Always Cut Wood Downhill!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 фев 2024
- Almost all wood has a "grain slope" -- the wood grain runs at a slight angle through the board. Depending on the direction you're feeding the wood into the tool -- or pushing the tool across the wood -- you could be cutting "uphill," climbing the grain slope, or 'downhill," neatly shaving the layers of grain. Cutting uphill often results in chips and tear-out -- the tool wants to lift the layers of grain. Cutting downhill always gives you the smoothest possible surface.

It’s little things like this that pros take for granted but are invaluable to amateurs like me.
So true
Could not have said it any better.
The type of info that pros say is common sense. Thank you wood Wizard. 🪄
Those who use the internet correctly will be rewarded.
U JUST WON THE INTERNET! CONGRATS!!!!@@atedinahalf6288
I have never worked with wood and I have zero intention of starting ever in my life. I just like this guy.
This stuff is gold. I too have no actual interest behind my curiosity. But this guy puts me in mind of my highschool construction teacher and Bob Ross.
I watch this guy and Paul Sellers all the time. Dont have any space to do woodworking in haha. Maybe some day I can. But its fun and interesting to learn something new!
Sameee
Yup. Everything about this guy is exactly what I'd imagine a woodworking guru/teacher to be.
Exactly what I came to the comments to say😂
"People will say nice things about you."
Promise?
I like your choices of video games.
You have nice hair (or a good bald head)
I had a scout leader who would tell us this at the end of a lecture.
I love it.
You're very efficient in how you talk.
You’re doing great!
I have been working with wood for about 15 years now and no one has ever mentioned this, nor have I even thought about it. But now it makes all the sense in the world.
Really? I always notice it when routing; if you go all the way around a board, it's often rougher on one side.
But i wouldn't really have known the reason without all the YT i watch : ) 3X3 customs has a good breakdown of it. also.
Wood still exists? I thought it was all plywood, particle board and MDF.
@@themonsterunderyourbed9408 Wood still exists, you're just going to pay $$$$ for it, hence all the plywood you see.
Your content is SO INFORMATIVE. I could listen to a three-hour basics class from you.
Be careful what you wish for...;-)
You might consider buying his book collection
@@skigglystars9525 Absolutely. And the great thing about my books is that if you get tired or bored before our three hours is up, you can put them away and I won't even know it.
@@WorkshopCompanionI did not even realise you did books, taking a peek now!
Same!
"And people will say nice things about you" is the most honest way to end any and all woodworking tip videos lol
i have no idea but the “people will say nice things about you.” made me feel warm and cozy inside :)
I wish I had this man as my shop teacher, he's full of knowledge and knows how to translate it for us layman to understand
He’s also super easy to listen to.
@reidboggs4344 Reminds me of those old PBS/Learning channel shows from 00s and back
I am never, ever going to work with wood. But this guy makes me feel like a little kid watching him! I like it.
a few more of his videos and you will want to :-D
It’s really a testament to one’s skill as a teacher when you leave the lesson going “oh well obviously that’s the way it works! I can’t believe I never saw it that way before!”
I love when you can tell that someone enjoys teaching about their craft. The enthusiastic energy you put off is great!
Thanks.
man this dude is awesome
And to think he's only 46!
Just came to say the same!
This man is like a woodworking Mr Rogers. Simply amazing.
As a woodcarver, this is one of the most essential things to understand about wood and I really appreciate him spreading this kind of knowledge.
I usually describe cutting wood like petting a dog's fur. Happy boy when you go with the grain. Sad boy when you go against it
I have zero interest in woodworking but I am obsessed with this channel. Your cheerful manner is so refreshing!
This is only the 2nd of this guy's videos I've seen. He seems highly enjoyable & knowledgeable
What a welcome addition to my feed. Thankful to have you out there bud.
Taking the time to explain WHY issues occur and WHY the solution works rather than just presenting the solution and moving on is so under valued. This is how you truly spread wisdom and share experience.
I have never heard this guidance so well communicated nor with such good explanation.
i am a finisher, i cannot tell you how much this kind of knowledge makes sense. when you build always think of the grain and how it will impact the finish.
God, i wish i were more like this guy. Smart, generous with his knowledge, articulate, clever, chill, and happy. Hell, I'd settle for just one of those qualities.
Such a subtle but important detail to be mindful of, and a clean and clear demonstration to highlight the effect.
'And people will say nice things about you' 😂 You are a woodworking hero !
I feel so much joy when your videos bless my feed!
