Just found you today, I teach woodworking to Students in the carribean, I will link all of them to your channel as its very informative. Thank you. Subbed.

[@jamesreed5186]

I am interested in Titebond 3 giveaway.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

C.W P, thank you. I’m very honored!

[@Pilski]

VERY informative and presented greatly. If I learned as much from every other YT video, I'd be a great woodworker, indeed. IF I m lucky to be a winner, l'd like the epoxy with the dispensers.

[@shawnvanetten4662]

is there a clue you can use in steaming applications?

[@michaelwhitchurch4376]

I very much appreciate your Woodworking 101 Lessons... I recently retired and now setting up my dream shop in my 2 car garage. I have purchased new the whole works with regard to 'machines'; jointer, planer, table saw, dust collection, band saw, etc. I already had a few machines that were less than 'shop' worthy :-) Since I am an 'older' woodworker just setting up shop I purchased my 'life long' equipment. My dream, link many of us, began in 9th grade woodshop... and then along comes 'life'. Now I am able to enjoy after working 40 years toward this opportunity ! I especially like your in-depth lessons on topics, recently "glue"... my nature is to know how and why things work ! Along with quality and focus on the end product. I will be a faithful viewer of your channel as I dive into my new shop ! Also it is great that you have brought your family into your passion for woodworking, what a wonderful legacy to pass on ! Since I am just beginning my new shop I of course would put to use ALL of the glues you spoke of in this lesson... but I would not be that selfish or presumptuous to ask for [or would I :-) ]... So narrowing it down to one I would be most interested in the Epoxies followed by the Tight Bond products... Thanks again for you 'Lessons' and I look forward to advancing my skills in my new dream shop !

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Michael. Thank you for commenting!

[@gerrysmith4250]

This is without a doubt the best technical education seminar I've heard in my working career; technical information given to support the presentation at the layman level and written detail provided for those that want/need verifiable source data. Gerry Smith (retired) Houston

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Gerry, Thank you!

[@pemtax557]

Hi James, I've been a follower of your channel since I ventured into woodworking upon my retirement a couple of years ago. I felt compelled to thank you for the fine service you provide this wonderful community of woodworkers. The knowledge, experience and talent you and your lovely family bring to this community are vast and extremely valuable. I fully understand the time and effort it takes to produce a single video for our consumption and when I look at the catalogue of topics you've tackled to share it's easy to be impressed. It's individuals like yourself that make this community one that is healthy and thriving even when our economy is not. Thank you so much for your dedication and love of this artform and sharing what information you can for our benefit. Cheers my friend and God bless you and your beautiful family.

[@Burntbranchcreekbees]

You may never see this comment James due to the length of time between making the video and now, but seeing your family at the end of the video and how happy they are provided me with one giant smile and a moment of joy. Thank you brother.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Russell, I see them all. I don’t always have time to respond. But I always read them. Thank you for your kind comment.

[@Fonzmora]

Woodworkers helping other woodworkers....thanks thats the people we need, greetings from Portugal

[@cassidypoboxcom]

Absolutely Fantastic, science based, comprehensive glue tutorial. This is by far the best educational material on glue I have ever come across and the presentation style and information is delivered so well it kept me engaged throughout the entire presentation. You are a first class educator. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience with the rest of the world! PS Love the family involvement!

[@judisofka401]

Oh my, your sweet daughter made me laugh out loud with her sweet “photo bomber” antics. You family is priceless James; you’re truly blessed.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Judi, thank you! You are very kind.

[@martyking6942]

James, thank you for making the video about the different types of glue. Your video was the first one I have ever watched the truly explains the differences between the glues. Thank you again and I hope you continue making the videos for a long time to come.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you Marty!

[@patrickmatthews4060]

Best, most informative 40 minutes I’ve spent all week! Thanks for sharing your considerable knowledge on the the subject. Epoxy is next in my glue education!

[@eros9077]

Best instructional video about woodworking glue I've seen. Very informative and well presented. Thank you

[@johnbedell2376]

This has got to be - in my opinion - the most thorough and educational video on woodworking glue I have ever watched. It has answered my frustrating question of, “Why?” as I stare bewildered at the seemingly overpopulated glue section of my local Home Depot. Thank you for the clear and concise explanations, James.

