my favourite was the dust collection as i can barely afford to buy the tools never mind the accesories to go with them, love the vids and cant wait to see what comes next
I don’t know if I would use any of these as shown, but this video has given me an idea on what I might be able to do with dust collection off my planer. Much thanks on showing solutions from outside the box!
“Chances of me not being able to locate the workbench is very low”. 😂🤣. Great stuff thanks. I may have to start attaching more stuff to my work bench. Thanks for the great video.
A veteran construction worker who does pretty much everything. I have used these hacks on my daily. The jug and circular saw is something I have done when I need to make a quick cut in a finished condo. Worked real well. The caulking gun one. Yup been there. Did a whole window job after I lent my actual caulking gun to a fellow worker and said I don’t need this. I’ll make one.
Some nice tips, the magnetic-based dust port is a great idea, am in the middle of setting up dust collection and I'll be using that. Another tip for magnets, if you have an old computer and want to dispose of the hard-drive, open it up and remove the magnets, they have a couple of very strong magnets inside (also a great way to ensure the data can't be recovered!).
I've only watched a few of your videos, but I am impressed. Smart solutions. Efficient videos. Entertaining and informative. Keep up the excellent work! Love it.
I used your idea on my saw, when to work and you're right, I did get a lot of kidding, but the next day a couple of guys showed up with their saws, with the jug. LOL
I like your ideas! I plan to make three of them, the circular saw dust port but I'll collect it to my dust collector. The hacksaw blade attached to my work bench and the dust port for the drill press. Thank you!
Thank you for the tips! LOVE them, especially how you share ways we can use other materials to make tools we don't have. Super helpful and please keep making the videos!!
Hi Glen As a DIY woodworker, I have only just come across your videos….. I’m hooked! About to start a binge session of your tips and advice. Excellent ideas, that my late father would have appreciated too. Keep up the good work and thank you so much for sharing. Stay safe. Helen B.
That suction hose is always giving me troubles when sawing perfectly. I rather don't use it because it's an annoying thing to work with. Your solution is a great one. Thanks.
"Chances of me not finding the workbench are very low." Careful there, I was just about to drink some coffee, would not want hot coffee running through my nose. :D
My solution for a missing caulk gun is the same as my solution for missing fingernail clippers. Buy one every time you can't find one until you have one everywhere.
@@handytbutler7380 I have 3.5 tape measures.... 3 are awol, and when I can't find that 4th one, it likes to pop into vision when I can't seem to find my car keys to go out and buy a 5th
I think you've got amazing hacks, especially the circular saw hack. I'm glad you came up with the caulking gun hack because I just got this huge caulk w only the small size gun. I can now use my large clamp instead of purchasing one the I may never use again. Keep giving us useful hacks!!!
To be honest I picked up way more from that video than I thought I would. A+ video! Never even thought about making a dust system for my drill press or using it as a spindle sander. Also loved the circular saw dust jug and diy marking gauge!
I was over at my mom's friend place for supper and she told us her story of earlier that same day her husband Harold who was working on the house needed some Caulking and didn't want to stop working so he sent her to the store to go get it. With car keys in hand and as she was closing the door he blurted "Make sure you get the BIG STRETCHY BRAND!" (as a joke).... so she went to Canadian Tire and found a young lad (maybe 16-17yrs) on a short ladder stocking the higher up shelves and she walked up to him and in these exact words said; "Excuse me,.... I'm looking for Big stretchy Caulk.".... without a word, The boy climbed down the ladder, turned away from her and quickly made a B-line straight into the back room (about 10-15 ft away), with the backroom door still swinging he was out of view (just around the corner from the door), but she heard him call a co-worker over, and he repeated what she had said to him and they both cracked up laughing... It was at that moment that she had realized what was interpreted. She turned beat red, and left the store as quickly as possible. When she got home Harold looked confused and asked "Where's the Caulking?!?" We all pissed ourselves laughing when she told us what had happened.
I came in to see what you were doing with that milk jug, but I stuck around bc of the high quality of your video production. Great skill, nice video! Thanks for sharing your tips.
Having just watched this video, I am so glad I stumbled across your channel. I feel like a kid at Christmas, I can’t wait to watch more of your videos!😊 Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge, especially with a beginner like me, who is dyslexic and not the best at maths,😬. Also being a visual learner, your videos look to tick all the boxes. You are the first channel to make me turn on alerts.😊 Thank you.
