Pretty sure most of these wood glues would be stronger than the wood with a proper glue joint. Unfortunately this youtuber didn't test any proper glue joints... wood glue is only stronger than wood on long grain joints. End grain joints or cross grain joints require jointery. In the form of a mortise and tennon, dowels, a domino jointer, etc.

This is actually the most important aspect to me as I live in Arizona where its hot and dry. Some days it is near impossible to spread out the glue one two small board edges and get them mated together before the glue starts to skin over. That is why I use TB3. However, this testing was interesting and I'm glad to see it is also the strongest (although pretty much any glue is strong enough for woodworking).

This morning I received a delivery from Amazon with Vibratite thread lock, Evaporust, and JB Weld epoxy, all products you’ve tested to which my wife replied “I’m going to write to that farm guy you’ve been watching and ask him to block you from watching his videos”. ☹️. When I showed her the glue test results she responded in relief saying “thank goodness” knowing that I’ve been using Titebond II for over 30 yrs and Titebond III since it was released and always have a gallon of each in the workshop. Many years ago I was using the more expensive and messy West System epoxy for exterior work until Titebond II and III was released. I’ll use Titebond II because it sets faster and reduces my clamping time. Keep up the good work and please ignore any comments from my well meaning wife.

@coolhand5855 2 года назад

This was a really great test - confirmed some of my suspicions about the strength of various wood glues. However, as an idea for a followup video... All of the glue joints tested in this video involved glue on end grain. This is a woodworking no-no (but we all do it, sometimes). When we apply glue to end grain, we never get the strongest joints. Conventional wisdom says it is because the end grain wicks most of the moisture out of the glue before it can properly cure - thus making the glue itself weaker than the wood it adheres to. I'm not sure if that is the reason, but end-grain joints are definitely weaker. Now that you've established which glues are stronger than than others, it would be really fun re-run the experiments with edge-grain to edge-grain joints. According to the claims of most wood glue manufacturers, the wood should fail before the glue does. It would be interesting to see how true that statement is. It would also be interesting to find out just how much stronger ideal woodworking joints are. Keep up the good work!

Very good test overall, although I question the value of the endgrain to endgrain tests since that results in dry joint (you can see that happened in the results) and most woodworkers wouldn't attempt that joint.

I was really surprised how well the Elmer's glue did. I always considered them a "kids" glue because we used Elmer's glue in grade school. One of the interesting things about this test is that all these were end grain joints, which is the weakest way to glue wood. I would love to see a similar test comparing different connection methods. Glued, pocket screws, dry mortise and tenon and glued mortise and tenon.

@ProjectFarm Год назад

@nrd515 Год назад

We did a bunch of different joints in a woodshop experiment over 50 years ago. On any of the joints done properly, and no end to end joints, the wood failed before any of the glues did, including regular old Elmer's. We didn't do any wet testing. The teacher wanted to show us that if we put stuff together correctly, it was strong as hell.

@ginoasci2876 4 года назад

Project Farm: titebond 3 really is a great product because it tends to hold up outdoors, where glues that are not designed for exterior break down and ruin projects. so you spend a couple bucks more but you’re guaranteed a proper bond that stays, and your not having to rebuild, redo, or repair. it’s aggravating and a waste of time. i’d rather spend this limited time on this planet doing something that brings joy. i’ll spend the extra bucks all day long. i bet your life on that farm, even thou a lot of work, is a real treat to wake up to. life, joy, and wood glue in the same comment.

As a woodworker, I cringe when I see you gluing end grain to end grain, or even end grain to face grain. Every single woodworking application that has an end grain joint will have some other means of mechanical or integrated reinforcement. End grain wood soaks up glue and doesn't give the best bond. I'd love to see side grain to side grain or face grain to face grain testing. However, kudos to the consistency in testing and I think this still provides great information.

@The_Fat_Turtle 4 года назад

He was already stressing his equipment with end grain testing, so I think it was a great way to test these glues relative to each other when they are at a disadvantage. I get where you and other commentators are saying that you would love to see it tested this way, but it will just make the numbers bigger and won't really change the relative test results too much.

@ergohack 4 года назад

@@The_Fat_Turtle I think doing face grain would give more repeatable results. It's hard to know how much the end grain is going to wick the glue away from each individual joint.

