What kind of plywood do you use? | Ask Me-Mo 

Steve, I'm not a woodworker, but I subscribed to you years ago because I just loved your videos. This past week has been very difficult and stressful for me, and in that time you've made two videos, and I've watched a bunch of your old ones. And every single one made me laugh. Whether it was you being intentionally funny or just something simple (like not wearing shoes in your wood shop), it's put a smile on my face and made life just a little brighter. And with what I've been going through lately, it's much needed and I appreciate it more than you could ever know. Much love to you!

I wouldn't worry about the rip fence, just do what I do, don't build anything square...

I'm so glad I saw the wood fall off the wall. I was beginning to think I was the only one who walked into their garage and found a piece of lumber "mysteriously" lying on the floor. :)

Love watching your videos, there is no better medicine in the world than humor and laughter. Keep those things in your videos, we Mere Mortals need them.

I love your style, Steve. The way you play around with this medium is amazing.

I gotta say, that part where the door opens nearly had me in tears from laughing. Your reaction was priceless!

I really enjoy watching these videos for the " Steve Ramsey Charm" . Yes he wanders of track, and Steve is a project based woodworker and not a process based woodworker,. I have been woodworking for forty-one years and truly enjoy watching Steve. Keep up the good work , I'll keep watching.

one of my favorite Me-Mo, watched it 4 times and its still funny

I liked what you've said about the tv show, i'm from Tahiti french polynesia learning Woodworking thanks to your RU-vid Chanel. Thks again fo your work bro

What a fun and funny video, thanks , it's so nice to hear someone just chatting so one on one casually. Make it easy to understand and follow. I have Subscribed and liked to your channel Great video , Again Thanks.

I love your videos. You talk about all the topics I'm thinking about as a beginner.

I was watching and saw your California cut out in the back... before I finished the video, I ran outside and cut of my Arizona cutout! Thanks for the Idea!

Love the quick jump editing on this!

Cheers for the video Kevin!

Thanks for waiting!!! I paused the video and glued up door panel number 17 of 21 for my kitchen cupboard door project! after the video ends i will scrape the dried glue of the panel and add it to the growing stack of maple panels growing in my living room work shop!

You are just awesome! Keep it up! Your the reason why I started to wood work! I have a shop $4500 Later thinking I really needed some expensive tools. Not the case hahaha But I still enjoy the good quality tools!

"Pine, oak and... Kevin." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LMFAO

The close-up opening you did last week reminds me of Wilson Wilson from the show "Home Improvement". You should do an impression sometime if you are familiar!

On the router bit issue, a 1/2" bit will be more stable and have less vibration and deflection. On the drill press, don't tighten the chuck in just one spot. There are 3 "grabby things" and 3 holes for the chuck key. Tighten all 3 of them to help get the bit centered in the chuck.

I like to see all the old shows i have a lot a fun

Great show Steve. You are hilarious. I love all of your shows

Another great Ask Me-Mo segment. I love the questions and how you answer some and sort of answer others with humor. Always good for information and a laughter fix. Regards, Bob

Nothing to say except that you make me smile, a lot! Harvey UK

OT low end tablesaws, I just got a DeWalt DW745 and love most things about it so far, would love it even more if I could have gotten it at US prices $-) except I'd probably then have gotten a 744 which has a bit more power. Best thing about it is that rack-and-pinion fence. Plus it is relatively easy to adjust basically everything, so even if something's out of square, with a good square and a little patience you can definitely GET it square. Also DeWalt has already launched a successor (DW7480?) so there might still be a chance to grab a bargain somewhere.

Nice job Steve!

I use a program to speed up videos. Generally I watch them at 1.3x speed (so I can watch more videos). If you think Steve talks fast normally, try listening to him 30% faster! [ I've actually gotten used to all my favorite creators talking 30-40% faster, and when I hear them at normal speed, it actually seems waaayyyy slooowww! ]

Great video Steve, lots of good info.

Awesome vids as always Wish our big box stores in Australia had more varieties of dressed wood other than mainly pine and Tasmanian oak. Same thing goes in our plywood range, Maybe we need a Home depo.

