So - the splitting can often be solved by taking the point off the nails. When the nails are sharp the point tends to get between the fibres and then split them apart. What I do is to take a nail and give the point a whack to make it blunt (usually with the nail head in the location on the plank I'm fixing so the head also starts the fibre break... sort of like a countersunk hole). Then when it is nailed in the blunt end breaks the fibres first and it wood won't split.
For your gun nails you could try taking the point off with an angle grinder to get the same effect.... or you could nail by hand.
Just wanted to say thank you for recording these videos. You got me inspired to do carpentry and I started an apprenticeship last week and have been loving it every second😇
Congratulations dude! Are you changing careers or starting your journey?
Maverick Leadership I’m only starting my journey in it. Ive been trying to get an apprenticeship for over 6 months now and I’ve finally got it😇
Best of luck to you!
Nice one mate!
Love to hear it mate. I'm trying to get one at the moment, but not much you can do in level 4 lockdown in Auckland. Just did my first day helping out a builder a couple weeks before lockdown, was set to do more work and contact more people to gain as much on site experience as possible but the lockdown has put a real spanner in the works. I'll be back to it as soon as we go to level 3 though💪💪
When I was a siding contractor we dealt with the same issue often. Houses shift and settle. We would either run our siding parallel the soffit or the foundation. We would never use a level for anything, unless it was new construction.
Right on !
It's the only way on old housing, here we measure both from the soffit and the windows.
the original power tool (your arm) for nailing, Larry Haun would be proud
Hallelujah
I really appreciate your attention to detail...it makes all the difference. Also, Rich fits in perfectly!
Scott, you've got to the point where you're making videos about the most everyday things sublime, bravo.
Rich is so in the pack now he even designs his owns hoodies
Yeah. They should each wear a GoPro.
@@terryeckmeier7027 you'd never see scott he'd be full time editing lol
I hate that he’s edited this comment so now I don’t understand what the comments mean
4:29 thanks for reiterating this; know you said it in a recent video but such a valuable and overlooked tip is worth repeating. Great video and astounding craftsmanship, as always!
Not a long time viewer of the channel so I've gone back to watch the old episodes and see how the channel has developed over time. Its a great way to spend my days
Congrats on going down to Level 2. As an Australian, I'm looking forward to the day I can come over and enjoy your great land again
Great work,
great skill set,
great content,
great people,
great editing.
Your videos give me a good bit of nostalgia for a life I could have had, and also do have in a way. Thank you for that.
Vancouver Canucks REPRESENT! Good on ya, Richard. Loving all his NHL lids.
And of course, loving all the vids. Much respect from the Wet (not a typo) coast of Canada, Raincouver.
The shot you took at 26 seconds unlocked some cinematography circuits in my brain, thanks for that.
Hi Scott, I've had alot of success using the 'Paslode B20424 ‑ 65mm x 2.5mm T Finish Nails' for Baltic pine weatherboards. They're electro galvanised, and I use my Hitachi pneumatic T nailer to drive them home. The trick is to ensure the 'T' nails across the grain of the timber, so that the boards don't pull out. Because of their profile, they have no problem fixing into hardwood or OB. They also leave a small imprint, which makes filling them super easy for the painter. Been watching your channel from almost the start. Great videography.
A new Scott Brown video is a shooting balm for the soul. Always enjoyable - thanks, pal.
Man... I am glad you did not proceed to nail your weatherboards on with a framing nailer.
Best way is to pin them all up and nail them all off at once. I always predrilled any holes too. Just nailing straight through is a bit rough mate. The pine will always split slightly either side of your nail as it tries to wedge the timer gain apart.
Gunning up linea weatherboard is fine.
All the nail holes are pre-drilled if you look closely. It was done while he was figuring out the levels so the boards could go straight up and be nailed.
@@rlm5853 true true.... it did seem that he was considering shooting them with d head framing gun nails for a moment there. And even when nailing them off he was driving the nails all the way home. There would have been some hammer marks for sure .... was a bit surprised thats all. Maybe he hasn't done a whole lot of pine weatherboards? I would always leave the nail out a mm or 2 and punch it from there.
But hey each to their own
@@tubestick00 You are right but i have to say that the Dalluge hammer rarely leaves a mark when compared to my old old Estwing, even with some misses. I see Paslode promote a product called Joltfast that is still a flat head nail that is then punched in. Havent seen it used though but still feels like it should only be jolt nails like the Ecko gun uses.
