Mining for pine, gives new meaning to Deadwood....😂

[@douglasboland7956]

I do the channel lock trick, but on soft wood I also use a putty knife laying flat in between the wood and channel locks 😊

[@peterbarlow8912]

A stiff back broad knife works excellent. I used to have an old heavy gauge deburred electrical box cover for prying against drywall.

[@randsipe224]

Vice grips!

[@rickeyreed5728]

The domino tip made me belly laugh. I’ve been in pain from a recent surgery and I needed that. It hurt to laugh, but it hurt so good!

[@lechatbotte.]

The destruction of the river tape was my absolute favorite video that you’ve made. Ooh sorry I got distracted back to discussing HOLES. Oh my gosh the cemetery scene is epic lol

My mum and dad were a great team . Grandpa was a specialist interior painter and decorator and taught them the trick of the string across the bucket for cleaning the wallpaper paste off the brush . Fortunately they passed the tips and tricks on to me . You just brought back fond memories.

[@ttapion]

Reclaimed pine just under our feet! 👏👏😭 Haven't finished the video yet but the router sled was pretty brilliant. I'm currently looking at you in a "grave". Great wholesome content Jason! Thank you

[@CShellStudio]

I took the day off to mine for pine today! Was super successful. Amazing tip. Even found some nice bone inlays! Super excited about this tip - changed my life.

After 61 years of woodworking I thought “I knew it all.” Thank you for filling in some of the blanks for me. Educational, funny and inspiring - good job.

[@scottmorris4914]

“Knotty” and “Bright idea”, Dad jokes just in time for Gather’s Day. And that was cheating one problem, knots and you got two tips of out it.

[@rustycook3318]

Me too, 60 here and that tip with the two sided tape is brilliant, especially given the simplicity.

[@papadingo]

Love the reclaimed pine. I really enjoy your videos and am passing them to my grandson and his friends who are into woodworking at various levels or yet to be inspired.

[@marchuvfulz]

Absolutely love the headlamp on the sander. Can see other applications for sticking a headlamp on a tool like this. Brilliant!

[@mrb4408]

The best tip for paint cans I’ve seen is to cut the top off of a bottle and slip it over the can and shrink it on with a heat gun. Then just pour out the paint you need and screw the lid back on. GENIUS.

[@raymondbunkofske4702]

The “sander headlight” is a terrific idea. When pulling smaller pneumatic nails they break if you try to pull them out with a channel lock. I’ve had good success holding the nail with a pliers and using a hammer or small bar to lift the pliers straight up. You’re not trying to bend the nail so it doesn’t break and usually comes out quite easily.

[@peterbarlow8912]

A small pair of vice grips makes this trick even easier.

[@scottyno03]

I like the square trick for measuring diameters. But an easy alternative is to just wrap a tape around to measure the circumference and then divide that by 3.14.

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

Love the ice tea and bourbon bottle prank. I need to do that. Water in a vodka bottle is another great one 🤣

[@DukeTrout]

I’m one of the weirdos who like sanding. I love seeing the grain of the wood revealing itself in greater and greater detail. It’s one of the best parts of woodworking.

[@claudinedecarlisle8647]

Thanks!

I love the shenanigans of your videos. It makes your channel MUCH more entertaining, a bit goofy but I like it!

[@johnnyb95678]

Thanks for sharing all the tips and tricks in an entertaining way. I learn something new every time. Thank you!

[@dirtychevyful]

How in the world have tool companies not caught on and made a sander with lights built into it?!? That’s actually a great idea!

[@lesliebauer1248]

Great idea. It took a long time to put it on a light on a cordless drills 😀😉

[@niq872]

i know i use several lamps never thought of putting them on the sander. they are on all other tools why isn't it already

[@tealkerberus748]

They haven't figured out not to put lock-on buttons under the hand of every left-handed woodworker yet, and that's an actual safety issue. Don't hold your breath on them putting lights where you need them

[@FuneralProcession]

[@kickwriteteach2313]

that double sided tape trick is actually brilliant!

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

I've used that trick for aluminum foil tape too!

[@StackworksCustom]

I would add that sanding epoxy (3:45) also causes heat buildup and softens the epoxy. This leads to sandpaper gumming up quickly and wasting supplies.

[@rickysdrywall5288]

That domino tip, while maybe not the best example of fine woodworking, was, in fact, the best example I've seen of using a Domino's Pizza.

[@Phteven865]

Both your router tips were great!!! To get diameter ( 16:48 ), you could wrap a string around to get circumference and divide by pi

[@TheShooter762]

Use blue tape. Works better than string.

