Shannon talks, I listen.
Love the idea about holding half way then snapping. I am not only a woodworker but a quilter also. We quilters have a chalkline chalk that just brushes off. It comes in pink, blue & white. I bought empty chalk line cases & filled my own with the quilters chalk. The actual quilters chalkline case was just too lightweight. The blue & pink work great on drywall and wood also. Thank you for another great video. This girl learns something new every time I watch!
Great info on the quilting chalk . Thanks
I actually needed these basic foundations! If you're open to suggestions please also do how to drill straight for dowels, patchwork on walls, painting without streaks, ensure 90degree angles for joining and and how to affix shelves to wall.
Thanks! I wasn't aware of the different colors or how to snap an especially long line. But, as a retired video pro, I really want to compliment the camera person. Good audio and white balance. Well lit. And very good shots, going from wides to close-ups at the appropriate times.
Great to hear!
Okay now I know how to use this thing. This is my first time using one. Thank you!!!
Always happy to be reminded of the basics! Thanks for taking the time.
Definitely an under used tool today but still one of the most valuable! Thanks for keeping it real!
never disappointed with your vids, always informative and helpful.thanks for your time and sharing
I appreciate that!
Thank you of all the videos I watched tonight. Yours was the onlyone who informed me of the most simplest thing you have to measure from the base to where you want the nail on both sides and then draw the line across
Thank you for another great video. I really appreciate it.
Amazing idea for long distance snapping
Great tips Shannon, as always, and great timing for me. Thank you. Am gonna go test out my new chalk line now.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for sharing. 😀
Very useful thank you
Some very good advice
Thanks you 🤗
Thank you.
Love the half way snap! I think trying to snap a 20’ distance in middle was causing two lines to show up because of how high I was lifting it.
I wish the knuckleheads who built my house would have watched this video -- all of yours in fact. Thanks!
@D W oath keeper NH
thank you. Im chalk line pro now
Love your videos keep up the great work.
I thought you might talk about the plum drop feature in the chalk line.
Great suggestion!
You can also knock a nail at the end then wrap the line around it a few times to keep it taut the end of the chalk line also has a clip which can be used as shown, but it normally has a hole it in that you can peg with a nail too. thanks and blessings.
Great tip!
Wow, what a great simple video. I’ve been using these for ever, but so much I didn’t know. Will you do videos like this for all tools? I should get on the forum!
Check my tool video section on the channel. We have many videos including tools
if your roofing alone and snaping a 60 or 100 ft run can you tie it off on a nail and go snap middle? or can you tie a dry line with no chalk instead and mark the middle, and maybe other two middles you created there too then go back with chalk line and snap it in two or 4 diff sections?
I also use my chalk line as a plumb bob.
Thanks. I think I’m going to add a red line to my toolbox so I can make quick lines for a lone cut. If I use blue, my circular saw blows the chalk away.
😊👍
How to snap a longer line 👍. Obvious - once you see it done. Thanks.
Wow, I didn't even know there was other colors other than blue chalk, I guess I never really noticed
👍👍😊
Most chalklines can also be used as a plumbob
A few of you have brought that up and it was a point I forgot to mention for sure.
CAN I SHARE YOUR VIDEOS? I am a Realtor in the Fort Worth TX area and am looking for great videos to share on my Facebook page. Do you mind if I share some of your content?
The old chalk clone you can use it as a plumb bob
Shannon do you think you could beat up Mike Holmes?
some chalk lines double as a plumb-bob.
Absolutely ,pretty much any one would , I forgot to mention that.
You're very informative, and easy to understand. However, I have a suggestion: I'm a retired college educator and a public speaker. I find that when I talk to any kind of audience, I need have some expression on my face. I smile, and express an interest in my viewers. My face has expression, as though I were having a conversation with someone. I think if you did that, you would add more of a personality to your videos.
So many times I was in the middle of a job and I pulled it out and there was nothing there.
Yup load it up from the beginning to get that line coated in chalk
so you cant even snap a 20 foot line without holding it in the middle? theres gotta be a way you can do it yourself, what if you were snaping 60 foot lines on a roof?
Well 20' may be a bit of exaggeration , but after about 40 ' if you can't pull it tight enough or your string is not great you will likely need to pinch mid span
BABY POWDER on painted walls.
You're welcome.
nice idea!
