I enjoyed this new kind of “tutorial” video. It’s very helpful to someone who is thinking about starting to do some woodworking.
Yeah it saves hours of trial and error
This was an excellent video. And the time you took was quite obvious... lots of attention to details. Thank you!
These kind are great. A bit of work for a short video, but informative. Thank you and hope to see some like this from time to time.
Love this type of video from you , you have so much experience, anything you do will help others !
Love this in-depth comparison! Helped me save so much time trying to figure out what plug method would work best for my project. Thank you!
CZcams: When you want to find a way to fill plastic holes, but then the video on filling wood holes is much more exciting. This was wonderful, you are great on camera and have a nice way to be informative and yet, entertaining. I will definitely be coming back to this video for my next project! More please!
Thank you
Thanks for taking the time to show all plugs and fills with stain and finish. Sometimes what you think is a good repair turns out to be horrible. Well done!
I love these kinds of videos! Even if they are just included in the middle of a build video of some kind. Thanks!
Videos like this are what make me think youtube still isn’t that bad of a platform. Seems like nearly every time I need to know how to do something theres a video for it. Thank you for your contribution to the information cluster that is CZcams!
I admired that you used your father's supplies and tools. Thank you for your video.
That was A nice change of pace I could definitely go for another episode like that.
Very straight forward and informative so even newbies like me can understand and learn!
Thank you so much for this video!
This is not just a tutorial, it is a university lesson. Excellent explanation, thank you.
Good showing of results. I think because cedar is so soft it might be one of the harder woods to hide a repair on. A good tapered face grain plug in a hole with a good edge is probably the closest you can get. I did enjoy seeing the other techniques like laquer sticks.
I love the video. I like how you showed us all the different affects. Thanks so much. From california
I do like the tips! It's nice to learn from other wood workers on stuff like this!
Thank you for the excellent tips and the plus/minus comparisons. Very helpful!
Thanks 🙏🏼 for the video! So much good info , love your dad’s tools by the way
What a fantastic video. Thank you for spending the time to make it.
Very helpful, Alain! I don't do much finishing per se, but when I do I try to use material from the actual damaged area, mixed with clear epoxy or CA-glue. As you pointed out, its difficult to get a perfect match but, for me, close enough is good enough. Thanks much!!
Great vid, taught me exactly what I needed. Thank you Alain
Thanks for the informative video. Please continue these types of videos.
Great tips Alain, Thanks for sharing.
Very cool tipps, I like it a lot. Especially all the tipps in here, thank you!
I fixed a bad dent on my dining table with a helthy knot that I drilled of a board with a plug drill. It actully looks like a real knot on the table. The table is made from pine. Thank you for the reminder of the dent fix with water and ironing it. Had forgotten it.
Ingenious solution. But on a mahogany table top they're no knot, but to fix pine this is great thanks.
Thank you! The steaming trick was great.....and completely new to me!
I love tips videos and you always have cool methods. I have a lacquer stick and never knew what it was. I acquired it with some old tools from a yard sale. It's white so I'm sure dying it to match wood will be very easy to use on a variety of different types of woods. Thank you so much for your time. The time and dedication you put into your projects and videos are so inspiring. Thank you. I'd love to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve.
"this may not show but I worked over 10 hours to produce this video"
LOVE YOUR SYSTEMATICALLY DONE VIDEO. You left no room for questions. So thorough!
Keep doing this!!!
Very interesting Alain. I have used many of your tips and "fixes" on my projects.
Thanks for the video and the insights into wood repair. I enjoy these types of videos. Happy New Year.
This was a great video! Thank you for sharing.
Another great video Alain!
I enjoyed this video, sometimes seeing what not to do is equally as important!
I made a few "mistake" holes in some wood and was looking for some options on how to fill them. This definitely gave me some good ideas for what to do! Thanks for making this video so clear and easy to understand, with many different side-by-side examples. Plus, your way of talking and accent is quite charming and fun. Good work, thanks Alain!
I like them, I would love to see some with the thought process behind using different joints/joinery methods.
I enjoy ALL of your videos, this one is no exception. :) Cheers from quebec!
Great Info Alain. A few there that I was not aware of. Big Thanks
Nice video by a genuine presenter. Merci!
Very practical demonstrations - thank you!
Ive got 10 years in but always learning more. Thanks for the video!
I admire your videos :) Years ago, when you were still in your basement workshop, I first discovered your videos, and my late mother loved them too :) Whenever I watch your videos I think of her and I get warmth in my heart. Thank you for all of your videos and stay amazing.
