@@harveylinney That is an understatement. They were worse than an 11 year old child in woodwork class. The man is a joke, too many dowels in his life then pretending to be a carpenter... sad really.
The various ways of marking odd angles for flooring is quite smart. The cd/pen trick is my favorite. Used that one when installing flooring on countless occasions. The hacksaw blade for a sandpaper cutter is another smart one. Had that one in my work truck, too.
Less than half of this was actual carpentry. The other half was how to make something super simple into more work or attaching 2 pieces of wood with different types of brackets
I've always felt that if a video or book can give you one usable idea that you can implement from day 1, the time spent watching or reading was well worth it. This video has gobs of useful tricks. I'm handy enough to do some moderate tasks around the house, but quite a few things you showed in this video would have been very useful for me to have had earlier in my home improvement journey. I'll be referring back to this video. Great job!
As a 50 year carpenter I'd had no idea that ancient carpenters had zinc coated screws, dimensional, planes and milled lumber and power tools. You never stop learning. I'll bet the wright brothers got their design from Boeing.
Yes, what was really remarkable while visiting ancient ruins was the carpenters room full of electric drills, Stanley saws, blue tape, and manufactured wooden dowels.
Excellent bit of video editing on 2nd item (downpipe in corner) making the physically impossible possible!!! Can't comment on remaining as stopped watching.
You just split the f**king wood there, @ 6:13, genius. That thing ain't holding for sh**. You needed to pre-drill the holes, particularly for soft wood like that. 😕 SMH.
A little sloppy with the glue; you also might want to consider pre-drilling some of your holes. At 6:12, the end of the wood splits, as if Moses raised his hand and the Red Sea parted.
This should be titled, “How to get millions of views and tons of engagement by carpentry professionals who are trying to prove themselves right.” Dude is a genius.
I feel blessed to have had such a long life and good fortune. I remember stripping ancient coax cable using an heirloom boxcutter. And yet I sit here today writing this comment using a tool from the distant future.
Realmente son unos trucos verdaderamente asombrosos que ayudarán a mejorar la técnica de algunos que tenemos unas cuantas habilidades para hacer trabajos en madera. Será de mucha utilidad poner en práctica algunos de estos trucos súper interesantes y novedosos para realizar una mejor labor de carpintería. Gracias.
Duh, it’s an ancient secret. It must work flawlessly if the ancients have been drilling holes with power tools and using steel screws to reinforce this joint since antiquity.
Thumbs up for 2:25, the cuts, good tip for measuring the triangles. On 4X8 sheets, my cuts are always off by a 1/2 inch, despite measuring, so annoying
A couple of these were neat demonstrations of the applications of simple geometry concepts, which I appreciate. But ALOT of these were either pointless/impractical, or straight up actively bad. I dreaded what I would see every time that chisel came out after the first one. The level of imprecision there is staggering, lots of cases where the wood got absolutely destroyed or cracked apart- even spots where you put screws into something that did literally nothing because they clearly weren't long enough.
There was also a time (at about the 5 or 6 minute mark) where they put two screws in from opposite sides that DEFINITELY would have hit each other if they were long enough to actually be necessary.
Define ancient carpenter please. Because using masking tape to remove double sided tape, using power tools, using screws or even stripping cables with razors doesn't feel ancient to me. I say it's click bait title. Some idea here are genius, but some of your work also feel sloppy a bit.
Es uno de los oficios más antiguos en lo particular es muy bonito me gustaría aprender de este oficio y por que no ser el mejor carpintero gracias por darme esta oportunidad y estaré al pendiente de sus publicaciones
I hate Clickbait, but this video doesn't fit that description. It has some slightly modernized but still ancient techniques. Ancient carpenters had chisels, they are among the oldest carpentry tools. The chisels themselves are more advanced, of course, but the techniques are thousands of years old. They didn't have power drills, saws, or anything else electric (obviously, since there were no hardware stores at the time), but they did have hand saws, bow-drills, augers, drawknives, spokeshaves and of course, the good ol' hammer. And probably more I'm not thinking about at the moment. A nearby Smithy to make the metal tool parts for them was helpful. If not, they possibly had long walks or four legged critter rides to get them.
I am reminded of the day I was doing something with a screwgun to the ceiling of a 200-year-old house while on a stepladder, when the rich owner-lady's toy walked into the room, looked up at me, and said in a derisive tone, "when this house was built, they did not have cordless tools!" I looked down at him and replied in an equally derisive tone, "what do you mean? That's all they had!"
0:35 it's edited. You can see the piece of wood just snap around the pipe. He had to pull the piece onto the pipe from above, and this won't work when the pipe is actually connected to something.
Si los antiguos carpinteros hubiesen trabajado asi creo que la carpinteria no existiria desde hace mucho. Un poco de respeto para los arboles que nos dan este magnifico material, gracias.
@@Mrinventor93 By looking at it. Just one example, at 6:10, the top board split in half because you didn't drill a smaller hole before you put the screw in. Later on, that board will flex back and forth and eventually just rip right out. Just use a dowel pin system, not whatever this is.
@@razorsfury6519 Of course. Once they made fire, they learned to use the power of hydrogen from rivers to power their milwaukee tools that they got from greece.
I'm not a carpenter but I did simple works with wood in my home. I don't understand while many of comments are sniffy, malicious, carping. This was a very impressive video, I enjoyed this very much, it gave me a lot of interesting ideas.
These ancient carpenters sure had some nice power tools.
Why am I watching this at 3 AM?
Stoned
Yo JAJAJA exactamente a las 3 a.m. 🇲🇽
Main thing learned from this video is to keep your chisels real sharp!
As a qualified Carpenter and Joiner, all of those joints and cut outs were dog rough
I'm not even a carpenter and I thought that they were all very rough.
It's probably because they're all example pieces. It's more about showing the technique than anything else.
@@harveylinney That is an understatement. They were worse than an 11 year old child in woodwork class. The man is a joke, too many dowels in his life then pretending to be a carpenter... sad really.
Ah yes, the ancient technique of using blue painter's tape
Don't forget the ancient secret of using power drills, permanent markers, and box cutters to strip wiring
@@IDiggPattyMayonnaise Hey man, my name's Skeeter Valentine.
Yeah Herodotus mentions it all the time.
Well it was named after the famous Greek philosopher Bluetapius the Elder.
Lol, that was funny but there are some good tips
Ahh yes, the ancient secrets of double-sided and masking tapes, and of tracing! Truly, arts that have been lost for centuries!
So ancient carpentors used philips screws with washers w/4 holes to repair crap?
Ancient carpenters from the 20th century.
Just because you and your parents are addicted to Angi doesn't mean the rest of the world is.
@@tedwilson4973 they also used dowels bought from the cavemans' B&Q, ACE or Wallmart. This guy is a joke.
The various ways of marking odd angles for flooring is quite smart. The cd/pen trick is my favorite. Used that one when installing flooring on countless occasions. The hacksaw blade for a sandpaper cutter is another smart one. Had that one in my work truck, too.
As an expert of ancient technology I can confirm that all of these techniques are historically accurate
None of these techniques claim to be the best, but I love the creativity and creative problem solving! Great work!
Thank you
@@computerz009 great creativity .... use dowels because you cannot use a saw and chisel properly ... then say it is an ancient secret ... total BS .
I beleive it was the Aztecs that pioneered the use of the cordless drill
Less than half of this was actual carpentry. The other half was how to make something super simple into more work or attaching 2 pieces of wood with different types of brackets
Didn’t know IKEA was using ancient carpentry secrets
1:57 let me use this ruler to drill a screw in 1.5 inches so i can mark some wood without using this ruler
Ancient carpenter with electric drill and framing squares and pencil lmao😅😅
Of course-how do you think they built the pyramids?
@@douglaspinsak1246 🤣🤣🤣
My ancestors would be proud of my use of power tools.
I wish the ancient carpenters were still alive to keep these secrets.
6:12 Watch that wood BULGE. Better pre-drill that one.
You can literally see its split line right above the top of the metal bracket.
@0:27 why bother with the square when you can just trace the extra piece of pipe?
I've always felt that if a video or book can give you one usable idea that you can implement from day 1, the time spent watching or reading was well worth it. This video has gobs of useful tricks.

