Hi~, I am a builder in Korea. Since I'm planing to go to NZ. I'm waching your RUclips videos and learning from them. Thanks! I became your fan, looking forward to your next video.
Han I live in Seoul and would like to do some carpentry in my spare time... do you know any where that I can do this? I am from New Zealand and really miss the opportunity to work with my hands.
So cool to hear this brother! I’m from Burntisland, born in Kirkcaldy living in Edinburgh and also have my own carpentry/joinery business. Been watching you a while and had no idea!
All my grandfather's brothers moved to Australia from Greece doing the same job as you . My grandfather opened a furniture shop in Athens and stayed in the northern Hemisphere. In the 50's it took 40 days by boat to reach Australia ( airplanes were prohibitively expensive for the majority of the population)
Story-time with Scott Brown Carpentry! HECK YEAH! Great video! Really enjoyed the back-story, editing, soundtrack, AND carpentry. Watching an experienced builder is invaluable as I get to see the order of operations towards how the project is put together in addition to any tricks/tips on how to make a quality piece.
Loved the truck tire on the power cord. Nice to know that yellow cords are not discernible against black top in NZ in as much as here in the States. I guess we have that working for us. Keep up the great videos. 👍👍
I can tell you the weather today in Edinburgh is exactly the same! Been chucking it down all day 🌧. Your not missing much ! Keep up the great work and maybe see you back over here one day 👍🏻
The good 'Ole 4 cylinder tradie's van. Never see that used here in Canada. I came to Canada from Australia 13 years ago. The go to trades vehicle here is a V8 or diesel pickup truck.
I live in Kirkcaldy, about 5 minutes from Dunfermline. Been watching your channel for a while now and did not know you had ties to here. Crazy! Small wee world. Class videos mate, keep up the good work 😎
According to Billy Connolly you should be living in Dunedin, where the sky is grey and the weather wet like Scotland. If it makes you feel any better about the rain, as I am listening to NZ play in the cricket World Cup, it is 17c in London today (in the bloody summer)
Now I know why I took a sudden liking to your channel lol being from the highlands myself and now living just outside Edinburgh, nah only joking mate it's not the only reason you have great content :)
Love the vids. Back in the workshop for a few days myself. Thinking of heading to NZ, but also thinking 45 might be a bit old for this paddy to go travelling again. Seems like your country is looking for a lot of carpenters/builders though
Mom's Scottish family did similar. She was born here though. I was born here but grew up in England. Came back when I was 16. I didn't choose that, which is why this video got my attention. Now I have a half/half accent that drifts depending how much football and UK TV I watch. Kiwis call me a Pom and English think I am an Aussie. Norwegians at sea thought I must have Norge blood and the Russians thought I was Russian when I first joined the ship. It has taken a long time for NZ to feel like home. Only returning from two years in Canada 2016 did I feel like I was home. Only recently referred to myself as a Kiwi. Mostly Welsh and Scot, with the rest being English and I have an Italian surname. My step dad had a similar thing. They were Greek and moved to London when he was a kid. He had a hard time due to Greeks from Cyprus having quite dark skin. He got to see Clapton etc play in the late 60s. Then he jumped on a hippy bus in Amsterdam and drove half way across the globe. Ended up in Aussie and then here. Next thing I knew I was in primary school in London and having to learn very quickly how to fight (school was always fights and on the way home. Rough area and impossible to avoid 8 year old skinheads etc). I worked at sea so basically my whole life became the so called big OE. I recently became disabled by spinal injury. I can walk but it is really hard and causes nasty flair ups. Physio at hospital has been for two years so far, but they have now said i will not recover. I so far have managed to defy my GP's wheelchair prediction. Gone from making lots of money at sea to needing a benefit and lots of treatment via public healthcare. Living at sea I would come ashore and buy a plane ticket to travel somewhere new. Two decades of the travel bug and the skydiving bug before that. Basically retired early at 50, but hoping to get fit again enough to work part time at least. Thinking about a tinkering business I can do from home because traveling is the hardest thing for me, plus I am half way thru an arts degree. If i was in UK I would be worried. I have read about paraplegic and completely blind people being declared fit for full time work by some dodgy company that is hired to do assessments for the government there, so having had bad luck I am fortunate it was here where you are not ruined by health or injury problems like in some countries. Loan insurance for my Jaguar wriggled out of paying though. Lost the car even though it was mostly paid off. They swooped to take it before I had a chance to sort out ACC and government assistance. I was not as angry i would expect. Shrugged shoulders and thought about what to do next. NZ has lots of good sides. Downside is it is a small market and lots of things you might need have to be imported. In some ways the USA and Canada would be really easy to start up a business making something because stuff is cheap and easy to get and there are so many customers (I am interested in building guitar amps, but the parts are impossible to get here). I got really interested in making vodka. It is really hard to get it pure and not have odor or obvious flavor like vodka is supposed to be. I managed to get as close to mastering it as was possible with my equipment, but i don't drink and do not feel right about selling it (my nephew got some and I worried he would crash his car after drinking my vodka). That business idea was shelved. I was just interested in the science. How yeast works and then distilling is so interesting. Whiskey done right is harder. Need expensive oak barrels and peat etc. I also did thin mash moonshine made from corn and sugar. Coming up with a new plan and finishing my degree is on hold because on top of the injuries I have not been well, but I usually bounce back. Not sure what i will do, but making amps and guitar pedals is the thing that interests me most. Musos never have money though. But we can sell all over the world these days via online shopping. Not sure why i am saying. Sometimes its good to write what you want to do and let it be known i guess -- plus a few times when i have written something people have commented how they related to it and it was helpful or something (i also like writing even though I have an issue with reading and writing that makes it a little tricky).
