A great show and thank you for your tips. Some I have used for years but the idea of the gluing and ironing the veneer on is genius. I like it. I also think finding the center of the arbor is a slick trick. in essence you help us find Top Dead Center of the blade. When you laser engrave the line into the insert, make sure you film that too. ;-) 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great information....I always try to keep an open mind in watching instructional videos!

Brilliant tips. Thanks so much. My biggest problem is storage of jigs. My workshop is tiny, so much so that I spill out onto the drive of the house when I actually need to do any work. The biscuit joiner as a spline cutter idea is fantastic.

What you said at the end has been something I’ve been telling myself for a long time. I’ve seen guys with a basement full of nothing but old craftsman tool and build some of the most incredible stuff. Fancy tools don’t make you good, the tips gives new things to practice. Thank you for sharing, especially finding center on the insert, I’ve been struggling with this one.

Your 5 tips were great Kenny ….. but I think the most important one was tip 6. Your summary at the end of the video hit the nail on the head! I have tried to explain that to many wood workers and turners, and some of them just don’t get it 🤠🇨🇱

Some great tips there, much appreciated from the other side of the pond

Thanks, Kenny, for the great tips, especially the one about the jointer. See you have great taste, same jointer as me 🤣

[williambuckley]

Hi Kenny. I think these tips are really good and it is good of you to share them with us. Your consistency with your shows is great and the variety is fantastic. I have learned a great deal from you.

[IBCNUBYNBY]

Great tips as usual Kenny and some good old fashioned (but no less important) philosophy thrown in for good measure. Thanks for sharing.

Practice is always the answer. I sometimes forget the question.

Just great... as a worker of wood, I took the oath long ago, to always shave with my chisels. I think this may be the time to swear you into woodworking adulthood. Sure, it can hurt a bit... maybe a little blood... the loss of a limb or two, but it's ok Kenny. Put on your goggles and ear protection, give that mirror a good cleaning, dive in with your sharpest chisel, and sing along with that ole theme song... I am stuck on Band aid... cause Band aid stuck on me!
Excellent "tips & tricks"! Thanks Kenny!

Tip number two at about 4 minutes. You answered a question that I could not figure out that I had watched my father do many many times but I didn't realize there was a key step that I was leaving out.
He used a lot of white glue some yellow glue back then we're talking about over 40 years ago. He also used an iron that look very similar to the one that you showed pictured. what I did not realize the glue was dry. Next week I am going to try some sample pieces and see if it really works Heat at one point did a lot of intricate work where he would Mark out the pieces he cut on the wood that he was going to work on like plywood for the backer of the veneer so he only put down the glue in the area he wanted to work on at that moment time did not realize the purpose of it doing that way was to keep the squeeze out from occurring because once it's dry it doesn't squeeze out.
Again thank you for filling in the missing blanks.

This is the first of your videos I have seen and I am hooked. Do you have links to the first 8 tips and tricks? It sure would save some time because I was looking and you have been very busy. I see you have a ton of videos that I am very interested in.

[dennishall]

It may be an oldie Ken... but those were the best... and yes... I invented dirt. Can you imagine the earth without dirt?!?!

[aaronblackford]

Adding two different things together, if you already have a 3d printer, you can print a laminate edge trimmer with your laminate glue trick. At least in my case, I already have the cheapest printer I could find at the time, Bambu mini, with free file to print, 3 bucks of hardware and maybe 2 bucks of plastic, and I am sure I am going twice the price on all, you have a laminate of any sort trimmer. Yeah, for wood or plastics such as kitchen counter top laminates.

[floydolden]

Good tips. Is the iron on dry or steam, and how hot ? 🤔

[nperson]

Some good tips. However, I don't think very many woodworkers have a biscuit jointer. These devices were popular 25 years ago but new techniques for jointing wood have made them obsolete.

[keithrayeski]

Just out of curiosity….why not Kenny Earrings anymore?🤷🏻‍♂️😎

[dougprentice]

There is always the metric vs imperial debate.... I use inches. But not crazy fractions. Use decimal inches.

Excellent video. Especially your comments at the end.
