Ditch The Clamps! You Never Used Masking Tape This Way Before
Use this Masking Tape and Glue Hack instead of clamps in those tricky situations that are too awkward to get a clamp on things. This handy little trick is something all woodworkers, carpenters, finishing carpenters, DIYers should know. It is especially handy when woodworking and running a cnc. if you ever needed to know how to hold a piece of wood or a board or a warped board down in a cnc when the vacuum doesn't suck it down then this works great. I used this in a project where I wasn't able to get my Epoxy River Table to hold down in the cnc because of a warp in so I used 2 part glue and masking tape to hold it down and it worked great. I also test using double sided tape to hold things and method also works. I also show some other ways to use this tape and glue hack to hold a laser level on a non magnetic surface, cutting multiple pieces at once, and fixing gaps in plank flooring or laminate flooring. hopefully this video is of use to you!

      Good question! So stupid of me I didn't mention it once in the video. It's CA glue with an activator. I'm using a brand called Miter Bond in the video another common brand is fast caps 2P10, and I believe gorilla glue has one as well and I'm probably sure there's many more that I can't think about off the top of my head

    • @Ashton1andonly
      @Ashton1andonly 3 місяці тому

      Cool thing about it is that along as you could hold the boards at the exact angle you wanted them at, it will work. However, when you're overlapping the boards on the angle, you want the ends would have to be either 1st cut at an angle or run them past if it's already cut at 90 degrees...

      I definitely see this more in older homes... but sadly, I've run into things like this in new builds. Mostly around windows. It's common to see the windows slightly inset from the drywall about an 1/8" or less.. with those dimensions, it doesn't warrant cutting a piece to extend the jamb... So this technique works great for keeping the trim tight to the wall and jambs while also keeping the miter tight together.

  • @Escviitash
    @Escviitash 5 місяців тому

    A much easier way, a you only have to mark the miter on the wide board: Mark and cut the wide board and place it against the fence like you did with the board cut at 45°. Set the saw to 90° and press the narrow board against the cut on the wide board, and slide it so the blade meets the corner and make the second cut. Two benefits: Firstly you don't have to line up the wide/guide board exactly with the blade, and secondly you are guaranteed that the two angles add up to exactly 90°.

    Once you set up the mitre saw for the angle you could have put a stop block on the right side of the blade and gone very quickly, you could also make the shims longer than the width of your stock, but less than the saws cutting width. The table saw method at the end with the extra holding block was overkill, you could have just used the push stick to hold it against the blade and gotten more than one or two shims out of the tail end. Other than that, great way to make your own shims.
