I'm glad I'm not the only person who puts off projects like this for years! Nice job!
I love knocking those pieces loose. It's so satisfying! Glad you got to check that project off the list!
Peter Brown Yeah that's the fun part, if any of my kids are around when I'm working on a project like that I let them knock the pieces out and they are always amazed.
15 YEARS!?! And I thought that I procrastinated! lol Nice work.
John Conklin Ha : ) yeah John went by in a flash... Thanks
No kidding!
I guess if it didn't work so well it wouldn't have gone unnoticed for so long. Looked pretty solid when taking it out.
It looks like you spent a considerable amount of time on this video. It really looks great, and it helped me that you showed every angle. Thanks! Very thorough :)
tf2heavy2 Thank you
Agreed!! Excellent video!!!! Clear and easy to understand!
Great easy-to-understand video.....just what I was looking for....! Keep making great videos.
Good Vibe........limited amount of yamming, nice. Short and simply spot one. Thank you for that.
I always look forward to your videos.Thanks for posting.
Scott L Thanks Scott
I was searching RUclips for lap joint work, and guess who I stumbled across......of course. Awesome as usual Jon!!
love the location of your shop :) more power to you
!
great video! another bright idea.
nice job... both sold rapidly and glad to see.
I realise the vid is a few years old now but i just watched it and want to thank you for making an easy to follow vid, cheers mate.
Thank you for the good explanation! Also thank you for letting me know that I need to buy a circular saw!
Nice video, thanks for sharing your technique.
Great trick...thanks for sharing!
you explained that just rite for me, thank you
Amazing!
Would it be a good idea to coat the sawn and prepared timber with wood preserve coating before fitting it? Just to give maximum protection against the elements. Thanks for a great video.
Great video! Thx
Nice job
Good video! Will be using this technique for a treehouse
Thank you! I've been having a heck of a time trying to notch a 2x4 for a wooden gate frame. Without a table saw and a deep enough blade, it has been misery. I gave up until now. Love the "several cuts" followed by hammering them out, etc. great idea. Thanks again!!!
+kimbybean001 Great! I'm glad the video was a help, thanks for the comment.
Jon Peters Art & Home - .....And I did it your way. IT WORKED PERFECTLY! Thanks again and thanks for your reply. 👍
I did something similar but instead, I used two 2x4's One cut to lap on the inside of the rim joist and the post. Then I cut one to butt the rim joist and the post. Used exterior construction glue and nailed them together. Inspector bought off on it and even commented that he'd never seen it done that way but felt it was as strong as a one 4x4 cut in the method you described in the video.
Although yours is more pleasing to the eye.
Good info...thanks for sharing
Great day to work outside
Useful thank you. First thought was wouldn't you want to create a pocket in the post as well so the bolts are less likely to experience shear and instead the wood is bearing the majority? Or is it already since the load vector is going effectively along the grain of the board? If the load vector is inline with the support then it is also trying to push down (which is what we want on the post anyways)?
Or does none of that matter because all it's really doing is maintaining a good square and thus is almost completely in tension or compression?
Thanks for sharing this video. I like the simplicity of it 😊
I am sorry, I am new to woodworking. What is the name of the hand saw you use to finish the cut?
... and another 15 years before it gets painted!
;p
CodeFoxAus : )
Just curious if those countersinks were too deep thus weakening the joint, or this only secures the horizontal movement so that bolts are not under much stress?
Looks great, nice shots and camera work as always!
Andrea Arzensek Thanks Andrea, I think it will be ok but you make a good point, maybe just a bit to deep.
Correct. No need for counter sinks on a lap joint.
Hi Jon Peters, I want to build a deck like yours, do you have a tutorial on it? Or blueprints?
Nice job, should last forever.
excellent
Thank you, now i know how to reinforce the patio i know i will never have.
Ok great, I hope you make a video of it
Thanks for the video. What is the point of using a 4x4 if you cut it down to the size of a 2x4 at the ends? If it breaks it will be at one of the bolt holes where you took away an awful lot of wood leaving a vey thin spot where the bolt is.
The half of the lap that rests on the inner surface of the post allows the force of the weight of the deck to be transferred to the "heart" of the post. That adds much more stability than having a 2x4 nailed to the side of the post, where most of the forces bypass the post, except those transferred by the fasteners.
The half of the lap that is bolted to the side of the post adds stability by keeping the brace from twisting.
