GREAT FREAKING VIDEO!!!!! No bs, no longwinded history, just the info we came for with some examples.
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!
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.
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!
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.
Coppertop Johnson that is awesome to hear. Thank you for the feedback. I will keep making them if you keep watching them!! Thanks again!
Pppp
Thank you! I'm doing a project where I need to countersink into cherry wood. You are clear, concise, and easy to understand.
This was very helpful. Thank you. By the way, you have a really nice complexion.
Perfect video , your way of teaching to novice is just great .
god bless you mate
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.
Awesome! I hope the video helps out!
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!
Thanks, really comprehensive video
Great video on how to counter sink screws and I subscribed to your channel, thank you.
Very helpful, thanks
Nice vid! You got a sub from meeeee. You’re very thorough and explaining things well for beginners
Thanks for the video, precise and to the point, no silly music or constant asks for "likes" and "subscribes". In the end, I liked AND subscribed!
Thank you so much for this! It was really helpful for newbies like myself! 😁😊
This explained some things I had been curious about. Thank you for making such a easy to follow tutorial!
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.
Thank you so much for educating me on counter sinking screws. I’m grateful for you and that you posted this video
Awesome to hear! Happy to help!
Very helpful! Thank you for all the different options.
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 👍
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.
The best explanation! Thank you,😊
Thank you "The Fixer", good to see another of your videos, and tips.
Thanks for watching!
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.
This video was awesome. Thank you.
Perfect instructions! Can’t wait to try it. Many thanks! 🛠
Thank you very much for taking the time to explain. To the point, clear and I learned how to do it. ✌🏼
I always learn so much from these videos!
Thanks... beginner here... directions are simple and clear ... easy to follow... now I'll practice ...👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
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!!!
Thank you so much. This was very informative and helpful. I appreciate that you took the time to teach this to us internet DIYers!
I'm glad it helped!
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!
Glad I could help! 😀
Thank you easy to understand the way you describe this
Very thorough. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you. This was very helpful!
Thank you for sharing this. Cheers!
Very useful video, Thank You ! ! !
Perfect now I know what the meaning and what it does, keep up the good work !
Thanks man I was trying to explain this, but showing them this made it simple .👍
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.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Great video! Thanks.
Excellent! I'm building a wood topped food cart and needed to know how to do this. Thank you!
Thanks for the explanation.
great instructional video thanks for explaining
Excellent instructor
This was so helpful. Thank you 😊
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.
exactly what i needed. thanks!
nice demos
Awesome video, very informative!
Just what I needed. Thanks.
Great video; I'm subscribing.
Very helpful, cheers.
Super helpful! Thank you!
Thanks buddy! It helped.
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!
Nice clear video
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!
Thank you so much!!! Great video and subbed immediately!
10/10! Thanks for the info!
Great video
Great video! Thanks so much:)👍
This was so informative, thanks!!
Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching!
Thank You. This did help. 👍
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
Haha oh yeah! MDF is tough for that for sure. Happy this video could help you out! Thanks for watching!
Incredible! This is so good! Save me a lot of time and trouble! Thank you very much! Subscribe immediately!
Awesome to hear, thank so much, Paul!
Thanks! I knew there was a simple drill bit for this but I wasn't sure what it looked like or how to use it.
Very helpful
I have to install hardware and the screws are to small most of the time, this will help me thanks
Thanks for sharing
Another informative video. 👍
Thanks for checking it out!!
THANK YOU!
This was helpful..thanks
Awesome to hear! Happy to help!
thank you!!
very nice
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
Can you give me advice on what set of counter sink bits you would recommend? I loved this video and it was perfect for beginners and easy to follow.
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.
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.
Thank you!!!!
Thank you.
Supper helpful!!!!!!
Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching!
@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.
Do the construction screws eliminate the hardwood splitting at the end of the boards, especially when you're trying to countersink the head? Thanks for the videos! Love your work!
thanks a lot!
No problem! Hope the video helps you out!
I like this video
Hi, can I use construction screws on Hardie Plank? Only to do a small repair. Great video! Thnx
Wow amazing !! Can I use this on wood panels that I am putting up on the wall that are like 9mm thick ??
This was so helpful for a project I’m about to start ! Thanks for a great video.
Your welcome! Thanks for watching!
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!
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.
Thnx
What about ply? 6mm, I am screwing down to floorboards. Will self tapping countersunks go through that easy? Thanks
What brand of countersink bits are you using in the video?
Great help thanks. Why is the countersink bit gold in colour though? Aren't good colour bits for metallic drilling? This novice is confused. Lol. Many thanks. Great video.
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?
Could you also use this to sink and use dial rod behind
I've had decent results with a wood spare bit as well.
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?
