  • Woodworking Pros and Journeymen Carpenters always have a bag full of little tricks they use for more accurate and quicker builds, which they will seldom volunteer because they use them so often, they forget they even use them ... like a more accurate miter saw cuts, unconventional woodworking techniques for better finishing results, unscrambling table leg positions and thinking ahead to what best topcoat finish to apply for less distracting wood joinery issues.

    I’ve been watching for years now and Colin always says “thanks for watching.” He recognizes that when we watch we are giving him the gift of our time. In return we get the gift of his very valuable experience. The border between Canada and the US (or any other country) quickly dissolves in a time like this. And...what a nice offer to Zoom with a group for free. That’s one of many reasons these videos are so delightful. Pure knowledge shared with pure intent.

I have viewed a number of your videos posted of the last 5 to 10 years and appreciate your genuine content. I also want to commend you for your willingness to further contribute to the world of woodworking. Well done and thank you!

    I am pretty new to this woodworking thing even though I'm a bit on the older side but I just love this guy so much. Not only am I learning so much about woodworking there is something about his voice and his demeanor that is so incredibly calming. I hesitate saying what I'm about to say because I don't want anyone to take it the wrong way. But when I am trying to go to sleep at night and I just can't for whatever reason I feel like I could turn on one of his videos and listen to his voice and it would just calm me down and put me right to sleep! THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT I THINK HE IS BORING. Quite the opposite. I really don't know any other way to explain it.

    Nice tips!
    One reason I became a professional woodworker some 40 years ago was that I met so many good professional woodworkers and they were always happy to share their knowledge. Before that I was trying to be a photographer but other photographers I met would never share their techniques with me. I guess woodworkers are more down to earth and less insecure, a nice community to be part of.

    My father was a woodworker and carpenter in the '60s and '70s. Recently I was reassembling an old table he had and I noticed on the bottom by the legs that he used hash marks I II III and IIII to ensure proper orientation and placement.
    I remarked to him about that and how it made it so much easier, and he responded " your grandpa taught me that "

      Yeah both of my grandfather's wore more hats than I can wrap my brain around. My mom's dad, 1 of the 2 I actually met, was in a county playhouse, used to deliver cubic foot ice blocks for people's pre-electric refrigerators up fire escapes, used to shovel coal into the house to burn for heat, was in the air force (trained as a paratrooper, served as a mechanic) in WWII (him and his brothers all volunteered), was a loving father to 6 kids, made them all go to school, sang for the Pope (JPII) while on his choir's grand European tour and for over 50 years worked for a company making prosthetics for amputees until he retired at 82... Not long from when he died. They don't make em like him any more. That man is my hero.

      my grandfather was a tool and die maker for the bud co, in philly( ford parts) ,he showed me clock positions, which is the same idea, like if part is in front of you , you can know which direction and where to place the part, there can be many clocks , but it does help, if i don't do that, i wind up scratching my head for hours, trying to remember why i cut this that length, if i have to stop , and pick back up again, grand fathers are awesome

      @@chrisnorton2837 You know, I added central air to my house a few years ago and when researching how many TONs it should deliver, I found out that the industry still uses the term as an equivalent to the tons of ice a family would require to get through the spring and into winter.

  • @Lazarus-aap
    @Lazarus-aap 3 года назад +4

    Those are all very good tips, Colin! I always mark the waste side of the line with an X, but that just works for me. Also, when I am working on multiple pieces that have to go back in the same order, I mark them with 1 triangle drawn over them, with the base line from side to side and the side lines from the edge of the base line to the top middle, wether I'm working on two pieces, or more. And when I have tops and bottoms, or even left and right groups, I'll draw a second line underneath the base line, or along the side, left or right, depending on where they should go. Very helpful video, thank you! And I also think it is really nice of you to offer your presence and knowledge through video calling! You're the best
