Secret Tips the Woodworking Pros Won't Tell You

Woodworking Pros and Journeymen Carpenters always have a bag full of little tricks they use for more accurate and quicker builds, which they will seldom volunteer because they use them so often, they forget they even use them ... like a more accurate miter saw cuts, unconventional woodworking techniques for better finishing results, unscrambling table leg positions and thinking ahead to what best topcoat finish to apply for less distracting wood joinery issues.

You are very generous. Finding someone who is ready to give to community and comes to KZbin with this mindset is really rare today.

[@treggliebler6237]

Thankyou for giving back to the wood working community with your videos and especially your free virtual meetings. It's SO important that we share our knowledge and pass it down to our younger generation! Bless you!

[@georgedavall9449]

Awesome! This Man is a wealth of knowledge, and presented in a professional and no nonsense manner. This is what KZbin is all about, or should be. Keep ‘me coming, Colin! Thanks! Stay safe and Heathy! 👍😁🇺🇸

[@alcamerc9923]

Tip from my father decades ago: “Know where your fingers are at all times.” Best I ever heard. I still can count to ten on my fingers! LOL!

[@HamidKhan-po1px]

I love the way you teach and laugh... You are such a beautiful soul and of course an expert in your field

[@KennethLRubenstein]

Colin, That was one of the best and simplest group of hints. Please do more.

[@coreygrua3271]

I’ve been watching for years now and Colin always says “thanks for watching.” He recognizes that when we watch we are giving him the gift of our time. In return we get the gift of his very valuable experience. The border between Canada and the US (or any other country) quickly dissolves in a time like this. And...what a nice offer to Zoom with a group for free. That’s one of many reasons these videos are so delightful. Pure knowledge shared with pure intent.

[@compton2966]

I've been into wood working for 30+ years and I have honestly learned so much helpful stuff from you that has really changed my love and skills to make me a much better carpenter

[@IsaKocoglu]

You had me at “Free” Good on you Collin! God bless!

[@kashel83]

That last tip for the legs is great! I will definitely start using it. Thank you very much

[@randallmacdonald4851]

Not that I did't believe you, but I just had to pause the video and go write on my shop table with a pencil and test your alcohol trick. That was so awesome. Thanks Colin.

[@lynnmclemore1140]

Thank you Colin. You have such a wonderful presentation and great attitude towards the beginner, intermeddite, and advanced wood worker. Always helpful.

[@huskygam3r909]

Im new to the whole wood working thing and i'm glad that i stumbled upon the video's of colin, thanks for all of the tips that i've already implemented! Love your work and love your video's. Hope we can enjoy them for many years to come. Stay good, stay healthy, god bless!

[@JimSollows]

I’ve been woodworking for 30 yrs and I still learn new things .. thanks Colin! 👍

[@stephennadworny8401]

Hi Colin. I'm a hobby woodworker, at best, but appreciate the versatility of wood, a renewable resource, and the satisfaction of solving problems associated with the woodworking process, not to mention the finished product. I have viewed a number of your videos posted of the last 5 to 10 years and appreciate your genuine content. I also want to commend you for your willingness to further contribute to the world of woodworking. Well done and thank you!

[@hansdegroot8549]

Great tips again. Thanks for sharing. I really like the light-dark wood combination to hide gaps.

[@dtork47]

Great tips as always, never to old to learn! Thanks again and stay Safe and cheers from MT

[@Water_Rat]

Thanks very much for these tips! The tip for marking leg orientation is just what I needed to see at this time for a coffee table base I am building. As in all the videos from you I’ve seen, I appreciate your knowledge and clear explanations. You are a great teacher!

[@steveiv9250]

Awesome channel Colin, Thank-you for all your videos, I find myself referring to them quite often. the alcohol trick was awesome and a real time saver. Cheers

[@thomashverring9484]

Brilliant! Thank you, Colin.

