3 Wood working Tricks / Tips..

[@wty1313]

For those wondering about the blunt nail. My dad was a carpenter for 40 years and taught me that trick when I was a kid. According to him it works by crushing just enough fibers ahead of the nail as it drives through rather than completely splitting all the fibers outward so the wood has LESS of a chance to split. It works most of the time but not 100% of the time. Dad taught me a lot before he passed away a few years ago.

I've been a carpenter for a long time and dulling the tip of the nail really does work that well. It's not a trick many people know. Also tool oil on a screw helps the same way soap does. That's usually what's more readily accessible to me on a job site. Thanks for the great videos!

You don't have to flatten the tip of the nail. Look closely at the point of a nail two sides are smooth and 2 sides are Sharp. When you bang the nail into the wood make sure the sharp sides of the nail Point are cross grain and they will cut the fibres instead of splitting them. Also you can use soap as a lubricant for sliding wooden drawers Etc

I like how he hangs wood over edge on first video, then does it with solid surface underneath it

[@PANTA-Music]

Exactly. Also he was hitting the first nail harder, which also makes his point invalid. Best thing is not taking a gamble and pre drill a tiny hole before using a nail or screw.

[@Jgnzlz7878]

Try it. It works . When you hit the tip of the nail like that it doesn't split the wood. Im not sure how it works but it does.

[@overthinker1844]

Blunting the end of a nail does definitely helps, I've used that technique for years. He made sure the first one would split by hanging it over the edge of a raised radius edge. He probably would have split the board if he had done second blunted nail the same way. Let me say it again the blunting end of the nail is pretty good technique that I've used for years. I like the suggestion of making sure you line the x point of the nail isn't lined up to encourage the splitting. My favorite technique if time is provided, is take one of you're new straight nails cut the head off and chuck it in a drill and pre-drill a hole in the board. Make sure you support the board flat down on another piece wood. If you hold the board in your hand you can split using this technique. It takes extra force to use a nail to drill holes in wood. Make sure the nail your using is straight and doesn't wobble in the drill chuck.

[@davidnbrenmorgan5042]

When I was an apprentice carpenter over 50 years ago we,we're taught to stand the head of the nail on something solid, such as concrete or steel, and tap the pointed end of the nail and flatten it, not too much, the nail will then cut through the timber. This only really works on softwoods such as pinus radiata, you need to drill a pilot hole for hardwoods and hard softwoods. Please note that not all softwoods are soft and not all hardwoods are hard.

Use bees wax instead of soap. I had been taught that soaps are hydrophilic and will pull moisture out of the wood next to the screw causing rust and corrosion.

What about using candle, instead?..

The second nail isn't hammered in as far as the first, and is done over the hard surface. The second screw goes into the softer lighter coloured wood. Just use a drill one size up.

[@themiddlepath8939]

That trick does still work though.

[@JCPRuckus]

Blunting the nail is what made the difference. Instead of pushing the grain apart and causing a split it tears through the wood fibers. Source: I'm a union carpenter since '07. Edit: Also, don't predrill for nails. They hold in via friction. If you remove material you remove friction. Conversely, yes, you should predrill screws to the size of the shaft. The threads do all of the work, so you don't need the friction of displaced material.

[@jutub3662]

Ye, you can also see that the second nail also made this pece of wood crack ;) Personally i just use thinner nails for small pices of wood... Edit: *for thin pices of wood

[@JCPRuckus]

@@jutub3662 - That's not how it works. There are different nails for different jobs, and a correct size of nail depending on the thickness of wood that you are nailing through. If you choose the wrong size fastener, you risk your piece falling apart and hurting someone during use.

[@jutub3662]

​@@JCPRuckus Well, i am hobby-carpenter for few years, and i have made many different things out of wood- from furniture to carved spoons . I just wanted to sed that in this particular example, i would use thinner nail, "small" wasnt acurate word indeed, i should have written "thinner pices of wood" ;) Maybe the method showed on video really works, i have never tryed it, since my nails cause cracks in the wood extremely rarely :D

[@princessleiaorgana7238]

Maybe add some commentary behind how and why this works. I was confused about the point of some of the techniques.

[@minimonkaloyd]

1) Blunting the nail causes the tip to tear through the wood, instead of utilizing the full affect of the 4-sided wedge that is a nail tip. With the advent of inexpensive nail guns, this technique is not used nearly as much as it was in, say, 1975? Pay attention, though, to the direction of the chisel on the string of nails/brads you're using, or you can still split the end of a board; only more quickly and with a satisfying 'ca-chunk'. 2) The soap lubricates the screw so as to make twisting it directly into the walnut board go somewhat easier. And removal is easier as well. 1st- bad choice of screw. Those bugle headed sheetrock screws are very prone to popping the heads off, perhaps due to the double-thread design; the screw goes in more quickly, but provides much less pulling power compared to a regular single thread type screw. Use the right screw to start with. 2nd, I don't install screws without providing a tapered countersunk pilot hole. IDK what it is about being a cabinetmaker for 40 years that causes one to do things right the first time. It just does. 3) using a rolled up piece of abrasive paper to enlarge a too-small hole. If you have only the one hole to correct, this is a solution, but you can easily make the hole too big and end up with a sloppy fit. Here's an idea- use some calipers to measure the machine bolt before you drill a single hole, and then choose the best sized drill bit to accomodate the bolt? And make that first hole in a piece of scrap to test fit it? Just a suggestion...

“Look, the hole is round.” [Drills with sand paper] “Now it’s not round!!!” Not a bad idea otherwise.

[@Bags2723]

Pre-drilling your holes will prevent splitting and sink screw heads every time. Also if you used a slightly larger bit for the bolt hole then you wouldn't have to roll up a piece of sandpaper and jam it in your drill to reem it out. Lmao! No tips here, just poor workmanship.

[@pete4405]

And yet you watched the entire video from start to end. lol

[@Bags2723]

Peter Marmo Yeah, hoping I'd actually see some tips. Go figure.

[@bowlchamps37]

Those are old tips. You flatten the tip if you dont want the wood to split. You will obviously pre-drill them if you have plenty of nails to hammer. But when I forgot my drill, I flattened nails too. It works. He just should´ve nailed both on flat. The bit hole is maybe also just a tip if you do not have a bigger drill available.

Just make sure the drill bit has smaller diameter than the nail otherways the nail wont hold in place. Edit: You can do this with the screw too.

Pre_drilling is better for sure. and just drill the right size hole for the bolts.

[@brokensword8402]

I just started woodworking so forgive my ignorance. I almost feel like these tips are more like hacks in a jam (e.g. missing the correct bit size or tool). Before each one I thought (1) Pilot hole (2) pilot hole or self tapping screws (3) Larger pilot hole or maybe a long sand bit on a dremmel tool (if those exist). The last one def made me think quick hack because (again forgive my ignorance), I felt like any chuck subjected to holding sand paper regularly would lose the edge grip (and subsequent torque) that holds bits firmly. You might be better to also place a small bit in the roll to make the sand paper more firm (against the chuck wall?) and less prone to moving and inadvertently sanding the inside of the chuck.

[@rickhinojosa5455]

brokensword8402 Hi. The part where he pounded the point of the nail is a good old method to avoid splitting wood as you nail it. . But you don't have to hit it six times. Just one or two quick taps flattens the point and prevents it from splitting the wood usually. This is important to do for dry wood espevially. The soap one was interesting, as opposed to predrilling. The sandpaper one I never saw before but I thought it was pretty good. I've done a lot of woodworking, well, I was a handyman actually. That flattening of the nail point is one I needed to use many times. 🙏