The passion you have for your craft, just radiates throughout this short clip☺️
This guy obviously has some experience in teaching. His voice and the tone, too good. Love it 😍
Well being a kind man like yourself, people always say nice things about me, regardless of how I cut their wood pieces.😊
This guy is hands-down my favorite wood worker on RUclips, and I'm in DEEP on WoodTube.
You see, it's these little videos, these little tips that make so much sense in how simple and sometimes how obvious they are that makes this channel one of the best in the field. Of course you can eventually find some of these things out on your own, but it takes years and multiple failures to sometimes even know what went wrong. So many people want to hoarde knowledge while you're out here doing the Lord's work helping pass this on. Thank you. So many of us younger folk lack mentors or time to hone our craft so having people reliably demonstrate things helps immensely.
Thanks for saying.
My grandfather was a woodworker so I knew a lot of these tips. It's great you're sharing these with people.
Basic woodworking knowledge but is truly invaluable and probably not something people commonly know nowadays
This guy is the man.
That's pretty awesome. Thanks for the info! I think my only experience on the matter is trying to file down a high spot, but that makes a good bit of sense.
I used to want to get into woodworking but I never could find good, simply spoken, non-condescending videos/info sources. Now I’m not as interested, but I’m still happy to learn stuff about it passively (and with a friendly teacher). Thank you :)
Most welcome.
Super helpful! Never fully understood why this happened, thank you for not only sharing how to fix but also why it's happening!
You, sir, are a master of your craft. Not just in the modern sense of being good at what you do, but also in being able to teach your craft.
Thank you for making these videos.
More of this exact kind of thing, please! ❤
These fundamental tips and information that you would normally have to do an apprenticeship to pick up… these are gold.
Will do.
I was so oblivious about wood. This man had taught me more in a week than I’ve learned in a whole year.
This is super useful as I recently started as a workshop teacher. While I have a decade of metalworking under my belt, there's so much to learn about woodworking! You are a gem of a teacher both in knowledge and manners!
To help you get started in the science of woodworking, be sure to watch ruclips.net/video/oZkYLVrTYe4/видео.html . So many shop teachers skip over this part -- and it's the most important part!
Almost 30 now and worked with wood in some amateur capacity for at least half of it and this is the first time "with the grain" has been explained in a way that actually makes sense
Thanks for saying.
Another Gold nugget of advice from WC.
"and people will say nice things about you". Pure gold! I had a good laugh!
Great info, thanks for posting
Seeing you explain things with such clarity, enthousiasm and charm is simply therapeutic (saying this as a teacher).
I went to a vocational school for carpentry, did finish work for a few years. Now in my 40s, I have a woodshop, however, something so simple like this never crossed my mind, but makes perfect sense.
This is the Dr.Sturgis of woodworking! Keep it up you do great work!
I have never heard of this until now as an amateur woodworker, but it makes total sense. Your videos are invaluable.
Thanks.
The first vid i saw from you it was basically how to correctly use a saw and 2 days later i actually NEEDed to use one. Like your tips came in handy almost immediately. Glad i found your account again!
Same here.
These videos give me so much information, you gotta charge for this kind of stuff.
As a life long cabinet maker now retired, I can't see Grain without seeing it's story, even when it's on TV or the movies.
Hands down one of the most useful channels on youtube. Thanks man
No other video has inspired me to get into this craft as much as this channel
Painter of 30 years here and I can absolutely attest to the fact that summer grain is far more dense and can make a surface difficult to finish because of the difference in hardness. It’s why we shy away from hand sanding without a block or pad.
I am liking this guy's practical advice more and more with each video. Thank you sir!
Awesome information! I'm slowly getting into woodworking because my father was a carpenter before he retired. I love woodwork now and this really helped me get a clean cut on my work!
My dad taught me this when I was first learning how to work with wood at 8. He’s OBSESSED with working with the grain. It pays off for a reason
True that.
Superb teacher
This guy is an extraordinary communicator and teacher and I always watch his videos even though I don’t work with wood…
This renews my respect for not only wood workers but gunsmith as well.
As a great colonial era gunsmith once said "Most craftsmen will choose to discipline themselves in metal, wood, or leatherworking. The gunsmith, must be a master of all three.
Been alive for almost 36 years, and who knew all I had to do was cut wood the right way for someone to say something nice about me 😅
I don't work with wood, but I love these videos, so I try to imagine that all his woodworking advice is coded life advice. For instance, this video was about changing your perspective, and approaching your problem from a different angle.
Exactly. And one of the most important take-aways from woodworking is that every problem has a solution, usually several solutions, and most solutions are simpler and more straightforward then they first seem.
