I use carbon paper.

For the nailtrick, use a comb (teeth) to hold the nail.

Very good, I would of used a vacuum to get the excess dust from the holes. Liked the sand paper idea.

For the pattern transfer trick, the iron will work if your pattern is printed on a laser printer. The toner remelts on to the wood. Ink not so much

Very useful tips, thanks

1:07 I have both that specific flush cut trim saw, as well as a Stanely Might Max flush cut trim saw. The Stanley is heads over herls better. Almost never needs a playing card or anything, with no scratching of the wood.

Festool make great tools but there sandpaper is crap for the price try the 3m extract it lasts longer and it’s cheaper you will have to buy a soft pad to put on your sander you probably got one with your sander I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Needle nose pliers work great too hold small nails

The Straw & Floss tricks are $$! The sanding card is nice too! fyi...don't cut the gooey double sided with scissors...sharp blade/knife or utility blade is my go to on that stuff....sharp chisels are always close by too!

Good video 🤠. Do you have a video or instructions for the articulating arm that is behind you? Wanting to do something like it for a light on my lathe ….. Thank you 🤠

You can also use a star wheel to transfer patterns.

I like what you showed us. Some I'd never heard or seen, and will be trying them out for sure. And I am now a subscriber and will try some of these in my shop. Thanks!

Just thinking that sheet of carbon paper would be best to trace object or a cheap projector

A plastic auto body putty knife is a better alternative to the credit card I think, but thank you for the idea! Great job and idea for this video! EDIT - A razor knife is best for cutting the tape. Hope that helps.

Great improvising and pushing through.

Impressive tricks, Katie. This is the first I've watched any of your videos. I like your clear speaking, laid back, no drama approach. Off to watch some more of your channel.. 😊❤

1:53 I never use card or blue tape. There are 2 tricks I use: (1) Use a japanese pullsaw, (without bent out teeth) (2) push down the saw with one hand right behind where you cut and that’s all. I mainly use pine/spruce fir so very soft and cheap lumber but this way still no scratches from the saw.

16:27 Use laser printer and moist the paper. I have tested and it works!

Katie I use xfasten tear by hand double sided tape and it works very well! I got mine on Amazon. Good video!!

I have a bunch of the yellow backed tape. It is a pain. I prefer the paper-backed tape that I can just rip. I leave a tail on the roll, so I don't have a problem pulling of the backing.

Great tips, Katie. I knew you would like the straw tip! I chuckled as you were cutting the double-sided tape. I have the same problem. I use it often in my shop and still haven't found a good way to cut it...

For trimming the dowels, save your self the sandpaper and use a sharp finely set block plane.If you don’t own one, I know spending money on tools for a small business is a tough choice, but a block plane has so many uses that it’s definitely worth the purchase. Do your research to find a good one. I love the Lie Nielsen No. 60 1/2 but they are $$$. A vantage Stanley might work well too if sharpened and tuned correctly.

Thank you for sharing

Search for “acrylic emulsion transfer” to see how to transfer inkjet prints from paper to other objects

I needed to hear this! Thank you!

I just found your channel! These are tips I actually haven't heard before! Nice job!!

You can put shelf liner contact paper on your wood and then spray adhesive on the paper. Easy removal and much cheaper and smoother than a bunch of blue tape

for transfering pattern, I use carbon transfer paper and trace it out

Use a reusable plastic straw. It is more durable, washable and reusable.

I just found your channel and sure like what you were doing! I subscribed so I don’t miss anymore of your videos! Thank you for sharing Katie!

Neat tricks overall. I wonder on the iron transfer trick, though, if you used a non-water-resistant printer ink and set the iron to let out steam, if it might work better. I don't know what kind of printer you used, so I'm just going out on a bit of a limb. I know Epson DuraBrite brand printer inks are water-resistant (they're what I use), so I wouldn't expect them to work, even with steam. But maybe other inkjet or eco-tank style ink could work. I would definitely try with a bit of steam, though, just out of curiosity, as in theory at least it might reactivate the ink & therefore would work better. Also, I would stick the pattern down with a piece or 2 of regular painter's tape, rather than double-sided tape. That just seems easier to me. Finally, my tip for cutting double-sided tape like that is to use a good pair of Teflon-coated/non-stick scissors. I find they do at least a pretty good job of not getting gummy. If the blades on mine do gum up, I just use Goo Gone and make-up rounds or paper towels to clean the adhesive residue off. Works like a charm. Anyway, thanks for testing these tips out. Hope you have a wonderful day! :)

One tip i saw was when doing the glue with the straw thing. You can wait for it to set for like 10 minutes or apparently up to like 30 minutes and it will clean up easier. I have not tested waiting that long though

Very interesting. However, it looks like you need a new pair of scissors. The straw glue remover works really well.

A while back, I took a very tiny magnet that I found somewhere and superglued it onto the end of a 6 inch piece of small dowel. This turns out to be the perfect tool for starting most small nails. I stick the tool to the side of my tack hammer so I just grab both at the same time when I need it. I made a second one that I keep with my screwdrivers because it's handy for starting small screws, as well. I know this is woodworking tips, but since most woodworkers tend to be DIYers, the straw trick works well for caulk, as well, though I use a larger straw.

On the pin trick for transferring: Grab several pins. Pin the pattern in place by pinning along the outline in several places. With the pattern in place, you can then fill in the other points on the outline.

Please, turn off the auto-focus on your camera. The constant adjusting makes it unwatchable.

Cool tricks & tips !

Get rid of the card, put a strip of blue tape under the pull saw😀

For a real simple pattern you can also use transfer paper and just trace out

When I'm pulling nails or staples I stick a magnet on my prybar/hammer/visegrips to hold the waste instead of chucking each staple in the bin individually or leaving them on the floor

When you are punching your pattern into the wood, place a couple pins or nails that stay in until the end to stabilize the pattern from moving. Then when you lift the paper, use a pencil to connect the dots. My dad and I used to do that before we headed to the scroll saw, back in the 1990’s

You need to use a laser printer. An inkjet printer won’t work. It probably didn’t work because your printer uses ink instead of toner.

When you had the straw test, I went wild. I was all “yes! Girl, you’re going to love this one!” I am glad you find it as useful as I do. I love the straw hack when needed. But I got a cool hack to back it up. If you apply paste wax everywhere you expect squeeze out, the glue will not effect your finish because the paste wax prevents the squeeze-out from getting into the pours. Can then remove the paste wax with mineral spirits or alcohol or acetone before finishing.

Great hacks Katie 🎉

Have you experimented with using the pine dust as your filler instead of Goodfilla?

I'm glad that someone else uses the paper bag trick! My father, who was a master wood carver, did this, and taught it to me for carpentry.

Very informative, liked, shared, saved and subscribed!

Decent tutorial received a save!

in my honest opinon, not that you not nice to look at but when u talking have your video on what you doing instead. otherwise makes me disinterested.

See if you can mimic the Pottery Barn rustic look.