Nice story. My parents moved us out of Liverpool when I was 1 year old. Didn't ask my opinion either. Then I buggered off to the US in 1986 at age 21 and haven't looked back. Funny old world.
Great story telling and working while you're doing it 👍 I am often confused by people that move so far, I can understand it for work but I have friends and family, also if you've been going a while, being established goes a long way for getting new business. I guess though I have a self employed way of looking at things. Keep up the good work and fair play for going back to Scotland for some familiar weather (lol) and for seeing how things are done there 👌
hahaha so you`re a mole. thanks or sharing man. recently subbed. awesome job you`re sharing. i`m on the trades too and learning a lot from you. take care. pete (ps the uncle no no no priceless :D)
As you know it always rains in Auckland, not necessarily where you are but usually somewhere in Auckland. I lived there about ten years, much drier in KalgoorlieBoulder now ....better for older people in the workforce .... don’t regret leaving .....
When you said "aucklands great " i laughed and lost my drink. ...but then you clarified that you meant the building industry... fair enough carpenters do get paid more in auckland i suppose
@Andrew Whyte Think Aidan is referring to jobs in Auckland paying way more than in any other city in NZ. I live in Hamilton, and my friends work in the same industry in Auckland- the pay gap is significant. :)
Michael Mcleod i dont love a single thing about that place. . Only time im happy is going over the bombay hills and seeing auckland in my rear visiom mirror
Aye!! Scott brown me and my bro saw you in new Lynn last week at the bunnings lights haha your van sticks out like dogs balls mate 😁😁 You definitely need some shirts made up for giveaway advertising etc
Hey Scot how would you build a 18 meters long sfreestanding stud wall. 2.7 mts height? there is not ceiling in a warehouse and the floor is concret. One side ill be plastered and the other just the frame. Next to it will be a racking system that can hold tonns of weight so I was thinking of bracing the wall to that. Whats your opinion mate.
interesting that your using a tape measure as well as a folding ruler. We haven't caught unto the folding ruler in Canada, ever. I do have two steel rulers we use in the shop for accuracy and I guess its the same idea.
im from leven just a little bit east of dunfermline but do a fair bit of work through there, small world eh......also clocked that little bit track with the makita logo on haha i would have kept it aswell, my 3m track actually got delivered today!
You got to come to California brother so much to do over here there’s a Lotta room over here and there’s a lot of work over here and it’s beautiful bro
Genuine question: can you use plywood for outdoor projects?? Doesn’t the glue get wet and warp? Asking as I have plywood and in lockdown and want to do outdoor projects.
Do your paslode nails not blow out nailing in line with the board? I always nail 90 degrees to the plywood. From a joiner in Dundee 🏴 Really enjoy your videos
Hey Scott. I see you went working in Edingburgh, what does a Carpenter do over there, as you wouldn't find much wooden frame houses would you ? Thank you
I am from Glasgow and have worked in Edinburgh multiple times, there is a lot of wooden pre fab housing etc going up in Scotland, most commercial projects use metal stud but everything else is much the same (minus the weather of course) the building trade in Scotland is surprisingly good at the minute
Hi Scott, I'd like your two cents. I'm a 3rd year apprentice and I've done heaps of new builds (frame/lockup/fix) and a handful of renovations. My boss has ran out of work and has given us our 2 weeks notice, I've been looking for about 10 days now and I've had 3 employers call me after I've handed in my resume but it turns out all they do is framing. I'd like to hone my framing skills but i'm unsure if it's a wise choice because i feel like once i'm qualified i'd be stuck being a framer. I'd ultimately like to find a crew that does mostly renos as I feel like you learn the most doing that but there's none advertising. What would you do if you were in my situation? Thanks, love the vids
Literally walk onto sites and make contact to people, e-mail companies , Go down to merchants shop and ask around , If you don't ask you don't get make effort and show your keen people will always take you on.
@@chriskane9230 Yeah thanks for the reply mate, i ended up doing just that. I couldn't find any renovation crews looking but i found one that does new builds from start to finish!
I recon that NZ has those extremes of summer light and winter dark too hey? being far off the equator like the ancestral lands. Having lived in London UK for a year, I have to say that one thing I love about the new world is that class-ism is much less in Canada. I was on the outside of it in the UK, but I could really see people doing it to each other there sadly.
I don't suppose you're any relation to Scott Brown the Celtic player. He's a Fifer. I know Browns a common name though. You should rename your channel to Broonys Carpentry.
I'm a spark (industrial/maintenance) I'd love to move over to Australia or New Zealand, but I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to really consider it.
There's a desperate shortage of tradies here at the moment, you should have a look at the "skilled migrant visa" and see if your trade's on it. Or, depending on age 18 - 30 (or 18 - 35 from some countries) you can get a working holiday visa which allows you to work or study for some of your stay.
@@nikiTricoteuse 33 now, with a 2 year old. So I think my ship might have sailed. Saying that the wife is a nurse so you never know I suppose. We have mentioned it from time to time still.

