Woodworking Hacks and Shortcuts

You can also mark on the tape for measuring or numbering your pieces and then remove them without sanding.

The great thing about this hack is that if you use the sawdust from the project you are building then it will be a perfect match and then all you have to do is lightly sand.

Any kind of bar soap or an old candle will do for this trick.

This hack also works great for marking straight lines. You can  use a clamp to hold just where you want it as you are sawing your straight cut.

In this hack you would stretch the rubber band across the head of the screw helping your bit grab the head and get it out.

Clamps are very helpful for any project you are doing, but sometimes you need small clamps to help hold things.  Clothes pins and paper clips are just the thing.

Drill a hole that is smaller than the screw you are using to make sure the wood does not split.

Small screws and nails are often hard to see so a magnet makes it lot easier to locate.

This hack makes it a lot easier on your hands not having to hold small pieces.

Glue is an important part of woodworking but can be very messy.  This hack will make clean up alot eaier.
