Just wanted to share some good fortune, inspired by you and your Dad. I was asked to design a piece of furniture for a boutique style furniture store here in Arizona. When I showed them the prototype. Before stain and finish for approval the lady made a comment how it was nice, for once to not have scribbles and lines and dimensions and a bunch of random pencil marks all over the piece of work. I recently started doing as you have taught, “leave no pencil marks”. The simple act of craftsmanship obviously made my work stand out from the crowd, and I actually won the bid. Thank you for your videos, and all The life lessons that you pass along to all of us woodworkers. Stay healthy!!!!
I've never commented on here before, Scott, just to let you know you've a whole lot of fans who appreciate your work out here. From Locked down Victoria. (Aus) Cheers 👍🏼
It is not only folk from overseas who enjoy and appreciate your channel, but I am an "Oldie" here in Auckland - I enjoy your channel. Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Yep my favourite You tube destination too! Thanks for the effort and time you put in Scott. I'm a landscaper over here on the South Coast of England so I know how much work it must take to put these great videos up!Thanks again!
Those little 12 v staplers are so handy I got mine a few months ago now and am absolutely love it and hope your staying safe in stage three , I also am in stage three here in ocean grove , vic, Australia 🇦🇺
Was fortunate enough to do my aluminium joinery apprenticeship im Auckland way,way back and was blown away by the high standard of workmanship and attention to detail the blokes i worked with practiced. As a keen DIY enthusiast myself i was chuffed to stumble upon your channel and am hooked so cheers Scott. I now find myself moving more towards building/carpentry since watching your vids. Congrats on your success and i'm looking forward to more vids (post lockdown).
Hey Scott im from Auckland originally. But live in regional Victoria Australia. Currently doing my second year apprenticeship in landscape and construction. I love your videos. Keep up the good work.
Mad I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now and used like 3 of your tips while at work , great job man also just purchased my first Japanese pull saw and used it for the first time today , was absolutely brilliant
Just finished watching all your videos after I came across your scriber one. I am not a builder but needed a shed on the cheap. So I designed and built/finishing one mainly from fence rail and palings. The corners and boxing became a problem until I saw one of your scriber vids. Bought a table saw and now the shed is cosy. Thanks for sharing your skills. Amazing how much there is to learn in the channel. I'm in Welly so feel your pain in lvl 3 but glad to see you can get back to it.
Hey Scott, try googling "camera armour", you can get lots of protective hard cases for DSLR cameras, in particular there are ones that have screw-on trumpet-like attachments that protect the lens since the lens-to-body connection is a weak point if you drop it. A more serious option is "camera cage", which may be a good idea anyway if you're using a DSLR as a video camera, I assumed it was a GoPro or similar. Camera cages include all sorts of options, mount points, stabilisers for handheld shooting, and obviously protection of the camera body.
Also not a trades person but I discovered this channel during lockdown and have watched way too many of them! Really spurring me on to do the jobs I’ve been putting for for longer than I should have. And gives me the excuse for some new tools which is always good. Hope you’re staying safe down there.
Hi Scott, thanks for all the nice videos you make. I see you're starting to use Milwaukee pack out. It would be fun to see a video about what you think of the storage boxes. Best regards Daniel.
I love these videos . I find them therapeutic. Glad to see every down in New Zealand doing well. Sorry to hear about the camera mate. All the best, Alex in West of Scotland.
@ADFK 686 perhaps the best means of deciding is to choose the thing you enjoy doing. If you enjoy electronics head that route and if you enjoy/have a passion for woodworking head the carpentry/joinery route. Once a qualified craftsman you have scope to specialise or shift direction.
