Replacing a picketed railing with a Cable rail!
With our custom home build project on a major delay due to supply chain issues, the Perkins crew is jumping into action and replacing a worn out deck railing for a local subscriber to the channel! This turns out to be the perfect one day project from tear down to finish… Which is super satisfying to get accomplished as a builder. Lots of pro tips and good times with the Perkins crew on the mountain as always.

Aircraft drill bits were originally designed to be used on aircrafts, as the name suggests! You were able to drill holes through deep cavities and then through thin materials.
Yeah thats right, as an aircraft mechanic every time you need to drill something on an aircraft you can rarely get the drill in the tight space so the longer drill bits are used to make it much easier

@@kalebszymanski4538as an aircraft mechanic, the most true statement I was ever told was “if you can see it, you can’t touch it. But if you can touch it, you can’t see it”
Always informative and a fun watch …. Surprising that with Jaimes extremely perfect dry sense of humor there would be any moisture problems when he’s around
LOLOLOL. Noice!
@@hansangb helllo fellow PBB member
Lol!
I could only imagine looking out on my deck and seeing the contractors smelling the wood 😆
I can’t believe Jamie didn’t have a jig to drill those holes for the cable through the posts! Great video!
Agreed ... easy peasy jig using the pillar drill back in the shop
love you guys. I'm from Sweden and is a carpenter myself.
I believe using the term zoom is actually correct and tracking is moving the camera closer or farther from the subject. But this is not.TV production class. Great video as always!
You could tune the cables so the wind will make musical sounds. Just a random comment to help the algorithm. The rail looks great! (that part is sincere)
Perkins is one of my favorite channels and I look forward to your videos. A perfect balance of information and entertainment. Thank you for all your hard work to bring these videos to us.
Wow, that really opens up those views!
Every time I cut steel cable, I wrap it it electrical tape. It helps to keep it from fraying!
Damn beat me to it
Good job guys 👦 👏 👍 !! The homeowners seems happy with the work done and getting a Cameo appearance on TH-cam..... :)
With a shop and drill press, you could make a block with a perfectly plumb hole to use as a guide.
In Germany we call this drill bit a "schalungsbohrer" which is "formwork drill" in english. You're welcome :-P
Thanks
A tip for cutting wire rope, use a few turns of electrical tape and cut through the tape, you will get a clean cut every time.
Looks so much better. No more blocked views
Exactly
"I don't know if I like the backdrop" -- Great line :P
That’s a million times better than the original rail, you can see the beautiful surroundings better.
It appears the cedar rotted because it was painted. Cedar should only be stained with penetrating oil or left natural. It will last 50 plus years if allowed to dry. Hence cedar shake roofs.

Tin solder and a soldering iron will save the tips of the cable when threading into holes. You can also wrap it with fine sewing thread. And then you do not have to collect thin wire on the floor.
I like that you are reusing the material rather than throwing it in a dumpster.
I’ve got some jobs you could do. I’m conveniently located 1 hour outside Sydney, Australia. 😳 You’ll have to use the metric system here though. 🤣
Love your work 👍
Ha, sounds fun… thanks
Us Irish get around we are even in north Carolina and nice to see the lads wearing green for paddy’s day and we know good builders when we see them big shout out from a subscriber in Ireland 🇮🇪👍
Use a perfectly straight (jointed & planed) 2x4 on edge as a drilling template. Drill the template holes on the drill press to make'em perfectly true. Clamp it to the post, start all the holes on one side & then switch it over for straight holes with no blow out.
This is the way
I like it but I feel over time you're gonna bore those holes out... almost need a metal jig... JAIME! Metalworking time
@@zTribalstylerz Yep, even better. But jig would probably be different for every job. Slightly different spacing.
maybe a plastic template/jig will work to drill the cable holes evenly with a side fence to keep flush to one side of the post .
Looks great gentleman. Keep up the jokes and good work. 😎
I love that you reuse timber, that you save timber offcuts and reuse them, and that you decontruct more than you demolish.
What happened to the portable drill press from your previous cable railing videos?
We still have it… we found that twisted 6x6 posts made it difficult to use the jig with through drilling
OMG that backdrop is gorgeous!!
Try using a spade bit and watch for the very tip to come out the other side then the other side can be drilled without damage
Thanks Guy's...love the cable rail look , a few more videos on this , I think I can try myself... well maybe !!!
An aircraft bit is an old school name for the days when aircraft were made of wood frames and covered in treated cloth materials and when mechanics needed to reach into the framing/cloth covering for whatever reason that drilling was required, they used these long bits. In the 25 years I was in the USAF, I never heard of this terminology. However, I have read about it. In my USAF career we referred to them as the bit diameter size by the length of the bit, like 1/4-inch X 10". We never had much need for drill bits like that, but we would need long drivers occasionally. And we also required driver bits with universal joint in them to get around objects, precluding having to remove said objects. In the USAF, repair time, turnaround is very significant so as to get the aircraft back into service. Fly, fight, WIN!
