Useful woodworking tips and skills. How to securely contact boards of different thicknesses  

Because they work damn good !

Depending on what you're actually building, sometimes if it's not load-bearing or overly important, if it's just something you're throwing together like a birdhouse or something simple, then you're not gonna care about choosing just the right screws or the most perfect wood. You're just gonna throw it together with whatever materials you have laying around, maybe even with recycled/repurposed stuff. My dad used to do that all the time, take some scrap wood and make stuff like a bird feeder, or a purpose built shelf for something specific or something of the sort. He'd use whatever was laying around in the shop. But when it came to furniture, he would make absolutely beautiful furniture that would easily fetch hundreds of dollars if sold, using the finest materials and the most clean construction.

I agree. You never know exactly how long something will be used, or when someone might lean against it (which always happens), so you might as well get the right fasteners. Plus, you’ll have the right fasteners for the next couple projects, it’s rarely a single project buy.

@@Joe_L_D again, that's assuming the wood used in the video is actually anything more than just a demo that he is gonna take apart as soon as he's done recording. I mean, look at that piece of wood up against the bricks, it has empty screw holes, likely from other demonstration videos.

So he doesn’t waste his good screws for these videos!! 😂

lol you probably don’t use drywall screws as structural either.

Legit 30 years or 30 years of being in armchair construction?

I've definitely had to make cuts like that on numerous occasions over the years myself. Just recently had to make some cuts like that to replace some exposed cross bracing in an old barn type structure. But i didn't have any use for this dude's particular little scribing method here

Plot twist…you’ve never worked in construction 😱😂🤣

😅

Diaz mentor from college this one😂

I think it's working well for him. He's got 1.3 million subscribers and is probably making your annual salary every month. You commenting only helps him more - that's why everything is done with at least a few mistakes.

@@jay70328 😂😂😂😂 RU-vid shorts pay £100 a month buddy research your shit before you try an comment

@@jay70328 No shit Jay. Bit YT dont make as much as you’d think. Someone like you thinks a few hundred grand is a lot of money though.

@@jay70328 The “can’t take a joke guy” has entered the chat. Anyone who starts with calling about money doesn’t have any.

He naw'd on the top with his teeth 😂

that's probably in the village somewhere deep in Russia probably 😂😂😂

It's 4 inches off the ground

😂

What is sheet rock attached to

There are other types of screws for outdoors work

Why do you think that, it's hard to focus on the video?

@@emmakoncept3445 hard to explain. Tip of board touches wall when marked then you cut that tip off and tip on other side touches the wall. So your moving the board closer which changes the angle and in theory shortens the board.

@@emmakoncept3445 He is 100% correct.

How did you determine that?

@@gregorsamsa1364 Well, you make a good point. It depends on whether the other end of the stud is at a fixed point or offset by the same amount when measured. I guessed it was the former, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, cause it'll all be covered up anyways so who cares?

It seems so. The drywall screws were a big distraction it seems. 😂

Classic comment

No! Diaz be Cricket his apprentice

Thanks 👋🤝❤️ I'm glad you liked it 👍☺️

Drywall screws are threaded up to the neck. These are woodscrews. Wouldn't matter using drywall screws on a small job like this anyway. Carpenters often use them. They're stronger, thinner, cheaper and quicker than woodscrews.

Built a boat dock 17 years ago using all drywall screws still no problems.

It’s not a drywall screw

Hey drywall screws are versatile!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀💀

I asked the same thing even before coming to the comments!

🤗☺️❤️👋

That’s not a plasterboard screw

That's when the deck screw stash comes out

Not a dry wall screw

Maybe it’s temporary

Thanks 🤝👋❤️

Thanks 👋🤝❤️

How would that be autism? And I also hate the sound.

No you're not I've mocked this bs for awhile.

@@KamiZi0 probably not i just threw the word out there

You must be the Cousin

??

how much time?

Well if he’s doing all this and it’s going to be a permanent set up. Within 3 years everything time everything touching concrete will start rotting out and around 7-8 years you’ll see complete failure of the wood structure if it’s a permanent set up. If he’s just doing it to show how to support something temporary he’s got no problems

I doubt the wood used is actually meant to be part of any construction, the guy is using scrap wood to show off a concept.

Also, my dad built a bird feeder on the side of one of our sheds, using rough scrap wood. He slapped some cheap exterior paint on it (same color as the shed) and it lasted for 10-15 years out in the weather.

@@Dhalin the paint adds a layer of protection to the wood and doesn’t allow then wood to absorb moisture

Not a drywall screw - Dacrotised exterior woodscrew
