YouTuber VS Real Carpenter | Pergola Challenge 

What an amazing time this was. What would you have done differently?

The guests skill was SUPER impressive

Can we take a second to appreciate that Wood bully put together TV worthy quality competition challenge content likely for 1/100th if the budget and crew those TV shows have.

Note to the mixer: turn the music down. A lot of times I couldn’t understand what they were saying.

These "VS" videos are a lot of fun. I think you're onto something here. I'll watch. Thanks.

I am so glad I found this Bully guys channel! This is probably the greatest “face-off” series or the idea of it ever!

I would love to see one of these vs a "forgotten more than you'll ever know" type old head. My great uncle has built so many houses from the foundation up that basically any challenge would just be something he's already done on that same time frame dozens of times. I think everyone has an uncle like that, and I'd love to see them represented.

Excellent video. I’m very impressed by Avery. Oddly enough I like his design more. But then again, I love simplicity

Great sportsmanship on the wood bully’s part agreeing with the judges

Wood bully lost bad. Not even close

The worst part about this video is now my girlfriend is asking if I can build a pergola like Avery’s in a few hours. Thanks guys. 😂

Good on ya Bully, way to take the loss like a champ. While I did personally prefer Avery's design, I can appreciate the unique approach you chose as well as the quality of work you both managed to put out in such a short amount of time. This series even after just two videos is fantastic, be sure to keep em coming.

Love the channel. My one gripe is the editing. Much like Chopped it's meant to create anxiety by splicing in clips of hurried movement and a timer winding down. Some of us would rather see it chronologically with no filler. 👍

“Kyle forgot to remind me” 😂

Something that would take these videos to the next level and add some content would be a breakdown of the features used and a breakdown of the builds of how you would do it differently. An in-depth 10 minute video would help coach a LOT of people. The entertainment is awesome - I would love 1 or 2 key takeaways. In addition, I would love to see people do a little more of an intro of who they work with etc so they can do a little more advertising of their business if they win.

One looks like a pergola the other looks like he’s framing a shed!

This series needs to continue

This was really fun to watch! I agree with the judges as well. Gord's just didn't look like a pergola should, and as the judges stated, a pergolas job is to partially block out the sun somewhat, ad Gord's just didn't do that from what I could see.

Not close at all, gords just looks completely unfinished, looks as if they’re waiting on materials to finish the back wall. Creative design but completely missed the mark for sure

I respect the speed you build the pergolas, there’s a lot to learn

Avery is a master craftsman!!

Incredibly impressed with the quality of the video, audio mixing aside. It felt like I was watching something from Amazon/Hulu/Netflix with the production quality and pacing. Now if I could just get the design docs for that guest pergola so I can slap it in my backyard, that would be great ;)

Do more of these challenges if you can Wood Bully. I know it’s easier said than done, but if you can would definitely tune in.

I would have liked if you had more shots of the pergolas panned out. If the whole picture of the projects was shown fairly for the viewers to see, then I must have blinked.

It was good it teaches others not to be scared to build stuff. Good on you for that part. And showing some extra techniques.

I’ve only seen you on Facebook but keep this series coming man. Great content, and honestly cool to see someone beat the bully! Good shit buddy.

Needs to be once a month, so 12 vids a year, the deck one was great, keep this up!

If I ever get time and you're still doing these or just want to do a build off for fun I will absolutely come up there and give it a shot. I'll be prepared and come to win of course but mostly just for the heck of it. These are great videos.

I agree on the winner selection, I did not think as a consumer the fancy pergola was functional and I would not buy. Thank you this challenge was fun to watch.

;Well done gentlemen. I enjoy the WB content. I hope Brian's paying attention & keep up the good work!

Love the competition series ! What a great idea !!Thanks

Love seeing all that Black & Yellow.

Bring this series back!! (Please)

Theses challenges are a lot fun to watch. Please more of this.

Amazing, all from scratch in three hours. I can’t even get my truck inspection done in that time!

I am really loving this series, thank you

This is awesome work guys love the idea and concept of the miter edges

Hey gord I love this series and I would love to watch some more of this! You guys both did really impressive work in just 3 hours

Going off what you said at the end "I'd use a few more fasteners, more wood, and a lot more time"... perhaps after the judging, give yourselves a few hours to fix those mistakes, add some design, a bit more wood, and whatever else. Then follow up with 10 min of footage of how it "would have" turned out if given the chance. Might be a cool add to the video on something like this. Perhaps not so much on the 4x4 deck and stairs, but with this, yes I'd love to watch more on how each person would have finished (if given more time, material, and thought).

1. Curtain or some kind of visual separation between the two projects so you don’t see each other’s work until the end of the competition. 2. More shots of the project panned out 3. More time so we can see finishing touches. Enjoyed your video challenges. Just subscribed. Thanks!

Subbed for these videos. Going to check out your others but I’m loving the challenge aspect. Very very cool stuff. My wife loves watching cook offs but I found my favorite type 😅😅

You definitely should keep these challenges going i just found them there great....

Awesome content. Reminds me of early Forged im fire. Carpentry is a lot more relatable though.

Just came across this channel... what a gem! Beauty👍

Keep these challenges coming! Great content!

Really enjoying the last couple videos put out 💯 if I did this challenge in 3 hours it might not have gotten done🤣

Hahahaha the speech before the loss was the real bully move

My experience with outdoor builds coming from the northwest and building with cedar all my designs are based on but cuts with some kind of celebration of end details, much like craftsmen style. I also use kiln dried materials that have been pre finished and cuts finished as build progresses. Nice video!

