228 - Fixing Common Woodworking Mistakes







Whether or not we wish to admit it or not, errors will occur. Figuring out tips on how to restore them might make the distinction between a nerve-wracking construct and a relaxed one. So on this demo (recorded stay), I’ll present you a number of the commonest errors and errors I encounter and the varied methods I like to repair them.


What You’ll Want


CA Glue – Cyanoacrylate is a fast-drying adhesive that makes it straightforward to re-connect small bits of wood. Used with a fast-set activator, it’s an extremely ally within the battle of repairs.
Wooden Filler – Whereas many people poo poo wood filler, there are just a few flaws that decision for the stuff. Getting the suitable colour is the important thing and understanding a couple of tips to offer the appearnce of actual wood can also be an enormous assist. The stuff I like to make use of is Timbermate Wooden Filler.
Garments Iron – Typically the most effective answer is slightly warmth and moisture. A family iron will assist us steam out dents and scratches.


Repairing Tearout With Filler


fixing-with-fillerIn some instances, a gnarly little bit of tearout is greatest repaired with filler. A superb high quality filler that gained’t shrink and accepts stain will provide you with one of the best probability of a very good match. Since fillers are sometimes coloured to match the first background colour of the wood, it may well typically assist to make use of a coloured pencil to attract within the lacking wood grain. Although I solely resort to that for giant/apparent repairs the place the lacking grain can be an eyesore.


Misplaced Mortise


fixing-mortiseA mortise is nothing greater than an enormous gap, so filling it with wood is often one of the best and most dependable repair. You"ll want to orient the grain in order that the restore is according to the grain of the workpiece. This offers the perfect visible match and in lots of instances makes the restore all however invisible. Reduce the restore piece a bit of bit longer than the dimensions of the opening and use sandpaper to create a slight taper at every finish. This ensures a pleasant tight match at every finish the place the restore is more likely to be most seen.


Repairing Chipout with Recovered Piece


chipout-recoveredFrom time to time, fortune smiles upon you and a chipped out piece of wood is recovered. This can be a good factor because the piece will almost definitely nest proper again into place with none seen gaps. So all that you must do is use a bit CA glue and re-connect the piece. As soon as the glue cures, sand the world completely and you must have an almost flawless repair.


Repairing Chipout with a Patch


patching-chipoutWhen you possibly can’t discover the chipped out piece (or it has been disintegrated by the Woodworking Gods) and also you don’t need to use filler, a patch is usually probably the most applicable plan of action. Since chipout/tearout isn"t a reasonably sight, you’ll have to work the affected space with a plan or chisel to create a flat space for the restore. That is one case the place you truly have to make the flaw greater for the higher good. As soon as a pleasant flat space is established, merely glue in a small scrap of wood utilizing CA glue. Plane, noticed, scrape, or chisel away the surplus inventory and sand clean.


Steaming Dents & Scratches


steaming-dentsBlunt drive trauma is a standard prevalence within the wood store. Whether or not you drop a workpiece on the ground or one thing drops onto the workpiece, you’ll typically be confronted with dents which are too deep to only sand away. Thankfully, dents are nothing greater than aggressively compressed fibers. Since wood fibers broaden with moisture, we will steam the dents utilizing a moist towel and a family garments iron. With a number of seconds of remedy, the wood fibers broaden to fill the dented areas. In fact it will solely work on shallow dents however it could nonetheless be used to reduce the influence of deeper dents. The identical concept applies to scratches in strong wood and plywood.

What Happened To ClearVue? Before we get into the assembly of an Oneida Dust Gorilla Pro cyclone dust collector, let’s address the elephant in the room: what happened to the ClearVue? Just like my table saw, I took the move to Colorado as an opportunity to try something new. One less tool to move and work around as I get the new shop together and one more chance to gain perspective on a different brand. In addition, Oneida offers stands for their cyclones and that’s a feature I wanted in the new shop. So after a few pleasant phone calls with the folks at Oneida, we are now working with them directly on the dust collection solution for the new TWW shop. And just to clear the air, I have nothing negative to say about Clear Vue. Their cyclone served me well for over a decade and I am lucky to have gotten to know the kind folks that run the company. But now I also feel lucky to know some of the great people behind Oneida! Enter Oneida! My sales...

Once I returned home from Santa Rosa, I set out to create a simple sitting bench that would incorporate this carving technique.
