He made this look like a television clip from the 1990's on purpose didn't he? Good call.
Wait, so you telling me this isn't from the 90s? LOL
🤯
Nice one
Looks like he is working on the Barney set
Reminds me of the fraggle rock set.
The toothpick thing is legit. Thought I was buying a new door this weekend. Thanks, my first step to being my own handyman lol
Sir, your anchor bolt suggestion for door hinges is brilliant. I was having the exact problem and using anchor bolts did the trick perfectly. I owe you a beer. 😎
Thank you for imparting your wisdom in just a down to earth, friendly, confident manner.
I CANT BELIEVE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS TOOTHPICKS WORKED!!! THANK YOU
Soge King I know! I tried it myself on a heavy wooden back door. Easiest repair. Thanks for the tip. 👍👍👍👍
Soge King fixed the door here after a handy many couldn’t.. simple quick fix
Same here
I like vag
You could also use any type of wood bamboo skewers is great as well. popsicle stick coffee stirrers loads of stuff.
Sir you are a national treasure! Thank you!
I love the video. I appreciate how this was in the style of a friendly neighbor or mentor answering a quick question for you. Thank you for your help!
This is such a helpful video. Screw hole stripping is a very common problem, and I never knew I had so many options to fix it. Thank you
RIP Ron.
You made a very positive difference in this world. ❤
Wow, that Bondo solution is brilliant! Thanks!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I ENJOY ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS! THEY ARE EXTREMELY HELPFUL, ESPECIALLY TO A SINGLE MOM WITH 5 KIDS!!!! 🛠️
Soothing to watch ❤
Working with body filler for the first time, i was a bit nervous, but it worked exactly like you demonstrated. Thanks for a great lesson 👍
That was fantastic. Well done!
Sir, I used this method to fix my loosened wooden door lock. It saved me few hundred bucks. Haha. Thank you.
Which one did you use?
Really great tips and advice and glad people like you make these videos to help others - Awesome!
Thank you. I needed this to fix my guitar.
Toothpicks! You bloody legend! 👍 That little trick has just saved me god knows how much time, effort …. and not to mention being spared the man shaming I’d have proably received as I'd of had to ask a friend who has more experience than me at the moment! 🤦♂️ 🤣
Thank you for the tooth pick idea...it is perfect
The toothpicks tips actually work. I am in doubt. Thank you very much. XD
Love it Ron!
wow exactly what i was looking for lets go
Excellent presentation: just what I need as I install some new doors using old screw holes. :) Thank you, sir.
Another quick and effective option is to drill larger holes and then get some wooden dowels that are the same size as those holes. Put some PVA wood glue around the dowels and then hammer them into the holes. You can then drill new holes.
You said quick. Bigger screws is quick, replacing the door is quick.. not your idea.
@@Odin31b you might be lazy.🤷♂️
@@wk8457 you said quick, you might be stupid.
@@Odin31b think a bit more. five minute epoxy is quick. stronger repair than toothpicks.
Thank you. The toothpick saved me a piece of furniture. I couldn't fix the screws on my nightstand knob anymore and this worked like a charm!
Worked beautifully for antique table! Couldnt use longer screw, used original screw with 3 toothpicks! Well done, and thank you.
Brilliant! Used thin kabob skewers to repair stripped out lag bolt holes. Took about a minute. Great tip.
This is amazing! Lots of thoughts went into this video. Thank you!
This really helped me with a project with my dad. Thank you
Thank you. Exactly what I needed!
Short no-BS video packed with very useful info.
Legend ! 1st option worked. So simple and who would have thought. Thanks mate, from Aus!!
Thank you! You’re a great teacher! I’m going to follow you and look to you for all my home improvement questions first.
I would love to pop u
Drill out the hole to a larger hold then get a wood dowel rod and and glue it into the hole. After it's dried, cut the dowel rod flush on both sides and you and new wood to screw into.
Good idea! Probably the strongest method.
Fixed my desk with this.
Outstanding!!! Just the info I needed. God bless you.
