7 Easy Tips to Help You in the WoodShop – Bonus Material: Woodworking Myths Busted!

These 7 easy woodworking tips will make your time in the woodshop more enjoyable and efficient. Stick around until the end of the video when I discuss woodworking Myths and how they just are not true! These are tips that I have learned over my last 8 years of woodworking either by mistakes that I have made or by other woodworkers sharing their knowledge. Hope you enjoy!

VIDEO CORRECTION: When you use the speed square to find an angle, I used the wrong side to make my mark. The proper way is to measure the angle on 45) degree edge and mark on the other 90 degree edge. I was doing this upside down for the camera, got myself discombobulated and marked the line on the wrong edge in the video.

    Dollar stores usually have those bottles for ketchup or mustard



  3. 1965greeves on January 20, 2022 at 9:30 pm

    GREAT TO WATCH ANY TIME



  4. Aaron Alquiza on January 20, 2022 at 9:31 pm

    THAT MEASURING TAPE EQUAL DIVISION JUST BLEW MY MIND



  5. Donnie Lang on January 20, 2022 at 9:31 pm

    Watched many tip videos. Easiest to understand and best one yet.



  6. Jared Olson on January 20, 2022 at 9:32 pm

    Great hints. Thanks



  7. Addie Goninan on January 20, 2022 at 9:35 pm

    Hilarious… I have three speed squares like those that I use often. I had no idea what those numbers were along the 45° until now…. they’re degrees! Lol Probably would never have figured that out on my own. Thanks for sharing!



  8. gates compton on January 20, 2022 at 9:35 pm

    A super great video, keep them coming!!!🤠🇺🇸



  9. Assassinlexx on January 20, 2022 at 9:37 pm

    The last tip is have a airtight stove. For those projects that fail.
    It is very satisfying watching it burn to ashes.



  10. Leo Bergamo on January 20, 2022 at 9:37 pm

    Hey thanks for the tips! I appreciate it as I am just starting out and can really use them!



  11. Clayton Perkins on January 20, 2022 at 9:37 pm

    Tip 2 is certainly a show stopper. Keep posting videos.



  12. Balsero 2008 on January 20, 2022 at 9:39 pm

    Great tips!!!! You got a new subscriber.
    Question please, do you have a link for the spray glue?
    Thanks!!

  14. Walkers Woodworks on January 20, 2022 at 9:41 pm

    WHAT!!! The tape measure trick at an angle is amazing. I feel like I need to pay you for that one cause that’s a game changer.



  15. Nick Clutterbuck on January 20, 2022 at 9:43 pm

    Another tip: ditch the imperial system and join the rest of the world with metric 😁



  16. tommc49 on January 20, 2022 at 9:45 pm

    Some good tips, especially the one using the tape to divide a board. Thanks for posting.



  17. Whatever..I dont care on January 20, 2022 at 9:46 pm

    Easier way to measure and divide if you’re struggling..use bloody metric system.🤷



  18. Steve Gladfelter on January 20, 2022 at 9:47 pm

    Nice video. I have some beer suggestions for you. 🙂



  19. William Ryan on January 20, 2022 at 9:48 pm

    Thanks. Greetings from Ireland



  20. Rob Alessandrini on January 20, 2022 at 9:50 pm

    You can find the center of a board with a speed square by marking a line about the center then turn it over to the other side and mark a line again. Perfect center.



  21. Rich Barschdorf on January 20, 2022 at 9:51 pm

    Math I’m a good estimator, adding and multiplication I use my iPhone.



  22. Juan Ramirez on January 20, 2022 at 9:55 pm

    I think your formula to calculate board feet is wrong. You are supposed to divide the length, width and thickness by 12 , not by 144 as stated on your video. But good tips.



  23. Sprint on January 20, 2022 at 9:59 pm

    My wife heard “you don’t need expensive tools”. I heard, “accurate and easier”.



  24. The HandyMan At The Mill on January 20, 2022 at 9:59 pm

    Great video man! I’m a woodworker and Damn great tips!!!



  25. Mr Hockey on January 20, 2022 at 10:01 pm

    These tips are probably the best wood working tips I have ever watched because they are so useful and easy to do. Im new to woodworking and I’m horrible at math so im always intimidated by some measurements but the measuring tips are awesome and I never knew you could do that. Thanks for the info!



  26. Phil2v3 on January 20, 2022 at 10:03 pm

    Thanks so much! Good, sound tips. A tip for you, seeing as you’re interested in improving your glue bottle experience. Check out the Glu-Bot, by FastCap. You can find them on Amazon for under $10. Best glue dispenser ever… pulls from the bottom and has a well designed tip. Check it out. You’ll be glad you did.



