101 Woodworking Tips & Tricks

[@Snowpoet54]

You sir are amazing. True confession? In the first 2 or 3 seconds I hovered over the next video thinking, "too weird", but I couldn't...and I am sure glad I didn't leave. I can't wait to see more of your brilliant material. Thank you for your smart, relaxed way. It is what the world needs now....

[@clearpath100]

38 Years as a carpenter and joiner, I learnt a coupe handy tips, thanks for the lay back delivery of great information, a must watch KZbin presentation for anyone that works with wood or for someone that knows it all.

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@paulrichmond6903]

What a hoot! After 60 years building boats and working in wood, I still learned a couple things.

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@beauxtx1959]

I've been working wood for 25 years and I gotta say, that was out-STANDING!!!! Kudos.

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@tbradtbrad]

Thank you! I know this took you a lot of time to do. It is appreciated. I learned :)

[@wortheffort]

THE BEST WOODWORKING TEACHER EVER!!!!!!!!!

[@DishonAmbrose]

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen.

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@woodmadegood6108]

Watched it 3 times now over the months- worth it every time.

[@el1061]

LOL DUUUUDE YOU DROPPED A MEGA BOMB OF TIPS LOVED EM ALL THANX

[@velazquezguitars]

Additionally all tips are practical and correct! Sometimes we get stuck with too much technicalities. This video is a great refresh and entertainingly fun to watch!!!!

[@monicaolaru5228]

I think I'm in love. You're the most adorable and effective teacher on this site.

[@KAUZ1240]

Been wood working for almost 40 years. Learned quite a few things in this short video, plus it was fun. Great job!

[@wortheffort]

rotating the pencil... one most veterans don't know. right?

[@KAUZ1240]

About the only time I care about a really, really sharp point is when I'm laying out. I'm old school and do my layout on a stick (some call it a story board). Here a #4 pencil and some fine sand paper glued to a small paddle keep the point sharp sharp. Drawing a line 3/4" of an inch long doesn't give much time to rotate. One thing was the dust off in paint cans to replace the oxygen.

[@wortheffort]

ya, I thought most people would think the sharp pencil was a joke. I saw/chop to the sides of pencil lines so it really doesn't matter to me how fine it is. If I really need accuracy I use a knife.

[@KAUZ1240]

Agreed, but not for layout. For me once the piece is marked, it's leave the line take the line or split the line. It's harder than most would think to put the line on the piece exactly where you want it.

[@SpecificLove7]

Definitely earned my subscription

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@Diresties]

Awesome! I understood half, and from that half about a quarter was useful.. A treasure! Your the best teacher ever!

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@deckdriver]

Tip 102: when you start a project grab a tape measure, then only use that tape measure and only that tape measure for the whole project! They are all slightly different.

[@maplobats]

The problem is, every time I put the tape measure down, it vanishes until I give in and use a different one...then it reappears right where I swear I looked for it 5 times...

[@schechter01]

I see you are still at large, sensei. That's a relief. It's been a while & I'm not in Texas anymore, but haven't forgotten you. (I just wish I could recall everything you taught me in that all-too-brief time the school was brick-n-mortar.) Projects in the pipeline as always. *humble bow*

[@saturnn2230]

the things i watch at 5 am

[@realdenzity2144]

Not sure why, but I looked this video up right before I fell asleep 😂

[@Kr0n1kTh3Kl0wn]

Watching at 530am 3 years later...

[@jonathantillian6528]

"The parking lot is another word for 'shop annex'" Brother, around here the parking lot _is_ the shop. Love it!

[@kperellie]

Awesome! I get a kick from your sense of humor too.

[@johnxeveriano6839]

Wrong Sir! They are ALL gems! Thanks for posting this.

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@dachampguam5784]

"An extra piece of pizza" my favorite tip!!!!!

[@mynameissanjj1]

I saw the title and thought 101 tips and 17 minutes? I got to see this. And I'm glad I did. Thank you for sharing.

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@fiberinspector1304]

I agree, after #49 I have to subscribe

[@JukeboxJake]

fiberinspector, it took me a little while to find 49 again, and I agree.

[@bobbg9041]

Only if he had Said Bacon!

[@bobbg9041]

Tip using youtube or any video for that fact on the computer you can grab the red line at the bottom and fastford or rewind and you don't have to return it to blockbuster. No late fees.

[@harrykubarek4150]

Thanks for the top tips there very helpful. Cheers Tim from Wood 4 Nothing

[@TheKylebrophy]

dude, i cant believe i didnt think of using wax. im always fighting the friction on my router table and it shows in my work. i owe you a sincere thank you for this video.

[@wortheffort]

wax... it's all good.

[@BDM_PT]

Hi there from Portugal, Nice Tips :D Obrigado(Thanks)

[@christophertinsley3269]

By far one of my favorite wood workers on KZbin!!

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@ksross08]

Absolutely hilarious (and informative). Definitely subscribed and looking forward to future videos!!!

[@kurtgellert9166]

God bless people with personality on camera! Well done video!

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@rustyb.1301]

Tip #102: wear a dust mask when in the wood shop. I've heard of old carpenters ending up with emphysema from breathing in all that dust over the years.

