I'm not a carpenter or a woodworker. I've built a few nice things out of wood before in my time. My trick for certain woods is masking tape! Stuff like doors or plywood tend to leave splinters on the underside of the cut. If you lay masking tape on your cut line and cut to the edge of the tape, you can then peel the tape on your finished cut piece and not have splinters. That's for the videos Leah, I have learned some great tips and tricks from you. Btw, being a welder as my career, you did an excellent job welding aluminum.

I've used painter's tape placed so as to fully cover the cut line on both sides of the piece. Mark your line and cut right through the painter's tape. Keeps both sides from splintering and gives you a clean clear mark as to where to cut. Very useful if cutting laminated flooring or countertop pieces as well as plywood, flakeboard, and other 'particulate' type materials.

Here is a trick that works for me , and was taught when I was taking woodwork in school 60 years ago. To keep a saw straight when cutting. Look right down the blade of the saw. If for example that you are right handed . If you looking off to the left when sawing . The blade will drift off to the right and to the left when doing the opposite . To start a saw cutting , hold the wood with your left hand and place your left thumb knuckle against the blade , not your finger ! Gently draw the saw towards you on the first stroke, or two . This will stop it jumping out and possibly cutting your left hand . I hope this is a help to someone ! By the way seejanedrill, I think you are an excellent instructor ! :-)

Fantastic tips on the handsaw. I never knew about the pointing your finger tip or the saw’s use as a speed square. Whenever I use any saw, I always make my pencil mark right at the final degree of the length I am cutting. When I make the cut, I do so to where the pencil line remains visible even after the cut is made. This can easily be erased, sanded or painted over. Too many times when I cut along the line, I found the blade’s thickness took some extra wood and fouled up my measurement. I love your channel!
@jeffreynolds4702

I mark to the other side of that line, so I cut the entire mark but not more- and then I strike a curved line to the waste side, so that if I get interrupted, I still know exactly where my cut needs to go. Either way, you can mark fine cuts with a blunt pencil and still keep your precision. Cheers!

I started watching your videos by chance in 2019. I was preparing to purchase a home. In my neighborhood the homes are pricey so I knew I was going to buy a budget friendly fixer upper. I've been a home improvement enthusiast for years so I figure it would save money to buy and fix it up verses by new but struggle with being house poor. My meager skills started growing back in the day when the internet was not a thing yet. I purchased diy books from Home Depot, or borrowed books from the local library and binged watched home improvement shows. Since finding your KZitem videos I have enjoyed learning from your short lessons. I love the way you explain and demonstrate. I have learned from you how to install drywall, tape and mud.

Even though I am an electrician and not a wood worker I think I have a really good tip for anyone who uses any kind of drill motor to drive screws whether in meta, wood or any other material.... Learn how to 'feather' the trigger. I have watched a lot of different tradesmen, of different experience levels who don't seem to know how to do this. Instead of short bursts on the trigger, which will not only make the screw go in stronger, it also will save you from stripping out the head whether it's a Phillips, Square or any other type. Don't just pull the trigger and push... this will strip the head and cause the screw to not fit as tightly as it should. I was on a job where there were about 25 wood workers building/installing cabinets and they were getting deliveries of 10,000 screws every few days. I thought it was weird because they weren't really putting in much finished product but then I saw that they would have hundreds of screws on the floor around their work space, and every single one was stripped out because not one of them would feather their trigger. They would go full bore, using about three to five screws just to get one settled in, and often it didn't really hold solidly. It's just another example people not understanding the technique and doing things without skill.
@tgp-rq2wi