[@artyb27]

Isn't there a risk with string that the circumference you're measuring isn't perpendicular to the cylinder's edge, and is therefore longer than the cylinder's true circumference? I guess tape solves that problem since it'll only go on flat.

[@egbluesuede1220]

I normally don't watch tips and tricks videos, because most of them are stupid. But I picked up some good ones here. That tip with the Iced Tea was brilliant!

[@tealkerberus748]

I find the stupid tips and hacks vids are very good for clarifying my thinking about why we don't do it like that.

[@treyreppe4348]

Thanks for the tip with the mini router sled! I needed that for a cutting board so I didn't have to plane down the whole piece again!

[@robertbamford8266]

Some excellent suggestions. I use vise grips instead of channel lock - same effect, grip smaller stubs. Love the rabbet + template hole enlarger. The total boat epoxy filler - new info! Thanks for (most of) the video.

[@doughackett815]

Thanks for all the great tips. The "Pine Mining" was particularly helpful!!

[@amylynn732]

Love your videos! Suggestion for measuring diameter > > measuring tape used for sewing only a couple of bucks at Walmart.

[@dsop66]

Who knew that Dominos were so versatile!!! This is the very reason I watch this channel!!!!😎🤪

[@peterbarlow8912]

Love the sander headlight. We used to use a raking flashlight to detail drywall for repaint. My drywall guy says it’s not flat but the illusion of flat. Like the leaving a tail on peel off backings. With regular tapes I fold the end over to leave a grip tab.

[@Todd-W]

great tips as well and especially like the airstream tip! 🙂 Side note, let's see you do the channel lock / nail trick with a 23ga pin nail! Those damn things drive me nutz!

[@thetoolman3]

Good tips. For pulling smaller nails, or ones that are nearly flush, i like to use end cutting pliers. The sharp jaws grip better, and they have the same rounded shape to lever the nail out. Plus they're wider than channel lock pliers, so they're less likely to dent the wood. Sliding a putty knife under the jaws prevents dents, too.

[@NothingByHalves]

Do love a bit of talent with the right amount of crazy. Thanks for brightening up my Saturday afternoon. 😁

[@brianhawes3115]

Damm I gonna go mine some pine at the park in my neighborhood, heck I rarely see anyone in there, and most of the good stuff has flowers over it! Thanks Jason

[@amos616]

Love both the router tips! Wish I’d known the nut filler trip for when I was doing some outdoor benches too. Those knots for pain in the butt and I definitely did not use the right product for it.

[@mlambert5722]

Measuring tip: Wrap a string around the item you are trying to measure and mark the length. Put that against your tape measure to get the circumference, divide that by pi to get the diameter, and divide that number by 2 to get the radius...

[@agirlandherdogice6857]

I just love your energy!!! You are an amazing human!!!

[@scorpiorysing]

I use System 3 T-88 epoxy for voids. It's structural epoxy that I had left over (had some dry rot outside), but It's viscous and works well for filling things like knot holes in black walnut. It's in 2 containers, resin and hardener, so you only mixup what you need.

[@daveweber1331]

All your careful and thoughtful inclusions in the description on where you got what - and I want to know about the one that ain't there! 😉😜 At 7:53 you're holding a Whiteside set of rabbeting bit and multiple bearings... I've looked everywhere - can't lay eyes on 'em, let alone my greedy little mitts. Pray tell, oh well-endowed one... I meant with router bits, dammit! 🤨🙄😁

[@MrKirby365]

I love your videos and your sense of humor bro

[@ifiwooddesigns]

Some of the most useful tips in a while. Great video!

[@Xktree72]

Lots of good stuff. I've used the channel lock hack for years, it's especially good for taking out nails from baseboards from the back so you don't blow out the front trying to hammer them through.

[@willleskin3360]

@x-gc1xhwhat, pray tell?

[@gerrydenicore3063]

The rubber band on the paint can is a good one. I have found that punching three or 4 holes in the channel around the top of the can allows material to drip back into the can. Works well on gallon cans when product gets trapped in the channel when pouring.

[@edwardjiminez5290]

That’s a great idea!

[@terrysledd769]

Love your whole "learning while entertaining" approach". Picked up a lot of great information while LMAO. Thank you.

[@tealkerberus748]

That trick with the double sided tape is a good one. Also, if you're going to build a home in a vehicle, start with a box truck like a furniture truck. It's all square inside just like normal house building.

