I Test Viral Beginner Woodworking TikTok Builds!

[@dylandreisbach1986]

We need a redo on that dowel one. Works better when it’s spinning the right direction.

[@rctruxbashing7420]

YeahI wasn’t gonna say anything….

[@spiderwrangler4457]

That's the problem with just sending it... sometimes your drill isn't spinning the right way...

[@LanceMcCarthy]

Loll, you're spinning the dowel the wrong direction

[@zsomborszarka2616]

After checking it at 0.25 speed, i am not sure about that. Maybe the sharpness and location of the blade was the culprit? Edit: op was right, and i was wrong.

[@kmadigan1347]

Im looking at it with my super secret NSA decoding machine and it was running backwards. Because there was no shavings going in the direction of the blade.

[@natepeterson7145]

I was about to say the color of the cutter looks like it hasn't been sharpened since 1989

[@pirotehs]

@@zsomborszarka2616 Did You check at 9:12 with .25 speed? I think it's wrong direction. e.g. saw dust in original video collects on blade's side. In this video on opposite side.

[@DIYBuildandRepair]

Definately spining the wrong way, the wood should be spinned into the blade, so either change the rotation on the drill or change the side the blade is mounted on :))

[@TheWebstaff]

Teacher never let John have a pencil sharper after so many incidents. So he never got the basics. Like you have to rotate the pencil into the blade. But if all else fails shove it in harder and let friction do the work!!! 😂😂😂

[@paulwilson2204]

"Thank you, I love it!" (trying to figure out what its supposed to be). We all deserve partners like this.

[@kupaN9]

We should all aspire to BE those partners for the ones we love.

[@tebonr]

John…..🤦🏼‍♂️ lmao you’re spinning the dowel the wrong direction

[@graywulf19]

I actually bought a picnic table like that this summer. It was built by carpentry students at a technical school near me. They build them for practice and then sell them to support the program.

[@BlokedAgain]

Thats awesome! I hope that either is or becomes common practice in places.

[@ryannheninger1602]

That joint was awesome. Please build something using those joints!!!

[@bornepatrol]

Watching these videos takes me back to my youth. My old man and I were working through books from the 70’s or 80’s with 100 of DIY would builds from a letterbox and bird house to small cabins. So many unfinished ones.

[@downwiththesneaker9933]

I love how the picknick table bench came out completely different than the vid haha did you buy the wrong plans?

[@TheWebstaff]

Also where are the plans????? He said they'd be below an I ain't seeing no link!!

[@knitturn3422]

Yeah, the one he built was terrible because when you fold the table part down, you have 2 benches that face away from each other. My guess is he bought the plans from the tik tok creator who did not actually make the bench in the video and made some janky plans to scam people out of a few bucks.

[@jedbrink7046]

I noticed that. I think there was some bamboozling going on there. Definitely not the same bench/table as shown

[@MrGhoulie]

yeah the one in the video had support so the table couldn't fold in, also designed in a way that leaning back on the bench couldn't make it fold back

[@gamertherapyconsoleyoursel5804]

if you pause at 14:11 you can see the plan on the clipboard, and it is completely different from the source video.

[@trob9502]

The picnic table you built and the one in the ticktok are completely different 😂😂. Love the videos! Keep killin it!

[@SolemnStacker]

The Woodworking Plan he bought is not the same table as shown in the TikTok video. So he did build it to plan, just not to the Tik Tok vid. The Tik Tok Video table does look more appealing with how it's constructed and tilts.

[@HammerShock23]

Underrated tip at 15:17. Always cut your longest pieces first, that way if you mis-cut it short, it can still be used for other pieces.

[@angrymeowngi]

I prefer to cut twice and measure once.

[@HammerShock23]

@@angrymeowngi 😄 Every now and then I think we all have that "ah crap" moment where something in the plan doesn't quite work out.

