Woodworking Tips That Save Time & Headaches

[@zacharyapple8526]

I would love to hear your CFO talk about the new tarrifs that might be put in place and how it could effect your business. I enjoy seeing the business side of things! Love ya guys!

[@WyrmLyfe]

Great idea! Will do!

[@ScytheNoire]

I don't think the dumbass will put the tariffs in place, it was all bullcrap talk from a moron. He'll claim the threat of tariffs was enough. Last time when he put tariffs on it was devastating to farmers and they had to spend hundreds of billions to bail out farmers. It's like building "the wall" where they only got a few miles built, less than the previous president. Same with the mass deportation lies, they'll round up a few thousand people and claim victory.

[@ninjunc]

I too love the business details. Be sure to cross-reference any cost of production impact (positive or negative) with actual business volume, though. For example, if your raw production cost went up due to tariffs, but other economic factors allow more customers to buy, the net effect is positive. If costs go up and the economy still sucks (like it has for 4 years), then we're looking at a net negative.

[@ScytheNoire]

@@ninjunc So you think wages will go up under Republican rule? The party that has been keeping wages low for decades. You actually drank the Kool-Aid and been ignoring the facts of what has actually been happening. Corporate profits are at an all time high while people are paying more and actual inflation is at 2%. Huh, why are prices so high then? Oh right, because companies raised the prices during the pandemic when there were supply chain issues, and then kept the prices high so they could earn more profits at the suffering of consumers. Greedflation.

[@dealbreakerc]

Any of their domestic wood supply would be unaffected by any chance in tariffs. However, any wood (or hardware) that gets imported would be more expensive

[@jasonfeiner]

"Tips n' Tricks" Wyrmwood eps might be the new move. Fun to watch, with people we all already feel like we know personally, and not too much pre-production needed. Great idea, keep 'em coming! Reminds me of some season one and two kind of vibes.

[@PeruvianHeadShrinker]

Would also love to see business tips n trick too! I think watching a Startup Vlog if the most compelling offering for WL. There's literally NOTHING like it on the internet. And all those business folks got lots of cash to burn (usually you start a company AFTER you've made bucks--like Doug and his BTC xD )

[@dack981]

Would love for this to be a recurring episode, say once a month or something as "filler"! Not much planning, easy edits. Maybe even spread out who gets asked--would be interested to hear from the marketry people especially, I'm sure there's lots of helpful tips and tricks for the really fiddly bits of woodworking!

[@AnarKvril]

I love these types of episodes showing the team being experts in the field. Sometimes the typical drama / comedy storylines don’t really convey that. I’d also love to see the PA staff participate in a few similar episodes.

[@jcadult101]

Kudos to Doug for keeping a straight face while saying "bang it out" so many times. Can we get that on a T-shirt?

[@LabTech41]

He's got 5 kids, it's safe to say he's worn out that phrase plenty long ago.

[@mtgemperor]

A woodworking class with Wyrmwood sounds awesome. You get traditional and contemporary style woodworking knowledge there.

[@Dgow23]

Woodworking 101 with Wyrmwood. Love it!

[@jazzeejax5816]

Johnny's were great. I build furniture as a hobby and I learned something so I'm happy

[@Syncuno]

Please please please more of this!!! For those of us who wanna get into woodworking like myself it’s very cool to hear from some of the best in the business like you guys definitely are. Huge fan of your work and products!

[@sklinger]

You definitely need to do more of these!!!

[@Comicsluvr]

I'm going to be watching this one a LOT! Great tips! I wish to add one to Doug's tip that I use: Instead of feeling the airflow on the shopvac exhaust, tape a piece of wide ribbon to the top so the exhaust causes it to flutter. Now you can visually check the air flow. When the ribbon flutters less, time to clean the filter.

[@WyrmLyfe]

Oh, that's pretty good.

[@EndLess1UP]

MORE OF THIS PLEASE

[@emilnilsson7204]

Banger Tips!

