My mate and I were driving to the merchants in the UK today and we saw a Hiace just like yours complete with stripes; we looked at each other and said in unison, "Scott Brown here." 🤣🤣 Ps. Very sad, I know! 😜
Hey Scott I’m doing my carpentry apprenticeship now and I love watching your videos because of how much detail and quality you put in your work, I’ve learnt a lot from these videos, so thank you!
@@thelogician1934 It's honest blue collar highly skilled work. It's healthy for a man's mind to create and to problem solve. Yes I have injuries but I'd rather be a carpenter/joiner than rotting in some cubicle working for some Godless, Satanic corporation, 👍 😁 🔨 🇮🇪
Solid step future proof. We getting load of strange weather for may in England as well. You wouldn't be a carpenter if you didn't use more fixings than needed Belts and braces. Have you ever took an old skirting off say 1900 and seen the cut nails and oval nails they used for fixings. 🔨🔨🔨💪
I’m finishing a deck tomorrow and I was trying to see what idea would be good for the step and this a sign to go with this style. Thank you brother keep doing the great work, you also motivated me to start my own business so I thank you for that too
I first found your channel a few years back when you did that "How to build a deck" video and I am still impressed at the beauty of the finished product. You are a master of them!!
Aha!! Yes I’m so used to planning a solution ahead of time and that is not possible with renovations! I thought I was crazy or missing some thing until you confirmed that. Thank you!!
Great job. AND, a decent platform for when entering the house with an arm full of groceries , and being able to fumble for the key without falling off a skinny step.
Thank you for sharing great content, and passing your knowledge and experience on. There is always much to learn from watching your projects, and it helps me tackle my own home repair jobs.
4:09 like how your phone calc gives you fractions as well, MOW that’s cool, simple, but cool😀 Nice looking work on that step, looks good. Love how you tried the diff coffee makers and just had to go with a traditional press that JUST works👍🏻👍🏻 Cuz nothing like having bad coffee, ick!
When he first finished framing that step I was like wow that's gonna last. Then he came back after adding the bracing and I was like WOW THATS GONNA LAST
Mr Brown, Please don't grumble about the rain as you know Auckland needs the rain and lots of it. I love the work on the new step, looks very good, well done
I know it's just a step but it's great to see how you go the extra mile to build it right. I have a saying build it right the first time you don't have to build it right the second time.
if you were curious about the maths. Fatigue life for wood is typically around 10million cycles as long as the wood doesn't experience a force greater than 45% of its max load capacity. So definitely over-engineered but definitely better that way for sure
Nearly on 300 Episodes.. What! That's gone by so fast since the very start. I remember watching your vids when you use to film on your phone crazy! Time really does fly ay :)
If there ever comes a time when you stop doing these fab videos Scott I hope to God you set up a support group for us before you go! We'll all be bereft lol. All the best from France
Cool! Same here.... anything exterior where the end grain could get moisture, at the very least gets Tite-Bond 3. If I've got the time, I use marine epoxy to seal end grain.
Nice to see you working with the 40v platform!! I’m jealous! Good for you! Nice informative video as usual! So it does rain often in Nouvelle-Zélande. Cheers mate from Montreal
hiya m8, i was an avid fan from the beginning, then i got injured with a frozen shoulder for two years ,no bloody work, now i got inpingment syndrome of the shoulder, so now my building days are over, ive sold all my tools , and cry every day , but today i thought id see what your up to, it made me smile as always, good luck scotty and patto...... im fom london and thought id immigrate to sweden to build log cabins and shit . was doing well but hej, what you gonna do when the body sayes time.
I had to modify bottom of my late mother's stairs to include a platform for stairlift and safe low step down to floor. There was an unsafe radiator we couldn't move. I used lots of (50*50)mm frame for a massive solid dense step with bolts that wouldn't move and she was very confident with it. Over-engineered? Maybe. But can't be too careful and she loved it
Very nice little project. Regarding those mitered corners-bad move, sir. It’s not “if” those joints will open/fail, it’s “when.” That joint will absolutely, positively, 100% fail on an outdoor project. The better choice would be to skip an end board altogether, or if you wanted a “picture frame” look, use a bread board approach. But even with a bread board end, don’t use any joinery, just establish a nice uniform gap at all sides & ends. Wood ALWAYS moves (expands/contracts) and outdoor wood moves a LOT.
Should I get a impact driver? I have a drill it's good, but switching time adds up when puting something together when I drill pilot holes. It's doesn't make it impossible, which is the only reason I haven't got one yet. Look forward to the pro's advice.
Nice steps you are making! Interesting you use Titebond III in a very exposed place, is PE glue too difficult to work with? Thanks for the video. Cheers, David.
I know everyone in NZ calls them stringers, but the side of a stair is a string. A stringer is a horizontal member on it's edge, fixed to a wall to support joists or rafters. Yeah, I'm that guy.
You may indeed be "that guy"... but the kind that makes incorrect assertions on YT. I've been in and around construction, building and renovation, including design and spec for 50 years. The term string seems to be a vague misstating (solecism?) of the term stringer. "Stringer" refers to any ancillary horizontal or angled component that operates functionally in structural framing as a bearer. Which is why they're called stair stringers. Unless you can point to a reference of "string" in stair construction.
Quick question. I know you use the pink timber that is treated indoors, but it seems that your framing for the step is just regular timber. Is it treated (that you can't see) or is it ok to use non treated in this location? Here in the US that close to ground and with snow we would use the treated lumber to add to the longevity of the stair to guard from rot. You do a great job, i enjoy the vids keep them coming.
Feel like the production stepped up a notch on this video. Good work. Disappointed we didn't get to see the final product with the replaced facing on too.
Is it common to use deck tape on deck joists in New Zealand? As well built as this is, I kinda expected to see the top of the cantilevered framing to be taped to help prevent eventual rot.
Have you ever tried using butyl tape? i use roof tar as a cheaper bulk version but its far messier, aslong as you dont get it on the visual surface the excess can be trimmed after it dries (but takes days hence why people use the tape)
Beautimus! I use the 10 inch cordless makita miter saw and like it more as time goes by. Have you ever considered using one? I remember you trying the 12 Inch version.
Enjoyed the vid. Just curious, how much does that eraser cost in NZ? In that series, that size will be JPY 100 for one I think here in Japan. On again, off again with the rain... Not sure if its better than a constant drizzle or a sudden downpour.
Haha I wouldn't be surprised if that eraser is probably close to $10 from the rip-off merchants here in NZ. But ooooh it has Japanese writing on it! We always buy tools in the hardware stores in Japan when there, the hand tools are comparatively crazy-cheap. Best kind of souvenir shopping.
There’s always something to learn from another exciting episode of Scott Brown carpentry.
u gay bro?
New Zealand weather looks similar to Irish weather, at least it never gets boring- there'll be another season along in 15 minutes.
😆...... true story 🇮🇪
Kiwi and have lived in Galway......Ireland is wet wet but still wonderful!
Which also looks much like Texas and South Dakota weather. I always chuckle when I see the comment about “It’s (insert place here), wait 15 minutes and the weather will change.” Seems that’s not that unique of a feature. :-)