Pre drill, then use a palm nailer, then fin off with nail punch.
Makes it so much quicker and easier
I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. And seeing your little tricks of the trade and the “why” answers as well. Keep up the awesome work sir. All the way from Colorado in the USA.
Scott! Once again, great video. The part at the end, where there were multiple Scotts on one frame!? Dude! I love your style and sense of humour 👍
Brilliant as always. Rich definitely brings some comedy value to the channel. Well done. Brave shout unlevelling all the windows too.
Just a quick thanks for the effort you put in to the edit and the choice of music. Makes for a really good video snack if you know what I mean. All the best.
Not even a carpenter but I love watching your videos man.
Amazing what you can still build in ‘Level 3’and in ❄️ an Auckland winter.’ 👍😎well done SBC.
Awesome effort Scott. Can’t believe how much detail you’re going to to get this weather boards spot on. Above and beyond mate! 👍🏼
That looks what we used to call German siding & hand nailing or a roofing gun is usually the best way to nail it...IMO
Always a pleasure to see your video’s Scott,I await your next video with great interest.Your attention to detail is first class.👍👍👍
Oh!
Just another 11 minutes of excitement and joy!
Thanx againg Scott!
Hay scott i was soo glad when the video did not end there the longer the episode the better. Keep up the good work. 👏👏🍻
I absolutely love your videos , even though I've been a Scaffolder for 16 years in the UK , just love it. 👍🏻
Lovin' the videos Scott. It's a pleasure to watch and follow along.
Congratulations! And thank you for your doing.
Hi Scott , love the videos and especially the choice of music that you choose to accompany the videos. Always an interesting and eclectic choice. How do you choose what music to use. Keep up the good work .
Scott, I just bought DWE7485 :D My wife hates me now. Greets from Poland :)
A what is it
And
@@sandrawalker902 DeWalt table saw I believe. Table saws scare the crap out of me...
@@sandrawalker902 google, which took as long as commenting to ask, says it's a table saw
Lol thanks
I learned on my first job doing siding, that siding does not need to be level, it just needs to look good and do its job. In fact a lot of things don't NEED to be level, but in your case it needs to be not level.
For Reno's yes, but new con no you need to level. But you can't tell me that in the middle of your wall if you have a dip or rise you'd be good with that.
@@batmansdad3195 as always, lines & levels & plumb on new build and lines & pleasing to the eye on renovations if level & plumb can't be made to work.
@@gazpal that's why I said for Reno's you can get away without leveling.
I work on both new and old, and yeah for old I won't use a level, but I will find a common ground point to appear "level" and snap my lines to make life easier.
@@batmansdad3195 Same here regarding types of work covered. It's why i said what i said and as an addition to your words rather than a contradiction.
Looks good for a hundred year old house, we call that cheating, building here in Tennessee. Example is "hey cheat that run of siding down a quarter", or "Hey start cheating that roofing around a little". Enjoyed the episode!
if it's all out of level, it's all on the level when the level isn't level w/ the original level of the leveled level.
optical illusion, same as seam filling drywall joints. They look "flat" from a distance but if you were to measure them you would still see/feel the hump in the surface.
This comment is on a whole 'nother level
thanks for leveling with me
Haha
The zebra. It is nice looking idea for your merchandise. Very builders look.
Enjoy the weather for me. It's been over a 100 degrees F for the few past months here in the central valley of California
Hi Scott. Fan of your videos. Odd how differently we do things in Finland. Like your attention to precision. Master carpenter from Helsinki.
Love your vids. I actually bought a paslode framing gun because they take paslode cladfast nails. That coupled with a no mar tip. You'll smash through it.
Man I love this channel makes me regret not becoming a tradesperson.
Beauty! Was just installing some weatherboard today actually. Good refresher.
G, day Scott and team, I remember! No... I, yes: making a weatherboard gauge/block. You sit the next board on top of the gauge and nail it.
It still troubles me/ new builds or follow the old lines, so you don't leave a box on the building.☕🍰🚲
I’m a fencer. We manage around 30m a day. That’s post and holes too. Don’t over do yourself. 4 days that would take a normal person. Try and do more you’ll be nackered
Pretty sure i drove past your van yesterday in Mt eden, i'm gonna keep an eye out next time i come past and yell out if i see ya :D
Anyone else think the frosted screen was him bluring something out 😂
Rich is a proper lad. Love it!
