I Tested Viral Woodworking TikToks

[@jeffjackson2871]

"3 Chunks of Wood and a Bunch of Tools I don't Own" would make a good t-shirt. As always your videos are informative and entertaining, keep up the great work.

[@xxPenjoxx]

I love that for a t-shirt

[@douglaspulliam9028]

I’m a 3xl-T. When are they gonna be ready?

[@orichal5968]

I would buy one

[@woundedmonk1884]

That's exactly how it was when I built my first guitar. It did not go well

[@Liastnir]

Yeah!

[@Flou-qu6ge]

Being German, i had my trouble with watching the second tip with the hilarious joint…

[@robbiehoekstra6840]

I get the feeling, I saw the thumbnail and instantly saw a swastika. I’m Dutch..

[@ohheyitsjoshhinac495]

Same but I’m American 😂

[@ihavebigballsandican]

Its called the Nazi Knot joint

[@maxmoller]

All hail the absurd joinery things. 😂

[@benlamborn5792]

I think that was the point of the joint was to have a swastika without calling in a swastika

[@James_XXIY_crafts]

4:20 A swastika joint, it's going to hold together just as well as the Third Reich, which means it seemed like an interesting idea, but it's going to completely break and everyone's going to hate it and realize it was stupid from the beginning. haha

[@thepom572]

Glad I'm not the only one that saw that

[@mirokutwo]

I was asking myself "why did he choose to do the freaking white supremacist joint?" And then he starts making fun of it and calling it shit immediately.

[@BlakePizzey]

Hahaha I was thinking the same thing

[@jbbresers]

Saw the thumbnail and came here to point out the accidental swastika 😂

[@RyTrapp0]

In fabrication/wood working, those patterns of lines aren't politically charged

[@dustylumberco]

Great vid! Thanks for showing my vid and that’s awesome you have the castle joint a try 👍 it’s definitely a fun joint

[@BlakePizzey]

Let's see more collabs here gentlemen!

[@benheinrich4306]

Huge fan of both y’all, so cool!

[@Shop_Simplicity]

Huge fan!!!

[@cjsr05]

Definitely need a collab gents!

[@jasonhagen]

Huge fan of both yinz! Keep posting great content!

[@explosionsandstuff7787]

I'm not even into woodworking, but I can't stop watching your videos because of your personality.

[@drewhoenigke6796]

I wasn't paying much attention to the second joint at first, so I assumed all those 2X4's would be half-lapped with the 4 dowels going through the center where the half-laps meet. I thought "that's actually a good joint in the right application. What's he talking about it being trash?"... Then I saw the actual "joint". I guess I didn't suspect anyone would think that such a design would actually work, let alone post it after guaranteed failure. I dunno...maybe he's new to this craft and is excited. But if so, it serves as a good example: people who are new to something, and excited about learning it, should not be teaching others how to do it.

[@chsstagemanager2012]

I agree, the swastika joint would be very strong if it were made with half-laps

[@LucarnAnderson]

I think the only reason it got so many views is because of what symbol it makes honestly

[@borderelite]

Well, you know, german engineering is insane.

[@aaronoconnor606]

That castle joint would look nice under a clear epoxy slad with 3 different types of wood or different colored materials

[@alexfrederick9019]

13:15 you can set the depth on my sliding miter saw, it has a bolt and locking nut that will set the depth and fine adjust it. Then you can mill pretty well with it. Also, account for the width of the blade in full. You need to creep up on those widths, preferable to be too tight and sand it or scrape it out with a chisel, you can also put a slight bevel in on the corners and really jam it tight so it won't budge.

[@chris_toph_77]

Great video and thanks for debunking the strange ones! I like the castle joint. Btw, there is a depth stop option on the Makita chop saw (I have the same model), and when you use a block as spaces against the fence, you can cut dados with it. That does work rather well for small dados or half laps.

[@kevinnistor1954]

Can't. Stop. Watching. These.

[@skippylippy547]

The Castle Joint is really cool!

[@John28530]

The planer truck is a very common technique used in timber framing it is used when the boards are to heavy to go through the planer

[@MrDICKO80]

Love the castle joint, built an outdoor table using the same joint on each of the legs, still holding up to this day with plenty of abuse!! Great video!!!

[@cbates162]

2 Tik Flops and 1 Tik Tok. During the first one my pucker factor was 110% so I could not even imagine what yours was!😮

[@Binford81]

You made the castle joint look so easy, definitely do a project for the channel

[@WildEagleWoodworks]

The guy was planing beams. It's actually normal practice for planing huge beams because they're too heavy to just feed through the planer and actually keep them level. I laughed too at the video when I saw it and the Carpenter I was working for explained this to me. Made sense once he did. Definitely won't be a good idea with smaller/lighter boards.

[@andrewwebb2141]

Video idea Pin the Tail on the Donkey … using the forklift … blindfolded With verbal warnings of how close they are to the wall, sheet, whatever. But not left/right or up/down

[@Erik_The_Viking]

That castle joint was awesome! The planer "trick" - wow. That's dangerous on so many levels.