Taking that weird angle with the disc and pen, that made my day! Thanks for a nice video.
The Egyptian’s and Romans only used DeWalt drills this is so fake.
😂
Also the technology to make CDs was lost for centuries after Atlantis sank.
None of these are ancient or secret.
Apparently ancient carperters had drills and CDs.
Muy bueno!😮
Gracias ☺️
I had no idea that "ancient carpenters had dimensioned lumber, power tools, steel and carbon pencils, and me a professional carpenter.
They were even more sophisticated, thank you very much.
He even used ancient Sumerian EDM as music for historical accuracy.
As a 50 year carpenter I'd had no idea that ancient carpenters had zinc coated screws, dimensional, planes and milled lumber and power tools. You never stop learning. I'll bet the wright brothers got their design from Boeing.
Simply mind blowing. Thanks for all the tips!
I'm glad they are useful, thanks for watching the video
The ancients would only use prime instruments like Milwaukee
We all know that one ancient carpenter who was keeping secrets about double sided tape
Bilateral adhesive papyrus
Yes, what was really remarkable while visiting ancient ruins was the carpenters room full of electric drills, Stanley saws, blue tape, and manufactured wooden dowels.
Thanks for the tricks on how to do wood work!
you're welcome thanks for watching our video
Excellent bit of video editing on 2nd item (downpipe in corner) making the physically impossible possible!!! Can't comment on remaining as stopped watching.
Some really excellent ideas here that have many practical applications. Thanks so much for sharing them 👏👏👏👏
The ancient way of stripping cables
Gracias por el video. Para los que no somos carpinteros nos ayuda para hacer bricolaje o salir de algun apuro en casa. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Me alegro, muchas gracias danco🙏, saludos cordiales!
The ancients were really good with pergo 😅
Amazing video I had a great time watching from start to finish 😃
I'm glad to read this and I'm glad you liked it, thank you very much.
SAW THAT WOOD SPLIT AT 6:00
This was the work of a master carpenter. WOW! Thanks for sharing.
You just split the f**king wood there, @ 6:13, genius. That thing ain't holding for sh**. You needed to pre-drill the holes, particularly for soft wood like that. 😕 SMH.
Muchas gracias !
gracias a ti
By "ancient", he means carpenters, who are over 50.
A little sloppy with the glue; you also might want to consider pre-drilling some of your holes. At 6:12, the end of the wood splits, as if Moses raised his hand and the Red Sea parted.
I love that you clearly aren’t a construction worker but you are interested in all these things!
Luar biasa saya bisa mencobanya
This should be titled, “How to get millions of views and tons of engagement by carpentry professionals who are trying to prove themselves right.” Dude is a genius.
In ancient times all of the masters would screw a hacksaw blade to their table in order to make nice cuts on their long sheets of 3M sandpaper
The tips you shared are very good
Thank you My friend
I feel blessed to have had such a long life and good fortune. I remember stripping ancient coax cable using an heirloom boxcutter. And yet I sit here today writing this comment using a tool from the distant future.
How many uses before he sliced the F out of one of his fingers?
Yeah, those electric drills, philips head wood screws and stamped steel washers can be found in every archeological dig😅
You are a good worker! Thanks for sharing

