This was an excellent video. And the time you took was quite obvious... lots of attention to details. Thank you!

These kind are great. A bit of work for a short video, but informative. Thank you and hope to see some like this from time to time.

Love this type of video from you , you have so much experience, anything you do will help others !

I enjoyed this new kind of “tutorial” video. It’s very helpful to someone who is thinking about starting to do some woodworking.

Yeah it saves hours of trial and error

Love this in-depth comparison! Helped me save so much time trying to figure out what plug method would work best for my project. Thank you!

Good showing of results. I think because cedar is so soft it might be one of the harder woods to hide a repair on. A good tapered face grain plug in a hole with a good edge is probably the closest you can get. I did enjoy seeing the other techniques like laquer sticks.

Thanks for taking the time to show all plugs and fills with stain and finish. Sometimes what you think is a good repair turns out to be horrible. Well done!

I love these kinds of videos! Even if they are just included in the middle of a build video of some kind. Thanks!

I admired that you used your father's supplies and tools. Thank you for your video.

Very straight forward and informative so even newbies like me can understand and learn! Thank you so much for this video!

Very helpful, Alain! I don't do much finishing per se, but when I do I try to use material from the actual damaged area, mixed with clear epoxy or CA-glue. As you pointed out, its difficult to get a perfect match but, for me, close enough is good enough. Thanks much!!

Videos like this are what make me think youtube still isn’t that bad of a platform. Seems like nearly every time I need to know how to do something theres a video for it. Thank you for your contribution to the information cluster that is KZread!

That was A nice change of pace I could definitely go for another episode like that.

I love tips videos and you always have cool methods. I have a lacquer stick and never knew what it was. I acquired it with some old tools from a yard sale. It's white so I'm sure dying it to match wood will be very easy to use on a variety of different types of woods. Thank you so much for your time. The time and dedication you put into your projects and videos are so inspiring. Thank you. I'd love to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve.

"this may not show but I worked over 10 hours to produce this video" LOVE YOUR SYSTEMATICALLY DONE VIDEO. You left no room for questions. So thorough! Keep doing this!!!

I like them, I would love to see some with the thought process behind using different joints/joinery methods.

I do like the tips! It's nice to learn from other wood workers on stuff like this!

I love the video. I like how you showed us all the different affects. Thanks so much. From california

KZread: When you want to find a way to fill plastic holes, but then the video on filling wood holes is much more exciting. This was wonderful, you are great on camera and have a nice way to be informative and yet, entertaining. I will definitely be coming back to this video for my next project! More please!

I admire your videos :) Years ago, when you were still in your basement workshop, I first discovered your videos, and my late mother loved them too :) Whenever I watch your videos I think of her and I get warmth in my heart. Thank you for all of your videos and stay amazing.

Thanks for the informative video. Please continue these types of videos.

I made a few "mistake" holes in some wood and was looking for some options on how to fill them. This definitely gave me some good ideas for what to do! Thanks for making this video so clear and easy to understand, with many different side-by-side examples. Plus, your way of talking and accent is quite charming and fun. Good work, thanks Alain!

Very interesting Alain. I have used many of your tips and "fixes" on my projects.

What a fantastic video. Thank you for spending the time to make it.

This is not just a tutorial, it is a university lesson. Excellent explanation, thank you.

Thanks for the video and the insights into wood repair. I enjoy these types of videos. Happy New Year.

Thanks 🙏🏼 for the video! So much good info , love your dad’s tools by the way

Thank you for the excellent tips and the plus/minus comparisons. Very helpful!

Great vid, taught me exactly what I needed. Thank you Alain

I enjoyed this video, sometimes seeing what not to do is equally as important!

Very cool tipps, I like it a lot. Especially all the tipps in here, thank you!

Great tips Alain, Thanks for sharing.

Another great video Alain!

Dear Alain, Ten hours for our benefit; it's much appreciated I am sure. The moral of the story if I may put it this way is: Get it right first time or don't make a pig's ear to begin with or words to that effect. You could equally have spent this time making a new project with mistakes ( intentional or otherwise) included with said remedial options, in which case you would have shot two birds with the same stone. All in all a very noble endeavour on your part. Kind regards.

Thank you. And yes the moral of this episode is: don't mess up, you might regret it. Miracles are in Vatican city not in our workshop. But I showed some ways to get around and hopefully it's not in a too much visible spot.

I am sure you could educate some of us during the making of one of your projects as you go along; you've done it to some degree in the past, I am sure you could carry as you normally do. It's always with fascination & informative to watch whatever you get up to. Kind Regards.

Thank you! The steaming trick was great.....and completely new to me!

I fixed a bad dent on my dining table with a helthy knot that I drilled of a board with a plug drill. It actully looks like a real knot on the table. The table is made from pine. Thank you for the reminder of the dent fix with water and ironing it. Had forgotten it.

Ingenious solution. But on a mahogany table top they're no knot, but to fix pine this is great thanks.

I enjoy ALL of your videos, this one is no exception. :) Cheers from quebec!

I think ceder is difficult compared to other denser and darker woods to do small "fix" on. Find plugs to be best option. Great video as always.

This was a great video! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Alain. I learnt something new from this video. Happy New Year....cheers!

Ive got 10 years in but always learning more. Thanks for the video!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

well… I liked this video :-) I watch to learn something, and monsieur, I learn from your videos :-) so keep them coming ;-) and merci

This is exactly what I wanted to see. Thx

Nice video by a genuine presenter. Merci!

Thankyou for this fantastic video. Seems like the only solution is to place screws between the grain and plug with the same material. That's what I needed to know and that's what I'll do.

It's not easy plugging a hole, like I showed, I'm glad I was a little help

Very practical demonstrations - thank you!

Thank you! Despite 40 years working with wood I'd never come across the trick for steaming out dents -- oh, the sanding I could've avoided had I but known!

@MapsAndCaps

You dont even have to steam. I just drip water on it, go sand something else and come back. Sometimes you have to do it twice but each time it swells the wood fibers up more and then a quick sand makes it practically disappear.

Hi Alain. I follow you from Italy, I do not know much English but as you explain, more or less I understand, I like your videos, this in particular, you learn more with these tips and techniques than with other types of video.

Great. Expertise and humility

Incredible. Thank you!

It was a fantastic test. I only use wood dust and glue for smaller repairs if the piece is not stained. The big holes I extend with a router bit into squares and then plug them.

Thank you for teaching

Great video! Thank you

I really enjoyed this video!

Alain, I've used some of those strategies on my projects. My favorite is to make plugs from the same wood, and when I place them, I turn the grain 90 degrees to the piece being repaired, so the plug SHOWS up ! That way it is a part of the job that was planned ! ;-)

Yes it's also most of the time my strategy, I even go a step further and use another species of wood, this really show it's part of the design and it looks less like a patch work...