[@flandrble]

but at what point do you realise it's too short? after you've already started building and cut all the shorter lengths? :D

[@jaydenerpelding477]

[@Bannanasammich]

a tip, for making the bowls, a smaller circular saw blade will allow you to make deeper bowls., or a bigger piece of wood. you do you.

[@PikkaBird]

Another tip, I guess- double stick the piece to a lazy susan bearing so you don't have to be afraid to cut into a screw or nail.

[@kayagorzan]

@@PikkaBird That’s a good idea

[@Gh0stH0stTwenty2-2s]

So I'm a metal worker...always avoided working with wood. Found your channel a week ago because of the pallet videos. Then I was like "if his pallet videos are this good his wood working videos are probably as good or better". Just ordered some wood tools as a result of your channel and I'm excited to dig in. Would love to see some tutorials. Really enjoy your content mate.

[@Hichamhasan]

08:40 The rotation of the dowel should be towards the blade not away of it (like pencil sharpener)

[@js-mu9tx]

I noticed that too, it's indeed like a pencil sharpener. Maybe try with cedar, sinds pencils are made out of cedar wood.

[@Hichamhasan]

@@js-mu9tx I do not think that the type of wood is a much difference here, just don't push very aggressively if it is a hardwood.

[@musicbeast_yt]

The plank reference was perfect 👌🏽

I was just about to say this but saw a few others pointed it out, but I'm pretty sure the setup for that dowel cutter was backwards and you basically turned it into a fire started instead.

[@UnholyTerra]

The second one, ive made something like that. I use it to shake up warhammer paints. Works like a dream

[@alfonsoPina]

You're team is the bomb. they get the humor and now they're sending it back to you. I LOVE the interaction. reminds me of my Army days. This type of interaction is good for YOUR soul.

[@revzombie]

Love the way you add random comedy along with interesting content, think the chemistry works perfectly, that's why you get a shit tom of views, love the channel.

[@MrThehideki]

[@juanpablosaenzcastaneda4643]

Best part of that bench table combo is if one side gets up the other side wont flip over❤

[@StumpkillerCP]

"Always cut your longest pieces first." Best advice my Father-in-law (b. 1909) ever gave me. He was a cabinet maker and I treasure the times we worked together. He was more a Daddy to me than my Father was (I worked with my Father-in-law for 25 years, but my father, who never threw a ball to me, I lived with as a parasite for 17 years until I went to college . . . if you get that reference).

[@NA_49erFan]

I'm not a woodworker, but I just want to say I found your channel very entertaining so far. Thank you for all your hard work

[@Lord_zeel]

Love the dowel thing, it's literally a big pencil sharpener.

[@toddvail2630]

Wish we could post pictures to comments here... I made the miter saw bowl last week out of some pine scraps I had laying around. 1-1/2 wide pieces glued crisscross & stacked a couple layers. It came out pretty cool. Used jigsaw to cut it into rounded shape & beveled the bottom a tad with my router. Have some hardwood scraps glued up & waiting for another day to do that.

[@jjones4391]

Why not weld a used throwaway blade to the stem of the clamp and just leave the mounting part clear ?

[@BrettPorta]

Rob Cosman has a video on making a Dowel jig similar to the fire starter you were making. I think he suggested using exotic woods with high natural oil content like wenge that will self lubricate. He also tapers the in feed side of the jig.

Great Video. The spring joint was my favorite. I dig the wristwatch. What brand/name is it?

[@EmuSFeArg]

What is great of decimals is... Metric system!! Has John tried it making a project?? He should, worthy content hehe

[@valoriec]

I like the little picnic table/benches. They could do for improv work desks for laptops. It's like little school desks for kids. Lean it against a wall, and you have a tiny desk. Definitely not for larger folks, but the benches are cute. Also, it looks like the dowel spinner was going the wrong way.