Long time subscriber, first time commenter... I think. Here in Miami, Florida every other day you hear and see a store closing down. Miami and Ft. Lauderdale schools are starting virtual classes next week until October/ January. The rest of Florida is being 'orange' with some schools already opened face-to-face. Anyhow, I really enjoy the editing, music, and content of your videos. The majority of the homes here in south Florida consist of exterior walls made of cinder blocks, aluminum framing, maybe a steel post/ beam or 2, and 'timber' roofing. Our pressure treated wood is a dark moldy green instead of pink. Keep on keeping on and stay safe! Mauro
Nae luck Scott! Lockdown sucks. Just finished a very hard week doing two different jobs; woodworking and community work. Trying to keep money coming in isn't easy with supply chain all messed up. Just knocked off early at 4:30pm Friday, UK time, popped the top off a cold German beer and enjoying watching your work. Thank you for making these films. It's amazing I can watch this fabulous content for free. I know how much hard work goes into even a short film. Doing this on top of the physical graft is a serious endeavour. Best of luck and prosperity.
Well, I'm not a carpenter, I'm a dyi'er at many disciplines, my main job is unix systems, but metals and wood take part of my time, I mostly work on cars and have already rebuilt two, from engine, to wooden dashboards, upholstery, electronics and so on. I'm from Portugal, I like your videos, because your way of buiding is completely different from ours, here is concrete or nothing :) I also did a few drywall stuff in the past, walls and ceiling. Keep making videos and stay safe.
Part of Leicester in England was the same. If I lived 100 yards away on the other side of the motorway bridge I wouldn’t have been affected. Excellent videos thanks.
I was looking forward to you videos as I have just gone into hospital with leukemia...... Hope you can put together something every now and then. You will get your own TV show one day mate your channel is very good and so is your work.
Great video things will get better, I'm in the USA in Florida and we are one of the hot spots in the country right now. I'm a plumber and we are working still, but most job sites have a limit on people on the site.
Hi Scott, I wonder if you realize the esteem your Prime Minister is held in the world. The way she reacted when Covid was on its way was brilliant and a lesson to most countries. Regards Jim UK
@@eoin6314 hi Owain, being elderly it is quite worrying especially when your country is being run by a Pillock who is always at least 3 weeks behind the 8 ball. Which you are not.

I love these "mail call" vids - great stuff, Scott! Sorry to hear about the lockdown again... I do believe however the thumbs down on the video are from those disliking the lockdown, not the content!
Scott - You need to send your PM and leaders to the US! We are no better than we were in March, People still complaining or refusing to wear masks, College kids throwing massive back to school parties. And then people don’t understand why this keeps spreading. Thanks so much for your videos. They are always a joy
Hi Scott, Sorry about the lock down but it is good that New Zealand has leaders that are taking this seriously. Here in Wisconsin we are averaging more than 700 new cases detected per day. I enjoy your videos.
@h2s Just out of curiosity I went to the California Department of Health Covid dashboard and the data I see there suggests a different picture. Both new cases and new deaths were higher in August than in May. These data are consistent with the Washington Post Covid website. This site is the best one I have found to easily compare different states in the US.
rerolley Can I also point out, body of scientific work is emerging that shows our immune system is capable of remembering COVID-19 and producing a lasting immunity. It therefore starts to indicate that countries with high original infections are close to achieving herd immunity whilst those that have closed down (such as New Zealand) will still have to go through the pandemic once they open their borders. Some of the evidence: www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2550-z Researchers found that: * People with or recovering from COVID-19 displayed immediate memory T-cell activation to the virus’ proteins. * People with an infection history-going back as far as 17 years-of SARS-CoV-1 which emerged in China around 2002-2003, had long-lasting memory T-cell responses that ”displayed robust cross-reactivity to the N protein of SARS-CoV-2.” * And, perhaps most interesting, SARS-CoV-2-specific memory T-cell activation was found “in individuals with no history of SARS, COVID-19 or contact with individuals who had SARS and/or COVID-19.” The last point is certainly enough to give us hope. And yet more positive research emerges. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.08.01.20166553v1 the response of antibodies-one of the primary classes of immune cells used to defend against pathogens-stayed active in saliva up to 115 days after the onset of symptoms in COVID-19 patients. Work on yet another kind of immune cell, the ‘helper’ T-cell as opposed to the ‘killer’ T-cell, was completed earlier in the year when several studies published in Nature and Science (www.worldatlarge.news/function-health/antibody-and-killer-tcell-found-for-covid ) found that the helpers could also, more than half the time, identify COVID-19 and sound the alarm, and that these helpers were present in patients that had never been exposed to COVID-19. The evidence of re-infection is, at this point, non-existent, which suggests humanity’s collective immune system is working well to combat it.
