It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into ru-vid.comUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.
English Carpenter of 40 years living and working in Australia for last 22 of those. Watching your videos the building in NZ is more varied and more English in style. Think I should have gone to NZ instead of Oz. You get some interesting jobs makes me jealous. Qld building is dire at best.
Hey Scott, you’ve inspired me to apply to Carpenter’s helper positions in my area. I hope I can get on somewhere and begin my journey in this career field! Thanks for the awesome content and respect for the upload speed!
Henry fletch Yep it's a real fuckin' bummer. If that's the case, just take what you can learn from em and stay in your own lane with personal stuff. Tradesmen love talking and bantering, just better when it's about surface level things
Henry fletch and here I am in my second week as a carpenters helper and my supervisor is a shitty person making the work harder on me that necessary... love the work hate the guy managing me.
@@CorwinDG Mate I did 4 years bus driving same type of thing moron in office bitching about impossible things like not being caught in traffic jams. I quit and moving on.
For future reference easy calculation for working out the weight of the steel flat bar is volume in m3 (width x length x thickness) x 7.85 will give you the weight in Kg. Always handy to know what you lifting.
I've just started a job renovating 3 flats. With your advisory from your old vids working in Scotland. I've had all trades covered all banisters and door frames with Hardy board. My job job looks more professional and the client loves the extra step we have done. Thanks for the tip I've put a little sumit in your Paypal
I love the positive vibes in your videos, Scott. Makes me miss NZ a lot. Thanks to you i'm thinking of starting a carpenter apprenticeship here in Germany. I'm hoping that it will help me find work anywhere in the world (although NZ would be very nice). Cheers, Johann
love the lazer scott, and yea your right that attachment is used to level out a grid cieling , you clamp it on the metal wall angle and then you use the target to get an overall level grid through out the whole cieling. I Install dropped cielings as a trade and we use those lazers all the time.
Used that in conjunction with the green plastic thing. Well, mine is red, I have a cheaper red cross line laser. Love the Bosch laser though. Leveled the ceiling out with plastic packers. Could place my level anywhere, it was spot on. After plastering is looks really tidy. Nice time saving tool. If I would have to buy it again, I would seriously consider one like Scott showed. Worth the money
have the same laser, and a good accessori for it is the motorised base for it , named RM3, real handy when checking diagonals and doing fine adjustments like plumbing up large walls, just set it up rougly at say, 5 cm and go to the other end of the wall and adjust to 5 cm and boom, u got a nice line to plumb up the wall, i find it very helpfull
I love how 90% of the comments are about Rich’s farts, haha love me some Scott Brown Carpentry for the sole purpose that it’s a few good dudes doing what they love and have fun doing it. Cheers boys.
G, day Scott. As an alternative tie-down 10mm zinc rods (you can buy thread connectors and square washers). Saves a lot. That strutting beam is smart design. You can clip the laser level after leaving a datum mark.🕳
Heads up, Scott... if you’re noticing view figures a bit off in the US. I recently You-Tube automatically adds commercials in the middle of vids over 10 mins long... even if the creator opts out of it. It doesn’t bother me, but I’m just me.
Hey Scott you should check out the motorised base for that laser it's very handy for fine adjustments from the other side of a room when you're working by yourself, also a must buy is a rechargeable battery kit that goes with the laser. The one they ship it with is pretty crappy and mine broke one side of the plastic locking arm after a month from just taking out the battery. It could be the batch I got but check your beam one side of the line is finer/sharper then the other and use that to set your reference lines.
8:46 must feel good when driveby random person yells about how awesome your channel is. Your working and videos are great, grows nice reputation around you!
Loving the channel and the content. When is the martinez hammer review coming. Thinking on buying one myself to take over from my estwing framing hammer.
Howdy from Nebraska USA. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I've been a carpenter here for over 20 years. Never seen a setup like that combo of steel and dimensional "timber". We use engineered lumber like "LVL" and "gluelam". Are these things not available in NZ? They would save alot of time and probably money for you guys
Kiwi DIY spirit I guess, not so available (but definitely around), but would seem easier to lift in multiple sections than a single laminated piece? I'm not a builder, just a Kiwi making some guesses, so I could be wrong.
Just a little constructive criticism, but you guys assembled the scaffolding upside down. The diagonal bracing on the jacks (frames) point down, so you can plank it solid if necessary 😉. Love your show 😘🍻
That wood/steel/wood laminate was interesting. On one of the earlier videos I was thinking that was a lot of weight to put on a wooden beam and then it's solved with a sheet of steel as the filling in a sandwich.
Awesome work Scotty hey I notice a Makita Vacuum near the end of the video . Is it any good bro ? I’m thinking of getting the DVC157LZX2 AWS version. Keep up the great work love the videos 👍🏽
Love the videos Scott but there is something about using pink coloured wood that makes me worry every time I see it. It makes me think of candy floss.......
Hi mate. I have been on tour around the world with different productions for the past 15 years. You should have a look at the tool storage and portable work shops that entertainment touring crews implement. Moving high end fragile equipment is a big part of what we do. Given the size of your operation & limited storage/truck space, I am positive the productivity gains, physical space savings would be well worth the investment. Cheers
Hey nice vid big man, you framed the lintel above the door vs up against the top plate (and then frame down to the doorway). Is there any benefit to it that way? Just asking because i put headers up out the way to allow for re renos in the future incase door or window sizes change...trying to learn but it might just be 6 and 2 3's
In nz pretty much all our lintels are installed this way. Generally with a reno a new window or door height will remain the same but might be narrowed or widened. In the latter, the lintel will need to be replaced regardless of where it is installed. Much easier at the lower height to work on and install. These are only my thoughts. Ther is probably a good reason why in other countries lintels are installed under top plates too
I have a question. We made a mistake and drilled a 2 1/2 inch hole in a 12” load bearing beam. How much did it weakens the beam? And is there a way to add support to it where the hole was drill?
Hi Scott I have a question for you. As We are renovating the house. We have a house with a trestle roof and a light weight roof with corrugated iron. Can we remove all center walls. Will they not be structural? Thank you
