Thank you, be safe, and be grateful.
You know Dave is a real friend because he filled his nail holes.
What was he using to fill those holes? Ive used a variety. Just curious.
@@pogs966 looked a lot like bondo to me ?
If I had to guess I'd say pink spackle that dries white. I only say that because Bondo is difficult to sand in my experience and spackle seems adaquate in this situation. Once again, only a guess.
“I hope I get it right.” That’s the prayer of every person ever to lay a blade on a board. Thanks for showing a few mistakes in this video. They always happen. The skill isn’t in executing perfectly, but in knowing what to do when imperfection pays its inevitable visit.
One of my mentors 20 years ago told me "The mark of a true Craftsman is how good you can fix your own mistake".
When I come up through the carpenter ranks the Carpenters that I worked around were not teachers they kept their craft close to the bid so I become very observant I hired a staircase guy and told me when I started I became a undertaker and I covered up all my work and I guess in today's language he faked it till he can make it but always strive to be that perfectionist
Very well said. This lesson applies to so many facets of our lives.
Thats how I feel when I apply 460v 3ph to
30 ton compressors
When I'm cutting into something expensive, I habitually say, "Ok, here goes nothing" right before plunging the saw. 🙃
The house is amazing for sure. But also HUGE shout out to Nate. Multiple cameras, literally thousands of hours worth of footage to ingest, sort through, edit, export and upload. The cost of the cameras, computers and hard drives alone would stun most people.
Great job Nate! You're a rockstar
Helena, you are my Rockstar
Well said.
+1 the house is amazing! Also absolutely agree on all the camera/editing work. Very professionally done. I have a friend who did professional sound engineering work for a number of years and would say that his job was to make everyone else look (sound) good, and if he did his job well no one would know he was there. Nate's job on this channel has sure allowed the great construction and detail to shine in the videos and they are a pleasure to watch. "Keep up the good work!"
man that ken video just kicks different every time you see him overseeing whatever the project of the day is. Having him, a master, as an audience member makes me, an amateur, feel more confident in watching your videos for information.
I was about to comment about being happy continuing to see Ken Jordan, however; you bet me to it. Bully to you sir!
His story reminds me that good health, tomorrow isn't promised to any of us. It reminds me to learn every day, be a better person to myself, my family, friends and the world every moment I live. Appreciate what we have and this gift of life. Cheers
@D G congratulations, you've won the prize for most unnecessary comment!
A good teacher will always teach in the simplest of terms to inch the student into more complicated problems. This series has done just that. Never once felt talked down to and have learned so much about every facet of this property. Seeing someone's intelligence as a result of decades of passion is a sight to see. I'm inspired and likely will never get the ability to do any of this, but the way it was presented encourages me and how I will teach others about the things I'm good at.
I am a retired union carpenter that worked at the trade for forty five years. The last eight years of my career I taught at our training center.
Watching you work and explain, was bringing back fond memories of what I loved to do. Great job you are indeed a finish craftsman.
if i know the house is getting carpet i mark all the stud locations on the floor before the sheet rock goes up.it save lots of time for everyone locating them after
was thinking this myself
Yes, with a fat pencil mark. I mark measurements on the floors and studs and take lots of pictures. Knowing where wires, blocking and pipes are months down the road is a gigantic time saver.
@@sma11 this aswell 👍
Any reason you’d limit this to just carpet since the subfloor is getting covered up regardless?
@@dtemp132 Usually carpet goes in after finish trim and other flooring like hardwood and tile go in before trim. So if you put marks on the floor, there is a good chance the finish floor will be installed over your marks so that they can no longer be seen.
I gets very tricky. Sometimes you can mark the floor, then after drywall go back and mark the wall as well. But even then most of the time the walls are primed and cover your marks as well. So a lot of the time it is just easier to find the stud later, rather than try to mark them ahead.
Dave came to help, how could he not, its called love. And a meal with friends, this is life.
How true! I worked as a volunteer batisseur (builder) on the fantastic French castle project of Guedelon in 2010. A highlight was having lunch with the full-time craftsmen in their canteen each day. French cuisine and a medieval castle - joy!
@@JamesBrown-mt5ru Sounds amazing James, how'd you end up there?
@@Corsonmcnash I thought it might be an idea for my own castle of Baltersan in Scotland (on RUclips). Guedelon was the vision of one man who owned a chateau in a nearby village. On his land he had stone, clay, sand and trees. He started the project expecting 30,000 visitors a season. He now gets 300,000! COVID stopped the process of receiving volunteers but that might restart next year. See www.guedelon.fr/en
What makes you great is your mastery of the language of carpentry and of sound thinking. And your “I’m going to speculate” honesty… that’s golden.
