The guy shouting "hey Scott, love your TH-cam channel" was great. Love watching the progress on this job.
And great timing with the camera set up like that. ( Or Scott asked him to do a lap while he setup 🤣) 👍
Sneaky Kiwi’s
@@larry097 hey now, don't reveal the movie magic ;)
Almost 50 years old, but the fart at the end still made chuckle. Young for ever!
You could almost smell it !!!! 😂
@@rick2bees Well considering what he had for lunch....
caught me off guard and made me spill my beer
Haha
absolute gold!
Man I miss the NZ pies, I didn't want to believe it at first but you guys do a superior pie
Much love from an Aussie lad
For future reference easy calculation for working out the weight of the steel flat bar is volume in m3 (width x length x thickness) x 7.85 will give you the weight in Kg. Always handy to know what you lifting.
For my fellow American viewers the above equation is equal to 1”x12”x12” = 40lb.
It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.
Hey Scott, you’ve inspired me to apply to Carpenter’s helper positions in my area. I hope I can get on somewhere and begin my journey in this career field! Thanks for the awesome content and respect for the upload speed!
a boss like Scott B would make it enjoyable , there's a lot of shit people out there that make the work hard and less enjoyable
Henry fletch Yep it's a real fuckin' bummer. If that's the case, just take what you can learn from em and stay in your own lane with personal stuff. Tradesmen love talking and bantering, just better when it's about surface level things
Henry fletch and here I am in my second week as a carpenters helper and my supervisor is a shitty person making the work harder on me that necessary... love the work hate the guy managing me.
@@CorwinDG yeh it makes it hard if there were more opportunities in the area I would leave try elsewhere
@@CorwinDG Mate I did 4 years bus driving same type of thing moron in office bitching about impossible things like not being caught in traffic jams. I quit and moving on.
8:47 heartwarming content
10:23 - Arsewarming content
Routing out a channel on the additional post studs is a nice detail; shows a high level of professionalism
Passing crossover guy: "Hey Scott, I love your TH-cam channel"! :D
Best part of any day is seeing your uploads, thanks for the great content. Btw very jealous that you guys beat the virus down there
New Zealand minutes must go by faster because these videos fly by. I could watch this all day.
I love the positive vibes in your videos, Scott. Makes me miss NZ a lot. Thanks to you i'm thinking of starting a carpenter apprenticeship here in Germany. I'm hoping that it will help me find work anywhere in the world (although NZ would be very nice).
Cheers,
Johann
English Carpenter of 40 years living and working in Australia for last 22 of those. Watching your videos the building in NZ is more varied and more English in style. Think I should have gone to NZ instead of Oz. You get some interesting jobs makes me jealous. Qld building is dire at best.
Just bought the same laser yesterday ! You can connect them with your phone to 👌🏻
Check out the motorised base it very handy but pricey.
its a pretty expensive laser
I've just started a job renovating 3 flats. With your advisory from your old vids working in Scotland. I've had all trades covered all banisters and door frames with Hardy board. My job job looks more professional and the client loves the extra step we have done.
Thanks for the tip I've put a little sumit in your Paypal
"Family show" 😂😂😂
Good work boys!! Mean mahi
love the lazer scott, and yea your right that attachment is used to level out a grid cieling , you clamp it on the metal wall angle and then you use the target to get an overall level grid through out the whole cieling. I Install dropped cielings as a trade and we use those lazers all the time.
Used that in conjunction with the green plastic thing. Well, mine is red, I have a cheaper red cross line laser. Love the Bosch laser though. Leveled the ceiling out with plastic packers. Could place my level anywhere, it was spot on. After plastering is looks really tidy. Nice time saving tool. If I would have to buy it again, I would seriously consider one like Scott showed. Worth the money
WHO warns: SBC is addicting. I need a psychologist! I need to work, there, with you!!!!!!!
renovation carpentry is my shit, keep it up. i love hearing you explain why you're putting wood where because of old home bs
have the same laser, and a good accessori for it is the motorised base for it , named RM3, real handy when checking diagonals and doing fine adjustments like plumbing up large walls, just set it up rougly at say, 5 cm and go to the other end of the wall and adjust to 5 cm and boom, u got a nice line to plumb up the wall, i find it very helpfull
I love how 90% of the comments are about Rich’s farts, haha love me some Scott Brown Carpentry for the sole purpose that it’s a few good dudes doing what they love and have fun doing it. Cheers boys.
