Really enjoyed that Simon, very informative and looked great! Have been enjoying the composite decking series too and good to compare how you've tackled that project with how I've installed a few in the last 18months.
A continuation of the great content that you’re already delivering on instagram Simon. The content you share is educational / helpful and the longer RU-vid videos will only increase on that. Thanks for sharing / delivering this content. 👍👍
Great to see you on RU-vid Simon. I don't get to do much wood work but always tune in to your projects on Instagram. Always learning stuff from artisan tradesmen 👍
Gen dit! In my opinion your the best thing on insta atm and that’s why I’ve come onto RU-vid today to support you and see what your up to on here. I fit kitchens so this is not really my game but I can’t stop watching you work. Top man. Quick quezzie Are you ex forces?
That surprises me due to the lingo you use to the discipline present in your work. Anyway good work and will look forward to further insta, RU-vid fun. 💪🏼
Really nice job there Simon top man. Great to see you putting this on RU-vid, hopefully it will be the first of more videos to come. Appreciate the time it must take though 👍🏼
What’s your favour type of work/project to carry out? Or is it just a pure love of the craft ? Top class as ever 👌🏻 #joinerpose (I think there should be a #joinerpose emoji!)
Very nice build and exact cuttings! But 1 thing I really like to do is use 1 length of board (if possible) so the colours will match. Then the autistic kid in me can sleep with a calm mind😊 Maybe next time you will try that to and you will see that it's just a small detail but makes a hugh differnce. Greatings from the Netherlands👍
Great first video, glad to see you on youtube! Question; I've seen you use a leaf blower to suck up chips from the comedy sized planer and seen others on tiktok use handheld blowers to suck up dust and chips from saws etc... I assume all the debris pass through the propeller and out the other end, doesn't that damege it or prematurely wear out the blower or gunk up it's bearings?
Good question….. I’ve had the same stihl garden vac for years, and other than routine maintenance, i’ve had zero issues. It has a blade infront of the fan to smash things up, but planer chips and dust are no drama for it 👍🏻
Brilliant. Love your work and the level of explanation detail in this video takes watching it to a new level. The obvious danger being you make it look so simple that I’m itching to have a go at home… 😬 Simple beginner question - with the chopsaw, do you cut on the line or to one side?
Followed you on other socials for a while, great work as always. How much of a difference is it making a RU-vid video as opposed to a reel or tik tok? Thanks.
Superb seeing you have started up on RU-vid! Really excited to see the progress. Question: does your massive chisel have a nickname? If not, may I suggest ‘The Persuader’..
Great to see the details of your work Simon. One question: did you have to do any finishing work on the sides of the gates or did the T&G line up perfectly?
Great video and the finished job looks fantastic. Just sub’d. Looking forward to further content. You much better than me in front of the camera. I’d say a natural.
Hi @Simon Bowler is the single screw fixing at the top of the horizontal runs enough to stop cupping of the cedar? I'm just about to do this on one of my projects having all hidding fixings apart from the first and last run looks a lot better. Thanks
May I ask why you chose to land the diagonal brace on the horizontal frame member instead of the vertical frame member? Won't that stress the joint as the timbers sag over the years?
nice work, mostly do it like that as well, and be honest, the NFU50 is a game changing beast, use it often and feels so easy as if it isn't removing 50% of the wood in a signle pass. Were do you get the hinges from? the design looks better then most used in the Netherlands.
I’m bad with Tech mate but tried to follow your instructions from instagram. Live your stuff and have a question. We’re predominantly an internal joinery outfit but have a commission for a large number of exterior oak doors. Where would you purchase proper European oak that’s well seasoned? Cheers Ben Ben joseph joinery ltd
I’ve been following for a while on Insta and always like to see the daily updates on your builds. Always fabulous work! The placement of the hinges on the gates, top and bottom, is this structural or just how you do them? If it had been me doing them I’d probably have had them a bit closer together, so top one down maybe one board and vice versa with the bottom one? I’m absolutely only a diy’er so only asking to learn. Hopefully full brownie points for the complete, like, subscribe and comment 😊😉🤣