Thank you for your expertise.
Absolutely amazing. Love the useful info and video style
He's not the hero we deserve but the one that we needed.
you saved my family sir. my wooden stairs panel pulled off today and you dont have any idea how we thank you. may الله أكبر bless you and your family. cheers from Kuala Lumpur
I just fixed both my door and my antique nightstand. The plastic anchor trick worked like a charm. Thank you!
Thanks for a super nice quick tip! It works like a charm.
This guy is my new dad. Thanks dad.
Awesome tips!
Beautiful. Just what I needed. Liked and subbed.
Thank you. This is exactly what I needed.
Yep me too
A small sized plastic, disposable cake decorating bag works better for forcing any kind of putty or filler into large holes like in the third solution he gives. Cheap, clean, and easy, and keeps the filler off the rest of the board.
Thanks
THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WORKED LIKE A DREAM!!!
Great idea. You can also put the putty in a small zip lock bag and cut a corner off of the bag and use with the same principle.
@@davidneumann6231
Exactly. Trying to get the filler into a hole with a plastic spreader can trap air in the hole making for a weakened threaded plug. I’ve especially noted this when filling a largish hole in skirting board or whatever. Pushing in the filler with a spreader just traps air and is fiddly to remove at best without sanding flush and putting in a second coat. Both the icing bag and zip lock bag would work very well, however I don’t tend to have an icing bag on site with me. I’ve just used any old plastic bag I can find and cut a corner off about 3 x the size of the amount of filler to be used, job done, plus at no cost.
Actually you need to press it in to get a good solid contact with the wood fibers.
Hi, just checked out this video from over the pond. Your ingenious tips solved my problem in 10 minutes, so simple, it just didn't occur to me. Thank you.
Thank you for this great tip!

This was insanely helpful!
Awesome video with interesting technologies and techniques!
Thanks, Ron. No more stripped door hinges holes in my place. Awesome.
I needed this so much. You have no idea.
The toothpick trick worked for my cabinet door. It's so great that it took seconds to fix a problem I had for weeks. Thank you!
Great tips! Thanks.
That was great Rod thank you!
This was a life saver sir. Thanks!
Absolutely great ideas. I needed something that can withstand a bit of pressure. I’m going to try some 2 part epoxy instead of the filler.
Many thanks! Very helpful
Ron you are THE MAN!
Excellent advice. Thank you ....
Great tips. Toothpicks... genius!
Very useful ☘️
Very smart and practical solution,
Thank you
Great ideas here. Didn’t have matches, chopsticks, toothpicks and didn’t want to drive into town. Cut 2 inch long by 1/4 inch pieces off the end of the longer style paint stirrers. Sharpened the end, put some glue on it and drove one in each drilled out hole. Worked great.
Wall anchors for stripped door hinge screws, brilliant! Thank you!

This video feels like home
Awesome presentation 👏
Naw you're definitely the goat.. my 1st time watching and I'm amazed by your simple techniques🤯🤯
So simple, but brilliant
All good ideas and clearly work. However you might not always have tooth picks or plastic wall plugs with you. Nevertheless, working on site be it re hanging a door with enlarged screw holes or any other fixture you may be trying to re-fix, it’s most likely that you will have a chisel or a utility knife with you. My favourite go to solution is to cut a 3 sided wedge from the corner of a scrap piece of wood, cutting along the grain, not across, about 3/16’ longer than the screw. I then cut the 3/16’ off the bottom tapered point. Then [without enlarging the hole] I poke a bit of wood glue in the hole and hammer in the tapered piece of wood into the screw hole until it won’t go in any further, then cut off the protruding end flush. Then use an awl to make a hole to get the screw started. The tapered plug is such a tight fit that it becomes part of the wooden frame, or whatever pieced wood your trying or repair. I have yet to find a stronger way of dealing with a stripped/enlarged hole. I’ve used matchstick’s in the past which work the same as wooden tooth picks at a pinch.
Worked for my table legs. Thank you!