Dear Alain,
Ten hours for our benefit; it's much appreciated I am sure. The moral of the story if I may put it this way is: Get it right first time or don't make a pig's ear to begin with or words to that effect. You could equally have spent this time making a new project with mistakes ( intentional or otherwise) included with said remedial options, in which case you would have shot two birds with the same stone. All in all a very noble endeavour on your part. Kind regards.
Thank you. And yes the moral of this episode is: don't mess up, you might regret it. Miracles are in Vatican city not in our workshop. But I showed some ways to get around and hopefully it's not in a too much visible spot.

Dear Alain,
Thank you very much for your courteous reply. I am sure you could educate some of us during the making of one of your projects as you go along; you've done it to some degree in the past, I am sure you could carry as you normally do. It's always with fascination & informative to watch whatever you get up to. Kind Regards.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Very informative video - thank you Alain!
Thanks Alain. I learnt something new from this video. Happy New Year....cheers!
Thankyou for this fantastic video.
Seems like the only solution is to place screws between the grain and plug with the same material.
That's what I needed to know and that's what I'll do.
It's not easy plugging a hole, like I showed, I'm glad I was a little help
Excellent video, very informative and helpful, great job, congratulations.
An excellent and informative video. Most useful. Thanks for going to all the trouble to test out the various ways of filling holes in wood.
You're welcome
This is exactly what I wanted to see. Thx
This was incredibly informative and helpful. Thanks!
Hi Alain. I follow you from Italy, I do not know much English but as you explain, more or less I understand, I like your videos, this in particular, you learn more with these tips and techniques than with other types of video. I hope you do others. In order not to rush, I used google translate. Hello
I don't know if you speak French but Alain has a French version of every videos.
@@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker I know that you make videos in both English and French (maybe you could do them in Italian, HA HA). Unfortunately I speak only Italian and not very English, but it is not a problem, what you do and how you explain it, you understand very well. I repeat that video like this is very nice, I hope you do others like that. Hello
This is fantastic, thank you so much for your advice
Love this type of video!!!!!! Please more tips and tricks.
This was a big help to me. Thank you.
Thanks for this video! Lots of knowledge.
well… I liked this video :-) I watch to learn something, and monsieur, I learn from your videos :-) so keep them coming ;-) and merci
I really liked this type of video thank you!
Great examples. 👍 thank you for the content.
We always learn from you. Thanks
Great. Expertise and humility
Incredible. Thank you!
Brill video. Thank you so much for all the detailed information
Great job! Thank you for sharing.
Wow. Thank you so much. Trying to repair excessive tacks holes in wood chair before upholstering.
I will have an upcoming episode fixing chairs :))) And you're confirming what I say at the beginning:
If you're a woodworker you'll have 2 things that you won't be able to avoid in your life; paying your taxes and fixing chairs
Super. Merci, Alain!
Thank you! Despite 40 years working with wood I'd never come across the trick for steaming out dents -- oh, the sanding I could've avoided had I but known!
You dont even have to steam. I just drip water on it, go sand something else and come back. Sometimes you have to do it twice but each time it swells the wood fibers up more and then a quick sand makes it practically disappear.
Very nice videos, tips of the trade make great content! Thanks
Really helpful tips. Thank you!
Pretty cool! Thanks for the video. I like your dad's tools. Never seen that b4 I am not a wood worker. Wish kids today learned that stuff.
Thank you, My dad had a lot of old tools and since he only restored antique, different tools than I use to see.
These days school are so afraid of injuries that they rather not teaching anything to kids except reading and writing, this is good if all the kids were to be layers...
Great video Alain!
Super Alain, J'ai bien aimé tes informations utiles , merci . 'Mark de Laval-Ouest.
I really appreciate your video and time.
I think ceder is difficult compared to other denser and darker woods to do small "fix" on. Find plugs to be best option.
Great video as always.
Thank you for this. Very helpful.
Your video was great, as always!
Thank you. Fantastic insight.
This is very informative and the validation process is scientific. Excellence. Thank you.
thank you
Great info, Thank you!
Well done. Great advice 👍
Merci Alain!
Thanks for the video. Gotta fill some holes myself.
Enjoyed this!
Thanks for many ideas
Great video! Thanks for the tips
Love this video!! Great job!
Very good and truthful thank you for the alternate not matching looks better 👍
Great video! Thank you
Excellent video the most honest well put together video
Helpful! Thank you!
Great video!
It was a fantastic test. I only use wood dust and glue for smaller repairs if the piece is not stained. The big holes I extend with a router bit into squares and then plug them.
Yes using wood plug was the best result, but still, no miracle
I really enjoyed this video!
Fantastic. Thank you very much!
Good information, I enjoyed it
Really good info, please do more
