Yeah I made that mistake on pouring mine right now and it came out blotchy and clumpy 😢 and now I just have to wait for it to Dry inside my house😅 I wish I had seen this video before I did this 😫😵💫
PSL'S are usually used in wood frame construction for girders to support shorter spans of LVL'S. I am not an engineer. I just follow their plan. The reason they pick one or the other is flexibility. If things can't flex sometimes they will break.
Lifesaver! At about 5:40 plus you gave me the best method yet to simply and quickly note differing levels. I’ve got to sort out and level a new floor on sagging uneven joists and this is the best way to get my measurements that I’ve found. ❤
Jim thanks for video setting up dado blades I just got set for Father’s Day and you’re video was the best explanation how to set dado blades.Thanks also watched video to make zero clearance throat plate for dados.I just subscribed thanks again hope you put out more videos have a great weekend.You explain very well in you’re video great teacher.
Great idea with that jig. I suppose you could add one more piece to the bottom of the jig that sticks out in the back so the work piece would sit on that rather than the table top. Then you don't need a super flat bench.
If you need the complimentary angle mark the bench with the bevel, put framing square on the mark, mark the other leg of the square, and set your bevel to the new mark
When you set your chop saw with a bevel you can get the degrees off the saws degree scale. When I set a bevel I usually mark the bench or a board so if the bevel falls off the bench I can check it against the bench mark.
What is the advantage of using LVL instead of a steel beam? In my opinion, the small difference in cost, when labor cost is factored in, is really a non issue. So why use LVL instead of steel?
One of the things I see in may of these first time trial reviews is a slight misunderstanding of how the rubber fingers work in Bow's feather boards. When you try to test the holding power by pulling your work-piece back against the feather board, you will notice that the piece can move backward a few millimeters with minimal friction. That is because the laser-cut shape of the fingers allows some movement in both directions at first, but in the reverse direction the fingers lock one against each other, and AFTER they lock, the piece becomes VERY hard to move backward any further. That few millimeters of movement should not put anybody in danger.
Would have been helpful if I could have actually been able to see what you were doing at the most important parts of the video but you blocked my view.
Could I use an 24' LVL over a 22' garage roof? I want to use it as a ridge beam. I will be putting a sheet metal roof on the garage. The LVL in question is a 1 3/4 x 9 1/2 1.9E. Thank you.
I just bought a reciprocating saw and I was looking for more usages than just wood and metal cutting, those spider blades you showed are amazing. Thank you for your informative video.
Hi, it's 2024 my first time watching your channel. I'm planning on updating my interior doors and need a saw. I was planning on buying a saw and after watching your video I won't have to, because I do have a reciprocating saw. So, thank you for your channel, I will be watching more.
Great video. I've just discovered a whole lot of rotten joist and subfloor from a leaking hot water heater. Water was going under a linoleum flooring and not apparent until the floor started to sag. I'm going to have to do this same thing to an end wall in the kitchen. I knew how to sister the 2x4 studs in but the 2x8 cross brace was what I was wondering. Wasn't sure how to support the whole wall while pulling out the sill/rim joist. This helps SO MUCH.
I applied using a squeegee, brush, and roller. The squeegee worked well. I would pour product and spread with squeegee, then go over with roller. Seemed to make the product go further.
One of the least used tools I've owned. It's not good for accuracy, speed or cutting tree limbs. Cordless chainsaw way way faster. For tight spaces, oscillating saw is better.
I was just looking at their product line and I see there are two styles of those rubber feather boards, the regular black ones are what you bought. Look into getting the replacement rubber inserts that are called ultralight ones and are grey in color. $14.99 for the ultralight ones.
The ultralights don't have the same holding power, and are intended for the "dual" setup, as two black would impose too much friction for moving the work forwards.
