    When you remove the messing about, jokes and general on camera entertainment, videos like this really highlight just how good of both a craftsman and teacher you are. Would love to see more of these.

    • @arrrexx
      @arrrexx Год назад +4

      I think you mean When you include those things* I would instead like to highlight how important it is to have teachers like this who mess about, joke and entertain while clearly demonstrating and explaining something so easily. Proving you can learn to do all of this and have fun (esp. while being safe) is vital to bringing in new learners.

    • @stegles
      @stegles Год назад +5

      @@arrrexx no, I meant what I wrote. I understand your perspective, but we clearly have different learning styles, there is nothing wrong with this, but I require not just the what and how, but they why and technical details also. I like information concise and deliberate, I don’t need jokes when I am trying to learn.
      Don’t get me wrong, I love their videos and I appreciate the humour and lightheartedness when performing a craft, but explicitly for learning, it doesn’t do anything for me.
      Part of the point was also that their videos can be both entertaining and informative when they step out things and focus 100% on the craft, this is a great thing and a credit, not just to the guys on camera, but the people behind the scenes.

    John, the edge jointing method you're mentioning here has been my bread and butter method for the past 40 years, so I agree that it's the way to go. What I do that's different to ensure I place the correct face against the fence, is to follow a simple rhyme: Odds out; evens in. So the odd numbered boards will have the numbered face away from the fence, while the even numbered boards will have their numbered face against the fence. I have found this guarantees I won't err, and the students I've taught this simple system agree.

    That was a great lesson, you're a good teacher. It would be really great if you had 6-8 week classes in your shop, sort of like woodshop when I was in high school a thousand years ago but for the adult home hobbyist. Then again, I'm nowhere near Pitt... so there is that. But a guy can wish! Great Sunday morning video. Thanks!

Not to use my tools as a status symbol.

      @@rikityrik what you also could is I work at Busy Beaver and we often take bad wood and throw it on a pallet and sell for very cheap. There were 16 2/8 by 10 pine boards for 30 dollars the normal cost is like 10 dollars per one so I would go to local places and see if they want to sell the wood they don’t want

    I use tape for layouts all the time too. Painters tape is fine for what you showed and for layout/marking floors for cabinets or to get an idea of how big something is and is awesome for when you need to snap a non-permanent line. My addition and something I use regularly for precision layouts is post-it note or sticky-tape rolls. It's much clearer for sharp lines/contrast and is erasable. It's more expensive than painters tape but I tend to use it only when I need it. Plus it's a quick tear-off post-it note that is more visible than tape.

    All great tips! I'm a huge fan of the glue and sanding one. I used to mix them together into a putty and then stuff it into the cracks, but it's so much easier to just pour in some glue and then sand it in. Not as messy, and faster.
    I have plug cutters, but I've never actually used them yet. I'm going to have to build something that needs them so I can actually make use of them!
    I'd never seen the edge jointing one before. Always love learning something new!

    The edge jointing trick was a game changer for my glue ups. I learned it as the ins and outs trick. It also works at the the table saw but i mark the boards as up and down. Run one board with the face up and the mating edge with the board face down and the same result is achieved. The CA glue blue tape trick also changed the way i work. Do you REALLY need CA glue in your shop? Yes! Yes you do!!
