Leaving the nails in the weatherboards slightly proud and punching them in before painting to prevent water ingress... That's the kind of attention to detail that gets me going of a morning. LOVE IT.
It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into ruclips.net/user/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.
I was a house painter for 7 years and hated it pretty badly towards the end. I look back now and realise it was a great time in my life. But it was never the job, it was the people. Find the right guys/gals to work with and you'll love the job. Through good and bad days. Plus, as scott has shown, it's a useful skill all over the world.
Its a great lifetime skill to have. But its not a ideal job when you are 30+ and your body is aching from 6 day a week, 9 hour day shifts. Its VERY hard work. Alot of guys get "stuck" in a carpentry job and failed to take the steps in their 20's to transition into a real business. Do it, if you really want it - but its not as cracked up as it sounds or looks to be. My advice is simple, your either: -Grow your skills into a business -Move onto other construction spheres -get stuck doing "carpentry"
A TV industry friend said to me many people can use their phone etc to film but the sound scape to the vid is what makes a professional video, awesome music and sound effects
Watching the type of work you do makes me want to come and work in NZ. I have spent 20 years as a Carpenter in UK and 20 years as a Carpenter in Oz. It would be nice to finish off in NZ as the standard of work in Australia is getting worse year by year as a result of everything going over to Private Certifiers. All they are interested in is the money. The quality of the work or even the Code of the work is secondary. Nice to see NZ inspects more and takes more care of its building practice.
I can concur with that, I'm a Kiwi based in QLD, back home the consent process is incredibly rigorous compared to Aussie. A large part of that is the fall out from the leaky building nightmare of 90's thru 2000's. We have private certifiers in NZ but ultimately they are consultants for the council unlike in OZ, Brisbane City Council does not get involved with building inspections ergo wipes it's hands of liabilities.
@@mickeybowmeister1944 it really depends on your certifier. Just like anything some are great, some don't care. The certifier we use at work checks absolutely everything, and in some cases expects above code.
Private certifiers are one thing, however the poor building standards in Australia can also be directly attributed to the poor training our apprentices receive through RTO’s rather than doing a proper apprenticeship with an approved builder / carpenter like in the seventies and before. Australian Governments of all persuasions are also not helping the trade based industries turning out quality tradesmen. I was disappointed with the training many son received through an RTO, he eventually found a builder who signed him up as an apprentice and he started attending TAFE one day per week, turned his skills and learning around overnight.
@@gregfletcher3358 You are so right Greg. Competency based assessments that see apprentices signed off as qualified in two to three years is also stupid. I knew one kid signed off as a Carpenter and had hardly touched a piece of wood.
I know you have mentioned how damp it is over there, but to the extent of being unable to drive the nails in the weatherboards home!? Man, I am glad to be in Australia for one and would be glad to have you on my Reno over here for two. I wonder if that level of care is standard over there or just your perfection. Good job again brother
Can I just say that I use your videos almost like meditation? I save them for when I need to turn off the world and just be in a moment. So on top of everything I learn as a maker I can also thank you for helping me relax in madness!
Hey Scott I’m an electrician and I love your channel , you’ve really inspired me to want to get into building as well ( even though my passion is for electrical work ) I’ve grown to really appreciate the kind of work you do and would really love to lean more about it. THANKS FOR THE FIRE VIDS BROTHER!
Well, after discovering your channel a couple of weeks ago, I have binged watch from episode 1 until here. As someone who has just completed a mature age apprenticeship in carpentry, and now working towards getting my builders license, i have found them all extremely informative and entertaining. Keep them coming mate, and thanks for taking the time to make them. You're a legend!
Just an idea but.. Wouldn’t it be much simpler to spot prime your nails instead of going back to set them? Just keep a can of primer in your tool bag and give it a spray as you go. Seal the wood and give an extra bit of protection to your fastener while your at it. Similar to priming the cut ends of your siding to further protect the final install.
Are all houses in Aukland raised up from ground level? Here in Canada, generally, all houses are built on a concrete foundation, usually with a basement. I'm wondering how you would install a floor on concrete sub-floor ... or does that even exist, upside-down?
Scott, what's with the pink timber? Is it treated & given how terrible most framing is, the cost of engineered framing economic (at least it's dimensionally accurate & stable)?
I noticed you flipped the jig saw upside down when making those cuts to minimize tear out. I also noticed the marks were facing you. Pro gamer move. I wonder if the mitre saw would’ve worked too if you but the board on end and didn’t go all the way through. I forgot my jig saw and hole saws one day and i managed to do all my notches with a mitre saw and multitool. 🤷♀️😜
Why don't you flush the lap siding to door/window trim instead of face fastening with attendant gap concerns. Of course, I might have missed something. 😁
The caliber of your work is unrivaled. It's an absolute pleasure to watch a project come together like this. Every nog, every nail, every stick of cladding. Superb man
Can you do a video about how you film and edit? You have so interesting filming, editing and music. How did you pick up those skills? Is it just hard work and patience, or is there some tricks to it?
Enjoying the series Scott and I would like to ask about the scribing. I had never seen this done on any of the channels I watch and was wondering if it is specific to New Zealand. I think it looks really finished the way you do it.
Covid 19 has meant still waiting on travel restrictions to lift so my post production crew can be flown in from LA, causing delays in the final edit. It is almost done though, i like to let my creative juices stew for a few months between editing sessions.
Classic builders' solution. As someone who lays and finishes a fair few floors that made me cringe. Especially when all the framing was set up for laying it in line. Oh deary me, I won't be able to sleep now.
I think that part was in a different room once the temp wall comes down. The other side would be in line... Scott wouldn't do something like that without a reason, would ya Scott.
Thanks for sharing what you do, I love watching your videos and how you edit them. Would you kind sharing the type of nail punch you and Pardeau we’re using when punching the nails on the weatherboard?
No substitute for attention to detail, game winner, cue (insert power tool company here) turning up with a full set of battery tools, whos your money on? I'm going Hikoki
Hello guys, I see you guys always using the jigsaw upside down. If take the Bosch T101brf blade, than you can hold the jigsaw in the normal way. The teeth of that blade are sitting upside down. Greetings from a dutch carpenter.
@@jelmarhuizinga I'd honestly love to help, but I've watched so many back lately, I don't know. Pareau does a bungie jump from a bridge in the episode, that's all I can help with, sorry mate.
Hello Scott and team, Back in Nineteendixityseven or eight I would rub the face of my hammer on rough concrete, this prevents slipping. The ceiling joist blocks are a shear engineers delight. 🍕🥣🎿🍟
It's because kiwis are awsome and nothing bothers them, they very rarely take anything over serious, all the optimism from the UK had gone over to nz, living is first working is second.
Scott should do a swearing bloopers video. Pareau would be culprit number 1 followed by Scott. When we have a full crew of builders ,sparkys and plumbers on site the conversations normally start with. Fuck whose got my Hammer/Ladder/Spade . Who the fuck left that there . What the fuck ? Geeze that's fucking awesome. Oh for fucks sake , You've got to be fucking joking . It's an international language amongst tradesmen and women regardless of the language.
Team B are amateurs. Scott would’ve taped the camera to the diagonal brace before removing it. Thus freeing up both of Rich’s hands to catch the beam while adding mega-WOW footage from the camera.
On an earlier video I asked the rough cost of this renovation and said 20, 50 or $100k... I did not realise what was involved in a job like this!! (I am not a tradie)
On a job like this - 4/5 months with three highly experienced and qualified chippies? You're looking at at least $55p/hr for each. 42.5hrs p/wk. These videos have covered a four month period. I'd say conservatively the labour for this job is a about $100K. Probably more.
We live in a relatively wet climate. We punch the nails only when the painter is ready to start as we don't won't water getting into the punched hole. Standard practice here in New Zealand
Leaving the nails in the weatherboards slightly proud and punching them in before painting to prevent water ingress...
That's the kind of attention to detail that gets me going of a morning. LOVE IT.

