I like how you tell your stories while doing a project. Excellent 👍
dont have the time to sit and chat.
Mate, from the burgh myself and about ages with you... recently got into woodwork and DIY as hobby and really enjoying the content. keep it up chief.
All my grandfather's brothers moved to Australia from Greece doing the same job as you . My grandfather opened a furniture shop in Athens and stayed in the northern Hemisphere. In the 50's it took 40 days by boat to reach Australia ( airplanes were prohibitively expensive for the majority of the population)
Story-time with Scott Brown Carpentry! HECK YEAH! Great video! Really enjoyed the back-story, editing, soundtrack, AND carpentry. Watching an experienced builder is invaluable as I get to see the order of operations towards how the project is put together in addition to any tricks/tips on how to make a quality piece.
Really cool story, and that router plate appearance brought a tear to my eye bro 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Love hearing people’s stories about where they’re from. The rain just makes this video.
Watching from Glasgow, great channel keep up the good work mate 👍🏼
I live about an hour and a half away from dunfermline in greenock cheers for the vids big man
So cool to hear this brother! I’m from Burntisland, born in Kirkcaldy living in Edinburgh and also have my own carpentry/joinery business. Been watching you a while and had no idea!
How your shirt matches your van is pure gold mate. Love it... and all your videos too 👍
I'm from Kirkcaldy neebur small world, been a fan for a long time got into carpentry because of you. Keep up the good work ,Alba gu brath brother
Only just joined your channel
Subscribed within the first ten seconds of the first upload I watched and really getting into this one good stuff bro
Cracked up at bottle of milk Hahaa
Don't know how I got to this video, but it was really well edited, enjoyed the rain, the story and seeing the letterboxes come together.
Loved the truck tire on the power cord. Nice to know that yellow cords are not discernible against black top in NZ in as much as here in the States. I guess we have that working for us. Keep up the great videos. 👍👍
I live in Kirkcaldy, about 5 minutes from Dunfermline. Been watching your channel for a while now and did not know you had ties to here. Crazy! Small wee world. Class videos mate, keep up the good work 😎
Awesome story Scott. You should be on TV! Well suppose TH-cam is the new new TV. Haha 👍🏽 Good stuff
I thought I heard a Scottish accent from your old man in one of your videos! Watching from Glasgow Scotland. Great videos!
you got to love those great stories from the parents and maybe one day they'll be passed right along to the new generation , cheers mate
Great story telling and working while you're doing it 👍 I am often confused by people that move so far, I can understand it for work but I have friends and family, also if you've been going a while, being established goes a long way for getting new business. I guess though I have a self employed way of looking at things. Keep up the good work and fair play for going back to Scotland for some familiar weather (lol) and for seeing how things are done there 👌
Just discovered your channel, great content!
I have a similar story, was born in the UK but we moved to Canada when I was 18 months old as well.
Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
I can tell you the weather today in Edinburgh is exactly the same! Been chucking it down all day 🌧. Your not missing much ! Keep up the great work and maybe see you back over here one day 👍🏻
lol not surprised, cheers. I'd love to go back some time
Now I know why I took a sudden liking to your channel lol being from the highlands myself and now living just outside Edinburgh, nah only joking mate it's not the only reason you have great content :)
That’s crazy I live in Dunfermline. Channel is great mate 🏴
Hi~, I am a builder in Korea. Since I'm planing to go to NZ. I'm waching your TH-cam videos and learning from them. Thanks!
I became your fan, looking forward to your next video.
Han I live in Seoul and would like to do some carpentry in my spare time... do you know any where that I can do this? I am from New Zealand and really miss the opportunity to work with my hands.
Thank you again for a lovely video. Cheers from Holland
Love the vids. Back in the workshop for a few days myself. Thinking of heading to NZ, but also thinking 45 might be a bit old for this paddy to go travelling again. Seems like your country is looking for a lot of carpenters/builders though
hahaha so you`re a mole. thanks or sharing man. recently subbed. awesome job you`re sharing. i`m on the trades too and learning a lot from you. take care. pete (ps the uncle no no no priceless :D)
I like this format. A project and a yarn. Very cool.