[@somebody4578]

I recently discovered this channel when i am looking for something else and i am watching a few videos everyday. I am not even woodworker but his knowledge and big positive smile made me into the woodworking. I wish one day i can set up a place to try all of things he thought. Thanks for all the time and effort to make these videos. 🙏😊

[@grahamserle7930]

Colin you are such a beautiful giving soul who is making a real difference in this world. I salute you.

[@the80s365]

He's definitely the grandfather I never had.

[@charlietube7165]

Damn right we need way more people like this...

[@davidlang9040]

Love Colin's tips. The mountain he describes I've always known as the carpenter's triangle. It would also work on the legs.

[@jim77004]

Yup, he's a sweet heart.

[@hilaryknight934]

What a lovely man you are. I wish I knew someone like you in the UK. I learn a lot of tips from watching your videos apart from what you are actually teaching x

[@Terkinstein]

I love the table leg markings so simple. And as you imply, foolproof.

[@Sooz3112]

Helpful, thanks. I particularly like the marking method on the legs...great idea - thanks x

[@lloydlee6643]

I used your marking system recently when I made a Jay Bates workbench. It worked great to maintain the position and orientation of the legs . I will be using it from now on. Thanks Colin

[@topquark6919]

Top Bloke! Really enjoyed the video, much appreciated.

[@1958linedancer]

Great Tips Colin as usual, thanks for sharing

[@JDKaye]

Great tips. Thanks, Colin!

[@chrisengland5523]

He's one of the best - practical, straightforward and easy to follow. There's no cheesy music, which forces me to turn the sound off and the subtitles on and he's safety conscious too, without being overboard about it.

[@eddaeges9309]

Colin, such simple points but can make a big difference and easier. Thank you.

[@nitram1491]

[@paulpringle8263]

I think the 1 2 3 4 with the the lines for the legs simple but so useful. Brilliant tip thanks Colin.

[@UmeshChettri]

Never thought of marking the legs with lines, it is the best tip I have received. Thankyou.

[@slappymcslapster8845]

I am pretty new to this woodworking thing even though I'm a bit on the older side but I just love this guy so much. Not only am I learning so much about woodworking there is something about his voice and his demeanor that is so incredibly calming. I hesitate saying what I'm about to say because I don't want anyone to take it the wrong way. But when I am trying to go to sleep at night and I just can't for whatever reason I feel like I could turn on one of his videos and listen to his voice and it would just calm me down and put me right to sleep! THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT I THINK HE IS BORING. Quite the opposite. I really don't know any other way to explain it.

[@flix4u]

More of hundred of GR8 tips- thanx!

[@johnroth8275]

So appreciate your gifts to us.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Thanks for the knowledge, Colin !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Lazarus-aap]

Those are all very good tips, Colin! I always mark the waste side of the line with an X, but that just works for me. Also, when I am working on multiple pieces that have to go back in the same order, I mark them with 1 triangle drawn over them, with the base line from side to side and the side lines from the edge of the base line to the top middle, wether I'm working on two pieces, or more. And when I have tops and bottoms, or even left and right groups, I'll draw a second line underneath the base line, or along the side, left or right, depending on where they should go. Very helpful video, thank you! And I also think it is really nice of you to offer your presence and knowledge through video calling! You're the best

[@tinatipps5042]

Great ideas! Thank you for sharing

[@clemmcguinness1087]

LOVE the 1234 technique. As always, thanks Colin

[@ming1426]

[@stephanieray6587]

Good stuff, Colin, as usual!

[@stargazer2042]

This helps me so much. Thank you!

[@kennethgonzales82]

These are the best tips I have ever seen put together. I am an experienced wood worker and even I found value in each and every one of these tips. Well done Sir!

[@katherineablett728]

I love the leg numbering truck! So clever. Thanks as always for all your great advice. As a beginner woodworker it’s invaluable.

[@vashon100]

More tips and trucks

[@bobby-c7731]

I love the hash marks trick for marking legs. Thanks!

[@klg1216]

As always, great info. 1,2,3,4 seems so easy but the lines tip is a lot like the "mountain" tip for jointing. Thank you.

[@robertarnobit5357]

Great tip Colin, thank you 👍👍