Rich reminds me of Randy quaid in national lampoons Christmas vacation 😜
no matter your age, everyone will laugh a good surprise fart lol ! enjoyed the upload
Very good work young man,
Extreme steel beam camera shot 😂😂 i love it. Good progress boys keep it up. 👍👍🇳🇿
Another exciting ‘windy’ episode.
Finally a Bosch tool 😁😂
Great job to everyone! Been following your channel for some months now 👍
Greetings for Norway 🇧🇻
Nice job, flinch beam you can't beat them, very strong!!
Any particular reason you prefer them over a steel or engineered timber I-beam?
The steel is liftable so is the timber ... If you can do it with two people it beats heavy beams
I believe it's a flitch beam.
@@stanleysiewierski Thanks for correcting my spelling!! when you get to my age you can just see the key board
Whenever I see you get pie, it reminds me of good ol' Georgie Pie.
Hey Scott, thanks for taking the time and effort to share your work 💪
Nice job on that beam and nice to see the teamwork with both Pareau and Rich on these bigger jobs. Cheers!
Been good watching all the framing and engineering happen
I’ve had that laser for a while now (I’m a dry liner/ceiling fixer) it’s helped me out to no end.
Do u think it’s better then dewalts laser or stabila?
Nicholas Huss Absolutely. I tried my mates DeWalt and it’s not as versatile
Freddie Lee Thompson good to know, thank u for the reply much appreciated.
G, day Scott. As an alternative tie-down 10mm zinc rods (you can buy thread connectors and square washers). Saves a lot. That strutting beam is smart design. You can clip the laser level after leaving a datum mark.🕳
I'm really digging this Reno.
I like how rich is still involved even after his house build... Could you of used the magnetic clip from the lazer for the go pro on the steel?
really good workmanship guys
That pie looked so good.
Yes, he bought some Bosch Tool. I have GSR 12v-15 drill and the sircular saw in same series.
I love your video so much👍🏻
Fletch beam is so heavy. Smart work
Flitch* plate
8:46 must feel good when driveby random person yells about how awesome your channel is. Your working and videos are great, grows nice reputation around you!
Was a set up for the vid. Seen that van before in other videos lol
What a double act! You and Richard should work together more often. As always utterly brilliant!
G’day mate....just stumbled across your stuff.....Well done...subbed 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
watch your channel too unca knackaz 🤪
I like the strap behind the top plate first thing that was thought out.
Process for watching a Scott Brown video, hit like button and watch video. Keep up the good work mate.
Nice and clear plans. Love it
Somebody missing when the heavy stuff needs moving 😂
beam me up scottie!
I see what you did there 👍
Nice job
In the USA we would spec an engineered beam - it's just as strong and lighter than the two wood beams without the steel beam.
Nice job.
Redwood framing nice
Musta been some good grole rich!
Great little video packed with practical tips thanks.
That was the best ending I’ve ever seen on one of your videos 😂👌🏽👊🏽
A well timed fart never gets old👍👍
Hey Scott you should check out the motorised base for that laser it's very handy for fine adjustments from the other side of a room when you're working by yourself, also a must buy is a rechargeable battery kit that goes with the laser. The one they ship it with is pretty crappy and mine broke one side of the plastic locking arm after a month from just taking out the battery. It could be the batch I got but check your beam one side of the line is finer/sharper then the other and use that to set your reference lines.
That wood/steel/wood laminate was interesting.
On one of the earlier videos I was thinking that was a lot of weight to put on a wooden beam and then it's solved with a sheet of steel as the filling in a sandwich.
Scott's Cartman impression "EXTREEEME!" 6:43
Love the video. You and Rich are a mint team
This series is great!
You put your tower upside down mate, Lived in Mt Eden for a couple of years back in 97-99. I miss the pie's :)
Will somebody please change the battery in the smoke alarm! You guys have been there for over a week now! How has it not driven you crazy!?!?
Ayyyeee you went to my favourite bakery. Shhhh I don’t want people stealing the food before I get there
You are inspiring me to go into carpentry maybe in New Zealand
Brilliant work! 🇺🇸 fan!