I’m from Dundee Scotland about 75 mins from Edinburgh and am apprentice builder/ Carpenter love your videos
NZ is very lucky to have you bro 👍
Carpenter from glasgow here, enjoy the videos and will even more now 😂
That so cool, I'm from Scotland, I live in lochgelly just by dunfermline
man what a catchy tune iam going to be humming that in my sleep now 👍
For most of the video I thought you were making a litter box 😹 I couldn't figure out why anyone would make a litter box 😂🤣 lmao
Me too! I also can't understand why he builds "dicks".
CraftManGreg that litter box looks shitty will not survive the rain
I worked in a supermarket once and someone wanted tuith pucks. 5 mins later, toothpicks lol.
The good 'Ole 4 cylinder tradie's van. Never see that used here in Canada. I came to Canada from Australia 13 years ago. The go to trades vehicle here is a V8 or diesel pickup truck.
Rarely see it in Australia either.
Lots of dual cab utes with a kitted out trailer, plenty of chippies rocking LandCruisers these days.
Mom's Scottish family did similar. She was born here though. I was born here but grew up in England. Came back when I was 16. I didn't choose that, which is why this video got my attention. Now I have a half/half accent that drifts depending how much football and UK TV I watch. Kiwis call me a Pom and English think I am an Aussie. Norwegians at sea thought I must have Norge blood and the Russians thought I was Russian when I first joined the ship.
It has taken a long time for NZ to feel like home. Only returning from two years in Canada 2016 did I feel like I was home. Only recently referred to myself as a Kiwi. Mostly Welsh and Scot, with the rest being English and I have an Italian surname. My step dad had a similar thing. They were Greek and moved to London when he was a kid. He had a hard time due to Greeks from Cyprus having quite dark skin. He got to see Clapton etc play in the late 60s. Then he jumped on a hippy bus in Amsterdam and drove half way across the globe. Ended up in Aussie and then here. Next thing I knew I was in primary school in London and having to learn very quickly how to fight (school was always fights and on the way home. Rough area and impossible to avoid 8 year old skinheads etc). I worked at sea so basically my whole life became the so called big OE.
I recently became disabled by spinal injury. I can walk but it is really hard and causes nasty flair ups. Physio at hospital has been for two years so far, but they have now said i will not recover. I so far have managed to defy my GP's wheelchair prediction. Gone from making lots of money at sea to needing a benefit and lots of treatment via public healthcare. Living at sea I would come ashore and buy a plane ticket to travel somewhere new. Two decades of the travel bug and the skydiving bug before that. Basically retired early at 50, but hoping to get fit again enough to work part time at least. Thinking about a tinkering business I can do from home because traveling is the hardest thing for me, plus I am half way thru an arts degree. If i was in UK I would be worried. I have read about paraplegic and completely blind people being declared fit for full time work by some dodgy company that is hired to do assessments for the government there, so having had bad luck I am fortunate it was here where you are not ruined by health or injury problems like in some countries. Loan insurance for my Jaguar wriggled out of paying though. Lost the car even though it was mostly paid off. They swooped to take it before I had a chance to sort out ACC and government assistance. I was not as angry i would expect. Shrugged shoulders and thought about what to do next.
NZ has lots of good sides. Downside is it is a small market and lots of things you might need have to be imported. In some ways the USA and Canada would be really easy to start up a business making something because stuff is cheap and easy to get and there are so many customers (I am interested in building guitar amps, but the parts are impossible to get here). I got really interested in making vodka. It is really hard to get it pure and not have odor or obvious flavor like vodka is supposed to be. I managed to get as close to mastering it as was possible with my equipment, but i don't drink and do not feel right about selling it (my nephew got some and I worried he would crash his car after drinking my vodka). That business idea was shelved. I was just interested in the science. How yeast works and then distilling is so interesting. Whiskey done right is harder. Need expensive oak barrels and peat etc. I also did thin mash moonshine made from corn and sugar. Coming up with a new plan and finishing my degree is on hold because on top of the injuries I have not been well, but I usually bounce back. Not sure what i will do, but making amps and guitar pedals is the thing that interests me most. Musos never have money though. But we can sell all over the world these days via online shopping.