This channel is slowly making me understand metric dimensions. Thanks Scott
I’m 17 and you’re one of the reasons I wanna become a carpenter so bad you guys make it look so fun

Not all fun mate.
A TV industry friend said to me many people can use their phone etc to film but the sound scape to the vid is what makes a professional video, awesome music and sound effects
Cool music plus good work.😎
Thanks for the tip about leaving the nails proud until painting. Never thought about the rain on that one.

good job on the corner infills ... and a nice ''half-crown'' on the battening to finish !
Nice craftsmanship on the trim for the siding!
That is some lush scribing!! Well done
At least you don't need power or batteries to punch in nail heads!! Keep up the good work. From Inverness 🏴
Can I just say that I use your videos almost like meditation? I save them for when I need to turn off the world and just be in a moment.
So on top of everything I learn as a maker I can also thank you for helping me relax in madness!
Really hearing you on this
I'm loving the extra camera shots of the windows. Your videos are always a pleasure to watch.
Great second camera team👍🏻
all of you are legends and those scribes looked amazing
this video was awesome - thank you - very entertaining. the b cam was fun to watch.
Two days in a row, blessed.
Scott Brown Carpentry is like a cool, hip brother to This Old House. Give us more quality content! Let’s hear some more stories and tips!
Loving the snooker style scriber cutting 🤣🤣
The teamwork is great!
Yes yes yes B TEAM more of them throughout the episode please

My nail set fits in my pneumatic palm nailer. It makes it super easy to set nails if there are a lot and I already have the air out.
Man that sound when the sash window was opening 😍
it is annoying as fuck lol
Camera B is going to be epic over time!
Is she any relation to Cardi B?
Just think about it your going to be editing for twice as long now with two cameras😂

Have you thought about the new C3610DRA(HAZ) 36V Brushless 255mm Slide Compound Mitre Saw? You already have the batteries from your nailers.
The B-Team FTW! They are the real studs!
Hey great work man, if I ever need a builder I will call Scott Brown.
Yo Scott, just watched a video on boxes and belts channel and you're mentioned in it for reviewing a nail gun 👍🤙
Solid video Scott, as always great to watch
You can get fully sealed double glazed sash windows... awesome!!!
I'm liking the b-team segment
Chill tunes 🤙🏼
"Basically a big letter H.... or letter I depending on how you look at it". 😂🤣. You guys are killing it!!!!
richard is doing his best.
Hahaha. The B-team making it happen! You guys are the heart, or the core or better yet the support beam of the Scott Brown Carpentry videos!
I’m happy for more content, two cameras!
Good old east Auckland . Lunn Avenue , greeting from Melbourne.

