Inlays, Butterflies, and Bowties
These are similar to the box corners, another way of hiding nasty knots or cracks in the end of boards, where you don't want the crack to keep getting bigger. These fixes can be done by hand, but I like using an Inlay kit. These kits will not work on any of the Palm Routers that I know of, you need a bigger full-size router.

Boxes
If you are making boxes or other projects with 45-degree corners, that just don't fit as well as you would like. These can often be fixed by simply inserting a different colored wood into a fine cut you can make on your table saw. Make sure you have a good quality cross-cut blade, and again, make some test cuts, and you will be surprised how easy and effective this fix is ... and your boxes will great too !! https://bit.ly/3GRshEQ #woodworking

Clamp
If the rung is broken, it often falls into one of 2 kinds, the first is a long cracked rung where both ends are still attached to the chair legs. These are somewhat easy to fix (usually). All that is required is to apply a liberal amount of yellow glue inside the crack as best you can, then clamp the 2 pieces together, remove as much of the squeeze-out glue as you can, then re-clamp (watch that the clamp will not stick the chair rung).

My experience with fillers. They may look fine at first, but I have not found one that stands the test of time, even just a few years, so for this, I try really hard to never use fillers ... but sometimes there just is no other choice so I am super stingy on when and where I use them. The only ones that I have found somewhat effective are the "after" products. That is, products used to fill small nail holes or tiny chips, or even scratches in furniture.

I have only used this trick on a couple of occasions, but it works really well. If you even are gluing boards together and you are not certain whether or not you will need to break that glue joint, what you can do is glue both sides of the board with a thin piece of paper between them. I have only done this a couple of times, but both times this trick worked excellently.

Teeth
Someone asked me if clamping a steel square to a table saw blade was a bad idea, so they could better check "squareness". My response was, yes you can do that but be careful you don't bump or bang any or the carbide teeth on the blade. I carefully attached my steel square to the blade making certain I was between carbide teeth, then clamped it there with a quick-release clamp. When I shined a light on the bottom of the square, I could easily see light coming from under the square.

Finishing Finishing wood is easy, there are lots of great products ... finishing wet wood is a whole other issue. We all know water and oil don't mix so what you can end up with is a finish which can give a blotchy look and take days to dry.

Joining wood together can be one of the most challenging aspects of using wet lumber, there just are not a lot of good choices when you know wood is going to shrink for sure, and possibly also warp, bend and crack.

When you are looking for lumber, there are 2 things you need to know, 1) what are the dimensions of the wood and 2) how wet is the wood For the latter, you need to have a moisture meter. Now you can get by without one, but you can also get by without a table saw too. If you are serious about woodworking and want to eventually produce some good quality pieces, you need to purchase good quality lumber, and knowing the moisture content will be paramount. #woodworking

Moisture content is almost never talked about but it is THE most important issue when you are buying wood because almost everything that falls out of your builds that becomes problematic is a result of the high moisture contained in your wood. We all love to build things but trying to build quality furniture from construction grade 2x4s is usually a miss match of wood to project.

I love this idea. How many times have you opened a half-empty can of finish of whatever, varnish, paint, hardening oil and discovered that there is huge "skin" that has formed over the finish that now has to be broken through. Someone has developed this thick plastic bag that includes filler parts to help fill it up and now you can have your finish in a plastic container with all the air squeezed out so that "skins" will not form and end up getting mixed up in your finishing product.

I make batches of these things from time to time and give them away ... people love these for storing their electronics and phone cables. Again I start with a larger piece of wood and work at making it smaller until it is the right size, then I cut the slots for the cables with my bandsaw. Again I find the bandsaw safer and sometimes the table saw blade will chip one of the smaller pieces because they are somewhat fragile at that smaller size, so the bandsaw is a better bet.

I have never tried this and at first blush, it might sound like a good idea - but it's NOT, and here's why. The router bit as it sits in a router table, rotates in counter-clockwise position and we push wood through the router bit running from right to left because the router bit has at least half of its diameter behind the plane of the fence, so the cutters are cutting into the wood as we are pushing it through. #woodworking Woodworking Bench For Sale, Router Woodworking, Woodworking Classes, Jigsaw Projects, Router Projects, Scroll Saw Patterns Free

As I understand it ... all (or nearly all) plywood manufactures belong to an association that sets the standards for plywood. One of the standards is that plywood should be thinner than it's designated size. For example, a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood should never exceed the thickness of 3/4 inch which means most plants will make their plywood somewhat thinner so that when you purchase it, the plywood will be varied by how thick it is, but it will be less than 3/4 when you purchase it.

Bad Idea: Ripping bowed or crooked wood. Any wood that you are pushing through the table saw needs to be flat against the table saw top, and straight against the table saw fence. If you do not have a jointer, there are other ways, jigs, and techniques of making the wood flat and straight ... and safe to cut. #woodworking Bow Wood, Table Saw Fence, Jigs, Wood Crafts, Straight

Basically, all I do is use them as a mini scraper to scrape off the glue before it sets. It's quick and easy and it means you don't have to do a wholesale sanding of the whole board just to get off a drop or two or glue. I even have a little mini scraper I made to get a better grip on them that comes in useful from time to time especially on edges and corners. #woodworking Butcher Block Cutting Board, Bamboo Cutting Board, Garage Shop, Good Grips, Sanding

I purchase 2 kinds of disposable glove, the better quality ones that are vinyl, and are a bit tougher to work in, I purchase from tool supply stores, but the more lightweight glove, the ones that I use for working with CA glues, I am now finding at dollar stores and these gloves are great because CA glue does not stick to them. They are bit lightweight for working gloves but are perfect for small jobs like painting or staining, and especially for working with CA glues. Tool Supply, Glues