@TheSnekkerShow 3 года назад

End-grain joints have a bad reputation, but wood is wood and glue is glue. The joint failures are often caused by ignoring wood movement when fastening end grain to edge grain, letting the end grain soak up all the glue so there's little left in the actual joint, or an incorrect assumption that an edge grain and end grain joint failure would look the same.

@patprop74 3 года назад

@@TheSnekkerShow The " bad reputation" to end-grain to end-grain is will deserve exactly for its ability to suck up the glue which is why industries spend millions of dollars on machines that create finger joints for end-grain glue-up, like you said wood is wood and glue is glue but is not always equal. here an interesting clip of such a machine in action, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nZv6EWA_hgc.html

@jaymzx0 3 года назад

When doing endgrain glue-ups, I like to 'pre-treat' the wood with some water thinned PVA (Titebond, Elmers, etc) glue to seal up the ends so when I actually glue them together, the glue isn't soaked up by the wood and out of the joint. I haven't done any destructive tests such as the ones done here, but anecdotally, the glue joints seem to be much more reliable. I usually use the 'belt and suspenders' technique of zipping a fastener of some sort into them too, if possible.

@SCJME 4 года назад

Great test. This one really peaked my interest as a canadian red seal journeyman cabinetmaker. One important thing we learned in school about glue joints is that the weakest joint is end grain to end grain. If end grain joints are used they are stronger if sizes. (Mixing glue and water 50/50 and allowing it to be absorbed into the pores then after a bit of wait time glue as normal) The strongest being edge grain to edge grain. I'd really like to see this test done again with edge grain to edge grain. Also end grain to end grain test would be cool to see again with testing the sizing method mentioned above. Cheers and keep the videos coming!!

@ProjectFarm 4 года назад

@SCJME 4 года назад

@TheCheesePlease when doing a science experiment you come up with a hypothesis of what might happen. Your hypothesis is that they will all hold up and the wood would break. My hypothesis is that some of them may hold up but most will still fail. Another possibility is that sizing a joint actually doesn't do anything it could be something that they thought would work for years but actually has zero science behind it to work. So now I think it has to be tested.

@lewistaylor863 4 года назад

Love your testing videos, but there is a slight issue with this one - gluing to end-grain always results in a poor joint. The porous nature of the end-grain soaks up the glue and tends to give a dry joint. Ideally, for bond testing it should be face grain to face grain. Anyway, keep up the great work - love the vids.

@ProjectFarm 4 года назад

Thank you for the constructive feedback

@Peter-976 4 года назад

@Lewis yes true but all the poor joints were tested equally.

@DHClapp 4 года назад

@@ProjectFarm Yep, definitely. In woodworking, when you can't avoid gluing end-grain, you go to great lengths to pre-soak the end-grain by applying glue, letting it wick in and partially cure, and then repeating as many times as it takes to have it stop wicking in, and only then put the joint together. When you're gluing long-grain to long-grain, none of that is necessary and nearly every adequately-clamped joint will fail at the wood, not at the glue. That being said, though, I think maybe that's a good argument for doing the test exactly as you did it. Had you glued a bunch of boards long-grain to long-grain and performed the same tests, you would have essentially (probably) been testing not the relative strength of the glue, but the relative strengths of each wood sample.

@johnturner4400 4 года назад

Lewis Taylor. Correct but with a correct bond, the timber would break before the glue so the test would end up being a wood strength test. I think that making a weaker joint is possibly better for consistency.

@lewistaylor863 4 года назад

@@Peter-976 Agreed that is a valid point - it was like-for-like testing and so certainly has some validity and some useful information. However, due to the glue uptake of the end grain and variable nature of wood and the viscosity of the glues, you could end up with an extra uncontrolled variable which could influence the performance of the glue.

Accuracy of measuring devices were the issue in that video. Running "full" tanks of gas with different plugs. There was a variance of 35 seconds max between plugs, if we assume 1 gal per hour, convert to ml then divide by 60 twice we see that 1 second runtime is 1mL of fuel. So 30mL gives 30 second variance, my conclusion was the test was moot, unless he's measuring fuel with a weigh scale after drying the tank fully. He would have to weigh the samples to the hundredths and not lose any to evaporation during testing. Air temp, tank temp, head temp would all play factors. There's are reason testing is done in climate controlled environment a with incredibly precise instruments.
