Happy wife, happy life ;-)

Классная идея

Dowels tend to crumble when done this way. I’ve tried it several times.

Spot on

This is the repair any reasonably competent person would do, not the half assed "life hack" crap in this video.

Title says it was a surprise it didn't say why.

did they had super glue 40 years ago????

@@DMNL2 - "They" (the original inventors) had it more than 80 years ago. It didn't start being mass-produced until 1958, though (65 years ago), by Eastman (a.k.a. Kodak). Originally it was used just by the industry, but Loctite started selling it to the general public in the late 60s (around 55 years ago). All those numbers are bigger than 40. Anyway, nothing in my post refers to using super glue "40 years ago".

I found Method 1 in Video is a lot more DIY than using a dowel. Every household will have a roll of kitchen foil within reach most of the time, but not a dowel and a saw.

@@naratipmath - Does every house have an easily-amazed 50-year-old carpenter, though?

Precisely what I was thinking. Also a cabinet maker to trade

Yep that's how I repaired my hinges on kitchen doors. My dad taught me ages ago. He was a builder.

Surprised he didn't drill all the way through then install 2 stove.bolts with wing nuts on the outside.

I've only just posted the same thing myself, then I spotted your comment. It's easier to use a dowel, and it's super-strong.

That foil will last all of about 2 minutes,you could see when he inserted the screws that they bottomed and we're still turning, he would have been better served just putting the screws back in with just the glue.As an automotive engineer I can tell you that that open tapered thread will offer next to no clamping force in that foil,the screw being held in entirely by a bit of glue and some friction, its ability to retain that little clamping force will be rapidly overcome by the movement and weight of the door it's self and the transfer from the snapping action on the hinge as it shuts. My method is to router out a rectangle around the recess leaving around 3mm at the back edge to retain the outer finish and then glue in some hardwood blocks and recess them to accept the hinge. I've done a few that way,none have failed👍

I saw that second screw free spinning too Sir. “Fixes” my ass! Nothing more than old bodgy the Handyman tricks used by muppets.

And the silliest part is that any "50 year old carpenter" will have dowels and wood glue, that make this fix easier and much more solid.

Yeah, never a good idea to use a drill for little screws like that, that's probably how the holes got wrecked in the first place.

I have used zip tie ends because I had them handy and it worked perfect as well

I use toothpicks with wood glue as well.

I did this once when my father in law was watching me repair something of my wife's. He laughed at me. But then when he saw how strong the repair was afterwards he stopped laughing. Friction is a real thing.

😅😊😅

i have a table my great grandfather made. It has a pedestal center, and the tabletop can be turned upright by virtue of a hinge on the pedestal. Tabletop is quite heavy, and after 90 years, between wood shrinking and the weight of the table top, a couple of the screws gave way. My brother-in-law tipped me off to the toothpick method, and it worked incredibly well. I was nervous as anything to try it - GGfather's table has thousands of small inlays, a real piece of art that I was terrified I'd ruin.

@@QuietlyContemplating There are plenty of "clever" UKposts how-to videos. This isn't one of them.

nothing beats Tight Bond II or III wood glue and birch tooth picks, forget superglue

You should make a video...

You and everyone who has ever done any woodworking and is actually trying to fix things, instead of making a "DIY" video for people who have never (and hopefully will never try to) actually fix anything.

One thing I drilled into my children, and my pupils when I taught shop, was "no superglue without goggles", and your experience illustrates why this is so important.

Hi Benton, Reminds me of my neighbour coming in for a cup of tea to calm down after bringing his wife home from A&E. They were out and he bought some superglue to fix something in the car and when he was done, asked her to look after the bottle until they got home she put it in her handbag. They stopped for a bite to eat at a restaurant, he came back from a loo break to waiters surrounding her in panic. She was screaming. During his break, she'd put lipstick on and her eye drops in.

Be careful taking a squirt after handling superglue.

I’m sorry but that’s hilarious hahaha always work safe.

I'm sorry to hear that Benton. I tend to avoid using superglue as much as possible. There are professional adhesives at your local hardware store meant for specific materials you're gluing. Superglue is just nasty. Take care

That is true. But for someone like me who is not a carpenter tries to fix their own things at home this is a great tip. If it holds and it is strong and it is not visually unappealing this is really useful for me.

Agreed, UKposts is full of rubbish and idiots watching liking crap.

This is an awesome repair for rental properties!!!

You would if you didn't try and rip them off. This is a quick and easy fix, most people are simply going to appreciate that and your knowledge.

You would go to the customers home see this and say nope can’t be fixed new kitchen needed🤣🤣

Apparently a 49 year old carpenter was later for the job. The 50 year old got there 1st. The 49 Yr old inspected the repair ..."foiled again!", he exclaimed...

@@stephenhookings1985 😂😂

60 year old even better.

I’ve got one year to become a carpenter 😅

@@davidmil15 That's great and on your final exam you already know the answer for the question : How to repair stripped screw holes. The only right answer is aluminum foil. I'm sure you'll ace the exam 👍

Nice and if you dont have dowels, do what i did and use some match sticks similar outcome, and its probably stronger than it was before.

