What CELERY Can Teach You About WOOD...A Beginners Guide To Carpentry And Woodworking!
When I see new DIYers and woodworkers struggle with their board cuts, or building their projects, I realize that they're often failing to understand the basic nature of wood itself. To get a better sense of how wood works...they can just look at CELERY!
Celery and wood share a similar CELLULAR STRUCTURE.
They both have longitudinal cell groups, like straws, that transport water and nutrients from their roots to their leaves (through the stalk or trunk).
These long bunches of cells give both celery and wood a GRAIN PATTERN. This is the appearance of long lines in their fiber, which run from one end of the board or stalk to the other.
This similar grain pattern affects how they respond to stress--particularly the stress of cutting or breaking.
Be sure to check out the video to see the rest of the details!
Thanks for watching!

This is something that I learned as a kid in baseball and karate.
Yep, both great examples, Dwayne. Board splitting in karate is all about grain lines. But the skinny shaft of an ash or hickory baseball bat can withstand utterly tremendous forces. 👍
Karate baseball? That's a cool concept.
@@ipick4fun27 I guess today, kids only use aluminum bats in little league because they don't break. But I was taught to have the label face me or you will crack the bat.
I am starting a celeryworking channel. Ranch dip is my wood glue. You heard it here first.
It will be the greatest ranch content in history 👨🍳
LOL 🤣 Love it!
The quick shot of bagged celery when showing the photos of linked tools at the end was A+ 😂
Instructions unclear. Topped my salad with wood and framed my basement with celery.
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Great job. I teach biology. I'm going to use this video when I teach my class about xylem and phloem. Several of my students are in tech programs. Having an example that they recognize as useful and being connected to something they will actually use should make them more motivated. Thanks
That’s awesome, Robert! I love hearing that you students are also studying the trades. Tell them to keep it up, and I hope the video helps them!
That was a very good and interesting comparison. You actually find yourself listening and watching intently to something you'd normally think is weird. That's how good that comparison was. Thanks Ethan!
Ethan? That's William Zabka. Actor extraordinaire.
I cannot believe I never thought of that comparison! I've been doing woodworking my entire adult life and never thought of that. I always used straws to explain it. This is just fantastic.
I would have added that cross cut blades have much more teeth than rip blades for that reason but awesome and yes PB and celery is awesome!
Great point on the saw teeth, Dave! This is why I want to start doing video courses in addition to RUclips-I can cover so much more stuff in depth that way, and saw tooth count would have definitely come up in that video course. Thanks for writing in!
Thanks for the lesson.. I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.
I LOVE the way you explain the woodworking/carpentry topics. I wish you had a class or a course where you teach about woodworking. I would totally subscribe or buy those courses. Keep up the great work and videos!
I would gladly pay for a class that Ethan was teaching. He is an exceptional teacher.
Thanks so much! I’ve actually been thinking about this a lot lately, and I think that some topics really are much better suited for courses and lessons than they are for RUclips…so I may start developing a video course plan soon! 😄
this is a very good explanation/comparison; to those who make cooking videos, this should be recommended while explaining whether to cut/slice onions and ginger (and meat too, but i don't eat meat) in one direction or the other
The first thing those who cook would do is shake their heads at the knife technique 😝
Another great lesson! Everything you pointed out was right on point..
And his Kobra Kai lessons are even better.
Loved the fact you show an online shopping page for celery :D
This was very interesting thank you for explaining it this way.
And his Kobra Kai lessons are even better. F that Ralph Macchio guy.
You, sir, are not only a master CARPENTER, but a MASTER TEACHER 🎓 as well !!! 😃🤘 This is truly THE most wonderfully explained lesson on wood-grain I have ever come across on RUclips... EXCELLENT job 🙏
Thank you so much, Scott! I see teaching as by far my most important function here on the internet. I really appreciate that feedback. 🙂
I'm glad you addressed the wood / peanut butter issue-- and that I stuck around long enough before heading to the kitchen.
Brilliant! Making analogies like this is what clicks that “aha!” lightbulb in the noobie. I had a science teacher in high school that constantly came up with ideas like this to teach us through humor.
Thanks monkey! I truly hope this helps it all click for some newcomers 🙂
Love how you contemplated potential celery warp. LOL. As an aside, I grow celery in my veggie garden; don’t treat it right and it gets woody, too woody even for peanut butter. 😊❤
First to another great vid! Thank you so much for all the knowledge you have imparted over the years, I went from knowing almost nothing to knowing a good amount of pieces of useful info. The channel is one of my favorites!
Great job. Celery was a good choice for comparison to wood grain. The peanut butter humor was a nice touch.
Ethan - GREAT analogy: wood-vs-celery! I'd never considered it before this video, but you are absolutely correct, and you presented it very clearly and very understandably. Well done!
I've been eating PB&Tree for years, never occurred to me to try it with celery. Probably much easier to chew. Thanks Ethan! 😉
All that fiber, Kurt 😋
As always another great video thanks for sharing your experience
Couldn't wait until later to watch this one. Just the title alone was more than enough to get my curiosity up and going, wondering how it was to get from point A to point wood in the end!
Good one Ethan!
Love your videos, fun and informative to watch!
The celery link at the end was a nice touch 😂
😏
You explain things so well and this analogy is something I will always remember when working with wood. You are always the first place I come for carpentry advice. Thanks for being such an excellent teacher!
Thanks so much, Quinn! Thank you!
🤣🤣🤣 mind blown! Great fun tutorial, thanks Ethan!
