hi there Happy times nice to hear from you again dovetails ok, i will practice some first !!! i dont honestly cut them very often but they are a nice joint worth the practice have a great weekend Happy woodworking David

Rustic David thanks for a quick reply, so what is your most common form of joining wood, if it’s a joint whiz is your favourite

Happy Times hi well the most common joint that i use would be the mortise and tenon,its a table a chair a door a window a bed etc so thats the joint i make most then the simple edge joint ie no mechanical joint just two straight edges glued together to make wider panels then rebates for shelves these joints are common in my work for furniture for clients where they need to be made at a reasonable price, often the price dictates the construction method for cheap and cheerful furniture its plywood ,screws and a brad nail gun and glue personally im Happy to give the client what the want at a price that’s good for both of us ok im rambling on Have a great weekend David

Hi Rashawn , Thank you for watching Best Wishes David

Hi Glad you like the video, whats gunpla? best wishes David

@@RusticDavid thanks for the pin, Gunpla is a set of robotics toys called Gundam that you have to assemble yourself which is where the fun is (kind of like Lego's but less blocks and more anime), think of it like making your own miniature ships or houses, but instead of woods it's plastics, and instead of ships and Houses it's robots with wings and guns and swords.

Some Random Weeb sounds amazing have fun David

I dabble in woodworking which is why im watching this video. But I also build Gunpla haha. I end up just getting the cheap 40¢ nail sanding/polishing kits from my local cvs. They work to get a nice smooth finish. Currently finishing up a Keroro robo MKII. Not gundam exactly but still a Bandai kit looll. Got a whole bunch of HG and RG kits built using the nail polishing sets.

Hey Maschngon,Glad you like the video Happy Woodworking David

Hi Manoj Thank you for your feedback,wet sanding i would say is for non porous surfaces like painted or varnished wood,metals,plastics ,glass etc. “wet and dry “ sand paper is used which is made fo this purpose,starting in higher grits 600 through to the 1000’s the water washes away the dust and debris and lubricates the surface . Same rules apply start with low numbers and work your way up . I will make a note of your request but meanwhile watch some car body repair videos and furniture painting videos especially spray painted Good Luck to you my friend David

@@RusticDavid thank you for ur reply. I had seen such videos, but all have different technique for working. So i want to use one technique and work on it.

Hi Abdul I find 80/120/220 good for my projects Certainly good for a door Best wishes David

@@RusticDavid yeah I did that David. Came out perfect. Well perfect for my standards anyway. Thanks for replying.

Hi sorry I didn’t get the vincent price reference but thank you for your feedback Happy Woodworking David

Hi Slick

It’s best to go through consecutive grits as the next higher grit removes the scratches of the previous grit this not only gives smoothness but visual clarity you can see the beauty of the wood like polishing a lens best wishes David

Yes you are correct try the highest number you can 400/240 and just a light sanding all over you don’t want to remove the finish Good luck David

@@RusticDavid Thank you so much for your reply! :D

@@RusticDavid Worked wonders! Used a 220, 400, 600 and 1200 grit and they are back to their former look. Thank you.

Hi Exusiai How are you? Yes 60 grit will remove rust and so will all grits, for a smooth finish I recommend 60 ,80 ,120, 220. Good luck Happy Woodworking David

@@RusticDavid to remove rust do i wet sand or dry sanding?

Exusiai バイブ hey what is the article?

Both work you need wet and dry sandpaper for wet sanding and it goes up to higher grits low numbers are dry to40 to 200 say

Hi Unicornice the answer is yes your results will be effected by the hardness of the metal and the type of sand paper “emery cloth “ sand paper cloth is best but try what you have also a file will do a great job Good Luck David

Hi Mahmood if you start sanding with 80 grit 120 will remove 80 scratches 220 will remove 120 scratches So go back to a lower grit number to remove scratches then go up to a higher grit number I hope this helps Best Wishes David

Hi if you start at a higher number it will take more time to remove planer marks and scratches and wear out sand paper, the low numbers will remove material easily and fast, in short it saves time and sand paper Best wishes David

@@RusticDavidI guess that makes sense. Thanks.

Hi isabella, if someone is sanding wood that’s hard and highly figured ( that’s to say looks good) the higher up the grits you go the more polished the wood is and the more details of it you can see . Think of a pair of eye glasses if they are scratched with a low grit you cannot see well through them the higher grit makes them clear and you can see I don’t often use such hard highly figured woods and i sand 60,80,120 ,220 and stop there Hope that helps best wishes David

Hi zico they call it both grinder and disc here in israel

Hi Claudia, yes the higher numbers are finer Happy Woodworking David

Hi David, you can use 180 grit and im sure it will be a superior finish but i am satisfied with the results without Best wishes David

Hi Fredric if you do it will take a longer time to remove the scratches from the 60 if you dont care about how it looks it will be smooth to touch but the scratches will show when you add a finish best wishes David

@@RusticDavid thanks David!

Hi Vitoh are you saying sandpaper costs a lot where you are? If so try making your own cabinet scraper check out this link kzfaq.infod5Vn3B1915s?si=CIp5069-oyA6zZ6Y And search “ make your own card/cabinet scraper “ Good luck best wishes David

Hi Web the same rules apply regarding grits but I don’t know enough about metal work to tell you which type sandpaper to use good luck David

Hi like everything it’s easy when you know how!! Happy Woodworking David

Hi Ansari thanks for your comment, it led me to Google where Wikipedia shows me a chart of " grit sizes" which are measured in micrometers so it appears we are both off track!! as the number seems to represent grit size not quantity in area ! Either way low numbers are coarse and high numbers fine ,i would love to hear any more information on the subject Happy Woodworking David

Hi if you work through the grits from the roughest to the finest it will save a lot of time and energy 80 grit easily removes the scratches left by 60 120 easily removes the scratches left by 80 if you skip these steps it will take a long time and a lot of 220 paper to remove the scratches left by 60 I hope this helps Happy Woodworking David

@@RusticDavid Okay, that makes sense now. I appreciate the quick reply. 🙂
