This was so helpful! I am a novice and just do little projects for myself. I don’t have a lot of fancy tools and don’t build enough things to warrant buying some of these things. But you show me how to totally make this work, thank you!
Glad to see someone who takes the time to instruct viewers on the basics. Love seeing redo projects, building projects, but seeing things like how to countersink screws is something us novices need to know. Great job. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe.
I love how you stick to the basics, cut to the meat, and don’t don’t have any gimmicks to this video. Super helpful and definitely will continue to follow your clips!
You should always drill a pilot hole regardless of wood. Minute cracks expand with time, moisture, weather, mold, etc. Why have one? No cracks. Excellent video. No BS intro, no music, to the point, great visuals, what joy! Very useful info. I have these but forgot how to use them. Thank you for a great demo! Subscribed.
Ny dad bought me a set of these. Ryobi brand cause that's all they had. I told him every time I build something out of wood, it splits on me all the time. Thank you so much for the well detailed video! I have confidence that these bits will help me immensely.
Thanks for this video. I bought a large Dewalt bit set more than 20 years ago. I still have them. I don't use them often. It has countersink bits in it. I never touched them. I didn't know what they were for. I didn't even know what they were called. Now I know.
Thanks for the video, I've been doing different construction projects with my dad for ages, but I never really learned finer techniques to improve my skills. I decided to restore an old machete my father's had for years as a gift. Sanded it, and the handle was dry rotted so I'll be making a new one using this to keep the bolts hidden.
Thankyou. I"m a novice on a learning curve using power tools. Have countersink bits but wasn't sure how to use correctly.And using the larger drill bit is so logic, but l never thought of it.
Thank you for this video! I never would have thought to check if the screw head would fit BEFORE you screw the actual screw in..hahaha! This video is probably very elementary wood shop education, but for those of us who never had that training…thank you.
You saved my squirrels with this video! I’m hanging cabins on trees for them, and the one I did yesterday I had to put tape over non-countersunk screws. Thanks to you I’ll get it right today. Thank you!!!
There is much more to counter sinking. There are better bits to use, and also ways to avoid tear out. Keep looking at other videos. I'm not in a position to make a channel yet but one day I will. This video would be considered, very basic and not advanced. It is much appreciated though. I will give one tip though. Clamp your work down and make several tests on scrap the same you are using for your nice project. Repeat and practice 3 or 4 times befor drilling into the real thing. Some bits will really bore in fast and you'll drill to China. Do t forget to set your cluch while doing your tests and consider using a hand screwdriver for the final screwing. You won't regret it!
That was great ! I really appreciate your time and advice ! I’m not a novice just lazy to some of the finer points of woodworking … ‘close enough is good enough’ 🙄 But now that I’m retired and attempting to complete various projects, I would like the finish project to look more presentable. And your video has gone a long way in helping me raise my standards 👍
So helpful! When you just brought out the larger bit as an alternative, I thought “🤦🏼♀️ why didn’t I think of that?!” I’ll be fixing some very unprofessional-looking drawer fronts. Thank you!
THANK YOU! I didn’t even know those bits existed! I had this over sized headboard project that I did with MDF & the struggle was real to countersink, let me tell you. Ugh
Man!!! This was so helpful. I’ve been wanting to get into woodworking and have been watching a lot of videos and I have yet to see anyone go into the foundations of woodworking. TYSM!
Thanks for that last tip. I always use those screws, but counter sink anyway coz sometimes those little raised bits are basically blunt and doesn't do anything
@The Fixer I never knew there were those kinds of bits. Christmas ideas. Yes, already, lol. I have to get ahead of my husband and he really loves tools and cool gadgets that he can use.Can you maybe do a video on some more cool gadgets tool related? He has every Husky bag there is and is a Ryobi guy too. Even his yard tools are Ryobi. Any gadgets phone related, yard work related, flashlights, anything, lol. I would really like to wow him. Thank you SO much for your very informative video's. I always, always learn something new and I do use tools. 🤗❤
Hey Georgia Peach! I will keep that in mind. I was actually considering doing a “gift ideas for the DIYer” this year! Thanks for checking out the video!!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair Yes! I definitely need it! Thank you SO much! Love, love your video's. You explain it to where I can understand it and it's never complicated.
This is great stuff. I've seen some reverse the screw in initially and then in the correct direction but it doesn't come out as when done properly as you showed.
you should mention which countersink bit size is proper for counter sink screw size, like how a machinist would do it. I hate doing things trial and error and eyeballing.
im confused how you drilled the holes to attach the top part. It goes so fast in the video its hard to see exactly. I dont get why you drilled through the top and the bottom and not just once from underneath. Great simple video though. Might be trying this setup.
This was really cool! Love the alternative ways added too. Took me awhile to remember the word countersinking. Curious if a Forstner bit could also work for countersinking? Picked up a set for 1 project years ago and haven't used it since, makes me wonder if I could have saved the $10 on the countersink set.
Question for anyone, Any thoughts on the Kreg Quick Flip? Specifically, I think the size of it is 1/4" and designed for the Kreg screws, but would it also work for most any other type screw?
Now I don’t feel like such a knob for not knowing I could adjust the depth on my bit lol. And was I correct in assuming a #8 countersink bit is for #8 screws?
There is another bit called a countersink bit . It’s just a short bit that drills just the counter part of the hole … you didn’t show that . I want to get a set but now I Don’t know if I should get the ones that have the drill included or just the short bits that only cut out the sunken part . Should I get both ? Seems like the ones with the drill attached will save time ?
My comment is if the drill bit are circular in side if it some how got damage could I buy around drill bit from the hard ware stores to replace the internal drill thoughts please thank you!
GREAT FREAKING VIDEO!!!!! No bs, no longwinded history, just the info we came for with some examples.

Very clear and complete explanation. Thanks!

I’ve always used the second method. I may just invest in these to save time. Thank you and keep them coming.
Might be worth it! Thanks, Cheryl!

Perfect video , your way of teaching to novice is just great .
god bless you mate
very helpful. thank you! videos for newbies are the way to go. we are the ones that do the most research on how to do basic tasks.

Very helpful. Thank you!
Awesome video, very informative!
Thanks man
Nice clear video
Just what I needed. Thanks.

Next time run the thicker bit backwards starting off. the wood will char and solidify it will prevent the wood from stripping away pieces

Forstner or counter sink for gun stocks that are laminated
very nice
Question for anyone,
Any thoughts on the Kreg Quick Flip?
Specifically, I think the size of it is 1/4" and designed for the Kreg screws, but would it also work for most any other type screw?
Hi, can I use construction screws on Hardie Plank? Only to do a small repair. Great video! Thnx
Now I don’t feel like such a knob for not knowing I could adjust the depth on my bit lol. And was I correct in assuming a #8 countersink bit is for #8 screws?
This was so informative, thanks!!
Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching!
Could you also use this to sink and use dial rod behind
thanks a lot!
No problem! Hope the video helps you out!

I've had decent results with a wood spare bit as well.
I like this video
Thnx
Thank you, now I don't need to buy any thing, I can use what I have.
My comment is if the drill bit are circular in side if it some how got damage could I buy around drill bit from the hard ware stores to replace the internal drill thoughts please thank you!
Wow amazing !! Can I use this on wood panels that I am putting up on the wall that are like 9mm thick ??
