This video summarised: 1. Want to wrap your solder into a spiral for some reason? Drill a hole into a bolt. 2. Can't afford a framing hammer with a magnetic bit holder? Ruin a different hammer which isn't even a claw hammer and put a magnet in it. As a bonus you put the magnet in the wrong place which means it will probably crack after a few uses. 3. Have the wrong sized wall plug for your screw? Don't worry, hold you screw in with hopes, dreams, the over-sized wall plug, and a bunch of silicone. 4. Don't know what dowels are for? Need to hold one in its hole? Don't know about wood glue? Just spend 5 minutes drilling a hole into a dowel and hammering a pop rivet perfectly into the centre of where your dowel needs to go.
Exactly... this video is stupid.. That Hammer thing tho... even the original nail holding Hammer makes no sense... You want your nail to be on the certain spot, if it sticks to the Hammer good luck hitting that exact spot and not be off by an inch or two
Great book for a beginner . ru-vid.comUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.
My thing is why did they destroy that hammer when they had a more modernized version of the hammer that they where going to be destroying it to make it look like???
Yeah my first thought was just get literally the most standard issue hammer and just hold the nail, or alternatively if you really can't afford just a good hammer, attach a part to it instead of fuckin cutting some shit out
@@Lichtstrahl92 They make framing hammers like that. But the notch where the nail head rests is flat. With it curved by the drill that hammer is going to be shooting nails across the room. I hope he works alone.
The fact you were able to easily stretch out that "spring" means either 2 things. Either A) it's just a coil of wire, it's not a spring. Or B) it was a ludicrously low power spring which you immediately caused to fail by pulling it past it's strength point
PFFT, you dont waste expensive silicone caulk. you use painters caulk or Elmers wood glue with some match sticks jammed around the wrong sized plastic anchor
@@trav662 While you are soldering it can be standing in something such as a pill bottle and as you work you can easily uncoil it as needed. Put the cap back on after you are done and you don't have to worry about squishing or kinking it.
I can't help but think if you're competent enough with tools to modify a hammer, you're competent enough to hammer in a nail the regular way without bashing your fingers.
Few people know these tips because they are useless. These are 4 great things you should never ever do. Or 4 great ways to know you should fire your handyman. 1) the spring is compressed and will not work, that is literally just a coil 2) The destruction of a wedge hammer :( .... a claw hammer holds the nail for the first strike on the back. Also, the strength of the wedge hammer has been compromised 3) Gluing a drywall anchor into "anything other than drywall" will fail to hold a load 100% 4) Wooden dowels are not nailed in, use wood glue to form a correct bond. The nail does not increase the strength of the dowel because dowels are hard to twist by themselves but it will fall out of the socket 100%.
3) These anchors exist for concrete walls as well, and there's no need to glue them in, as they spread when the screw is fastened, clamping it in. They're supposed to be that lose at first.
Let the shit set up first, there is a certain glue just for it but I've never used it. Seen it used but I think it was just to help with freezing. I don't know
@@jeremybanks719 'Grab adhesive'. I don't see the tip as that bad: You can use the correct drill bit, drill it straight, and still end up with a hole too large for your plug. I would try to remove the dust from the hole before putting the adhesive in though.
@@user-go8oj4dl4w If you every have a lose anchor, add wood "splinters" inside the hole. When the screw expands the anchor, it will grab and be just as tight.
"I just drilled the wrong sized hole but instead of just letting the wall anchor expand like it was going to anyway I'm going to make it hell for the guy who wants to take this out later."
@@elliotalderson4568 you don’t have to be a smith or a “hammerologiest” to know what a hammer is and what a chisel is, but hey get salty cause you tried to correct someone and got called out on the internet, let’s me chuckle before I go to work.
I literally muttered "I hate you now" when he murdered that poor cross peen SLEDGE hammer to be used with FINISHING NAILS. . . I need to go use someone's nice framing hammer as a slag pick to even the score.
