You’ve got a million people who love you as a person and are interested in your well being!!!
Not a mention of a million subscribers! That's huge.
If any channel deserves a huge following, I’d say this one does. Kind of restores my faith in humanity if I’m to be honest. Scott is leaving invaluable information for endless generations to soak in.
I really can’t get enough of his narration, never patronizing; always clear and concise!
It really is a special milestone. I’ve been eagerly anticipating it.
That’s because he doesn’t care. He’s not here for the modern gimmick of views. He’s here to share knowledge and expertise
hear, hear!!! congrats lads on the 1 million subs! well deserved... I've been onboard myself since the ladder safety video way back
That's what she said
After Kens video was posted all I see is a Legend sitting in that chair now. 100% Master Craftsman. God Bless
Respect to these men . Still got it. I like how he narrates with patience. I Like to grow up to this expectations not grumpy all the time
Essential craftsmen videos are so informative,, highly technical..But very informative..
The best part about your channel is you stick to the craft - no obnoxious product endorsements, begging for subscribers, rants, etc. Just showing a job well done. Keep up the excellent work!
Man, I love craftsman style. Bold, brawn and clean.
Some people might not appreciate the planning, skill and experience that goes into this level of quality. I probably don't even pully appreciate it to the full level. But its great seeing you guys take such pride and care in the quality, appearance and function of your work. (from an experienced but still novice finish carpenter)
I've been in carpentry for 23 years and your channel teaches me things every new episode. That said, my biggest peeve with both carpenters and painters, especially on new construction is not priming both sides of the wood. You beg for peeling and other moisture issues on the finished product. I just yanked off 1360 ft of 10 inch(8) cedar siding and replaced it with new material. Primed it on both sides with a topcoat of Benjamin Moore stain and we're going to do the west and east sides next year. The front never gets any sun and never peels. The house like several I have rehabbed over the years was built with raw unprimed cedar and stained raw so the moisture inside the house pushes off the coatings. Even had one builder tell my client that hous wrap would make his house explode due to pressure because his wok is so tight lol. He didn't prime an entire 6000 ft cedar home either and they've paid me to reside that entire house. It's a disgusting waste of trees. OK, dismount high horse and continue your excellent videos and work.
I really hope that who buys this home will appreciate how much you put into building it
Track saw and tappered columns are a match made in heaven.
Over a MILLION subscribers! Congratulations Scott!
Nice jig for cutting the tapered columns. It's actually a simple and consistent way to make nice high quality wood items. It's called a sled in the wood working world. That all turned out beautiful!
I think I would have laid these out and cut them with my track saw, that way you wouldn't have to worry about the bow. But his results came out great and the finished product looks amazing.
Your craftsmanship never disappoints!!!! Thanks for sharing your skills & knowledge!!
Thanks for doing the columns right! Too many of these homes are using plastic columns these days.
No adhesive on the tapered columns boys?! I know you said glue was unnecessary but I think with those pacific climates eventually those joints are gonna open
I would have gone with a 2x2 screwed to each corner for rigidity and something for the nails to grab onto. Plywood kinda sucks for holding power on its edge. I also would have reinforced the fronts of each around midway up for the possibility of flagpoles being installed on them.
Lose all the wrap and use a bigger column - sand and stain the REAL wood. This crap will fall apart in a few years.
@@RRaucina it'll be painted and it's barely exposed to any real weather. I think it will last more than a few years. But it's possible some warping or gaps opening up will happen inside of ten years
I agree I think it should've been glued.
If you had glued those with non foaming construction adhesive, they might not open up ! I don’t even know if those boards will stay laminated in your local climate.
0:00 aaaah yes, the music i came for
0:10 AAAAAH YEEES, the voice I need in my life
Keep up all of this good work. Couldnt love the show more.
Really looking forward to seeing your color choices for all materials and trims.
Always thoroughly enjoy these videos. Well done.
You had... RAAAAAIN! Boy, haven't seen that in ages!
My shoulders are burning just watching this.
Once again helping the next generation to be better than we were yesterday. Thank you
Long-time subscriber, here. Found your channel while looking for concrete finishing techniques (you poured the pad for the garage of the spec house-- very good info!). Went back and watched all the vids on building spec house-- powered through them all, and set notifications so I could see everything after that. Anyway... was dearly hoping you would include clear instructions on how to determine angles for tapered columns (and maybe how to cut them if you don't own a table saw). Wanted to build some, once, but no amount of pondering in my ignorant mind contributed to anything like an answer. In a word: I was (and remain) CLUELESS! Beveled edges: totally get that. Center line to help determine angles... lost me there. Fast-motion video as you cut the plywood: left me in the dust. Virtually every other video you've posted fully explains what and why you're doing what you're doing (which is why I love your channel!). This one, though, left me "high and dry". Can you possibly re-purpose some of the video you've already shot, slow it down, and over-dub with some helpful information? Would massively appreciate it!
As a rough carpenter this video is great thank you !
I am still learning from my watching your videos. Thanks! And you keep up the good work.