A little flux and solder will prevent the cables from getting frayed while feeding through the flanges/posts.
Cool, thanks for the explanation
I know with swaging control cables on aircraft, you make 3 crimps. First in the middle, second at the termination/turnbuckle end, and the third at the cable end, and all in the same orientation
Make a U shaped jig. Take two 2x4’s the width of the posts, drill a hole through the center of one, stack the two together and drill through the first and into the second. Screw a board to connect the two drilled boards together into the U shape. Now you have a jig to drill through each side half way to meet in the middle. It will take far less time to make the jig than it took me to type this! 😂
Every time ⏲ I see you guys cable railings, I'm amazed 👏🏿.
Hand shake sign off is becoming a rare sighting in this day and age.
This Day a Repair Work from a Wood Balcony and the Balustrade. For this Team a light Work. But a great to interesting experience the Cable Balustrade. Greeting 🇦🇹
'i dunno if i like the back drop'....lol
Just FYI redcedar is actually Thuja, a variety of cypress. Eastern cedar, the hamster cage stuff, is juniper. There is no cedar in North America, it only grows in Mediterranean basins.
Great video guys.
I love the video Erik! Hopefully I can meet you guys when I come down to visit North Carolina
It’s called a lamp bit. Can drill hole through the lamp base for the wires.
I love the clean look of those cable rails.
4:22 am🇵🇭♥️♥️always watching and learning....
Looks very clean and simple
An old trick for drilling straight is to put your wedding band on the drill bit and watch that the ring does not move forward/back or swivel side to side.
Thursday afternoon enjoyment of watching a PBB video..thanks guys!! Keep up the good work!!
Very interesting video guys, the view from that house was amazing. The chemistry between all the lads really shows, I imagine you are a good crew to work with. Thanks for sharing
Deck looks so good with those cables!
Cedar decks are popular here in the KC area. Stringers are pressure treated, everything else is cedar including support posts.
I love how guys turn the comments you receive into a hilarious answer, hope you keep this going, honestly first thing in the morning we turn on one of your episodes, keep it up guys, your doing a great job all around! Fans from Ontario Canada
Quality is improving alot. I love watching your videos and learning new things
Since this was a single project video a before-and-after shot would have been a nice button on this “bottle episode” (fancy schmancy tv lingo)
THANKS A TON PERKINS BUILDER GUYS!!!! We absolutely love our railing.
Tape a string level on the top of your drill after you've removed the hooks on it so you can hit the secondary hole. Use a small wood awl rather than a cotter pin.
Drip some super glue on the tips of the cables next time to help prevent the ends/strands from fraying.
Edit: Spelling
Aircraft drill bits are long drill bits where they often need to drill holes reaching through deep cavities, and then through thin materials in hard to reach places
Really a nice touch on that deck!
Love the cable rail.
Awe Man, Eric that's like when you're running new cables on the road bike. I hate when it starts to UN-ravel, CHEERS!!
You can get special treated cedar for wood shake roofing shingles but the biggest thing is design that allows air to flow and keep it dry if it’s exposed to rain and moisture.
Looks good guys keep up the quality work 👊🏼👊🏼🪚🔨🇺🇸✌🏼
Great video as always nice to see the team out in the community helping (smile) UK
And yet another great video! Such a great way to wake up to a builder brothers video ☺️
17:00 add at end a little thin tape to protect end of cable
Hey been following for a few yrs now but fell off for a bit, great to see Jamie out there with his prosthetic crushing it. The whole event helped me with my guys reinforcing safety on every job. Just wanted to let y’all know you guys help so much!
Cedar last great in drier areas. In wet areas It needs a ton of oil stain so the grain actually soaks up the protective coating
Cedar is fine in any climate as long as moisture isn’t being trapped at the end grain where it is most susceptible. Moisture doesn’t make wood rot, trapped moisture creates the ideal breeding ground for wood rot.
@@prawndawg8623 that’s why I like the oil based stains. It lets the wood breathe
Great stuff!
I work in Rowan county , I really enjoy yours videos and my wish is one day meet you guys and would like to you guys let me work one day with y’all . 🙏🏻
Y'all are the BEST!
Love the video guys. Another great job.
One thing that I like to do when drilling through a post is I get a long tiny drill bit and use that to drill through the post, almost like a pilot hole Then I can come back with the bigger drill bit and drill from each side so I have clean holes on each side. Takes the guess work out of trying to hit it from each side.
Isn't it just as likely that a small bit used for an all-the-way-through pilot hole, vs a larger bit used for a one-and-done, would be off when it pops out the far side? What am I missing? Thanks.
@@frankhazzard3250 I think he is talking about a bit that is not long enough to go straight through. With a small bit you would have to drill in from one side then go around to the other side and try to drill a hole that will meet and finish out the through hole. I just use thru loks. No drilling requires and holds the post tighter than a cold weather nut sack
If you're curious enough, swage one of those connectors on and then cut it with a grinder. Chances are, you won't be able to even see the strands of the cable anymore. With a good tool you damn near cold weld the cable to the ferrule.
