Now, I haven’t seen many woodworking tricks in my day, but this one is pretty cool.  Mainly for me because, I learned something.  I never knew you could shape a piece of wood like that.

The woodworker in this video boils one end of a piece of wood after making a few cuts on his table saw; then, he puts the boiled end of the piece of wood into a wood clamp for two days to mash it down.  I’m sure he had to continue to adjust the pressure on the wood piece during those two days.

Woodworking Trick – How’d You Get That Nail In There?

Wow, after two days he has a mashed end on the piece of wood.  And of course, then he drills the hole and does the nail thing, but again, what blows me away is that he puts the mashed end of the piece of wood back into the boiling pot, and it magically or scientifically reverts back to it’s original shape.  Who knew this was even possible?

That’s one thing about woodworking, you can spend your whole lifetime doing it, and still, there’s always something new you can learn.  If you ever get the chance, you should try and get together with other woodworkers from time to time, especially those that have more experience than you.  It is amazing what you can learn from those old timers.
