Thanks so much for posting this! I'm building a deck and was about to give up and just use brackets to install my knee bracing. This is just what I needed to see to figure out what I was doing wrong!
Nice work. Always interesting to see the solutions people come up with such as the jack and maple wedge. Must have been satisfying when the tenon popped in. I'd be interested to see more footage of the construction.
I know im asking randomly but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Johnathan Cairo I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Guess what I am building? A pergola with mortise and tenon joints in the knee braces, a.k.a. “gussets”. I am lucky though, I will be assembling it on the ground and tipping it up, so no tight fits. Also using dowels to hold the tenon in place. Good to see your stuff back. I have seen anything in a long time.
Wouldn't it have been cheaper to use a smaller size lumber, since the weight & structural load of the 30feet floor/deck is now being transferred to the size reduced gusset cut-out?
Hmm....hearing all that cracking and snapping as you jacked up the gusset makes me wonder if more damage was done that it was worth to have a tight fitting brace??
Not to be that guy, but that's a brace, not a gusset. If you put a metal plate over the joint where the brace meets the post and bolted it to both, that would be a gusset. Good video, though.

Beautiful way to assemble that deck support. Must have required a little thought and effort to make that work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video documenting the destruction what the flooding caused on the coquihalla Hwy . Please continue the good work and be safe.

@Johnathan Cairo It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out!
@Manuel Vivaan you are welcome xD
Could watch videos like this for hours. Thanks for putting it on!

Looks great. I didn't think maple was good for outside use. I like the technique, I'd put glue on the wedge so the wedge & brace become one.
That's how engineers in the Ozark mountain take care of business! Nice solid work!
Nicely done!
Beautiful craftsmanship going on here.
That was awesome! Nice job!
Sweet video. Short and informative with some fun at the end. Subscribed which bumped you to 1000
Absolutely satisfying to watch!
I cut some braces and are kinda lose. You just gave me the idea of wedges, thanks
Those are absolutely my favorite skill saws. They don't makem like that anymore. I've accumulated at least 8.
great example of how to install a brace "post-facto"!
That is some impressive engineering. You should come and help us do some square set timbering in our mine!

lower hole was how much longer than upper one, how deep is? my beam was 14x14cm.
Beautiful!💕

Someone had to be "that guy", and I for one am glad you did it. You are 100% correct
What's a gusset? I know mortice and tennon, but not a gusset. Shouldn't the knee brace go in before the beam goes up?
Knee braces are supports to be worn when you have pain in your knee. A gusset is a bracket strengthening an angle of a structure. lol
Looks great. The vertical split on the vertical members. Are those post compromised?
Is that song Aqualung by Jethro Tull?
hey cool video
Which sabre saw do you have please?
Good vid
вспомнил, что укосину, надо устанавливать до того как балку опустить ...
Пришлось изподвыподверта изловчится ... (тоже решение)
You should have put it together before putting the cross beams in
Yes, agreed, that's the right way to do it.
But what a challenge to do it after the fact, great work!
What about the lady in the door? She needs more coverage.
lol, hack
