    Instead of driving a brad in to keep the joints from slipping around, try sprinkling a few grains of table salt. (Literally use your fingers to sprinkle on a tiny amount.) The crystals are sharp enough to dig into the wood (sugar is not), yet dissolve after being in the glue for a few minutes. This provides more than enough time to get clamps on. Works great for miters, edge gluing, etc. It's extremely fast & there's no metal to find a blade in the future. =)

      Good tip. I have never used salt but seen other makers do that.

    April, I am in awe of you! I have been a 30 plus year hospital builder and a union trained carpenter. It has been many years since I have actually worked with my hands, given the fact that I have been managing multi million dollar hospitals all over the US. So for me getting back into shop work and following you has been so extremely helpful! I have built your workbench, and wood cart and they are PERFECT for my shop. Your tips are very down to earth and easy to follow!
    How about some videos on using different types of tools? Plunge routers, different types of router bits and their uses, different types of joining, biscuits, dovetail, dowels? Which types are easiest to figure out and use.
    Please keep the videos coming lady!

  • @whitewolf8758
    @whitewolf8758 3 года назад +2

    I have two more you can add to your list that works great. First is a "C" spring clamp put on with a special pliers. Second is using pinch dogs on the backside to pull miters in. These come in many sizes and look like steel staples which are hammered in to drive the miter together.

  • @IceTurf
    @IceTurf 3 года назад +28

    1:45 looks like that second notched clamp pushed your mitre apart.

    • @JohnColgan.
      @JohnColgan. 3 года назад +16

      I noticed that too. Notching clamps should be approx midline of the mitre, no need to double up, the ²nd clamp position was outside of the mitre area and pulled if apart

    • @kyleowens5646
      @kyleowens5646 3 года назад +2

    Lots of good mitering tips. Having spent far too many hours trying to adjust miters and eliminate gaps, I found the best way to cut accurate miters is to build a miter sled for your table saw. If it's accurately built, when you cut mating piece on opposite sides, you'll get a perfect miter. It's saved me many hours of adjusting and sanding.

    Awesome tips thank you. I replaced all my doors, jams, casing, etc. I cut a bunch of 3/4”x3/4”x1” nubs used 18g brads nailing them at the miters and used the smaller clamps. Then I could just twist them off and fill the holes. Of course I came up with that about 5 windows into the job 🤦🏼‍♂️.

  • @davidlang576
    @davidlang576 3 года назад +8

    Good advise here, BUT in tip #1, you put in the video, the playing cards are in the wrong spot to close up the inside of the miter, it should of been out at the end of the fence, so the cut will cut a smidge off of the long point of the miter! That is the way to do it. But, none the less, good info!!!!

    I had not seen the notched block technique. I will definitely use those going forward.

    • @DavyHulme
      @DavyHulme 3 года назад

      Only use a notched block to clamp roughly in the mid point of the joint itself ie the first position shown on the video.
      The 2nd clamp is too far away from the joint - you can see it actually pulls the mitre open in the video when tightened.
