How to Remove Glue From Wood Without Damaging the Wood
One of the biggest problems with doing edge-glued panels is glue cleanup. Some people wipe the wet glue off with a damp rag. That works, but can push the glue into the wood's pores, causing finishing problems. Others wait until the glue dries and scrape it off. That's usually harder to do; but eliminates the finishing problem. I've come up with a better way to remove that dried-on glue. Check out this video to see my new Ergonomic Glue Remover tool. You can find this tool on our website at: https://www.sawinery.net/products/ergonomic-glue-remover?utm_source=skool

Great idea, well thought out, saves digging in. Your tool will be excellent on flush trimming a decorative edge to a laminate surface like a kitchen counter top. No chance of digging in and spoiling the job. I like the magnetic approach to holding the blade.

@Rich Murphy Looking forward to your results.

@Jimmy Webb I'm with you. Hearing protection today is a lot better than years ago. Also the noise produced by the modern circular cutter blocks opposed to the old square blocks is significantly quieter. In reality no one should suffer hearing damage today as we have in the past.

@Gilbert Maiden Thumbs up because you've realised. Ignore, ignore, ignore.
To Pocket Hole... or Not?
I know there are lots of people out there who love pocket holes; but I'm not one of them. Oh, they're useful and I use them when I feel they are appropriate. But that's not the same as people who use them for everything. Like any other method of joinery, there are times when pocket holes are appropriate and other times when they aren't. In this video, I show some places where pocket holes really aren't the best choice available to us.

I agree with you Rich, great video. I don't own a pocket hole jig. I've only used one at someone else's workshop. My conclusion is they are very quick, they can be accurate if you allow offsets on your joint to allow for movement when tightening. Great for unseen fixed framework and panel work like you have demonstrated. A good time saver for production runs using low skilled labour to save machining joints. They are strong enough in the right place and great for beginners who can achieve their goal quickly.