Ethan??? That's Bill Zabka. Professional a$$ kicker.
GREAT analogy!
Great video ethan.
Excellent vid!
Great analogy!!!
Great video!❤
Thanks! Very informative!
Ethan! You da' man! Another excellent video!
Very informative! Thanks for posting
Again a very helpful video Ethan. Thank you.
Great vid! Lots of basic need to know info.
Thank you...great comparison...smart
Great video. Didactic and clear, thanks.
Lol!!!! Dude,I think this may be the first time I've seen you breaking character with your celery humor. Absolutely loved it.
Also, besides being a highly knowledgeable carpenter, I would love to know where you developed your fantastic ability to communicate the way you do. You provide exceptional examples with a scientific understanding and approach.
Thanks so much, surendra! I greatly appreciate that. And every now and then I have to drop some carpentry humor! 😂
great explanation. thanks
Well presented and interesting. Thank you....
VERY useful analogy.! Thanks!
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
What a great comparison !!
Great explanation
Great example. Thanks Ethan.
Excellent comparison!
Great comparison
Your a real teacher.
Common knowledge to bushcrafter's.
Even paper has a grain.
Great analogy. Thanks.
Thank you, Muts! Good point 😄
Thank you 😂 funny plus very educational 👏👏👏
Great terminology and comparison
Good analogy.
Excellent analogy! Now I’ll be waiting for celery furniture to hit the market 😁
Thank you! That was very informative and helpful.
@@Thehonest_carpenter571 I’m not certain how to do that via RUclips.
I can't stop myself from upvoting before I even watch the video because I know it's gonna be good.
👍😄
Excellent comparison/contrast - thank you!
Thank you, Dawn!
Very interesting, thanks! 👍
This is an excellent breakdown for the new woodworker
Ethan, that was genius! Great way to compare something and have it make perfect sense. I really enjoyed that!
This is a fantastic video.
Good analogy. I always learn something. Thanks Ethan.
Ethan? That's William Zabka. Professional ASS Kicker.
Keep it coming
Great explanation. This was really informative. Thank you.
Thank you, Jmanon!
Really clever way to illustrate your point.
Refreshing in all ways.
Thank-you ,I like educational videos. This one was very clear to me, not that the others weren't. Keep up the good work, you do know what you're talking about and I enjoy your videos.
genus, pure genus! this was my first video and I love it already!
Excellent!
I love the fun and humor you put into this excellent explanation. Be sure to include this in your many captivating explainer videos to come!
Always enjoy your videos & like your comparison btw celery & wood, good stuff!
Thank you, Dan!
Great analogy and very funny.
Great video 👍🪓📐🔨
That is a very good way to explain wood, and why it will split along the grain so easy. My old shop teacher back in school never explained it to us like that !!
Thanks for the lessens Mr. James
I always have a good sawblade with alot of teeth in my miter saw to make better cuts but I hadn't realized that going slower on the miter cuts can also give me better cuts too. Thank you for this video.
B h cubed divided by 12 = the moment of inertia for a rectangular section. The h is cubed that’s why the tall dimension is used in the vertical position. Strong orientation.
A great video Idea I think would be to go in depth on types of wood used as lumber and in construction/ strengths and weaknesses of hardwoods and softwoods in building. Great info as always !
Basically, no hardwoods are used in building, other than interior trim, cabinets, etc. At least in the US. They are too valuable to cover up.
Thank you, Jonathan! I'm thinking about starting to offer online courses through my website, and tackling the huge variety of lumber available, and explaining where and why each kind is used, is one of the things I absolutely want to cover in detail. Thanks for watching!
@@jobacuda4472 This is true!
Another good comparison for wood and food! I love your show. Ray
Thanks surfboardman 😁
This comparison helped solidify the grain idea for me. Thank you!
Never tried to peanut butter wood though. Lol
Good info! :)
Here’s one you could explore. As a painter of 31 years, is it better to clean off the “gray” dead wood fibres then prime and paint? Or, with many specialty primers, prime that gray layer and lock those fibers in then paint? Pressure washing can remove up to 1/8” of wood making the board weaker.
Wow, thank you for teaching this in a simple way that even I can understand. Very interesting, I am now a subscriber and will be watching all your videos.
Excellent video, much appreciated 👍🏼✝️
love the PB line
😆
Excellent. The science behind the craft, as you explained it, was valuable. Thank you.
Thank you, Jonathan!
Thank you so much! 👍
Great breakdown! I bet even some experienced woodworkers don't fully understand this
Thank you very much. Exquisite teaching to us all. Please take care and stay safe. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎
Thank you, Tawni! Really glad it’s helpful 🙂
Interesting comparison.
Good content
Very interesting! And I appreciated seeing how the different "sides" of the wood affect it's strength.
Also, better understanding how the tools affect the cuts was very helpful! (As a newbie).
Thanks again!
Thank you for the feedback, Natasha! Really glad this view helps 🙂
Great way to model the wood, with the celery, to help in visualizing what you are trying to explain. Loved the peanut butter joke at the end.
I love this analogy. I use all kinds in my instructor roles, but have yet to come across them being used well in carpentry vids. Very well done!
Thank you, LilWolf! Analogy is such an effective instructional tool. I plan to use more 🙂
You are incredible.
Those karate board breaking is always with the grain. There would be many broken hands trying the break a board cross grain.
That helps so much I had no idea
So helpful
Very good.
Okay, I actually looked for the celery in the links below! Hahaha. V nice job