This makes so much sense! I never could figure out why one way felt easier than the other. Mind blown
"People will say nice things about you"
You had me interested but now I'm desperately craving
I'm happy when someone say nice thing about me.
That's why I like this kind of education.
I there might be lots of how too videos but I love this channel for its concise info. Easy to understand without the needless "influencer" stuff.
Thank you!
This and many other of your videos are inspiring me to take up woodworking and eventually build furniture for my eco-homestead project 😊
Most welcome -- and good luck.
Most amazing youtube channel for woodworking knowledge i have evee seen
Most welcome.
Your manner and communication style are so enjoyable to watch. I always relax with your videos- even if you’re covering a topic I’m familiar with, hearing you discuss it is soothing. Thanks, and keep up the great content!
Most welcome, and thanks for the kind words.
You have inspired me to take a high school woodwork class next year! Just talked to the teacher and he has space for me, thank you for making such inspiring videos!
Awesome. All good wishes.
I never thought that much about how to put it into words I just look at the wood and say no not that way, turn it around. You explained it extremely well.
Thanks.
This is like the bob ross of wood. I don’t do anything wood 🪵 related but I could watch these videos all day.
Sir all I have to say is that your videos are so informative and very interesting. This is a video that I have never noticed that just changing the board the opposite way can change my experience. There's not enough videos out there that explain indepth like you. Your awesome. 👍
Thanks you for those kind words.
See, I've always noticed this happen, but never had an explanation for why it was happening (and never really done any kind of finish work with wood to worry about it too much - just little projects around the house).
This is excellent knowledge.
Thanks for saying.
"Or turn your tool around."
It's little things like this that are just so great
I never knew wood had a preferred cut direction.
Thank you!❤
Natural born teacher and an expert in his field. Few and fsr between.
Sure wish we had a shop teacher like you many years ago. Glad to still be learning now days too. Thanks for the great videos you do.
Most welcome.
It's simple explanations like this that elevate Nick well above most content creators here on youtube. Kudos, professor!
Your videos are the best Sir! Thank you for putting so much effort in them and making them so informative.
Most welcome.
I know exactly what you are saying. I've been doing this but I didn't know why. Thanks for explaining it so clearly.
I love this channel. It's just very calming.
Sometimes, a person can tell how great you are as a man by your skill and craftsmanship of your woodworking 🍻
I'm a metal man my self and hate working with wood but bugga me im learning a ton of stuff from this lad
Just found your channel and every single video is a little gem. Expert information, concise, and well presented. Bravo 👏
I remember my woodshop teacher always told us to follow the grain but never explained exactly wtf that meant. Whenever we got washboarding on the jointer he basically said “lmao sucks kid try again.” Glad someone finally explained it
Thank you for making such clean and concise videos. Just good, useful information presented in an easy to comprehend way. These are the perfect videos for sharing 😁
Most welcome.
I am not even a Carpenter and I absolutely LOVE your explanations you seem wise beyond your years hopefully i can use this info in the future
I never knew about springwood and summer. But now it makes sense.
I haven't thought about this since I was when my Jr.High School's Wood-Shop teacher's class. He was explaining this very scenario, and his words echo in my head.... and I my heart also, if I'm being honest.
The same concept is used in metal machineing, where the rotation of the cutter will impact the feed rate you can have on each side of it. Not complying will grant a bad surface finish due to «chatter» or simply break the tool
Your videos are always so informative, especially to newbies like me.
The skills i may not use now but when the time comes. This guy is the mentor we can all depend on. :)
Thank you Danny devito, I will always cut along the grain
Your so awsome man I wish the world had you as a dad
thank you for correcting my teacher, who guessed, that dark wood is winter and light wood is spring, summer and autumn wood. Finally an explanation, which makes sense....
Keep up the good videos bud your voice makes it that much better
Given that you can make clean cuts.
You are a wonderful person.
Also if you’re using free/cheap lumber like pallet material, it’ll have some wildly varying grain and likely knots and the like. Makes planing by hand a pain compared to clear cut boards. I personally love the look when finished but it’ll make you learn about grain orientation!
It's been a long time since I have not done any carpentry work. I still remember planing against the grain and the consequences, but the summer and spring growing is new to me.
Thank you sir!
Most welcome.
I hadn't come across one of these videos in a while so I forgot I was already subscribed. I actually went to subsribe again haha.
I don't even have a need for these videos since I am not trying to do wood work. I just love his videos. They should be used in the universal class for youtube videos.
I dont know a thing about wood working but i love this guy