Not sure why i am saying. Sometimes its good to write what you want to do and let it be known i guess -- plus a few times when i have written something people have commented how they related to it and it was helpful or something (i also like writing even though I have an issue with reading and writing that makes it a little tricky).
Hope things are going good for you bud
Nice story. My parents moved us out of Liverpool when I was 1 year old. Didn't ask my opinion either. Then I buggered off to the US in 1986 at age 21 and haven't looked back. Funny old world.
Dooooope shirt. Diggin the channel and carpentry insights
I would get something to protect that cable that keeps getting driven over. The wires eventually get smooshed and you have short circuit.
!!!!
Look on Amazon for Bosch table saw dust bag on. Very effective for its cost.
Me either and I’m glad I’m packing up and heading home to great sunny Australia next month
Good, we're glad...
Over here in Belgium it is also raining, so its workshop day!
No way Scot, I lived and worked in Dunfermline in Canmore St above the pram shop, there's a good chance your pram was bought from there 😂
Nice mate
I lived In Edinburgh
Between tollcross and the grassmarket
Awesome channel mate!
Nice video Scott, with a great view of Auckland as usual. My weekly dose of home. Q. Does the glue still take on that laminate?
Seems like you have quite a few Scots subbed to your channel!, we know a good guy when we see one!
Aye!! Scott brown me and my bro saw you in new Lynn last week at the bunnings lights haha your van sticks out like dogs balls mate 😁😁 You definitely need some shirts made up for giveaway advertising etc
I am watching from the Highlands of Scotland, where in the Highlands do your grandparents live? Love you videos.
This explains your work ethic. Well done.
How so?
Nice. I live in Dunfermline but originally from Edinburgh. 🏴🏴
According to Billy Connolly you should be living in Dunedin, where the sky is grey and the weather wet like Scotland. If it makes you feel any better about the rain, as I am listening to NZ play in the cricket World Cup, it is 17c in London today (in the bloody summer)
Watching in Scotland where it's rained constant for about a week 😂
Watching from Texas where it's been raining for six months 😓
I’m from Dunfermline! Weather still the same here
You cannae put timber posts in the ground pal.... all the best from sunny Edinburgh :)
@k1w1 it was a joke - going by what Scott said about his uncle from Scotland
love you videos scott thier brilliant im a bench joiner over im the uk id love to work with you such a good guy
Love how you have a power cord running across the driveway. Any plans to have power in your garage?
im from leven just a little bit east of dunfermline but do a fair bit of work through there, small world eh......also clocked that little bit track with the makita logo on haha i would have kept it aswell, my 3m track actually got delivered today!
That bottle of milk joke though 😂😂😂
Can you talk about your large measuring triangle / set square / t square combo thing ....please !
Hey Love your vids. What make is that Square you using in this vid?
Hey Scot how would you build a 18 meters long sfreestanding stud wall. 2.7 mts height? there is not ceiling in a warehouse and the floor is concret. One side ill be plastered and the other just the frame. Next to it will be a racking system that can hold tonns of weight so I was thinking of bracing the wall to that. Whats your opinion mate.
interesting that your using a tape measure as well as a folding ruler. We haven't caught unto the folding ruler in Canada, ever. I do have two steel rulers we use in the shop for accuracy and I guess its the same idea.
You got to come to California brother so much to do over here there’s a Lotta room over here and there’s a lot of work over here and it’s beautiful bro
Couldnt they give your storage unit a plug.