I have mild to basic knowledge of the extreme variety in hammers. I see what he was going for, but my first thought was "damn he just ruined a perfectly good hammer." RIP machinists hammer. Also, didn't know those were called machinists hammers. (just for clarification on my knowledge of hammers LMAO)
@@ownzies100 ah, i know what you mean, using the back end to precisely (well precise for masonry work) break the brick. or kind of something like that.. i have done a couple brick laying jobs before and seen it in action. This did not occur to me until you mentioned it though. I appreciate the spread of your knowledge :D
@@AlexanderTheGreat91only if you’re the creator. There used to be extensions you could use. But now those extensions mainly guess how many dislikes a video has.
Often times you don’t. 90% of the time im using a hammer, its to repair a palette. Don’t care where the nail goes as long as its somewhere within the vicinity of the wooden block underneath it
another fun fact: glueing a dowel into a hole that is to big just cancels the whole purpose of it. thats why you always drill one size below dowel size so it will fit perfectly.
Nah, it's a hammer, this is a very popular pattern in east EU and all the former USSR. It's usually referred as a "metalworker hammer" or a "bench hammer" (for metal bench work). It's a pattern to be found in every tool box out there, because apparently in those parts of the world masonry is more popular than carpentry, so finding a claw hammer is quite a quest.
The hammer is made to hold the nail for your first swing. So you don’t have to modify a hammer you wouldn’t use for any nails required in home improvement, just to get the perfect drive
I doubt you have ever handled tools properly or made anything out of wood if you think this is a good idea. When you use this kind of hammer you will likely not be able to put the nail in the right position and angle.
One can make spring like that but usually it needs to be on the drill press or lathe to get it working properly and be safe.. Also you need high carbon wire like piano wire for that.
Man, I’ve always wanted an even more dangerous way to hammer my nails into wood! I was getting too comfortable with the idea of keeping my eyes after working on a table
There's an Aussie company that used to make a claw hammer with spring loaded balls set into the claws. So your first hit was backwards to seat the nail then you turn the hammer. The nail was set well in and there was no danger of it flying out.
@@skylined5534 professional carpenter here! Dowels are designed to expand when in contact with glue. (Not all types though. Regular old wood glue works best. The pin was not needed.
I'm not a metalsmith I am a Maker here's my take: 1. Random bolt, I need my solder in a spiral. 2. I have a claw hammer, so I ruin a metalwork hammer with a grinder without a guard and some CA glue with a magnet to hammer finish nails in a stray board so I can hang it on the wall. 3. Drill the wrong size hole in the wrong location for a bunch of liquid nails to hold an undersized piece of crap wall anchor for a random bracket. Probably to hold my chunk 'o wood that I hammered random finish nails in.
The real value of presetting the nail in the hammer is that at times you can’t reach where you’d set the nail by hand - I know I’ve experienced that problem. Not with a sledge or a tack hammer but with a framing hammer and it could happen with a trim hammer but rarely.
ah yes completely ruin the face of a cross-peen hammer, all you need is a $50 drill/driver, a $10 drill bit, a $75 grinder and wheel, and $5 magnet and glue... or just go buy the $20 brand new framing hammer with the magnet already installed and save yourself time in the process. 6/9 score "lifehack tip"
Beauty part is there's already cheap plastic nail holders - usually costs about a buck. Or use a wooden spring loaded clothespin. Or a pair of needle-nose pliers. The only way you can screw up and hit yourself in the hand with a hammer is because you got cerebral palsy.
@@delanorrosey4730 hah yea that too, or you know just give it a light tap to start just to get the tip in and then hit it harder to sink it, many ways available
I wish there was a button to block all videos like this from all content creators. 90% of this is useless, 50% will ruin whatever project you are working on and 25% are downright dangerous.
for anyone who is thinking about doing the hammer "tip", don't... That is an easy way to turn it into a shrapnel producing tool... Trust me you don't want to hammer with that and hit it on one of the spots that you drilled into as it will crumble off and best case scenario hit the board...
1-That first thing is a bent piece of wire, not a spring. 2- That cross-pin hammer is not for nails. 3-Get the right size bit 4- The dowel with a rivet in it- why?
When a plastic plug just wants to slip through its hole into a void behind, reach for a toothpick and use it to wedge it in place. Works like a charm. As for the other tips, enough's already been said!