After reading the title, I thought it would be more information on plywood types and their uses. I'll keep looking

Please bring back handy woodworking tip time! :)

Thank you a lot for each one of your videos

Moving wall art...Missing picture... Doors opening themselves... ♪♫ Handy woodworking HAUNTED SHOP!!!

Besides, I do learn things from you. Now that I am over 75, I have a pretty nice wood shop and can now build things and if they are supposed to be square, they actually come out square. Only took me 50 years.

Reference to The Hoff is always appreciated!

Yeah I had a cheap saw too. I got fed up with the fence, bad miter slots and lack of insert plate and I ended up tearing it apart and making a home-made saw out of it. More precise now and I used combo track (3/4" miter and T-slot) so I can lock down feather boards and such. Its more precise than it was and a bit quieter too now as well... It will do until I can afford a good saw. Oh, and I love working with Kevin too.

I noticed maple plywood at my local Home Depot but haven't used it yet. Still waiting for a good simple project to use it with.

Love your work bro - Thanks for all your tips believe me it help ! keep the laughs going . Makes for agreat vid - love the herb garden sand out side going to make one for the wife -

Steve, where I'm currently serving, I am using 11 ply plywood. Never saw that before....

i,m learning alot from you steve, and i just want to say ty so much my friend, if i can learn this comp, i,ll send some pic.

I have a scroll saw with a rusted base plate so what do I do to fix it

On the drill press, if there was debris on the spindle of the chuck, it could cause/contribute to runout (bit wobble). Try removing the chuck, cleaning it with some acetone, cleaning the hole out, then reassembling it...

Steve where did you get that sharpie drill bit?

On the drill check that the drill shaft and chuck is installed correctly sometimes they can me off and give a wobble.

Really enjoyed the part when 'The Hoff" showed up. LOL

I recently discovered that plywood is rarely accurate in the advertised thickness and that 1/4" plywood is generally closer to 3/16ths. Evidently this is because most plywood is shipped from overseas and so if they're accurate to anything it's actually millimeters. only domestic plywood is anywhere close to accurate to the advertised imperial measurements. I found that MacBeath Hardwood in Berkeley sells a very accurate 1/8" birch plywood but I've yet to find a good supplier of 1/4". How do you deal with this discrepancy while woodworking?

Great work with the tips Steve. The Me-Mo name.... argh. bad memories.

Okay Steve, what about a veneer finished birch plywood. Making a desk/cabinet/book shelf combination. This veneer coat (looks nice) that came on the wood is not strong for a table/desk top; it wants to chip. Should I put on a "epoxy resin" or a "polyurethane" coat or two?

never cease to entertain, too bad we wont be seeing that steam punk saw though lol

Hysterical, I loved it.

I use purebond maple plywood for mi cabinets ,I stain with poliurethane oil base stain cherry ,but look like green what can I do for take the green off

About the router bit size, I use only 1/2 inch bits because of safety and that I can use larger cutters... 1/4 are just more likely to shear off.

I've recently run across crooked (black and decker) drill bits, smaller sizes from a multi pack, I found on clearance somewhere. Lay the bit on your table saw, roll it, and watch the light coming under the business end, is the light the same for both flutes?

I laughed so hard at the faces you made when the ghost walked in your shop. Lol

On the other side of router bits...I had a 1/4 in a router table and it broke and no I didn't push extremely hard, that was a couple years ago.. still don't know where it landed but I only use a few different at a time so its only 1/2" shanks now

Another consideration when buying a table saw is to make sure it has a slider groove on both sides of the blade in case you want to make a cross cut sled. I had a Ryobi saw that only had one, and I had to buy a new Dewalt just so I could get the sled track on both sides. Also, it's very beneficial to have an adjustment on both ends of the rip fence to square it up. My Dewalt has 2 allen screws on both ends, and it is extremely accurate when set up correctly. Just my 2 pesos.

Is marine ply sheet good for a pool table in live in UK 🇬🇧 thanks for your help

is guild a good brand ive never had any of there products

hey steve what other wax can I use on my runners for my cross cut sled as paste wax over here is expensive thanks for all the great vids

Great show. Three thumbs up.

Pine, Oak, and Kevin. Had me dying 😂

Hy, any chance you can make a feature shelf for a garden wall? I'm going to be making some, thinking bout your honeycomb design and then floating shelves either side

What kind or what type of plywood do I have to use if I wanna make a tabletop for a table saw? Thank you, Sir.