Watching this video right to the end, made me realize there's still good, great Americans left in this world nowadays. Thank you, Sir!!!
I still cannot appreciate enough the time and effort you put into everything. Video production, friendship, quality of trade work, kindness to others, etc. “Keep up the good work”
im for the uk, this show is a nice break from the american chaos our media shows us, proper decent proud americans 👍
@@crappymeal I’m also from the UK and couldn’t agree more, wonderful to watch
@@kevincollins512 need a uk version with decent tradesmen
@@crappymeal agreed, have you tried Robin Clevett and Gid Joiner?
@@kevincollins512 nice one
Boy oh boy! Could i ever use a Dave right about now! Thanks for the insperation. This is a major undertaking for a one man show.
I love the way he articulates everything perfectly
I can't hear any words because that entryway is just deafeningly crisp and clean!!
I install a lot of base board.
Mark with your utility knife- just a small tick near the back. Very quick and precise.
That’s a sharp idea! I can’t believe I never thought of that.
Straight to the point!
@@badlandskid I can not handle all these puns.
@@ianthomas1201 it's hard to measure up for some people.
@@badlandskid they just aren't cut out for it, some may get round the corner and catch up..
It is a good day when you can wake up & watch an Essential Craftsman Video on RUclips!! Love all of your videos..Keep Up The Good Work!
Everyone needs a friend like Dave.
Everyone needs to be a friend like Dave
I think your friendship with Ken is something extremely special. I really enjoy seeing him in the videos and really enjoyed the episode dedicated to him.
You really honor your friend without condescension.
Having seen that episode about Ken I always look for him now.
My grandfather was a gun at that. Taking care to slow down at eye level, knowing how much tolerance to trade for speed in areas further from the eye. His looesest, fastest work was still better than most, and the parts you notice or touch, just superb.
“Like it never even happened” my favorite part of trimming out a house like this is all the imperfections created throughout the process, that I now know look perfect. “Looks like it grew there” is my other go to phrase. Keep up the good work!
Food and music are two of my favorite ingredients , can’t get enough of your content.
Isn't it such a blessing to have friends who will turn up to help out when you most need it or are struggling to cope. I too have such mates & I thank God for them... :)
I spent my life doing just this. Thank You for reminding me! I fell into health problems as an old school carpenter..
This is an all time classic episode of EC. I'll be coming back to it for years.
Your a gem of craftsmanship
I enjoy very much !
I tried to come up with a carpentry pun...
....that woodwork. I think I nailed it, but nobody saw it.
Ken is blessed to have a friend like you.
Been watching the spec house project from digging the foundations all the way through. Thoroughly enjoy and a touch envious of the team, skill and commitment every one shows. I have very poor skills and a body that just wont cooperate, you know, the spirit is willing, the flesh is not. Can't wait to see the completion of the project and the sale / auction and I'm sure you will make a nice profit. All the best from Sydney, Australia
I'm the first person to choose wood over MDF, but I still think the arguments used against MDF were not entirely fair.
High quality MR MDF stands up to water just about as good wood does, small dings can be fixed using a good (epoxy or polyester) filler, some sanding and paint.
MDF is even more dimensional stable than wood and the boards are even more straight than perhaps the very most expensive wood boards.
I used to be very much against the use of of MDF for anything, but I warmed up significantly since I started to use the little more expensive high quality MR stuff and also using a little thicker boards than what I would have used if building something wood or ply.
MDF cuts nicely, takes paint like a champ and the boards are straight.
MDF do have some advantages.
My views are based on woodworking/cabinet making as a hobby rather than real carpentry work.
Agreed. I think MDF gets a bad name because people often confuse it with particle board. Definitely not the same product.
I was skeptical for a while but I’ve grown to like MDF for its advantages when suitable.
you can use Bondo to easily repair MDF, I've done it plenty of times.
If you cover MDF in penetrating epoxy to soak in, you can make _very_ wear resistant parts that machine easy before finishing. Still I hate MDF dust.
For me a big reason to avoid MDF is the concern over carcinogens and feeling the need to wear a respirator when cutting it.
"...that I was sort of sinking." Oh, Scott, I'm down there with you. I've been working on the fight against this virus for almost a year at a 52 week/yr tempo, and between the overwork and the case numbers I'm seeing, I had a rough day here.
This video brightened the end of this rough day. I'm sorry for the sensation of sinking and I'm thankful you're seeing this enormous project through with Dave and all your other helpers.
