Sterling job, Bowler

[@simonbowler1]

Cheers, thanks for watching

[@freezy_3839]

Top workmanship, after watching your Vlogs I’ve decided to build my own oak gazebo. You’ve made the process of making the braces look so simple!!

[@MIKESOLARI-i7v]

Always great videos!👍

[@simonbowler1]

Thanks 😁👍🏻

[@stuartmason1577]

Fascinating watching you bring all these processes together and lovely to see. Is it just personal preference to 'bow' only the lower side of the brace or are there other considerations?

[@simonbowler1]

Personal preference. I’ve curved both sides a long time ago and much prefer the look of just one side curved 👍🏻

[@lukepeacham9663]

What an excellent lesson

[@simonbowler1]

Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@james-de-rozarieux-green]

Great video, so easy to see and follow the process.
Simon how did you cut the tenons before the Mafell saw?
Thanks!

[@simonbowler1]

Just lots of cuts with a hand held circular and then hammer and chisel 👍🏻

[@Adrian-b3v7m]

Brilliant 🔥

[@simonbowler1]

Thanks 😁👍🏻

[@neilDuck-lp4oe]

Great video. Shows how much goes into an oak frame.

[@simonbowler1]

Thanks…. Yes, there’s a lot of time goes into them

[@Mansell1996]

Nice to meet you both the other day at the ( secret location) R----y. Your work is absolutely outstanding

[@hutchrp]

I’d love to see a video on how you design these and putting that into simple man terms. Also what’s the brand of the black and green tape! Love that!

[@simonbowler1]

👍🏻 the tape Is a crescent lufkin shockforce niteye 👍🏻

[@alexanderellison7054]

Great work Simon! Love the mafell saw! Would love one too but for my line of work I’d rather keep the coin in the pocket 😅

[@simonbowler1]

Yes, i understand….. but for us, it makes total sense 👍🏻

[@660stihl]

Very, very helpfull! Thanks!

[@simonbowler1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@leesautomotive1737]

Really informative video. Thank you

[@sksecurityuk]

Great video ✅

[@Rich-0816]

Hi Simon, what type of blade are using on your bandsaw? Many thanks Rich

[@simonbowler1]

Quite a coarse one, from memory it’s about 2-3 tpi 👍🏻

[@Rich-0816]

Brilliant thank you.

[@alanbrady7116]

Jesus that mafell is some bit of machinery

[@simonbowler1]

It is!

[@waynereid2302]

Are knee braces required or is it a personal touch etc?

[@simonbowler1]

They are required in most circumstances 👍🏻

[@TheBrassmonkey87]

👍👍👍

[@tobynskinner3098]

Hey Simon. Can the nfu50 be used to remove the waste parts of your tenon if I didn't want to buy a bandsaw. I use a mafell p1cc jigsaw to curve my braces and I want to invest in the nfu50 but I'd really like to be able to spin the tenons and set it at an angle to take the rest away too

[@simonbowler1]

It can be set at an angle yes 👍🏻

[@tobynskinner3098]

@Simon Bowler cheers mate, going to order one this week. Your videos sold it to me 😂

[@tobynskinner3098]

arriving tomorrow with dust extractor. your videos are dangerous

[@rolfgregson7523]

How have you distributed your power in the workshop Simon? I see the sander lead from above. Great video now go and eat your Easter eggs 😃

[@simonbowler1]

I wired the workshop up when I built it and got an electrician in to connect the fuse board. I just made sure there was sockets EVERYWHERE! including overhead ones near the bench 👍🏻

[@adamcross652]

Do you put any kinda of finish on your gazebos

[@simonbowler1]

We leave that up to the clients, most tend to leave them to age naturally 👍🏻
