    For the wood one: When you dent the wood, the mass you displace from the dent doesnt leave the block of wood, it just gets compressed. Since wood is porous and heat expands, the moisture fills all the pores and the heat causes them to rexpand, pushing the mass back into shape.

    the soap thing is more for metal when you are cutting it to make jewelry, you rub the jewelers saw along soap (or more commonly beeswax) then cut into the metal. Makes it much smoother and helps make cleaner cuts. Not ideal for wood, just metal.

    the rubber band one is more geared towards screws you have partially stripped and are afraid of stripping further. Also the screws on wood is not a great test. Screws dont come out of wood as easy as they do household electronics, which is also what the rubber band trick is geared towards

    I'm in training to be a cabinetmaker and I use the steam hack with any dents, though I do it differently. I put a wet paper towel on top of the wood and then run an iron (on low) over it until it's raised enough and then sand it smooth. I think it works because you're putting moisture into the wood, which makes it expand.
    Also with the soap hack, I've used that and it's really nice for soft metals like brass which are really easy to strip. I used paraffin wax though, which may have some slightly different results

    For the magnet trick, there's already "magnetizer" that exist. It's a bit safer than having a magnet spinning :-P. You slide your bits or screwdriver into them and they get magnetized, once you no longer want them magnetized, you do the same in the demagnetizer section.

    The earbud ad actually showed a pretty good use case. Though more for just a situation where you want wireless over wired. If you put a treadmill under your desk and want to have headphones on, wired headphones will zap you. Or rather you zap them? kinda ... Walking on a treadmill builds up static electricity in you. But you can't ground through the treadmill for various reasons. So with wired headphones, you'll get periodic zaps in your sensitive ears as they end up as the path of least resistance to your PC ... unless your PC somehow isn't grounded ... in which case I wish you luck.
    For those wondering, this didn't happen back when people used wired headphones for portable music players while walking because the music player isn't grounded. So the path of least resistance in both that case and in the case of using wireless headphones is usually through the air which happens equally across your whole body, or through your feet if you aren't wearing shoes with rubber soles.

    PSA: do not use the magnet hack or other magnetic screwdrivers and similar when you are working with circuit boards, laptop, other computer-y stuff. Data storage works by assigning polarity to a thing and magnets disturb that. This means that you can delete the data on a drive, be it solid state or 'conventional', by placing a magnet on it. Circuit boards can be very delicate also, and you can easily ruin the things by being clumsy with a magnet, also static electricity is not your friend when working with such things... which is really sucky, because having a magnet with those tiny screws would be so great ...
    This does not have to be a problem, but it can be and since tech can be stupid expensive, it would be really sad to ruin a thing because of that.

    • @stokhosursus
      @stokhosursus 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well, yes and no... A lot of drives are magnetically shielded up to a point; otherwise, you’d wipe your hard drive just by carrying your laptop in and out of some buildings with magnetic security gates. Since the screws are generally very tiny, it wouldn’t require a strong magnetic field to hold onto the screw. In fact, there are some computer repair kits that come with magnetized screwdrivers and such. Is it safer to avoid magnets completely around computers? Sure! However, if you know what you’re doing and are careful, you’ll be fine. 🙂
