11 Viral Woodworking Tips & Tricks: Time To Level Up!

[@2tart]

I don’t comment much but I just want to say how much I appreciate your videos. A lot of alike channels, switched to do tool reviews, with a bunch of links in description when they got bigger audience. So thank you for not shoving tools 24/7 in our faces and keep giving us what we liked about your channel!!

[@Dan-ol2rd]

I couldn’t agree with this more, perhaps if their likes start to drop off they might post a build video once in a while. Love Matt’s channel and Facebook page!

[@skippylippy547]

I totally agree, 2tart. I am becoming irritated with channels that have turned into tool salesmen and have started unsubscribing from them.

[@johnhassan2074]

Me as well

[@JoeBokaie]

Looking at you 731 Woodworks 😅

[@HighlandCowWoodworking]

Ditto 😊

[@judyl.761]

Here’s a great tip for the pink foam board. Cut it in half or thirds or whatever, then tape one side with duct tape. It folds open and closed for easy storage. Works great.

[@skippylippy547]

Thank you judy. Great tip!

[@brodrick3164]

Typed out my comment and as I hit send I see this comment lol.

[@dianeewoldt3035]

I also did this and added tape to the outside edges to keep it from chipping off. The sheet folded in 3rds stores compactly in my small shop.

[@kennethomeara9848]

My wife showed me the tip with the level. Genius!

[@skippylippy547]

I thought that trick with the level was much better and faster than what I was using. Love that trickQ

[@brettd.cotten9987]

Your videos are great. I'm retired and am starting to sell woodworking. Your videos are inspirational and so helpful. Can't say thanks enough.

[@toonybrain]

Wow, what a great hack about the drill bit! Actually, I’ve appreciated every one of your tips. Thank you. I enjoy listening to your voice. 🙂

[@vernonbarbee1351]

KZbin notifications have been a bit inconsistent lately. Thanks for the videos! Very helpful and inspiring!👍

[@FounderOf4]

Toothpick Peech - That brad nail tip is awesome, cannot tell you how many times my heavy handed drilling snapped those small bits. Have a great Labor Day!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

I feel ya! Thank you and you as well.

[@peterdickason9147]

I swear brad nails are even stronger than those stupid drill bits. lol

[@icemanthemaker9223]

Toothpick. I have held off on the close cell foam due to the storage aspect of having it. Didn't even think about under the table! You learn something new everyday!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

👍

[@brodrick3164]

Cut and tape your foam accordion then unfold for use. Just don’t cut on a joint with the tape up.

[@christopherlord3441]

These are great practical tips. Thumbs up.

[@teddyt4989]

Toothpick. I always like to listen to your ideals. Your tips and tricks have saved me many headaches. If I could just remember them all! Thank you.

[@lordazrielxiii7731]

The drill cord knot is just a hangman's noose around the handle lol its genius and very useful

[@brookemaples8411]

Toothpick. I found your channel through your tips and tricks shorts. And have now watched every video. Thanks for keeping me inspired to keep on keepin on.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@1116Redneck]

Toothpicks are useful 👌. I really enjoy your series. I'm just starting my wood working adventures and this channel helps me way more than you know. Thank you for everything you post. Please keep it up.

[@RickInMaryland]

I love videos like this. Thanks for making it! Now excuse me while I go rewrap all my corded tools. 🙂

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

😂

[@clifblanchard4531]

Toothpick! Love you videos, I don’t feel like I am watching an infomercial for the most expensive tool there is like many other KZbinrs. Very helpful and I learned some new thing’s today.

[@pieteri.duplessis]

Great ideas, fun to watch, thank you.

[@normancarnahan4893]

Thanks for the clever tips and tricks for woodworking. When will you show us a Matthew Peech design for setting up a jigsaw table - to use instead of a bandsaw? Yes, there are several such designs on KZbin, but I think you have a particularly clever mindset for such designs.

[@lazygardens]

That bar stool! That's genius!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks!

[@daviddunagan4185]

Love these tips. Especially the way to wrap the cord around a drill.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Yes! Thank you!

[@JimE6243]

Toothpick Always enjoy your content. Especially the "Smalls". Thanks for taking the time. JimE

[@johnvesperman1530]

I learned the drill with a nail trick in jr. high wood shop. The nice thing is that they bend, rather than breaking, so I don't end up with part of a bit embedded in the wood.

[@EBE-13]

You sir have outdone yourself, best tips video I have seen in a long time.

[@fritzprints7182]

Wow! I could have, and will save a fortune on drill bits - thanks Matthew!

[@deanthompson3087]

Toothpick. A lot of little hacks become so common practice you forget everyone doesn't know them. So much wisdom comes from years of work! Thanks for always sharing yours.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Of course! Thanks for watching!

[@ginasmith3670]

Love your videos. Using the Brad nails is genius! I break the small drill bits all the time & have several of the Brad nails that’s loose when I don’t use the whole roll. Thank you for all the tips! I tell my customers about you all the time & tell them to look you up.

[@JohnnieFernandez-dd6fp]

Great video, following you in Cartago Costa Rica America, keep going my friend. Pura Vida !

