As an absolute dumb dumb who has stripped a nail SEVERAL times, I've always found the rubberband hack to work! See, the key ingredient that you need to get it to work that you guys were missing is _desperation_

[@shalendar2]

Yeah, I'm surprised it didn't work for them. I've used to remove a license plate screw that was damaged and rusty.

[@DestroyAllLinesOne]

how do you strip a nail??

[@LordDragox412]

I usually just cut a slot in the screw head and use a flathead screwdriver to screw the screw in >:P

[@Adventurous-Emma]

@@DestroyAllLinesOne usually it's becauase I'm using the wrong size screw driver. It doesn't fit so it slips a lot and slowly wears down the metal that is supposed to catch

[@frogsludge1111]

For the wood one: When you dent the wood, the mass you displace from the dent doesnt leave the block of wood, it just gets compressed. Since wood is porous and heat expands, the moisture fills all the pores and the heat causes them to rexpand, pushing the mass back into shape.

Side note, that soap trick works well with needles. I used to place pins into a bar of soap. That way it would go through the fabric easier when embroidery or pinning pieces together to sew together.

[@yikes1465]

the soap thing is more for metal when you are cutting it to make jewelry, you rub the jewelers saw along soap (or more commonly beeswax) then cut into the metal. Makes it much smoother and helps make cleaner cuts. Not ideal for wood, just metal.

[@wolfchan4389]

I use it for cutting and drilling wood - soap and wax both make it a lot easier but they were putting wayyyy too much. I especially use it when I am building guitars with bolt on necks where the hardwood can get really tough even with pilot holes to screw into.

the rubber band one is more geared towards screws you have partially stripped and are afraid of stripping further. Also the screws on wood is not a great test. Screws dont come out of wood as easy as they do household electronics, which is also what the rubber band trick is geared towards

I've taken woodworking classes, and we've been taught that with dents like that shown with a steamer, you can iron them out. I've never had to do it myself, but I figure a steamer and an iron are pretty similar in function

I'm in training to be a cabinetmaker and I use the steam hack with any dents, though I do it differently. I put a wet paper towel on top of the wood and then run an iron (on low) over it until it's raised enough and then sand it smooth. I think it works because you're putting moisture into the wood, which makes it expand. Also with the soap hack, I've used that and it's really nice for soft metals like brass which are really easy to strip. I used paraffin wax though, which may have some slightly different results

For the magnet trick, there's already "magnetizer" that exist. It's a bit safer than having a magnet spinning :-P. You slide your bits or screwdriver into them and they get magnetized, once you no longer want them magnetized, you do the same in the demagnetizer section.

Rubber band hack does work! Ive used it so many times. Love the other ideas though. May I suggest a trick with a nail. If you need to make a mark in the same place so you can joint wood together place a nail with the head of it where you want to drill and then sandwich it with the other half of wood, then hit the top part of the wood with a mallet and it'll make a mark to drill a hole in both sides! Love the videos guys keep it up!

[@justmutantjed]

10:31 - In this case, I think it's less the heat and more moisture, which causes the wood to swell up just a bit. I read a similar life-hack that said to just put a couple drops of water on the affected wood, and then when it's soaked up, sand it back to flush.

PSA: do not use the magnet hack or other magnetic screwdrivers and similar when you are working with circuit boards, laptop, other computer-y stuff. Data storage works by assigning polarity to a thing and magnets disturb that. This means that you can delete the data on a drive, be it solid state or 'conventional', by placing a magnet on it. Circuit boards can be very delicate also, and you can easily ruin the things by being clumsy with a magnet, also static electricity is not your friend when working with such things... which is really sucky, because having a magnet with those tiny screws would be so great ... This does not have to be a problem, but it can be and since tech can be stupid expensive, it would be really sad to ruin a thing because of that.

