@@susannebrunberg4174 Carpentry is one of the most satisfying jobs, and in my case, hobbies I know, and yes we all have to learn. But you will NOT learn if the people in these vids are teaching you poorly. One was even demonstrated to be poor on the second "correct" attempt. (nailing close to end grain) 1. A pilot hole should be close to the internal diameter of the screw thread if you are screwing into wood. There is very little control of the screw in the video. Depending on the purpose of the piece it is sometimes better to drill a complete clearance hole for the screw. Soap is ok for lubrication but a SMALL dip of the top portion of the screw thread into clean axle grease is less wasteful. 2. The hidden screw "hinge flap" technique is brilliant and not really a secret; but remember, it may not always be an appropriate technique, you may, at sometime, want to know where the screw is for dismantling an item should the need arise, for whatever reason. Using a larger drill bit to create clearance for a screw head can, sometimes, "grab" the grain and go deeper than intended. Countersink bits are inexpensive and a good tool to own. A good one will do metal as well as wood for a good 3.The end-grain split STILL occured because, as some comments have pointed out, the pilot hole was on the small size and he should have "blunted" the nail before driving it home. I have no idea if you plan a career in woodwork or, like me, enjoy it just as a satisfying practical hobby but I wish you all the best and enjoyment of the lovely emotions you will experience when you stand back and admire a job you have done well.

1. Finish your screws by hand and never let the drill jump on the head. 2. Always insinuate a piece of scrap wood between the clamp and the wood so that you don't dent the wood. 3. Wipe away the excess glue before clamping it together or you may end up with the two pieces glued together.

A good way to prevent two boards that you are clamping together from sticking together should some glue ooze out is to put a piece of parchment paper used in cooking in between the two boards. That will prevent them from sticking togeter and the paper won’t stick either.

@arthurrsaker8893

2 жыл бұрын

Cut the end of the nail clean off. This will leave a crude chisel edge on the end which will sever the wood fibres as it is hammered in. An untrimmed nail with its point intact acts as a wedge which is why it will split the board if too close to the end. Sometimes it is possible to nail down a board and then cut it to length when nailing is complete.U seful when working close to the end of a board. If you have to nail near the cut end of the board, your best chance of a good fix, is to drill a pilot hole and lube the nail. Soap, candle wax, vaseline, a smear of grease, neutral shoe polish, or nick a dip of your wife's moisturiser cream any of those will work. And a bonus is that it is kinder to your drill driver and its battery,if instead of nailing, you decide to use a woodscrew to make the fix.

Drilling a pilot hole and or holding down firmly on the drill would have accomplished the same thing. I do like your idea for hiding the head of a screw I'll have to try that one.

rather than using a bit to predrill the nail hole. use the nail itself in the drill chuck. i found it works especially well on harder woods with wide grains that are prone to splitting like oak. saves time finding a drill bit and ensures the hole is the exact dimensions of the nail.

You can also use candle wax. Paraffin is a great liquid lubricant when sheared. If I am doing a large number of screws I melt some wax and dip the screws right into the wax. After it cools you can screw it right into the wood or predrilled holes. There is almost no resistance and no striped screws.

You can also turn the nail upside down and hit it a bit into the wood, this creates a hole for the heads to go and also blunts the point of the nail so it doesn't split the wood. Instead it punches through and you get the same result, I would pre drill the hole though as well

Counter sink bit will still leave the screw exposed. Number two was the win, the others not so much.

My father thought me the same he was a great carpenter he made our wooden cars when we were little kids, Love my father.

Trick #2 was very cool.. I've never seen that before.. looks like it might require some practice..

Old school carpentry

Interesting video for the DIY person. However, I've never seen nor known a carpenter with so much rust on his chisels!

It helps to get the right bit for the screw and upgrade from that black and decker drill 😳

Just get the right driver bit for the screw and keep cordless firm and vertical on it

soap works really well, but only use it if you want the screw to rust in solidly, we used to use it on door hinges.

Melhor usar cera de velas, o sabão depois de algum tempo vai oxidar o parafuso e se precisar retirar, já era!

I just stick to using Robertson screws up here in Canada! Never have that problem in the first place. Philips heads screws are garbage by design.