[@utubeape]

especially with hardwood or boards with glue sych as MDF or ply

[@peterfenwick2540]

I subscribed. You are helping to remove the what ifs and that is brilliant. Plus, what a refreshing way of presenting! didn't have to watch 5 mins of sawing.

[@ruthlesssenshi6200]

it is always worth the effort to learn. also, you'll never master woodworking, it's an art. Screwing up every now and then is just another way of learning.

[@davidazinger5639]

I like tip number 90. This guy hAs got the gift of woodworking. Wow. Great instruction.

[@saltyd2137]

It was corny but there were some helpful tips🙂

[@TheBlakemt]

Wasn’t corny it was funny. This guy rocks.

[@djeieakekseki2058]

Les K funny

[@stuartosborne6263]

Great video as always Shaun. Here’s a tip for you, to remove permanent marker scribble over it with whiteboard marker and simply wipe off.

[@ryanschrey6601]

Thanks Man!

[@spyderlive]

CONGRATS! I looked at this Video in ANTARCTICA weeks ago, There, in the long winter days and nights (no sunlight) I spent time in our warehouse/factory underground woodworking.

[@Thom4123]

Nicely done. Great information thank you for sharing.

[@bryansimon7964]

[@marenessebadiana3481]

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to learn about woodworking projects from try Stiklind Wood Blueprints Fixer (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my neighbor got excellent results with it.

[@cristinakuptzin-johnson4293]

[@wortheffort]

[@Doyledidit]

The best 17 minutes in a long time, your the best!

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@diarmidhart40]

Great stuff but I think George de Mestral, Swiss electrical engineer, would be a bit peed off at NASA claiming they invented Velcro.

[@utubeape]

they were just trying to explain where a few million $ went

[@BinaryFortress13]

man, i'm a wood noob myself.... your video here was really informative....i subscribed... thanks

[@juansoria190]

[@jojo22183]

I really enjoyed this thank you! I am a raw beginner and sometimes get frustrated with flops and bad angles and mistakes. This video shows me even experienced guys like you can have fun with it.

[@COLDROLD73]

I tried using the chopstick to clean my ears and now I cant hear my wife NAG!

[@deckdriver]

And as absorb-all when you spill oil on the concrete when you change the oil in the wife's car so you can save up money for the next project!

[@derekoldham5136]

I like this guy. Very good narrator to make it fun and smart about woodworking

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@BraxtlyTools]

I love this! Thanks for sharing! Although, adding a template tool to those tips could illustrate some time saving. Just sayin. Emmy Braxtly

[@wortheffort]

Good suggestion. Might already be in works. :)

[@panagea2007]

To date this is my favorite how-to woodworking video.

[@TNtoolman]

Switch to decaf...

[@wortheffort]

Have you seen my figure... it aint caffine, it's sugar.

[@joshcrawford4076]

Porsche924Tim 😂😂

[@omcasanova]

Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks. I learned something or two today. Had me at tape on the drill bit. 😃👍

[@bongan]

Ok, so I'm back after watching the complete video... Fucking Awesome! So i'm not a woodworking geek, but I'm getting there, one corny woodworking lesson at a time. ;)

Too bad you're not going to school to improve your grammer, filthy mouth!

[@michellewilson3915]

#49 "an extra slice of pizza makes your body clamps more efficient"...had to pause the video I was laughing so hard! Excellent tips! Definitely going to use some!

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@wjombat]

A step up in video quality.

[@shaynesabala]

New subscriber. I will end up watching this video probably 5,6 times. There was so much good information in it and some information that is ahead of my experience. I will be checking out your channel soon. Thanks brother.

[@stevenmason1674]

Excellent tips. However, don't thank NASA, thank George de Mestral ;-)

[@vinhhoach1854]

i love that you add humor to it.... very fun to watch....

[@wortheffort]

I added humor?

[@wolfieandweasel7129]

seriously, thanks bro. loved it! subscribed.

[@missbrooke6081]

Thank you! How thoughtful of you to share your knowledge. I appreciate it! & well presented, too! I live in a tiny space, made possible by wheels & casters (under everything!) But never again will my drill clutter up my tiny workspace. It's new home is neatly suspended, above me! I prefer wood skewers over chop sticks, but we're on the same page! My most versatile tool, endless uses! To the viewers: •SIMPLE GREEN. (If u don't love it, you haven't tried it.) •Magnets people! •Tap tap tap •& wax WAX wax! (Paraffin wax -find it in the baking aisle)

[@Alles-Is-Natuurkunde]

I learned somethings

[@leighstevens1075]

Whatever you're on...Stop it! 😂My brain couldn't keep up. Great tips, (especially for a novice like myself);, first 2 im using today...the wax AND the tape on the drill bit. Love that it sweeps the dust out if the way. Why is it that many things are soooooo obvious ( as soon as someone else tells you). Thank you thoroughly enjoyed it. Going to lie down to recover before heading back to setting up my workshop hehehe

[@wortheffort]

sugar is evil

[@utubeape]

awesome vid. always use a thick rubber mat or upturned carpet on the floor when working with chisels to protect the edge if you drop it

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@TheClintmeister]

Doesn’t the wax interfere with staining the wood later? And putting poly on?

[@wortheffort]

No

[@robertbrunston5406]

I like your shop! All the wood looks cool! Thanks.

Thanks, construction lumber is cheap.
