I don't split wood....but when i do....my heart sinks. Great tips....just the time it saves having that 90-degree pilot hole piece...versus eye-balling things with the drill or screw driver...makes sense to make one.
Hey Brad, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch.... I hope I will do a project that will help, after all you just helped me! Thanks buddy! Paul
Hey Darryl, Funny, Felix is Cuban and I am Mexican! Even though he is a great friend and Captain, we never agree on how something is done. Doesn't matter if it's construction or Fire Dept. tactics....he is wrong every time!!!! Let him know that and we will have a few laughs at next years 4th of July party. Have a good night my friend!
Hi Jeff, Man, you made my day my friend. I have been trying to get these tapes on the market for years and it is finally getting somewhere. This has been a long, hard and expensive road, but sometimes exciting. I Really appreciate viewers like you! Thanks! Paul
Thanks Paul. Keep making these great videos! Have you thought of maybe making some solar DIY videos? Although that type of thing is probably best left to the specialists.
Yeah, they have other companies that make similar products, I'm sure they work as well. I just happen to come across this a few years ago, and I was hooked! Thank you for watching! Paul
Every 'activated' glue I've seen says the glue goes on one part, and the activator goes on the other. It's odd that you sprayed activator on both parts.
Good morning fx451Jockey, You're right, this glue is no different, it is in the instructions that you spray one side and glue the opposite. Over the years I found shortcuts that come in handy and this is one. I find that it bonds faster, especially on ceramic or plastic items if I spray the activator on both sides. The activator goes a long way, I usually go through a few bottles of glue before 1 can of activator. Good observation! Happy Thanksgiving!
I made two gates about 5 x 4 feet and did everything the way Paul said, even making the hinge piece wider than the rest of the boards; 2 x 6 instead of 2 x 4s. Wood warps, no getting around it unless you let it dry out for a year or two. My wood warped and the gates that when made met in the middle like a razor blade, are now twisted. Really discouraging.
Hey Jeff, Did you make the gates with Cedar wood or treated? It sounds to me like you may have used treated wood. Treated wood is usually wet when purchased and it can be 3 to 4 times heavier when wet, it will also curl easily. Even if you make your gate with treated fence boards, you should use cedar for the frame. Cedar wood will remain straight while treated 2x4's have a tendency to curl. Sorry you are having this problem!
Hi Andrew, Unfortunately, it is difficult to straighten a gate that has already warped. What kind of wood did you use? If you can salvage the fence boards, you can build a new frame with Lap Joints, I highly recommend building the frame out of cedar and NOT treated 2x4'S. If you have not seen my other videos, I have 2 videos that will show how I build a gate and how to make lap joints. You will need to use 3 cross members with an 8' tall gate. Thanks!
I used treated wood. OK, now I know why. After all the work I did, half lapping glueing and screwing, diagonal bracing; it is discouraging. But, my gate will not sag under any load! The wood was almost wet to the touch when purchased. Next time it will be cedar. Thank you for monitoring the comments.
Jeff, If you have any questions, please send them through www.paulstoolbox.com. I get hundreds of comments a day on this channel and I have trouble keeping up. My site will send me a notification via email. I hope I can help you with this problem!
You just have to realise that some people aren't meant to hold/use tools. If you have to make a jig up to make sure that your drilling straight your one of those people that shouldn't pick up a tool. They also sell a jig for drilling holes that are much more durable than that one that you made out of masonite that you won't have to worry about it breaking all the time....
Good morning Joe, I appreciate your input, but I think you are not seeing the true potential of this tool. I personally, designed ,installed and sometimes built cabinets for hundreds of kitchens and bathrooms. I have seen countless jobs over the years that had blowouts on the cabinet faces due to the installer making a simple mistake or maybe working late and not paying attention. Corner cabinets can be particularly difficult to attach because you cannot see exactly where the center of the style is. I made my 1st tools like this over 20 years ago. I made it from a small metal corner bracket and a metal sleeve, it worked well for years. I lost it and made another one like this. This tool can be kept in your carpenters pouch and it is much more durable than you may think. My plywood tool is several years old and it is still working today. I have several patents on tools and I am well versed in the manufacturing process of tools... This is a DIY channel is meant to give tips and ideas to people who may find use in it. I am not expecting to make everyone happy, but hopefully give many people an option that is useful. Thanks! Paul
Great video. Straight to the point..........no bullshit music........thank you
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Paul. much appreciated.
also, thanks for supporting veterans.
Cheers
Hey Jeffrey,
Thank you my friend, it's always good to hear from you!
Paul
Perfect Timing ... I am just getting ready to update all my kitchen cabinetry. Thanks
I don't split wood....but when i do....my heart sinks. Great tips....just the time it saves having that 90-degree pilot hole piece...versus eye-balling things with the drill or screw driver...makes sense to make one.
Thank you, it's good to hear from fellow carpenters!
Have a good day!
I enjoy watching Paul's videos! He always has a smile, seems like he enjoys what he does & I learn something almost every Time!
handy!! I like the pegboard/bottle cap idea for a depth gauge.
never made a cabinet, and probably never will, but I still watched this whole video. Love your energy, you seem like a very upbeat guy.
Hey Brad,
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch.... I hope I will do a project that will help, after all you just helped me!
Thanks buddy!

Felix says this how it's done in Mexico!
Hey Darryl,
Funny, Felix is Cuban and I am Mexican! Even though he is a great friend and Captain, we never agree on how something is done. Doesn't matter if it's construction or Fire Dept. tactics....he is wrong every time!!!! Let him know that and we will have a few laughs at next years 4th of July party.
Have a good night my friend!

Thx for the Tip and Love your shirt. Dr Rob
Hey Robert,
Thank you for the comment! I really like your Icon as well!
Good stuff. Thanks.
Great info thanks..
i like the bottle top trick. I may back it up with a little hot glue just for good luck if I were drilling a lot of holes
Thant's a good idea , thanks for the tip!
That is called a "T nut". Love your videos and your tape rulers of which I bought two just to support you.
Hi Jeff,
Man, you made my day my friend. I have been trying to get these tapes on the market for years and it is finally getting somewhere. This has been a long, hard and expensive road, but sometimes exciting. I Really appreciate viewers like you!
Thanks!
Paul
And I just bought four ProScribe tape measures online, for the crew.
Hey Paul, how many coats of paint did you use for the cabinets ? Trying to paint wood window frames thanks for the help!
Hi Benjamine,
I use 2 to 3 coats when I spray with my HVLP sprayer and 2 coats if I brush it.
Thanks!
Thanks Paul. Keep making these great videos! Have you thought of maybe making some solar DIY videos? Although that type of thing is probably best left to the specialists.
great tip,that glue looks like strong stuff
Yeah, they have other companies that make similar products, I'm sure they work as well. I just happen to come across this a few years ago, and I was hooked! Thank you for watching!
Paul

hello all, I build a large 8ft 4ft gate, it's unfortunately twisted now, any easy fix that anyone who. I am asking as you made some amazing gates.
I made two gates about 5 x 4 feet and did everything the way Paul said, even making the hinge piece wider than the rest of the boards; 2 x 6 instead of 2 x 4s. Wood warps, no getting around it unless you let it dry out for a year or two. My wood warped and the gates that when made met in the middle like a razor blade, are now twisted. Really discouraging.
