Is Glue Stronger Than Wood? No! 

I don’t even have a garage let alone any tools. I just enjoy watching this passionate old dude talk about glue and shit

@@collisw8302real

But you are pretty lousy right?

Mood

**Shits myself**

You don't understand how much respect I have for this man. Where I live, the trade is dying out and we desperately need more professionals. But the paygrade of carpenters and cabinetmakers doesn't encourage new young people to get into carpentry.

​@@Locked717it's impossible to make a career out of

@@nikolasvahrusev8407 My career is as a cabinetmaker, so I don't see your point.

Yeah, but not so good that he couldn't build him pure and sinless! Dang, we're all doomed.

@@jacko4483 well according to the fairy tales god himself couldn't make people sinless, so what hope did he really have?

Thanks for saying.

It is even more beautiful when you get that he is not using layman's terms, yet it is so well explained that looks like it is not technical at all.

​@@wolfvash22this is extremely basic stuff that anyone with a high school level understanding of crafting should be able to figure out on his own

@@manuelp7472 There was only a couple of workshop classes at the school I went to, they were not required classes. Other than that I have no memory of ever learning anything about carpentry or any other trade while in highschool. Just because something is 'basic' does not mean it doesn't need to be taught/learned.

@@manuelp7472 You should also be able to figure out computer programming on your own, everyone working on BBC microcomputers in the 80s did. You're still going to use actual training sources if you ever did try to learn it. Or maybe you wouldn't, I don't know how the "I despise everyone who doesn't figure everything out on their own without help" brain works.

@@manuelp7472 basic stuff it may be, but to be delivered in 59 seconds, so clearly and enthusiastically, is really why the presenter is getting so much kudos in these comments. I have plenty of education, but I didn't know this information, google pointed me here and it was an excellent way to spend a minute.

You might need it someday

He's teaching concepts. Concepts help us find solutions to all kinds of problems, even outside of their original context. This is some genuinely great content.

Sounds like you're the type to work your own wood

I’m the exact same lol

​@@ammoiscurrency5706RU-vid commenter try not to hate everything (IMPOSSIBLE 100%)

Many men of Boomer generation DID learn this stuff in woodshop classes. Then these great shop classes slowly disappeared. My high-school taught auto mechanic, electrical, wood working. My older sister was the FIRST female EVER in the history of that school to take woodworking. A's on all tests and projects. (Her male classmates hated her. We didn't even have a dad growing up) Another female student was also THE FIRST FEMALE to venture into Auto mechanics. They both graduated in 1972. The TRADES are so necessary. All of them need to offered in Middle and High school. What I mentioned earlier plus plumbing, welding, landscaping.

At least you know that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

At least you know that chloroplasts have a phospholipid bilayer

Just like I say to anyone else who raises this argument, sure there are awful teachers and schools out there but most of the time it’s the students not willing to learn rather than teachers not willing to teach.

​@didybopintitys and if the kid doesn't find learning fun, maybe we should hire someone to make it interesting.

Easy in your home home , school teachers get f all support and are severely underpaid , that's why the ones who are like this despite all that are very special people , or serial killers

think i heard he taught in University of Cincinnati in Engineering Materials.

@@baroklim9511 Thank you for the information, we need more people like him.

It's us, he's teaching us, we're his classroom. 😁

he is, the school is call RU-vid

I would nominate it, this is just perfect

Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks.

@@WorkshopCompanionhonestly, in a world of high-impact attention grabbing short-form videos, coming across your calming and informative videos that not only communicate important tips, but also demonstrate a deeper understanding of the subject beyond face value (which is increasingly difficult to come across) is genuinely a breath of fresh air.

​@@biohazard0482 Thanks for the kind words.

I dont even like woodwork, but this guy has charisma so i enjoy the videos.