[@pidinik]

I've seen it used on long heavy beams on jobsites before and with good supports and at least one person on both sides of the beam it seemed to work well. Using it in a shop for boards alone is dangerous nonsense. When this originally emerged the point was 'how to plane stuff that's too heavy for your planer on site'

[@atomicwinter31]

Reminds me of how i use a small low block planer... I dont have a good vise, so i held a part in my hand, and then shaved a quarter sized chunk off of my palm lmao

[@Erik_The_Viking]

@@atomicwinter31 Ouch.

[@dp01]

I like the 4 🐿️ out of 5 score. Whenever you do future builds or show how to build jigs or different joints you can give the audience the difficulty level by using squirrels. 1 squirrel= easy 2 squirrels= medium 3 squirrels= hard

[@scrillaofficial1435]

That 10m views joint was looking kinda oppressive ngl

[@brianbarham7077]

Agreed every time I watch dusty lumbers joints i want to try them but never have a reason to. I guess I need to build a caste for that joint.

[@colehalford1893]

I want to see actor Cole Hauser from Yellowstone do these woodworking TikTok challenges

[@cohenmd5243]

this is the first video I watch from this channel and I'm already liking everything

[@comiccat4650]

Even if that one joint works, I wouldn't feel comfortable having swastikas on all my furniture

[@derekrosecrans1361]

Great video, love blowing up the B's on the tok. Castle joint was pretty cool.

[@m.renner9650]

There is a stop you can set on your chop saw to stop the blade at a certain height. That waybyoundint have to worry about cutting to deep. I do that all the time. Here we go stillers here we go!

[@Zogg1281]

That castle joint is sweet and I can see why Jordan's been wanting to use it in a project for so long. My vote would be for a pedestal table where you use a log/tree trunk as the upright and maybe logs cut in half for the top and bottom of the upright so the flat parts of the half logs are flat on the floor and underside of the table top. I hope that made sense 😅

[@Rottwiler44]

That’s my immediate though for a castle joint as well, big old pedestal table. It’d be a nice joint for a bed frame as well!!

[@andrewwebb2141]

By the time you set up the planer to run, you could just run the board through and be done 🤷‍♂️ Dowel trick in joint, I assume the boards were glued first, then drilled out. Which would defeat the purpose of the dowels 🤔 Keep up the great videos, the whole team is fun to watch

[@andrewwebb6270]

Not going to lie, I saw your comment and got EXTREMELY confused as this is my first time watching this video haha.

[@Bluestrike2]

If the glued up piece was really too heavy to maneuver, it’d be faster-not to mention easier and less dangerous-to just grab a hand plane and some winding sticks. For pieces that are difficult to maneuver (due to weight and/or size) or would require you to figure out workarounds due to the limitations of your machines, sometimes the easiest solutions are hand tools.

[@PresidentSquigglyMiggly]

That castle join is a thing of beauty

[@kisselos]

OMFG! My heart breaks with the way you treat that DeWalt planer!! I dream of having one of those and you almost broke it!! 🥺😭😭

[@jansenart0]

1:10 Gender aside, 50lbs is the maximum lift capacity for a single unassisted person per OSHA.

[@mrroboshadow]

i just found this video and im not even 20 seconds in but i must say your respect for Ron Swanson is admirable

[@rodpotts2666]

Yea I like watching Dusty lumber.

[@rellikpd]

Man I've always found great satisfaction in watching jig'd cuts fit together... like dove-tails, or this castle joint... noice

[@purroductscentral]

Occasionally I get people telling me I need to get on Tiktok with my videos. I Googled "average Tiktok video length." I'm stymied. I have no idea how to demonstrate building a cat tree in 15-30 seconds (even 3 minutes is ridiculous) without it looking like a car accident in the middle of a tornado while being launched by NASA into space. And I'm a half decent video editor!

[@RyTrapp0]

You just cut out ALL of the important stuff, and leave the unimportant visually stimulating stuff - it sure as hell isn't for learning anything LOL

[@purroductscentral]

@@RyTrapp0 Yeah I've been thinking about it over the course of the day. I could see myself laying out all the parts on the project table, doing a video pan, then showing the end product. And of course some shenanigans to make it amusing.

[@arrowdriver]

John the first two I watched but I wouldn’t even try them. Just what showed was what I thought would happen. Great myth buster program.

[@jeffreyskaggs4175]

@4:05- If you have a 25' board in a 20' room, you've got bigger problems.😂🤣😂

[@yamahabiker1937]

It never fails to amaze me on what people think looks good or is a good idea. Obviously people that really have no knowledge, experience or common sense of construction/woodworking.

[@harryfortune7262]

My favourite part of this video is your shrine yo the world's best master woodworker - Ron Swanson.

[@John_Malecki]

Ron is Dad

[@summerperkey9307]

Where did you get that epic piece of art my hubby wants one?

