My wife just asked me what i was watching. I told her "a upload that shows how to make worn out holes tight again". I have a blue eye now...
🤣😂🤣
I said the same to my husband, now he’s lined us up a bunch of date nights. 🤣
Well I have blue eyes too, but they're not black and blue. LMAO
Might work well on Trumps bottom, after jail starts.😉
As an electrician, this sometimes happens when drilling into concrete, our quick fix is usually some 14 gauge wire. Preferably stranded
This is so true
Yes!
Also, HELLO SPARK-BRETHERIN
I was going to say this, the bare earth copper core from 3 core wire works good 👍
another great sparky fix for this is a cable tie offcut, works great.
that is a good one!
I do maintenance for apartments. I’ve used most of the items that where mentioned in this video. I’ve never thought of using a pencil. Thanks for sharing.
All these are great ideas,my father taught me when I worked as a kid in his wood shop in the summers,I never forgot these lessons he taught me.
I have always used wood glue and golf tees for entry door hinges, then a centering drill bit for the pilot hole. This repair has never failed me. Smaller hinges that do not get the abuse, tooth pics and wood glue. These items have been in my toolbox for decades. Metal doors and frames I use threaded inserts. Drill bit stop sleeves are inexpensive at Harbor Freight. Former apartment maintenance tech here. Great tips.
I usually use a toothpick or wooden skewer and glue most of the time.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Repent and pray to the door stop jesus! - USE the power of the golf tee GODS!!!!!!!!! amen.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ now how is that going to fix a stripped hole. You bible slingers think god and Jesus is the answer for everything
I use pages from the Bible, I read it kept even some nails in place around half way thru the book. :P
Another item I’ve used is the balsa wood coffee stir sticks from the coffee shop. They’ve come in handy for filling holes and cleaning tight spots.
you cant be doing that my guy , think of the tReeeeeeeeeees
If you're an electrician, wire scraps work BEAUTIFULLY
Not just informative but really well made and efficient guides, with a sense of humor. Great job.
Golf Tees are great!!!
Another quick fix is super glue and baking soda! Fill the hole with baking soda and then add a few drops of super glue, wait about 5 seconds and you have a plug that is as hard as a rock and is permanently affixed to the wood fibers!
Great idea!!
@@LRN2DIY Thanks!
this works great for repairing a guitar nut.
You havent tryed that have you you have seen it. It won't work aswell as glueing wood into the hole. Gluei
nice!
I'm outta elbow grease. Where can I buy some?
I need to find a left handed hammer
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another option - use the cut ends off of zip ties works well for adding some additional grabbing power, especially with brick or mortar when trying to add an anchor.
These are great suggestions and explanations. Thanks.
One thing to consider, especially on things for which the hole placement is important, like hinges, is filling the hole in a way that keeps the in its place. When filling with something like a toothpick, this can be a problem. Three toothpicks works, if they are arranged in a way that forms a triangle with the hole in the center.
Yeah man, like the other guy said, repent to Jesus Christ!
@@mattpatt😂
Great tips. I figured out the toothpick solution when I was 17 and stripped the strap mount from my guitar. I use a toothpick and some basic Elmer's school glue and it lasted for about 15 years. (It's a 92 BC Rich Warlock and it's a bit weighty and I like to lean on my guitar.)
These fixes are so simple, they are actually ingenious. Thank you for this video
Excellent, straight to the point
Great tips! Thanks.
Especially in the case of interior door hinges, I've often used those cheap plastic wall anchors that come in the freebie cellophane packs. Cut to length, hammer the little sucker in, and you're done. (The cleats on the side work great to hold it secure.)
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ its the politicians you need to preach too . They should be condemned to eternal damnation for what they're doing to everyday people.
Excellent! Very clear and well paced.
I just removed a bedroom door and this is exactly what I needed! Thank you. 😁
I've had great results using plastic drinking straws also. Small "cocktail/coffee stir straws) for small holes, standard straws for larger. You can cut a small straw "tube", then spilt it longways, for holes in between sizes. it contracts to fit all holes. It creates a great spacer and provides auto centering. A tiny piece of window screen does it perfectly too. Great tips and video as always !
😮😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊
Toenail clippers that are sold in pet shops are really good for sectioning things like dowel or chopsticks. If the wooden plug is slightly too big then a squeeze or two with some pliers (rotate between each squeeze to keep it round) will compress it enough to fit snugly
I've always been a toothpick and wood glue guy
Outstanding video! Thanks!
Beautiful, professionally done video
thanks a lot. unpretentious, simple solutions to sadly common issues... keep up the great work!
Very simple Practical and effective ideas . 👍
clever solutions, thank you
Great info, I can really use this. Thank You.
I've been a carpenter for 33 years and I've used a variation of these hacks. I usually whittle a piece to fit and use a little wood glue.
Rw plugs raw plugs!
Good man. Please keep sharing!
Solved a problem for me. Thank you.
these ideas are genius! Thank you so much for posting this video. I know I will be using many of these ideas in the future.
Thank you the toothpick tip!! I used this video to fix my closet door hinge and the toothpicks worked like a charm!
Great ideas! Thank you!
The grooves are in the dowel to prevent the wood from splitting when the glue is applied to them and driven into the holes. It gives the glue somewhere to go and prevents the wood from splitting. "No two objects can occupy the same space at the same time."
Wow! Very informative! Thanks
Great tips thanks.
Subscription earned. Well done
Excellent insight, good sir
Great vid!!! I'll keep this in mind next time this happens
Smart solutions/options.
Good video. Just for accuracy though, the reeding on the side of the dowel is not to keep it from slipping. If you're drilling a 1/4" hole, putting in glue and driving a 1/4" unreeded dowel into the hole you can create a hydraulic problem that may damage your project. The vertical grooves allow both trapped air and glue to travel upwards as the dowel is hammered in.