[@thepagan5432]

John, being human means we are not perfect. However, checking rotation direction making towels is a must. I was well pleased that you made some great copies. Good post mate 👍

[@GoldReefCity]

[@Ben-tc8gd]

I think one of the harder parts of woodworking is the creativity. I think it would be interesting if after you built a social media project you talk about what things you might add or subtract from the project. This would be more of “idea generating” than a critique of the project. 👍

[@mothmansuperfan7513]

We used to do something like the sazall paint shaker in the metal shop I used to work at. We used a jigsaw and a hose clamp and chucked the whole contraption up into a bench vice. It's not pretty, but it got the job done

[@Specter8608]

Do a video playing with a moulding cutter set on the RAS to make trim…. 👌

[@mattf9096]

The chop saw bowl technique is pretty cool. If it doesn't exist already, you should come up with a jig to make a matching outside profile on a table saw or disk sander. Im sure a ton of people would love to be able to make bowls without the investment or learning curve of a lathe.

[@PeterSimonis]

At 18:37, the "better judgement" is used to connect the horizontal bar on the back of the benches. But that puts them under the table, so they're in the way of your feet. I would have placed them on the other side so they won't be in the way as much

[@davidskala7652]

Lookin forward to seeing you do your Pittsburgh jersey definitely crushed that 25k likes goal time to make her happen brother!

[@jamescopeland7940]

I love showing some of these to my Industrial Arts students

[@TheWrinkledCheese]

I have that Makita. On the left at the back of the slide rails, there's a black 1/2" spring loaded pin. Pull it out, twist it 90 degrees and it locks the slide all the way back. There's no way to lock it partially. Does he deliberately mess everything up for eyeballs? "What's great about decimals..." Literally how the metric system was invented hundreds of years ago.

[@Lee-k5l3x]

You guys should do a where previous projects are now like the volcano table would be awesome 👌

[@Rhasputinn]

In the section where you build the table, your screws look like they're going in so smoothly! I have the biggest issue with stripping screws, and really struggling to get longer screws into wood in my projects. I'm not sure if the problem is my bits, my drill, my wood, or my technique. But what do you suggest I try? My drill seems to have the power, but I'm just shredding through the screw heads so easily. Appreciate any tips!

[@genuismensa]

Lucky for me I have a lathe lol. I do love the paint can shaker idea. I would use an old blade and drill out that stop at the end. Then use that as my primary rivet hole. Then make a few more goin up the blade. Then a few "safety" zipties just for my own added safety and I think it would work a lot better. Also, I would only use it vertically, pointed down to ease the stress on the blade tang.

[@donaldevans5752]

Great video .

[@Brae_dan]

You should try to make the picnic table/benches with a “real wood/live edge that meets in the middle” as the table top/ back rests!!

[@GavrielMorris]

I think with the dowel jig from my experiment with it is that it works nicely with softer wood for the dowel. The harder the wood the more smoke.

[@michaelgplayzz]

18:58 you should add a clip to the side of the “table” part so you can latch it in place

[@canadiannavywife434]

Liked, shared and currently commenting.... Now to go watch the show..... Hugs from Esquimalt

[@feeterican]

Dude the dowel, you spun it the wrong way. You didn't have the blade cutting the wood.

[@chrisoakey9841]

Dip your screws in oil before driving them home. They go in smooth, and seal up next to them for rott protection. I use a shot glass and a few screws soaking as i go.

[@waltershoup763]

The dowel trick is actually a Rob Cosman jig he uses for wood hinges

[@gregoryjasongranado5248]

Little while ago I made the recip saw paint shaker and love it……just used it today actually nice video as always.

[@robertr4193]

The bowl type project went pretty well and yeah it was a bit sketchy with how close the fingers got to the blade. the Bench type project went pretty well might want to put some kind of latch on the under side to help keep it aligned and make it a little more secure in the table configuration.

[@PtrOBrn]

Spray can shaker. Old blade. Drill holes in blade and quick clamp. Bolt old blade to quick clamp. Insert blade into recipe. Shake away. Now if you need it you can unbolt the clamp.

Seen that you had the cutting part on the wrong side so thats why your were burning the dales instead of cutting your drill spins towards the right and you had the blade on the left.

[@Vickie-Bligh]
