Great work Rob, looking good!

OH wow, thanks very much Cirtex! 👍

@FixitFingers 3 года назад

That's some gooooood diggen. Very satisfying to see the sleepers drop in so neatly. Getting there!

Cheers James, yes it's coming along.. Can't wait to get it filled and smoothed out!! 🤙

I've dug a few holes in my time, some i found a little difficult to get out of. But one thing i did (either i was told or i saw someone doing it) was to start digging and if it was very hard, fill it with water, then while that was soaking in, move to the next hole. then fill that one after removing a few shovel loads. It's easier to dig mud! Easier and takes a little less time. Great wall in N.Z! I look forward to searching for it on google earth! it is going to be huge! Michael

@TakamiWoodshop 3 года назад

That's a great tip! I don't know whey I didn't think of that myself as I found it really easy to dig after it had been raining. Lol, we all have those holes that we dig for ourselves that we can't get out of 🤣 Cheers man, I'll give you a wave on google earth!

@kuffyswoodwork 3 года назад

Those gal posts are a nice neat solution 👍

@TakamiWoodshop 3 года назад

Yeah I reckon aye. Assuming use of 100mm posts, they take up a third of the space of a normal wall as well.

@davykins 3 года назад

Cheers David, nice to see YOU back as well mate 👍🏻

@sumosprojects 3 года назад

Fantastic project filled with Hard Yakka mate, I was sweating watching you do the digging 💪👏👊. The backyard is going to be a pleasure to view once you’ve finished 🍺🍻👍👍👍👍👍

@TakamiWoodshop 3 года назад

Cheers cobber, it was a lot of hard yakka, and that's how I wrecked my arm with all that digging (and why I was wearing that blue strapping). Still got a few hard yards to go but it will be worth it!! 🍺🍺🤙🏖️

@SujMenon 3 года назад

Coming along nice 👌, Rob. Those steel C shaped inserts looks really handy and with that amount of concrete, its probably going to last for a very long time

@TakamiWoodshop 3 года назад

Cheers Suj 👍🏻. Their website says 20+ years, similar to the treated pine we usually use around here. I reckon it should go more though because we are inland so there's no salt in the air where we live.

@SMee67 3 года назад

Epic job, man 👍🏽 Going to look a million bucks when you're done! 👌🏽 You've definitely been productive the last few months or more, good on ya, mate, awesome work 👍🏽

Gidday Bill, thanks mate 👍 Hope I can keep the momentum (and the bank account) going until I reach the end. Pretty happy with how it's shaping up though. Fingers crossed we don't get any more covid-like interruptions !!

@TheGrantAlexander 3 года назад

I'd like some sunshine and blue skies right about now! I have dug some holes in my day, but nothing that major. Looks like a lot of fun (he says sarcastically)

@TakamiWoodshop 3 года назад

Digging really sucks the life out of you. Glad you told me you were being sarcastic. Funnest part of this whole wall was the 12 bucks at the start :)

That's looking pretty good bro ..! And ya did that over the long weekend?

@TakamiWoodshop 3 года назад

Cheers mate! 🤙 It was a long weekend of digging and faffing around with getting it straight etc, but not this weekend, this long weekend has been a bit of R & R time ☀️🏖️. Have to sort out a plate compactor this week.

@whitedoggarage 3 года назад

Hey Rob, really enjoyed the video and quite relevant for me as I am thinking of doing something similar at my house, so thank you. It didn't look like you were putting any drainage gravel behind the wall. Is that something for later, or the wall is so short that it is not needed? Thanks mate.

@TakamiWoodshop 3 года назад

Hey Bob, that's good to hear - the website for that company is pretty informative about the system (in description). One benefit is that it takes up much less width than having a 100mm post with 50mm boards (150mm+) where this system takes only about 65mm. The wall perpendicular to this one is itself a retaining wall and has all the drainage already installed, so I didn't bother. However, if this was a new wall, drainage is recommended (hose, gravel, geo-textile/screen). Be interested to see what you end up doing mate! Been keeping well? Cheers.

@whitedoggarage 3 года назад

@@TakamiWoodshop Thanks Rob, good to know. Yep, been keeping well, take care mate.

@duncanhart5888 Год назад

Were all those clamps and straight edged metal used to ensure everything was plumb and at the same height?

@TakamiWoodshop Год назад

Yep, that's right. but with instant concrete you can also just pour and then place the post in after. I didn't trust myself to get it all plumb and straight during that short window of setting time so I did it before pouring the concrete.

Unfortunately those posts are not available outside of NZ and AU

@rickbecket2820 2 года назад

Is this available in the USA? Looks like New Zealand only.

@TakamiWoodshop 2 года назад

Australia as well I think

@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL 3 года назад

You should have dug out those buxus instead of hacking them out. They were worth a lot more than that steel.

@TakamiWoodshop 3 года назад

Yes, missus wife reprimanded me severely for that and then pointed out some in the garden centre a couple of days later. When I saw what they cost I almost shit twelves dollars and ten cents!

Can you explain the math part to me ? Please I’m having a hard time getting the wall I’m working on at correct height

@TakamiWoodshop 2 года назад

Hi, the math in this video isn't for getting the wall to height sorry, it's me using Pythagoras theorem to ensure that the new wall is aligned at 90° to the existing wall.

@andrewmozdzen6358 3 года назад

@@TakamiWoodshop Thanks Rob, i'm doing a similar project at home and found your clip informative & thanks!

@TakamiWoodshop 3 года назад

No worries, just ask for retaining timber, and you'll get the correct H level. It's either 4.8m or 6m lengths in NZ. Mine is 200x50 rough sawn. From M10, Bunnings etc, they all have it.

@anilgargsfo Год назад

What kind of joiner do you use for two c-posts?

@TakamiWoodshop Год назад

You buy them pre joined, but it's just two of them welded together back to back. You can also purchase them joined back to side, for making 90° turns.

@anilgargsfo Год назад

@@TakamiWoodshop I suspect these are spot welded at many places. Sections are too thin to accept any other type of welding.

@TakamiWoodshop Год назад

Yeah I think so