[@terrybollenbaugh7622]

Hi James, The nice thing about your videos is that I can watch them several times and always get more out of them. I work for a paint manufacturing company so it's nice to hear about the chemistry behind the products. It's also good that you can tell us when and why you would use a particular glue in a particular circumstance. I've actually been a Tite Bond glue user for several years now and it's nice to see my own thoughts verified about the quality of glue they put out. Thank you for sharing your wood wisdom with the rest of us. I really appreciate it.

[@calvincassle7153]

I just bought some Titebond III yesterday and I was going to do some research to see what the differences were between the three types. This segment on glue saved me a lot of time! Your Woodworking 101 series is great and some segments will be visited many times.

[@rhihodag9873]

The BEST video ever explaining the types, characteristics, and unique qualities of the myriad of glues I have ever seen! Thank you James & Team! I know I will be referring back to this vid in the future. Your skills as an "Educator" really come through in pulling together all aspects of your teaching vids. Your background as well as an organic chemist adds a great deal of credibility to this subject matter. Great, Great video! Please throw my hat in the ring for the epoxy give-away. THANK YOU!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@lcook0825]

This was one of the most interesting videos I have ever seen. Very informative to the public.

[@StinsonBlueWagon]

James your presentations are wonderful. Definitely can tell the background you came from. Love the family connection. Wish you and your family continued success.

[@Binbag1010]

Hi James, i am in awe of your knowledge of the products you use. Love all the videos you post, very informative and think it is great that the entire family gets involved. Keep up the good work.

[@brettm1118]

The more I watch your videos, the more respect I have for you and your experience. Wow, a chemist too, and clearly a great teacher. For me, Titebond II has always been on my shelf, but now III for me too!

[@ryanzeldenrust7478]

GREAT VIDEO! I have never used hide glue. I like how you discussed the different applications and how you can heat it to remove it. Sign me up for the hide glue!

[@AndreUchoaUSA]

You really have the skill of teaching. Appreciate your work.

[@stevenkofoed1698]

Great lesson on glues, you are a great teacher. I have been wood working for about 2 years now and I have taken your advice on glues from the beginning and have never had a glue joint fail because of the glue. I have to work outside so I don't build much in summer because of the heat and nothing in the winter because of the cold and snow. Although I don't get much done I love it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I always enjoy learning.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@majenness]

James Thanks for a most informative video. I watch your channel frequently as you always seem to provide valuable insight.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@lmnop463]

As always, the best out there. And as always, your proper use of language is appreciated. Big fan.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you! That’s very kind.

[@SithLandlord]

James, you are amazing! Fountain of knowledge. Thank you for this video.

[@princielee]

You are a great person for doing this. I always enjoyed your videos dreaming that one day I be able to do a tenth of what you do with your eyes closed. Thank you again. As far as your contest I'll love to get anything but rather get more vids from you.

[@cliff5240]

Excellent video. I learned many things I didn't know. You kept me glued to the video the entire time.

[@rwkayser]

I have been experimenting with various glues for a few months. I wish I had viewed this when I started on my workbench back in December! I purchased Gorilla glues in the past that after application, I discovered required water as a catalyst. What a mess I made of that project! This is absolutely the best educational video I have seen on glue types and uses! Your research, teaching, and Chemist background shows. I have most of the glues mentioned above.. except epoxy. I have a few projects in the works which I planned on using Epoxy as filler and finish. I have delayed purchasing any since I have never had a glue and bonding class that covered it all... until now! Thanks James..

[@waynebusse6376]

I learned about sizing end grain forty years ago while installing curved red oak railings. The glue joint failed the first time and after inspecting the failed joint I noticed the open pours were sealed as all the glue was forced into them. On the second attempt the glue joint held strong so I started sizing all my rail connections with great success. Love all your videos...

[@ytyt8224]

Thank you for taking the time explaining each clue product in great detail I am a brand-new woodworker just getting started I didn't know there was that many different types of CA glues I would like to try them and learn about them thank you again and have a great day

[@scotthahn4304]

Only recently found your YT channel. The videos I've seen so far have been very informative and helpful to me. Thank you!

[@jimsciolla4119]

Thanks for sharing this information with us. Enjoy watching your videos and learning from them.

[@donalddubreuil3633]

I have gained some important knowledge about glue that I have never known thank you for that knowledge!