Hello Jon,
First off nice videos by the way. I have a questions- im looking to finish my basement any thoughts on if I should go with metal or wood studs? i live in NJ. Also any chance of making a video on unfinished space?
Not sure about the studs, I need to finish my basement also so maybe in the spring.
I have a lot of 2x2 approz 4ft in lengh would this joint work well to join two lenghs?only for frame work for a chicken coop...help very appreciated. Thx
Have you ever tried those GRK structural screws?
Nice job John, those treated boards don't chisel very well do they lol, have done several porches that same way..
Randy Whittemire Thanks Randy, no they don't and that beam was so wet also.
Jon Peters Art & Home king of
nice
Nice video
andremetras Thanks
As I understand it, isn’t the strength and benefit of a half lap joint in the gluing surface yet I notice you didn’t use any glue?
just curious, why didnt you cut all of the way through with the miter saw?
Nice job on the joints. Google "Polish Plane". Pretty neat technique.
I honestly got really excited when I saw that you have the same Japanese pull saw that I do.
What brand of saw is that?
What do you call that handsaw you used to cut the end of 4x4 abd what brand is that? - I was wondering if Sawzall can be used for cutting half lap joints?
I would like to get into the custom framing business, I purchased a couple book and watched videos on the topics but need a little help. I will be using a CNC. Can you help me with the basics of frame making?
nice one!
Thanks Paul
love your videos, jon! when predrilling the holes using 3/16 bit for 3/8 lag bolt, did you feel that 1/4 bit would have made the hole a little too big and not snug enough for the bolt?
Thanks Ming, yes that was my thought
Does the joint loose some strength by countersinking the lag bolts? For a project of that size I don't know that having the bolt heads stand proud of the joint either looks bad, or is a hazard. Thanks for sharing this interesting video.
I don’t think much, thanks
In this application i wouldn't countersink. There's only about 1.25" of wood left and id prefer to have more.
2:29 "Now I wouldn't walk underneath it"... says standing underneath it. :)
Harry was the one who told me to google Woody Hyezmar. And yes, the woodworking book is still available.
This man doesn't use a impact driver. You can tell he is old school, which is a good thing.
I was thinking the same thing. I actually have the old dewalt drill he is using.
But it was 5 years ago. Impact drivers have come a long way since then.
M C I have 3 of the same exact drills and still use them today.
why not stagger the lag bolts?
Another thing that caught my eye is your De Walt saw - the electric motor is on the right side and the blade is on the left where you can see it spinning and cutting. Your left hand holds the workpiece against the guide rail. Most hand held circular saws seem to be the other way around where you cannot observe the blade cutting. Any comments anybody about this?
Cordless saws are one way. Main-powered saws mostly the other. Go figure.
3:50 oddly satisfying
I know I'm three years late coming to this, but right?? The cuts on this end are so uniform!
you don’t need those big ugly braces. just put one long piece 1x4 from inside corner to opposing outside corner. clean look and very strong.
Nice job
But you should have staggered the bolt holes to avoid a straight line split in the timber👍
PRO!
I think that after 15 yrs. I would say what was there is good enough.
Those were actually counterbored holes, not countersunk
I'll start by removing old the bracing... (crashing sound and video goes black...)
You should have been wearing gloves while dealing with PT. And how come you didn't stagger your bolt holes? It would have been a much stronger joint, and also you should have used some outdoor caulking in the joints so no moisture can get in.
Why the hell don’t you guys in the US switch to metric for timber measurements. So much easier and quicker.
When you cut treated timber you should brush apply preserver as these areas will not be treated.
I am subscribing to the channel just PLEASE anchor down your work and put both your hands on the tool. Some of us have lost a few limbs along the way due to being too comfortable with our power tools
I don't see the need for this. Was your rim too small? If 2 nails held it for 15 years this isn't doing anything.
15 years to do this project?. My wife is on me if I don't finish a project in a few days.
If you want to make woodworking just use woodprix handbooks.
reused the lags? cheaping out
fuck your videos are interesting to watch i aint even a woodworker
baums5808 Thanks man
HOW NOT TO CUT WOOD AT 3:37: No clamp. Free handing the ripsaw. Holding the wood with your hand? Jesus. Wait until that kicks back at you one of these times. It takes 10 seconds to put two clamps on that piece of wood and not put yourself into danger. I have no problem with you hurting yourself, but don't make a video showing OTHER PEOPLE that this is how you do this, like you are some kind of expert. You are putting other people in harm's way. Fail.