Love how the van at the other unit parks on top of your extension cord.
Hi Scotty, what type/model light fitting is that in your work shop? awesome vlogs btw.
Bro where’s your retaining wall video? Did u fullas finish that?
Love the story’s, 6:30 love it 😂
Oft been watching you a few weeks now then you dropped the Dunfermline bomb. Fellow joinery from rosyth.
"Bro, you look like a bottle of milk" hahaha, that's what they would say to me, except I'm more cookies and cream. Cool story mate!
Loved the comment .. ‘🥛looking like a bottle of milk’🥛👍😎
How do you not scar the bench or support piece when you are using your track saw?
You can’t have all the good weather. We need some here in Blighty.
What's the name of the square you're using at 5:03? I like the look of it.
6:25 ...had the same reaction when I heard/saw this concept :D
What that wild slide rule looking square you used here around the 5:00 mark?
That’s classic “bro you look like a bottle of milk😎”🤣🤣🤣
this is a Great episode ! timber posts in the ground, Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lol
As you know it always rains in Auckland, not necessarily where you are but usually somewhere in Auckland. I lived there about ten years, much drier in KalgoorlieBoulder now ....better for older people in the workforce .... don’t regret leaving .....
Excelente video !!!
Keep them comming Scott
Where did you buy the table saw legs? Cheers scott
So did you buy the shirt to match your van or did you paint the van to match the shirt?
so being from Scotland what kilt do you wear?
I'm a spark (industrial/maintenance) I'd love to move over to Australia or New Zealand, but I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to really consider it.
There's a desperate shortage of tradies here at the moment, you should have a look at the "skilled migrant visa" and see if your trade's on it. Or, depending on age 18 - 30 (or 18 - 35 from some countries) you can get a working holiday visa which allows you to work or study for some of your stay.
@@nikiTricoteuse 33 now, with a 2 year old. So I think my ship might have sailed. Saying that the wife is a nurse so you never know I suppose. We have mentioned it from time to time still.
That Uncle Sandy impression - "No, no"
wot do they do in Scotland, just fill a rough hole with boulders then pour some scotch on it?
A mix of disgust and utter disappointment
Nae nae, ye canny dae that laddie!
Tell us more about your awesome workshop that you're working out of in this video.
Genuine question: can you use plywood for outdoor projects?? Doesn’t the glue get wet and warp?
Asking as I have plywood and in lockdown and want to do outdoor projects.
If its h3.2 it's fine outside
So do you use dwang when talkin to family and noggin or block at work 🤔
whats the issue about timber post in the ground?
1987? I immediately think, AB's won the rugby world cup! I was 21 and stock market crashes weren't registering to my mind.
Hey Scott.
I see you went working in Edingburgh, what does a Carpenter do over there, as you wouldn't find much wooden frame houses would you ?
Thank you
I am from Glasgow and have worked in Edinburgh multiple times, there is a lot of wooden pre fab housing etc going up in Scotland, most commercial projects use metal stud but everything else is much the same (minus the weather of course) the building trade in Scotland is surprisingly good at the minute
I recon that NZ has those extremes of summer light and winter dark too hey? being far off the equator like the ancestral lands. Having lived in London UK for a year, I have to say that one thing I love about the new world is that class-ism is much less in Canada. I was on the outside of it in the UK, but I could really see people doing it to each other there sadly.
I was also born in Dunfermline. Used to be Scotland's capital, don'tchaknow?
I like the prison job story from a couple episodes back as well, "Hey bro, give us that grinder so we can get ourselves outta here "
great vid👌
Do your paslode nails not blow out nailing in line with the board? I always nail 90 degrees to the plywood.
From a joiner in Dundee 🏴 Really enjoy your videos
Blair Anderson Did your paslode miss fire when you first brought it?
No, not when I first bought it. Only if it needs cleaned or the gas is out of date or cold
Cheers from the States
Great Scottish accent impression!
