Wood shop was my favorite class in high school by far. The teacher was a Vietnam vet and just let us fuck around and make whatever we wanted outside of the two or three âprojectsâ we had. The class was a mix of every background and we were all chill with each other for that one hour. I almost lost my finger trying to make a pipe even though I didnât smoke, and the final exam was a group test lol. Iâve always wanted my own wood shop to fuck around with some day
That means youâve earned the right to laugh a little harder at this, few things feel as real as watching your own past struggles play out in someone elseâs project.
This wouldn't work here since there isn't enough material on the free piece to fill in the notch. You'd end up with an empty triangle on the top right of the screen. Follow the line on the right side as it slides in and you can see it.
Yes that would be the right way. I'm saying this mortise notch is too big so there's no way to cut the second board that will fill it correctly. There will always be an empty triangle in the corner even if they use the correct procedure.
I was considering the lines, thinking they weren't perfect and might mess things up, then was surprised at the seamless cut to the pieces already having been cut and being removed, and was still thinking about that when I realized the whole thing was jacked up and I had to play it back in my mind to figure out what happened.
Though, to be precise I think with the original notch might be too close to the inside edge of the corner to be able to cut the second board to fill the notch entirely and maintain the 90 degree corner.
Are we just going to ignore the smooth as silk transition between marking the wood and pulling away the cut pieces to reveal the join. This deserves an award for the editing alone.
This reminds me of the time my sister and I were cooking gravy from scratch using cornflour. The way our mum made it cause that day mum was not well that day. Weâd never done it this way and it went lumpy and so we grabbed a colander to sieve the lumps so we tipped the gravy into the colander and I have no idea why but we forgot to put a bowl under the colinrer and we witnessed our hard work literally go down the drain. Wouldnât mind but we are both intelligent; our mum who has since passed away said â see you two have no common senseâ. Guilty as charged lol
Next time just lay the "keyhole" piece over top the "whole" piece with the top aligned to maintain the "V" shape.. trace the edge and remove everything on the right of the traced cut.

I have done this kind of wood working.
I did some wood notworking, wood-work.
Some wood notworking?
My doctor gave me done pills to fix that
As they say, your notwork is your notworth
Knot working wood
I would bow to anyone who can tie a tree in a knot
Same here!

I think I had woodshop with you...
They left out the slow sit down on a stool, followed by a long drawn out sigh and staring into the distance for a while.
That means youâve earned the right to laugh a little harder at this, few things feel as real as watching your own past struggles play out in someone elseâs project.
So youâve lived through the âwhy isnât this fittingâ saga, no wonder this clip hits with a special kind of pain and amusement.
As a fellow âmeasure once, improvise the restâ carpenter, this video feels a little too autobiographical.
Same dudeâŚpretty much on every new project. Always buy extra wood if you havenât done it before hahah
I do this only with really really hard woodâŚthat is grey and cold
Nice dove fail
Join't
That was before this
Miter not do it like that
I see what you did thereâŚ
Overlay the piece on the right and trace the cut out. Cut away the required marked piece and there you go
Never measure what you can mark.
Never mark what you can eye-ball
never eye-ball what you can blindly guess
never blindly guess what you can bullshit your way through
Never bullshit your way through when you can not and say you did
You can Never not and say you did when you canât and say you didnât
Why can't and say you didn't when being friendly in certain ways is a cardinal sin.
Instructions unclear cut my eye ball with a rotating saw
measure thrice cut nonce
This wouldn't work here since there isn't enough material on the free piece to fill in the notch. You'd end up with an empty triangle on the top right of the screen. Follow the line on the right side as it slides in and you can see it.
That's the point.
They cut 2 45s, when they needed to cut the 45, cut the mortise, and then trace the mortise on the uncut board to make the joint.
Yes that would be the right way. I'm saying this mortise notch is too big so there's no way to cut the second board that will fill it correctly. There will always be an empty triangle in the corner even if they use the correct procedure.
Whoopsie.
Filler and paint makes them the carpenter they ain't.

Needs to be a top comment so that we can get good furniture.
I can't bruh
Measure twice. Cut once on the wrong side.
I watched this and was like, âhell yeahâ and saved it. Then I was like, âwaitâ and unsaved it.
It didn't, not work!
What do you mean?
It worked?
It notched in the way it was supposed to
Right? We have no idea what the final product isđ¤Łmaybe itâs suppose to be not perfectly aligned
If it was, it isn't now. I have an eclectic frame.
Why does this bother me so much?
Nailed it. I mean he should have nailed it.
Those nails dude....
Whats wrong with the nails? They're real
They have long nails on one hand and trimmed nails on the other. The whole video is off kilter!
I was considering the lines, thinking they weren't perfect and might mess things up, then was surprised at the seamless cut to the pieces already having been cut and being removed, and was still thinking about that when I realized the whole thing was jacked up and I had to play it back in my mind to figure out what happened.
Then I started laughing.
Any carpenter here who knows the right way?
Don't leave me hanging like that. Now I need the real solution!

Non-sarcastic answer it would be something like this. https://imgur.com/a/kI9oaBu.
Though, to be precise I think with the original notch might be too close to the inside edge of the corner to be able to cut the second board to fill the notch entirely and maintain the 90 degree corner.
Cut the small triangle off the bottom and put it in the top and it's perfect
Thanks Bob the builder.
For fucks sake haha
RIP my OCD
And watching this makes you realize you watched garage content.
Failed successfully
It dose work you just have nore to cutt off mesure once cut twice
Looked correct tho XD, but yeah, it's really a matter of perception
It did work. It fit the notch just fine.
Expectation: 200-year-old Japanese joinery technique.
Reality: Two sad little boomerangs and a friendship-ending corner.
Close try again
r/DiWHY
I mean... understandabel, but it should have been obvious after drawing the lines that the edges do not match.
They elevate the rage and imbalance by having short nails on one hand and long nails on the other. This person is a menace!
totally expected
Are we just going to ignore the smooth as silk transition between marking the wood and pulling away the cut pieces to reveal the join. This deserves an award for the editing alone.
Infuriating all over
Me whenever I follow peoples' instructions to the dot.
This gave me anxiety
Facebook reels have led you astray
"another edition of chain saw carpentry "is my expression
What armature donât often account for is the thickness of the cutting blade
Close but no cigar

Also my real surname is Carpenter.
Next time just lay the "keyhole" piece over top the "whole" piece with the top aligned to maintain the "V" shape.. trace the edge and remove everything on the right of the traced cut.
I knew that wasn't gonna work, didn't imagine this bad
Haha!
This was satisfyingly unsatisfying
Because you took off the bottom point, that's why.