A dica 1 deixa o parafuso enferrujado e depois simplesmente não sairá. As dicas 2 e 3 são muito boas.

2000 шт сначало в мыло, а потом в доску))). Ну, ну.

Большое спасибо, крутое видео. Я поставил лайк и подписался на ваш канал.

I really liked the look of the hidden screw, buthow useful is it? In the video the screw does not join any wood. Having to clamp the piece together with a similar piece of wood is probably impractical in most situations when the screw is joining two pieces of wood. In those cases and with so much work to hide the screw wouldn't wooden dowel joinery be better?

I thought it odd he didn't demonstrate a use for it practically. But I was thinking you could replace the screw with a small magnet, and then use it in the frame of a cabinet door with another magnet inside the cabinet proper. You can have magnetic cabinet doors without seeing the magnets!

Another tip not in this video..before clamping those two pieces, put a piece of wax paper between the pieces..keeps glue from trying to bond with the other piece..

What do you mean it wasn't joining two pieces of wood I don't think that was the point. This was supposed to be a demonstration not a project

I guess it's for demonstration only. You could hide anything what you want, even your money if you mistrust your bank.

Soap and wax bars are great but, no replacement for pre-drilling. Save the time and hassle. Dulling the tip of a nail also prevents the wedging apart (cracking) of wood when nailing. Doing both is bullet proof. Hiding the screw under a layer of the board is a brilliant idea. Thanks!

Hiding the screw under a layer of the board is NOT a brilliant idea. Five times out of ten you'll chip or flake off the layer of wood you're trying to lift, especially if the wood is dry, and especially if the grain doesn't lay just right. Don't believe me - try it yourself ... Use dowel - it's quicker, and far stronger (me, a carpenter of 40 yrs).

THANKS FOR REALLY GOOD CARPENTRY TIPS !!! Try this...turn the nail up-side-down with the head on something hard, and hit the point of the nail and blunt it. Then turn it around right and drive it in and it won't split, (unless it's so close to the edge, only a pilot hole will suffice.

The soap trick is ancient,but almost magical as far as how much screwing effort is reduced. You could just cut the tip off the nail,and that would prevent splitting just as well as drilling a pilot hole. That is why old hand made nails had square tips.

I wasted 44 soaps to drill around 50 nails. Totally worth it and cost effective

My dad taught me the soap one and also drilling pilot holes before nailing. Both can save a lot of grief! The middle one was cool, but does take some patience and skill. Good ideas.

hitting the tip of the nail with your hammer so the point is blunted will lessen the chances of wood splitting. But you really should pre-drill.

The best trick is the hidden screw. That said, I know of few carpenters that ever need to use that one, including myself. I'm not just a carpenter, but also a cabinet and furniture designer and builder. Certain tricks I know help to not even need these tricks at all. If you had left the two boards clamped together more than ten minutes (like an hour or so), you'd have a hard time separating them. Wood glue is a particularly strong bonding agent for wood, being stronger than the wood itself. I have used it to repair split wood by just gluing it back together, and clamping it until it has cured. After the repair has cured I use sandpaper to make it appear as though it was never split at all. Now to call you out on one thing you did in this video that you should never do; sanding across the grain. If you leave it like that you defeat the purpose of your hidden screw. Always sand with the grain.

He could of used wax paper so it wouldn't stick. And you correct about the sanding. 👍

beautifully it turns out you have with one screw. and the code needs to work on a large volume or areas?

Это работа не плотник, а столяра. Разница есть, поверьте.

If you use a metal clamp,with lost plastic cover, then use at least a (good flat) piece of scrap wood; or do you prefer clamp marks on good work?

Thank you so much... I loved it! I am not a professional carpenter, so these tips are fantastic to show me (and others like me) how NOT to ruin expensive materials we are using for projects.

I'm a carpenter and I want everyone to know about it!

Trick #2. I'd put a thin piece of plastic, like packing tape, between the wood before clamping, to keep from ripping off the small piece you glued back down.

My question. He put a screw into a board, glued the chiseled piece down and clamped. ( i didn't see the tip when he finished sanding,did you?) How does he attach it now? Haha, i know, example, but if he screwed it into something, then how can he clamp it because probably no room.

Super! Danke!

Neat job with the chisel.
