During the processing of wood, many not very experienced craftsmen and owners have various difficulties associated with this or that issue. Like any other business, the carpentry craft has a huge number of secrets and subtleties. Therefore, now we will talk about tips that are often given by real masters to beginners.
1. Putty for materials
Choosing a putty to match the color of the tree is perhaps extremely difficult. In order not to play the "guessing game", it is best to cook it yourself. To do this, collect sawdust when cutting materials. Putty is prepared from sawdust by adding PVA glue, gradual mixing and bringing to the state of "gruel".
2. Avoid chipping on plywood
This problem appears in the vast majority of cases when working with the mentioned material. At the same time, it is absolutely not important which tools were used. In order to avoid chips, masking tape should be glued to the cutting site. It will protect the material. Of course, you will still need to make markings on the tape.
3. Unscrew the screw with smooth edges
Hardware is "licked" most often when the tool is used incorrectly or when goods are made of low-quality materials. In most situations, unscrewing such a self-tapping screw is not at all as difficult as it might seem at first glance. Often it is enough just to put a piece of rubber between the hardware and the screwdriver (screwdriver).
4. Drive a nail into a thin rail
To prevent the thin rail from cracking while hammering a nail into it, it will be enough to slightly blunt the used nail with a hammer. Now he will push the fibers of the tree apart, not tear them. You can also try pre-drilling a hole with a smaller diameter.
5. Sand plywood evenly
In order to grind the plywood cut as smoothly as possible, you should prepare the simplest device. Grinding material is wound onto a small rail (20x20x100 mm). All unnecessary and unnecessary is removed with a mounting knife. After that, the improvised tool is screwed to a flat wooden surface with a self-tapping screw. When this is done, the side surface of the plywood rests against the structure and is sanded exactly along the cut.
6. Facilitation of screwing in a self-tapping screw
It is best to drill a hole in advance. However, if this is not possible, then another method should be used, namely, lubrication. It is best to treat the hardware with silicone. In its liquid state, it is an excellent lubricant and can greatly facilitate entry into hardwoods.

7. Carefully remove the glue
When joining two wood pieces together, excess glue is often formed. In order to remove them as accurately as possible, it is recommended to use a regular plastic tube. The end of the tube should be bent so that it fits snugly against the perpendicular surfaces of the connected wooden parts. Several movements along the joint and you're done