Are there any videos on putting up Ceilings? Thanks
I'm an apprentice just started and what he does @4:20 I've learnt how to do im still trash at it but getting better by day lol

Hi SCOTT
Why not get yourself a generator we have one on the van all the time gets us out of loads of problems with power issues 😉👍🏻
Cause he has me 🏋️♂️
I noticed you flipped the jig saw upside down when making those cuts to minimize tear out. I also noticed the marks were facing you. Pro gamer move.

How long til Metabo or Dewalt drop by with Multivolt/Flexvolt saws for Scott...

Everything "B" in this was great. The B team, B Camera, what else can there B.

What kind of service do they offer, both before and after purchase?
Maybe get a Gen set. probably cheaper than buying Bat saws..., and can be used for other things :)
Careful Scott, team B might usurp the throne. Next minute, "Welcome to Pareau Brown carpentry" 😂
Should have made that space in the floor into a secret compartment..
Rich is that funny 🤣 spewing he hasn’t uploaded to his channel , he’d be great to have on site everyday haha
Covid 19 has meant still waiting on travel restrictions to lift so my post production crew can be flown in from LA, causing delays in the final edit. It is almost done though, i like to let my creative juices stew for a few months between editing sessions.
Living Improvements 🤣 well that’s understandable mate hahahha I’ll let it slide because of that haha cheers mate
When patching the hole in the floor why didn't you run the boards in the same direction as the rest of the floor? It'd make the patch less obvious.
apsilonblue I did wonder this as well.

we love carpeting over our lovely hardwood
@@DiscoFang relax, its a bedroom, will most likely be re carpeted with the carpet they saved at the beginning of the job
Richard and paeru really look like kids playing when Scott isn't around really funny to watch
You should get the Hitachi cordless, drop and table saw and review it for us since you have the guns
Thanks for sharing what you do, I love watching your videos and how you edit them. Would you kind sharing the type of nail punch you and Pardeau we’re using when punching the nails on the weatherboard?
That’s would you mind sharing!
Akribis leather tools belt....or Occidental leather which one better
Very very cool custome windows

How much would this renovation cost?
Amazing
When you worked in the states what city did you work out of?
When Scott brown uploads and you get all excited to watch the video 😂
Scott, Please explain inch’s and millimeters!!!!
Hey Scott, How did you like working with the Milwaukee gear?
Hello guys,
I see you guys always using the jigsaw upside down.
If take the Bosch T101brf blade, than you can hold the jigsaw in the normal way.
The teeth of that blade are sitting upside down.

What black square is rich using?!, cant find a black metric rafter square anywhere here in oz only the imperial dewalt
Lufkin have one, Hultafors as well, i forget what mine is and will post when i have it in front of me.
I have seen black ones here trade tools.
when is comming the masters review from milwaukee - hikoki framer? hikoki - dewalt has come.
Been watchin some older episodes back over again, and it's great to see Richard has gone from being the radio winner to one of the boys. Pretty kool.

No lie, one of my favorite parts of his videos
Whaha, i was thinking the same!
“In todays exciting episode..”
Agreed. Can’t stop now. It’s an exciting signature move!
It used to be all makita tools in these videos. Milwaukee made damn sure they took care of that.
This channel gives me the impression that swearing does not exist in New Zealand.
I wonder how much a ticket is to New Zealand?
watch the last episode, where paerau was told to shut the fuck up.. soooo.. there is swearing, even when the camera is on :)
It's because kiwis are awsome and nothing bothers them, they very rarely take anything over serious, all the optimism from the UK had gone over to nz, living is first working is second.
Oh, There is swearing in NZ. Just take a look at the price of rent there. It will make you use a few choice words.

How do workmen in New Zealand know whose white van belongs to whom?
If they don't know, the robbers don't know.
Different coffee cups in the cup holders. And the stripe!

Key fobs or license plate number.

when you have your new van ?
Didn't even try and match the floor boards length-ways. Why?!
new floor going on top of it. Waste of time.
Jens Gulowsen, oh yeah I forgot about that. Why not just use ply then?
exactly the same thickness
Why did you leave the nails proud? Why does setting the nails the first time allow water to get in?
We live in a relatively wet climate. We punch the nails only when the painter is ready to start as we don't won't water getting into the punched hole. Standard practice here in New Zealand
