VIDEO CORRECTION: When you use the speed square to find an angle, I used the wrong side to make my mark. The proper way is to measure the angle on 45) degree edge and mark on the other 90 degree edge. I was doing this upside down for the camera, got myself discombobulated and marked the line on the wrong edge in the video.
I am a retired woodworker. I have a woodshop still with every tool you could think of. I have made many things to many to count. I am old and worn out, almost? With this said I must admit you taught me two things I wish I had known years ago. The tape and CA glue and using the tools you can afford. Your video was well made, Thanks!
Saw guide is still as good now as when I started in construction/woodworking.. I made an 8ft one for rip cuts .. and a 4 ft one for cross cuts .. pocket holes are a great way to attach face frame on cabinets or exterior window trim.. I don’t care what anyone thinks.. great video .. keep them coming..
That's a new one for me...pocket hole for exterior window trim. I am probably being dense, but i can't picture that. Anyone recommend a quick vid showing me what he means?
Jess how'd I ever get this far without these tips?? I know you must be getting tired of me saying but"I always learn from your videos". Thank you for your time as I know editing does that!
Oh and 1 more thing. In a previous video you were talking about a yellow blast gate etc. I have a 1 HP Delta dust collector that looks a lot like the oneyou have in the your shop I saw in your video. I am thinking about erecting a dust collection system with PVC pipe like yours. The run won't be more that 15 feet for 4 tools Table Saw, Jointer, Roter Table, Chop saw, and Planer. My question is does the Delta do the job for the tool at the far end if it's a planer?
@@richragan4810 Hey Rich, thanks man I always appreciate that! I just took my dust collection down because I just didnt think it was sufficient for that type of run. Shorter runs would be fine though!
I just found your site (and I am so excited). I am "diying," converting a van to an adventure van). I have minimal knowledge/experience. Your tips are perfect for me just starting out THX! I plan on binge watching all your videos before starting my conversion and having them there for reference!
To keep slivers from falling through my miter saw plate, I simply cover the slot in the plate with blue tape and cut through it. It lasts a long time before needing replacement.
I built a cabinet for my table saw and used pocket holes for joinery. I had never used them before but watched enough video so when it was time to go to work there were no mysteries. As was said, do your research....my cabinet is solid as a rock. Great job.
Honest and to the point. Also having done this for a while (hobbyist) I know they are all true. Did I learn something? Sure did. Would recommend to other? Sure would. Did the YT "Like and Subscribe" thing, sure did. Had an argument with ANYTHING you said: no... you were spot on. Rec: don't do sponsored ads (which you don't) and have a Patreon link. Is there a takeaway here - yeah - you know what you're talking about; the video is good; thank you for sharing your time. I hope to learn from you going forward.
I only have a couple of expensive tools but I do buy expensive saw blades and drill bits etc for my cheap power tools. I think this does make a huge difference
@@PenaltyBoxWoodshop haha even as someone who is good at math this is still very useful because it saves time instead of having to simplify fractions in my head to divide a board into even sections
Some great tips there. The trick with the painters tape I actually use while making guitars (although I use double sided tape a lot of the time too). Great for holding down fretboards when shaping, holding on templates for routing and holding on sandpaper to flat fret leveling beams. The only downside to this is the tape sometimes sucks in moisture and creases over time. So in that case, double sided tape is the better option if you want it on there for a longer period of time. As for pocket hole jigs, I was one of those people that though they were only used by people with no woodworking skill. Although now I've realised they're actually great when attaching MDF together as the screws go in at an angle and not straight in. It helps to not split the material as you would if just going into the ends, especially on cuts that aren't very wide. When buying tools, I think you should invest heavily into the tools you'll use the most. The ones you use every now and again can generally be a lot cheaper. But also look for tools you can upgrade (like a cheap bench grinder with better wheels etc). One of the best investments I've made was a cheap 4" angle grinder that came with 40 discs. Still going through the discs 20 years later and used the grinder to cut replacement panels off cars. It took a pounding and still going LOL. Haven't had to even change the replacement brushes yet!
Stumbled across one of your videos and enjoyed it enough to watch several. I appreciate your style and straight forward way you present the information. I enjoy doing the occasional wood project, but doubt I'll live long enough to get good at it. Your tips will help me improve little by little.