@@krushingbro6620saw dust and superglue works too

You can use aluminium foil from a chocolate bar 😁

I was thinking the same thing.

Me as well, not impressed with this 30 years experience crap.

simple solution old time hinges on old time wood ply or laminate but not particle board that when wet falls apart

Yeah, good luck on the no-particle board point.

yes you can use it... most power tools have clutch with 20 levels to choose to prevent unnecessary strength. you just need to use it... that fix right there, was actually not perfect, you can clearly see the screw didn't tight as much as it should. i prefer using a wooden plug with glue

did he make the cabinet? I doubt it.. I work on jobs already assembled so no choice there. I would not go to this length though on such a repair. a good filler and a wooden peg is as good.

A lot of people don't like the particle board but if you use anything else it will double (or more )the price of the units.

Herrgott, warum zur Hölle glauben Sie jeden Müll den Ihnen irgendein UKposts-Trottel hier erzählt? das ist unnötiges Material! nehmen Sie einfach feine Sägespäne oder Schleifstaub und Sekundenkleber! ...anstatt sinnlos noch anderes Material zu verschwenden! nutzen Sie doch Ihr Gehirn richtig und denken Sie nach!😉✌🏻 warum wird die Mehrheit der Menschheit immer dümmer?😔

Are we still doing phrasing?

You can also fill in with most powders, like residue form a cigarette or salt, then glue

Did you see the 50 year old carpenter? I missed them in the video?!?!?

​@@josh-thomas It was implied in the title. I considered it part of the concept of the video.

👏👏👏👍👍👍

they should start using metal screw slot inserts so the cheap plywoods or chipboards will never loosen overtime.

🤣🤣🤣

You what the money?

So inspiring, if only others could learn from you the world would be a better place. Thank you for changing lives.

Old copied comment

@@frankcovert6196 thank you too for your amazing comment that shed my tears🙏 We need more positive amazing people in life like you!

Yep … every time

What does the baking soda do?

@@bonajab strengthens the epoxy even more.

@ATHGT I've been using baking soda on superglue. For a near instant cure and more strength. I didn't know it worked on epoxy too. Nice.

Great tip.

hotglue are too soft. eventually the screw would just force its way out of the glue after few time opening the cabinet.

I agree about the hot glue. It did seem unlikely to me that it would be useful over time. Especially if it shrinks it would come loose eventually.

Why would aluminum foil be a good idea? It makes absolutely no sense to me to use aluminum foil

Or a couple of matches

Yep, many ways to fill a gap. I can't say anything about the 50 year old carpenter. Most carpenters know all sorts of tricks to do this.

If only you'd been taught how to spell "years" more than sixty years ago! 😉

Oppure stucco a spruzzo più catalizzatore o stucco vetro resina

@Mini Content Man i know i just litle joking but i like this chanel 🤣👍

the hinge are designed to only take in certain size of screw, using a bigger screw would usually mean the head will not sit flush onto the hinge holes.

True but sometimes you have to use what you have available and I am not a carpenter so I don't have, for example, a bunch or super useful dowels lying around, or piece of plastic pipe and I don't know all these easier options you talk about. So this is helpful to me.

Toothpicks and wood glue work just fine

Looks like CA glue (super glue) and then an activator that was sprayed at the end

🤦🏻‍♂️ das ist UKposts Müll! nimm Schleifstaub oder feine Sägespäne mit Sekundenkleber! das ist tausend mal besser! und verbrauchst nicht sinnlos irgendwelche anderen Materialien! zu 90% sind dieses ganzen angeblichen Tricks und Tipps totaler Schwachsinn! traurig, aber leider wahr!

@@1982rebell What the guy above wrote in German was: "this is youtube garbage! use sanding dust or fine sawdust with superglue! that's a thousand times better! and don't needlessly consume any other materials! 90% of all these supposed tricks and tips are total nonsense! sad but unfortunately true!"

Larger screw won't fit through the hinge hole.

He’s getting better, lol.

Obviously, the hot glue must have a self leveling property!

@@brothershooryn_219 I'm not a carpenter, nor 50 years old... and I would be ashamed if I did this as well.

i’m a 58 ex cabinetmaker and i agree with you total hacks

I am and 80 year old carpenter and I would probably recommend replacing the entire kitchen

For a heavy duty fix fill it with JB Weld .

Glue and toothpicks are a lot stronger than bog

Superglue (cyanoacrylate) is usually what's used with these methods.

That is a good idea. I think for someone like me that is not a carpenter and would try and fix my own stuff this would work well.

That's exactly how aquarium guys glue their rocks together...

😂😂

Dokładnie.

Love it.

Those options aren't always available to everyone.

@@Martin-pb7ts BS, take some ownership and stop making excuses. If you can core a 35mm hole in a door you can also do some 10mm holes. Either that or get out of the f’ing business and stop turning out shoddy products.