I’ll give you a tip mate, buy Milwaukee cordless gear.

Solid step future proof.
We getting load of strange weather for may in England as well.
You wouldn't be a carpenter if you didn't use more fixings than needed
Belts and braces. Have you ever took an old skirting off say 1900 and seen the cut nails and oval nails they used for fixings. 🔨🔨🔨💪
Love that you router the abutting edges, pitched it to my boss and we did do it on one job. 😁🙌👌👍
The step is like a bespoke piece of furniture. Serious effort and attention to detail
Good to see you're still remembering your old man's lesson of cleaning your work.
I learned from the best!
Solid carpentry there and great tip on wood glue as a sealer on the cuts, works perfectly.

Never thought about using the crawl space for wood storage.

Wet & forget would do absolute wonders for so many of the driveways and roofing shown in this video around the neighbourhood!
What’s wet and forget?
Love the quality of your work and I love the over engineer everything
Absolutely beautiful! Getting ideas for my own place now!
Above and beyond. True artistry
Looking good Scott!

Hard to believe that you're still improving your videos ... I've always been impressed but better is always better!
Great job. Very creative solution.
As always the finished job looks very nice.
at 11:46 you might find a 90 degree drill bit adapter to be a handy way to deal with spaces like that where a drill won't fit.
Beautiful steps, a work of art.
a true coffee lover !!!!!!! say goodbye to the Makita coffee maker welcome Aeropress nice !
It's a pleasure to watch your videos just team work 😊
Brilliant work, as always! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!
Have a look at würth decking screws(ASSY®PLUS A2) best looking screws around and no need to pre-drill
God that timber decking looks beautiful.
Beautiful timber for sure!
Great hints embedded in this one thanks!
thanks Scott, i have just that problem to fix .... really helpful
The kettle switch finally captured on RUclips. Another first by Scotty Brown! Woohoo!
Haha
Dude your like a true craftsman the quality of your work is beautiful

Another interesting episode Scott,thanks for the latest video.👍👍👍
Looking reeaallly good. My house needs one. Cheers Scot
Nothing like watching SBC laying down some good deck
Nice steps you are making! Interesting you use Titebond III in a very exposed place, is PE glue too difficult to work with? Thanks for the video. Cheers, David.
It's the fact that Scott does a small round over on all of the pieces he's cut, the extra care make a whole difference on the projects
Thanks for the B roll at the end!
Such dedication.
All day ....no smoko time.
Just coffee on the run without a bun.

A stringer is a horizontal member on it's edge, fixed to a wall to support joists or rafters.
Yeah, I'm that guy.
In the states, a stringer is the member that supports the stairs/ treads. A "ledger" is attached to a wall to support rafters or joist.
You may indeed be "that guy"... but the kind that makes incorrect assertions on YT. I've been in and around construction, building and renovation, including design and spec for 50 years.

Im a carpenter living in England and as much as the houses and woodwork are alot different, I see the weather is very similar sometimes 😂
looks brilliant

Looks like an awesome tool. Where can I pick one of those up in NZ? Cheers

i get the relatable i drink coffee too bit but come on man your a carpenter! and a good one at that. do your thing scott!
Looks great!
Superb job Scott .. 👍🏼
That house looks like it was in desperate need of some Scott brown carpentry 🪚.
lovethe cantilever idea. might have to try it out myself

also what a sexy step
