Hey Bourbon, let me add to your dent removal procedure. The steam works great but on a large dent or a dent in hardwood, take a razor knife and cut into the dent with the grain. Score it several times (depending on the size of the dent). Then leave the wet towel on for a couple of minutes so that the water can get down into it. Then steam it good. Bad dents will rise above the surface so you would have to sand it back down. An old craftsman from Europe showed me this technique when I was a younger man (now I'm the older man- 70years).
Great tip. I have done the iron thing, but it is good to know it can be taken a step further. For exterior work like Cedar trim, an errant dent can often be solved with just a touch of spit. I know it might sound gross, but a little spit and some time will swell up the wood fibers and make a dent disappear.
I first saw this on the samurai carpenter, he learned from a Japanese wood worker who told him the name in Japanese which apparently translated to "killing the wood." I know this is totally useless information but now you have it too!
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
HarborFreight saw😂😂 Also a way better option for the clamps is pick up some cheap rolls of hockey tape and wrap any wood handles like a hockey stick it’s very easy and makes a substantial difference
Put the setup block lengthwise along the blade. Raise the blade. Any part of the blade reaches the top surface of the block first is the center and also set to the correct height.
any part of the blade? what if the tooth of the blade is not directly at the top? the blade needs to be turned on like he showed to make sure the peak of the blade is accurate
@@tysonkoehn1 you have to assume some modicum of common sense with people doing a skill like woodworking with power tools you know. With the power off, manually rotate the blade to check for high spots.
@@martinmoss317 if your set up block is directly over the insert lengthwise like you mentioned, how do you manually turn the blade while it's lowered inside the saw and cover by the block?
@@tysonkoehn1 on the insert next to the blade man. Set block next to blade, adjust so as you manually turn the blade the highest point only comes even with the setup block. You're not putting the block over the blade itself.
Dude. Adding the lag bolt to the wooden clamp handle=genius. Among other helpful tips, I love finding ways to implement my power tools into traditionally menial tasks.
Regarding the ironing of dents, I learned from my grandfather to use a washcloth. Soak it completely, wring it out so it's not dripping, then leave it on the dent for a few hours (don't let it dry out). Once it's soaked into the dent enough, most of the dent is already gone. Popping the iron on it creates steam inside the wood grain, helping it return to it's normal shape. I've gotten rid of large dents just by doing this, rarely ever needing to sand it afterwards either. ^.^
When scoring the line for the jigsaw, I put the straightedge on the “keeper” side to avoid damage to my product if any deflection occurs. If the blade gets away from you, it can cut a line on your desired face.
Me searching the comments wondering if I was hearing things when you said harbor freight saw 👀 love your work and content man! Definitely one of my favorite woodwork TH-camrs! You have a plethora of information that I have tried to soak up like a sponge. I want to be a better woodworker and eventually turn it into my full time job to get off the damn excavator I run every day. Keep the tips and other content coming bud! Thanks!
At 14:27 he mentions a harbor freight saw. What is the deal with this? I am pretty sure you can't get the grizzly table saw that is in his description there.
@@whosdaman69 He has two saws; one is Grizzly that I think he's said he uses as a dado setup. The one he said he got at Harbor Freight looks like a Saw Stop and, I'm assuming, was a joke/way to cover his butt since he's sponsored by Grizzly.
Love the antics! Worth the price of admission. Glue bottle: convert cap to mustard cap (for some reason, glue doesn't obstruct port); take [plastic] mayo jar, cut off top 1~2", set on bench, put glue bottle upside down in it's new "holster", and it's always ready (good to the last drop); sawdust storage: prescription bottles (for many of us, while we can still see the table saw, plenty of 'script bottles around).
Yeah those little prescription medicine bottles are very handy! Unluckily, we have a bunch of them but I use them for storing small stuff, especially screws.
Perfect timing! The other night I was just wailing on a super-tight joint without a block between the mallet and the chair leg, leaving a series of little crescent moons (it was the end of the day, I was tired, and just wanted to get it done). I knew about steaming out dents but had never done it. But after watching this, I got out the iron, soaked the paper towel, and POOF! All the dents are gone. Knocked back the grain with a swipe of 320 and now only you and your TH-cam audience will ever know.
That coffee grinder trick is absolute genius 👌 can't tell you how many hours I've wasted over the years going the orbital sanding / emptying dust collection route... You sir, deserve a very large bourbon 🥃
Diablo top and bottom cutting blades are amazing for the jigsaw. It always gives me a very clean cut. I ended up throwing a bunch of my blades away because I knew I'd never use them again after discovering these blades. Awesome video, as always. Your transitions crack me up.
Thanks Jason for the tips and putting a smile on my dial. I always use the scoring line trick when i need to cut down a wood veneer plywood door. You crazy guy you.