These tips are probably the best wood working tips I have ever watched because they are so useful and easy to do. Im new to woodworking and I'm horrible at math so im always intimidated by some measurements but the measuring tips are awesome and I never knew you could do that. Thanks for the info!
First time to see your videos, you tell the truth as I see it, so I will be back I got 60 plus years in the woodworking trade and learn something every single day. Still love to make sawdust, don't care if it is cutting hip roofs or building corner cabinets, it is all fun.
Really enjoyed the video. Have ordered some of the Bottles. I have used them for years for BBQ, but never thought about glue. Looking forward to trying this, I know glue bottles are a pain. Watched several of your videos and enjoyed each.
You can find the center of a board with a speed square by marking a line about the center then turn it over to the other side and mark a line again. Perfect center.
Great video, but one thing I see missed a lot when people say you done need expensive tools (which is 100% correct) is that you are better spending money on the right consumables for those tools. You could have dewalt, festool, whatever but if you put cheap blades/bits etc in them they will still under preform, on the other end take a ryobi and put a good blade/bit in there and it greatly improves the results over the supplied consumables.
Number one rule in woodworking whether amatuer or pro, enjoy it. In all probabilty woodworking is or is going to be your hobby, take the pressure off, you're not building a space shuttle. I can see it plain as day, Penalty enjoys woodworking and the advice he gives is solid. The major myth in woodworking is perfection. Whether amatuer or pro, absolute perfection is myth (unless you're a robot), allow yourself tolerance for that minor mistake. True a CNC will get one close to perfect but to me CNC is manufacturing not woodworking.
Michael, I truly appreciate such a kind and well thought out comment. I could not agree more! Woodworking as a hobby is your perfection, not anyone else’s. Enjoy it and enjoy the process!
The ruler trick for dividing a board into equal parts is good, but there is one problem: you are not considering the thickness of your saw blade. When you make the first cut, it throws off the sizes of the other pieces. You then get pieces that are not of equal widths.
great tips. I go for the yellow squeeze bottle for visibility. but the transparent has the advantage in showing how much is left or for dif. products. thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I liked most of what you said. I hit thumbs up early. After you advocated creating more plastic waste for convenience, I changed it. I'll watch a few other videos to decide on subscription. Take care.
Nick Engler has a neat warning about pocket holes. NOT "don't use them" but how to help reduce fracturing the receiving material by using a second drill bit.
Great video. Only thing I gotta disagree with is the glue bottle. Those tite bond and rectangle opening tips are the best. You can throw down a thin line with relatively large coverage with minimal squeeze out with out having to brush or smear it. If your doing wide work you run it narrow side and you can glob the glue on again with out having to brush or roll and with enough controll for no squeeze out
I got an old Sears table saw used for about 50 bucks. Took a little tweaking and I did have to add on a wooden wing that was missing but after that It works just fine!. You don't need those 2000 dollar table saws in my opinion. Save some money for the CNC! :)
Thanks for the support! I don’t have a link I’m sorry. I don’t think they sell it on Amazon. It’s starving glue and I think it will come up if you google it.
Agreed, that's gotta be a factory edge (or known straight). The overhand on the other side is a great idea, I wish I'd done that. I also put a reference edge at 90 degrees on one end for making that long cut at a 90 more easy.
Hilarious... I have three speed squares like those that I use often. I had no idea what those numbers were along the 45° until now.... they’re degrees! Lol Probably would never have figured that out on my own. Thanks for sharing!
Biscuits are a form of loose tenon and certainly adds strength. This strength is not needed in panel glue up, but it is needed in joints where grains of the two joined members are perpendicular.
The glue joint is stronger than the wood itself. The biscuits add alignment only---not strength. Several You tubers have proved this true. Ref John Heisz and Matthias Wandel on the subject among others.
AWESOME MEASURING FOR THE CENTER TIPS!!!!!!!! YOU ARE THE GREATEST!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! I was going insane just the other day, trying to find the precise middle of a flipping 2x4! How stupid is that!?!
With regard to pallet projects. Please keep in mind most pallets have long histories with a lot of different stops along the way. I worked for a pool supply company with lots of pallets. Most had toxic chemicals spilled on them that soaked in. Then who know where their next stop is. Keep that in mind when your children sit on your pallet furniture.
Thanks so much! Good, sound tips. A tip for you, seeing as you're interested in improving your glue bottle experience. Check out the Glu-Bot, by FastCap. You can find them on Amazon for under $10. Best glue dispenser ever... pulls from the bottom and has a well designed tip. Check it out. You'll be glad you did.
