My daughter draws on her 2-in-1 PC, an Acer Spin 3, that has an active stylus. It's similar to what a lot of digital artists have been using for years. Whatever you get for someone doing drawing, you want a pressure-sensitive pen, as that lets them draw more like with traditional media. A lot of artists love using the Apple iPads and Samsung Galaxy S tablets for that, as they're high-quality and the "pens" for them are very good.

First of all, I love your channel. I've learned a lot, like how to make a portable mft table. Now, about the gluing science. I would highly recommend the host and the viewers alike review what Patrick Sullivan has to say about glue myths in his scientific research into the matter. I dare say that he is THE woodworkers professor that we owe ourselves to learn from. Also, his above par designs are usually available for free download. If you've made it this far in the comment, and you'd like the TLDR: he says that perfection in miter joinery (not more than 0.25 of a degree) is key for glue strength.

Yeah, or just using a stronger joint to begin with.

@@ABaumstumpf What joint do you suggest, a tenon joint? Btw, have you checked out the Patrick Sullivan video? As for me, I'm a total noob, so I value the options of those more experienced than I. Everything I do is challenging and time-consuming - it's hilarious. But there some improvement. Lol

[@ABaumstumpf]

[@ticklefritz5406]

I thought I was the only one that liked Nada Surf. I can tell you did your homework, great video!

[@quargr]

Really great video and survey of different types of joints. The straw thing was really illustrative, great job! One thing I would add is (at least my view) dowels are also a type of loose tenon, so should be included in that group. As to the doweling jig, never a fan of self centering versions (thought can be very useful in other situations)because I found out that wood from the home center (in my early experience), even plywood, was not quite the same thickness so both sides of the piece needed to be sanded (or whatever) being very frustrating early on. Only once I got myself a Dowelmax (not advocating for a specific brand, just suggesting a "precision" doweling jig) did I get the results I was looking for minimizing work. Additionally, one thing to note regarding applying some type of loose tenon as compared to more conventional mortise/tenon is the wood cost can be quite a bit less (no need to buy more wood to accommodate the joint) that today can be significant cost saving making using more expensive woods a bit more accessible. Lastly, a Domino is not the only option for automation of the loose tenon process, something like a Mafell ddf 40 has much the same function as a Domino (except using Dowels) at almost the same price. Not going to get into pros/cons as each has their strengths. Just saying other options exist. Great job!

[@lumberjill6598]

I found there's a little learning curve to self centering dowel jig. I build live edge table tops, which usually involves putting 2-3 pieces of wood together. I lay my pieces together and put a piece of tape on the top to identify it's the top and if its front, middle or back. Then measure/mark each dowel placement, always measuring off the same side (usually from the right side for me). Next I clamp the board in so the top side (with the tape on it) always faces me. So if there's any inaccuracies in the jig, your dowel pins will still line up.. Does this make sense? Nothing more frustrating than when your seams don't line up right.😡

[@quargr]

@@lumberjill6598 Thanks for the tip! However, what I'm talking about is not so much inaccuracy in the jig (your suggestions factoring the variability out), but the slight inconsistency in thickness of the pieces being put together. What I am saying is that in my experience two pieces even having very slight differences in thicknesses (like taking a longer board that has been jointed and planed being cut down to form a wider board, the planning process not being perfect) create a very slight ridge on both sides of the glued piece based on the centering nature of the jig, just causing more sanding and flattening. Depending on the degree of "ridge", the resulting work can be quite extensive. What I'm suggesting is a precision jig mostly eliminates the issue (or at least moves the issue to one side of the glue up) by measuring/offsetting from one face allowing the face not having the exact offset to be treated more aggressively, often with less work. For example, if gluing up a cutting board (this is just an example, as you may not need to use dowels at all) one face will be almost perfectly aligned, only needing light sanding. The other side can be planed then sanded. In the above example I'm just dealing with boards that are edge glued for illustration, but where I find a precision jig most important is when butting up two board (face frame, table top skirt, whatever) end grain to long grain, where you want the joint to be exact. This is where a precision jig (and an exact offset) really shines because the differences in board thickness are not really at issue (and can be factored out!) making life much, much easier. All I am saying is in my experience precision jigs can be worth the money ($200-300) having their values in confidence, precision, time, less wasted material, and less time (and things like sanding) that can greatly reduce frustration.

