This showed up in the algorithm after years of woodworking. A love letter indeed, thank you to everyone involved and the trees whom we care for😘
Happy 10 year anniversary. Still one of the best videos on the 'tubes.
Such an artistic way of educating people. Thank you Tom
How does this incredible masterpiece of a video only have a couple hundred thousand views after 10 years? I'm ranking this as one of the most under-rated and highly educational videos that I've seen on interwebs. I followed Casey years ago and have been making my way through Van's video collection. I now feel like I've found the next level - the grand master -and now see my previously watched videos with a clean pair of eyes, and a 2:1 ratio.

Because anyone who works with plywood knows all this basic stuff already and people who don’t could care less. This seems like a introductory segment for a documentary or tv episode. Kind of a let down at the end of the video
I love this video just as much as I did when I watched it the first time!
Found the beauty of plywood when I built my first work bench and then was it that I learned the types of woods. And Plywood is my lover now. Bench came out beautiful.
Bringing the sacred back into the work space. Definitely something magical about these videos :)
never would have thought a video about plywood would touch me so deeply to the core. now i feel like ive taken it for granted. i love the stuff, and always have a couple extra 2'x4' sheets around my workshop for spontaneous projects.
I'm not sure why I watched this video. I really enjoyed it♥ Thank you.
i was never interested in plywood in my life before but not gonna lie this video is f****ing captivating!
I like how yt recommends this gem a good decade later, but i'm not mad. (torx > phillips)

Torx bits are practically life-changing. As a kid I remember hating how often I would strip out the heads of screws from shitty technique but torx is so much harder to mess up.

thank you for sharing your passion
I love this video. Thank you.
I needed this knowledge and confidence with tools in my life. Many thanks ❤
I don't understand what I saw, but I found it beautiful.
The Philips head screw is the joker of all building materials.
Proper definition of True Art.
I need a master like mr. Sach's, to become a better filmaker like the Neistats

How do you achieve the shiny, compacted plywood edge seen in so many of your plywood uses? Sanding? Burnishing? Poly?
Love it!!!!
this was the best
That was not an orbital sander
Never in my life have I had a single thought about plywood. But here I am thanks to the almighty algorithm and it has been a journey.
Beautiful
Gr8 video!!very Van Neistat
I never knew others had the same passion for plywood as me! 😊
My god this is brilliant film making
This is very very artistic thanks for the lesson
Bravo!!!
Alignment with the center of the earth...in perfect posture.
thank you
A lovely film
Really cool video!
now I know he would teach everything to Neistats to make a good movie.
Great video
The first time I visited LA, I was amazed to be seeing the famous PLYWOOD sign
"You can feel it"
How come I've only just found this channel?!?!
Actually a very useful video about the practicalities of working with plywood.
I love the video
you're my hero
really looking forward to the tom sachs summer camp video about how to make a youtube video
I’m in love
For the first half of the video I thought it was well shot and when Van started talking all the shit and style choices just made sense
I never skip that pre drilling!!
This was cool.

Wonderful video. Sensuous.
This is great, but my problem is that I don't know how to operate doors. Also, can you do a video on how to charge my cordless drill? I hope to learn how to sweep.

It was an education, thank you 😄
Gives me Wes Anderson vibes 👌🏽
This is very tasty, thank you! (If it is possible could you add team and used music credits to info pls)
Me too. And I strongly recommend AvE, a friend of Mr. Sachs, who has an outrageously funny but educational product engineering review & teardown YT channel.

This is an Arthouse movie about the birth and journey of Ply Wood.
ok gotcha! that makes sense
Back in the days when you didn’t need to be a millionaire to afford plywood
ooo nice....art, and craft (nb not "arts and crafts")... love it
If anyone wants to avoid cam out then avoid Philips head screws. From what I've read they were designed to cam out to avoid over tightening. Use Robertson (square) or torx. I can hang my impact driver from the ceiling from a Robertson screw. That's not likely to happen with even the best fitting Philips.
this video is fucking awesome
Poetry. The only realm of literature which causes you to learn things about plywood. ... I don't know either.
Plywood is a delicious looking sandwich. Yes sir! This was freakin beautiful
Educational.
3/4" ACX 4X8...$36.95. What a time that was.
Love the segment on 'cam-out'. For safety sake, I would lose the tie when anywhere near the table saw. Actually, I would lose the tie the minute I enter the studio.
Van Neistat is bringing me to strange places at 3am ... plywood... ok
❤
I used to hate plywood. now I love her.
I've never realized the simple beauty of plywood. Which is terrible, my dad was a carpenter and I love to skateboard... Cheers.
the irony is tow levels beyond me. its like a flatlander peering into the third dimension
Late as usual. Best art film I've seen in a while. And...... the sweet, sweet sound of a PM66. I'll never not know that sound.
There are extra scenes in this one. :]

You can still get camout if you use a standard philips driver with a JIS screw and vica verca

Avoiding camout has more to do with proper technique and focus than with the flavor of drive.
I feel like a thumbs up is not sufficient.
Interesting video, and good stuff for beginners. I too love plywood, though it sure seems to be getting expensive these days! I also like the driving power of the Robertson (square) head over Phillips, but few hardware stores carry the square head. The only thing I would have added about Phillip head drivers is that worn bits won't properly grab the screw either. Anyway, my 2 cents. Thanks for shooting and posting this video!

@@PiLLO360 torx head driver bits have much better engagement with the screw head. They rarely slip and strip out the heads like a Phillips does. They also seem to slip much less that a Robertson (square) bit does....like whenever I'm doing Kreig pocket screws. Wish those things were Torx.
One word: Van
3/4 " $75 a sheet at Home Depot which is not even 3/4....it's 23/32.. You don't have a riving knife on your table saw making it very dangerous for a kickback event, or a small piece of plywood to ride up over the blade pulling your hand into it. Philips bits by original design are made to cam out. They were used for metals. Their use in woodworking is an anachronism. Use GRK T-25 Torx screws. They almost never cam out.