[@YeOldeLancer]

I just recently found your channel and am really enjoying getting "caught up". I really appreciate all of the information you put out. I've been woodworking for decades, but still find gaps in my knowledge. I'm finding your videos so helpful. Thanks for all of your work. I'd be interested in anything but the hide glue.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@jdc5941]

James, absolutely fantastic class on glue. I learned much from you. You are definitely an informed teacher, thanks for sharing some knowledge. Also my wife and I get the biggest kick out of seeing your daughter photo bomb the videos.😊

[@jcsrst]

That soda straw glue removal tool is brilliant! Thanks for a very informative video!

[@okeedoky0]

You were one of my first woodworking subscriptions and I still cant get enough of your videos! You are a great teacher and I always enjoy learning something new from your channel. I am interested in trying out the epoxy resin glue.

[@robertduvall9580]

Just now seen this and wanted to get in on the give away. I noticed that this video was made 3 years ago. Very informative video. I’m a titebond user myself. Thank you for the information.

[@billbender6926]

Just found your KZbin channel and they are very helpful. The lesson on glue was especially helpful and included lots of info I needed. I also just joined your community fb page and look forward to reading all the input from lots of sources. Thank You!

[@scottriggins1942]

This was a very helpful and well put together presentation. I really enjoy watching you and your family doing projects.

[@tellezfamily3223]

Wow. New to woodworking and more than I could know about the different types of glue and their usage. Would love to try the 5:1 epoxy. Please keep up the woodworking lesson for us newbies. Thanks so much.

[@SKWDMDYT]

Your channel is very inspiring, motivating, and intellectually stimulating. You are a great teacher! Keep up the good work.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you very much!

[@Wu2u22]

Another EXCELLENT video, sir. One of the most useful things I have watched in a long time. Thank you!

[@nopenadda6655]

Thanks James I always enjoy your videos. You educate and inspire people with your videos. I would be interested in trying the CA glues. Again thank you for offering your knowledge to us.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@charleshanfman]

As an engineer I really appreciate the detail and technical explanation of forces, glue types, and applications. Thank you for the great video. I’d like to try CA glue for some of my small projects.

[@Steelgeek]

Glad to see guest appearances by our favorite photo bombers! Awesome video, I learned quite a bit and I thought I was already knowledgeable!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@dmueller1875]

Im very interested in the Epoxy. Never tried it. Thanks for the efforts you put in to take care of the community James. Awesome!

[@acmelvin6360]

James, great lecture on glue! I've watched many of your videos and they always impressed me to think that this guy should be a professor... and surprise you are a professor (I am a former chemistry professor myself). Keep up the great work and thanks for providing a very helpful resource.

[@MikeBramm]

Hi James, good to see you again. Another excellent video reference. I use Titebond II & III for my woodworking projects. When building radio controller airplanes, I use CA for most joints and epoxy finishing resin for coating the floats.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Mike, Thank you!

[@DaCake2]

Once again, thank you for another great video. Just joined the facebook community as well and Im excited to be a part of it.

[@mariah4451]

I'm blown away by the amount of detail and useful information in this video and the other videos in this series. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your valuable knowledge :-)

[@chriswampler8399]

I've been wood working for several years and I always hear people say they're using a certain glue or a certain finish because it's ideal for their particular application. Thank you for this great treatment of glue properties and uses. I feel like I'll be able to make a much better informed choice now about what glue to pick for my next project. (Probably copious amounts of Tight Bond III :) )

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Chris, Thank you!

[@melmyers4329]

Thanks for sharing your experience with woodworking. Many years ago I used a lot of epoxy with metal and PVC for car body work or plumbing repairs where fittings weren't available. I'm looking forward to trying it with woodworking. Thanks again.

[@stevenmckay4492]

Awesome video man, and family, you cover all the base’s especially with stuff I didn’t even know about glue, great great job…

[@SweetSillyFun]

James, thanks for putting this out there. Based on the comments, clearly it helps both newbies and experts alike. I would love to learn more about working with epoxy. Hopefully, I’m lucky enough to get a freebie. But regardless, the info you provide is reward enough. Peace.

[@brettm1118]

Ps. Glad to be on the FB Page as well. Constant learning. Thanks for the add

[@ronroche9737]

Awesome as always James. New to the whole woodworking thing.

[@lyles637]

Awesome information and awesome channel! Thanks James and family!

