Proving you can learn to do all of this and have fun (esp. while being safe) is vital to bringing in new learners.

    • @@arrrexx no, I meant what I wrote. I understand your perspective, but we clearly have different learning styles, there is nothing wrong with this, but I require not just the what and how, but they why and technical details also. I like information concise and deliberate, I don’t need jokes when I am trying to learn. Don’t get me wrong, I love their videos and I appreciate the humour and lightheartedness when performing a craft, but explicitly for learning, it doesn’t do anything for me. Part of the point was also that their videos can be both entertaining and informative when they step out things and focus 100% on the craft, this is a great thing and a credit, not just to the guys on camera, but the people behind the scenes.

  • John, the edge jointing method you're mentioning here has been my bread and butter method for the past 40 years, so I agree that it's the way to go. What I do that's different to ensure I place the correct face against the fence, is to follow a simple rhyme: Odds out; evens in. So the odd numbered boards will have the numbered face away from the fence, while the even numbered boards will have their numbered face against the fence. I have found this guarantees I won't err, and the students I've taught this simple system agree.

  • I use tape for layouts all the time too. Painters tape is fine for what you showed and for layout/marking floors for cabinets or to get an idea of how big something is and is awesome for when you need to snap a non-permanent line. My addition and something I use regularly for precision layouts is post-it note or sticky-tape rolls. It's much clearer for sharp lines/contrast and is erasable. It's more expensive than painters tape but I tend to use it only when I need it. Plus it's a quick tear-off post-it note that is more visible than tape.

  • Wow.....Awesome information. Thanks very much!

    @mfrutchey@mfrutchey19 күн бұрын

  • Three bonus tips I'll give you guys that I wish I'd known! First, use painters tape to keep blowout to a minimum. Just cut right through the tape (just be sure to do it on the correct side if you're only going to tape one side). On the down side for a table saw, Downside and across the far edge against the fence for the miter (cedar is notorious for blowing out on the back end of the cut), on the down side for the bandsaw. Both sides for the scroll saw. Second, don't try to joint highly figured wood like a burl or quilted maple. You'll get chip out every time because the grain is so willy-nilly. You'll have better luck on the planer, but sometimes not much. Best to square another way. There are many. Third, and likely the best finishing tip ever. White vinegar. It won't raise the grain, so use it to wipe down your whole piece before finishing and you'll catch every bit of glue from your fingers or near joints that you didn't know you missed while sanding. Very hard to tell sometimes, but you never want to discover residue as you're applying the finish. Find glue, or have it puddled near the joints? Dab with white vinegar, wait a few seconds for a fingerprint, and scrub it off. Vinegar removes residue from within the grain. For thick stuff you just couldn't get to (as in a corner you missed cleaning up). Soak part of a rag with vinegar, and then pat the dried glue. You'll have to wait and then repeat a few times, but eventually you'll see the glue go opaque and soft. Just a matter of peeling or gently scraping it off. Then scrub the rest away with the rag. Just be super careful on joints. You don't want to flood the joint because if it's melting the glue on the surface, it will do the same in the joint.

    • Taping the appropriate side works with melamine to prevent chip outs as well. And Pergo type flooring etc.

  • The low angle light is a good tip. Another thing I do is I wipe work down with mineral spirits to give me an idea of what it'll look like finished. You have to look while it is wet and has a sheen. Plus you're cleaning your work before you finish it too. Raising the grain, etc. It's saved me from putting a finish on some work before it was ready.

  • The edge jointing trick was a game changer for my glue ups. I learned it as the ins and outs trick. It also works at the the table saw but i mark the boards as up and down. Run one board with the face up and the mating edge with the board face down and the same result is achieved. The CA glue blue tape trick also changed the way i work. Do you REALLY need CA glue in your shop? Yes! Yes you do!!

If you do the same shape a a lot I use the vacuum hold down system. I have my template, surround it with thin window foam along the perimeter. I then have a hole in the template that is connected to hose then to my shop vac. So when I turn on the shop van the template is pressed against my piece of wood I want to duplicate. I then route turn off the shop vac and the piece plops off. Great if you do a lot of the same shape. P.S. Works best if your template is made from say 1/4 acrylic,lexan(something non porous)

  • Good tips. I didn't understand one part of the face side of the board smoothing. If you own a planer wide enough for the board, why would you make it uneven on the jointer instead of just starting with the planer? I get the part about using the MDF for a flat backer, just not the the part about doing part of the job on the too narrow jointer.

    • It's arguably a lot easier and possibly more reliable than making and setting up a Planer sled. It would be interesting to get more into the pros and cons of each approach.

    • For the record, I'm not one to remove my jointer guard and then run the big spinning death blades. Call me superstitious. I'll rip and glue, or make a sled, or (when I had a 6 inch jointer) glue jointed rails onto either side of the board and rip them off after planing

  • Great tip @ 15:50 about sanding wood dust into glue to fill gaps. John's absolutely correct about standard woodworker's glue (PVA glue) not accepting stain, but if you use hide glue it CAN be stained, unlike regular PVA glue.

    • @@kevinhilton8683 Kevin, there are many manufacturers of hide glue including everyone's favorite brand "Titebond". Many people make their own hide glue from chips. Just do a Google search on hide glue - you'll get there my friend!

  • Beginner question: why do the first run on the jointer when face jointing? Can you just do the MDF board and the planer from the start?