Let’s see a skate board set up
great vid. make sure that 'V" support on top of the beam is better secured to the beam below. I only see nails holding that "V' brace in place. thanks
8:47 hey Your a famous man. God bless all of Us.
Always good ... so informative. I loved the Fan base too!😁
6tyty go vhhkohhjhuiduurueueuuuedg
Him K lol
Should call it Xtreme Cam maybe throw in some explosions in the next exciting episode of Scott Brown Carpentry
It’s really awesome to watch you work Scott. Great team synergy and admirable work ethic. Bravo!
Loving the channel and the content. When is the martinez hammer review coming. Thinking on buying one myself to take over from my estwing framing hammer.
Hello from the other side of the globe. Love the content!!
My local pub used to offer a 3 course lunch to builder for $5............................a meat pie and 2 schooners of beer!
Stavros of yesteryear
After all that exercises with the wood beam and the Steel beam , well have a break with a " family show"😁😁😁!!!👍🇫🇷👍❤️❤️❤️
Always keen to see what rich has for smoko
Just a little constructive criticism, but you guys assembled the scaffolding upside down. The diagonal bracing on the jacks (frames) point down, so you can plank it solid if necessary 😉.
Love your show 😘🍻
Howdy from Nebraska USA. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I've been a carpenter here for over 20 years. Never seen a setup like that combo of steel and dimensional "timber". We use engineered lumber like "LVL" and "gluelam". Are these things not available in NZ? They would save alot of time and probably money for you guys
Kiwi DIY spirit I guess, not so available (but definitely around), but would seem easier to lift in multiple sections than a single laminated piece? I'm not a builder, just a Kiwi making some guesses, so I could be wrong.
Loose floorboard at the end there? 👍😂👍💨💨
Love the videos Scott but there is something about using pink coloured wood that makes me worry every time I see it. It makes me think of candy floss.......
Hi mate. I have been on tour around the world with different productions for the past 15 years. You should have a look at the tool storage and portable work shops that entertainment touring crews implement. Moving high end fragile equipment is a big part of what we do. Given the size of your operation & limited storage/truck space, I am positive the productivity gains, physical space savings would be well worth the investment.
Cheers
Great entertainment like always! 👍🏻
Probably needed Paerau to help lift the beams mate. Good work
Hate checking out for stud straps and strip brace straps. Pretty certain Mitek almost have a complete stdudlok screw alternative fixing method now.
The guy in the truck saying what we're all thinking.
i have that same laser, I love it 👍🏽
Heads up, Scott... if you’re noticing view figures a bit off in the US. I recently You-Tube automatically adds commercials in the middle of vids over 10 mins long... even if the creator opts out of it. It doesn’t bother me, but I’m just me.
Scott please , please, please replace the battery in the smoke alarm!!!! It's driving me crazy! 😨😨
Nice job!
Scott, the mobile scaffold is built upside down
In case somebody else hasn’t already mentioned in the comments we call that steel plate a “flitch beam” here in the States.
Cracking fart Rich.
Hey nice vid big man, you framed the lintel above the door vs up against the top plate (and then frame down to the doorway). Is there any benefit to it that way?
Just asking because i put headers up out the way to allow for re renos in the future incase door or window sizes change...trying to learn but it might just be 6 and 2 3's
Thank you. I am at a job where the headers had to be raised for 8ft doors. I sure would have loved to followed you.
In nz pretty much all our lintels are installed this way. Generally with a reno a new window or door height will remain the same but might be narrowed or widened. In the latter, the lintel will need to be replaced regardless of where it is installed. Much easier at the lower height to work on and install. These are only my thoughts. Ther is probably a good reason why in other countries lintels are installed under top plates too
Love the content and I’m just having a joke hear but was expecting to see a big old I beam going in there 😂 a wee flitch plate was disappointing 😂
Richard is the Yoko Ono of SBC……….🤔
Random drive by compliment - done :)
every video i watch you're working on the same house.....is it ever going to be finished? :)
It's a big job man
I have a question. We made a mistake and drilled a 2 1/2 inch hole in a 12” load bearing beam. How much did it weakens the beam? And is there a way to add support to it where the hole was drill?
Awesome work Scotty hey I notice a Makita Vacuum near the end of the video . Is it any good bro ? I’m thinking of getting the DVC157LZX2 AWS version. Keep up the great work love the videos 👍🏽
