I enjoyed this new kind of “tutorial” video. It’s very helpful to someone who is thinking about starting to do some woodworking.
Yeah it saves hours of trial and error
I fixed a bad dent on my dining table with a helthy knot that I drilled of a board with a plug drill. It actully looks like a real knot on the table. The table is made from pine. Thank you for the reminder of the dent fix with water and ironing it. Had forgotten it.
Ingenious solution. But on a mahogany table top they're no knot, but to fix pine this is great thanks.
Dear Alain,
Ten hours for our benefit; it's much appreciated I am sure. The moral of the story if I may put it this way is: Get it right first time or don't make a pig's ear to begin with or words to that effect. You could equally have spent this time making a new project with mistakes ( intentional or otherwise) included with said remedial options, in which case you would have shot two birds with the same stone. All in all a very noble endeavour on your part. Kind regards.
Thank you. And yes the moral of this episode is: don't mess up, you might regret it. Miracles are in Vatican city not in our workshop. But I showed some ways to get around and hopefully it's not in a too much visible spot.

Dear Alain,
Thank you very much for your courteous reply. I am sure you could educate some of us during the making of one of your projects as you go along; you've done it to some degree in the past, I am sure you could carry as you normally do. It's always with fascination & informative to watch whatever you get up to. Kind Regards.
Videos like this are what make me think youtube still isn’t that bad of a platform. Seems like nearly every time I need to know how to do something theres a video for it. Thank you for your contribution to the information cluster that is RUclips!
I admired that you used your father's supplies and tools. Thank you for your video.
RUclips: When you want to find a way to fill plastic holes, but then the video on filling wood holes is much more exciting. This was wonderful, you are great on camera and have a nice way to be informative and yet, entertaining. I will definitely be coming back to this video for my next project! More please!
Thank you
This was an excellent video. And the time you took was quite obvious... lots of attention to details. Thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to show all plugs and fills with stain and finish. Sometimes what you think is a good repair turns out to be horrible. Well done!
This is not just a tutorial, it is a university lesson. Excellent explanation, thank you.
Good showing of results. I think because cedar is so soft it might be one of the harder woods to hide a repair on. A good tapered face grain plug in a hole with a good edge is probably the closest you can get. I did enjoy seeing the other techniques like laquer sticks.
These kind are great. A bit of work for a short video, but informative. Thank you and hope to see some like this from time to time.
I made a few "mistake" holes in some wood and was looking for some options on how to fill them. This definitely gave me some good ideas for what to do! Thanks for making this video so clear and easy to understand, with many different side-by-side examples. Plus, your way of talking and accent is quite charming and fun. Good work, thanks Alain!
Thank you! Despite 40 years working with wood I'd never come across the trick for steaming out dents -- oh, the sanding I could've avoided had I but known!
You dont even have to steam. I just drip water on it, go sand something else and come back. Sometimes you have to do it twice but each time it swells the wood fibers up more and then a quick sand makes it practically disappear.
Love this in-depth comparison! Helped me save so much time trying to figure out what plug method would work best for my project. Thank you!
Love this type of video from you , you have so much experience, anything you do will help others !
Very straight forward and informative so even newbies like me can understand and learn!
Thank you so much for this video!
I admire your videos :) Years ago, when you were still in your basement workshop, I first discovered your videos, and my late mother loved them too :) Whenever I watch your videos I think of her and I get warmth in my heart. Thank you for all of your videos and stay amazing.
I enjoyed this video, sometimes seeing what not to do is equally as important!
It was a fantastic test. I only use wood dust and glue for smaller repairs if the piece is not stained. The big holes I extend with a router bit into squares and then plug them.
Yes using wood plug was the best result, but still, no miracle
Thankyou for this fantastic video.
Seems like the only solution is to place screws between the grain and plug with the same material.
That's what I needed to know and that's what I'll do.