Sending hugs.
Who would dislike this video? Im baffled..this guy is smart and talented beyond a lot of people out there. I think i just said the reason why people dislike this video..jealousy. Great work pal
I really enjoy seeing the gentleman sitting there smoking the pipe in many of these videos. It makes me think that working on this particular site is almost as calm and relaxing as watching these videos from afar. What a joy this whole process has been.
You can never have too many Dave's helping out! Good man.
Can't say exactly how much I've enjoyed this whole series. Thank you!
The gentleman in the back smoking the pipe supervising the job needs a raise
"its better to be lucky than good"
lol gramps....you got some real awesome quotes
I would always recommend an 18 gauge Brad nailer for trim. 15 is huge and mostly unneeded except for door jambs
My 2 cents as a finish Carpenter in Oregon. 👍 Been looking forward to the trim videos.
18 gauge for the jambs all the time
No 15 gauge everything 5/8 and thicker but I will say that the brand of gun you use makes a difference on the install.
@jami w To complete the saying: “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”
I was thinking the same thing as I was watching. I always 18 ga into jambs. 15 ga into studs.
Agree. I use 18g brads for all my trim. Always seems to be the sweet spot for me.
You can also search for studs with a strong magnet. If there's a nail in there, you'll feel it with the magnet.
Pad Thai for lunch on a construction site ? there must be biscuits and tea in the afternoon. Now that’s a site to work on. Great job guys, thanks for sharing. And keep up the good work
I find it interesting watching how people do the trim work , every one has their own techniques and differences and none of them are wrong , just different. I’ve been crafting wood for about 40 years now and have my own RUclips channel showing how I trim out houses and pail to your teaching abilities!! I enjoy your videos and your showmanship!
"...none of them are wrong" only if how long something will last and look good is of no concern.
@@SomeDumUsrName ok let me clarify, none of them wrong that is a true craftsman
@@Paulhuber007 lol much better. Not so universal. Right on man! :-)
Thank you. This is what I needed today. Been stuck in bed for a week, I can't wait to get my projects started again.
Thank you guys. The food/stories I wish will be very good in my future too, as I hope they continue to be in yours.
Learned a new use for the word Worry in this video… wonderful as usual. Keep up the good work.
Great time watching this vid it was like a trip down memory lane, nice to see your old friend there I understand his joy of just being there. Looking forward to the tile vid's I spent most of my years in home construction as a tile contractor.
Another great video
To add to your topic; custom and semi-custom doors with an mdf core prove far more stable than a mortise and tenon solid wood door. The mdf is wrapped in thick enough wood to provide the appearance, and edge durability. This is not a veneer, but a wrap that brings about a double layer of 5/8 and finish thickness 1-3/4" or greater door thickness. Sound deadening is excellent, door is nice and heavy ( use good hinges ). With doors now taller than ever, warping was a huge problem with solid wood doors. Materials science plus craftsmanship solved this.
Love the content, but I really loved the way you said "this ain't cheap" so eloquently and in the same breath you made it abundantly clear that it is worth the price. Machinist quality lumber is to die for. My boss is peculiar when it comes to a 1/16' difference, until he's not lmao.
I appreciate the honesty with which you present your self. I’m a few years older and did not spend as many years working in the field as you but I did enough to put some wear on my body. Had to give up my table saw because my hands no longer do what I tell them, every single time. They are just not absolutely trustworthy and they need to be on a table saw. It’s a pleasure to see you still at it. My time doing larger carpentry projects is over and it makes me enjoy your videos all the more. Been watching from the beginning, Thank you, Keep up the good work…
It’s very refreshing to see a true craftsman so beautiful work!! You show the REAL side of things including the things that go wrong and how to deal with that. This is EXACTLY how every job goes and the finished product is flawless Keep up the good work!!
You continue to amaze me with you wisdom and honesty in these videos. I’m truly inspired by the content you put out. Thank you and God bless.
Every time I see a new trick it reminds me of this British guy we have in his early 60s that knows just about every way to say time and be more efficient with what we do and that makes my day. No patronizing or arrogance, just a good tip and he keeps humming right along. Who is fast is not always best, lower margin for error and consistency seem to be the winner (and it humbles us young workers better then any " I told ya so" who think we need to go full bore)
Your framing series just got me my job. Thank you sir
One thing that I really appreciate about your style is that you are not condescending or reprimanding. I must admit I sour rather quickly on RUclips craftsman that tell the viewer “if you are not doing it the way that I do it, you are an ignorant rube.” I like the way you just lay your advice and experience on the table and we choose what to do with it.
