Hi guys! My name is Sara and I am a DIY enthusiast with a passion for DIY, woodworking and home improvement. I love tackling (and sharing) projects that I undertake with the help of my best bud (THE rusty dog himself...Murphy). From the ultimate practical projects to the more creative ones, I've always got something going on in the workshop to keep me busy. Over the years I've sort of become the type of person who isn't afraid to try something on my own, albeit some things I have vowed to not try again! This has allowed me to learn so much through experience and hopefully I can share some of that insight with people interested in doing things for the first time as well. Follow along on my journey as I create, build, repair, improve and hopefully inspire others to do the same!
I absolutely disagree. All you need is wood glue, wood, screws and pads. Iam using jigsaw for everything. Not expensive at all. If you gonna do more projects it will return extremely. Just borrow jigsaw from someone on one day. thats all. And if you have problem with cuttting angle use this guide without angles. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MsHw38LGfU4.html
When displaying the flag of the United States of America with the stripes pointing downward, The Union, or the field of blue with stars, should be on the viewers' upper left and should NEVER touch anything below it, like the ground, water or merchandise. It should always have an opportunity to fly FREE and unfettered. 😊😊😊 ❤🇺🇸
Why did you choose 34 degrees Fahrenheit? Also, what's the recommended upper limit? (How high should you allow the temp to go before the unit kicks on)?
I like for the beer to be nice and cold! Haha so that’s close to freezing temperature but not too close. I would say the highest temp you would want to go for setting the temperature would be 40 degrees Fahrenheit. 34-40 degrees is kind of the recommended zone but ultimately its up to each individual and how cold they like to serve beer. In my experience…the colder the beer the less issues with foam. Not sure if there is something to that but that’s just the experience I’ve had. Hope that helps!
Luckily this was a couple weeks ago when temperatures were not as high as they are now. Otherwise he would probably want to stay inside in the AC haha.
Check your local building codes, bolts are typically a lot closer together for ledgers you have stud spacing. I'm not saying you're wrong here, every municipality has different rules for what you can to. Always better safe than sorry, 16 inches is too far for me even tho those bolts are almost 30$ a piece
Thanks for the tip! We were building off an existing deck on a recently built home so I just matched the spacing that they had on the ledger board on the existing deck. I assumed that would have met the building code for that area. But you’re right…it’s always a good idea to check first and make sure!
Good video.. .I'm replacing concrete stairs with wood . In researching, I've seen in warmer parts of the country you can do concrete pad to rest stairs stringers on . However in colder areas you'll need footings below frost line.
Hmm I’m not sure exactly what you mean by chisels? Are you referring to the router bits I used? If so, I used a flush trim router bit to get everything flush then I used a chamfer router bit to slightly chamfer the edges. If this isn’t what you referring to then just let me know the timestamp in the video in regards to your question and I’ll try to give a better explanation. 😊
The most important question I have: how do you attach the bracket to the stringer? Do you only nail the sides, or do you nail into the bottom of the stringer? (How do you fit your hammer in there?)
I use Simpson Strong Tie SD connector screws and I screw them into the tabs on the sides of the bracket as well as a few on the back. Sometimes it can be a snug fit.
I love that you share your parents with us. It is obvious there is much love there. I was thinking that there was maybe 36 pieces per bench. You and your parents did a fabulous job. Looking forward to your next build.
Comment for those wondering about the galvanised hardware: I tested some differently treated hardware for an oak bench I was building last year. Oak + iron + weather is generally bad, but apart from the one untreated screw (which rusted within a day), everything was fine. So I'm fairly sure your hardware will be good. Looks like a fun build, together with your folks.
Great information. I am about to laminate my outfeed/assembly table right now and I wanted to make sure I am on the right track. Your video popped up as first and it was very informative and helpful. Thank you!
I appreciate the kind words! 😊 I’m glad you found the video helpful. I have definitely enjoyed having laminate on my work surface. Very easy to clean up glue/epoxy drips. Best of luck!
