    16:50 Old skool tip for accurately measuring interior dimensions: don't measure. Instead, take two sticks that are at least half the length you need to measure, then put one stick tight to each end of the inside dimension, then pinch them together where they overlap and BOOM, perfect inside measurement. You can then clamp them together, measure them, or just scribe that distance on the board you need to cut to that length. Perfect every time.

      In finding the center of wider material, like a sheet product, I'll "over measure" beyond approx. center of the plywood from both sides, measuring the distance between those two points (relatively short space) and that nearly always gives me a center point of the panel. Easy to witness quickly, like his board centering, and I'm off to the table saw lickity split to make cabinet carcass pieces/shelving.

    @tekkiboy 3 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Great vid! I will not be using method #2 to glue my cracks, thank you very much. The method for finding the center of a board also works for dividing a board into more equal pieces. If you want to divide a board into 3 equal pieces without fighting with crazy fractions just measure across the board like you did using a number that is easily divisible by three, say twelve, and then mark at four and eight and you have three equal pieces. I believe this method works no matter how many equal pieces you want.

    • @grizzlygrizzle
      @grizzlygrizzle ปีที่แล้ว

      When I use that method, I also make a small line along the edge of the ruler, and use the ruler-side of that line where it intersects the measurement mark. I also use a fairly-fine mechanical pencil for marking measurements that need to be precise.

    For glue squeeze out, I take a glass of water and a small artist paintbrush. Swish the paintbrush in the water and mop up the glue while still wet. Repeat swishing the brush in the water many times while cleaning the glue. Surprisingly, all the glue will wash off and there is no perceptible grain raising from the water. Stains great with no extra sanding and only takes seconds to do. Great video too! Totally enjoyable and informative.

  • @surfinturfer
    @surfinturfer 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Wow! Ten seconds in and I know your doppleganger -- Dave Teiff -- right down to the funny, quirky personality!
    Anyway, down to the important stuff. Wiping down the wood with mineral spirits also raises the grain for most woods, making sanding more efficient for the next higher grit. I used to use water, but it takes longer to dry. Also, before using the mineral spirits, a quick hand-sand with the woodgrain using the same grit you just finished with on the sander will help remove swirls that you won't see until you apply a stain or finish. "Remove as you go" works best because 220-grit paper won't do as good a job on 80- or 100-grit swirl marks later. I learned this while turning pens and the wood surface is f l a w l e s s even under 10X magnification review (yeah, for a pen maybe it's the Nth degree, but some of us are wired like that...)

    An anti-glue squeeze out hack I use is I apply shellac to the surface when I dry fit the joint. It dries in a few minutes. Then do your glue-up and clamping. Shellac prevents the glue from getting into the woods pores so cleans up easily with damp cloth. No issues with glue stains when you apply finish. Not my idea, got it from Cam at Blacktail.

      In my opinion, he just had a bad tape measure. Mine has a little tab i fold out at the end, so the total is exactly 10 cm. It also has a locking feature, so I just flip out the tab, run the tape measure from one end to the other, lock it, then pick it up and read it, and add 10cm 🙂
      Goes exactly as fast as any other measure, and is more presice than relying on a mark.

    Great entrance on this one particularly (hope you're okay). Anyway for me, best hand sanding block is a flat piece of 1.5" thick (or so) scrap hardwood cut to 4.5" width for adhesive-backed sandpaper. The sandpaper rolls are cheap (compared to round disks), blocks can be cut to any size and each fitted with different grit, and you can sand right up to corners.