I think the amount that the weatherboards/siding was out of level was so slight that I would not have worried about adjusting the window installations. Plus, now there are TWO things out of level.
They are level with each other is the main thing.
Not a carpenter, but i still enjoy this stuff.
Awsome editing
Bubble is in the lines, its sweet 😄
Fencers use paslode nail guns. But more expensive but they have settings. Pull the safety jabber back and it doesn’t shoot it as hard. Only problem with oaslodes is they are too sharp so do leave a mark
Welcome to my life Scott we only use hand drive stainless siding nails on all our siding where I work no guns involved no roofing guns either
I may have missed it in a previous video, but im very interested in the difference in the way they nail weatherboard to the way we nail james hardie siding im the US. The way yall are nailing it leaves the fasteners exposed and puts the work of sealing the nail hole solely on a sealant or silicon compound. In the states we nail at the top edge so that the boards lap over eachother covering the nails from the row of weatherboards below - no need to seal the nails. I in no way intend this to sound like a "our way is better" comment - I am really just interested in the reasoning for the way yall do it there. I saw one of the previous videos you were explaining how you nailed them - seems like this way is the standard for your area, very curious to learn about the different practices in your area.
I'm a chippy from NZ. We fix weatherboard both ways over here but normally with timber weatherboard they are face fixed (faster exposed) to hold the board tight again the lower board. if you were to consealed fix them over time the wood will warp and cup causing big ugly gaps and undulations along the boards
Goes to show there's multiple ways to achieve the same goal!
I can see now why American houses fly away in a hurricane. Just kidding.
The weather boards are wood and if nailed only at the top would cup.
Mark Gilchrist so that’s the interesting thing the janes hardie we use is cement board not a wood product - I assumed that was the same with these weather boards but that does make more sense with a wood product.
Interesting to see the installation of timber weatherboards (soakers, grove along top, etc). We’re using Linea which is joined via tongue and groove and must be at least 100mm off the batten. Wonder what the pros and cons would be between the two
You gonna be going back to that job at the school soon was looking forward to watching that
U should try the Palm Nailer works a treat!! Up the Irish!!!!🇮🇪
DeWalt now makes a 20v cordless coil nailer. Yes has the fly wheel in it, but, it’s seems to work okay, & rather use it for a job like this than nailing with a hammer. Just really hate the hoses now & hope other brands release a cordless coil nailer too.
Cheers
It won't take nails long enough that meet manufacturers code here in new zealand.
vancouver canucks! how did that guy become a canucks fan in new zealand? cheers from vancouver
I wish it would rain here in California. We got some fires going on right now. It’s raining ash over here 😢
The first guy I worked for, the company had one compressor and one Senco, which had to be shared. The only other nail gun was me.
When when Paslode came along, it was party time.
Surprised Scott doesn’t already own a coil gun thought they were pretty common among builders
As an European its really strange seeing all your houses being made out of wood. No brick laying no foundation. Here we call that montage houses.
Had to look up the term, but I think you are using it wrong-- from what I could tell, a montage house is a house made of prefabricated parts. He is building it on site, so it's no prefabricated.
Speak for yourself. In Sweden 95% of family homes are made out of wooden studs.
Sweden, Norway, Finland mostly Wood houses
NZ sits on two tectonic plates = earthquakes. Earthquakes not so good for brick houses or buildings. Plus lots of land in Auckland is clay, so there's movement to think about, esp when there's a drought.
There are plenty of brick/block/concrete foundation homes in NZ. This is an older house so is mostly wood. A very typical build in NZ would be solid concrete foundation, timber framing on top for internal walls and a brick veneer. This way you get the weatherproofing/long life of brick, a solid floor and internal timber walls that are very strong and flexible. The interior walls are also easily moved/adjusted as you need. The one drawback with timber/drywall walls is they are poor at insulating sound.
is the milwaukee packout worth getting just for the looks? I wish they make drawers instead of unpacking the whole thing just to get to the bottom.
Had to show my daughter the shopkins at the beginning. Pretty funny.
Gday scott, you can get jolts for the framing nail gun, we use them. Nz
Man, what a pain in the butt to do that...but you do what you have to do S.B....great finish though.👍
I love the Scooby Doo work Van, lol.