@@aeasthouse316 "our immune system is capable of remembering COVID-19 and producing a lasting immunity." I am sure that the 1000 Americans who died today and the 170 thousand who have died so far will take great comfort in hearing that. Oh, wait a minute, they can't hear it because they are DEAD. "Some ofyou may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make," is said by Lord Farquaad
K Shred you always so morbid and negative? You must be fun having around. Gave you some good news, yes signs show we can get herd immunity and at least there won’t be 1 million Americans dying. So the good news if for the 99.95% Americans who still alive. I’m a 99.95% cup full sort of guy, you a 0.05% of bitter empty cup guy. More good news, you have room for improvement. Just go for it
@@aeasthouse316 I guess I have a problem with people who think that, because there are only 170 thousand instead of a million, 170 thousand deaths (and counting) is somehow good and an acceptable price to pay in order to achieve herd immunity. Especially because the New Zealand (and Chinese, etc) experience has shown that there is a better way. Extrapolating the NZ results (which is of course not that appropriate to do because the numbers in NZ are so small), if the US had followed the New Zealand 'go early go hard' model then it would have had only 22*330/5 = 1450 deaths. That is a factor of 117 less. Yes, the immunity studies are good news. But good news for herd immunity via a vaccine. It is morally and intellectually indefensible to use then to advocate herd immunity via letting the virus run rampant. It didn't have to be this way. I wonder if you will change your position if you or a loved one succumbs to the virus. BTW, I am not bitter. I love life and I want to continue to enjoy it without having it snuffed out by the selfish and the willfully ignorant.
You guys are so lucky to have a smart Prime minister and everybody is following her advise. Here in the US it's a mess and it will take until forever until this is over.
Travis the chimp ah yes, another believer that THE ENTIRE WORLD is in on an April fools joke. With stupid like you this thing will never go away. Thanks. And wear a fucking mask.
Smart prime minister 🙄 Don't be such a fool, if you can't see this for the absolute agenda that it is you're blind. This has absolutely nothing to do with a virus, I'm saying this as someone who has a sister that's a ICU nurse currently working on lung wards(basically covid ward). I say this out of love brother, please open your eyes and don't listen to what's being rammed down our throats as information by the fear mongering government and media.
Hey bro, even though the rest of us are in level 2 ( rest of NZ) From what i have seen out and about everyone is probably feeling the same as you guys up north so even though we might be at different alert levels we are all still wanting/trying/hoping that together we can get through this again. Lots of love your Otago Whānau
Have the plastic tabs snapped off the lens? It's fairly straightforward to replace the mount which is easy to get. 4 small screws and 2 very small ones, the mount pops off, replace and done If the camera mount is damaged that can be replaced as well.
Hang in there m8. Love the video's, really like your relaxed manner even if things go side ways. I like to say : there are no problems only solutions 1👍
Hi Scott, another great video, I really liked the letter from young Findlay, he is starting out in the trade very early, best regards from a ex Placemakers employee now living in Melbourne.
Hi Scott! I’ve recently some how found you on TH-cam and I love all your videos. I would definitely hire you on the spot without thinking twice just because I’ve seen your videos. In my experience working with contractors in Chicago, by far I have never had one contractor compared to the work experience you have. There are good, great, and best. You are definitely in the best category! Also I also like your partner Pareau! Great team!
i assume the van is a grey import from japan and the extra mirrors are needed as the cities in japan are gridlocked and parking space is a nightmare so you are expected to get into spaces not much longer than your vehicle so being able to see the corners and rear bumper is necessary
Wow - even have the kids following your channel - you the man Scott - wish i had access to your vids as a kid so i could actually fix things around my house and get the mrs off my back.