I like how you tell your stories while doing a project. Excellent 👍
dont have the time to sit and chat.
Mate, from the burgh myself and about ages with you... recently got into woodwork and DIY as hobby and really enjoying the content. keep it up chief.
Love hearing people’s stories about where they’re from. The rain just makes this video.
Hi~, I am a builder in Korea. Since I'm planing to go to NZ. I'm waching your RUclips videos and learning from them. Thanks!

That’s crazy I live in Dunfermline. Channel is great mate 🏴
For most of the video I thought you were making a litter box 😹 I couldn't figure out why anyone would make a litter box 😂🤣 lmao
Me too! I also can't understand why he builds "dicks".
CraftManGreg that litter box looks shitty will not survive the rain
I worked in a supermarket once and someone wanted tuith pucks. 5 mins later, toothpicks lol.
Loved the truck tire on the power cord. Nice to know that yellow cords are not discernible against black top in NZ in as much as here in the States. I guess we have that working for us. Keep up the great videos. 👍👍
I live about an hour and a half away from dunfermline in greenock cheers for the vids big man
How your shirt matches your van is pure gold mate. Love it... and all your videos too 👍
I'm from Kirkcaldy neebur small world, been a fan for a long time got into carpentry because of you. Keep up the good work ,Alba gu brath brother
Don't know how I got to this video, but it was really well edited, enjoyed the rain, the story and seeing the letterboxes come together.
Awesome story Scott. You should be on TV! Well suppose RUclips is the new new TV. Haha 👍🏽 Good stuff
I can tell you the weather today in Edinburgh is exactly the same! Been chucking it down all day 🌧. Your not missing much ! Keep up the great work and maybe see you back over here one day 👍🏻
lol not surprised, cheers. I'd love to go back some time
The good 'Ole 4 cylinder tradie's van. Never see that used here in Canada. I came to Canada from Australia 13 years ago. The go to trades vehicle here is a V8 or diesel pickup truck.
Rarely see it in Australia either.
Lots of dual cab utes with a kitted out trailer, plenty of chippies rocking LandCruisers these days.
I thought I heard a Scottish accent from your old man in one of your videos! Watching from Glasgow Scotland. Great videos!
I would get something to protect that cable that keeps getting driven over. The wires eventually get smooshed and you have short circuit.
I live in Kirkcaldy, about 5 minutes from Dunfermline. Been watching your channel for a while now and did not know you had ties to here. Crazy! Small wee world. Class videos mate, keep up the good work 😎
you got to love those great stories from the parents and maybe one day they'll be passed right along to the new generation , cheers mate
No way Scot, I lived and worked in Dunfermline in Canmore St above the pram shop, there's a good chance your pram was bought from there 😂
According to Billy Connolly you should be living in Dunedin, where the sky is grey and the weather wet like Scotland. If it makes you feel any better about the rain, as I am listening to NZ play in the cricket World Cup, it is 17c in London today (in the bloody summer)