Great tips thank you, on another note I installed my first undermount drawer slide, you were right I cannot believe I struggled all these years with the side mount. Never going back now, thanks again for all your advice
The "score the cut line" trick is especially good when cutting melamine and paper-faced boards. Not just for the jigsaw, but for all cuts since the materials are so easy to chip and tear out. However this "find the saw center" was ridiculously over-complicated. It can be done instantly without even switching on the saw. Simply lower the blade, then very slowly wind it up until it catches on a flat metal object wiped across the table.
Stop making me know so much about woodworking! It’s pushing out useless stuff I have in there. Thanks to you I no longer remember how to open my bourbon bottles! and have resorted to just smashing the neck of the bottle every time I want some.
LOL, Bourbon Robot and calories. At 74, just now getting back into woodworking. My decanter and cigar humidor has been moved safely away from the work bench. But I find myself moderating my woodworking, and enjoy life's little pleasures all the more. Love watching your videos. I've learned a hell of a lot.
Pro tip on jig saws. If you're not worried about how the cut looks on the bottom. They do make a down cutting blade. Which is used for laminate countertops for cutting out sink holes and it doesn't tare up the surface/laminate.
You just have to be extra careful as those blades will push the saw away/out from the material, rather than pulling it into it. A good alternative, if you are careful though.
Ha, good on ya man! 4.3k views in 45 min. I must say, I have been in the custom woodworking business for a while but I still enjoy watching, I occasionally have your channel on in our showroom
This is great. A couple new ideas I can actually use. When I'm having a less than stellar day, I tune in to one of your videos. Always does the trick. You are hilarious. And so talented.
I really like these videos I've been wood working for about 40+ years and there is always something new to learn. I have the Rockler clamps for the saw fence but the way I mark the abor center (I know every one has there own way sorry) I just raise the blade to nick the bottom of the wood pc then lay a flat square up to it and scribe my line no need to move anything. No square just cut a piece of scrap to 90* and mark. One other thing I would point out is if you steam wood or soak it with hot water to get a dent out WAIT until the wood is dry BEFORE you sand it. If you let it dry it will be slightly above the surface and can then be sanded flush. If you sand it WET it will dry and be slightly below the surface and leave a slight mark. Give it a try on some scrap. As long as the wood fibers aren't cut from what ever caused the dent you can get out some pretty big dents to where they leave no trace. Thanks RCW
Yo- long time listener first time caller… your stuff is great. Thank you. I have learned more from you and Blacktail Studios than anyone. Thank you. I actually can get my wife and daughter to watch your videos like a tv program because your fun. Weekly watch worthy folks. If you know you know. Jason is the GERSHDERN MAN!
I have another tip for finding the dead center of the table saw blade: Before putting the blade into the machine, draw the diameter line through the pivot hole's center on the blade's side. Now, when you put the blade into the saw, all you have to do is to put a square next to it. When the diameter line is parallel with the vertical side of the square, there is your dead center. This way you don't have to mark your table, just your blade.
I can’t tell you how timely and helpful this was! I was just making some shelves with scrap oak that I had to fill nail holes with. I made my own wood filler! Nice 👍
I love your videos! You present useful information and (sometimes great, sometime very good) humor/entertainment at the same time. I also like watching you struggle sometimes because I do, in real life and when not acting.
You continue to amaze me. It makes no difference how short or how long your blade is, the stroke of your jigsaw does not change therefore it's irrelevant if your blade is 3 inches or 3 miles.
The wood glue and sawdust trick can backfire on oak as the dust can turn really dark, almost black, when it absorbs the water in the glue. I prefer to use epoxy glue, clear shellac or sanding sealer as the binder when filling oak
You can find the center of the table saw blade the same way when you are making a zero clearance insert. Just stop the saw when you first start seeing the blade come through and mark directly on the insert. Turn the saw back on and finish the cut.
In retrospect, good ideas always seem obvious. I will be buying a coffee grinder for my trailer. I never would have thought of that. The "Craig jig" toilet cleaner was funny, but him screaming like a little girl at the sawdust pile was hilarious!
Thank you for the jigsaw hints. The work you do is totally aspirational for us as we have a jigsaw, a trim router, a drill, and a small miter saw. So being able to work more cleanly with the jigsaw is wonderful.
That ironing trick.... I got a dent in the fretboard of my stratocaster years ago, and the guitar tech I took it to used this trick to get it back to level!! You can visually see it, but it's smoothed out and flat again!! Totally using that trick for my current project!
Loved the coffee grinder tip. Thanks It was mentioned that the animals were raised/cared humanely . Then how did they end up as meat chunks in a plastic wrap. Just a thought!
I always paired the set up block lengthwise with the blade. So I never have to be dead on on the center. Turning the blade around by hand and adjusting the hight with the other hand. As soon as the slowly rotating saw teeth points are flush with the block? Done. It's maybe a bit more cumbersome then your fine tuned method, but works like a charm.