[@stuartjones1982]

Dude! That Brad nail tip is insane! I'm so using that. The amount of times I break a bit when working on a jobsite and don't have time to go to the store. Absolute game changer thanks matt

[@TheNewJankyWorkshop]

Great tips - thanks for sharing man!

[@icemanthemaker9223]

Toothpick, barstools are a brilliant idea as well! Brilliant!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks!

[@alexreid4131]

Toothpick. Went straight to the shop to check that last tip and hot dang! Couldn’t believe it. Shows how uncurious I am ha ha. Never knew about that wee pokey thingy. That will definitely come in handy. Thanks Matt!

[@thomlindgren6253]

Toothpick would be my use of choice. Love all the tips. Thanks for sharing and have a safe and happy Labor Day!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

lol agreed. You as well.

[@mn7803]

Thanks for the helpful tips, Mathew!

[@theflickman]

Great Tips Matthew!

[@ruthannpadgett8323]

Toothpick. Love these tips. I have just discovered your channel. Gonna encourage our members to subscribe. A lot of information here!

[@quixoticjedi942]

Toothpick. That cord wrapping trick is awesome! And us machinists us that "pick" to layout marks for machining parts. You paint the part in a blue or red die so you can see your marks better for machining and center punching.

[@heatherholdren4490]

Toothpick! I love the close cell foam idea!! I never would've thunk it! S always, ty for your videos!!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Happy to help!

[@soujrnr]

One can never go wrong keeping an ample supply of painter's tape around! I use it for pert near all of my cuts, however I must admit that I haven't tried using it with the hole saw on my drill press. I need to try it and see what happens. I just did a project with a not-so-good hole saw, and it pert near wrecked the boards entirely. So, a new blade is first on the list, and then I'll try it with some painter's tape. I really enjoyed the brad nail trick for drilling a hole as well. Those tiny little bits break when you look at them cross-eyed, so this is a really neat idea as well. Thanks, Matt. Great stuff!

[@Txwag91]

Toothpick!! Awesome tips and tricks. You just saved me a lot of time and heartache on projects.

[@shoans3897]

Toothpick indeed! I ran to the hubby to tell him and he says “yeah I knew it was there, I didn’t think about a tooth pick though. Lol😅

[@scottsmith5095]

Toothpick. I always learn things from your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!!! My dad passed away a few years ago and I inherited all of his tools. I’ll be retiring in a couple of years and one of your videos popped up randomly. Because of that one video (and your channel), I’ve decided to start a side hustle to keep my mind busy in retirement. Maybe I’ll be able to earn a couple of bucks along the way too!!!

[@davidburris120]

1:48 I had one of those screwdrivers where the metal part pulls out of the handle and you can flip it so you have Phillips and flat head. Stuck it in my drill and now I had an extra long bit that worked perfectly.

[@AmyZweber]

Thank you, I'm a brand new wannabe wood worker and any tips are so helpful!!

[@mattedwards4533]

I am a retired contractor and used most of the tricks you showed. I didn't know how you wound up the cord on a drill nor the trick of useing styrofoam under work you need to cut. I am in my eighty and a little late to use them now! Nice video!

[@frankmarra7380]

I love woodworking and it would make my year to spend one day in your shop just to say i actually saw a great woodworker a work

[@slomo1562]

I was working at my father-in-law's last week and needed a 1/8" bit to pre drill some boards. I couldn't find his bits so I clipped the head off a 6d nail. It worked well enough for my purposes.

[@kenerickson4923]

Back in the day before nail guns, I used a lot of finish nails to put things together. I would chuck a finish nail in my drill to make pilot holes so the wood wouldn't split when I drove in the nail. Your tip on replacing a small bit reminded me of my old practice. Yes, I don't think I have any tiny drill bits that have not been broken off in a project. 😢

[@C_MR_WYld307]

Toothpick! Funny, I'm sure your dentist appreciates those extra grooves. I've been following your inspirational and motivational videos for years! Keep it up! When I finally make something that sells, I'll post it to the brag board.

[@donthornton2402]

Toothpick. Now I have to go get some barstools.

[@tombauer5762]

Toothpick. This are great tips! Love the brad nail one. I think I'm going to try it today and break a few intentionally, just because I've sent hundreds of regular 1/16" bits to the bit graveyard over the years and they might be getting lonely.

[@johnlocher5297]

Toothpick. Always enjoy helpful hints. Oftentimes I know the tips, or rather I knew them at one time, then kinda forgot. It's always fun to run through them again and enjoy learning them as if it's the first time.

[@lindacurtis-smith9835]

Toothpick! OHMIGOSH - I never knew about that. And thank you for the sandpaper square-up tip. I'm definitely going to get one of the Kreg-jig dog hole clamps. I'm forever trying to figure out how to clamp stuff down without the clamp getting in the way. Once again Matthew - thank you so very much for sharing your videos - they are very much appreciated!

[@rhooper4022]

Toothpick. Good video. Learned a couple of things. I really need to get back into the shop.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Good to hear!