Over here in Belgium it is also raining, so its workshop day!
I am watching from the Highlands of Scotland, where in the Highlands do your grandparents live? Love you videos.
Just discovered your channel, great content!
I have a similar story, was born in the UK but we moved to Canada when I was 18 months old as well.
Couldnt they give your storage unit a plug.
Love how the van at the other unit parks on top of your extension cord.
Loved the comment .. ‘🥛looking like a bottle of milk’🥛👍😎
You cannae put timber posts in the ground pal.... all the best from sunny Edinburgh :)
@k1w1 it was a joke - going by what Scott said about his uncle from Scotland
I like this format. A project and a yarn. Very cool.
This explains your work ethic. Well done.
How so?
That Uncle Sandy impression - "No, no"
wot do they do in Scotland, just fill a rough hole with boulders then pour some scotch on it?
A mix of disgust and utter disappointment
Nae nae, ye canny dae that laddie!
I’m from Dundee Scotland about 75 mins from Edinburgh and am apprentice builder/ Carpenter love your videos
"Bro, you look like a bottle of milk" hahaha, that's what they would say to me, except I'm more cookies and cream. Cool story mate!

Watching in Scotland where it's rained constant for about a week 😂
Watching from Texas where it's been raining for six months 😓

Bro where’s your retaining wall video? Did u fullas finish that?
Hi Scotty, what type/model light fitting is that in your work shop? awesome vlogs btw.
As you know it always rains in Auckland, not necessarily where you are but usually somewhere in Auckland. I lived there about ten years, much drier in KalgoorlieBoulder now ....better for older people in the workforce .... don’t regret leaving .....

Alura Mae thats exactly what im saying .
@@aluramae783
It is the same on every country on earth. Some parts pay more than others because of the different economies.
Simple supply and demand, they're worth more because the demand is there. Small towns will always be jealous which is love and hate at the same time.

I was also born in Dunfermline. Used to be Scotland's capital, don'tchaknow?
Oft been watching you a few weeks now then you dropped the Dunfermline bomb. Fellow joinery from rosyth.
I agree with Uncle Sandy why would you put wooden posts in the ground?!?
Apart from that I love your channel
Hey Scot how would you build a 18 meters long sfreestanding stud wall. 2.7 mts height? there is not ceiling in a warehouse and the floor is concret. One side ill be plastered and the other just the frame. Next to it will be a racking system that can hold tonns of weight so I was thinking of bracing the wall to that. Whats your opinion mate.

Nice. I live in Dunfermline but originally from Edinburgh. 🏴🏴
That bottle of milk joke though 😂😂😂
Dooooope shirt. Diggin the channel and carpentry insights
interesting that your using a tape measure as well as a folding ruler. We haven't caught unto the folding ruler in Canada, ever. I do have two steel rulers we use in the shop for accuracy and I guess its the same idea.
So did you buy the shirt to match your van or did you paint the van to match the shirt?
