thanks for making this video-- it actually addresses my question about a crack in the edge of my wood slabl I had to sort through a mass of videos looking to sell me something I didn't need before I found your video.
I don't use sawdust in that kind of application. I use a hypodermic syringe with a big fat needle for getting the glue into the full depth of the crack and clamp it closed. Sometimes in restoration work, a molding gets damaged, and needs to be saved. If you clean the syringe promptly, you can get maybe 20 uses from it.
At 1:40, when I saw your left hand holding the work you were chiseling, with the blade pointed right at that unprotected arm, I said "Oh man, he'll soon be visiting the ER!" I'm a physician who's seen too many preventable shop injuries.
thanks for your great video, got a question, wouldn't the fix be much stronger if you warmed up the wood some how, in order to soften up the fibers and make the glue soak in better??? thanks much
Thank you and yes absolutely, if you warm up the board by placing it in the sunlight for about 20 minutes the fibers will warm and the wood pores will open slightly and you will get more product packed into the cracks but for me being a entrepreneur woodworker, time is your enemy. If it’s for fun on the weekend then no sweat that’s fantastic and I would do that. But if you’re making and selling the boards then warming it up would be efficient for making money. I need quick fixes and stabilizing methods. Time = money
Worthwhile video. Learned something and wasn't too long. Thanks. I'd like to know more about the chisel you were using. A plane iron attached to a chunk of wood? Subscribed.
Thank you for the suggestions. I have an outdoor deck/step with peeling paint and cracks in the wood because the sprinkler was hitting it daily. I want to fill in the cracks, sand, and repaint. The wood is cedar. Should I use wood putty or your glue?
hey :) Is it fine to use plastic wood fillers for cutting boards? i just wanna make sure before i make one for myself. I know i use plastic boards now, but just wondering :)
I learned this when I was 12, in my older years Ive learned to cut it off or use another piece as the man hours to do this costs more than just grabbing another piece of wood!
I don’t know much about wood work, but wouldn’t it be a good idea to drill a hole at the end of the crack to prevent it from growing. That’s a method that’s used for other materials like plastic and metal.
Just some question . . . You used what you call a "heat gun". What is the reference for this tool.? It looks more like an industrial glue gun. Where do you get the knot filler rods?
This very helpful. The crack I want to repair if from a tree trunk slab table top. It’s 3.5 inches thick and the crack is almost all the way through - I’m hopeful wood glue and a clamp will prevent the crack from causing the piece from breaking off. Thank you very much for this video - Im off to try the repair💫
Just found your great channel..and was ready to subscribe....buuuut it looks like ur channel is mainly shorts...I find myself having to hit replay, replay, replay replay...well, ya get the idea..its very annoying, lol😱..my preference is just the opposite..guess I just prefer a more relaxed format, "for absorption sake"💯👍..but you are very talented n creative, for sure ✅
I have over 60 long form videos here on my channel. I sprinkle in the shorts because you have to reach both people… short form and long form but by far my channel is mostly long form content. Just scroll past the shorts 🤷♂️ I hope you enjoy my channel, I put a ton of work into it.
Always watch'em to the end. Always.
You ROCK Brent. Thank you for that BIG time 👊👊

You’re the best! Thank you for saying that! You made my day 🙌
Is that filler stainable? And where do you get it at?
Definitely a big fan of your work Donnie and would definitely love to hear/learn more about your story/journey in woodworking.
You are funny and a good teacher, thanks !

for $500 bucks they can keep it donnie probably got it for free...
Excellent demo. Thank you.
Nice video bud. Good tips, I look forward to seeing more.
When you say knot filler, is that not just a glue stick?
will this technique work for filling cracks and knots on 4x4 posts for a deck? trying to get rid of builder grade wood imperfections.
Thanks for the great tips! This is my first video on your channel, and I just subscribed. Good luck!
Where to buy this glue gun and the colored matching glue sticks to different types of wood
Thank you very helpful
The sawdust and PVA wood glue always work perfectly for me.

Thanks so much! I'm going to use one of these methods to repair a crack in a window frame :)

How would you fix knots on window trim?
الله ينور عليك ❤❤
nice video. I am wanting to touch up aging cracks in a boat's wooden daggerboard. I don't have sawdust. Can I use the filler without the dust?
What if you don’t have any saw dust (in your last demo)?
Thank you for the suggestions. I have an outdoor deck/step with peeling paint and cracks in the wood because the sprinkler was hitting it daily. I want to fill in the cracks, sand, and repaint. The wood is cedar. Should I use wood putty or your glue?
You didn't do the third piece of wood that you showed at the beginning. is there a video where you show how to fix a bigger split?
hey :)
Is it fine to use plastic wood fillers for cutting boards? i just wanna make sure before i make one for myself.
I know i use plastic boards now, but just wondering :)
U using a 60 grit on your sander?
I learned this when I was 12, in my older years Ive learned to cut it off or use another piece as the man hours to do this costs more than just grabbing another piece of wood!
Where, pray tell, do you get sawdust if you don’t have any from the wood you’re fixing? Alternatives?
I don’t know much about wood work, but wouldn’t it be a good idea to drill a hole at the end of the crack to prevent it from growing. That’s a method that’s used for other materials like plastic and metal.
Just some question . . . You used what you call a "heat gun". What is the reference for this tool.? It looks more like an industrial glue gun. Where do you get the knot filler rods?
Doesn’t the sandpaper get filled up with the uncured wood glue &sawdust?
Thanks.
