Why the ancient carpenters kept these secrets! smart carpentry 

Ah yes, the ancient technique of using blue painter's tape

None of these techniques claim to be the best, but I love the creativity and creative problem solving! Great work!

The various ways of marking odd angles for flooring is quite smart. The cd/pen trick is my favorite. Used that one when installing flooring on countless occasions. The hacksaw blade for a sandpaper cutter is another smart one. Had that one in my work truck, too.

Taking that weird angle with the disc and pen, that made my day! Thanks for a nice video.

As a qualified Carpenter and Joiner, all of those joints and cut outs were dog rough

So ancient carpentors used philips screws with washers w/4 holes to repair crap?

Ahh yes, the ancient secrets of double-sided and masking tapes, and of tracing! Truly, arts that have been lost for centuries!

Excellent bit of video editing on 2nd item (downpipe in corner) making the physically impossible possible!!! Can't comment on remaining as stopped watching.

Less than half of this was actual carpentry. The other half was how to make something super simple into more work or attaching 2 pieces of wood with different types of brackets

Some really excellent ideas here that have many practical applications. Thanks so much for sharing them 👏👏👏👏

These are some great joints. Very practical usage. Thanks, inventos manualidades!

A couple of these were neat demonstrations of the applications of simple geometry concepts, which I appreciate. But ALOT of these were either pointless/impractical, or straight up actively bad. I dreaded what I would see every time that chisel came out after the first one. The level of imprecision there is staggering, lots of cases where the wood got absolutely destroyed or cracked apart- even spots where you put screws into something that did literally nothing because they clearly weren't long enough.

1:57 let me use this ruler to drill a screw in 1.5 inches so i can mark some wood without using this ruler

Ancient carpenter with electric drill and framing squares and pencil lmao😅😅

Muchas gracias !

6:12 Watch that wood BULGE. Better pre-drill that one.

Amazing video I had a great time watching from start to finish 😃

Que idoloooo!!!!

Very good techniques.

Muito bom, obrigado pelas filmagens bastante úteis. Valeu mesmo !!!

amazing tips

Didn’t know IKEA was using ancient carpentry secrets

you should pre drill your holes to avoid splitting the wood like at 6:13, other than that, good ideas!

Thanks for the tricks on how to do wood work!

Very Enteresting

Cool!!

Realmente son unos trucos verdaderamente asombrosos que ayudarán a mejorar la técnica de algunos que tenemos unas cuantas habilidades para hacer trabajos en madera. Será de mucha utilidad poner en práctica algunos de estos trucos súper interesantes y novedosos para realizar una mejor labor de carpintería. Gracias.

None of these are ancient or secret.

Excelente

Simply mind blowing. Thanks for all the tips!

SIMPLEMENTE NUEVOS MUNDOS 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

As a 50 year carpenter I'd had no idea that ancient carpenters had zinc coated screws, dimensional, planes and milled lumber and power tools. You never stop learning. I'll bet the wright brothers got their design from Boeing.

I had no idea that "ancient carpenters had dimensioned lumber, power tools, steel and carbon pencils, and me a professional carpenter.

This was the work of a master carpenter. WOW! Thanks for sharing.

why do people always feel the need to add awful music to videos rather than just the audio from the recording?

A little sloppy with the glue; you also might want to consider pre-drilling some of your holes. At 6:12, the end of the wood splits, as if Moses raised his hand and the Red Sea parted.

Wow! He has an incredible sense of the obvious!

I've always felt that if a video or book can give you one usable idea that you can implement from day 1, the time spent watching or reading was well worth it. This video has gobs of useful tricks. I'm handy enough to do some moderate tasks around the house, but quite a few things you showed in this video would have been very useful for me to have had earlier in my home improvement journey. I'll be referring back to this video. Great job!

Definitely one of the most educational videos I've watched....and useful.