[@lumberjill6598]

@@quargr Agreed. Speaking of precision, I always wondered why people spend so much money on straight edges and squares, like from Woodpecker. Until I found my square (off the shelf from local hardware store) wasn't square anymore. Talk about frustrating! As my skill level increases, so does the price and quality of my tools! 😁 Thanks for the conversation Robert, have a great day!

[@quargr]

@@lumberjill6598 Hi, Ya, the measuring and layout tools can be very expensive when you move into the likes of Woodpecker, often as expensive as some equipment (perhaps more) so see why beginning people skip the expense, at least initially. Some less expensive options exist but are generally not considered as "robust" as Woodpecker, though may be good for those beginning. The blemished/cosmetic seconds of PEC combo squares over at Taytools is a good example. Also, when it comes to Woodpecker, depending on the tool(watch out), you can get a lifetime guarantee, so I assume the cost of the tool includes the possibility of replacements/adjustments over the tools lifetime. To any "new" woodworker, in my view, I would suggest one or two of the more expensive marking/measuring tools as it is more than just marking and measuring your layout, it is as much or more about tool alignment, even needing to do so for power tools right out of the box! Nothing worse than from day one wondering why boards won't quite come together, being off that little bit. Even trimming that little bit still finding the cut is just not quite square. Wow, frustration! The first thought (and wasted time) is you are doing something wrong relying on the reference tool to be straight or square, the reference tools not quite being straight or square over its length. Basically, a few good reference tools can go a long way toward avoiding the frustration of other tools being out that little bit, often making some of the less expensive power tools just a joy to use...as long as they last, or indicating that the purchased tool should be returned pronto. I appreciate the dialog.

@bourbonmothwoodworking also made a joinery video and made load tests. He found out that the simple mighter joint was the 2nd best in performance. Seems like cutting a 45° angle at the butt end significantly strengthened the joint.

[@amydpnw]

He also determined that the mitre joint with the spline was far stronger than a lot of other ones.

And also second most likely one to get loose without any force applied (after a longraing-to-endgrain butjoint). Use better joints.

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve watched it several times and I’m still learning from it! Today’s lesson was to make a wedge the same size as my saw blade for the cross cut. I don’t know how many times I’ve struggled with this joint. This will really help. Great videos. Thanks

[@BobbyKinstle]

Thanks for this video. I love the slow patient way you break down the topics into bite sized pieces my brain can understand. Perfect pacing.

Great video! I've used most of these joinery method over the years but after a nearly 40 year break from woodworking it was nice to go over the basics with a great explanation of WHY you use them. Well done!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Glad you appreciated it!

[@AbdicateDotNet]

Wow!! I've seen so many joinery videos, but yours is far superior!! Thank you VERY much for taking the time to explain AND demo each joint! I too have a reMarkable and I absolutely love it! When I was a kid I used to draw a lot and quit as I got older. I've started drawing again because of reMarkable! Thanks again for sharing!! I LOVE your channel!! 👏👏⭐⭐❤❤

[@3x3CustomTamar]

That’s awesome to hear!

[@RyanBancroft]

Wow this was wonderfully useful; you did an amazing job of walking the edge of accessibility and complexity. Thank you! I feel I'll need to watch this a few times, and sample some of these techniques, to really allow all of this info sink in.

[@Quadrodiction]

Thank you for making the distinction between where a groove & a dado go in relationship to the direction of the wood grain. IT’S A HUGE HELP!!!!!. Did I mention it’s a Huge help!? There are many videos that don’t accounts for this important factor. Thanks again for the important info.

[@bobnicholas5994]

This is mind blowing and I was thinking so hard while watching I have to watch it five more times. Your excitement for woodworking always matches mine but I get lazy and stick to easy. I know that I don't use my tools to there potential like my beautiful bosch router. Thanks as always.

This was an excellent joinery video. Learning the why is very important. I’ve seen many other videos but you’ve broken it down big time. Great work!!!

[@chriskelvin248]

What I like best about your work is that you make the most of your tool set based on solid principles and techniques. Instead of sliding down the slippery slope that more, newest, expensive tools is the way to go. It tempers our urges to acquire with the realization that we already have what we need!