The main thing I learned from this series is that when they say that it takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a small village to build a modern house. So many people with different expertise are required to create a complex product like a house.
@jami w To be fair, back in the day they didn't have code, regulations, permits, plumbing, electricity... We have complicated the process of building houses quite a bit.
@jami w With due respect, I can't count the number of times I have heard a young guy say "I know how to do all this stuff" only to find out later that he only kind of knew how to do some of it. I'm 42 years in my trade and still learning and changing to accommodate all the new technology. I've cased out a window before, doesn't make me a finish carpenter by a long shot.
It may take a few trades to build a house because of efficiency of knowing one trade very well, it certainly does not take a village to raise a child. It takes a man and his wife
@@mattberg916 sometimes his wife has multiple personalities, so she counts as a village!
Oh, I know that feeling of "sinking" as you get close to project end. Especially a big project.
I loved 18:00.
This showed a real craftsman. Scott was pleased with his results, and probably put more hours into that top plate than necessary but he used some nice material that he'd been saving for just such an occasion.
I hope the new home owners watch every one of these videos, they'll be amazed at the pride and skill that has gone into their house.
I love your work and your presentation of it. You are superb. And I know in my heart that while I probably will never meet you, you are my friend. Keep up the good work, indeed!
Thank you videos like yours always gives me some hope I'll find a job in construction that those I work with appreciate the work and desire to do good work. I've been in and out of construction for about 10 years and there isn't many people like yourself or the crews you work with. Good and honest
I am lost now I can’t believe Mr Essential made a mistake. Lol! I was always taught the greatest craftsman’s are the ones who can make a mistake look like it never happened. Love the channel keep it up!!
This series has been such a learning experience and inspiration, thank you!
Scott, you are a man of many talents, learned over time and with experience.
I wish high schoolers had a vision of that being in the trades could be so rewarding.
As a homeowner craftsman who has ventured more than once into framing and finish work, I have to say your videos are awesome and therapeutic. I love to do the work I'm watching but Ive never done it with a master, so seeing the lessons I've learned confirmed or learning new tips is just really enjoyable. Thank you for the effort these add to your work.
It's aggravating to carry two trim guns but if you use an 18 gauge brad gun to nail into the jambs it's less likely to split at the edge.
.?? I always have a 15 ga. Finish nailer, 18 ga stapler, 18 ga Brad nailer and 23 ga pin nailer on all jobs.
Never aggravated by that!
That front door looks great. I just replaced a lot of trim in my house and I made everything flat which was a pain. None of the walls were straight so the miters where tough to get right. The way you did it here with 1/4" reveals looks better and seems like a breeze to install.
Great work.
I recently started watching most videos on RUclips at 1.5 speed, but not yours. Your videos give me a reason to slow down, relax, and learn something new as life seems to be getting more and more busy these days.
It’s been great watching this episode. Hanging that amount of casing and doors done this way is quality work. As a tip I usually pin on the casing onto the door jams with the door on face side. Pre pack the hinge side perfectly plum. Door goes on quicker with less nailing and more accurate spacing as the casing stabilises the jam at them same time keeping the fitted door in place.
I really enjoy your videos. God Bless you and your family.
I’ve done really big projects in Idaho and Utah and I always recommend them to your videos to see the quality I spend my life to put out.
Your videos always make my day brighter. Blessings to you and your family.
My favourite guy!
Thanks for all your help!
really looking good, thanks for your pearls of wisdom.
With bypass door tracks I like T-nuts and machine screws; no chance pullout with normal use and no screw fatigue pullout, even with pine. Crescent makes a nice plier nail puller; they’re maybe 10 pliers with a 1/4 round protrusion so you simple grab the nail and roll. If the wood is real soft you can put a putty knife index the 1/4 round; it pulls nails well from both front and back. I like my Bostitch 15 gauge FN nailer as it has an ai blower to clear dust as well as a flip out plastic measure that instantly sets you to 16” and makes shooting baseboard quite quick and easy.
It's good to see Ken enjoying his pipe.
This channel is outstanding. You guys have an excellent style to your videos. I have learned so much, Thank you gentlemen.
Thanks for the tip on the trim supplier. I had gotten to the end of the house build videos but you weren't done yet and I thought maybe you guys finally wore out and decided not to film to the finish line. So glad I was wrong! Having a jobsite lunch with friends can only be beat by having the meal be Thai. Good stuff!
