I'm a retired carpenter and now build guitars in my spare time as a hobby. I still love seeing and hearing tips and hacks that other woodworkers use. I promise you will still be learning these, even after working for over 50 years, I like the tip for using sellotape on back of sandpaper for flossing neck joint. I normally use a strip of self adhesive sandpaper with backing tape still on. sometimes you will learn tricks by accident and other times by seeing others. every day is a school day

The table salt idea doesn’t work and has been shown up as nothing more than RU-vid nonsense. Same for saw dust except that the dust won’t dissolve. My preferred method is to wait a few moments for the wood glue to slightly firm up and then attach the surfaces. When it comes to tips and tricks, if they were used before the internet then they are probably sound techniques. However, if the tips and tricks didn’t exist before RU-vid appeared then proceed with caution. Unfortunately there are malicious or at best mischievous people out there that make a point of misdirecting viewers. I’m sure you know all of this but it doesn’t do any harm to trust your own instincts and rely only on your learned skills or those you trust.😊

My carpenter's pencil is exactly 9/16". Another helpful measurement is your hand span from thumb to pinky; mine is just about 8". So, when I go to the store , or the woods to look for stock for a project, I can just hold my hand against the whatever piece of wood, I can tell in a second the size. Also, more often, it comes in handy to dispute what size a board is, like the difference between a 2x8 and a 2x10, ending an argument before it starts; and the best part is, the measurement goes with me EVERYWHERE I GO!

My Dad, an avid woodworker all his life, told me to use candle wax on screws to make them easier to screw in and to rub candle wax on the bottom of drawers where there was a wooden runner on the side wall to hold the drawer at the right height. Wood on wood, candle wax lubricates and makes opening and closing it much smoother.

Variation on the super glue is to use the double sided tape between the masking tape, works just as well as the super glue and in my opinion is a little easier to do. Great video Daisy! Cheers Dave

Thank you! I loved my carpenter's apron. Customized it with this and that. Never spent time looking for things. That and an overhead hanging extending vacuum tube with the switch on the nozzle. I hated pushing dust around. One and done. My pinkie is exactly 1 cm across, 2.54 per inch. Other precise physical estimators. I was a high hurdler and my hip point is exactly 42 inches above the floor in sneakers. I would mark for squaring and my mentor would saw exactly 1/2 of the pencil mark. Level, plum 'n square. Measure twice, cut once. He was one of two master carpenters in his guild that could build an expanding circular staircase by himself. Built one for Johnson when he was VP to JFK.

Those Yellow carpenter pencils can also be sanded in half on the belt sander. They make great tracing pencils for Saddles and nuts as you push or pull it along the fret board. You can trace the radius easily. If you need to replace a nut or saddle that is. Great tip with the masking tape and super glue! Thanks I'll be using that.

@johnkirkpatrick1778 Месяц назад

If you add salt to water-based wood glued joints, the salt can slightly weaken the joint (salt absorbs water from the surrounding glue). Def don't use sawdust, as it may 'clump' and slightly hold the pieces apart, again reducing the strength of the joint. Good clamping technique, along with small position registration dowels or wooden pins are the way to go!

@DaisyTempest Месяц назад

Very good to know - thanks so much for pointing this out!

Less is more with the salt, for sure. Like, literally two grains of salt will keep the pieces from moving.

Here what I find funny: there are other TY "makers" or woodworkers who can't stand using tape/glue method and only say to use DBsided tape. Nah.

The cello tape on the back of the sand paper is great, if you use wide paper consider using clear 50mm packing tape. I have a selection of strips cut from bicycle and motorcycle inner tubes to wrap binding and with odd shaped blocks covered with clear or masking tape to apply spot pressure to items that need that little extra pressure. Next music project is a lute back Hurdy Gordy. Take care and count your fingers occasionally.

@timmotz2827 Месяц назад

BTW, if you stab the tip of your scalpel blade into the wax (either paraffin or a candle) you can lubricate it the same way you lubricate your planes. When I build a lute I use a scalpel to cut the rose pattern into the soundboard, and I keep a block of paraffin handy to periodically stab with my scalpel. I also sliced a length of dowel lengthwise and taped the halves on either side of the scalpel handle for a more comfortable handle.