It's not easy plugging a hole, like I showed, I'm glad I was a little help
Hi Alain. I follow you from Italy, I do not know much English but as you explain, more or less I understand, I like your videos, this in particular, you learn more with these tips and techniques than with other types of video. I hope you do others. In order not to rush, I used google translate. Hello
I don't know if you speak French but Alain has a French version of every videos.
@@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker I know that you make videos in both English and French (maybe you could do them in Italian, HA HA). Unfortunately I speak only Italian and not very English, but it is not a problem, what you do and how you explain it, you understand very well. I repeat that video like this is very nice, I hope you do others like that. Hello
Wow. Thank you so much. Trying to repair excessive tacks holes in wood chair before upholstering.
I will have an upcoming episode fixing chairs :))) And you're confirming what I say at the beginning:
If you're a woodworker you'll have 2 things that you won't be able to avoid in your life; paying your taxes and fixing chairs
What a fantastic video. Thank you for spending the time to make it.
Very helpful, Alain! I don't do much finishing per se, but when I do I try to use material from the actual damaged area, mixed with clear epoxy or CA-glue. As you pointed out, its difficult to get a perfect match but, for me, close enough is good enough. Thanks much!!
Thanks for the informative video. Please continue these types of videos.
Ive got 10 years in but always learning more. Thanks for the video!
I do like the tips! It's nice to learn from other wood workers on stuff like this!
That was A nice change of pace I could definitely go for another episode like that.
Nice video by a genuine presenter. Merci!
This is very informative and the validation process is scientific. Excellence. Thank you.
thank you
Please try some "frencken cellocol" or a simmular product like "bona mix and fill" these are products used for parket flooring and are absolutely great for filling small holes and cracks. You just cover, for example, the hole tabletop with it and then sand it flush. I use them for all my furniture, clients love it, it makes your furniture stand out.
Thank you, those products look great. I never say anything like that around here. I check and it'S not available here in America... It'S unfortunate, and I guess it's the kind of product that you can't bring with you in your luggage...
I love the video. I like how you showed us all the different affects. Thanks so much. From california
An excellent and informative video. Most useful. Thanks for going to all the trouble to test out the various ways of filling holes in wood.
You're welcome
I think ceder is difficult compared to other denser and darker woods to do small "fix" on. Find plugs to be best option.
Great video as always.
Definitely like tips in the woodshop! If you enjoyed it, why not make more?
Pretty cool! Thanks for the video. I like your dad's tools. Never seen that b4 I am not a wood worker. Wish kids today learned that stuff.
Thank you, My dad had a lot of old tools and since he only restored antique, different tools than I use to see.
These days school are so afraid of injuries that they rather not teaching anything to kids except reading and writing, this is good if all the kids were to be layers...
I love tips videos and you always have cool methods. I have a lacquer stick and never knew what it was. I acquired it with some old tools from a yard sale. It's white so I'm sure dying it to match wood will be very easy to use on a variety of different types of woods. Thank you so much for your time. The time and dedication you put into your projects and videos are so inspiring. Thank you. I'd love to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve.
"this may not show but I worked over 10 hours to produce this video"
LOVE YOUR SYSTEMATICALLY DONE VIDEO. You left no room for questions. So thorough!
Keep doing this!!!
I like them, I would love to see some with the thought process behind using different joints/joinery methods.
I work at a cabinet shop and I have to say that the best way to fill cracks and small holes is glue and wood dust. This is a suggestion for your lacquer filler, you can melt and mix different colors together to get the color you want.
I never mixed my sticks, but it'S a great idea Thanks
Great. Expertise and humility
I really appreciate your video and time.
Thank you! The steaming trick was great.....and completely new to me!
Thanks 🙏🏼 for the video! So much good info , love your dad’s tools by the way
Great vid, taught me exactly what I needed. Thank you Alain
"This shows that miracles DON'T exist." lol Not in woodworking, no.
I love these kinds of videos! Even if they are just included in the middle of a build video of some kind. Thanks!
I would have thought it would have better results than that. Maybe another video with maple, oak, cherry, and walnut? Variety is always appreciated. Good job.