[@markohm1949]

Thanks for the video. Big pink foam fan. I did not see the link anywhere for the Kreg clamp going through the work table.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Hey it’s in the description of those video. I’ll paste it here but not sure if it’ will be clickable. Kreg automax bench clamp amzn.to/4glJ4j5

[@markohm1949]

Thanks! I looked through the links and missed it. Looked on your Amazon page too. Lots of Kreg links 😂

[@rodgerwhobrey7544]

That toothpick trick is great. I pick my dentures with it all the time. Enjoy all your videos and yes I've learned tons of time saving tips.

[@skipanardoross6805]

Teethstick (there's a story behind it lol) Didn't know about the brad nail or cord tricks. I have that Kreg clamp and use it about the same way. Great content. Having thought about setting up a channel it occurred to me that it would be difficult to consistently come up with ideas for new content. So kudos for pressing forward. I know it isn't always easy.

[@rogerhughes-tq7fu]

Another great video. I learn something from all your videos. Thanks!!!

[@johngill5334]

Toothpick… I love your videos, they are instructive, informative and easy to replicate for the novice as well as a journeyman. Keep ‘em coming 👍🏼

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Awesome, thank you!

[@MissMolly3377]

I love the painter tape trick, for a clean edge. Thank you Matt.

[@Chaves_Novo_Quiz]

Great tips man.

[@skippylippy547]

Toothpick. Loved the tips! These are the kinds of things that make woodcraft much better and easier.

[@inthebay]

Toothpick…I just LOVE these tips!…& love your videos…keep them coming…👍

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you, will do!

[@amycyclenut]

Loved this!

[@robdewhirst7525]

That electrical cord wrap method is almost identical to rope whip knot, used on the ends of rope to keep them from fraying. Very cool that a method thousands of years old applies to modern tools too.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Great point!

[@r6f09]

Well done great advice

[@JillHenry-Simply]

Toothpick. Thanks, found your channel recently and am trying to get confident in the shop working with hubbies tools. Your tips are very helpful.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@guybowers9094]

"Toothpick" well these were some great tips and tricks. I started using the foam as a backer not too long ago, and I really like it. It makes a big difference

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

I does! Thanks for watching.

[@heidihein8662]

Toothpick. Any tips for removing the broken end of the drill bit - or brad nail if it breaks - from the wood? Love the bar-stool/painting table tip!

[@kellyblodgett3214]

Toothpick! Great hacks thanks for the video, I love your channel so much. Keep them coming 👻

[@awildandcrazyguy1]

Toothpick. Closed cell foam was a great tip as well as the brad nail drill bit...

[@rudispruell883]

Matthew, I keep catching a glimpse of your chop-saw hood, and I'd love to know more about it. Have you done a vid on it?

[@jeremyroberts4455]

I have that same black and decker drill...I bought it about 20yrs ago and still works great...and Ive really tried to burn it up a couple times....its like an old toyota truck without oil....itll keep runnin...lol

[@firstdibsuk450]

Toothpick Love the tips. Will be heading to my lock-up tomorrow hoping to find the scribe poking out of the handle that I have missed for the last 7 years 👍👍

[@bobwallace6812]

Thank you for the great video. I got a lot from it.

[@Tony-lo1ly]

great video with great tips

[@schuylerashton813]

That scribe also works well on hot rolled steel, puts a nice clean mark on the mill scale surface.

[@jerishull1860]

I've seen pipe couplers used to join pipes to make any length you need for clamps, as long as the little bump doesn't cause a problem.

[@judyl.761]

Great tips!

[@Kat-dx4ui]

Toothpick. Thank you for these videos. I've binge-watched/listened to your compilation vids for 3 days while woodworking in my shop. Have learned so much. I have a question about the half-tube/dome thingy covering the back end of your miter saw. Can you tell me what type of material it is? Thank you. =)

[@TeamHartley8485]

Those are all great ideas. How to you like the mini ductless hvac system? Is it difficult to keep clean while woodworking?

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

I like it. I just clean the filter out once a week and all has beem good so far.

[@MaddMaxxWoodWorks]

Toothpick. Thank you Mathew. Tips are always appreciated.

[@DoingitFitGrandmasWay]

This was awesome. That last one. Toothpick. Being new, I didn't understand what the point was of the level on a ruler. 😂😂😂 But now I know. Use it for a toothpick. Thank you for this really useful information. ❤

[@DJe1957]

Toothpick, thanks for a collection of good tips in an easy-to-follow format. And extra thanks for NOT SHOUTING ALL THE TIME!

[@WhiteyGraphics]

Toothpick, Sometimes the Mother of Necessity will yield some amazing ideas. Good show Matthew.

[@BusyDee]

Toothpick thanks again Matt! Always enjoyable and informative.

[@johnbauer3801]

I like the idea of your honesty, the way you do things, or make wood projects...where did you get the foam board that you used for cuting with the saw, can I buy the foam anywhere?

[@aaronlingenfelter1055]

Toothpick? I wouldn't have thought of that one. Nice!

[@joegutierrez4197]

TOOTHPICK Thanks Matthew! Another tip with your blue tape is to mask your wood before putting it in your laser when rastering. It gets rid of all those burn marks!! Blessings!!!

[@franceswright8277]

AWESOME! Thank you!

You are so welcome!
