Woodworking Tip VideosTime for another quick tip, get out the salsa and guacamole and let’s talk about grain direction. Sometimes it just isn’t clear when you look at the board. I say don’t worry about it and use your fingers instead.

Of course there will always be boards that won’t cooperate and even this tip won’t help, but I think with 90% of the wood we work, your fingers will point you in the right direction.

This Week’s Winner

Great tip! I’m using paper towels though – I fear for my sensitive little girl fingers 🙂

    Will you use the pretty paper towels with pictures of duckies and bunnies on them too?

I tried to play the video in Explorer and Google and both browsers come with no voice. Sound starts OK, with music, after the title and the music slowly fades, no voice over comes in. Any comments o r suggestions?

    Unfortunately in this video my voiceover audio did not render in stereo so it is left channel only. Perhaps your system does not have a left channel?
