MORE Secret Tips the Woodworking Pros Won't Tell You!
There is no substitute for working with seasoned, not term Woodworking Professionals and Carpenters, they work so smoothly and all that I have worked with a very adept at what they do from Finish Carpenters to Boat Builders they all have their tricks of the trade and use things they have on hand for innovative uses like Carpenter’s levels as measuring sticks, Paraffin wax to make tools glide over the wood on everything from hand saws, to table saws, jointers, planers and even wooden drawer glides, then using an ordinary chisel as a marking skew for super-accurate marking and all sorts of other creative ideas in today’s woodworking class!

doesn’t the wax coat the wood, preventing varnish cohesion?

Another good useful video young man, nice to see you in 22, (Can we have the whiskers trimmed a little thanks…LOL.)
Fantastic video thank you for sharing 😀
Love that level technique, very useful indeed
I’ve tried a number of those T-squares for drywall use. And I’ve found them to be 1/16 or so off. Which is fine for drywall, you’re going to mud it anyway, but would be problematic for woodworking. The smaller ones like the one Collin is using is probably OK. The bigger aluminum ones, not so much. And I’m not just talking about cheap Chinese knockoffs.
subscriber hint… store drill bits pointy end down, saves finger cuts
I really enjoy your tips. As I work these tips get used and are helpful.
But they told you 😃
Thanks for the tips
looks like the t square i got with my drafting kit freshman year in high school 55 years ago.
Ok, that marking the level trick is gold. Why did I never think of that? (we know)
Good to know. Thank you.
great stuff, thanks for sharing your knowledge👍
What do you mean "pros won’t tell you"? Click-baity titles are BS. Love your vids otherwise.
I still use my T square exactly like yours from 8 th grade in1955. Good for picture mats used in framing also. I admit to being a pack rat
Secret pros tips? use them for all my life , never learned them, if you are not stupid this is just common sense 🙄🙄 aaah ,common sense ,the magic word a lot of ”people ” don’t have it no more nowadays 😖😖👎👎
I’m showing my age telling you we used to use our wax paper sandwich bags to slick the slides on our playground in elementary school 🙂
Thanks
Great tips Collin! Thanks for posting
brilliant stuff yet again!
Paraffin also works well on knives, chisels, answer circular saw blades.
Interesting that so many people have not heard these, my shop teacher in 5th grade must have been exceptional.
I had forgotten about the Paraffin wax. Thanks Again for the tips Collin
Great tips as usual Colin! My dad did lots of cabinetry and marine carpentry and he used paraffin or old bars of soap to lubricate screws before putting them in. Apparently, the friction melted the wax and allowed the screws to go in easy, but once in place the hardened wax held just like glue. The soap was good too, but probably less adhesive. I use paraffin on all the places you mentioned in the video. It makes everything a bit easier!
Wax works wonders on table saws. Add a bit of paste wax and it made the sawing a lot smoother!
:))
My dad used to use a block of beeswax on saws and also on wood screws/other threads. I inherited his old block of beeswax in a peanut butter jar. It will probably last my entire life, I treasure it.
Great tips.
nice tips.
Natural candle waxes like beeswax and Paraffin wax can be used. Maybe also soy and palm? Can apply to nails and screws as well as saws and planes.
The parafin also works great on a playground side
Great tips 👍
I will use the level tip for hanging pictures with two hook points on the back, then transfer to the wall. Thanks
Excellent ideas
Thank you for sharing
Colin, thank you for sharing your tips. I look at these tips and say to myself, that was an Obvious little trick…
I have an inaccurate t-square, so not sure why he thinks they’re alway accurate
very useful, thankyou.
My Dad was a carpenter for over 50 years – the man never owned a tape measure. He used folding rules only. He carried one in the top pocket of his bibs, right under his chin at all times! I found a dozen of them in his garage when he told me to clean it out. Each of my sisters took one, and the rest are hanging in my shop.
As an old time draftsman I can tell you that a T-square is never exactly 90 degrees. All you work is relative to the arm of the square and not the edge of the drafting table. I’ve had T-squares way off square and it doesn’t affect your work as long as it’s aligned to the arm. Just sayin’. Cheers.
Nice tips, paraffin wax can also help with stuck bolts and nuts. Heat up the bolt or nut and allow the wax to melt into the fastener. Once it cools it should come right off.
Great hints Colin! Happy New Year!
you are a Pro.
How about a question? I’m wanting to build some shelves for my records (Kallax doesn’t fit my space). Should I use 3/4 play or MDF, and what screws are best?
Love the tricks. But I’m a beekeeper so I use beeswax, but I do have paraffin too.
Have a great day
Love the T-Square. I may get one of those! Also, the paraffin wax looks very good too.
I love the idea of using a level as a marking tool. Wish I had seen this 40 years ago!
T-square, "never seen one that wasn’t accurate", until it gets dropped on it’s head and most don’t wait for that. Most sheet-rock squares are not precise but you need to know how to check them. Interesting title, most pro woodworkers are happy to share their tips. A lot of "most’s" in my comment. Mostly accurate 😉
that level/tape marking idea is fantastic. I just hung three framed photos and that would have cut my time down considerably… I’ll use that one going forward! Thanks 🙂
Great tips!