Correct. The hydraulic force can make the unfluted dowel rise up from the hole after you stop hammering it home too.
@@vamboroolz1612 ...or cause a split in the wood.
great info. thank you!
Great video. Thanks for making it.
Great tips, cocktail sticks is a winner as most households have them. Or if you've got any scrap wood lying about you can just shave bits off with a knife. For simple wall plugs (not massive weight) dry twigs or sticks can work too
very nice explanation !
Wow. Learn something new every day.
A Great and Concise Video, learned a lot from it. Thanks. Keep up the Good Work, we all need this useful Tips.
I learned so much from this video. Thank you so much.
The flutes in the dowel allow the glue escape from the bottom of the hole so the dowel seats all the way down.
Great tips…thanks!
Thanks for covering my nemesis of DIY !!!😋
I have used the toothpick trick many times. An old carpenter showed me that one. It works. Great video.
Thank you so much.
Excellent video 👌
Love your videos. Learn all kinds of tricks.
I have tried all shown in video, but found those wooden kabob skewers to be the best, as the screws will engage the fibers far better than toothpicks or cardboard ( matchsticks, if you have any of those anymore ) I always have a pack of skewers in the kitchen drawer, and split up the pack to go in my service totes in my service van
have you tried super glue and cotton?
I commented the same thing, before seeing your comment...
Awesome info!
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 great video, awesome commentary and thanks so much for all the examples 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️❤️❤️it!
I learned to use baking powder and either epoxy resin or, for the quick fix, superglue to repair minor „dings“ in aircraft propellers. Strong enough and light enough not to unbalance the prop.
propeller blades are balanced with lead wool- doesn't mean there is a definite amount of weight to them. if the repair is done near a reference point on the blade- it will be reject due to an inclusion. it can also be reject due to undersize measurement at the given reference point. a competent propeller airman will reject any propeller blade that has an inclusion ANYWHERE on its surface. all propeller manufacturers consider the blade reject with any type of inclusion- even aluminum. when the propeller gets overhauled- the blade grinder will remove thousanths from the entire surface and inspect the grains of the forged metal- so painting over the inclusion will not hide it during a proper yellow-tag overhaul procedure. if you are the one flying the aircraft- thats a risk you don't want to take. if you sell or trade the plane or propeller- it could come back to haunt you- i.e., not worth it.
Those were useful tips Nils, thanks!
Thanks, John!
Good Video, Very helpful. Thank You
Well done.
Terrific video very helpful tips and pointers to know. Definitely something that happens a lot lol. Great video thanks for sharing. I'll certainly remember those handy tips when I come across this problem.🙏😃
nice trick. Ill use it on my stripped handles in the kitchen cabinets
Awesome info! My dad showed me most of those tricks.
Brilliant!! 3 tooth picks fixed my annoying bathroom door. The wood had split and door was always loose. Now tight as a drum! Thanks
I've used a piece of electrical 3 core cable cut to length when nothing else was available . works a treat 😇
High quality nylon wall plugs. Work better than anything described here.
I saw another gentleman actually put like stranded wire like speaker wire or 16 gauge wire down in a hole as well and it helped
Toothpicks worked like a charm! So easy.
Been doing this for years with toothpicks and woodglue. Holds great.
I’m amazed!
I've been very fond of golf tees and a spot of glue
Toothpicks and wood glue has been my go to and it is very effective.
Thank you👏👏👏 very helpful Phil Uk
great information.
Thx you 🙏👍😀. It works!
I have come to rely on bamboo skewers as my go to hole filler they work well in shallow or deep holes, can buy a bag of 50 for $2.00 and they come in two thicknesses. 1/8th and 1/4". Add a little glue of any kind and your filling holes quickly. Home owners enjoy the easy tip and are impressed to how easy it is.
Using a rubber plug is also a great help!
This video just validated almost everything I've ever done lol
I like the golf tee idea with super glue
I usually use tooth picks and match sticks... they've always worked well. and in metal, speaker wire has been pretty good. I've even used it to hold an engine in my pos car once, just to get home, but it lasted the rest of the car's life.
POS..is best make & model.!
The most permanent repair is a temporary repair that works
Amazing!!!
amazing! The toothpicks worked, thank you!
Great vid!
Thanks!
I've been using matchsticks for years, I remember my dad doing it, my first diy tip .
LOVE the T nuts !
AWESOME TIPS THANKYOU,BEST WISHES TO YOU, FROM, AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND ✅✅✅✅✅👍👍👍👍👍
I've been hanging doors for 20 years and I was taught as an apprentice to use match sticks but I find that tooth picks are the best, the Spike makes it easier to hammer the last ones in to make them really tight.
I really hope people don't mean the paper matchsticks and are referring to wooden ones. I hope.
@@TangoNevada Well people are as thick as planks so they will probably use paper ones, however as long as the hole is tightly filled the paper ones would work as well.
Just found your channel. I can tell I will be watching lots of your videos... so helpful... THANKS! SUBSCRIBED!!!
That’s a great video good information
great tips! doors are notorious about needing to have adjustments due to constant use.
Been using toothpicks and matchsticks for this for ages. I think my grandpa showed me how to do this when I was a a kid. Works perfectly and easy to redo when it happens again years later.
Great information 👍👌🆒️
The dowels have ridges so glue can escape. Otherwise the glue would have a hydraulic effect and not allow the dowel to hit the bottom of the hole.
Golf tees can’t be beat
വളരെ നല്ല വിവരണം. നന്ദി.
How can you not know this, whilst beeing a craftsman .
A tiny amount of expandable glue like gorila glue, works wonders too.