  27. Marcus on January 20, 2022 at 10:03 pm

    Number one rule in woodworking whether amatuer or pro, enjoy it. In all probabilty woodworking is or is going to be your hobby, take the pressure off, you’re not building a space shuttle. I can see it plain as day, Penalty enjoys woodworking and the advice he gives is solid. The major myth in woodworking is perfection. Whether amatuer or pro, absolute perfection is myth (unless you’re a robot), allow yourself tolerance for that minor mistake. True a CNC will get one close to perfect but to me CNC is manufacturing not woodworking.



  28. Woodmaster Pete on January 20, 2022 at 10:04 pm

    First time to see your videos, you tell the truth as I see it, so I will be back I got 60 plus years in the woodworking trade and learn something every single day. Still love to make sawdust, don’t care if it is cutting hip roofs or building corner cabinets, it is all fun.



  29. Square, Level, & Plumb on January 20, 2022 at 10:04 pm

    I built a cabinet for my table saw and used pocket holes for joinery. I had never used them before but watched enough video so when it was time to go to work there were no mysteries. As was said, do your research….my cabinet is solid as a rock. Great job.



  30. Robert Allen on January 20, 2022 at 10:05 pm

    Great job, I love that you get to the point and don’t drag it out.



  31. Jeffrey Herr on January 20, 2022 at 10:05 pm

    CA accelerator should be on the opposite surface. If you don’t blob on the CA glue, the accelerator will harden thin applications quickly.



  32. Rage of War on January 20, 2022 at 10:06 pm

    Great tips!!The angling the tape measure to divide boards is AMAZING!!!!

    Love your videos! Thanks for your efforts. They are much appreciated. From your neighbor in Mt.Juliet!!!



  35. Mike C on January 20, 2022 at 10:11 pm

    Great tips and tricks! Maybe a good idea for a video and you said it yourself is when to use and not to use pocket holes!



  36. LGMS on January 20, 2022 at 10:12 pm

    great tips. I go for the yellow squeeze bottle for visibility. but the transparent has the advantage in showing how much is left or for dif. products. thanks for sharing.



  37. jtoolr on January 20, 2022 at 10:14 pm

    Thank you, I liked most of what you said. I hit thumbs up early. After you advocated creating more plastic waste for convenience, I changed it. I’ll watch a few other videos to decide on subscription.
    Take care.



  38. Andrew Campbell on January 20, 2022 at 10:14 pm

    You might want to make sure the strip of timber is straight before you attach it to the ply for the saw track.



  39. James Rowe on January 20, 2022 at 10:14 pm

    Really enjoyed the video. Have ordered some of the Bottles. I have used them for years for BBQ, but never thought about glue. Looking forward to trying this, I know glue bottles are a pain. Watched several of your videos and enjoyed each.



  40. spagati on January 20, 2022 at 10:15 pm

    0:50 A defect cord should immediately replaced not taped together. Otherwise you risk an electric shock or setting your workshop on fire. A loose connection may also lead to other surprises like the machine stops in the middle of the cut and suddenly comes back to life and jumps backwards (kickback).



  41. Thomas Babcock on January 20, 2022 at 10:16 pm

    I use mustered, and Hershey’s syrup bottles.



  42. Edin Rakovic on January 20, 2022 at 10:18 pm

    my easy measuring/math tip: use metric!



  43. natalie mulhall on January 20, 2022 at 10:18 pm

    OMG this is a game changer for me thank you so much for sharing 😃



  44. Milofuzz on January 20, 2022 at 10:19 pm

    Edge plate on the guide could be 1/2” tall or even 1/4”. Motors in some skill saws get in the way.



  45. Pastor Larry Potts on January 20, 2022 at 10:21 pm

    Excellent brilliant usable ideas! Thank you!



  46. Scott Bertrand on January 20, 2022 at 10:22 pm

    Saw guide is still as good now as when I started in construction/woodworking.. I made an 8ft one for rip cuts .. and a 4 ft one for cross cuts .. pocket holes are a great way to attach face frame on cabinets or exterior window trim.. I don’t care what anyone thinks.. great video .. keep them coming..



  47. Kyle Verduin on January 20, 2022 at 10:26 pm

    Your tip on easily dividing board width is awesome and ill definitely be trying that out!



  48. Mark-Stephen Vana on January 20, 2022 at 10:26 pm

    AWESOME MEASURING FOR THE CENTER TIPS!!!!!!!! YOU ARE THE GREATEST!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! I was going insane just the other day, trying to find the precise middle of a flipping 2×4! How stupid is that!?!



  49. Billy Walker on January 20, 2022 at 10:29 pm

    To keep slivers from falling through my miter saw plate, I simply cover the slot in the plate with blue tape and cut through it. It lasts a long time before needing replacement.



  50. Donnie Hodge on January 20, 2022 at 10:29 pm

    Good tips 👍