Because, because, they are the ancient carpenters. Just that simple.
of course🫡
Whats going on at 5:40? 2 screws down the center on opposite sides would just hit each other and not hold anythi g together at all.
Duh, it’s an ancient secret. It must work flawlessly if the ancients have been drilling holes with power tools and using steel screws to reinforce this joint since antiquity.
I was looking for a comment saying this. Thanks
Was that a hand saw? Haven’t seen one in years?
It's a saw that uses hand power, very ancient green environmentally friendly tools, no strip mining for the minerals to make batteries
Thumbs up for 2:25, the cuts, good tip for measuring the triangles. On 4X8 sheets, my cuts are always off by a 1/2 inch, despite measuring, so annoying

I’ll never be able to look at the pyramids the same way again 😮
Wow, where did those Ancient Carpenters get their electric jig saws and drills?!
Definitely one of the most educational videos I've watched....and useful.
I learned most of these in 4th grade.
That makes me very happy, thank you very much and welcome.
Wow! He has an incredible sense of the obvious!
Brilliant ideas thank you your skill is impressive..good luck for the future..

Ancient carpenters with their power drills...

you should pre drill your holes to avoid splitting the wood like at 6:13, other than that, good ideas!
Thank you so much
Muito bom, obrigado pelas filmagens bastante úteis. Valeu mesmo !!!

Thank god we remember the ancient technique of stripping a cable using razor blades.
This video is amazing I'm just messing around
6:14 You split the wood with the screw, you should have pre-drilled the holes before placing the screw.
Excelente vídeo

Nobody answered why the ancient carpenters kept all these power tools from us
Some of these joints are really dumb, structurally!
How do you ensure it?
@@Mrinventor93 Yep. I got 33 years at Boeing as a structural engineer! I am retired now.
@@captainclone1367 but that does not mean that you are an expert in qualifying what is wrong and what is right when talking about work
@@Mrinventor93 Yeah it does.
@@Mrinventor93 By looking at it. Just one example, at 6:10, the top board split in half because you didn't drill a smaller hole before you put the screw in. Later on, that board will flex back and forth and eventually just rip right out. Just use a dowel pin system, not whatever this is.
Que bueno este video. gracias desde Venezuela
Having the stamped washers for the thumbnail snout ancient secrets is mind baffling lol
@6:10
wood splits.....Ouch
Wow an ancient cordless drill. Where did they plug in the charger?
Yup... "Ancient" carpenters were using modern drills and other power tools
Of course, they actually used very sophisticated tools.
@@Mrinventor93 so they were using power tools?
You didn't read about the archaeologists digging up blue painter's tape, sandpaper, and veneer finish plywood?
@@thingmaker3 yeah, it's always interesting stuff!
@@razorsfury6519 Of course. Once they made fire, they learned to use the power of hydrogen from rivers to power their milwaukee tools that they got from greece.
why do people always feel the need to add awful music to videos rather than just the audio from the recording?

Muchas gracias, bienvenido Manuel
Thanks!
You're welcome, good day!
What I really like is the major use of hand tools 😊
Yeah, those “ancient carpenters” really knew how to use blue painters’tape to their maximum advantage.
Those crazy ancient carpenters with their *puts on glasses* .. electric tape
Just grab an exact pipe out of nowhere to draw the profile
Correction : an *ancient plastic pipe 😉