Scott you're lucky to be in New Zealand. Its good to see all you guys taking it so seriously but even here in Canada I wish we had your situation. All the best bud
No doubt, when the pandemic started Manitoba shut down almost completely. Here we are finally having that breakout they predicted back in March and are they doing anything about it? Nope.
Hi Scott. As I live in Central Otago we appreciate that Auckland is in level 3 and we stand with you in these challenging times. Is it possible to show a video on installing the flashing around a window?
@valleywoodworker I feel totally safe, Health code check and body temp checks before the metro and entering public spaces like gyms, malls etc., as well as wearing masks most of the time when out. Apart from that, life is back to normal. No plans on moving back and if I did you wouldn't want the cheap tools China makes.
that's a great camera upgrade... not very robust though! you shoud buy a cage system to offer some protection!... thanks for the videos and cheers from Portugal!
@Scott Brown Carpentry. It's great Scott that you're influencing the next generation of carpenters. Only good can come from that. Hope you and your family stay safe and well.
Scott Brown is all over the world. Here is a shout to you from Lebanon. (guys reply here with your country, let's show Scott where is he being viewed from)
Hey bud, you got some good youtube content! Hope Auckland gets back to normal soon for you. FIY did you know those holes in the hammer shaft are for doing truebolt nuts up. Not sure what size they are though a 19mm and 15mm would be choice.
Hey bro, Vince from Gold Coast Australia. Love watching your video and yours are the one I watched every single episode, they were amazing. I would like ask some favour from you: where did you get your Dalluge 16oz timber handle hammer? Can I buy from NZ and send to Australia? Where can I buy the double blade hand saw that Camerons using? what brand and model is it? Very keen to get them. Thanks in advanced.
Sorry to hear that Scott. Lockdown is really rough, we have been through levels 5 to 2 in South Africa. We can only buy alcohol and cigarettes now in Level 2. Keep your spirits and we are hoping for the best
I’m in Melbourne, we have a curfew, you can’t be outside between 8 pm and 5 am, You can’t be more than 5 k from home, permits required for travel outside these conditions, only one person can shop at the supermarket, all other shops closed, every day we have a lot of people passing, in Victoria now we’ll over 300.
Scott's online courses, might be successful due to everyone stuck at home and learning DIY with all this free time, I realised I hate gardening even more xD
Loving the videos Scott. Shame to hear about your level three mate. I’m in NSW across the ditch and has to cancel all my wedding plans. Some of these lockdown restrictions are just crazy. Very humbling to see a 10 yo inspired by you as well must warm the heart. And terribly sorry to hear about your camera, last thing your business would have needed in these times. Keep on buddy & stay safe J
Before your channel gets really big... I would like to suggest that you should do more "how to" carpentry. There probably isn't much to explain in demo but when building that'd be awesome to get constant tips. Maybe you already do this but I haven't watched enough yet. Greetings from the U.S.
90% of my tools are Makita.... the reason I choose Makita is because they are their own company and make their tools. Other brands are owned by a parent company and several brands are produced under that umbrella. NOT SAYING that those brands are bad,.
Our economy’s so broken that they had to drop us to level 2 here in South Africa just so people can hopefully start working. But the damage has been done corruption has killed us
Cheers scott!! I live in Canada and have to say I love the videos! My fav is the different terms you use for stuff like "nogs" keep up making great video's and stay safe all of you
Tile underlay is supposed to be installed with nails and no glue. This is to allow for movement in Sydney Australia the sheets come printed with the nail pattern and instructions do not glue. But after 24 Years as a carpenter i prefer to glue and either nail or screw. Disclaimer your area and climate conditions, new or old house or making sure your work is to spec or is to get certified dont be stupid check before installing.
