Hello from France :) Just cut down 4 big whity ash trees and need lot of plane lumber for lot of projects. You just gave me some hell ideas. Cheap and rolling. Thanks a lot !

Your channel just came to mind and noticed you haven't posted in a bit. Hope all is well!

Thanks for this info although it is basic, everybody needs to start somewhere and this is good info. Me, lazy, 'd rather pick me up a 150 bucks second hand planer. ;)

Love this mate - thank you. I've watched a few vids for inspiration and am ready to build my first! This is really helpful - nice one 👊

Look, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that insulation is supposed to be installed on the underside of your floor, not between the boards and your carpet. Plus, you're going to destroy it by constantly walking on it.

Yes, physics is working against you; heat stratifies. This is interesting, I think I will try it. One other thing, you need a pelmet on your curtains. This will force the circulating air into the room rather than behind the curtains near the window. You could just stick a bit of cardboard above you curtains to block the air flow. You could also try putting some of that bubble rap on your windows. If it works, you can get binds that do a similar job.

5:22 And there's the thumbs down.

oh yes the old saying "chilly feet, chilly heart"

Its because hot air always rises upward

Does it sound crunchy when you walk on it?

"Let's do this with tools you have at home" *pulls out 3000 dollars very specialised tool with a name you have to google first*

Doesn't heat rise, on that basis insulating under the floor makes little sense difference? I you're house is built on a concrete pad and you have decent quality carpet underlay insulation like this would seem kind of pointless?

brilliant, dude!

Biggest mistake is to turning your heating off for the night. In the morning stove have to work harder and less efficient. Set it for the comfortable temperature for you for entire 24h. Walls and floors will remain warm and you could set up lower temperature this way to feel comfortable.

Appreciate the video!

Deal with the thermal bridge, basically the raised threshold itself in spring time.

Keep in mind next time, Reflective coating is only against radiated heat, like putting vertical up a layer of aluminium sheet behind a burning stove to insulate against the wall behind absorbing radiated heat for other areas and living things to absorb and get use of it. If the surface of the membrane you use which is under compression ever touches any other substrate on other layers "conductive" heat transfer occurs, whether it reflects radiation or not. Simply put, you dont need to pay premium for reflective coating if touches anything at all.

You showed the perfect lesson on how to plane wood. I have a hand plane, but I haven't tried it out; I think I will. In the past, I owned an electric planer until it wore out. I do own an electric Bosch hand planer, but its rotating drum might need sharpening, or maybe it's worth just getting a new one. Overall, watching your lesson, I feel a bit more knowledgeable. Thanks from Los Angeles, California.

This video proves you know nothing about insulation. The fact that you believe that a meaningless performative act of a 2mil reflective barrier underneath some flooring will help the "Climate" is laughable. This is so stupid the only conclusion can be, it's intentional.

Great content mate.

Very good demonstration of what everyday folks can do for themselves ! Thank you Sir.

excellent video 🎉🎉🎉

The only thing missing is an inline switch to shut the thing off. $10 well spent to keep from crouching under that thing to shut it off every time (I’m a tall guy. Hunching over sucks)

One thing that always stuck with me, “if you going to cut it wrong, cut it long” 😆 i definitely use this one quite often 😅

Yeah this advice ruined our floor. You can here is crunching every time you walk on the floor. Bad advice

Hot air rises so the experimental won’t work

Buy a router and make a sled. Probably can be done for less than £100.

bravo

Keep your temperature the same 24 hrs per day to save money. If you lower the temperature at night, you have to spend a lot of money in the morning to heat it up again. It's cheaper to maintain it at a constant level.

The first time I used my electrical planer I ended up in A&E 😬 Thankfully the blade was only set at a fraction of a mm. But it led to some amazing blood splatter! Be careful out there, folks! 😅🩸

Thanks that gonna help

One quite important thing when building a board with multiple planks is paying attention to the direction of the fiber, and alternate, core against core, back against back, with the lines always running parallel

Nice video. I buy my lumber from a large mill. And have the tools to edge, and plane four sides. I usually buy between 100 - 200 bf of Black Walnut, and hard Maple. I have the mill join and plane one side. Saves me so much time. Then I can just use my thickness planer to get the thickness I need. I quite often use my bandsaw to tip to thickness. I realize I am lucky to have a large mill less than an hour away. But there are places that will do mill work for around $90 an hour near here. By doing this I do not need a huge jointer in my shop, which saves me space, time and money.