Not sure if I'd agree with no glue but absolutely brilliant content as usual
Thanks
You did an amazing job on those column wraps. The curve, with a bevel, would take serious precision to look good. Well done my friend.
great work is contagious beautiful job Scott
This series is just epic.
This house and this series is his greatest creation
The way you accomp;ish these tasks is noy just interesting, it's 'enchanting'! I derive great joy in observing your "Good Work!" Much obliged, Scott.
oh man i like this guy ..hanging lid is fun ! i could do t and g all day long . early 1900s style .common frank loyd wright style ..timeless and feel of solid
Always wanted to build tapered columns, seems much easier after watching, thanks for the video
Beautiful work, nice to see someone close to home so successful on RUclips also. Keep up the good work and helping over a million subs learn the trade. Hopefully I bump into you some day and get to shake your hand, I'm in that area a lot on the way to Grants Pass.
Hello from Northern Michigan and thanks for another great upload!
10:12 there's my required dose of Ken!
This is one of my favorite games to play on Essential Craftsman videos.
I'm guessing Ken is the grand-sire of all these people? Really don't know (also didn't know his name was Ken, until now).
@@crustycurmudgeon2182 Ken Jordan, a friend and fellow craftsman. His backstory is at ruclips.net/video/q8LerObhzlE/видео.html
@@lucienve Ah! Thank you, I'll check that out!
dear lord, ive watched a boat get built over the last 7 years and watched this house get built over the last year or so..... cant believe theyre both nearly done. time really does fly.
You Sir are my Bob Vila, and I honestly can't think of a finer compliment for such a craftsman.
Great Comment I concur
I used to do columbs this same way but ever since owning/using a Makita Track saw, I’ve saved about 75% of setup time not to mention all the other uses I find for it on the job site. Definitely a nice touch. Looking great!
Wow. Talk about craftsmenship! The thought, the dedication, the skill, the mental focus on creating those columns! Heck, the entire house! I know what it takes from watching and helping my master carpenter grandfather. It’s something today’s generation doesn’t have but a few of. I hope you have been a mentor to young men! We need more of them!
I have done exactly one set of similar columns, and I was doing them for my own home, which certainly changes the time management requirements. I did a few things differently from Scott, the biggest difference being that whenever I build anything going outdoors out of wood, I prime both sides of the wood. More work, but I don't have to look at wood that has been distorted by moisture seepage, ten years down the road.
Is what I do necessary? Not in a million years would I think that I know better than the Essential Craftsman, but neither am I ready to change what has worked for me for years.
I did that for the drywall in my bathroom.
Back-priming is never a bad idea. I'm not a pro - I sell medical equipment, but I'm compelled to constantly build, and I try to always back prime, especially because I'm primarily using pine that has a tendency to cup like crazy.
I work in a leisure centre, and in the changing rooms the MDF architrave (casing i think Americans call it) around all the doors is exploding where moisture has got in. It looks terrible, and definitely supports your idea of back priming.
@@Matt_Alaric Ah, good; someone agrees. Now, I wonder what Americans would call a leisure center, 'cause I don't know what one is.
@@dandavis4157 Gym? Sports centre? Something along those lines i would guess.
You guys need to add this episode to the Spec House playlist.
If you lost your drill, I know where you left it. 9:36
Could have added a secret compartment to one of the columns....
@@JDeWittDIY it wouldn't be a secret if he showed it here in this video ;)
Watched every single video of the build & learnt a lot 👍 love the music too! I am
not a builder, I am not from the USA & the way things are done here in India, is very different. But there is one thing; I will always know where to look up things if I need to
It will be a very lucky family who will live in that house
Keep up the good work !
Thank you for passing on your knowledge.
Amazing workmanship as always!
This man sanded outdoor porch panels just giving it that extra detail , MAVERICK !
Watching you nail that overhead I saw your grandson in your face. I never realized he looks just like you!
So much!
nice work E.C. Thanks for sharing
A true seasoned carpenter! I love the shop table saw you brought in for your rips
Congrats on the milestone of a million subs.
Man! What work you do, I have watched this whole series in the last few days and I am blown away...Amazing stuff!
Oh, hate to be that guy but the Tapcon's anchoring the column mounts were 1/4" size Screw's...Which requires one size down drill bit which is a 3/16 drill bit....They are not 3/16" Tapcon's....Boy, do I love those things! As an electrician who prefers them over Rawl plugs, Sleeve anchors, etc...I notice a lot of people do NOT know how to install them and end up impacting the screw in half! LOL
Something about your videos are relaxing!
I could listen to him talk about almost anything. The guy has a speaking tone and cadence that is just as pleasant as ive heard. I bet his kids and grandkids loved him reading the bedtime stories to them! He is also a pretty good little carpenter/fabricator too.....LOL awesome skills all around
I pick up so many good tips just by watching you work. Things you don't even mention, but are real helpful.
Thanks guys.
Be Blessed !
Here in BC Canada we use Crezone or MDO for column collars, its also pre primed or back painted before install. Great Channel man.