I have watched several episodes and like the way the bully loses. a very skilled class act

Great video. I’d suggest making them around 50 minutes and a little more detailed, but this was awesome bully

Kyle didn’t forget it was you

Please do more of these kind of videos love them

I suck at working with wood so this is really fascinating to see.

"Kyle forgot to remind me!" "Kyle, get over here!" Hahaha

Bryan really got yo ass stretching 🫠🙃😉🤐 great show!

I really enjoy these competitions.

I dont know the first thing about framing/construction, but ill watch the hell out of this lol

Hey Wood Bully!! I just found your channel. I must say it is quite enjoyable. I grew up around a bunch of bullies. You are the nicest bully I have watched to date. Toughen up cupcake! Great idea!! You got me hooked! I subscribed!!

These are great videos. Sound track is sweet as well

I’m not a woodworker… blue collar adjacent. I am a RU-vid junkie however and this is great content.

gord knew he lost XD dude was SWEATING "no loser here today" i bet

My second comment on this channel 😂 I do like it and no disrespect at all!! I’ve built a thousand pergolas actually got hired to build them for Lowe’s all over Texas and their design was trash that they wanted but I honestly think there’s a big difference in a framer and other things I do it all decks patios a ton of fences over 5000 jobs in Austin but these are the weirdest looking pergolas I’ve ever seen we do 10x16 in 4 hours by meaning we me and a guy. Not dogging man not trying to but I would definitely do a pergola challenge w you any day of the week.never seen 45s on top like that I do notch my posts love your videos man no disrespect at all I’m just fast or can you do a fence challenge I’d love that😂 please lmk on that. Rock dirt solid concrete anything I’ll bring my tools? It’s my first year so be easy lol 😂..

Your videos are therapeutic. Thanks for your content. New subscriber here!

That back wall of Gords looks like my unfinished/Sheetrock garage walls

I'm not a carpenter so there's no way I'm doing it.... But, we need more episodes!!!

I am loving this series , Gord i would love to challenge but i happen to be the slowest woodworker on the planet , keep up the great work

love these battles

I live in Saskatchewan, I was on the Handyman Challenge years ago and lost pretty badly lol pay my flights and I’ll build any outdoor structure. Just don’t get Scott McGillivry to be the judge!

23:55 what a nice boss teaching him how to K.I.S.S

Avery kicked his ass and he knew it

These are fun to watch. If I’d say one thing. I watched the other video. If you spread the challenges like this out in your feed, I’d probably watch more of them. I watch too much RU-vid. This is just something I noticed when I went to your channel. I think if you spread these out between other uploads you may drive more traffic. What do I know though? Just telling you what it felt like when I went to check out the channel haha

i can barely operate a hammer. but i love this series. also love your shirts bully.

i think the judge in the black hat made the overall right decision but he isn't very familiar with structural design, but definitely 2 great builds.

I would love to see a full modern design. Basically complete the thought. But that back wall looked like fire blocking to me and was super distracting to my eye. Would you leave that as-is in a full design?

i like those video alot keep them coming! A note if i may, show the whole finish preduct more! when they judge we can't really see what they are talking about or it too zoomed in to understand. good video eitehr way.

Hey hey!! Nice Akribis bags man!!

I’ve never understood the fascination with pergolas.

I liked the traditional one in every aspect. The design of the other looked very. . . . emaciated.

Avery's build was hand's down a winner, Bully's was ok but missed the mark on design being compromised with lateral support across the top and termination of the vertical timbers at the front, Avery's looks more traditional / timeless design and without all those mitres will still look great in years to come.

You can almost always tell a good carpenter by his toll bags. If a guy has Occidental bags that are well used I’ll usually trust him

Digging the jams on this video..

Cracking idea for vids . Great challenges and content . Well done that man woop woop . 🎉

Great video, but why put such time constraints and not give it 6hours? I don't get it

Well done bully. 👍

That artistic design can have copper art material or anytype to go in those square open areas.. make it really artistic

We need bully beater merch

I love this series

This makes me want to try build a pergola. Which would be a stupid idea because I have no idea what I am doing

Here’s some in put on your already good idea for the show … you should just go to a neighborhood where it looks like they need help with a new deck or replacing the deck and just see who builds the best one but make sure there’s two houses side by each so u can do one and they can do one on the other side ..

woody love the series watch it like 5 times. don't stop making videos market yourself! i would like to challenge you to a computer build think about it. the world wasn't build in one day. lol

Split custody!😂

You're good wood bully, I won't deny that. I'd love it if you were to come to England and go up against me. Not sure you would though, I build decks, pergolas and and any timber framed constructions at ease to the highest standard! Respect to a fellow chippie though 👌

These are really good mate! you're onto something

Kyle forgot to remind you? :) Nice challenge!

I agree that the one pergola did not provide much shade. Also the climbing risk.

I like these competition shows you are doing. I also like the idea of doing it for charity too like an above comment. Keep up the good videos 👍

Side to same side = center to center 🔨

Some feedback from a fan: During the sections between dialogue, the "action shots" if you will, bring back the volume of the music a little. I actually like the sounds of the tools and work being done, and it always got vastly overpowered by the music. :P

“Kyle forgot to remind me” what a dude 😂

Just subscribed love these competition videos
