never would have thought a video about plywood would touch me so deeply to the core. now i feel like ive taken it for granted. i love the stuff, and always have a couple extra 2'x4' sheets around my workshop for spontaneous projects.
How does this incredible masterpiece of a video only have a couple hundred thousand views after 10 years? I'm ranking this as one of the most under-rated and highly educational videos that I've seen on interwebs. I followed Casey years ago and have been making my way through Van's video collection. I now feel like I've found the next level - the grand master -and now see my previously watched videos with a clean pair of eyes, and a 2:1 ratio.
Because anyone who works with plywood knows all this basic stuff already and people who don’t could care less. This seems like a introductory segment for a documentary or tv episode. Kind of a let down at the end of the video
Found the beauty of plywood when I built my first work bench and then was it that I learned the types of woods. And Plywood is my lover now. Bench came out beautiful.
If anyone wants to avoid cam out then avoid Philips head screws. From what I've read they were designed to cam out to avoid over tightening. Use Robertson (square) or torx. I can hang my impact driver from the ceiling from a Robertson screw. That's not likely to happen with even the best fitting Philips.
Love the segment on 'cam-out'. For safety sake, I would lose the tie when anywhere near the table saw. Actually, I would lose the tie the minute I enter the studio.
Torx bits are practically life-changing. As a kid I remember hating how often I would strip out the heads of screws from shitty technique but torx is so much harder to mess up.
3/4 " $75 a sheet at Home Depot which is not even 3/4....it's 23/32.. You don't have a riving knife on your table saw making it very dangerous for a kickback event, or a small piece of plywood to ride up over the blade pulling your hand into it. Philips bits by original design are made to cam out. They were used for metals. Their use in woodworking is an anachronism. Use GRK T-25 Torx screws. They almost never cam out.

Me too. And I strongly recommend AvE, a friend of Mr. Sachs, who has an outrageously funny but educational product engineering review & teardown YT channel.
This is great, but my problem is that I don't know how to operate doors. Also, can you do a video on how to charge my cordless drill? I hope to learn how to sweep.
The materials and tools are sold to work within the imperial system, also having a standard throughout the shop eliminates confusion. Having one system that most assistants would be familiar with (even a quirky one) is better than having a secondary system that could kill consistency.
@@mauriciogabrielalves771 I agree metric is easier to work with, but when this video was made, the Studio probably had to work within the system of their local lumber yard in lower Manhattan, which would have been Imperial.

This showed up in the algorithm after years of woodworking. A love letter indeed, thank you to everyone involved and the trees whom we care for😘
Happy 10 year anniversary. Still one of the best videos on the 'tubes.
Such an artistic way of educating people.
Thank you Tom

I love this video just as much as I did when I watched it the first time!
In the wid. Cheers my friend

Bringing the sacred back into the work space. Definitely something magical about these videos :)
I wish everyone in the world could teach and be taught like this. Treasure.

The Philips head screw is the joker of all building materials.
"Should be aligned with the center of the Earth" is a gorgeous phrase.
why?
@@oghaki5097 a poetic way of saying ‘vertically’
I need a master like mr. Sach's, to become a better filmaker like the Neistats
+Franco Isa Hey Franco just do it, why not?

Proper definition of True Art.
The first time I visited LA, I was amazed to be seeing the famous PLYWOOD sign
I like how yt recommends this gem a good decade later, but i'm not mad. (torx > phillips)
Torx bits are practically life-changing. As a kid I remember hating how often I would strip out the heads of screws from shitty technique but torx is so much harder to mess up.
didnt even realise it was that old, so ahead of its youtube time
How is this free to watch. What a work of art.
Came here from Wintergatan. Anyone else?
That was not an orbital sander
Quarter sheet. Hence quartering the sand paper. A rare mistake for Sachs and Van.
Never in my life have I had a single thought about plywood. But here I am thanks to the almighty algorithm and it has been a journey.
I'm not sure why I watched this video. I really enjoyed it♥ Thank you.
Alignment with the center of the earth...in perfect posture.
What the hell, why is a video about plywood one of the nicest ive seen on youtube
8:10 holy shit. um i have something that needs fixing.
OMG! What the impressive movie!
I want to make this exact same video for HDPE
How do you achieve the shiny, compacted plywood edge seen in so many of your plywood uses? Sanding? Burnishing? Poly?
"plywood doesnt spilt"
unless you screwing into the edge
unless you don't know how to handle it
Don’t we all split when pushed to the edge?
Prevent cam-out? Use Torx-headed screws my friend.
We use torx exclusively in my shop, they will however, still cam out if proper screw driving technique is not employed.
"You can feel it"
i was never interested in plywood in my life before but not gonna lie this video is f****ing captivating!
Back in the days when you didn’t need to be a millionaire to afford plywood
How come I've only just found this channel?!?!
now I know he would teach everything to Neistats to make a good movie.
thank you for sharing your passion
Gives me Wes Anderson vibes 👌🏽

