Excess paint/finishes can be drained from the inside rim of the cans by drilling a tiny hole or holes around the rim deep inside that rim. I use small finishing nails to make my holes. Then us a rag of paper towel and cover the then close lid to be able to tap the lid shut without slinging paint all over you and everywhere around you and that can. I use small finishing nails to make my holes. Great tips! Also, to keep paint from forming a skim over the top, cut a round piece of wax paper ( use your ruler trick to do that!). Lay it over the top of the paint and next opening up you'll have a nice liquid top instead of a hard skim layer.
i genuinely cant see myself watching any other tips and tricks vids now because you cover absolutely everything in more than one way over all your vids. its amazing how one person can have this amount of knowledge to hand i intend to take all of your tips and incorporate them to my new 12x8 shed when it arrives on the 19th TYVM
My tip is when you want to fill a large void in wood. Use baking soda in void then apply CA glue You will be amazed how it works. Just love your videos great job.
When I pour paint I do it out of the front of the can, not across the information side, I usually don't need to read it, but I like the option. On a super OCD day I clean the drips off of the side with a brush, then remove all the paint with a damp towel, keeping the can looking like new.
Another useful trick apart from the tape you show for the tin of paint when you need to take the excesses from the brush is a rubber band, attached to the middle of the tin.
Again, All great tips. I was looking at my picnic table and was wondering what to put on the bottom of each leg so the bottoms don't rot like they did on my old table. And now I know. Thanks for the great tip. Thanks for mentioning the name of the guy that suggested using tape on the top side of the paint can. LOL Barry G. Kery
On heaters, I have a preference for the oil-filled radiator type. There are no exposed elements, and if they get knocked over for some reason, it's not a concern. It would seem to me that the unexposed elements would be particularly beneficial in an area that is prone to having sawdust floating around. Also, aside from some clicking as it warms or cools, those things are silent. Sometimes, I'll place a box fan behind one, set on low, to move the heat across the room. On hand sanitizer; never use the stuff. I like to keep my immune system working, and in good shape. As such, I rarely get sick, even now. Haven't been seriously sick in almost 2 decades.
Great tip for table saw. I noticed yesterday my side guide sloped off at far end from where you stand but I'm making one from hardwood but will be able to clamp it down in place the near end has a clamping lock syster
When painting and room and you want to remember what color paint you used, write the color & brand down on a piece of painter's or masking tape. Then take the plate off of 1 of the bigger receptacles in the room (e.g. light switch) & attach the tape to the back of the receptacle plate
I have a five-gallon bucket. I store my half-empty paint cans in, but I put them upside down. The paint creates its own air-tight seal and they are in the bucket just in case. Never had any paint on the bottom of the bucket, so it must work.
Lots of really good tips on this one, as well as on the others too. I liked the brilliant idea of the 'see through' window on the vac ! Learning lots of really good hacks. Keep it up, Cheers
I love oil filled heaters, for safety. I believe all electric heaters are 100% efficient, meaning that all of the electricity becomes heat, but electric heat is expensive.
To store paint in a jar store the jar upside down. The paint will help to make a better air seal. Mason jars have a good seal on their own but some people recycle other jars that don't seal as well.
About the paint at the bottoms of the woo where it touches the ground, saw a video (cannot remember which channel though) where they soaked the feet in resin and then worked it off again close to the wood worked for many years.
I wanted to leave you a comment because we have come up with a PVC hack for a hinge for a door. This hack came from us making a door to go on geodesic domes made from PVC. I seen you have done many PVC hack videos, so we will be sending you some of our hinges for you to see and test out. If you like them maybe you could make a PVC hack video with them in it.
Fair enough. We still sent you some hinges just for you too see. Do what you want with them. They do have potential for a wide variety of uses not only PVC projects.
Love your channel. I have some planters that I would like to burn the wood to darken it, question, would burning the wood seal the wood fibers making it waterproof? Or what could I seal the wood with, they need to be waterproof for outside use?
From what I know, the burning will help with waterproofing them if they are charred to a fully black finish, but just for safety I would use as outside type of urethane to seal them.
All great "trips and ticks" for me to use in my shop... I love those bloopers at the end... yeah... I meant to do that! (of course ya did 😁 There's no mistakes, just happy accidents ala Bob Ross)
1:14 I think those heaters are called infrared heaters. Matthias Wandel made a system that tracks his movement around the shop to target himself with the heat so he doesn't need to heat up his whole shop. (Not sure if he actually uses said system)
10:00 log size. Get a 15" 1/2 PVC Tube. Put a flat plug on the one end. Attach a Magnet to the plug. When ready to cut log to size put the Magnet on the bar of the chainsaw a Make your mark on the log. Add a couplet and a nother piece to get a bigger size cut.
Ooooh -- it took me a LONG time to understand #7. I kept thinking, "How hard is it to find lumber that is not free? Listen buddy, if you want to pay for lumber, I can certainly help you out with that! You'll be paying though the nose in no time!"
Couple other with CA glue, if the knot has big gaps, or to fix a gash, crack or hole ithe wood, or plastic, use baking soda & ca glue in gap, dries almost instantly, and is hella strong. Sand down and stain/paint covers it. Better than any wood putty, and also more durable! Also if u want to temporarily attach 2 boards or 3 or whatever, put painters tape on every point of connection, and use the ca glue on the tape to attach boards/wood, when done, pull apart and peel tape and no unwanted damage or glue gobs to boards! On another video u had on storing/hanging hoses & electrical cords, instead of buying the velcro straps, cut a piece of 1/2" pvc drill a hole through both ends, feed paracord, or any string through, knot the ends so it can't pull back through and runstring around pvc to choke it and hang by string, weight of hose will cinch it tight and easy remove to use!
PUT ME IN ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS!!!!! Here’s a tip: when using silicone brushes for applying glue, don’t wash them or attempt to remove the glue. Set them upright and let the glue completely dry. Then come back and the entire hardened glue will come off in one piece and the brush will be ready to use. I have a small channel and plenty of other tips as well. Check out one of my videos to see if I pass your screen test. Let’s do this!

Great tips! I'm gonna go paint a letter "A" on my Sthil chainsaw!
That circle trick is nice!!
You have some great tips! Thanks for sharing.
Love all the tips!! Thanks.

These are some really great tips thanks a lot.
HUGE fan of your channel and your style. I look forward to each knew episode. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Frank
The washer trick was the best
Oil heaters are quiet, too, and use a lot less electricity ($$$).

I like the videos that you do, I get a lot of ideas from your channel.
Glad to hear that!

Thank you for your offer, but I am not focusing on just PVC right now. I'm working more with wood and other common workshop ideas and needs.

Thanks Ray. If it wasn't for people like you telling me how much you like them, I might have stopped including them.
Can you show how to make a tennis score keeper out of PVC?
4:20 , you better knot mention that again, it'll make it harder for the rest of us to get knot free wood. ;)
Well said

You might be right.
I did not see that video, I will have to look for it.
10:00 log size. Get a 15" 1/2 PVC Tube. Put a flat plug on the one end. Attach a Magnet to the plug. When ready to cut log to size put the Magnet on the bar of the chainsaw a
Make your mark on the log. Add a couplet and a nother piece to get a bigger size cut.
I like it, thanks

I didn't even think about it being misunderstood that way. That is amusing 😀
Well, the knots in my head are the issue - I’m sure most people got it without a hitch. :)
Can you a full tutorial on how to make a horizontal Murphy twin bed without expensive hardware with a full cut list and supplies list please
Maybe in the future. I have several other projects on my calendar right now.
I have more pickle jars!

you should try some eyeliner. will make you look really serious. :P