[@JasonSexton2010]

I've watched every single episode. I just want to say - Johnny is my favorite.

[@tosteson1]

These are really great

[@The.Crystal.Clods.]

Awesome episode! Seeing the process for making cambered cauls was great in particular. And Doug’s shopvac exhaust trick

[@usaevo8]

I really like this content. Learning stuff.

[@henryhurlin7511]

i absolutely love the cambered cauls and im gonna make some tomorrow.

[@pink_nicola]

I’ve definitely used Ian’s method when what I’m measuring is too wide for my ruler, but not in years, this was a good reminder ☺️

[@schwigs]

Great tips by all three! I use the Ian method regularly. I've heard the one from Johnny before, but not the clever marking I/O part, so I'm gonna use that. And Doug's is just a simple trick that I hadn't thought of before, but makes so much sense I'll be using it daily

[@matthewderezinski7725]

Would be great to see more of the tips videos for woodworking. Nice insight!

[@51polarlax]

I legit have been woodworking for 5 years, seen all the videos and what not. I'm very impressed that these are actual tips I have never seen before. Also y'all need to get bag filters for those shop vacs.

[@dack981]

Ian: CALCULUS! Everyone else: Arithmetic?

[@johnvarone94]

thx matt. more o this plz

[@sindex]

Ian's "I hate math" tip was excellent because it's practical for pros and hobbyists alike. Johnny's tips were for the more experienced woodworker, but great tips to build into. Doug was all about efficiency in your work, and I'd expect no less. Good shit all around - something for everyone.

[@SchmidtymeTimbers]

Missed y'all on Tuesday and Thursday🥲

[@ninjunc]

I love that other woodworkers out there prefer to physically manipulate objects into place (hone in on it) than do math. Thank you Ian. I feel seen.

[@GWDuch]

It's crazy how many people say they hate math but what they mean is: I was traumatized by algebra in highschool. The way Ian found the middle point asked a deeper mathematical understanding than simply using algebra.

[@Leviathan9173]

This episode is just mental algebra and it is so interesting seeing how people do math without doing math.

[@ScytheNoire]

Didin't know we'd be getting Shop Vac Tips with Doug.

[@WyrmLyfe]

A surprise for everyone truly.

[@grevari1772]

Never going to forget the day Doug taught us how to bang things out and feel the suction properly.

[@bluesaysnope6289]

Would be a cool video if it was mixed in with daily episodes. But this, as my stand alone wyrmlife video for the week just kind of leaves me wanting more

[@d_dave7200]

I like the cambered cauls, just because it's something I wouldn't have thought of myself in a million years. Everything else might have occurred to me.

[@ThesecretL]

Top tip, use metric. Makes measuring make sense

[@StuckoTu]

Tip and trick, some shop vacs have a special button on top, which redirects the air so that instead of pulling air through the filter it pushes it out and cleaninn the filter.

[@nSnowCrow]

Some shopvacs have also an auto-shake function to hit the filter after each use. Loud as hell but they safe a lot of work and protect the user from the dust.

[@surlycanadian]

guess trial and error it three times over the course of a minute (based on all of the cuts), or figure out how to divide something by 2 (it’s basically 2 7/8ths, give or take the thickness of the pencil lead). What a tip. There are slide rules that do this, which list the half number for every measured increment. Second, there are Center finders that are cheaper than that combination square. Or use a woodworking calculator app if you really need assistance. The real tip is switch to metric. 5 11/16ths might take 10 seconds to divide by two, but 144mm takes about half a second

[@markmccallum1765]

I like Johnny in side out side. I would have saved A LOT of time... lol

[@hardwearjunkie]

"And I didn't have to do math." *Ian proceeds to do math.*

[@CraigAWSellars]

No Math method wins as it is universally useful. Inside/Outside is next and, side note for those without a jointer, inside/outside also works with a table saw, but it is up/down.

[@Tankonme]

day #32 doug v me card throwing event letssss goooo =)

[@tank7737]

Where have y'all been?