[@kevinward1240]

I have used a lot of pva but have not worked with epoxy. I would love to give it a try. Thanks for the great review. My dad and I will be building him your miter station soon and the glue review was handy to have before the build.

[@calebreed5282]

I’d love to try the epoxy' Thank you for these videos. As a novice, it’s incredibly helpful.

[@larkin340]

I'm always in need of CA glue in my shop. By the way James, I thoroughly enjoy your teaching videos. I always learn something new in spite of myself!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@toddglidden2993]

Love watching your videos James. I've learned a ton! Thanks

[@toddglidden2993]

I'd love to try the Titebond III

[@tonysnowsill1499]

I am in Australia and there is no point in entering your competition for glue. However I do enjoy your videos and have learnt a lot from them.

[@tdkrei]

Great video and outstanding information. I have been working with wood since I was 15 and am now 73 so have a little experience and still learning. I made a Mahogany desk in high school with hot hide glue and still today I defy you to find a joint, it still looks beautiful (to me anyway). Now I work mostly with segmented turnings in a variety of projects and all I use is Titebond 2 and 3. I have had a couple of projects leave the lathe before I wanted them to with no damage, just chucked them back up and went back to work. I also do some special castings for turning with a different resin but I would love to try that Total Boat epoxy for some bigger ideas. Keep up the great videos, I intend to following you.

[@ronjones9373]

I started woodworking 65 years ago at the age of nine usjnd salvaged wood and nails from produce crates. My time and interest has fluctuated over the years, but retirement has allowed much more time in the shop. Most projects are for kids, grandkids. And a nonprofit i work with. In recent years titebond 3 has been my go-to glue. I can remember when just white glue was used extensively. I have thought about epoxy for some projects but the cost wasn't with the experiment. I would love to try some

[@bobtaylor2040]

James, that was a fantastic lesson about glues. I have been woodworking for 60 years and have never learned this much about glues at one time. (Maybe my experience has been 1 year 60 times) Love your channel. Don't do facebook but would be interested in other forums besides KZbin if available. Titebond III is my choice of glues also. Thanks again.

[@ernestboatwright7172]

In joy all of the video's you do. You are are great teacher.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Ernest! Thank you!

[@PTS0x45]

Thanks. That was great describing the PVA glue.

[@rmyukon]

I just got into the Epoxy River Table thing. Just finished my first piece....a small table for my 2 year old son. I've already had other people wanting me to make something for them. I'd love the epoxy. However, I also make cutting boards and have used TiteBond 2 previously. I've never used TiteBond 3 before. So, that would be nice to use, as well. I've missed your videos. Glad to see them back. They are awesome!

[@dalemoffatt3660]

Calling from Canada so unlikely you would ship here however I'd like my two cents to be put in for the epoxy as I just bought a new house and have a new shop I'm putting together. Glad to see you back as well hope all is well. Didn't realize you were an instructor explains a lot and your ability to convey your Concepts. Thanks to you and your family for all the awesome videos

[@jamesdossett2295]

If not too late (I didn't read all the comments), I'd love to try the titebond set! I'm getting started on cutting boards and furniture in my garage shop.

[@jurgenmuller232]

Hallo , die Videos sind super . Es wird sehr fein erkärt worum es geht . Hezliche Grüße aus Hamburg Germany :)

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Vielen Dank

[@bunkersaver4980]

A little late, but in my opinion you are the best KZbinr. Well done.

[@ytyt8224]

Thank you for taking the time to explain each product in great detail I am a new woodworker and always looking for information and you have provided a great deal on the Titebond product I Now understand the differences between 1 2 and 3 I would like to try them each though thank you and have a good day

[@thehawkc]

That was very imformative. I like the combination of technical and practical. Thanks

[@garrisjr]

Great Job. A lot of good information, Very informative. Can't wait for lesson 4. I would like to try the epoxy. Thanks.

[@rmp3636]

Best discussion about glues I've ever seen. It answered some questions I wouldn't have known to ask. My preference is for epoxy or TiteBond PVA. Thanks.

[@lfloate2192]

James I am interested in the epoxy slow. I have seen several video's where people have used epoxy as a filler for turning. I never thought of using it as a "glue". Additionally thanks so much for your video's. I always learn something.

[@kevinoverholt1216]

Great video series and learn a lot from watching your videos. I am new to woodworking so any glues discussed would be great.