Thumbs up for 2:25, the cuts, good tip for measuring the triangles. On 4X8 sheets, my cuts are always off by a 1/2 inch, despite measuring, so annoying

Gracias por el video. Para los que no somos carpinteros nos ayuda para hacer bricolaje o salir de algun apuro en casa. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

@6:10 wood splits.....Ouch

I love that ancient carpenters had a trick for removing masking tape residue.😆

All such neat stuff, thanks

Excelente vídeo

Excellent tips,very good video

Que bueno este video. gracias desde Venezuela

Es uno de los oficios más antiguos en lo particular es muy bonito me gustaría aprender de este oficio y por que no ser el mejor carpintero gracias por darme esta oportunidad y estaré al pendiente de sus publicaciones

We all know that one ancient carpenter who was keeping secrets about double sided tape

Felicidades muy buen video está muy bien es carpintería bien hecha y apre ndemos mucho los viejos carpinteros fueron siempre envidiosos y no como dice un ebanista es muy diferente los trabajos gracias por enseñar

Brilliant ideas thank you your skill is impressive..good luck for the future..

What was the point of drawing the square in the first video, they literally had a piece of the pipe to trace. When do you ever have that in real world experience?

A lot of smarty pants in the comments, but understand for the average do it yourselfer there are definitely some useful tips in this video. Yes, we know you are special, do way better, and know way more than everyone else so you don't need to say it. We already know. You are the best. You are special. Pat yourself on the head now.

At 6:15 you split the wood, pre drilling the holes as you did in other examples would have prevented that.

Super buen video

You just split the f**king wood there, @ 6:13, genius. That thing ain't holding for sh**. You needed to pre-drill the holes, particularly for soft wood like that. 😕 SMH.

That was fun!

Hacía rato que no veía un video tan útil. ¡Gracias!.-

Perfecto!

What I really like is the major use of hand tools 😊

I’ve learnt some really useful tips & tricks. Subscribed!

This should be titled, “How to get millions of views and tons of engagement by carpentry professionals who are trying to prove themselves right.” Dude is a genius.

I learned most of these in 4th grade.

this will save a lot of people from giving up and calling a pro.......truly amazing what complex head scratching problems can be solved with a well thought out simple solution.

cool video. But did ancient carpenters have power tools and painters tape?

6:14 You split the wood with the screw, you should have pre-drilled the holes before placing the screw.

Thank you 😊

Siempre se aprende

Ola.bd.gracias por compartir sus conocimientos.muy útiles.

Define ancient carpenter please. Because using masking tape to remove double sided tape, using power tools, using screws or even stripping cables with razors doesn't feel ancient to me. I say it's click bait title. Some idea here are genius, but some of your work also feel sloppy a bit.

Thanks!

0:35 it's edited. You can see the piece of wood just snap around the pipe. He had to pull the piece onto the pipe from above, and this won't work when the pipe is actually connected to something.

Great video

I feel blessed to have had such a long life and good fortune. I remember stripping ancient coax cable using an heirloom boxcutter. And yet I sit here today writing this comment using a tool from the distant future.

The tips you shared are very good

I love the ole 4 screws trick. Ingenious

Work smarter not harder, tkank for the tips, It's help me a lot in woodworking!

Wow, where did those Ancient Carpenters get their electric jig saws and drills?!

Wonderful. I know nothing abt carpentry. Let me learn something

Me agradan las ideas

Super 👍

SAW THAT WOOD SPLIT AT 6:00

😮 For the average Homeowner this is a GREAT video. So stop knocking it.

Thank you

Good tips 😊

This is a how to video made by somebody who doesn't know anything 😂

Génial 👍👍👍

Good ideal ❤️❤️

Buenos videos de carpintería

OH! OUR! GOD! This is some 100 or even 200 IQ construction right here! I love it!

Always wondered how to use a saw.

As a carpenter for over 30 years I'd advise anyone looking for tips to look somewhere else.

I died a little bit inside when he hit that tile with a metal hammer.

What does Ancient LAN and Electrical wiring look like...? So, some cool tips though.... :)

Ancient carpenters never had screws,the term Joyner,or joiner comes from about the 14th century when wood was nailed together.Otherwise joints such as mortice and tenon,tusk tenon,or dovetails were used.

Si los antiguos carpinteros hubiesen trabajado asi creo que la carpinteria no existiria desde hace mucho. Un poco de respeto para los arboles que nos dan este magnifico material, gracias.

I love carpentry. Takes skill and creativity.

The tools being used in this video is not the point here, but the actual work he's doing. Obviously "ancient carpenters" used the tools they had availlable at the time.🙄

Mind blowin

Al poner ese último tornillo, la madera se rajó. Cuando se ponen tornillos cerca del extremo de una pieza de madera, se tienen que hacer pretaladros.