What does that mean, to feather?
@awickedtribe
4 жыл бұрын
@@tgp-rq2wi "Feathering' is when instead of pulling the trigger on the drill all the way back and trying to aggressively drive the screw, which more often than not will strip the head, you use a lighter touch and work it in short bursts. By doing this you not only have a less chance of rounding out the Phillips, Square, Hex or whatever type of screw you are using, you will find the screw goes in cleaner. This also works for bolts, nuts and really just about anything when you are using a drill or impact to drive, in fact it even works when you are using a hand tool like a screwdriver. 'Feathering' is also what you should do when you are tightening something, whether a bolt or a screw where there is a less 'giving' material than wood. I have watched guys use an impact wrench to tighten something and will hold the trigger down a few seconds after the socket stops moving. What they have done is 'cupped' the threads which is when the threads have been pulled back and are no longer at a 90 degree angle. Most of the people I have worked with, even the ones that have been in their trade a long time, really don't understand the mechanics of what they are doing, and seem to think that using a power tool means you can pull the trigger and that's all it takes. They seem to think that things fall apart unless you tighten it so tight you cant take it apart without ruining the bolt or screw or threads. They will keep doing it even if they snap a bolt or strip a head. They don't understand what torquing is is either, but that's another issue

I think 'See Jane Drill' harkens back to the first books our generation used to learn from in how to read: 'See Jane go; See Jane jump; See Dick run; See Spot run, run Spot, run'--were all phrases kids learned to read by found in the early readers for beginners. I am assuming Leah in her play on words has used the same principal to teach novices carpentry and other skills--- to explain things in simple terms so we can grasp the basics. more easily.

Dick and Jane books were basic readers. Hazarding a guess using my family, if you are between the ages of 85 and 45, you most likely used these books. I recall the teacher saying, “Class, get out your reader”. The books taught us simple sentence structure, how to read out loud in a group, and other basic skills. Our age group was taught to read phonetically and not sight read. We would often be directed to write our own Dick and Jane story, sometimes using current events. If we could read the entire book, with no issues, we were allowed to pick another book from the class library and read that as well. That was back in the days when schools provided things like glue, Kleenex, pencils and paper, and books to each student. Teachers had classes of 30-40 students with no assistant, met with parents after the dinner hour once a month, could spank if you were disrespectful in class, and we had recess three times a day from Grades 1-6, Kindergarten was half a day with nap time!

So as you can see I can do a number of things I've had my business forward 15 years and for the last 15 years I work for large school district as a carpenter be called upon anything else that may arise when the other Tradesmen are technicians are not available. Like I said I love your videos and watch you from time to time to even brush up on my own skills but something that I may have forgotten or just haven't learned yet. So thank you. One thing I would like to add though with a hand saw now I do you use your finger but you also use the blade as a guide do not cut straight up and down angle your hand saw at at least a 45 degree angle or more to use the blade as a guide with your line that you are cutting.

Hi Leah! Just wanted to thank you! I was able to build a small wall section to put the old tv on with a lower cabinet to fit all the wires! It isn't done yet, but it is plumb, level & square!!! You are The Best Teacher!!!

Hi. I have tried the technique using your index finger to guide a handsaw. It works beautifully. Love your videos.

I have been successfully self employed doing home improvements for 41 years and very much enjoy watching this channel that somehow was a suggestion by you tube. There are things that even I have learned from Leah as no one knows it all and I always love to learn new things. Leah Bolden is a gift to everyone who watches her. You will come away better for it.

Hi Leah the thickness of a carpenter rule is 5mm which is useful at times for checking gaps between doors and frames.

Oh golly. A saw handle has 90° and 45° built into it. That could have saved me and now, will save me lots of trouble. Thank you. Many of the KZitem channels seem to be for precise furniture making skills. I'm not getting into an expensive Arms Race of various power saws just to cut a piece of wood straight! You've also saved me from breaking drill bits as I go the same for plastic, wood and metal - fast drilling does not suit metal. Great basic invaluable information!

Great channel. Here’s a simple tip I’ve learned from my father years ago. When using a razor knife and you have a lot of cutting to do & it wears out the tip and becomes dull. Take wire side cutters(diagonal cutters) and nip the old tip off. Just take a little off. The blade will be sharp and pointed again. You can do it several times before you have to flip the blade over or replace it. This will save you time and money. Hope this helps someone.

Love your practical and clear cut teaching. My wood shop teacher could have learned a lot from you back in the day.
