Note about something in this video he mentioned throwing away box cutter blades please put all of your sharp metal discardable blades into cut resistant containers like empty thick detergent bottles and lable it or recycle it and the metals bin at a recycling center to prevent accidental injuries to waste management workers.
-
As for the playing cards. The best part is now you can use all those decks of cards that are missing one or two. My favorites of this video is the playing cards and wax paper. I also use those black spring paper clips.
-
John, one more for the chalk, use it on your files in your metal shop, help keep the filings from sticking and much easier clean up of the files.
-
Instead of jamming a bunch of straws in your vacuum, it's easier to just wrap a piece of screening around the end. I used a worn out drywall sanding screen and an extra vacuum tip. Works well for ANY solid tip for your vacuum, and it's a great way to reuse something that would usually just get thrown away.
-
I like shop infrastructure videos, hacks and tools to make woodworking easier, and actual woodworking projects. This video was one of those videos that can actually help.
-
I’ve always been a fan of the box cutter blade in the hand. You get more dexterity and precision with all kinds of work.
-
My kids really want you to do a 3 levels video for kids work bench
-
Bicycle tubes make good Bandy Clamps, and bike shops have plenty and are happy to get rid of a dead tube or 2
-
Great list, I'm buying some tongue depressors right now to use as shims. To add to your list, I always keep scrap cardboard lying around to use as a temporary surface to prevent damage or drips on my workbenches. I also use it like you did for preventing clamps from causing damage.
-
I like videos like this, Tips and tricks that a lot of people don't know. Its the experience that teches us. You could use a syringe for pulling some finish out of the can instead of a straw or even transport if you get ones with caps. Yes more expensive than straws but i think a better alternative.
-
In the uk we using plastic glazing packers instead of the deck of cards to use as spacers good alternative as they come in different sizes in a multi colour pack 👍🏻 😁
-
That counting cards trick for spacing was new to me, and worth the rest of the tips ive seen recycled in other videos.
-
Hey John! love your videos. Several useful items.... Hang onto plastic soup containers from your local Chinese restaurant -- great for small quantities of finish or for cleaning brushes. Don't use them for anything containing petroleum distillates - they will melt/dissolve. Next - old prescription bottles - I use these for keeping sawdust to fill in mistakes or gaps. Drop some into a bottle and label for later use.
-
Suddenly all of the two to three inch long straws that I used to find in my dad's floorboard and glove compartment make sense. I even understand the white caulking residue in the tips. Thanks again John!
-
You can also use masking tape on the clamp base to avoid glue drips with glue-ups. Also, I use a lot of string with "trucker knots" for clamps. Also, get a no-set saw to cut those dowels absolutely flush with very little sanding afterwards.
-
That's such a good idea with the razor blade in the vise for cutting rags. I have a 5 gallon bucket filled with old shirts that I need to make into rags. I'm def gonna be clamping a blade in my little vise to rip through those.
-
my grandpie lovess your videos, hes been woodworking as a hobby and says hes always got something to learn watching yours vids :) ❤
-
These are good for any shop, not just a wood shop. I have all of these around my for activities too!! I am a sculpter here in PGH, all these apply!
-
Nice suggestions thanks for sharing. Have used most of these in some fashion accept for the straws. I'll use various size metal paperwork type spring clamps to quickly clamp thinner items in place, such as the card stack shims. They as well as clothes pins come in handy for such things.
-
I agree with other comments, do so woodworking, or show us some more of your sawmill, or do something. Even the videos that you recreate somebody elses project.