[@TeddyWestside412]

love this concept for a video series

[@Dont_Poke_The_Bear]

Definitely needs more tiktok debunks!

[@michaelross8794]

Thank you for trying that dowel fail. It saved me actually spending the time to do that myself. I couldn't see how it could possibly work...but I wanted to be sure. Now I am. Thank you.

[@XiuHang]

But like, why even test? Even if it does work you're left with a joint that looks like a swastika.

[@maciejbednarek7741]

i always have a lot lights watching your vid. but this time my heart if bleeding when i see how you treat that old poor Dewalt planner :) Such one is my dream missing in garage workshop tool that cost according to my wife to many new dresses:)

[@deepakmore8543]

Yes, plz continue this series. I like it.

[@6453bianchi]

Dusty is the man.

[@musefamily7833]

6:29 “No dude I need the drill bit”. Is my son working in your workshop too? Because he’s the only person I could imagine bringing a drill with a dowel in it. 😂 😆

[@HafizNordin]

Absolutely i need to try the castle joint, looks great

[@dannyherbert4482]

"obviously it works otherwise people wouldn't be watching it" right after making something that didn't work😂

[@mypolitical]

“This is stupid!” I couldn’t agree more!

[@EdHadder]

I Love Your Videos John ❤️

[@davidfisk3274]

That's was cool Truth and consequences and the mysteries of wood working

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

Hola! 🖐 That was loads of fun, you've got to do more of these. The last one was BY FAR the most legit one of them. You guys take care and stay safe, Adios! 👊

[@mackenziemill]

the squirrels came out! Love it

[@danpendergrass7762]

I have used a variation of the second method, the trick is offsetting your dowel holes, not centering them.

[@HerbaceousM8]

THAT JOINT MADE AN INTRESTING SYMBOL. One that i shouldnt even mention, but its got a 1940s Germany kinda vibe

[@ymemag9861]

Great job, loved the video!!!!

[@NwoRun]

More Tested Video, Please!

[@dannyc5656]

Really enjoyed this vid👍

[@leightonjc7305]

I work at Woodcraft, you should see all these people coming in looking for tools to perform some of these. Sadly I have to tell some of them, "that will get you hurt very bad".

[@BudjetBassin]

Such a fun video to watch😂

[@JJE2010MO]

Super fun video!

One of the funniest Vids you have done. Loved it man

I have never been so scared watching woodworking in my life!

[@splinterstoplanks]

HAHAHa..love the Unknown Error popup!! Great stuff as always guys!

[@markyantz1671]

Dowels are used for lining stuff up not adding strength. Did like the castle joint.

[@brettallen6129]

Dusty Lumber Co. is the shit! He’s helped me in my woodworking journey!

[@SpitfiretheCat16]

Castle joint idea (probably lame); the support of a table, perhaps? Like a big ol' dining room table, with the top set onto one central support, and the arms of the joint stabilizing it.

[@vincentecabrera6728]

What a great video!

[@Hnkka]

My grandpa loves that joint 4:34

[@jmmmdfacs2985]

What push fence are you using at 12:41-->12:52? I cannot read names and could not find a product link. Thanks!

[@mikegrizzly4188]

That’s actually a pretty well established trick. That’s how we process material for exposed rafters.

[@matthewwashburn2638]

Your video came up randomly, definitely got a new subscriber

[@Joe_Fotoleo]

Damn, that castle joint was sic. Nice work John!

[@greenhorighzonz]

castle joints are awesome! strong n sexxy going to use them when I build my new aquarium stand later this year

[@kameljoe21]

The last joint I have tried and with out the right tools it is super hard to do. Wasted a lot of pine boards trying to get it right and ended up doing a half lap for the project. Though I wish I had that shaper to make the cuts as it would have worked out great.

[@PokiDAD]

Ur awesome love watching ur videos teach me a lot. Thank you.

[@markroper9269]

Love the video! Have a great 4th!!

[@traviswilliams3209]

There should be a plunge stop on your chop saw that can let you get some radial work done more safely

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Love this 😂😂😂

[@GregLanz]

I think the point of that 'dowel joint' trick was that if you look quickly it kind of resembles a swastika

[@jasonmorgan6825]

Had to watch this one again 😂😂😂

[@divarachelenvy]

good video, keep em coming...

[@johnkirwan762]

Johnathan Katz Moses needs to resurrect joint of the week with "dogshit joint" 😂

[@tiesthatbind5056]

Woah nice steelers clock! Shout out from Pittsburgh🤘🏼

[@KnightsWithoutATable]

Ok, now make a joint that has three square pieces of lumber each intersecting each other at the same point and perpendicular to each other. It is possible and I have done it. It isn't fully structural, but it does look impossibly cool and can be put together without any glue, dowels, or fasteners.

[@Nick-HBC]

Planer trick: "If you have a 25 foot board and you're in a 20 foot room...physics pays no attention to you". ;-) Awesome video.

[@Hellyers]

I want to see more 3 skill level builds, they were fun.

that joint looks very ... german?
