don’t really know how much wood moves so they default to teaching that it is a lot. Plus, location matters a lot. To combat the misconception that every project you make is going to explode like a hand grenade I did about 100 hours of reading to make this video. Let me tell you, it is probably less than you think.
