Oh my gosh, thank you so much!!! I just wasted a whole bunch trying to pour some in a bottle, it was everywhere, all over the counter, in the sink and on my clothes. You are a lifesaver, honestly, you should get an award, REALLY. God bless you so big. Love, Jude from Kentucky ✝️🥀🐎

This is my nomitation to KZfaq's video of the year award

I always just take straw and fill up my mouth and then spit into the other cup i needed to be filled

YES ! Cant believe you waited this long to do how to vids.Lovinit ! Thanks Frank and always much love for Norm

Thank you for the tip on how to pour fluids out of containers. I was that one who was pouring it the wrong way. One thing I use are the containers that have lunch meats in them. They are sealed in a plastic bag inside of the tub. The tubs are good for small pieces you want to keep. Have a great day !

That is amazing.I worked for a city mural group through high school. When working with 5-gallon buckets of primer, we weren't taught proper pouring technique. Thank you.

how to make several thousand people feel like idiots in 4 minutes

Thanks for starting this series. The neh sayers are kind of silly here, but any tips are always a good thing no matter how simple. It makes us all better, so simply thank you!

I already love this series. This kind of information is so valuable, and often not shared widely. Thanks Tested!

Love the idea behind the new series. Great tips for those of us who keep making messes!

Thanks for this. Very useful for replacing fryquel in accumulators. Keep tips coming.

This should be called Common Sense series

Very helpful. Looking forward to more. Thanks.

I have been building stuff in shops for many years. I've never seen the roll-the-bucket trick before. Neat!

Great idea! Thanks for the practical common sense advice. So much tech minutia is lost on me, but I can really use ideas like this. Keep 'em coming!

Great tip indeed! It also works on a smaller scale; like juice or milk containers. It allows to not form a 'vacuum' and gulp your fluid at once out of the hole.

I use a hanging file folder box to organize and store my sandpaper sheets by grit. Makes it easy to find the one I need and know when I'm running out of something.

This is genius, straight to the point. Should do more videos like this one!

I'm liking the new direction Norm is going with the channel. more and varied content.

Great new series, looking forward to more shop tips!

Now THIS is the content I come here to see. Riveting stuff. Absolutely riveting.

I love design like this. So simple, so effective.

MIND BLOWN lol ... that rolling technique is going to be used everyday where i work lol... so simple

I was looking for a pump to get paint out of a 5 gallon bucket, and this video is a huge saver. I don't need that pump after all. Thank you

The two part finish I use on guitars comes in "paint can" style containers and since I'm typically using 10oz or less at a shot, I use a larger medical syringe. No can tipping required and I can accurately control how much I pull out for mixing. Obviously you want to get a bunch and dedicate/label one for each product you use, as well as make sure whatever it is won't eat the plastic or rubber parts.

wow I actually really needed this lol. I am in an oil painting class and I've been pouring my solvent the wrong way.

Never thought of that, because I rarely use those lange containers. But good to know how to use then more convenient. Thanks for the tip.

Super simple to you but a revelation to me. Thanks!

Rolling!!!! Super tip. Thanks.

Yes! Such a good idea, and exactly what Tested viewers want. Cudos, Norm!

I had no idea how to pour things out of containers, now I do. Thank god I was starving.

I like the idea of shop tips. Lets see what the series brings

Love the idea of shop tips

Looking forward to this series! These tips were great!

This was awesome! Keep 'em coming please! Love this!

Can't wait to see more!

I'm excited for this new series

This is, very very basic tip. But I hope you keep this series going because this is interesting stuff. I knew this thing before for sure, but hearing someone elses arguments and further info was awesome!

I knew this to be true with quarts of oil in a car but I guess I never did transfer this idea to gallon cans or five gallon cans but thanks for the advice I'm getting ready to empty two 5 gallon buckets of hydraulic oil into my log splitter and I purposely looked this up how would be the best way to Pour, so thanks so much hopefully I will get most of it in the log splitter and I have subscribed to this great Channel thanks again for sharing this great tip!

Great Tips. Very Helpful.

I hate when that happens, especially with paint thinner. Very helpful!

Didn't know that ... Thanks Guys.. See that why I love this channel too...

super cool keep them coming!

How dum do I feel! Lol, keep the tips coming

Coincidence. Was watching Tested, searched in the address bar for this topic... end up right back at Tested lol.

Nice start to an inventive show. Keep at it!

Years ago I was dumpster diving and found some wire double level racks for retail like you might use on a point of sale. We used as shoe racks for 15 plus years. When I retired them they sat around for 3 years and I noticed they might make good side saddle rack on my tool boxes. So I put one on a tool box but it sat at a 10 degree angle off the box due to some locking tabs so I grabbed the Dremel and cut them off now they fit nice and flat each will hold 8 cans of spray paint and many other cans or bottles. The point is there is a lot of good usefulness left in scrap retail just like with Adam's aircraft beverage cart glue station or the many diy sort-a- more. Also if anyone uses a into polisher Wal-mart has a brand of cat litter that is ground corn cob half the price of corn cob at a hardware store.

Next Time on Shop Tips: How To Walk Backwards

Man I WISH I had a garage shop. I have a kitchen table covered in newspaper with a really old cutting board, and a tiny patio (also covered in newspaper) for anything with any kind of smell or splatter. Spray painting wooden dowels outside while it's windy isn't exactly fun. I have some friends who only have their living room/bedroom floor, or one friend used a tiny secondhand coffee table and a blue tarp on his balcony to make his wood working shop. Apartment life is fun.

i dunno whats worse. you for making this "how to breathe in and out series" or me for watching it.

