    When teaching my kids how to hammer in nails, rather than me holding the nail and praying, I would hold the nail with pliers and saved my fingers.

    One tip I picked up from a video many years ago: when you buy sandpaper for an orbital sander, take a permanent marker and write the grit number on the back of it. Yes, it's already printed on it, but that print is gone after ten seconds of use. The marker ink soaks deep into the paper and never wears off.

    In 1972, I started my apprenticeship as a millwright. Within the first hour in the shop, I witnessed a 35-year-old machinist lose an eye due to a red-hot metal chip that slipped in from the side of his glasses. My employer had new safety glasses with side shields provided for all employees within the week. That day, I learned the importance of side shields on safety glasses.<br>Play safe from Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.

    I&apos;m a very fussy DIYer. I remember watching the planter box video where you talked about how it was a bit fussy and thinking, &quot;This is why I like Scott&apos;s content so much. I would absolutely chamfer a peg.&quot;

    This one carpenter I used to work with was next level talent. Once the footings were set, he could make a 12&apos; x 24&apos; deck, with railing and two sets of short stairs in 7.5 hours. He&apos;d have the most material left over than any other carpenter on the job. We called him &quot;Crazy Joe&quot; because he was always talking to himself. He was also a small, scrawny man, but he was strong... and crazy.

    From a 59yr old woman whose just spent 12 years slowly renovating my whole house, learning everything on YouTube doing the kitchen 2 x bathrooms etc. I’d love to see MORE DETAIL on tip 2. I’m also dyslexic so angles really stuff me up.

Aegis plays a clean stream instead of YouTube's player, so pre-roll ads, trackers, and fingerprinting never ride along. Drop Shields any time if you want the official player back.
