F to your legendary dad

Yeah what else did he teach u? Maybe we can learn from him to.

i tried it simply and by the blunt way and the with the blunt way it cracked 50%less thanks a lot to u and ur Father

plz tell more tricks so we can increase our knowledge

Your dad is a legend

And a broke craftsman makes his own tools from scratch :)

@@CuttySobz A bad craftsman(workman) blames his tools!

Yup

Yeah, but a /really/ good craftsman knows when his tools are actually to blame.

Avérez-vous remarqué? Quand il termine le premier bout de bois n’est contact avec rien contrairement aux deuxième…..😉🤠

Exactly. Also he was hitting the first nail harder, which also makes his point invalid. Best thing is not taking a gamble and pre drill a tiny hole before using a nail or screw.

I was thinking the same too.

pooi

@@PANTA-Music so the blunt nail isn't a thing at all? I get those splits lots of times and pre-drilling takes a lot of time, so a shortcut would be GREAT! Any tips if the blunt nail isn't a thing?

Try it. It works . When you hit the tip of the nail like that it doesn't split the wood. Im not sure how it works but it does.

Or throw it away and buy a new one

Yeah, any brush would do - that was a little hard to watch.

That trick does still work though.

Blunting the nail is what made the difference. Instead of pushing the grain apart and causing a split it tears through the wood fibers. Source: I'm a union carpenter since '07. Edit: Also, don't predrill for nails. They hold in via friction. If you remove material you remove friction. Conversely, yes, you should predrill screws to the size of the shaft. The threads do all of the work, so you don't need the friction of displaced material.

Ye, you can also see that the second nail also made this pece of wood crack ;) Personally i just use thinner nails for small pices of wood... Edit: *for thin pices of wood

@@jutub3662 - That's not how it works. There are different nails for different jobs, and a correct size of nail depending on the thickness of wood that you are nailing through. If you choose the wrong size fastener, you risk your piece falling apart and hurting someone during use.

​@@JCPRuckus Well, i am hobby-carpenter for few years, and i have made many different things out of wood- from furniture to carved spoons . I just wanted to sed that in this particular example, i would use thinner nail, "small" wasnt acurate word indeed, i should have written "thinner pices of wood" ;) Maybe the method showed on video really works, i have never tryed it, since my nails cause cracks in the wood extremely rarely :D

What about using candle, instead?..

Few people are likely to have beeswax around the house. Everyone has soap.

Floorwax also good.

Candle also

@@garlabanfly Even better than soap.

dietero100 i usually use vaseline. Works like a charm

Because soap has Sodium Chlorides in it.👍

JUST DO IT!

Any wax will work.

Using soap is wrong, Can use a hard lubricant, Eg: Grease Otherwise the nail get corrosion

If you wanna REALLY be surprised wait'll you see what happens if you grind the point off of the nail completely FLAT... and THEN go to hammer it into the wood, just make sure you have some scrap-wood directly under where the nail is going in untill it starts to come out the other side! Or for a neat trick with finishing-nails when putting up molding, Chuck them in a drill and spin them completely through the molding and continue Drilling the nail In 3/4 to 4/5ths into the wood below the molding, then Hammer it in ALMOST the rest of the way and finish with a countersink! You'll never split the molding again cuz the nail drills its own pilot-hole!

Lio Alan i was taught the same as a kid and whenever I have issues with the boards splitting i blunt the nail and it usually helps in soft woods hard woods generally need drilling though Happy Woodworking David

Nah, he screwed up.

Lubrication.

Soap is water based will make your nail coroded

I was taught the old way, dip them in varnish. Nope just lean into that torque

friction

That's what she said.

Stumpy nubs talks about the pros and cons of each type of nail - cut nail vs modern nail, and that kind of explains it

But I didn't know that about sharp edge across grain, like ofc that makes sense but dummies like me gotta be told!

😂😂😂

Maybe in a pinch

Sometimes you dont have the right size bit for what you need. Its a good trick that would have saved me buying a larger bit this week

Pa dam tss

1) Blunting the nail causes the tip to tear through the wood, instead of utilizing the full affect of the 4-sided wedge that is a nail tip. With the advent of inexpensive nail guns, this technique is not used nearly as much as it was in, say, 1975? Pay attention, though, to the direction of the chisel on the string of nails/brads you're using, or you can still split the end of a board; only more quickly and with a satisfying 'ca-chunk'. 2) The soap lubricates the screw so as to make twisting it directly into the walnut board go somewhat easier. And removal is easier as well. 1st- bad choice of screw. Those bugle headed sheetrock screws are very prone to popping the heads off, perhaps due to the double-thread design; the screw goes in more quickly, but provides much less pulling power compared to a regular single thread type screw. Use the right screw to start with. 2nd, I don't install screws without providing a tapered countersunk pilot hole. IDK what it is about being a cabinetmaker for 40 years that causes one to do things right the first time. It just does. 3) using a rolled up piece of abrasive paper to enlarge a too-small hole. If you have only the one hole to correct, this is a solution, but you can easily make the hole too big and end up with a sloppy fit. Here's an idea- use some calipers to measure the machine bolt before you drill a single hole, and then choose the best sized drill bit to accomodate the bolt? And make that first hole in a piece of scrap to test fit it? Just a suggestion...

@@shaylynwonky2651 zfz

Good

Clem McGuinness Why not just use the bit drilled the hole with? Or drill the proper size hole to begin with? That’s the worst “trick” of the 3 and will eventually ruin your chuck as well.

@@Spoons7414 I know right just use a sanding stick this guys an idiot

And the rust will keep the screw in!

Lol

Jye

Dobt worry bud the drill cost him like 5 bucks

Yeah , I taught the same thing !

2nd is wrong: you put the first nail into the hardest part of the wood(the darkest) and the second one in the soft part of it. This is easly credible for whos never worked with wood! This is so stupid

1 works, dulling the end of a nail will force the nail to tear through the wood instead of spread the wood like a sharp nail does

2❌because soap make rust on screw. 3 unnecessary

There all wrong mate.

Just looks like a drill bit

He drilled the second screw on softer sap wood unlike the harder wood on the first screw