[@devincheeseman3867]

Ya know that episode of Rick and Morthy with "true level". I bet the WW guys could find that.

[@DividedStates]

First part is an argument for the metric system.

[@xyzcreate]

What happened to the older YARR episodes? I went to rewatch them after finishing this video and they weren't there.

[@WyrmLyfe]

All the Yarr episodes are in a playlist right here! kzbin.info/aero/PLTTimCsxs6JtjyLKsRIB5seRbVJ6s1zb1&si=qCVfUTnX9QdjVbEC We’ve got a lot of curated playlists!

[@grunt12g]

This is where metric helps compared to sae. dealing with decimals is so much easier then fractions

[@mixdeals]

You guys should build a nice high quality chess board or table

[@whitey211]

No need for the inside/outside thing on the jointer! When you line them up and draw your shape simple fold them together like you're closing a book and run them through the jointer at the same time like that. It doesn't matter what angle your fence is at they will mate perfectly. GEOMETRY!

[@jaekamei]

The tip that sucked was my favourite.

[@WyrmLyfe]

nice

[@adamrowell1588]

"Dont do math" proceeds to use math, but not numbers.

[@nekrekab]

Inside Outside

[@chrismoore6359]

As a lover of woodworking and teacher of science (including some math), I respect and see the math aversion every work day. But I have a couple of things to add. First, using these tips that require less math are often *more accurate* because of the precision and decreasing chance of a math error. That is more important to me than hating doing math. (Sometime, to be sure, I hate dealing with the arithmetic.) But second, it's not the fault of math that we hate it: it's bad teaching practices. There's some good literature on why math is so polarizing (at least here in the U.S.), and it seems like it's the tradition of poor teaching and not the subject itself. I write in defense of math because it can be incredibly empowering and beautiful.

[@fredmyers503]

How did we not get a And if it is clogged the suction will suck. . . .

[@APaganPerspective]

so do we get anymore wyrmlyfe

[@NV-xw5ok]

Surprised their number 1 tips and tricks isn’t to subscribe.

If I had to use the imperial system, i wouldn't want to calculate anything either

[@Unclebillyr]

8:22 Don’ try this theory on your girlfriend or wife

[@zacosness1095]

I can't help but feel like ya'll have lost whatever it was you had that made this enjoyable to watch.

[@Smajtastic]

And you're still here

[@GraemeElliott]

could make it easier and do Metric, example 32.5cm is 16.25 simples

[@LoudApeNation]

Hey Doug…thats what she said….I’ll see myself out…

[@ScytheNoire]

Finding the middle is so much easier if you just measure in metric. It's 220 mm, so draw your center line at 110mm, and boom, done. Americans and their fractions are so silly. Always making life harder than it needs to be. In America water freezes at 32 F and boils at 212 F, instead of just using 0 C and 100 C. Silly Americans.

[@HandlebarWorkshops]

But what if it's 221 mm? There is no 110.5 mm mark on a ruler. And who cares what temps water boils/freezes at? That is only relevant to your life when making pasta and ice cubes. 100F and greater is dangerously hot to humans and 0F and less is dangerously cold to humans. That has relevance to my everyday life.

[@Inductable]

The reason Ian hates math is because he's been forced to use the gross imperial system. Embrace the purity of metric, where you can instantly tell if one measurement is bigger than another. *cough* 5/8 and 9/16 *cough*

[@jacobcalhoun3530]

You guys should make a pool table as your next big project

[@M1CK3YL33]

Just the tip? 🤣

[@Mauricio_Castaño]

Make Wyrmlyfe great again, bring back dailys!

[@TheSoling27]

do the math --

[@roberthume2594]

Although I definitely appreciate these types of videos, but did it really take you guys an entire week to make this one. Again, too long between wyrmlife videos. Yes I may be slightly addicted to your videos, that being said, please start feeding your Wyrmlings, we a little hungy.
