You could just protect the work piece by hot gluing two thin wooden blocks on each side of the corner to serve as contact areas for the sharp points. When you're done, wet the blocks with some isopropyl alcohol and the hot glue will peel right off. You can also use double sided tape instead of hot glue.

[@FranksWorkbench]

clever idea!

[@DawgsChamp88]

Soooo brilliant 👏! Thank you. I do love his spline trick if spines are desired.

[@mikeandlucky]

Thanks Frank. I am relieved to know that I am not the only woodworker that hates those band clamp things. Never ever could get those frustration makers to work correctly and thought it was just me. Look forward to trying the spring clamps.

[@jimfromri]

Yup, those little spring clamps are amazing. I’ve used them for years. I like your saw kerf trick. Hadn’t thought of that. Very clever!

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thanks 👍

[@TWC6724]

Love me some spring clamps.

[@jennessalynam7682]

I've seen you use those little clamps in a few of your videos and I thought they were pretty cool and looked like they were easy to use. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on them.

[@FranksWorkbench]

They're pretty awesome IMO!

[@matthew4878]

I bought some of those things recently. Haven't used them yet but I'm glad I made the right choice.

[@FranksWorkbench]

I think you will like them!

[@awantamta]

Great video

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thanks!

[@jeremyparker1706]

I have heard that you can take dents out of wood with water and a hot iron. I wonder if you can iron out the dimples??

[@philaandrew100]

Hahahaha.. Cheeky bugger. 2 X 4 isn't that expensive here in Australia if you know where to buy it🤣

[@FranksWorkbench]

Haha 😂

[@JimmyMacTavish]

From Australia also. Have black market kidney will trade for 2X4’s 😜

[@funnyguy55able]

i was waiting for the "clink my affiliate link below to purchase" like most youtubers now who basically just film commercials for stuff they want to push. It did not come and i am not disappointed. Thank you for simply bringing a new trick to the audience and not just being a salesman.

[@MCsCreations]

Excellent video, Frank! Thanks for the tip! 😃 Just do not mess with Australians... Have you ever seen their bugs??? If you say "Hello there" around there they jump at you with lightsabers in their... hands... Whatever. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@FranksWorkbench]

😂 thanks you too

[@fabricemenoud3296]

J'en ai vu étant enfant, mon père faisait ses propres cadres pour ses toiles, pour les photos...et il avait ça Ça fait des souvenirs qui remonte et surtout je ne savais pas ce que c'était car je ne l'ai jamais vu faire 😁

[@guillaumederugy]

Bonjour Sauriez-vous comment cela s’appelle en français ? J’aimerais bien essayer et une traduction littérale (« pince à ressort ») ne renvoie rien d’interessant

[@richragan4810]

Just purchsed Frank and subscribed.

[@kodoan411]

I think it's really wonderful how Ed Norton has jumped into woodworking after all of his success with movies like Fight Club...

[@csehszlovakze]

3:20 meanwhile in Hungary: this but unironically (good wood is more expensive than steel!)

[@VinceEspositoJr]

I was starting to wonder if only I know about these. I have met journeyman carpenters who were unaware of them.

[@Myrkskog]

I think my dislike for mitres stems from strap clamps. I made a threaded rod 4-way clamp like the Veritas thing which works better as I can tighten each corner, but it's not smooth or quick. I may invest in a spring clamp set up now.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Sounds like a nice set up! the spring clamps are quick and handy for sure

[@thijspluis9998]

Unrelated question. Why do you say you have to sharpen every time you used the shooting board?

[@FranksWorkbench]

Planing end grain is pretty tough on plane blades

[@memilanuk]

Nifty... but bring back the ASMR / silent build videos. At least a few.

[@JakeSpeed1000]

I just don't like the holes they put in my work piece. Not an issue with a project that will be painted. Just fill the holes, sand and paint. But on a fine piece of stained and polished furniture, those holes will bug me forever.

[@PMichaels]

Well said… I came here to make the same point. The function is good but the result isn’t. If it isn’t going to be painted, there’s no way to fix those and even if it is painted, it’s going to be a PITA to deal with.

[@FranksWorkbench]

You could spline it like I demonstrate to eliminate it, otherwise filling the hole with hide glue and fine sawdust works a lot better with an oil or clear finish than pva glue+sawdust

[@JakeSpeed1000]

@@FranksWorkbench This absolutely has a placebo I have never been able to cover up the holes on a stained part. Filling the holes helps but it doesn't solve the problem. Works great on a painted project.

[@bobweiram6321]

Look at my comment for preventing the tiny holes.

[@DonsWoodies]

You've got to be kidding
