GREAT FREAKING VIDEO!!!!! No bs, no longwinded history, just the info we came for with some examples.

@amchanging 3 года назад

This was so helpful! I am a novice and just do little projects for myself. I don’t have a lot of fancy tools and don’t build enough things to warrant buying some of these things. But you show me how to totally make this work, thank you!

@coppertopjohnson9782 3 года назад

Glad to see someone who takes the time to instruct viewers on the basics. Love seeing redo projects, building projects, but seeing things like how to countersink screws is something us novices need to know. Great job. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe.

@TheFixerHomeRepair 3 года назад

Coppertop Johnson that is awesome to hear. Thank you for the feedback. I will keep making them if you keep watching them!! Thanks again!

You should always drill a pilot hole regardless of wood. Minute cracks expand with time, moisture, weather, mold, etc. Why have one? No cracks. Excellent video. No BS intro, no music, to the point, great visuals, what joy! Very useful info. I have these but forgot how to use them. Thank you for a great demo! Subscribed.

Thank you! I'm doing a project where I need to countersink into cherry wood. You are clear, concise, and easy to understand.

@stereos182 3 года назад

Ny dad bought me a set of these. Ryobi brand cause that's all they had. I told him every time I build something out of wood, it splits on me all the time. Thank you so much for the well detailed video! I have confidence that these bits will help me immensely.

@TheFixerHomeRepair 3 года назад

Thanks for the video, I've been doing different construction projects with my dad for ages, but I never really learned finer techniques to improve my skills. I decided to restore an old machete my father's had for years as a gift. Sanded it, and the handle was dry rotted so I'll be making a new one using this to keep the bolts hidden.

Thanks for this video. I bought a large Dewalt bit set more than 20 years ago. I still have them. I don't use them often. It has countersink bits in it. I never touched them. I didn't know what they were for. I didn't even know what they were called. Now I know.

That was great ! I really appreciate your time and advice ! I’m not a novice just lazy to some of the finer points of woodworking … ‘close enough is good enough’ 🙄 But now that I’m retired and attempting to complete various projects, I would like the finish project to look more presentable. And your video has gone a long way in helping me raise my standards 👍

@KellyBurnett138 2 года назад

Thank you for this video! I never would have thought to check if the screw head would fit BEFORE you screw the actual screw in..hahaha! This video is probably very elementary wood shop education, but for those of us who never had that training…thank you.

@doughaber3330 2 года назад

There is much more to counter sinking. There are better bits to use, and also ways to avoid tear out. Keep looking at other videos. I'm not in a position to make a channel yet but one day I will. This video would be considered, very basic and not advanced. It is much appreciated though. I will give one tip though. Clamp your work down and make several tests on scrap the same you are using for your nice project. Repeat and practice 3 or 4 times befor drilling into the real thing. Some bits will really bore in fast and you'll drill to China. Do t forget to set your cluch while doing your tests and consider using a hand screwdriver for the final screwing. You won't regret it!

@bperkins684 Год назад

@susanashton1290 Год назад

Thankyou. I"m a novice on a learning curve using power tools. Have countersink bits but wasn't sure how to use correctly.And using the larger drill bit is so logic, but l never thought of it.

@webdev477 Месяц назад

Thanks, really comprehensive video

@kristinanoall Год назад

So helpful! When you just brought out the larger bit as an alternative, I thought “🤦🏼‍♀️ why didn’t I think of that?!” I’ll be fixing some very unprofessional-looking drawer fronts. Thank you!

@mannyregalado7167 2 года назад

This is great stuff. I've seen some reverse the screw in initially and then in the correct direction but it doesn't come out as when done properly as you showed.

@Pyxe_ZA Год назад

Thanks for that last tip. I always use those screws, but counter sink anyway coz sometimes those little raised bits are basically blunt and doesn't do anything

@itsagundam79 Год назад

This was really cool! Love the alternative ways added too. Took me awhile to remember the word countersinking. Curious if a Forstner bit could also work for countersinking? Picked up a set for 1 project years ago and haven't used it since, makes me wonder if I could have saved the $10 on the countersink set.

@georgiapeach7291 3 года назад

@The Fixer I never knew there were those kinds of bits. Christmas ideas. Yes, already, lol. I have to get ahead of my husband and he really loves tools and cool gadgets that he can use.Can you maybe do a video on some more cool gadgets tool related? He has every Husky bag there is and is a Ryobi guy too. Even his yard tools are Ryobi. Any gadgets phone related, yard work related, flashlights, anything, lol. I would really like to wow him. Thank you SO much for your very informative video's. I always, always learn something new and I do use tools. 🤗❤

Hey Georgia Peach! I will keep that in mind. I was actually considering doing a “gift ideas for the DIYer” this year! Thanks for checking out the video!!

Do the construction screws eliminate the hardwood splitting at the end of the boards, especially when you're trying to countersink the head? Thanks for the videos! Love your work!

Can you give me advice on what set of counter sink bits you would recommend? I loved this video and it was perfect for beginners and easy to follow.

you should mention which countersink bit size is proper for counter sink screw size, like how a machinist would do it. I hate doing things trial and error and eyeballing.

@HeliRy Год назад

Now I don’t feel like such a knob for not knowing I could adjust the depth on my bit lol. And was I correct in assuming a #8 countersink bit is for #8 screws?

@user-md9dd1cr1n Месяц назад

There is another bit called a countersink bit . It’s just a short bit that drills just the counter part of the hole … you didn’t show that . I want to get a set but now I Don’t know if I should get the ones that have the drill included or just the short bits that only cut out the sunken part . Should I get both ? Seems like the ones with the drill attached will save time ?