Be careful with the coffee grinder sawdust maker. The heat it creates by grinding and the super fine dust of basically cellulose can spontaneously combust. It happens in grain cylos sometimes and happened way more back in the day b4 modern day ways of doing things (sry forgot the word I'm thinking of). So just be careful when grinding it and u still might wanna wear eye protection, just in case it decides to go kaboom. But besides that, it is a really good idea on how to do that.
i already knew all of this, but i had fun. jk, i actually learned 2 things that werent even tips. i do the wood glue sawdust thing, but it doesent always work to my satisfaction because it doesnt finish the same. never thought of miving it with the finish as a binder, may try that in the future. 2nd thing i learned, apparently harbor freight has some damn nice table saws now. @14:25
Always weird to see a local business advertise on one of your favorite TH-cam channels, but love PRB (Porter Road Butcher) and love that they are getting well earned success and are expanding their reach! Can 100% back all the talking points - I have worked in restaurants that have used PRB’s meats since the very beginning 10 years ago, met farmers they source from and can vouch that they take really wonderful care of their animals, and dang their meat is good. If you follow any sponsor link let it be this one! Not affiliated with PRB in any way, just a fan of both the channel and the sponsor.
@ Aria. I'm with yah mate, I live in South Australia where we have a supermarket that promotes local produce & stocks local boutique niche products. What I LOVE about those products is that they are guaranteed to be fabulous, or they would go out of business very quickly. It's pretty obvious, but it also helps the local economy, so EVERYONE wins, the only caveat is that it's slightly more expensive, but it's WAY better eating. 👍🇦🇺
02:26 If possible, put the straight edge on the good side of the cut so that if the knife does wander it does so away from your workpiece. Even more important - get a straight edge that has some protection for your fingers in case the knife rides up or snaps. I've see what happens and it isn't pretty.
Yup. Happened to me just last November. Before I realized it climbed up the ruler, a portion of my index finger was already separated from the rest of the finger. Worst woodworking accident I've had so far. Wouldn't stop bleeding...
OK, the coffee grinder deal was genius. I'm definitely stopping at the thrift store for a coffee grinder. I see them there for like $5. I hit thrift stores to pick up old cutting boards and wooden spoons and such...
Hey, wanted to add to your table saw center tip, instead of trying to eyeball that center cusp, all you have to do is measure the bottom, where the blade enters and exits the wood. Then find the mid point and mark it on the wood and move the fence over.
Best tip for the jigsaw cut, just use your jigsaw below the board. You'll see the blade for more precise cuts and the tearout will be on the bottom, which is good enough most of the time. Great video tho and i'm always a fan of your funitures
Hey Bourbon, let me add to your dent removal procedure. The steam works great but on a large dent or a dent in hardwood, take a razor knife and cut into the dent with the grain.

If you use shellac much, the coffee grinder is also great for grinding up shellac flakes. Makes them dissolve much faster in denatured alcohol.
You're smart, funny, and a great teacher! Thank you!!
5:56 The deflection from the jigsaw cut creates a pretty convincing faux live edge look. Handy little trick to know.
Thanks for the videos! Now you can make one on making a new shop stool!
02:26 If possible, put the straight edge on the good side of the cut so that if the knife does wander it does so away from your workpiece.
Even more important - get a straight edge that has some protection for your fingers in case the knife rides up or snaps. I've see what happens and it isn't pretty.
Yup. Happened to me just last November. Before I realized it climbed up the ruler, a portion of my index finger was already separated from the rest of the finger.
Worst woodworking accident I've had so far. Wouldn't stop bleeding...
Scoring a jig saw cut 1st is a very good idea.
The advice he gave for scoring a line is that exact same for blowin one.
Just used the sawdust and glue thanks to this video. Turned out pretty good!
Just got the grinder and used it. Perfect hack. Thank you
My favorite is the coffee grinder... that is a truly great tip...
FREAKING COFFEE GRINDER, That is Genius!
Jig saw and flush trim bit to fix the wandering???!!! LOVE that!!
Coffee grinder is also great for grinding shellac flakes - makes it dissolve faster.
Thanks for all of them.
You are my favorite youtube wood worker.....so funny and entertaining. thank you for making great videos.
Love the spice grinder idea!
You clamping genius! I love you!
OK, the coffee grinder deal was genius. I'm definitely stopping at the thrift store for a coffee grinder. I see them there for like $5. I hit thrift stores to pick up old cutting boards and wooden spoons and such...
Hey, wanted to add to your table saw center tip, instead of trying to eyeball that center cusp, all you have to do is measure the bottom, where the blade enters and exits the wood. Then find the mid point and mark it on the wood and move the fence over.
Definitely putting a coffee grinder in the shop. That’s a great idea.
That new Craig jig is the best!
Best tip for the jigsaw cut, just use your jigsaw below the board. You'll see the blade for more precise cuts and the tearout will be on the bottom, which is good enough most of the time. Great video tho and i'm always a fan of your funitures
