    I have done the hacksaw blade sandpaper trick for 30 years. Two ideas I used
    1) by mounting blades using a couple washers as spacers behind the blade, I get the long with of the sandpaper in the slot.
    2) By mounting the blade teeth down, the teeth have less chance of injury from accidental running hand or arm over it.
    Also Teeth down also allow you to tear the sandpaper as if you are tearing off a paper towel .

      Good idea, yes -- Another obvious thing would be to rig a small piece of wood to overlay it, to both protect it from hip-bumps bending the blade, but also to keep from any kind of general injuries. You can probably figure out some way to "lock" the wood in place such that it makes it difficult to inadvertently dislodge it, so that it takes an act of intent to remove it.
      }}} 1) by mounting blades using a couple washers as spacers behind the blade, I get the long with of the sandpaper in the slot.
      Guessing that's without bending the blade, right? One should probably be a lockwasher.

    The best tip that I know is: When pouring paint or primer (or whatever) out of a can, the addition of some painter's tape can really help. If you make a "V" out of the painter's tape it will greatly reduce the mess that you have to clean up. It makes the stream that pours out smaller and easier to control and also keeps the paint out of the lip of the can. Hopefully this helps someone!

    Paul Sellers didn't buy your blood trick, but you both are pure class carpenters !
    1) On the paint/ stain can. Take the sharp end of a 5-1 tool and drive it thru the "valley" where the lid seeds, with a hammer. I do mine in three places. (Do not drill!! This creates debris in your product)
    When you pour product, excess leaches back into can. Seal can when done, then store upside-down. No dry out.
    2) Heat gun on spray paint can ( especially in winter) at the bottom on a 300°ish setting. Keep rolling can in your hand for a minute or two. Shake every 30 secs. Sprays so much cleaner. (Keep coats light).

  • @kirkcheyney8949
    @kirkcheyney8949 3 роки тому +10

    For the paint/stain in the rim, I have learned a good trick is to take a small(ish) nail and hammer four holes equally apart from each other (making a 'square' in the circle) on the inside gutter that holds the lid on and keeps the liquid from getting back in the can. These holes act as a drain allowing the varnish or whatever to run back in to the main can, but once you put the lid on, they are covered up by the rim and seal, so your stuff does not leak or dry out. Love your channel!

    Just a little minor improvement to the table clamps - add a slight high center to the wood so that you get a caul effect and as you tighten the clamps, the center will not lift...thanks!! you are hilarious!!
    unfortunately, I used the blood treatment on my table saw after 30 years!! fortunately, it was only the side of a finger and the end of my thumb!! they grow back!! PRO-TIP here: only allow the top of the blade to be above the wood you are cutting to be the amount you are willing to allow your thumb to ride on! yeah, it was stupid, but it only went in 1/8 of an inch!

  • @wildpat03
    @wildpat03 3 роки тому +4

    Very informative series, thanks a mil'! One of my best tricks is an ancient one. Get a bloc of hard soap, the best is the pure Savon de Marseille which looks like amber. Let it dry a couple of months and slice it about 3/4" thick. With that slice, rub the wooden sliders of your drawers if they are build the old fashion way, and rub the part of the drawer in contact with the sliders. It will act as a natural dry lubricant and your drawers will slide effortlessly without making a mess. It works also with old furniture.
    2nd trick with the same soap: rub it against the screws used in hard wood and they'll be much easier to screw in, especially in harder woods, and won't break or squeak. Same thing with wedges in tusk tenons & mortise joints.
    The main thing is to keep these slices as dry as possible, and the older the soap, the better it works.

    Another trick with the speed square you were using. Near the top edge is a small triangular hole with notches set at 1/4 inch intervals.
    These are handy if your board has a flat edge and you want to draw a straight line down the board, say for a notch, or a groove.
    You aling the flat edge, stick a penciled in one of the grooves, them drag the speed square down the board. Viola! Perfectly straight line.

    Thanks for the tips. Another tip for pouring stain or paint is to take a finish nail and put a whole in the bottom of the troth where the lid seals. That way when it fills while pouring it will just drain back down to the inside of the container. If you place the holes in the right location it does not affect the seal when placing the lid back on. Thanks

    @jmorton2585 3 роки тому +1

    Pop a hole or two on each side of paint can channel in the middle of handling using a screwdriver and hammer. This allows paint to drain on own inside channel and purge through for putting lid back on.
    Also take a sctoch pad with sand paper and fold them over together. The scotch pad grips the non-textured side of sandpaper, so that the paper can be folded to use in different sections handled easily.

    Funny and entertaining as always
    Your panel clamps can be upgraded a little bit. We use a similar setup for years at the shop with really great results, it must have a light bow in your pieces of wood like 1/8" or so from each end, so when you're clamping, pressure is applied first from the centre then to the ends, very effective.

    • @krperry2007

    Er, better still for panel clamps... Instead of F-clamps, simply use solid beams with simple holes drilled and threaded rod cut to lengths, with nuts, washers and a ratchet ring-spanner. A series of holes then makes the panel clamp adjustable for width. AND, with a slight taper in each direction from the centre, this enables the clamp/cauls to create increased pressure in the middle, for use when veneering. And all in one, dirt cheap.

    I've been woodworking for two years and I honestly never knew how to use the speed square to take advantage of the other marked angles. Thank you!

      You can also use them with a weighted string to measure a slope and to make a simple level.

    I poke holes in the groove of the can for the liquid to drain back in, then wipe with a paper towel

    Another easy way to remove stickers on wood is to keep mineral spirits in a spray bottle and spray the label...wait a sec and it will come right off. I use this a lot to remove templates I spray glue on to wood. On that note...keep mineral spirits in a spray bottle to spray and wipe material to remove dust before finishing or doing second coats. Also works to remove stain or oil/grease from hands.

    Installing drawer fronts option #4. These clamps are fantastic.
    [C Clamp, Heavy Duty C-Clamp 304 Stainless Steel Adjustable Cabinet Installation Clamps Cabinetry Clamps Tools Drill Hole Guide Design for Easy and Fast Installing Frame of Cabinets Drawer (2 Pack)]
    $19. Amazon. These are all I use now.
    The temptation is to over tighten, but completely unnecessary. 1/8" thick, so as soon as you see the metal flex they're clamped strong.
    Great video, crazy guy. Thank you :-)

      Also, a 1 day old beard is a good replacement for 80 grit sandpaper in a pinch. 2 day old for 120, etc. After a few weeks of beard sanding, you're ready to apply the finish.

      It's alright for him with his dense and even facial hair. If I tried that with my beard the finish will look like a hedgehog fell in the tin and was beaten to death with the board.

  • @warrenpeterson6065
    @warrenpeterson6065 3 роки тому

    Just found your channel and love it ... great tips. TBTY (Tip Back To You): Instead of playdough, punch holes in the rim groove of the can. Any paint or stain or what have you remaining in the groove will be forced back into the can when resealing instead of splattering outward. Tip #2: You can't paint latex paint directly over oil based paints without stripping, sanding, or sealing with expensive chemicals. But you can if you apply a scrape coat of drywall mud over the oil based paint first. It will not only serve as a bonding agent between the two types of paint but will also fill any imperfections in the original paint. Cheers.

    For the finish staying on the rim, a lot of painters will use a hammer to drive a nail through the rim to make a hole so that it'll drip back into the can.
