Awesome tip. FYI. Kobalt makes plug cutters with centering points that are spring loaded. Because there spring loaded they retract into the bit as the hole is cut so they only make a tiny mark on the plug that comes off easly with 220grit and this allows you to use them in a hand held drill. They are made by Kobalt so they are not the greatest quality steel (not garbage either) but I have burnt one of them and had to resharpen it so watch your speed. 👍
have you ever tried running the drill with the plug cutter backwards first to start the plug hole cutter (just to set a groove) before actually cutting the plug? the cutter might not jump around so much if it has a groove. i've done this with drywall so it might work with wood too.
It’s a good suggestion What I do now is use a fixed drill and secure the wood I’ll give it a try Thanks

Hello my friend. I also use pallet boards. In my last video, I made a folding laptop stand from pallet boards. It is very important to cover holes in pallet boards or such holes in waste material. These ideas are nice and work. Likewise, I use ready-made wood repair putties or techniques I have developed. Many people already know these techniques. Thanks for this useful information. I like to recycle. See you. Big greetings. Stay healthy and happy.
@@TheWoodenRider yes mate. One of the best ways to cover such holes in waste material is your method. You can also see my techniques when you watch my videos. See you. Big greetings. Stay healthy and happy.
If you want to use a hand drill and plug cutter, drill a hole the same size as the outside diameter of the plug cutter in some scrap wood. Then clamp the scrap wood onto the board you want to make plugs from. The hole gives you the stability to drill endless, perfect plugs.
Great tip mate! 👍🏾 Some holes aren't that bad and putty will do just as good a job. However those nasty big unsightly mother's, this method will fix nicely. 👌🏾 Tortilla? 😳 😆😆😆😆
@@TheWoodenRider Bondo, we call bog here in Australia, is great for huge holes or cracks where strength is needed, but if you're like most and hate sanding, then I'd steer clear of Bondo...😉 Small holes, cracks and gaps cover well with the good old sawdust and glue mix too. 👍🏾

Excellent tip Mike, this is going to the top

Hello, did you use a similar trick?

As well my friend

Hey Tony
That is an excellent idea, thank you very much for sharing
simple & clever one. lifting this idea as well (after your other one on the pallet sled, which I successfully used in my last project). thanks 👍
That’s awesome
Glad it’s helpful
Great idea 🤙
Glad you liked it
Nice. Thank you.
Pleasure my friend
Could you just use a dowel and cut it to size after inserting it? (no drill press here)
Yes absolutely
Provided you have a dowel about same size as the hole or bigger
Cool tips thank you.
@ 2:20 "then sand flat with a tortilla."
Is that what it sounded like?
@@TheWoodenRider no I mean it looks a bit like one. Just me being moronic :)
ROFL
Cracked me up....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great tip mate! 👍🏾

Tortilla? 😳
😆😆😆😆
Hey Bill
I’ve never tried wood putty, I should
Also heard bondo is an option
You know me, the only thing I’ll buy is tools and sandpaper 😎

Yes I was thinking about that too
I find those plugs if used with the right wood add character
This looks worse than before 😂
Glad it made your day
I like a nice clean hole... 🤔😂
Unlike a dirty mind?
Thanks for the laugh
