I really like the Trend snappy plug cutters, they have an open design with four teeth instead of those tube shape plug cutters, and I've used them free hand. Some of the plugs I cut weren't good enough to use but I would think they would all come out perfectly with a jig. Also it's really worth having a Japanese pull saw to help with cutting the plugs out of the block they're cut from as well as cutting them flush.
Yes of course, you'd just need a filler that can work to that depth and it'd either need to colour match, or you could paint over. The reason for plugs is often to match the existing timber. Best of luck with it.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE thanks for the reply! yes i’m building a pergola which i’ll be screwing crossmembers to which I want the screws hidden - so i’ll wood fill and then the client is painting the pergola black anyway, so that’s cool, thanks!
No real advantage, plugs just look nicer in my opinion. Also, not all wood filler will stain to the same colour as the wood, so if you were trying to hide the holes with a wood finish, then plugs are better. If you painting the wood in a colour then there's no advantage. Thanks for watching!
Thank you, excellent amateur DIY video 👍

Great advice Andrew thanks for the tips. I'll be doing a review of the plug cutters soon. Thanks for watching!
A really fantastic job you did here. I'm new to woodworking, and even I understand this fully.
Thanks for the comment and good luck with the new hobby!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to give it a go
Hope you enjoy!
Good vídeo. Good idea to use that template.
do you think rather than cutting plugs, you could simply fill over the top of the screwhead with wood filler?
Yes of course, you'd just need a filler that can work to that depth and it'd either need to colour match, or you could paint over. The reason for plugs is often to match the existing timber. Best of luck with it.

Awesome vid, thanks! Would there be an advantage of using wooden plugs over wood filler?
No real advantage, plugs just look nicer in my opinion. Also, not all wood filler will stain to the same colour as the wood, so if you were trying to hide the holes with a wood finish, then plugs are better. If you painting the wood in a colour then there's no advantage. Thanks for watching!