Great ideas, thank you! The jug dust collector will be very helpful for me. The hacksaw blade thing is genius, and I think I want to place a blade on every surface, because I will forget where I put my knife or scissors.
Hi Glen, I really enjoy your videos and the hack in this one about the marking tool is great. I've actually had a marking tool in my tool box for 25 years from a former career byt didnt realize what it was lol. It wasnt until I started woodworking and doing handyman work did I realize it. It was actually placed in a pile for AmVets as a give away when I realized it's value in my shop! I quickly took it back! For those who don't have one, the screw is brilliant.
Saw your woodworking tips. Kudos to you: very helpful. What you could have showed: HOW to make and install a DUST port for a circular saw that does not have one. Hope you include it in your next video. I'd like to make one for my older circular saw. Thanks !
Glen, I love your hacks and tips (the jug as a dust collector was really cool). More tips and tricks videos when you can, please. Peace and stay creative :)
You helped inspire me to get into woodworking. Just bought my first table saw, miter saw, and I'm almost done building my first built in dresser and wardrobe. Good tips here!
I have three caulk guns but no large clamps, so I'm going to reverse your hack and use a caulk gun as a clamp on the rare occasion i need a larger one! :)
Brother, you are a lot like me. I have been called MacGyver for years and years, and I enjoy being a master of improvisation. Rarely, and I do mean rarely am I EVER not able to figure some kind of work around to get out of a bind. Great to see someone else that can think on their feet and find an alternative way to accomplish a goal without making a trip to Home Depot. Love the simple but utterly efficient dowel marking jig. I've done the same sort of thing using a piece of 1×2, 9" long. I put an 8 penny nail exactly 1" from one end that sticks out 1/8" on the opposite side. Then put a series of sheet rock screws at the opposite end at 1/2", 1", 1 1/2", 2" and so on up to 4 ". I can use this to mark a line from a straight edge using any 2 screws on the one end, and marking out circles using the nail end as my center pivot point and any screw to get a circle up to 4" in half inch steps. Of course you can make this in any length with any stepped incremental deminsions you like. And there you go !!!
Love it. You’re too cool. Glad I found you. I got one for you. I’ve used this idea many times and its saved me a few times. (You have a hole where the screw has wore the hole too big and you can’t use a fatter screw, what to do? You get some wooden tooth picks and shove them into the hole and put your screw back in.) Works great.
It is said that there are two DISTINCT types of engineers: The ones always seated at a desk, and those who get their hands dirty... guess which ones are better!
What's your favorite?
My favorite is the clamp caulk gun, I already use the hacksaw blade trick. Keep up the amazing work.
you are my favorite. i inspire to become a man like u.
Hacksaw blade paper/tape cuter! Nice job man
my favourite was the dust collection as i can barely afford to buy the tools never mind the accesories to go with them, love the vids and cant wait to see what comes next
Dust collection for the circ saw. My problem is there isn't a port on my saw though...
Milk jug ...brilliant. I,m going to spray my jug bright yellow so everyone will see that its a Dewalt attachment!
Konnex ions haha
Konnex ions that’s genius! 😂
Hehe!! Great idea!
Hahahahahah!!! The DEWALT attachment; by spraying it bright yellow! "To funny, but a great idea at a very great price" 🤣😂🤣👍
Thank u for smart over smar solutions 👍
I appreciate a man who has every tool in his arsenal, but only use a few basic one in these DIY videos. Really understand your audience.
That hacksaw blade on the bench hack....AWESOME! Will be a game changer at my craft station for cutting papers and ribbons!
"chances of me not being able to locate the workbench are pretty low..." Love it!
But not 0 😉
Yeah that part made me laugh. This guy is a freaking genius.
I just choked on my coffee when he said that 🤣. Great tip too
The wife looked at me like I was nuts when I laughed about it. Because I know people who couldn't find their ass in the dark with both hands😄
I was just going to comment the same thing😆
I don’t know if I would use any of these as shown, but this video has given me an idea on what I might be able to do with dust collection off my planer. Much thanks on showing solutions from outside the box!
In the words of my father, “It’s amazing what you can do with the wrong tool and a little imagination.”
“Chances of me not being able to locate the workbench is very low”. 😂🤣. Great stuff thanks. I may have to start attaching more stuff to my work bench. Thanks for the great video.
This video was worth it just for the dust collection! Well done.
Sandpaper cutter...added to my workbench. Will go get magnet for my drill press...great ideas.

