Nice video, and thank goodness you’ve ditched that stupid blue tape ball gimmick – I will now subscribe.
Hello Chirs, I just discovered your channel two days ago, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I just decided to open my channel on YouTube about 7 months ago, I’m just taking the first steps. Very good job you do, author furniture, 100% art. Thanks for inspiring. Greetings from Valencia, 🇪🇸.
That joint filling method is very helpful
Great video again Chris, some lovely camera work. But there was something missing. Can’t quite put my finger on it. I think it is something to do with blue tape, but I did see blue tape featured. No, still niggling at me! The trick with tricks and tips is to save them so you can use them when they are useful in a project. Actually, no, that’s not the trick. The trick is to remember where you saved them so you can use them when you get to that point in a project. Using the sharpie for marking to allow room for final trimming is a good one.
That router depth tip is epic. Never thought of that! Thanks!
Hi thanks for posting , just what I was looking for.

Nice video Chris and Shaun Thanks for sharing it with us!👍💖😎JP
I think that learning on shop projects is even better than learning on regular projects. You have the margin to screw up and try again (because it’s a project for you), you can mix and match techniques and materials (because who cares), and you end up with something useful in the shop that is a semi-permanent reminder of the things you learned!
This video doesn’t count – there’s no ball.
what kind of table saw wrenches are you using?
it is called "revolver stop"
Why are you all so skinny bro?
I always put tape on both sides of the cut. Even that way, if I get confused, I’m covered.
What did any of this have to do with the thumbnail image?
Hey @Chris Salomone, just curious what software you use to draw up your designs? Big fan of the channel, keep doing what you’re doin!
Hurray Shawn!!!
Go Braves
But if you repair with glue, don’t you end up with a line that won’t accept a finish?
I figured out that measuring was hurting my results all the time. I finally started measuring once, set up a stop, then repeat. Much better than measure cut, measure cut, measure cut, rinse repeat.
You spend so much time talking about the bed, then the link in description doesnt reffers to this clip, not the bed build…
Joint filling with wood glue – how long do you wait before sanding please ?
Sharpen your sharpie with a utility blade. No joke, even saying it on the name
The Jordan 1’s on the wall are awesome
Good info here, BUT I gotta know what’s up with the A’s hat? I love the Oakland A’s I’m a NorCal guy but the Athletics are my team. 🤙
I have never thought of that with a router. Great idea
Thanks guys, good video. If you release the router depth instead of pulling the pattern (ie bed rail connector) then you don’t risk moving your depth stop pulling it out. Great tips, and yes, I like the glue sawdust mix best as well.
Hadir dan menyimak kakak,salam sehat sukses selalu.and salam suport fullllll
Respect for the “don’t watch tips videos “ advice.
Armchair woodwork has its limits in terms of how much can be retained.
That being said, tips are often nice and entertaining smallish chunks of time. Some of it might stick and if not then it can always be watched again when it’s needed.
So, yes and no 😜
Thanks for the tips.
How to get the depth correct? Use the DEPTH GUAGE. GREAT “tip.”
Great information keep it going
Where so you buy the metal components for your projects?
Pure gold! Thank you!
Hey, I from Brazil and I find your videos very didactic, fresh, and inspirational. Thanks for this work.
What, there’s nothing wrong with touching CA glue, it was originally invented to close bullet wounds, it’s completely compatible with the body.
Great tips!
A sharpie is also great to alter the path of a hurricane on a weathermap without showing you altered it yourself…
Good video and tips again! thanks. But i think there is pros ang cons in using sharpie on marking something on wood. And what i think is big con with sharpie on wood is that it will sink in, more or less, depending on wood, and that makes it more inaccurate.
Hey guys: Keep it up, Please
Great tips !!!
I like using Titbond 3 with sawdust, especially for white oak since the glue dries brown. The gaps almost disappear.
Another tip that I recently discovered when sanding wood edge banding on plywood is to use a pencil to scribble across the plywood when sanding the edge banding flush. I don’t like using a spiral router bit due to the bearing leaving marks on the plywood veneer. I just sand until the pencil scribble on the plywood disappears and then stop. I’ve sanded through too many thin veneers on plywood, which totally ruins a project! Use a white pencil on walnut.
I also invested in a Bosch GET75-6 sander which blows away typical $100 5" orbital sanders for speed of removal. $300 won’t break the bank compared to a $700 Festool.
Love the series fellas! I learned to do a score cut on the table saw, just break the first ply on the first pass, then raise up for through cut, glassy smooth!
I absolutely love your content and delivery style. Laid back, quiet, concise, and most of all, straight to the point.
Using a piece of paper plus the inlayed piece gives you that extra thousand of an inch that you probably need because no one is perfect if it’s too deep just stick the piece of paper behind the hardware.
Thanks for watching! Here are the videos we referenced in this video:

If I have a gap to fill, I usually use shellac and wood dust instead of wood glue. Since I usually use shellac as a sanding sealer, it doesn’t interfere with the finish.
I love the cheeky b-roll of you trying to sand the metal hardware
That’s the exact method I use to fill small voids if I have no other options.
Excellent tips
I find the CA glue holds more true to color. Other glues darken the wood.