Very good new feature!

I look forward to seeing more

I'm not likely to have a shop larger than my parents' garage (or my own garage after I move out) but this is still useful stuff to keep in mind.

This is extremely useful.

Great new show. Good idea

SHOP TIP: Pour windshield washer fluid by pouring it from the side allowing air to evacuate easier... That way you don't get it all over your engine compartment and waste it.

I'd love to hear some tips for the best way to do work if you don't have a shop (I live in an apt but still like to build occasionally)

i cant wait for more of this

I've been struggling with those canisters for year. I've looked on forums and emailed manufacturers. I can't believe this was the answer all along.

This kind of tip is great for not looking like an idiot on your first day in a shop, just the kind of advice I need

great! waiting fore more

LOL idk why I didn’t clue into this, I knew it already and was still convinced I needed to punch breathing holes into my lid! Hahahah thx guys!!! 20L chlorine into the reservoir without a spill. 😂 good lord

THE BEACONS THE BEACONS OF MINAS TIRITH ARE LIT

Is useful even for juice in tetrapack :)

Looks like you did better with the 5 gallons than the one. In all candor it appeared as though the reverse was true with the one gallon. I'm doing 5 gallons with propylene glycol, so, thank you.

Before putting the lid back on superglue, tap the bottle on a hard surface. This breaks the surface tension in the nozzle so it doesn't then dry out and block the tip the next time you use it.

Great info lads

I love tips! You could even speed them up a bit :)

MIND. BLOWN. 💥

the trick with silicone i use with my red gas cans moderating the air flow to slow the gas to a crawl when i fill my yard equipment.

This is great stuff

The metal container one I learned a while back but I just ended up coming across a large funnel and use it.

At least I’m not the only one that’s been doing it wrong their whole life, thanks for the video!

I use the old dremel-scoop method. You cut around the top with a dremel to remove the entire lid. Then using your left hand make a shape like your cupping your balls. Proceed to scoop the material out with this shape. Rinse and repeat.

The technique that he shared for pouring from containers is also a great! It's also a great TIP for pouring anything from a carton, such orange juice, detergent liquid, etc., THE LAW OF PHYSICS (mater, weight, air & gravity) being applied???? ;-D

I'm ~40 and it is not that many years ago i suddenly figured this out. It just never enters your mind, i actually noticed it first with full oversized juice and milk cartons. Years of sloshing liquids all over the place. My dad doesn't do it either, no one i knows knows this little trick. Seems so obvious. BTW; in the top position, the surface can slosh very violently, when it's "upside down", spout down, you are taking liquid from the bottom where there are no waves... Those surface waves can easily spurt a 2m long squirt, or slosh acetone on your face, those fast waves die fast so after tipping, wait few seconds.... ;)

Great series :)

Omg that paint thinner can was my enemy and I was cracking my head on how pour without spilling 😂🤦‍♀️

What if the 5 gallon bucket had no lid. How do you pour it then?

Smooth-on 1 gallon silicone pails dont come with these pull out spouts. Any recommendations on where we can buys this?

Thanks that was helpful

That last tip... if you've grown in eastern canada you'd know the breather hole technique from opening cans of maple syrup haha

Good Tips

wow!!! you're like a smart person huh!? mind blown!

for the metal cans I use coleman fuel spouts, 5 bucks on amazon. for 5 gallon buckets I use action pumps which are also cheap.

You want more stuff your dad should have taught you? "Don't tighten any of the fasteners until you've got them all started." I have lots more.

Same thing for small oil bottle or chainsaw bar oil. Spout on top and it pours great, spout in bottom and it will glug and spill.

On the next shop tips episode: How to use water to make things wet. This is their first shop tips video and it already looks like they're scraping the bottom of the barrel.

This works for oil containers as well, great if you don't have a funnel. (quart size, gallon works too but not as well)

I'm looking forward to seeing where this series goes. What I really want to know is where frank got the Porkins BBQ shirt

*shows how to pour liquids out of containers without spilling*.........*still spills liquid onto table anyways* Good Job!

Put glue in an empty mustard bottle. It pours really well and doesn't clog like the small Titebond bottles.

a few weeks ago I discovered this principal on milk tetra packs. so it took me 30 years to pour milk without spilling. good one!

Frank confirmed poring master.

tip for a wide brim container into a really narrow hole - hold a rod/spoon handle to the brim and point into the narrow hole, the liquid will run along the rod into the tiny hole. sorted :)

Perfect. Just the information I needed!!!! Making sanitizers from 99% isopropyl alcohol can and aloe for COVID - 19. I could save all the precious alcohol I was spilling all over.

the rolling method was neat, never thought it could work like that. No more backpain trying to use some weird yoga position so you can pour, see and aim the damn thing xD

Like the new tips norm

Use the free paint sticks from Home Cheapo for mixing 2-part stuff like epoxies, molding and casting, bondo, tartar sauce, what have you. Tape the shop vac to the output of your sander for superclean sanding. Wrap hardwood with painter's tape before crosscutting to prevent splintering. Stroke a magnet several times with your screwdriver to magnetize it. Or any steel tool. When you pour motor oil into the engine, hold the container with the spout at the top and you can get closer and lower to the engine. OR, for a pro tip: hold your thumb over the opening of the spout, turn it upside down and let it go when the spout is IN the access hole. Not a drop will spill. Now, wash your hands. Wet sand coats of paint on metal with 800 or higher grit between light coats. Clean glass with 000 steel wool and glass cleaner. Sew, glue or tape a magnet to the back of your glove to hold screws or small metal parts.

very good