@matthewwigley1613 6 дней назад

Hi Daisy, take a look at Adam Savage, the chap off Myth busters. He has his own maker channel on YT and actually sports a measure tattoo on his forearm, which, according to him, he uses all the time. I think he sells stick on tattoos which are copies of the one he wears, might be worth getting one to see if it suits, LOL. The idea of body parts being used as measurements is very old, the thumb knuckle to the tip is often an inch, a hand span, with the hand spread from pinkey tip to thumb tip is six inches, the tip of the middle finger to the tip of the nose is a yard, the foot is, well, a foot. None of these are accurate but when measuring quick and dirty lengths of rope or board feet of timber it's good enough. Way back when, stone masons on a particular cathedral or castle build would be introduced to the master mark, a stone engraved with that sites measurements often based around the master masons appendages, these would be pertinent only to that site, or any other site overseen by that master mason. I enjoy your ramblings and admire your craftsmanship, please tell me that you are used as an exemplar to encourage young ladies into the trades!!! There are still misconceptions and prejudices where there should be none but you do so much to help moves us forward. Keep on making and keep on posting please, you brighten my day. Kind regards, Matt.

@jasondoust4935 Месяц назад

Your stash of candles are a great tip and should last a lifetime. I have one in my apron that came from my dad's garage. Must be 50 years old if it's a day. The wax has dried out and got hard, which makes it even better to use. On another shelf, I have an ancient dried remnant of surfboard wax that is a brilliant plane lube. : ) And funny, I used to own a bowling pro shop and can attest to thumb and finger dimensions being handy. (Just over an inch across my thumb and my ring fingertip is just under ¾".) My middle finger is a less convenient dimension, so it doesn't come into play. You can measure across your knuckles pretty accurately with a digital caliper and may find some useful numbers "at hand."

@timmotz2827 Месяц назад

Tape tips: in the US there are two kinds of masking tape: standard tack (beige) and low tack or painters tape (blue). I’ve never seen green tape like you use, so that must be British. The painters tape doesn’t hold as well but lifts up more easily. Both have their uses. There is also artists masking tape (white), which will lift up without pulling paper fibers up, but that is very low tack. Also, there is gaffer tape, which looks like what in the US is called duct tape and holds as tightly, but lifts up without leaving glue residue. It is used in the film industry by gaffers, who are the people who position lights and other equipment on film sets. They often have to fasten down equipment or secure cables without harming painted surfaces or leaving residue. You can buy it online or in stores that carry AV equipment used by musicians. Because it has a fabric backing, it tears in straight lines so you can tear small pieces if you need it. Once you have a roll you’ll find all sorts of uses for it.

In Chinese acupuncture, there are certain body parts that relate to what’s called a “cun” (pr: tsun) or “body inch”. Typically the first section of the thumb (which you measured) is considered to be an “inch”, the distance across the 4 knuckles is 3 cun, etc. Acupuncture points are then located by anatomical landmarks, e.g. X# of cun from the wrist crease. This method, though not accurate for woodworking, does come in handy for quick estimates in the shop. 🤩

@TunaSoda Месяц назад

White double-sided carpet tape also works good to hold stuff down without sticking bad, I have always had a clean peel off using that. I do also use the painter's tape method, just need a little torsion in a corner with a putty knife to break it free if you can't grasp the edge of the tape. A few drops of CA glue will work, too much and you may need to use activator.

I recently saw a very knowledgeable woodworker criticise the masking tape and super glue trick but when he demonstrated how bad it was he flooded the piece with glue so it was running out all over the place. It needs only the thinnest of lines. For small pieces just a few drops will do. It doesn't even have to be a continuous line. Experiment with trying less and less and you get an idea quickly of how simple and clean it is.

When I do not have any measuring tools at hand, I tend to jump to using old measuring units that are derived from body, like Ell (elbow), or span (full span - thumb to little finger, or short span - thumb to index finger, I prefer the short span, since it feels more practical) or with bigger stuff also armspan/wingspan (which also usually coresponds to your height) seems pretty useful. Also for most shock value I sometimes go full on "American" and use any random item at hand to measure stuff, the look on faces of people who consider themself as pros is priceless.

This is just me probably, but in my projects I try my best to avoid one-time use plastics and other materials that we all know end up in the landfill. Still a work in progress for sure, but masking tapes are sidelined now and minimally used if at all. I substitute all sorts of clamps when I can even if it means the extra hassle setting them up, if the return is doing a little for the planet. Sure, my efforts perhaps are negligible compared to the big polluters, but it takes a pebble and all that jazz, eh?

"Dry" PTFE lube is WAY slipperier than candle wax on a plane (or a bandsaw table/fence, or the base of a tracksaw or whatever), and isn't at all sticky unlike wax can be. WD40 do a PTFE spray for a few quid and it lasts for ages. I can never get the masking tape apart once I've superglued it - I went back to using clamps, or sometimes hot glue.

If you are using a tape measure to find the center line of a board and the measurement is something weird. Instead of doing math, let your tape measure stray off 90 degrees until it reads a nicely dividable number and mark the board at the halfway point of the new number.
