I always have made a point of ignoring the clickbait on the internet that says "make your wood longer and thicker" but I'm glad I clicked on this one

[TracksWithDax]

Dang James, that rotated angled piece-trick for end grain is genius!!

[MrBonners]

I don't run into this problem any more, not since I got a couple of those new rubber tape measures.

Aside frome from being an awesome woodworking channel, i luv that you promote and avertise products that are relevant to the channel. I actually watch them.

[wiseoldfool]

Very useful techniques, especially when trying to use up "scrap" wood.

[BobHerres]

Unbelievable, while the stretcher was a very worthy watch, the Thickener knocked it out of the park! Wow! However Stumpy Nubs is known for Home Runs! I'm always impressed! Thank you for sharing !!

[edcomeau]

These jig videos the past few weeks have been my absolute favorites. Thank you so much

[checkshirtjoinery]

This is absolute genius! Thickening a board end looked great I can't believe I've never seen this done before and I bet I missed it in other people's work it's so good.

Thanks James! This is awesome advice and, as always, it’s presented with crystal clear step by step easily reproducible video instruction. I tend to get frustrated when my stock is just barely under for the project, and that frustration leads to panicky searches for a suitable replacement. With this knowledge, I will be able to keep my head and seek a solution with a clear head and measured actions. Priceless.
As always Stump, Thanks!

I love that board stretcher. When I was in retail we sent newbies to the back to get the shelf stretchers. Lol

The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

This is like that Hershey's chocolate bar illusion where you cut a diagonal line through the bar, take a piece out and then re-arrange it to make it look like you never took a piece out in the first place.

These tricks are so smart! I have found it surprising how many woodworking skills are in many ways similar to sewing skills. That scarf joint is very similar to the process of creating bias tape.

I heard about the board stretching a few years ago but never tried it and never seen it before. Very interesting to see it work. 👍

[FallLineJP]

This is the only channel I would trust to click a link with that title 🤣👏

[calanon]

Man alive, I don't even DO woodworking.. and every bit of this fascinates me. Thank you once again, Stumpy.

[MixingGBP]

Mind blown on the increasing the thickness! Nice!

[nickprice]

Now that’s some woodworking wisdom worth holding onto. Thank you for sharing that with us. Happy woodworking my friend