I've seen those SimpliSafe systems that a lot of builders in the US seem to use, is there a similar site security system to prevent tool theft in NZ? That way it'd be fine leaving tools a bit longer, no packing & unpacking each lockdown, perhaps
Hi Scott! Great video and sorry about the camera. However, you have bought a great camera and moving to full frame is amazing. The EOS R is such fun to use and I would get a few primes 35mm or 50mm & 85mm and you'll love it even more. If the budget stretches get the RF glass it is amazing and the RF 24-105mm f4 L is pretty damn good.
Cheers man. Yeah I'm loving the camera so far. I have ordered an EF 16-35mm f4 for the majority of what I do and I am looking at getting some sort of medium zoom for those close up shoots. Would an 85mm prime work well instead? Also that RF glass is pretty tempting but it costs more than the camera 😂
So cool to see the kid inspired by you!
Love your channel aswell. Espically the CA glue. Wish they had that here in Australia

@@aeasthouse316 I guess I have a problem with people who think that, because there are only 170 thousand instead of a million, 170 thousand deaths (and counting) is somehow good and an acceptable price to pay in order to achieve herd immunity. Especially because the New Zealand (and Chinese, etc) experience has shown that there is a better way. Extrapolating the NZ results (which is of course not that appropriate to do because the numbers in NZ are so small), if the US had followed the New Zealand 'go early go hard' model then it would have had only 22*330/5 = 1450 deaths. That is a factor of 117 less.
Yes, the immunity studies are good news. But good news for herd immunity via a vaccine. It is morally and intellectually indefensible to use then to advocate herd immunity via letting the virus run rampant.
It didn't have to be this way.
I wonder if you will change your position if you or a loved one succumbs to the virus.
BTW, I am not bitter. I love life and I want to continue to enjoy it without having it snuffed out by the selfish and the willfully ignorant.
You guys are so lucky to have a smart Prime minister and everybody is following her advise.
Here in the US it's a mess and it will take until forever until this is over.
Smart PM... Pffft yeah right! All they need is the good intentioned stupid to keep believing in the lierus fairytale.
Same here in the UK
We have the worst government in london.
Travis the chimp ah yes, another believer that THE ENTIRE WORLD is in on an April fools joke. With stupid like you this thing will never go away. Thanks. And wear a fucking mask.
Smart prime minister 🙄 Don't be such a fool, if you can't see this for the absolute agenda that it is you're blind. This has absolutely nothing to do with a virus, I'm saying this as someone who has a sister that's a ICU nurse currently working on lung wards(basically covid ward). I say this out of love brother, please open your eyes and don't listen to what's being rammed down our throats as information by the fear mongering government and media.
@@tubbyrainbow111 you clearly have no experience of living in a country that has been properly impacted by this. Should count yourself lucky.
"Scott Brown Here". C'mon man that sets the scene for the video!
Hey bro, even though the rest of us are in level 2 ( rest of NZ) From what i have seen out and about everyone is probably feeling the same as you guys up north so even though we might be at different alert levels we are all still wanting/trying/hoping that together we can get through this again. Lots of love your Otago Whānau
Love your videos. Stay safe. Greetz from the Netherlands.
Have the plastic tabs snapped off the lens? It's fairly straightforward to replace the mount which is easy to get. 4 small screws and 2 very small ones, the mount pops off, replace and done
If the camera mount is damaged that can be replaced as well.
Hang in there m8. Love the video's, really like your relaxed manner even if things go side ways. I like to say : there are no problems only solutions 1👍
Wishing you luck with the Level 3 stuff. Also, thanks for all the amazing B-roll. Auckland is B-E-A-Utiful!
Pretty sure that the camera can be repaired. Looks to be the lens mount that's damaged
I had to go back and check if that's really a Milwaukee branded French Press at 3:18
Little guy is getting down building that deck 👍
I've used magnets on drywall to find the stud for years. The nails/screws don't lie.
Hi Scott, another great video, I really liked the letter from young Findlay, he is starting out in the trade very early, best regards from a ex Placemakers employee now living in Melbourne.