[@harperc13]

Have you tried using tailor measuring tape before? Its pretty handy for round items and tight spaces. They are relatively inexpensive and small so they wont take up much space.

[@GrillerGeek]

Old Grand-dad bonded is a fantastic budget bourbon!

[@SteveDurr]

Great video and some new tips that I've not seen before. Thanks Jason and employee :)

[@flguy7331]

Lots of nice tips. 😊 Especially the router sled and the double-sided tape. I use it with aluminum duct tape. The domino substitute was bad... waaaay too much squeeze-out. 😢

[@mikeboyd1067]

Channel locks do great for pulling nails but I've found bull nips as my preference. They tend to mar less because the nips head are broader. Also they don't bend the nail as much, so pulling the nail is straighter leaving less hole and tear out behind. Love your stuff. I am now a committed pizza hole joiner from this day forward.

[@woodandwandco]

That's the best use of Domino's pizza I've seen to date.

[@Danman1972]

That little "router sled" trick for the epoxy is way slick. Great tip

[@GoCreateSomething]

That iced tea in the booze bottle trick was done on old movies a lot. The router sled trick is pretty cool. You could probably clamp a straight piece of wood to a board and use that to make a dado.

[@hdufour]

I’m pretty new to woodworking and I appreciate these tips. I have no plans for a domino- but I’ll say the pliers trick to pull the mail out just saved my bacon today. Ok, pine. I’m cheap. But still super handy! Thanks!

[@rogerhughes-tq7fu]

Another great video dude! I think I have seen them all and this one is just as great as all the rest. Thanks for all the tips. Hope all is well with you and your family!!!

[@srwapo]

Measuring diameters: I bought a tape measure without looking at it too much and it turns out that on the back side it has "inch" dimensions that are 3.1415" apart. You wrap it around whatever, read the number, and you see what the diameter is. It's pretty neat. I don't have much use for it, but I like that it exists.

[@Anguisette]

on a similar note, the forestry industry has "diameter tape" also known as "logger tape" used for measuring the diameter of trees, basically using the same method srwapo described, but thought a few search terms might be helpful for anyone interested

[@seanpatterson1609]

Great tips, and the domino bit was the funniest thing I've seen in your channel.

[@uwishpal]

If the nails are hammered further in the board channel locks will mark up the wood. I stick a putty knife under the channel locks and it works every time. Just a heads up.

[@allcleanenterpise]

You had me in a brief state of shock with the whiskey bottle! Appreciate the tips and tricks

[@kenerickson4923]

I punch holes in the rim groove of paint cans (etc) and the material will drain back inside the can. The lid goes back on and seals the can again. Also no splash when you hammer the lid tight. Especially handy when you pour liquid into another container instead of dipping brush in the can.

[@chancetolbert4852]

The channel lock trick I remember doing when i was 6 years old. My dad and uncle tasked me with pulling nails out of board's to give me something to do for a while and to keep me out of their hair. I had nails with heads too small for the hammer so I started digging in the tool box saw the channel locks and figured I could pull them out. Didn't work, but then i pushed down . Total accidental discovery of a 6 year old turned into one of the best tricks I still use.

[@uneartheros]

Very helpful!! Although I’ve been digging up graves for my reclaimed pine pieces for years…but I’m sure a few of your viewers learned a new way to get that sweet sweet reclaimed pine.

[@nikkafrog]

Where do you mine? Because i have had no luck when I tried mining. I always find it surrounded in something, like paint or resin. I can never find raw pine. Maybe its my location. But i do also seem to find bone nearby. If i am very lucky, gold in what i think is ivory? Always very small amounts tho so almost not worth it. Be careful while mining for pine, tho. It has become very competitive and I have found people like to use emotional tactics to keep their loot. So much crying lately.

[@mattrinne]

I used to do the slip joint pliers for pulling nails. Went to end nippers. More surface to not dent wood. Gets right down to the wood surface for grabbing the nail (pliers might not grab tiny tip well) and has wide head so long nail can pass through the side and you can keep prying. Just dont squeeze grip too hard so it won't cut the nail. I found the Menards tool shop shape to be best and super cheap. I've pried more nails than I'm proud to admit. Its my favorite. Had to weed through quite a few crappy ones to find the best. Not the best machining from the factory.

[@stephendickinson9929]

I also don’t like working with epoxy but I love the results. I’m building patio furniture and I bought some Flex Seal liquid clear and when it works it’s great but I seem to get inconsistencies. I’ve used foam brushes and paint brushes and even rags. I’d love to see how you would apply this better.