Thats a great tip, I never thought to get those magnets.
Call them hacks or call them alternatives.... they were some of the best I've seen to this day
I liked the screw marker gauge, so simple, so brilliant but they were all good ideas! 👍🏻
Талантливый парень, спасибо тебе! Многие вещи взял для руководства. Уважение!✊
I really like the milk bottle collecting the saw dust...this is a good hack.
I've only watched a few of your videos, but I am impressed. Smart solutions. Efficient videos. Entertaining and informative. Keep up the excellent work! Love it.

Nothing like people laughing at you like you are a fool. Next day they join the circus as well. Last laugh.
If it looks stupid and it works is not really stupid is working smarter lol.
There has to be something else like a bag that would look more legit
DeputyRJCH Great Tip! Nobody laughed when they saw how good it worked!
@@jamessonke4411 LOL it's called a "Shop Vac".
hahaha.... "WHERE THE HELL DID I PUT MY WORKBENCH!?!?!"
🤣 🤣 🤣
it was in the small tool box with the screws a couple of minutes ag ...
I like your ideas! I plan to make three of them, the circular saw dust port but I'll collect it to my dust collector. The hacksaw blade attached to my work bench and the dust port for the drill press. Thank you!
MacGyver of woodworking. Great ideas. Make the best of what you got. Brilliant.
Thanks for the tips. My favorites are the drill press vacuum set up. The magnet!!!!
And the caulking tube with the clamp,
Hacksaw blade for the sandpaper will definitly come in handy thanks!!!!
Thank you for the tips! LOVE them, especially how you share ways we can use other materials to make tools we don't have. Super helpful and please keep making the videos!!

Any dust collector is better than no dust collector . Nice hack with the milk bottle
I love the simplicity and practicality of your hacks. Awesome channel mate glad I discovered it.
That suction hose is always giving me troubles when sawing perfectly. I rather don't use it because it's an annoying thing to work with. Your solution is a great one. Thanks.

I think your show is great... I am a school bus driver... that loves woodworking any good tip are wonderful.. Go bless. Upstate New York Fan
I may try this for my orbital sander......yours works mighty fine!
i had 30 years experience as a carpenter/woodworker, this dude gives good advice!!
He's very busy though, would you be my mentor, take questions, build a house with me lol kidding on the last one
@@karenhill3356 sure! what do you need?
My solution for a missing caulk gun is the same as my solution for missing fingernail clippers. Buy one every time you can't find one until you have one everywhere.
They seem to have the mindset of keeping themselves found when needed.
Then, instead of using a clamp as a caulk gun, you can use your caulk guns as clamps.
i have about seven caulk guns lol, but 12 tape measurers too... wife gets pissed...
Lol you too ?
@@handytbutler7380 I have 3.5 tape measures.... 3 are awol, and when I can't find that 4th one, it likes to pop into vision when I can't seem to find my car keys to go out and buy a 5th
"because I frequently misplace anything smaller than a table saw" 😆 That is the truth.
I only buy yellow or orange tape measure. The silver ones disappear among the tools.
“Chances of me not being able to locate the workbench is *very* low” Hahaha!! @5:20
😂 he knows us all so well..all my tools are in one of three places:
In use..
It’s home...
Or lost!
The time spent looking for things = the time spent making things.
That damn jug thing is a stroke of brilliance!
Thats a great way to gather fire tinder too, awesome!
"Chances of me not locating the workbench are very low." Classic.
Love the tips and the comment at 5m 20s “Chances of me not being able to locate the workbench is quite low,” 😆😆
that statement alone made me hit the subscribe button
After a long weekend at the bar...Maybe, But you can always find the floor..HeHe
Amazing just found this channel and I love it👍👍👍
Your in for a treat this dude has hundreds of awesome project and ideas in general !
The Milk Carton was worth it alone! Great idea and I do like these type of videos!

Genius - pure genius - thanks.

Now I know Glen also can't find his stuff I admire the guy even more
Favorite line: “as long as you don’t mind being that funny looking person on a job site with a bottle attached to your circular saw...” 😂😂
Great tips!
What an incredible hack. I can't wait to try this. I'm thinking the drilled holes are necessary to relieve pressure. Now that's thinking!

