Screw Head Snapped Off, Now What?
It’s frustrating when a screw head snaps right off in the middle of a project. Using a plug cutter and pliers can help extract the screw and get back to where you left off.

Live Edge Desk Build From HIGHLY FIGURED Maple Slab #liveedge #woodworking #liveedgeslab
มุมมอง 315ปีที่แล้ว
This particular project was a custom maple live edge slab desk that my customer needed to have some specific features included. I had a great time working with this very figured maple slab, and hope you enjoy watching the process from start to finish. Thanks for watching! - Phil Ross Custom Wood Furniture
How To Sand Live Edge - Best Tool For The Job Based On My Trial and Error
มุมมอง 14Kปีที่แล้ว
Over the years I’ve tried many ways to sand the live edge of wood slabs. This tool has been the one I’ve found that gets the majority of the work done in the least amount of time, while still leaving the character of the wood. Thanks for watching!

Impact driver is the key, thank you for that. I was using my drill with the same nylox you have with poor results, especially with some of the slabs I use. I tend to shy away from just a "straight" live edge and like odd bark intrusions for the character. Switching to the impact made a world of difference. Thank you, subscribed.
Thank you, what a life saver. I'm getting one today. Waisted enough time and sand paper! Lol
I have the same problem, just brilliant suggestions, thanks for sharing.
What's the difference between these with 6 brushes, vs the continuous circular brush? Anyone know?
Try a wire brush ;)
Ah, good idea! 👍
Am I wrong or did he set the cheap meter to hardwood... for cedar ?
Brilliant, thanks for this golden info. I was using home made sanding mops for various small projects but now will order a set of these to have. The mops disintegate very quickly
You are a life saver. Will soon work on a live edge for the first time and was going through all of the things you showed in my mind. Had no idea what will work best. Well now I know. Thank you a lot!
Glad it helped!
Nyalox is what he is talking about, nyloks or other spelling. They are sold at Amazon in all sorts of styles and grits.
Idk who needs to k ow but a bit of looking and they make really wide versions of this for conditioning tools
Yes! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much. Can't see in the vid, but it's Nyalox for anyone else unsure.
Awesome, glad it helped! And yes you are right, Nyalox brand is what I am using in the video.
But how do you know which one shows the correct value? The one which is more expensive because it’s more expensive? This test is completely irrelevant as you have no reference at all
Fair enough question. The reference is the wood and the environment it has been in recently. In the video, I show thick slabs of cedar that have been in storage under a covered area, yet exposed to very humid conditions of Oregon fall / winter weather. Wood cannot be 2-3% moisture content in these conditions, it acclimates with the current environment until it finds an equilibrium point. Even after putting these slabs of wood in a kiln for weeks to dry them out, they would still only achieve 6-12% moisture content. So that was the big red flag that caused me to find out what was going on with the first moisture meter. Trust me, I was not planning to shell out $400 for this more expensive tool just for the fun of it, but until I had a more precise measurement of the condition of the lumber I was using, I would be just blindly hoping they were dry enough, and that was not something I wanted to risk.
Thank you!!! 👍👍👍
You bet!
Fantastic
Thank you
Great tool for the job. Wear safety glasses!!
Good call 👍
Where can I find a few of those nylock discs?
I’ve found them on Amazon, but I’ve also seen them at my local Ace Hardware
This was HUGELY helpful. Thank you! This method preserved the patina for a very natural finish of the live edge. One note: if you decide to sand-blast w/ glass bead to accentuate the patina coloring, this should be your last step before finishing steps. These nylox brushes will remove the patina if you use them AFTER sand-blasting.
Good to know, thanks!
Bought a plug cutter, going to try it soon.
So satisfying
I'll try this. I have some pallet wood and I know some it has broken nails in it.
well done
Thanks for adding some real value (and not taking 30 minutes to convey the info). Normally I use chisels for the bark, then the Rotex 90 which works really, really well for the smooth flat portions, but not nearly as well for the small intricate features like what you showed. I think the combo of those two approaches would be excellent.
