    Toothpicks for small holes and golf tees for bigger holes. And for stripped holes in metal, I use copper wire.

    I find that it's easier to carry panels by myself, it's not always easy to tell someone who wants to help, that they need to carry on the same side as you.

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaBYuLL6KS8&amp;t=721">12:01</a> I love this trick. I鈥檓 a plasterer and saw one of my carpenter/builder doing some trim carpentry for me and saw him do this, and I was like wtf are you doing, when he showed me, I was like Jesus Christ, that is ingenious, so damn simple, and I never ever thought of that

    As a wooden boat builder, I liked seeing the tick stick trick. &nbsp;I use this constantly. &nbsp;Another good trick is to make a tick stick by using a brass plate and cut it into your desired shape, and add a small little handle or knob on top to hold onto. &nbsp;You can&apos;t make a plank for a boat without one.