And that's one of the reasons that I never use a 15 gauge nailer to install decorative trim! I only use 15 gauge for weight bearing, heavy use situations like door jams, window stools, & stairs. I only use 18 gauge brads & 23 gauge pins for decorative trim. No splitting & no big mole holes to fill.
These are the videos I keep coming back to EC for. Thanks a lot !
Really appreciate your skill and knowledge. Thankful to you for teaching us. 👍🏻
As always, the video has a wealth of information, but, exploratory hammering, priceless! Thank You.
Love to see it. Having good company as fellows workers on a job while eating lunch can make just about any meal good.
I love the best of humans building stuff together in these videos.
You're a very lucky man, Nate. I lost my father to cancer when I was a kid. I'd give almost anything to get advice at certain times. I know that you appreciate what a gem of a father that you have.
10:23 Another stud finder is a stack (3 or 4) of those strong little round neodymium magnets and use the stack to find a sheet rock screw.
Yep, I find that works like a charm... those magnets are so strong you get within an inch of the sheet rock screw and they snap right to it.
For some of us tech weenies, I pulled an old hard drive apart and took the neodymium magnet out, coated it in painters tape, with a flap on the end for grabbing. Keep it on my fridge, and use it to find nails in studs. LOVE IT! Haven't pulled my two stud finders out in years.
I was using only one neodymium magnet and couldn't hang on to the bugger. Dropped it from where I was on a ladder a couple times, lost it and had to go fetch another. I finally just stuck it on the head of the nail I had ready to check my stud edges. Works well.
I experience a complete sense of calmness watching your videos.
Love the music selection Scott! Don't notice it's there until your engrossed in the video and find your feet tapping to the beat. Your choices would make an incredible play list. Thank you very much, and keep up the good work.
Scott take it easy on yourself and great work.
Your the best as I said in the past your the best
Nice to have friends like Dave they come along as you say when your sinking and you need help , great job and nice video.
Great stud findings technique. Always learn something new from this Channel. Thanks for the great videos Scott 👍
7:40 LOL. I have multiple garments with that permanent condition you mention.
It sure makes a huge difference, when you’ve framed the structure that you’re trimming !
Ya great to see sensei oversee things. Great job.
Applicable information thanks!
!I watch these when i get home from work. Which says something about the quality of the channel. best on YT..along with AVE ofc.
Wonderful video with great tips and info as always...thank you Scott and Nate!
Man, pad thai, pad ped, and drunken noodles are some of my favorite dishes of all time. Great video as always, and the house looks amazing. :D
Crispy pad Thai is my favorite meal of all time they fry it somehow and make it as crunchy as a pretzel with the same flavor as normal. I wish I knew how they did it.
Great stuff guys! Keep up this good work
Y’all are awesome. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Sending love from Alabama
You make some very useful and watchable material. Thanks muchly.
In regards to that Bosch saw...
I have it. I generally only use it when I need a 12" saw for a rare piece of crown I can't cut nested with the 10". I run a Festool Kapex as my everyday driver, which is a tip top of the line 10". What the Festool pioneered, that the Bosch Axial Glide is trying to replicate in it's own unique way, was a forward facing slide mechanism so the slide mechanism does not impose itself on the back of the saw forcing you to keep it off the wall so it can be swung left and right. The Bosch solves this with it's fancy arms on an X/Y axis. All in all I think it's a great design. I also has a nice ergonomic control for locking and unlocking the miter deck, and the bevel action. HOWEVER...where the Bosch fails is in the detents of the miter deck. both the tooth that locks it in place and the plate with the detents are made of plastic. I have not broken them, but they have work to having a considerable amount of play in them. This is just about a deal breaker. I now keep it in my shop and use it exclusively as a 90 cut off saw. I got it dialed in and have the lock pressed down, and don't dare unlock it. The next time I need a 12" saw, I will be buying the new Makita, which also has a forward facing slide mechanism, more like the Kapex's. And I recommend to anyone that is in the market for a miter saw, avoid the Dewalt and Milwaukee saws from Home Depot, and have yourself a close look at the Makita. You'll spend an extra $100-150 on it compared to a Home Depot grade saw. But if you aren't going to make the investment into a Kapex (which is well worth every penny), the Makita is the next best money spent in my humble opinion.
"A nail is a good studfinder if you can cover up the hole" I feel like that applies to a lot more things than intended lol. "Daves a good studfinder, we threw him through the wall and could see every stud! We just had to replace the sheetrock after!"
Tip: mark your studs on the floor in front, transfer some dots onto the wall for nails before you cover your marks with flooring