Been using those tips for gyprock for almost 20 years. Cant believe you didnt know about them. Those photos from the UK were great, good on him
Hi Scott! I’ve recently some how found you on TH-cam and I love all your videos. I would definitely hire you on the spot without thinking twice just because I’ve seen your videos. In my experience working with contractors in Chicago, by far I have never had one contractor compared to the work experience you have. There are good, great, and best. You are definitely in the best category! Also I also like your partner Pareau! Great team!
Love your videos, I am certainly learning heaps.
Thanks Scott for another fun vid. Stuck in stage 4 here in Melbourne. Very restrictive. Cops turn up even if you think of going outside. 😂👍
i assume the van is a grey import from japan and the extra mirrors are needed as the cities in japan are gridlocked and parking space is a nightmare so you are expected to get into spaces not much longer than your vehicle so being able to see the corners and rear bumper is necessary
Most of our vehicles in NZ are Japanese imports
That sounds true, I'm the first NZ owner of this van
Wow - even have the kids following your channel - you the man Scott - wish i had access to your vids as a kid so i could actually fix things around my house and get the mrs off my back.
Let’s chip in and get Finlay that Makita impact driver. Well done Scott, love this content.
Feeling pretty lucky to be in Taranaki. Hang in there Scotty, we've done it once, we'll do it again
Scott, check out Makita's drywall nose attachment for your impact driver. Model # 194633-2.
Keep up the great work and fun videos, regards Ardy in South Australia
Great video once again.. SBC what an amazingly talented 10 yr old from Dorset.👍😎
Scott you're lucky to be in New Zealand. Its good to see all you guys taking it so seriously but even here in Canada I wish we had your situation. All the best bud
No doubt, when the pandemic started Manitoba shut down almost completely. Here we are finally having that breakout they predicted back in March and are they doing anything about it? Nope.
Worries in United States.
All the best Scott, definitely my favourite youtuber.
Nice one Finlay and to your dad for getting you into a trade :)
Hi Scott. As I live in Central Otago we appreciate that Auckland is in level 3 and we stand with you in these challenging times. Is it possible to show a video on installing the flashing around a window?
I'm from the UK but live in China now. Love the videos and the stories and the general bants between everyone. Keep up the great work!
@valleywoodworker I feel totally safe, Health code check and body temp checks before the metro and entering public spaces like gyms, malls etc., as well as wearing masks most of the time when out. Apart from that, life is back to normal. No plans on moving back and if I did you wouldn't want the cheap tools China makes.
that's a great camera upgrade... not very robust though! you shoud buy a cage system to offer some protection!... thanks for the videos and cheers from Portugal!
We have local restrictions in Manchester (UK), but it does seem you guys are taking it more serious than us 👍
The letter and photos from Finlay are gold! That's so cool. Keep safe bro!
@Scott Brown Carpentry. It's great Scott that you're influencing the next generation of carpenters. Only good can come from that.
Hope you and your family stay safe and well.
Kick ass. I highly recommend that you start using sheathing with your weatherboards. It amazing your houses don’t collapse. Lol
Shot Findlay! your the man, awesome skills bro, keep up the good work!!
Scott Brown is all over the world.
Here is a shout to you from Lebanon.
(guys reply here with your country, let's show Scott where is he being viewed from)
Greetings from Lebanon
I'm glad you guys are healthy and can still work!
what a great video great to see the youth taking note of your skill set, keep up the great example.
Hey bud, you got some good youtube content! Hope Auckland gets back to normal soon for you. FIY did you know those holes in the hammer shaft are for doing truebolt nuts up. Not sure what size they are though a 19mm and 15mm would be choice.
Hey bro, Vince from Gold Coast Australia. Love watching your video and yours are the one I watched every single episode, they were amazing.
I would like ask some favour from you: where did you get your Dalluge 16oz timber handle hammer? Can I buy from NZ and send to Australia? Where can I buy the double blade hand saw that Camerons using? what brand and model is it? Very keen to get them. Thanks in advanced.
Sorry to hear that Scott.
Lockdown is really rough, we have been through levels 5 to 2 in South Africa. We can only buy alcohol and cigarettes now in Level 2.