"Grabby things". I almost peed my pants. Thank God I wasn't out in the shop. Thanks Steve (or not) ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Christopher Walken: I have a disease! I have a disease and the only cure is more Princess Meow-Meow!

How do I find the crown side on plywood? Thanks Steve! :-)

I'm looking at buying a good quality table saw. I've looked at a few brands and models, but leaning towards the DeWalt DW744XP-XE. Does anyone have any reviews about this saw?

I wish we could get that type of plywood here in Australia. We go from structural CD grade to marine grade costing over $100 a sheet. Very few good ones in between.

Hi there thanks for the work, question for you what's the best plywood for roofing ceiling.please respond thanks you

I've a Grill a long time ago and it only has two of the pointy things that you were talking about

Love the channel

I remember an episode where you made your own royalty free music. Silly and funny as it should be.

Hey steve, i LOVE your videos. They have inspired me to get making things. Thankyou so much. PS: My cat is called ramesy

Can you stain iron on edge banding?

what does type 1.5 stands for on film faced plywood

Love your videos. I was just trying to remember what was the video you did sometime ago with the Michael Franti "Say Hey" Song?

***** was that by any chance PureBond maple plywood? I have used that brand before in Birch and it was really a pleasure to work with. At the time the veneer was .02 thick which means that I was able to plane it in some areas after assembly! Can't say I have seen that thickness since at the Depot. Would love to hear from you on the veneer thickness. Thanks

In our general DIY shops they sell internal and external ply. What's the difference? Plus it splinters really badly at the edge whenever you cut it. Is this a problem with all ply or just cheap ply?

Never did I expect a shout-out on Mere Minutes. Be warned, I am full of knots and will dull your blades quickly.

Big box stores will cut 4x8 plywood sheets for customers but they must use blades with 3 tpi that have also cut black pipe because one side is always chipped out very badly. Any suggestions for someone who can’t get a sheet that big home?

Can I cut rails & styles out of plywood for kitchen cabinet doors & drawer faces? Will they warp if painted and stained properly?

The Hoff was here? How did I miss that,,,,(watching again)

When are you going to do a 2016 version of ask me-mo? Or have you done one already and I haven't found it yet?

Planning on a large island with storage! Will plywood support a four feet by five feet quartz slab? Appreciate your answer.

I loved when the ghost/cat opened the door. Your cat should be featured more, or have her own channel.

need a plan for storing baking pans and cookie sheets...got one? :)

Steam punk saw FTW !! :)

Hi sir which joint structure will be dest for melamine plywood sir🙏

I actually did pause the video and go into the shop for a couple of hours.

Hello, I really like your videos. What's the thickness of the plywood that you most use?

What finish on your router table?? Probably not a finish but more likely a silicone spray or something like that to make the wood slide easier.

The board is making a run for it!

Just noticed....... You seem to be without shoes in this video. Man you must keep the floor clean and wood chip free..... cheep router bits - love them...

Hulio: Any advice on how to get in the shop and build more stuff? Daniel: I'm gonna need a bigger budget for that one :/

Four minutes twenty seconds before you got to the plywood answer

Handy Woodworkig tip time ♪♫♫

Dangit, Jolio got burned!

The ghosts that make Frank Howarth's videos have come to haunt your shop, Steve! And you all thought Frank was using "stop motion animation." Nope, his secret is g-g-g-ghosts.

wobbly chuck tap chuck with a copper or plastic hammer they are usually taper fit to the spindle.

What to look for when buying a table saw IMO is, make sure it has a riving knife. Not a splitter or those godawful pawls, a real riving knife. For 500 I would think an older quality cast iron saw would be within reach, though probably needing some work done on it, but one can save lots of money if you're willing and capable to do some light repair work, and you can get industrial quality machines. One issue with this in a US-specific context though is based on my observations, riving knives seem to be uncommon on older, even professional level saws. In europe they where standardized on maybe even in the 60s. My 40 year old german saw has a riving knife and overhead guard and I've been able to observe in person as I accidentally pushed a part slightly wrong and how the knife prevented it from going into the blade and causing a kickback. Truly the best safety device ever for a table saw.