[@stokhosursus]

Well, yes and no... A lot of drives are magnetically shielded up to a point; otherwise, you’d wipe your hard drive just by carrying your laptop in and out of some buildings with magnetic security gates. Since the screws are generally very tiny, it wouldn’t require a strong magnetic field to hold onto the screw. In fact, there are some computer repair kits that come with magnetized screwdrivers and such. Is it safer to avoid magnets completely around computers? Sure! However, if you know what you’re doing and are careful, you’ll be fine. 🙂

[@idlewildwind]

Pros trying to strip screws be like "???" My noob ass, having been forced to use only three (3) different screwdrivers for all sorts of DIY's lately: "My time to shine!!!" No but really, how to strip a screw: you try to screw it in tightly/out from a tight spot using _the wrong size/type_ of manual screwdriver. A flathead in a phillips works best. Put your whole bodyweight into that sucker and _twist_ your worst. Horrendous stripping guaranteed! xD

I love you guys so much! You guys are definitely couple goals! You put so much effort into your videos! Thank you!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

6:32 Katelyn: yeah but no one covers literally the entire project with clamps! Bob "Clamp Champ" Clagett: am i a joke to you?

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

We will never be as much of a Clamp Champ as Bob!

[@Jeffrey400]

The life hacks were fascinating (the ones that worked that is) but I was far more enthralled at how Katelyn put her hair up in a bun without any tools! Bravo Katelyn!

You should try making the most functional desk ever. Incorporate floating shelves/storage held by the desk, create drawers and compact storage areas on the side and under the desk. And maybe incorporate something that slides out of the way to reveal a quark board or chalk board? Make sure to include resin to! If you can incorporate a lightning and cable organization system then that’s brownie points!

Best way to start the weekend, by watching Evan and Katelyn videos (well as much of a weekend there is in quarantine)

[@yoanahristova7322]

When I tell you I absolutely lost it when katelyn fell out of her shoe and got scared 🤣

"If you have a dent in your wood, do it." Great life advice :D

[@billparrish4385]

An alternative to the last one with the line, is to cut the scrap in half, with a good 90-degree crosscut, then hold the two pieces together side-by-side, but with their ends slightly offset from each other. This allows you to easily nestle your drillbit into the vertical inside corner between the end grain of one piece and the side grain of the other. Easier to use than sighting a line, because the bit can actually touch the two vertical surfaces.

For the glue up, you can put a small nail or two on one and then snip the head off. It's worked for me before. Leave the nail with a millimeter or two left. Hope you try it!

[@ExcludedShadow]

An E&K notification never fails to make me drop what I’m doing to watch :)

[@Lily-iv9jh]

Same

[@bea581]

I'm a new sub, but I totally agree. E

[@ThatGeekyMaker]

"The secret to stripping my friends" LOL! It's so funny when Evan innocently says something kinda inappropriate and Katelyn just looks at the camera.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

haha! I think he likes to see what will get a reaction out of me

[@zlocksca]

@@EvanAndKatelyn Evan is very similar to the LockPickingLawyer with his play on words watch any of LockPickingLawyer's April Fools videos to see it in action.

[@AwesomeIndieTurtles]

Omg for number six the first thing that popped into my head was "screwbricant"

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

haha that is perfect

[@Raquor]

I’ve not used salt but I have used sand and it worked great! You only need a very small sprinkling to do the trick and the plus side with sand is you can see it! Just takes a dozen grains to give enough grip to not slide around anymore.

[@audrisadventures6050]

I’m so happy for you guys you raised one million dollars 💵!♥️

[@FernandezF13]

I just love hearing Evan screaming out “I’m to good of a stripper!”

You HAVE To 3-D print some cat eats and stick on some googly eyes on the steamer! Like if u agree!

[@narphie7012]

Oh when he said "this whole life hack thing has got me feeling really salty" on the salt hack that didn't work was hilarious.

[@ItsDaisySofia]

I've definitely used the rubber band hack to take apart my earlier projects with stripped screws! It didn't work on all of them but it saved me so if you need to take out stripped screws, you definitely at try it

[@sofiatgarcia3970]

Again, as a cabinetmaker for over 30 years, I've often used steam in many projects. To remove dents in wood I use a wet rag and an old iron. Virtually, every woodshop has an iron in it. The steamer should work fine too. Another trick I use, if I have time, is to drape a wet cloth, (white , clean cotton is best), and go for coffee. It can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour without the heat.

[@RosieGamgee]

now i totally want to see a workbench built for katelyn's height. that would be so romantic for a couple of makers.