Keep your spirits and we are hoping for the best
Love your videos man! Hope all goes well in NZ with the lockdown.
Good video, would like to see a similar one again with a Q&A or letters from others around the world.
I’m in Melbourne, we have a curfew, you can’t be outside between 8 pm and 5 am, You can’t be more than 5 k from home, permits required for travel outside these conditions, only one person can shop at the supermarket, all other shops closed, every day we have a lot of people passing, in Victoria now we’ll over 300.
Scott's online courses, might be successful due to everyone stuck at home and learning DIY with all this free time, I realised I hate gardening even more xD
Loving the videos Scott. Shame to hear about your level three mate. I’m in NSW across the ditch and has to cancel all my wedding plans. Some of these lockdown restrictions are just crazy.
Very humbling to see a 10 yo inspired by you as well must warm the heart.
And terribly sorry to hear about your camera, last thing your business would have needed in these times.
Keep on buddy & stay safe
J
Before your channel gets really big... I would like to suggest that you should do more "how to" carpentry. There probably isn't much to explain in demo but when building that'd be awesome to get constant tips. Maybe you already do this but I haven't watched enough yet. Greetings from the U.S.
No "Scott Brown here..." ?? We need a retake haha! Awesome video as always!
SCOTT BROWN, love the fan mail! Keep doing it and I might send you something!
"Scott Brown here" 😉 you Newzealandies are crushin it, in general contracting and with covid, nice pro looking signage, keep well mates.
90% of my tools are Makita.... the reason I choose Makita is because they are their own company and make their tools. Other brands are owned by a parent company and several brands are produced under that umbrella. NOT SAYING that those brands are bad,.
Our economy’s so broken that they had to drop us to level 2 here in South Africa just so people can hopefully start working. But the damage has been done corruption has killed us
Luckly for me our government dit not let a full lockdown happen. Builders and company's could still operate to some degree
Cheers scott!! I live in Canada and have to say I love the videos! My fav is the different terms you use for stuff like "nogs" keep up making great video's and stay safe all of you
Enjoy your review videos and your work!
Hey Scott do you find the Milwaukee crown stapler works well and what do you use it most for? Andre from Canada
Scott, love the content and the music. Keep it going. Stay safe
The team hearts hate is hibernian(hibs) over in Scotland. My papa was a hearts fan but I was brought up in Glasgow so I’m a rangers fan. 🇬🇧
Tile underlay is supposed to be installed with nails and no glue.
This is to allow for movement in Sydney Australia the sheets come printed
with the nail pattern and instructions do not glue.
But after 24 Years as a carpenter i prefer to glue and either nail or screw.
Disclaimer your area and climate conditions, new or old house or making
sure your work is to spec or is to get certified dont be stupid check before installing.
Nice job. Greetings from Sao Paulo - Brazil
I'm from South Africa and we don't build like you guys we prefer bricks, anyway love your work👍
I've seen those SimpliSafe systems that a lot of builders in the US seem to use, is there a similar site security system to prevent tool theft in NZ? That way it'd be fine leaving tools a bit longer, no packing & unpacking each lockdown, perhaps
Hi Scott! Great video and sorry about the camera. However, you have bought a great camera and moving to full frame is amazing. The EOS R is such fun to use and I would get a few primes 35mm or 50mm & 85mm and you'll love it even more. If the budget stretches get the RF glass it is amazing and the RF 24-105mm f4 L is pretty damn good.
Cheers man. Yeah I'm loving the camera so far. I have ordered an EF 16-35mm f4 for the majority of what I do and I am looking at getting some sort of medium zoom for those close up shoots. Would an 85mm prime work well instead?
Also that RF glass is pretty tempting but it costs more than the camera 😂
Hi Scott, whats the go with the plastic sill flashing/tray you make up in this video? What’s it called there?
Cheers, Dan
Sorry to hear about your camera. Just bought an Olympus Tuff so hope that lasts as Olympus cameras are apparently now out of manufacture.