Good punctuation!@@WorkshopCompanion

Yeah, and this one was actually accurate and correct, too. Unlike about 85% of the trash out there today.

watch till the end

​@@nathanwahl9224for real😭 its like they don't even do a Google search before they talk about something, people just make stuff up now😂

@@nathanwahl9224I hate the ones that go “like for part 2”, why can’t there be more entertaining and informative YT shorts than unoriginal and boring ones?

stop following YOUNG youtubers. im a young one, but ive learned to follow proper professionals not Social Media Influencers. like doctors, lawyers, craftsmen, musicians, and even if they dont have a degree TRUE hobbists and theorists. Legend of Zelda, Pokefans, Film Theorists, Game Theorists, Matt Patt, heck even economists (but thats pushing back into speculation, cuz even with degress they cant predict the future) but yeah, FOLLOW PASSIONATE FOLK. if they truly love what they do rather than chasing views for likes, comments, subscribers, and doing "trendy" stuff. so yeah, even old youtubers are ... dare I say it... COOL in that regard 😎. cuz my 34 year old self is gonna be 60 years old one day. and I hope RU-vid always stays true to its roots. A platform for folks who love their hobbies. Music Lovers, Game lover, heck even now True PhD Doctors are posting content. now its not just laymen with speculation, but true degree holding folks. this is what reddit had (i think, idk. i heard its also full of self proclaimed "professionals" who legit had zero credentials.) but yeah, I Love youtube for this reason.

Wildly underrated comment

Geppetto!

I literally shared the video with this specific description before seeing this comment. Hive mind moment

😂😂

. That is why he knows... I am sure he had too glue Pinocchio's nose on way more than Once... AIN'T IT JUST AIN'T IT 😜 lols

Fuckin A, he seems really wholesome.

Thanks.

Most welcome.

Well said

What do you mean deep understanding? You must be American 🗽

you don't need to be a master to understand this concept they probably teach you in your first year.

@@MJ-qg1tk Yes I am. 🗿 You'd understand if you lived here because our media is just an idiocy amplifier. Hardly any quality.

Yep, glue is stronger than wood but only in one direction 👍

But nobody has ever made that claim, making this video pointless. Not one person have ever claimed that wood glue is stronger than wood grain itself. Your clickbait game is top notch tho. Lol The claim is that a glue joint is stronger than the lignin bonds between grains, which you verified in the beginning of your video, and is very, very true. Even without the joinery, those joints will still break along the lignin when stressed, not along the glue joint.

@@BruceOfWaynes We field "glue is stronger than wood" comments all the time, ever since Patrick Sullivan posted his end-grain joinery tests. That may not have been what he said, but it's certainly the impression he left on social media. Imho

That's why the Vikings were said to build their ships in the direction of the grain. They kept them very lightweight but still strong.

@@BruceOfWaynesMr. Dunning, meet Mr. Kruger. Your inexperience is on display here, because people make this claim all the time. It’s everywhere. Google is your friend man. In some ways it’s true. Glue 2 boards together along the long grain and then whack the joint with a hammer. The glue joint won’t break-the fibers will split first. That’s where the “glued is stronger than wood” claim came from. It doesn’t work using end grain though.

You will never teach a person who isn't interested in the subject or interested in learning. Little something I learned trying to teach a surgeon how to use the remote control!

My teacher was somewhat like this, but he was in the navy and cursed lol

same here

​@@FlLlByou must be the type to reach jar of glass to get candy. Go work on your own Wood

Thanks.

Learned, articulate and passionate!

i’ve learned so much about ligma from him

@@FirstPersonLife he's genuinely happy to teach people his craft in detail and shows you examples. He just doesn't act like he's above people that don't know things. Really awesome energy....he makes me want to learn carpentry lol

He should be in adverts. I trust him after this video.

Real

Thanks.

You don't get this kind of applied knowledge by wasting all your time pursuing doctorates.

There was a sentence on how joinery increases the glue surface area in the script, but we had to cut it because we were running long. And it wasn't quite correct -- there are ways to increase the glue surface area without adding strength if you orient the wood grain incorrectly; people do it with splines all the time. This vid is a very broad engineering analysis, there's only so much info you can pack into 60 seconds.

A Pinewood derby car is impressive compared to most people in the world!!

More like Mr. Wizard.

But not everyone has the Discovery Channel without paying. I like him on RU-vid where anyone can access him for free, even if they have to go to the library to get on a computer. 😊

Thanks.

Most welcome.

Thanks.

Most welcome.

Don't You mean "Doctors-WOOD- love" 😀😁😮

Most welcome. Sometimes it's just fun to know stuff.

Thanks 👍

Thanks. We try.