"I don't know about you, but I have trouble keeping track of anything in my shop that is smaller than a table saw." -are you my twin?
Man, I wish RUclips allowed a two-thumbs-up - this was awesome! I especially liked the sandpaper/tape cutter - added to my work bench!
Love the "chances of me losing a work bench are very low"
The dowel marking gauge is simply brilliant , as is the hacksaw hack, nice one.
Great hacks on my low budget DIY! Thanks for your awesome ideas!
"chances of not being able to locate the workbench is very low" -- brilliant!
LOW BUT NEVER ZERO! LOL

Beautiful! Thanks.
My favorite? - using the speed square as a guide for the circular saw!!
I've been woodworking for 5 years now and didn't even think about half of the ideas you mentioned...wow!!!! Total Respect!
15 years 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and ikr
You could try some small rubber bands around the threads of the milk jug would probably hold it into the PVC tube. Great Video !
Awesome! Love the dust collecting hacks!
File the head of the screw to sharpen the edge
And who doesn’t have 15 caulking guns . Every corner of my shops has a caulking gun 😐
Glen, I love your hacks and tips (the jug as a dust collector was really cool). More tips and tricks videos when you can, please.
Peace and stay creative :)
These are great tips! I especially love the two dust collection solutions. I'll hang on to a couple of milk jugs in the future 😁
Same here wonder what would work better big jugs or small ones
@@adrianb9081 Good question
Are u a carpenter
So u are a carpenter
Thank you so much for those convenient tips
Like the bottle idea for dust, remind me of my Dad and Grandpa, I have all kinds of custom tools that I inherited.
The hacksaw blade cutter!! Awesomeness. "I'll lose it if it isn't the size of a table saw"
The holes in the jug do help.
In fact, they are critical to allow air flow.
You helped inspire me to get into woodworking. Just bought my first table saw, miter saw, and I'm almost done building my first built in dresser and wardrobe. Good tips here!
Hey Joshua that's awesome. Have you been able to continue in this journey?
Great practical tips! Thanks Glenn.
Milk jug! Great!
I like this. Don't have a specific tool? Use your mind to find a different solution!
exactly
"trouble keeping up with anything smaller than a table saw..." ha, ha, love that, and soooooo true! Another great video - thanks!
I have three caulk guns but no large clamps, so I'm going to reverse your hack and use a caulk gun as a clamp on the rare occasion i need a larger one! :)
LOLOL. I’m dying.
Great tips! Love the hack saw blade trick! Thanks very much
Loved the dust collection. None of my circular saws have a dust port

Thanks, great tips my friend! 😎👍
Great video. I will definitely use the milk jug idea. I’ll have to check the rest of your videos.
Smart ideas with plastic to keep dust in one area love❤️both
I like your sense of humor. "Chances of me not being able to locate the workbench are pretty low..." lol
"Chances of me not being able to locate my work bench -> very low".
Had me dead😂
same here i died listening to that haha
Actually needed this genuine LOL today
I love the idea of using the drill press as a drum sander! Thanks
ThePremiumChicken I was starting to think that I was the only one that thought that was new 🧐
Great ideas. You are the Jeremy Fielding of wood working.
More videos like this would be great. I like learning a hack or 2 for just about everything in life
Missed opportunity not showing how to use your caulking gun as a clamp
Love it. You’re too cool. Glad I found you. I got one for you. I’ve used this idea many times and its saved me a few times. (You have a hole where the screw has wore the hole too big and you can’t use a fatter screw, what to do? You get some wooden tooth picks and shove them into the hole and put your screw back in.) Works great.
Dude! That is brilliant way to creative to make carpenter life easier! Thank you! 🙌🏼🤙🏼
Thanks for the tips I LIKE the milk jug!!!!!
Very cool 😎.
My fav wS all the dust collectors 😃👍🏾
Are you an engineer? You seem to have an easy thoughtfully-designed solution to many minor/major dilemmas.
It is said that there are two DISTINCT types of engineers: The ones always seated at a desk, and those who get their hands dirty... guess which ones are better!
Dust collector and hacksaw sandpaper were my favorites. Fantastic!
"Chances of me not being able to locate the work bench is very low" .... fact 🤣🤣
I loved that line.
He must not have seen my garage. I loose where the door is sometimes. It takes me a week of organizing just to find the light switch.