Sound like magic!
Very informative video boys, enjoyed this video, thanks!
I have a client that had cedar railing and pickets also. Plus the house is all done with cedar planks. Last long but does get ruined over time and with no maintenance done on them. I had to replace all railing and pickets with pressure treated pine for them. I am in the south eastern part of NC. She had it all milled for the house some 35 years ago.
The drill bit If it has a hole in it it's a bell hanger bit for fishing wires run bit in hook wire to hole pull bit and wire back out.
The action of crimping does more than just "holding with tension", it actually weld them togheter, as surprising as it sounds.
No, it doesn’t weld anything.
@@whilomforge3402 yes buddy. Google it for 2 seconds. It's called a cold welding. There is a whole long scientific explanation on how and why it happens. Wish you good read.
@@1Akanan1 I know what cold welding is, but I am seriously doubtful that such a thing was achieved here, or that it even could be. When I attended college, we learned about this process. We tried to achieve cold welding using hand tools and copper wire, steel wire and steel cable. There was almost a 100% failure rate among those wires and cables that were crimped by hand. A ratcheting crimping tool was necessary to achieve a true cold welding. And even then, there was about a 20-25% rate of failure.
Aircraft bit! Just nicknamed for them bwcause they make drilling holes in deep places easier!
stellar job guyz
A well done, entertaining job. I really enjoy the way you all wok together.
I'm here!
Austin!!!!
@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers happy Thursday, guys!
Pro Tip. Put a boxed in wrench or ring (wedding ring) on the drill bit and if you keep it in the middle (between the bit and the wood) it will keep it level. Then you only have to keep it good left to right.
Nice tip!
Looks awesome! Wish the owner would paint the wood black first but looks great
This is awesome! Great job on the install guys!
I like to use “Crescent NP11“ nail puller pliers for removing rusty nails with minimum damage.
Put your wedding band on that "aircraft bit" while drilling. If it slides towards the post you drilling down roo much, if it heads towards the drill your drilling on an upward angle. If your level, it'll stay put in one spot.
there is a great tool made for drilling through that past,, i thought it was on this channel
Yeah, I'd swear that I saw some sort of portable drill press thingy on this channel.
Looks nice!
36in off the deck here in South Carolina too!!
Nice job guys! You house builders seemed super OP on a job that that 😁 As a painter I really wish you woulda filled those cracks. Specially on the vertical posts, specially when there was a huge crack right down the center where you were running your cables thru! But those rails are super cool and I appreciate you sharing your expertise on them and in general.
The cracks, known as checking, is due to the natural shrinking and swelling that the pine goes through being exposed to the elements. If you fill it, it won’t always stay filled and can sometimes end up looking worse. Not always tho, it’s kind of a crap shoot. Anything left outside is so unpredictable.
"CABLE BULLET" is the best cable rail system out there...
Make a board with the holes in it will make them in the same spot on both sides of all the posts
Attach a small magnetic level while your drilling that way you know your level....pro tip...
Magnificent view, wow
Installer bit (coax and CAT cable)
Correct. Also these long drill bits are used to install wiring for security systems in existing homes. Most are 3' or 4' long and 3/16" diameter and have a hole in the tip for a wire to pull the thicker wire cable through the hole 's opening.
You know, guys, I have not missed a single ''episode''. I have always wanted to move to and live in either Oregon or Washington state. But the views from the job sites you guys construct and create at are magnanimous and absolutely riveting! Then I stumbled upon ''Donnie Laws'' and his content on Appalachia, (myths, superstitions, old homes and farms.......), Now I am really having a hard time making up my mind on where to live when I move. I really want to leave the insanity of Southern California behind, Even if I am like 10th generation or more. Thank you ''PERKINS CREW''!
Cedar is also a bitter wood
I make a little plywood square jig that you clamp around the posts and you just use the 'right angle of the plywood to help guide your drill bit through the posts (drilling posts on both sides), it works really well and your holes are accurate without having to 'eyeball' your drill bit for level/square and plumb, it's pretty accurate and your holes will line up well, no second guessing! Takes 10 minutes to knock up and you just clamp it onto your posts (Irwin quick clamps) to drill your holes.
Run your cables through each post (put some painters tape on each end of each post so you don't get confused as to which cable is what as you go and then thread your capping on as the same time with each post (it's a bit time consuming but it's the way to do it, that way you don't or won't risk feather out your cable strands or your cables all out of level/alignment) Just a thought or tip.
Jamie. Seems to me that drilling through posts accurately is an opportunity for you to invent a seriously time-saving accurate jig. Something like a scaled up doweling jig. One that self centres on the post. I’m already looking forward to it…
Some long drill bits have a small hole near the tip, so you can pull small wire back through the hole. Commonly used by telephone, sound , and alarm installers.
🙋♂️🇮🇪 great bunch of lads.