I forgot that I used to use a foam contour pad for my Rotex sander for the edges as well, but yeah I agree using both can get any job finished well.
Helpful video! How have these held up for you? The amazon reviews are mixed.
They’ve actually held up pretty well, I haven’t had to replace these yet. But even if I did, it’s not expensive.
Awesome thanks
You bet!
Thank you so much for this. I'm going to order one now. Totally saved me!
That’s great, glad it helped!
You may have got a lemon general tools pin meter..??. I have a both. A Wagner mmc 205 and general Tools $20-50 special/ both read about the same.
That is possible, but as a woodworker using different species of lumber, so I appreciate how the Wagner can take moisture reading specific to a particular wood species. But if you did not need to be precise, a General tools moister meter is better than nothing.
I've watched about 15 different videos on how to clean up a live edge. This video, by far, was the most helpful. Thank you and I am now subscribed.
So glad it helped!
Wholesome ending.
How do u spell nylocks
Nyalox
Awesome video! Really appreciate the time you put into this to share!! Exactly what I needed.
So glad it helped!
Got a pile of burl live edges to clean up and nothing was cutting it. Thanks for the tips!
Glad to help!
I learned the same lesson. I discovered crazy readings several % below emc given my RH/temp and knew it was impossible. Picked up an Orion 930- including the NIST traceable calibration target option shortly afterwards.
A hard lesson to learn 👍
This was *just* what I was looking for and totally appreciate you saving me tons of time and trial and error. Thanks!
So glad it helped!
Who makes cedar furniture?
0:35 Plug cutter, brilliant! This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
Glad it could help!
I'm glad I watched this. I have a cheapish meter with pins. I might just bite the bullet and get the good one because I want to build high end stuff.
It’s definitely worth it if you are sourcing your own lumber and slabs.
What can't I just hammer two nails into a board of wood to use as electrodes, then attach a simple ten dollar voltmeter, take readings of resistance, voltage, whatever, and then extrapolate from that, what sort of moisture level is present?
There’s many ways to skin a cat, and no one says you can’t do it your own way 👍
That pretty much all it is. BUT you need a standard by which to calibrate it, which is different for every species or material. And the depth of the pins must remain the exact same, as well a temperature. Good only for an experiment, not for reality.
Thanks for the tips!
Sure, glad it helped!
The Masterpiece…
The junk one is a "pinless" model. I assume that the pinned meters are more accurate for less cost. IE I can use a cheaper version like "general tools" and get much more accurate results. Still not nearly as good as the $500 dollar version, but not useless like the one in this video. In order to make a meter that doesn't 'damage' the wood it costs more money. Fair?
I respect your mindset, if you've got the ability to make a custom metal base why not do it! Really nice results on the finished piece, that curl looks amazing! You said that's pretty common for maple in Oregon, is that just in slabs or general maple lumber too?
It’s more common in Bigleaf Maple, which is abundant here in Oregon. Thanks for watching!
What song is that!!????
Zach Bryan - Highway Boys
@@RossCustomWoodFurniture Thank you. Gonna listen now!!
cats paw works faster and doesnt damage the wood as much if you use it smart
True, but hard to grip nail with cats paw if it doesn’t have a head.
Brakes are for woosies!
I know right?? The one time I thought it was level ground
Thanks have any toaster advice those things are so difficult 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Eat oatmeal instead 😋
@@RossCustomWoodFurniture nice comeback I like it🤪
That trick Stihl saw has a chain so blunt it wood struggle to work on a pushbike
You know you’re probably right, but I do take pride in my grammar.
Is that a taco 🌮
No, it a sanding eraser. But now I see how it does look like a taco, haha, would be a lot cooler if it was.
Awesome video!!!!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Wow.. this is so beautiful!👍 I want to make a big table like this. Thank you for sharing a nice video.😄
Thank you, glad that you enjoyed it!
ugh, my screw broke like 1/2 inch in
Vise grips are now your friend.
@@RossCustomWoodFurniture the hole is too small for normal vice grips, and the needle nose isn't stable enough to twist. Ended up just buying plug cutters and shoved my drill in there to bite it.