    • @grizzlygrizzle
      @grizzlygrizzle ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For hand sanding, I use Norton 3X sheet sandpaper whenever I can. For routine flat work, I use one of those 3M rubber sanding blocks that takes 1/4 sheet ripped into long strips, but I don't like 3M's adhesive-backed sandpaper because it leaves little gobs of adhesive on the block, and those compromise the flatness of it. Besides, the Norton 3X paper cuts longer and doesn't clog as quickly. For detail sanding, I wrap 1/16 of a sheet around a piece of an old credit card (cut lengthwise).
      -- I spent a bunch of years restoring century-old wooden entryways for three-story apartment buildings in the Boston area and finishing them with an alkyd-based marine varnish (Sikkens Cetol Marine-- NOT the Cetol products for house siding or windows and doors). These entryways had beveled-glass sidelights and toplights, many of them arched on top. In some places the built-up mouldings had more than 25 different surfaces to be finished, and some had Corinthian 1/2 columns with carved leaves and acorns on the capitals. In some parts, it was more like re-carving than refinishing, because there was so much UV degradation that had to be scraped off. Hundreds of hours of hand work on each one. I tried a couple of different power detail-sanders, but they were useless.
      -- Some of 3M's stuff is OK, but their sheet sandpaper sucks. Gator brand is OK, and some other brand from Finland I ran into, but I still stock up on Norton 3X whenever I see it.
      -- Discovering the utility of old credit cards for detail sanding "blocks" was a lifesaver. I cut them into strips about 7/8" wide, avoiding any raised numbers, and wrap the 1/16 sheets around them lengthwise. They are great for sanding inside corners and other grooves. For round concave troughs, I use milk-jug plastic, cut to rectangles sized so that the 1/16 sheet can be wrapped around them crosswise. The softer plastic takes the curve well, while its edges have enough stiffness to give a clean line where the trough meets whatever bounds it.
      -- The Sikkens Cetol Marine varnish was another great discovery. It lasts a lot longer than spar varnish or polyurethane (including the allegedly UV-protected polyurethane). Oily tropical woods like mahogany or teak should be wiped down with acetone or lacquer thinner just prior to the first coat, to remove the oils from the surface (for the sake of adhesion and to avoid splotchy coloration from the oils reacting with the varnish), but the manufacturers won't tell you that, what with the EPA looking over their shoulders. The Sikkens Cetol Marine stays a bit pliable and doesn't crack or crystalize, and maintenance is easy-- just wash it with TSP and a Scotchbrite pad, rinse, let dry, and recoat after a couple of years in marine environments, but 5-6 years on land seems to be OK.
      -- And for restoring those nice old brass kickplates and door handles, clean it up nicely, leaving in the little dings that give it character, and coat it with automotive clear coat. SEM sells it in a spray can, and it's available at auto-body supply stores.
      -- Good detail scrapers are hard to find. Craftsman used to make a "Handy Scraper / Utility Scraper" that had 6 blades that could be rotated 180 degrees, and I was lucky enough to get two of them, but they are long-since gone from the hardware shelves. The closest thing to it is the Hyde Countour Scraper 10450, but most of their blades are sharpened only on the ends, not on all edges, and three of the countours are concave, for scraping spokes and round spindles, which can be scraped with a straight blade (it's all going to get sanded, right?). The old Craftsman scraper had 4 concave blades, with radii of 1/8", 1/4", 1/2", and something around 3", and a couple of pointy pentagons, one tall and narrow, with a wide base, and the other short and wider, with a very wide base. The Hyde and the Craftsman handles will accept one another's blades, which clip on with a quick-release lever, and the blades are held at about a 15-degree angle off perpendicular to the handle. They scrape on the pull stroke. I recently had a metal fabricator with a CNC setup make some of the Craftsman style blades, because my old ones have been sharpened so much that there isn't much left of them. A higher-end set of fixed-blade (perpendicular to handle) scrapers is available at stortz.com, and I may spring for a set of them, because they're apparently made of carbon steel, not stainless, and the permanently-attached handles would make them easier to sharpen (and less often). (stortz.com also carries Klenk offset aviation metal shears, which I had years ago, and worked better than any I have seen since. No having to lift one flap above your cutting hand, a radical difference from the usual ones.)
      -- Hint of the day-- When you own some special, hard-to-find tools that are much better designed than the common variety, don't lend them out, even if it's to your boss.