New stylish pullover to market your brand.
Great video as always Scott, by the way I see you haven't installed the cavity batten before putting on the weatherboards, is that okay to pass the inspection though? Cheers
Thanks for video. Hammer-meister - and knows it.
Was that a new Makita 40v hammer drill I spotted? 👀😍😂 @ 2.57
good music bro
Another excellent video Scott and team. I've been watching them for a year or so and putting what I can to use here in London.
I'm coming home for a while in late October, if I see your van I'll shout out and say hi.
All the best
You're matching existing siding so little opportunity to install a decent rainscreen, but a product like Benjamin Obdyke HydroGap would have been an option to get some airflow behind that siding.
Check out gecko gauges. For cladding that's thin enough and can left unfixed at the bottom until the end, they are brilliant.
Love the videos. Why do you not put battens under to create air flow?
hand nailing the best.install period
you can feel and control the nails best way by far .screw all that gun stuff
Agreed I’ve only ever hand nailed timber cladding, here in Australia
Hey Scott, in NZ do you just use standard pine weatherboards, or are they a hardwood board? Curious what you are using in this episode. That house is looking awesome now, great work!
Canucks fan, my man!
Paslode have a nose attachment, called joltfast with 75mm jolt head nails
Hey Scott, which Rafter square do you use (and is it metric or imperial)?
Love your video by the way.👍🇬🇧
Pretty sure he uses a Hultafors MRS. They make it in both metric and imperial.
I say that a lot. It will all make sense eventually. 🍻
3:45,,,,,kettle dude you need the 18v Coffee maker 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Why is Richard wearing a Vancouver Canucks hat??
Tks. I dont understand, the nail are visible, why is’t not under other baord
Remi Bouchard will get filled and painted, it’s not a finished product yet
I know Luke, but here in canada we always prefer nail under the next one = no water in the nail home
Regards
@@remibouchard9282 Same here Australia... or at least at my house.
@@remibouchard9282 Are you nailing timber boards or a cement/Hardies type product?
I'd like to see these modern carpenters nail a house full of timber plaster battens by hand in to hardwood.
Level three! It’s the fucking purge out there bruv ! Lol
A palm nailer is a good alternative to the coil nailer.
Hi Scott. What type of weatherboards are you using?
Nice work as always
You can get paslode jolts that come in the strips
please make that hoodie to one of your Merch! haha love it
I'm surprised that the weatherboards were allowed to be attached directly over the framing/building paper.
I thought you'd have needed to leave a cavity between them?
What wood did you use? Those nail hot dip or flash galvanized? For cedar I use stainless, but anything else I use hot dip for nails get to be expensive fast
I typically always hand nail aswell.
Predrill where needed. Nothing worse than a split board to replace !
Unrelated question,on a job such as this do you quote , estimate or do charge up ?
Or a mixture ? I do alot of similar stuff on tauranga, easy to come up short with all the hidden work on the older houses.
This ones coming up nice, solid mahi.
Hes getting T&M on this one. Owner seems content with having him there and just paying the labor bills and reimbursing for material
If you thought the Martinez M1 was too top heavy, you should try the M4 for a future video
Alright Scott we all know you have 3 + brands of nail guns🙄😂😂😂 don’t need to make us all jel😂😂😂 jokes aside, love your videos bro!
What tape measure are you using, the Milwaukee? And siding nailers are nice to have when your doing lots of siding I like the air hatachi
Yes it's a Milwaukee tape
Thank you have one of my favorite TH-cam channels!
Why not keep all weather boards level, then on the external corner where you have your 25mm difference, use a boxed corner instead of corner soakers?
Nice
You wouldn't believe it but we need a lot more rain in Auckland because of the drought from a long dry summer.
It's weird, coz we've had heaps of rain since May and are taking more than double the water from the Waikato River than originally planned for, yet the reservoirs are only 66% full in total. Unless there's another reservoir built to feed the North Shore or storm water run-off is captured & recycled, water restrictions are only gonna get worse as more and more single houses on 1/4 acre plots are converted to 4 townhouses or 6-8 terraces.
The council wants to add another million peeps into Auckland over the next 30 years, but the infrastructure sometimes struggles to handle the 1.8 millions peeps currently here...