[@wycheproofworkshops1192]

You know glue for real..!! Great video and very informative James

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thanks buddy!!

[@wycheproofworkshops1192]

Thank you :)

[@richragan4810]

This was well done and a good time of learning. Thanks James.

[@ytyt8224]

Thank you for taking the time to explain each product in great detail I am a new woodworker and always looking for information to help me out I have a couple projects coming up here soon and I think the polyurethane glue would be a great mixed with it thank you for your time and have a great day

[@mmmark61]

Really enjoyed this summary! I have my gallon of Titebond III that I going through and have liked it for the reasons that you mention! So I will need some more! Thanks!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@DrConifer]

That was an amazing piece of information packing. Really amazing, this video deserves an award. Couple of things, first, please feel free to talk more about the chemistry aspects of woodworking. That's fascinating stuff and it hardly appears at all in the woodworking literature. Second, I did wish you would talk a bit about the tools used to manage glue. I've seen you have a variety of applicators and brushes and such, specialized for gluing use, and it would help to know more about them.

[@pacheco7963]

Titebond 3 is my #1 choice because of these kings fine woodworking videos.

[@jimk.5961]

I’ve been watching videos with epoxy finishes. I built a kitchen table and would love the epoxy coating. Great explanation on all the adhesives. I wasn’t aware that the epoxy could be used on joints.

[@ytyt8224]

Thank you for taking the time to explain each clue product in great detail I am a new woodworker the two-part epoxy sounds like it would be a great Challenge and something I would like to try thanks again and have a good day

[@kevinklockman7486]

Great video, you just sold me on switching to ultimate 3 glue. Thanks

[@tombennett1673]

fantastic video with loads of useful information, i am saving this video for future reference. thanks for sharing.

[@timothycottom9929]

Hi James I did find your answers to my question, and a big Thank you .

[@williamcarter8226]

Ordered your outdoor table plans. Going to build 3 of them for around the pool. Interested in epoxy as you used for the slats! Looking good so far.

[@stanmashek3085]

excellent video JAMES so helpful to so many great points. thank you

[@daviddowie4683]

Great information.I’ve worked with a lot of construction adhesives so I knew a lot but you definitely gave me some good pointers.I have not worked with many epoxy products ( mostly craft style ) and think that it would be interesting as I work with a fair amount of Spalted woods as you mentioned.Great video that I am forwarding on!

[@snifferlip1]

I just love watching your videos. You make all these things seem so simple and you seem like such a patient fellow. I have joined your facebook page and subscribed to this channel. If the drawing is still on, I would love to win the epoxy. I have always wanted to try my hand with it, but just haven't yet. Thank you again for all the great videos.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you for all the kind comments

[@ralphtrites3724]

Hi James. Thanks: More technical information calmly explained. I am most interested in the CA glues.

[@Tonian259]

Thanks for the vid King family! I have watched all of your vids many times over! there is just something about you all. I always learn something and I have been woodworking for a long time as a hobby. I do a lot of turning, it is so therapeutic. Recently I have been trying out some epoxy just with bigger cracks but, Ive only bought it at the hardware store I just those 2 tube small portion so, YEP, I would love that epoxy!!! and of course I use CA!!! Glue is Good!!! Have a great day King family as I watch the glue vid for the second time LOL!

[@jesseslone8714]

I love your videos, FYI. I started my college career as a chemical engineering major, still love some chemistry, so I love when you talk about the chemical aspects behind glue and finishes! I had never even heard of CA glue until I made your extreme sled. I could always use more of that as well! Thanks for the information, and keep doing it!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Awesome. Thank you!

[@MusicOnHoldGuy]

Actually you have heard of CA glue. You just know it by it's commercial name. ...Superglue!

[@billm4560]

What can I say James…you did an excellent job explaining about those glues! As usual, very interesting and informative! Thank you for sharing! I use Titebond 3 for everything! Sure would like to try some of that CA glue! 😎

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Bill, Thank you!

[@coreygray5435]

CA glue. You're the man!

[@kansastennessee281]

Lol I just finished my first end grain cutting board today and used Titebond 2...I’m definitely going to have to get some Titebond 3 now. Thanks for making these videos...I’m learning so much. 🙂

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you for watching

[@dalewilliamson1125]

Love Titebond 3, Thanks for sharing James!!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Dale Thank you!