FYI, this vid was made over a decade ago, hence anochronistic tendencies…
Thank you.
this deserves 10 million views
I never knew others had the same passion for plywood as me! 😊
Spotted the Jean Prouve table at 2:59 😍
Thank you!
I needed this knowledge and confidence with tools in my life. Many thanks ❤
For the first half of the video I thought it was well shot and when Van started talking all the shit and style choices just made sense
This is an Arthouse movie about the birth and journey of Ply Wood.
5:43 What is this , fight club?
Right?! It's appreciated, nonetheless.
thank you
This is amazing
this was the best

Its where I get all these wonderful techniques.
Diablo blades are actually 7/64", not 1/8...just sayin.
I like your profile picture.
really looking forward to the tom sachs summer camp video about how to make a youtube video
A lovely film
wow I've never seen this before, I love it.. Happy new year!
Happy New Year
Is that @vanneistat I hear narrating around 6:43?
Me too. And I strongly recommend AvE, a friend of Mr. Sachs, who has an outrageously funny but educational product engineering review & teardown YT channel.
AvE turned out as an alt-right moron.
Gr8 video!!very Van Neistat
Always great innit.
Idk how I got her but I'm glad I did
Using Philips head screws is your problem, not incorrect bits
This is great, but my problem is that I don't know how to operate doors. Also, can you do a video on how to charge my cordless drill?
I hope to learn how to sweep.
I don't understand what I saw, but I found it beautiful.
Poetry. The only realm of literature which causes you to learn things about plywood.
... I don't know either.
haven't you guys uploaded this video like 3 times already?
I love this video. Thank you.
3/4" ACX 4X8...$36.95. What a time that was.

How about making the materials and tools in metric like the entire efing world?...

I’m in love
Actually a very useful video about the practicalities of working with plywood.
This was cool.
Beautiful
What's the reasoning for painting plywood before marking and cutting it?
Plywood is too much wood for OCD people, painting reduces its woody character.
I never skip that pre drilling!!
Late as usual. Best art film I've seen in a while. And...... the sweet, sweet sound of a PM66. I'll never not know that sound.
ok gotcha! that makes sense
You can still get camout if you use a standard philips driver with a JIS screw and vica verca
Avoiding camout has more to do with proper technique and focus than with the flavor of drive.
the irony is tow levels beyond me. its like a flatlander peering into the third dimension
anybody know how he adds those handwritten overlays?
the blade must be raise only about a 1/16(or less if it possible) after the size of the wood you're cutting for safety reasons.
It's complicated, kickback has the highest morbidity compared to simple amputations.
This is quite possibly the most pretentious way to tell everyone that you figured out exactly what everyone else has always known.
Fastest 10 minutes of my life. I kept thinking, "this is so Neistat"...and sure enough, it was.
So true just the angles
My god this is brilliant film making
What's up with the Chinese subtitles? Is it cause they're in Chinatown? If I'm missing something obvious, sorry in advance :D
I've never realized the simple beauty of plywood. Which is terrible, my dad was a carpenter and I love to skateboard... Cheers.
plywood is the carbon fibre of woods.. You take a strong material and layer it with epoxy to get an even stronger material, and it's kinda ugly
Wonderful video. Sensuous.
Art
you're my hero
What is meant here by "clear drill"? "Plywood is clear drilled and countersunk".
after minut 4 the video is superb
Absolutely Love This Video…! Very Well Done.
I love plywood but i don't like this video.... and i like also the metric system (I work in millimeters)
I used to hate plywood. now I love her.
Great video
This feels like the house that back built
the five most elementary fractions all have a decimal representation in base 12 and 12 is the smallest number with four non-trivial factors.
That's why they work with 16th fractions, to minimize the number of prime factors.
funny to see the "most replayed" section exposing all the coomers in yt 🤣
