      @@susannebrunberg4174 Carpentry is one of the most satisfying jobs, and in my case, hobbies I know, and yes we all have to learn. But you will NOT learn if the people in these vids are teaching you poorly. One was even demonstrated to be poor on the second "correct" attempt. (nailing close to end grain)
      1. A pilot hole should be close to the internal diameter of the screw thread if you are screwing into wood. There is very little control of the screw in the video. Depending on the purpose of the piece it is sometimes better to drill a complete clearance hole for the screw. Soap is ok for lubrication but a SMALL dip of the top portion of the screw thread into clean axle grease is less wasteful.
      2. The hidden screw "hinge flap" technique is brilliant and not really a secret; but remember, it may not always be an appropriate technique, you may, at sometime, want to know where the screw is for dismantling an item should the need arise, for whatever reason. Using a larger drill bit to create clearance for a screw head can, sometimes, "grab" the grain and go deeper than intended. Countersink bits are inexpensive and a good tool to own. A good one will do metal as well as wood for a good
      3.The end-grain split STILL occured because, as some comments have pointed out, the pilot hole was on the small size and he should have "blunted" the nail before driving it home.
      I have no idea if you plan a career in woodwork or, like me, enjoy it just as a satisfying practical hobby but I wish you all the best and enjoyment of the lovely emotions you will experience when you stand back and admire a job you have done well.

    1. Finish your screws by hand and never let the drill jump on the head.
    2. Always insinuate a piece of scrap wood between the clamp and the wood so that you don't dent the wood.
    3. Wipe away the excess glue before clamping it together or you may end up with the two pieces glued together.

    rather than using a bit to predrill the nail hole. use the nail itself in the drill chuck. i found it works especially well on harder woods with wide grains that are prone to splitting like oak. saves time finding a drill bit and ensures the hole is the exact dimensions of the nail.

    The best trick is the hidden screw. That said, I know of few carpenters that ever need to use that one, including myself. I'm not just a carpenter, but also a cabinet and furniture designer and builder. Certain tricks I know help to not even need these tricks at all. If you had left the two boards clamped together more than ten minutes (like an hour or so), you'd have a hard time separating them. Wood glue is a particularly strong bonding agent for wood, being stronger than the wood itself. I have used it to repair split wood by just gluing it back together, and clamping it until it has cured. After the repair has cured I use sandpaper to make it appear as though it was never split at all.
    Now to call you out on one thing you did in this video that you should never do; sanding across the grain. If you leave it like that you defeat the purpose of your hidden screw. Always sand with the grain.

    • @arthurrsaker8893
      @arthurrsaker8893 3 года назад +1

      Cut the end of the nail clean off. This will leave a crude chisel edge on the end which will sever the wood fibres as it is hammered in. An untrimmed nail with its point intact acts as a wedge which is why it will split the board if too close to the end. Sometimes it is possible to nail down a board and then cut it to length when nailing is complete.U seful when working close to the end of a board. If you have to nail near the cut end of the board, your best chance of a good fix, is to drill a pilot hole and lube the nail. Soap, candle wax, vaseline, a smear of grease, neutral shoe polish, or nick a dip of your wife's moisturiser cream any of those will work. And a bonus is that it is kinder to your drill driver and its battery,if instead of nailing, you decide to use a woodscrew to make the fix.

      I don't see any problems with a force trying to pull out the screw. There would be only problems with some influence, which tries to turn out the screw, but just pulling on the screw will not have this effect. However, liquid soap is much more conveniant to lubricate a screw than the soap shown here.

    You can also use candle wax. Paraffin is a great liquid lubricant when sheared. If I am doing a large number of screws I melt some wax and dip the screws right into the wax. After it cools you can screw it right into the wood or predrilled holes. There is almost no resistance and no striped screws.

    The pre-drill to help eliminate splitting works, for sure. What also almost always works is to glance at the tip of your nail. There are two sharp edges and two wedge shaped edges. Turn the nail so that the sharp edges are across the grain and they will cut through not wedge it apart.

    Soap and wax bars are great but, no replacement for pre-drilling. Save the time and hassle. Dulling the tip of a nail also prevents the wedging apart (cracking) of wood when nailing. Doing both is bullet proof.

      Hiding the screw under a layer of the board is NOT a brilliant idea. Five times out of ten you'll chip or flake off the layer of wood you're trying to lift, especially if the wood is dry, and especially if the grain doesn't lay just right.
      Don't believe me - try it yourself ...
      Use dowel - it's quicker, and far stronger (me, a carpenter of 40 yrs).

    Бесплатный совет: сначало сверлим под шляпку свелом по дереву, потом под диаметр самореза. Тогда у тебя не будет от большого свела по металлу треугольника, который ты потом стамеской доделываешь.

    Back in the late 60,s and early 70,s as an apprentice carpenter we all carried a small tin which contained tallow, animal grease, especially on hard woods with a correct sized pilot hole. No battery drills then only Yankee spiral pump drivers. Easy now.

    You know what else helps; holding the drill straight and using the right size bit!!!!

    Carpenters would be out of business if we all knew they made our houses out of soap.

      This is literally the only person that uses soap instead of a pilot hole.

    In the first tip the reason the drill bit is turning on the screw head is because the wrong bit is being used for the screw. The screw looks to be a PZ2 and the bit appears to be a PH2. If you use a PZ2 bit then it wont spin. No need for wax. Simple.

    I just stick to using Robertson screws up here in Canada! Never have that problem in the first place. Philips heads screws are garbage by design.

    I rarely buy apex headed screws these days, but if I need to this will be a stress saver.