Maybe with other species this can have better result, but I it's not a sure bet..
Excellent video, very informative and helpful, great job, congratulations.
Great video. Helpful for me, I need to repair a wooden rack that has 3 small screw holes.
I'm glad this can help you
Very practical demonstrations - thank you!
Alain, I've used some of those strategies on my projects. My favorite is to make plugs from the same wood, and when I place them, I turn the grain 90 degrees to the piece being repaired, so the plug SHOWS up ! That way it is a part of the job that was planned ! ;-)
Yes it's also most of the time my strategy, I even go a step further and use another species of wood, this really show it's part of the design and it looks less like a patch work...
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Very cool tipps, I like it a lot. Especially all the tipps in here, thank you!
I really enjoyed this tutorial My Friend;I picked up a cpl of tricks;And I had a laugh with Your antics. Don't change a thing! Best Wishes to the Family. ✌
Thank you
I like your video so much
plug the hole with any wood, then cut a piece of the wood veneer (the same wood as has the hole) to the size and shape of the hole. make sure you go with the grain. this will work well if you havnt got another piece of wood to use a full plug. then use the glue sawdust method to fill in any holes around the vaneer. never use a metal tool to apply the glue sawdust mix as it taints the mixture. once dry, sand and enjoy the result
Thanks for the video. Gotta fill some holes myself.
Very good and truthful thank you for the alternate not matching looks better 👍
This was a big help to me. Thank you.
Good suggestions, thank you. Sometimes holes add “character” so I just leave them.
Thank you for the excellent tips and the plus/minus comparisons. Very helpful!
Great tips Alain, Thanks for sharing.
your investment in time was worth it you just gained a subscriber :) I love the story about your dads tools ect, I almost only use old tool for that reason
Have a great day people :)
Thank you, my subscribers number is stagnant, but receiving a comment like your is worth the low subscribing
Thanks Alain. I learnt something new from this video. Happy New Year....cheers!
This was incredibly informative and helpful. Thanks!
Tres bonne video , et je crois que je vais opter pour ne pas cacher le trou, comme vous dite "ca va faire partie du designe"
Very interesting Alain. I have used many of your tips and "fixes" on my projects.
Merci Alain!
Excellent video the most honest well put together video
Thank you for this. Very helpful.
Another great video Alain!
I enjoy ALL of your videos, this one is no exception. :) Cheers from quebec!
Very nice video I really like it and teach me new things
I made a hole by accident in the back of my maple guitar neck while routing the truss rod channel. (long sad story) I am going to fill it with a maple dowel that i am carefully going to try and get the exact grain pattern. Shouldn't be to hard because there is only 1 line of grain going through the hole.
Merci pour le vidéo!
Muy buen trabajo. Un laboratorio de carpinteria.
Great job! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you
Very informative video - thank you Alain!
This video is very helpful, thank you. You sound a little bit like Grover too
Great video Alain!
We always learn from you. Thanks
Great Info Alain. A few there that I was not aware of. Big Thanks
Great video!
I like the experiments.
Love this type of video!!!!!! Please more tips and tricks.
This was a great video! Thank you for sharing.
Very nice videos, tips of the trade make great content! Thanks

Excellent video, this is the information useful
Helpful! Thank you!
Thanks
This is exactly what I wanted to see. Thx
nice, helpfully video thanks
Much appreciated
Super. Merci, Alain!
I really enjoyed this video!
Thanks for the video and the insights into wood repair. I enjoy these types of videos. Happy New Year.
Great job thanks. Many woodworkers swear by a mix of sawdust and superglue (CA). Not sure of the paintability of that though. IT's always a challenge getting something that is "invisible" but that can also take a wood finish.
I know, I never do this, but like you said some swear only by that... But it's so hard to fill holes and dents and having an invisible job, unless it's going to be covered by paint....
100%. Plugs are the best way but the most challenging. The table makers often use "bowties" like you said at the end, make it a decorative feature and look "planned"

I like this and all your videos
Very good information. Thank you.
You're welcome
