Lubricating woodworking tools can be a botheration. Oil and grease mix with fine sawdust to create a pernicious goo that sticks to everything and does little to lubricate. So instead of traditional lubricants, you must rely on “dry” lubes such designed to reduce friction in dusty environments. Nick reveals what lubricants to use and where to use them.

Want to keep a board straight and flat without having to glue or attach it to a larger assembly? The solution is simply to rip the board in two and glue it back together. Of course, you have to carefully rearrange the ripped parts so their tendencies to warp or cup will be perfectly opposed to one another – Nick demonstrates just how to do this. This procedure also lets you reclaim badly warped lumber that would otherwise be unusable.

Nick also shows several useful jigs and fixtures in this short video. If you’re interested in knowing more about them, here’s where you can see the videos and where you can purchase the plans:
