khariV Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I came across this video today in my wanderings. I'm a nub, so it's not surprising that I've never heard of doing something like this before, but for the sake of sharing, I figured I'd throw it up here and see if anyone else finds it interesting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewie17 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I think I would still prefer the counter sink and dowel method. if the chiselled piece isn't exactly squared or chips out and you "lose a piece" as he said then what do you do with a finished board that cant be fixed because the chisel snapped the piece? it is neat however the dowel method leaves a more appealing (to me) finish. maybe im crazy? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyMcGrath Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Wow. Pretty neat. I'm not sure I'm sold 100% for stain grade projects, but it's a great idea in theory. Not sure how it would work with harder woods like oak or maple. He was using yellow pine which is soft and easier to manipulate. I may have to toy with a few scraps. Could be used to play some tricks on someone. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dowel all the way. I am also with Ricky, how many pine projects are you concerned about hiding a screw. I think any harder of a wood and it will not be possible. That being said I will still file this tip away in my Trick bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordraw Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Never thought of doing that. Seems easier to just use a forstner bit and make a small hole and fill it with a dowel and cut and sand. But that is a cool idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 kdv that's a cool little trick. I've never thought to do that but clearly an interesting take on a traditional project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwoodrocket Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Could get tedious if you're doing several screws like that. Cool idea though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Neat idea, I would still go with the traditional method. This is the kind of information that comes in handy when you are in a pinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjbutler1 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Different method but probably will stick to the old way!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuutr Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Very interesting. Never would have thought of that on my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bothuhead19 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Something out of the norm but pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadlanthier Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Alright trick, but I think I would rather see a small dowel. Just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradboulanger Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Neat trick, I have never seen that one before. Seems like the traditional dowel method would be more consistent and less prone to errorSent from my SGH-T999L using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
