hi scott. as a finishing carpenter i also do a lot of stair work and i salute your skill. i also noticed how well geared up you are ie. festool etc. and like a guy once said to me. all you need now is someone to show u how to use them! just kidding!!!! keep the great videos comming regards from Ireland

@scottearlsmithFTC 2 года назад

Haha. I need all the help I can get so the Festool at least makes you look like you know what you're doing! LOL. Glad you're enjoying the videos. Means a lot coming from another carpenter. Cheers!

Super helpful. Getting some parts together for a clients balcony railing install and haven’t ever used this system but it looks like I’ll try it. Thanks. I subscribed

@scottearlsmithFTC 2 года назад

Tom you won't regret it. So much better than the old-school connectors. Recently I fixed a loose railing in a house 8-years old. The builder toe-nailed the railings onto the posts with finishing nails and then crayoned the holes. No excuse for that kind of work with all the technology we have now. Cheers!

I must be the exception with zip bolts. It looks really simple in the video, yet I can't get the gear housing to engage the bolt. Seems like if you don't drill the 3/8" hole spot on parallel to the rail, you may not have a good experience.

@scottearlsmithFTC 11 месяцев назад

Check to make sure your gear housing is facing the right direction, if it's backwards you'll have problems. The products work best if the holes are drilled precisely. If I have a helper I will have them eye-ball my drill to make sure I am drilling parallel and perpendicular. Hope this helps. Scott

@paullasko2023 11 месяцев назад

@@scottearlsmithFTC - So the gear housing was in the right direction (good suggestion to give a newb) and I measured and marked properly and even had a spotter to ensure both holes were perpendicular/parallel and needed. I was drilling into a rail that I milled from raw material and prefinished, so I was being really careful not to oversize the hole. Turns out that it can be difficult to drill the 3/8" hole exactly parallel and there is very little forgiveness with the gear mechanism in terms of alignment. Lesson learned that it's better to oversize the 3/8" hole a little.

@@paullasko2023 Glad it worked out. Thanks for letting me know. I think I've done so many of them that I forget that it was a bit tricky the first time around. Cheers Scott

@stephenwilliams1286 9 месяцев назад

can I ask are fasteners like this necessary or is the method I see in many other videos (like you use for fixing newel post in previous video) using a 4" long timber fastener screw and adhesive sufficient for the handrail too? since the cost of zipbolt is quite high

@scottearlsmithFTC 9 месяцев назад

Necessary - no. But very convenient especially if you are installing by yourself. I also like the ability to dry fit and then make adjustments to my cuts if necessary. I buy the Slipfix railbolts in bulk and they are more affordable that way. Thanks for your question. Cheers, Scott

@stephenwilliams1286 9 месяцев назад

Thanks Scott makes sense! Just wanted to make sure that by going the cheaper route isn’t a compromise on strength of end result, rather maybe tricker to do without a helping hand! If that is wrong then shout, otherwise thanks again 😊

@cultivateinnovations Год назад

How do you keep the gear from stripping? I've gone through two out of two just hand tightening and the gear strips. can't get them to tighten at all

@scottearlsmithFTC Год назад

You must have faulty gear housings. I’d contact the company.

Hi Scott what is the brand name counter sink bit that you used and where did you buy it? thanks
