This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things ru-vid.comUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

You sound very happy with this plan ru-vid.comUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO It sounds like you were skeptical at first, but you gave it a chance and downloaded it. And then you were surprised by how simple and clear the plan was. It must have been very helpful for you to follow the instructions and make your project. You must have learned a lot from this plan. Even a beginner can become a master with these plans.

I fitted kitchens for about 8 years after I took voluntary redundancy from a national company. I recognise the tips and tricks to get around problems. Always used a compass for scribing. You have some great tools there, really like the gadget for moving tall units, I snapped a few legs off trying to move them. Had to give it up in the end due to knackered back, elbow and wrists.

Yes Keith, it certainly is different when a camera is pointing at you and knowing someone will comment on every move.

@Bob-kb5pv Год назад

17:25 where you were talking about spraying units. I used to fit for B&Q and they had a bright red kitchen. A filler above an oven unit had a raw end. I glued and shaped some edging tape to it, and painted it up with some Ford touch up paint that was a perfect match.

@flyingjackcarpentry9394 Год назад

That happened to me once when I was younger. A lady I was courting told her dad I work in a chip shop. He wanted better for his daughter. I reassured him I didn't work in a chip shop and I'm actually a carpenter... He still wanted better for his daughter.

@gdfggggg Год назад

I fit loads of kitchens. I tend to fit Wren; they are pretty good overall, prebuilt. Sometimes they’re put together a bit wonky, but nothing a bit of jiggery won’t sort. The most useful tools I found when building a kitchen is the palm router and quick clamps. Bish, bash, wallop. Tea up.

@roberthardy2013 Год назад

For the tall cupboard support I use a slaters lath with a home made “U” clamp with a small locking cam to move the support up and down the lath. Simply made out of scrap wood so I can lock the cam with one finger / thumb.

@Boobypoppop Год назад

Great video. Dan's work is always outstanding to my mind. On the joiner/carpenter question, I think Dan answered the question pretty concisely for construction. However, ask a stage/film carpenter what the difference is!

Hi Dan, for the back panel did you cut just cut the one panel along the V joint, and butt the manufactured end of the other panel into it. Great idea you had to do work with Del I'd be your 1st sub and tell Roger we call you a master craftsman. Have a good Easter.👍👍👍

@Ultimate-roofing-square. Год назад

Hi Kevin, I cut both sides and butted them, with glue. Nearly hides the joint.

@Ben-in6qh Год назад

Fitted one myself last week very impressed. I did notice tho Dan a few screws in cupboards that I think will be seen? The draw runners have spare screw holes and the hinges have a hole right through the middle. Maybe you put the screws behind shelves..... Proper job tho looks amazing 👍

@Ultimate-roofing-square. Год назад

I do usually try and hide screws behind hinges etc. if it’s in a draw unit then you can’t see it when the draw is in place. Thanks for watching.

Dan, or any carpenters/joiners, can you answer a question for me? I have a very in-depth, long term house renovation in hand and want to find a good all round nail gun for mostly interior work - tons of stud-walling and including building a kitchen (this video inspired me), and maybe some other units. I like the Makita's but the choice is almost limitless. TIA

Nice to see someone who takes care in his work, quality job Dan!👌 Am I the only tradesman who wishes all the kitchen companies would make an easy fit corner post that fixes to the carcasses directly while maintaining correct position dimensionally, instead of sitting on the corner edge with brackets or kd blocks??.. such a ball ache job..🤦‍♂️ Would make life so much easier and be a bit sturdier in the long run.. and a blanking panel that screwed from inside the cupboard afterwards would probably be too much to ask for!.. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@kendodd8734 Год назад

Great fit out dan ( I wouldn’t have expected anything less ) but a heads up for u for future reference what we tend to do with the sink units is take the back right out and then fit the carcass reduce the back panel down to the internal size of the and re-fit it after the plumber has done his bit it gives u a bit more flexibility in case u need to shuffle the units either way a bit plus it gives full access to the pipework for future reference in case there’s a leak or stuckfast stopcock or any adaptions we just fit it to two battens down either side and one across the bottom with four cups and screws

Hi dan....What would be the best Dewalt table saw for my lad, as he's just finished his apprenticeship in Kitchen fitting. Out of these 3 choices, which would be the best for him. the 10 inch DWE7492 on the heavy duty roller trolley, the 8inch DWE7485 or the DCS7485T2 54v XR cordless. If the 8inch, would you choose ally trolley or the simple scissor stand. If someone was buying it for you....which would you choose.

@stephenfrost201 Год назад

Totally agree about Howden's we used to say if you can get a Howden's kitchen from the delivery van into the house without something snapping or falling apart you were lucky. Worse still were ikea units which didn't used to have a service void. Not sure if they're still the same now.

@SkillBuilder Год назад

Ikea still has no service void. Some might say that gives you more space in the cupboards but it makes them a pain to fit

@stephenfrost201 Год назад

@@SkillBuilder must be nice to live in an ikea world where all rooms are perfectly square and kitchen units don't need to be scribed to walls. How they expect fitters to start from one of their corner units and work their way out along walls fitting base units to an unsquare room is beyond me. If you're room is unsquare after six or so units along you either have a 6 inch gap or units that need to live inside the wall. 🤔

Concentrate and don't push too hard. I sometimes turn off the hammer function on my sds and let the drill bit cut into the wall/brick/block about a quarter of an inch before I let rip and push into it with hammer mode. Gives you half a chance to keep things super level
