    Thanks James! This is awesome advice and, as always, it’s presented with crystal clear step by step easily reproducible video instruction. I tend to get frustrated when my stock is just barely under for the project, and that frustration leads to panicky searches for a suitable replacement. With this knowledge, I will be able to keep my head and seek a solution with a clear head and measured actions. Priceless.
    As always Stump, Thanks!

    • @ScoutSniper3124
      @ScoutSniper3124 2 года назад +12

      My sister used to break candy bars in half, carefully align the bottom edges and nibble off the top several times until they were as "close to even" as humanly possible. Then she would let me pick which piece I got... you know, just to be absolutely fair about it, and so there was NO WAY she could cheat me.
      It took me a while to catch on. In later years, I came to the horrible realization its quite similar to how the IRS and U.S. Government work "Fairness" when it comes to "Taxes".

But it's definitely something to keep in my log of used woodworking things, that don't get used often. But when you need it, it's comes in handy. Thanks for another great video.

  • @pirakoXX
    @pirakoXX 2 года назад

    Brilliant 👍 The board "thickening" trick would be useful if wanting to hide the edges of a plywood top/board at the same time, using pieces of solid wood matching the plywood, and it would look a lot better than the usual edge grain (look) of solid wood or worse, edge grain printed plastic strips trim!!

    On the stretching joint, could a biscuit or similar style joint help on the overall strength of the finished board?
    I'm not sure if you talked about that, my mind was processing the "of course" moment.

    You can use anhydrous ammonia to temporarily partially liquify the lignin in wood, and while it's in it's elastic state, you can literally stretch it. It's a big and expensive set-up, especially to contain and control the ammonia in an anhydrous state so not too practical for a small shop. I did my thesis on this procedure in my furniture design program way back in the early 70's. The Rochester Institute of Technology has several examples of 1" x 1" white oak literally tied in knots using this technique.

    My drafting teacher told us a story that his woodshop teacher had this "Wood growth formula" that the students could use on important projects so they woulden't have to recut wood if they cut them too short and he had the student stand the plank in a tub with the "formula" which was just water with some yellow/brown food coloring in it and leave it overnight. What the teacher would do is that he would take the plank and cut a new one in the right size and put it back in the tub before the next time the student was in class. He thought everyone knew he was joking until on a parents visit event at the school the father of one of the students asked where he could get some of the formula so he had to stand there and explain to both the parent and student that he was pranking them for a good portion of the year.

    Well you got me on this one. Not a board stretcher but a splicer. Old trick. be doing it for years. Not a good Idea for structural members but great for when you need to use your finish materials wisely. From the comments below it's not a very well know trick so good job Passing it on to the next generation.

      Yes and it was very good and informative. I am one of those who would tease my laborers with sending them to find a box of toenails or getting a board stretcher. You are one of the best teachers of wood working on the internet. I look forward to you videos each week. I have gone back in your video history to watch your old ones too. I love your wit and humor

    Stretching and thickening boards. Well worth knowing.