During one of the hottest summers in the deep south, I used this on my storm door. It may have shocked a few neighbors, but it was temporary and was wonderful! Wasn't too terribly shocking, just looked different. Lol. I placed it between the ironwork and glass. I can't tell you the difference it made in heat. I had specially painted my door in a beautiful blue ombre effect, and it saved that door, kept me from burning myself every time I opened the door, and helped keep the heat out of the house. Excellent stuff. 😊 Also, make some dropcloth curtains, ceiling to floor and covering sidelight window. Hang over the door at the ceiling level, with a decorative curtain rod or chunky wooden dowel. We close them at night and have a draft dodger on the floor in the winter. Makes a ton of difference.

Hey Pete. Ex-window dressing fitter here. The curtain over the door is great. Even better if you don’t choose an eyelet style and instead use pencil pleat or pinch pleats. The fabric stays closer to the door and doesn’t create those big ‘S’ profile gaps at the top and bottom that air can flow through easily. Also when you dress an eyelet curtain like that at either end the curtain edge should face the door/wall, not into the room. Again this will help the draft and look a bit nicer too. Keep up the great videos mate ❤

Hey Pete, you’d probably notice a bigger difference by insulating the floors in the rooms upstairs since FAR more of the heat in your lounge will be lost upwards to convection.

My grandpa was joiner/carpenter and used only hand tools most of his life, before he got his own workshop with my dad. I was learnt from my grandpa to use hand tools. Main thing he was always repeating is that fundament is to have a great workbench and learn how to use it. I used to work as joiner along my brother who is professional and qualified one. Now my line of work is completely different, but joinery and carpentry is my hobby. I mainly use hand tools, as working like that is so relaxing for me. I agree that thiknesser is very convenient if woodworking is your way of earning money. Is it the only power machine you need in your workshop? For me it's actually a good table saw with good gualidy guide and gauge. If you will also make some stencils/forms/templates you can do a ton of stuff with it. Your channel is really great and I hope you will get way more subs, because you deserve them.😊

Your small space is 3x bigger than mine :(

To since when did diy have a shop wtf i have a drill and a hand saw im I on another planet 😢😂😮🎉

Any added insulation will help. depending on how cold it gets in your area. here in the U.S. in the north it can get down to about 10 deg. F on a really cld day and down even further during the night, so very good insulation for the floor as well as walls and ceiling is a must. a good efficient heater helps as well.

I fear your heavy traffic areas will POP with use. Do tell uscome Spring .

Years ago, I had a house that was always chilly. I bought some Luan (ultra thin paneling), literaly tacked it to the wall after I covered it with insulation covered that with close out upholstery fabric. My what a positive difference. I just doubled up on rugs on the floor (all the luxury home videos did it 😅). Already had wall to wall carpet on top of which I laid large and small area rugs. Yummy and so soft. And got them off Craigs list.

Those subtle, thought-out transitions are really cool, man! Keep it up!

Try underfloor insulation in under the floorboards and between the joists

The manufacturers of this radiant barrier say it should be under the floorboards with an air gap . U should of insulated in-between the joists with rockwool and then foil on top and stapled 25mm below the top of joist . Foil then taped to wall with skirts over top. Fully sealed u would gain room temps.

Still not convinced. Most comments seem to ignore the `condensation` issue as this is not a vapour barrier.

"Just depends on what you value you most" -- well said.

I live in Texas. We have 107 degree summers and 20 degree winters. I used a product similar called Reflectix. I have several large windows that are single pane. I cut panels of Reflectix to snuggly fit in the window frames and covered them with fabric. I put these panels in the windows to stop heat or cold. It has made a huge difference in the room temperature and comfort level in the rooms. I don't know how much it has saved on utility bills, but the comfort factor has been significant .