Those columns really make that porch look awesome
I’m surprised you didn’t use Hardy Board panels instead of shop plywood. We have the same column detail on our house with Hardy panels. Rain? Hah! Sun? Hah, hah! I like that the column detail has the same weather impermeability as the siding.
Almost there.
What an incredible journey so far.
I really appreciate the work that went into the tapered columns.
Congrats on the 1 Million Subscribers! Not only do you do great building but you build a great channel!
I’ve been renovating my basement. Your channel, knowledge, insights, and expertise has been really beneficial in helping me get the best results I’m capable of. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful job as usual!
Thank you so much for your videos, ive watched them all. CONGRATULATIONS on the 1 million subscribers, love from
Chile
1000000!!! Good job making it in the modern age. 👍
Your columns look real good. I've been hoping to see this video for a long time, I got excited when I saw your video putting in the concrete block work around the base of the column and now this bevelled tapered wrap around finish. I think you captured the craftsman style very well. Thanks we're all your videos.
This man is easily the most knowledgeable carpenter, among almost everything else when it comes to building trades I've come across.
i do this with white 4x8 plastic board and pvc trims from home depot. I lay it all out on the sheet, cut it square with a circular saw, then run it on a router table with a lock miter bit. to install i just nail it at the top and glue the bottom, with some spakling and rounding the edges together with a screw driver or any round piece of metal. it looks great
Whomever buys this house will probably never appreciate the true craftsmanship that went into this house
Or what it really could have been had budget not been so tight at the end stages. Well built but cost cutting out many enhancements that could have made a huge difference
I think it should stay in the essential craftsman family
@@andyennis1414 they're going to need more land
Great house for retired couple
Our small family no yard maintenance
@@613kc that’s a good point. I’d love to see it in person but I’m all the way on the side of the country 😅😂
Finally. A builder that allows stuff like this to happen... I prefinish mine 1 coat as well and prime all the way around to seal it better. As for nail holes... We skim putty those
I have such a warm feeling when watching this series. Mahalo, and Aloha,
Matt
I plan on doing the same craftsman style column wraps for my porch but will use lock miter corner joints via a lock miter router bit. I'll assemble three sides and add the forth after placing around the posts. Getting tight miter joints without exposed fasteners is what I'm looking for because I'm using clear vertical grain cedar where I've already glued up the 3/4" 1x8's. A track saw comes in handy instead of a table saw for cutting the pieces before running through the router table.
Hope I don't screw up anything. That wood is expensive!
In the vernacular of Craftsman design the "tapered" columns are referred to as Battered. Fun to make!
That took a ton of thought and energy to pull off nicely, great job!!!
Don’t know why I enjoy seeing Ken, smoking his pipe and looking so relaxed, so much, but i do.
Amazing work.
Nice to see your friend helping you out with the front porch columns👍
And nodding off on camera at the very end! 😆
Here’s a guy that is a wealth of knowledge and is just doing what he loves.
I've been super busy and missed allot of episodes..... I need to do a little binge watching and get caught up. Thanks for putting these videos together!
Nicely finished😎
Think you just saved the day for us! We where looking to do something very similar, but I couldn't pin down which route I wanted to take. Thanks!
This is next level
Great work
Beautiful job as always. A trim carpenter that does this for a living might have had a better approach but for a generalist to be able to pull that off and have the joints all look that type is truly impressive. I still would have glued those joints though :).... Sure it's messy and you have to protect the caps, but in the end it's bulletproof. Much more important it's going to protect that china ply from delaminating.
Probably the best built house in America.
Nice! I love the blocks you use to help install the ceiling lid! Learn something new everyday!!🙌
Beautiful job, thats an azing looking house.
Got to love the oregon rain
One mmmmilllllionnnn subscribers! That's awesome and very deserving. I love the tapered columns. I own an 1885 model that had them. When I rebuild the porch I'll recreate them! Right now I have temporary porch waiting foundation replacement. One thing at at a time!
Looks great!, If you find yourself building these again you should give an L fence on your table saw a try it would enable you to make a template and save you some time ..
Really Nice Sir! I have been contemplating some tapered columns for my neighbor. He has helped me with many projects around my house over the 25 years we've been neighbors 😃
Be nice to surprise he and his wife with these (they are going camping for two weeks)
Thank You for the excellent video!
You said- didnt use glue. I would have used titebond on miters. Nailed liked you did. Glue is your friend on joints.
Don't need it, it's just decorative.
@@mikeznel6048 It's only decorative but adding some construction adhesive would have ensured that the joints could never pull apart, which would look bad.
@@josiahmartinez4584 Show us your video of how to do it correctly! :)
@@josiahmartinez4584 you got no right to talk to this man like that
Unless you got a Channel with a million subscribers
Keep up the great work mate
beautiful as always.
I like the extra set of hands screwed in between boards
Like a finish carpenter I worked for used to say, there's no carpentry mistake that a competent painter can't fix.
Those look great!
I work on engines but I would love to have carpentry skills like this. There’s just something so impressive and satisfying to shape wood into something so beautiful. 👍
Great episode!
Beautiful hard work