Thanks man! Yea, I’ve used the glue bots before. They are pretty good but you can get like 6 of these bottles for the same price and I have had problems with the glue bots drying down the spout to the bottom
One extra tip - NEVER, EVER tape a broken mains cable back together like he did. Replace the cable! There's no point following all the woodworking safety rules if you're simply going to electrocute yourself instead.
0:50 A defect cord should immediately replaced not taped together. Otherwise you risk an electric shock or setting your workshop on fire. A loose connection may also lead to other surprises like the machine stops in the middle of the cut and suddenly comes back to life and jumps backwards (kickback).
I think your formula to calculate board feet is wrong. You are supposed to divide the length, width and thickness by 12 , not by 144 as stated on your video. But good tips.
your formula for board feet it works only if you convert the feet to inches: 8ftx6inx1in/ 144 like this: 8x12=96 so than you do this: 96x6x1/144=4. The way you have the formula, after you calculate the boar feet you'll get 0.333 board feet instead of 4 board feet.
When you fully understand how - a chicken and a half, lays an egg and a half, in a day and a half, then you will realize why base 12 is the more natural system.

CA accelerator should be on the opposite surface. If you don't blob on the CA glue, the accelerator will harden thin applications quickly.

Trick with finding the centre of any board is to use metric. Very simple maths i.e. divide by two plus you have no silly fractions to worry about.
U can normally just pop the cap of the condiment bottles and put them on ur glue bottle. So just swap the caps out 😉
Cool idea!
What are some other tips or myths that I didnt talk about?
That things made from pallets are cheap crap that causes cancer. Paul Jackman and Epic Upcycling YT channels would change a few minds on that score.
Agreed! If you have never made something from a pallet where did you even really start? 🤓
With regard to pallet projects. Please keep in mind most pallets have long histories with a lot of different stops along the way. I worked for a pool supply company with lots of pallets. Most had toxic chemicals spilled on them that soaked in. Then who know where their next stop is. Keep that in mind when your children sit on your pallet furniture.
just a thought .... illuminate the beer

Hi, My workshop is damp so I buy tools etc that are aluminium - no rust
10:12 Tip 8: A board is 8 FEET long, but it can be an 8 FOOT board.
I use mustered, and Hershey’s syrup bottles.
Not a bad idea!
First of your videos I've watched. You showed this ol nail bender 3 out of 4. Didn't care for the Coors advertising though.
Math I’m a good estimator, adding and multiplication I use my iPhone.
Haha always a good option
One extra tip - NEVER, EVER tape a broken mains cable back together like he did. Replace the cable! There's no point following all the woodworking safety rules if you're simply going to electrocute yourself instead.
my easy measuring/math tip: use metric!
Hahaha I know metric is great but I have only ever used customary units.
@@PenaltyBoxWoodshop i believe its called imperial, if you dont mind me saying.
That is correct. And it was formalized in the United States in 1832
7. jut buy gluebot. It's great
0:50 A defect cord should immediately replaced not taped together. Otherwise you risk an electric shock or setting your workshop on fire. A loose connection may also lead to other surprises like the machine stops in the middle of the cut and suddenly comes back to life and jumps backwards (kickback).
I think your formula to calculate board feet is wrong. You are supposed to divide the length, width and thickness by 12 , not by 144 as stated on your video. But good tips.
your formula for board feet it works only if you convert the feet to inches: 8ftx6inx1in/ 144 like this: 8x12=96 so than you do this: 96x6x1/144=4. The way you have the formula, after you calculate the boar feet you'll get 0.333 board feet instead of 4 board feet.
Thank you for pointing that out. I’ll need to go back and watch the video to confirm but I appreciate you letting me know.
Another tip: ditch the imperial system and join the rest of the world with metric 😁
You’re not the first to suggest that hahaha
When you fully understand how - a chicken and a half, lays an egg and a half, in a day and a half, then you will realize why base 12 is the more natural system.
Can I really trust a garage worker with cut electrical cords.
Some nice tips. But if you used metric you wouldn't have hard maths to do!
Use metric!!
Easier way to measure and divide if you're struggling..use bloody metric system.🤷
I don’t have a bloody metric tape measure. 🤪
Biscuits and Domino’s absolutely do add strength.
