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
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.
Mos’ ppl 2 bizzy watching TikTok (adult version) . . .😎
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
I love this video just as much as I did when I watched it the first time!
In the wid. Cheers my friend
"Should be aligned with the center of the Earth" is a gorgeous phrase.
why?
@@oghaki5097 a poetic way of saying ‘vertically’
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.
Bringing the sacred back into the work space. Definitely something magical about these videos :)
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.
i was never interested in plywood in my life before but not gonna lie this video is f****ing captivating!
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
I wish everyone in the world could teach and be taught like this. Treasure.
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?
+Walkertongdee truee!
The Philips head screw is the joker of all building materials.
I'm not sure why I watched this video. I really enjoyed it♥ Thank you.
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.
Back in the days when you didn’t need to be a millionaire to afford plywood
That was not an orbital sander
Quarter sheet. Hence quartering the sand paper. A rare mistake for Sachs and Van.
Came here from Wintergatan. Anyone else?
How is this free to watch. What a work of art.
"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?
The first time I visited LA, I was amazed to be seeing the famous PLYWOOD sign
Proper definition of True Art.
now I know he would teach everything to Neistats to make a good movie.
What the hell, why is a video about plywood one of the nicest ive seen on youtube
Alignment with the center of the earth...in perfect posture.
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.
"You can feel it"
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.
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.
I never knew others had the same passion for plywood as me! 😊
How come I've only just found this channel?!?!
this deserves 10 million views
Gives me Wes Anderson vibes 👌🏽
OMG! What the impressive movie!
8:10 holy shit. um i have something that needs fixing.
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
thank you for sharing your passion
How do you achieve the shiny, compacted plywood edge seen in so many of your plywood uses? Sanding? Burnishing? Poly?
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.
FYI, this vid was made over a decade ago, hence anochronistic tendencies…
I don't understand what I saw, but I found it beautiful.
Thank you.
Thank you!
This is amazing
Spotted the Jean Prouve table at 2:59 😍
Idk how I got her but I'm glad I did
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.
Poetry. The only realm of literature which causes you to learn things about plywood.
... I don't know either.
I love this video. Thank you.
Gr8 video!!very Van Neistat
Diablo blades are actually 7/64", not 1/8...just sayin.
wow I've never seen this before, I love it.. Happy new year!
Happy New Year
really looking forward to the tom sachs summer camp video about how to make a youtube video
I used to hate plywood. now I love her.

Its where I get all these wonderful techniques.
Absolutely Love This Video…! Very Well Done.
This is an Arthouse movie about the birth and journey of Ply Wood.
Wonderful video. Sensuous.
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.
How about making the materials and tools in metric like the entire efing world?...
@@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.
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.
What's up with the Chinese subtitles? Is it cause they're in Chinatown? If I'm missing something obvious, sorry in advance :D
thank you
Always great innit.
Van Neistat is bringing me to strange places at 3am ... plywood... ok
this was the best
I like your profile picture.
Actually a very useful video about the practicalities of working with plywood.
Fastest 10 minutes of my life. I kept thinking, "this is so Neistat"...and sure enough, it was.
So true just the angles
I never skip that pre drilling!!
haven't you guys uploaded this video like 3 times already?
Plywood is a delicious looking sandwich. Yes sir! This was freakin beautiful
I've never realized the simple beauty of plywood. Which is terrible, my dad was a carpenter and I love to skateboard... Cheers.
Interesting video, and good stuff for beginners. I too love plywood, though it sure seems to be getting expensive these days! I also like the driving power of the Robertson (square) head over Phillips, but few hardware stores carry the square head. The only thing I would have added about Phillip head drivers is that worn bits won't properly grab the screw either. Anyway, my 2 cents. Thanks for shooting and posting this video!
haha 8 years ago saying it was expensive. now its even crazier.
I am a time traveller come from 2022. BUY ALL THE PLYWOOD YOU CAN IN 2014 - NOW!
I hate Phillips with a passion. I go torx drive head screws and only resort to Phillips when there are no other options.
GRK fasteners are my go to...
@@qfudgedoggycan you explain why?
@@PiLLO360 torx head driver bits have much better engagement with the screw head. They rarely slip and strip out the heads like a Phillips does. They also seem to slip much less that a Robertson (square) bit does....like whenever I'm doing Kreig pocket screws. Wish those things were Torx.
I love plywood but i don't like this video.... and i like also the metric system (I work in millimeters)
Using Philips head screws is your problem, not incorrect bits
ok gotcha! that makes sense
3/4" ACX 4X8...$36.95. What a time that was.
Imagine not having Robertson screws. Lol
My god this is brilliant film making
A lovely film
that's some sexy screw driving technique
the irony is tow levels beyond me. its like a flatlander peering into the third dimension
I feel like a thumbs up is not sufficient.
Solution to no cam-out: TORX. Can only guess the very dramatic and passionate narrator has discovered this since the publishing of this vid and is kicking himself.
after minut 4 the video is superb
One word: Van
Beautiful
this video is fucking awesome
I love the video
This is very very artistic thanks for the lesson
This feels like the house that back built
4:50 But why? Both of the worlds can agree that the Metric System is more comprehensible, more versatile, and easily more elegant than the Imperial System.
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.
Art
This was cool.
Great video
I came here to learn about plywood and now I'm looking up art courses at my local college.
Did Tony Shalhoub just give me a sanding lesson?
