Just wanna say this real quick, I love every single one of you episodes. Everytime I’m thinking how you just keep on making every new video better than the last one. It’s just perfect! Thanks so much for your work!
0:27 Gets so excited to finally frame; 0:29 has to move all the appliances stopping him from framing. Ha ha, isn't this how all projects go?! Great video.
I think .. everyone needs to have a friend like scott! It’s just one of them dynamical things that just balances... well life really. I love the videos bro. Was that a lollipop wrapper you found?? 😹
I know the feeling when you get set up in side or under cover when the weather is bad , I love it when you pull up on a job and see they have a carport it’s such a bonus setting the chopsaw up under one 👍
Love watching your channel. Relaxing watching someone else work🤪 I like the way you do things. Plus you’re a cool dude. Enjoy seeing a little bit of New Zealand. Peace out! 🤪🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
First day back on the tools here in London! I enjoyed your exciting episode and it's nice to see progression with the build and the world returning to a new normal!
Way hay!!!!! I’m back on site in the morning here in the U.K. glad to see everything is as great as a Reno should be ( no matter where in the world you are ) keep safe
Hi, Scott! Water can do amazing things. I remember my first kitchen. I could demolish it without tools because of its rot. Even the 4cm counter top was broken in half easily. Regards, Etna.
Hi Scott. The roof of your van can only hold 100kg and that must include the weight of your racks. Be careful when loading timbers. It didn't look like there was close to that much there but its something to think about. Keep up the great videos 👍
More "Hi, Scott Brown here" please! I think we're all so used to it that it almost hurts to hear when it's missing! Every famous youtuber needs a well known tagline/catchphrase.
Looking at your framing for the laundry connection. I would ask you to move that stud (packing) over closer to the middle. Our method in the US requires a p-trap in one Bay and the sanitary tee in the adjacent bay, with at least 4" of pipe between them. There's just never enough space in one bay for all that jazz (our typical studs are 16" centered, giving about 14-5/8" between.) Curious about plumbing standards in NZ. CHEERS! Love your channel.
Nice one Scott. Cool vid as always. Level 2 eh! Jealous! Well, Boris has said we’re heading towards level 3 from 4 but it’s more like level 3.5. Almost there but actually miles behind you guys with your very progressive PM. She seems like a real inspiration. Stay safe and keep up the excellent work! 👍🍺
Great video Scott, delighted things have improved in NZ for you here in Ireland things we are still in lock down but the number of sick and infected are dropping , nice to see you using the tools again Stay Safe
You Irish folks are doing the right thing too Meanwhile here in Australia the worst performing state in the country is opening pubs and clubs in a few days time (nothing to do with the pokies I'm sure)
We also have a fairly compliant and small population. The virus arrived later than the UK so we had data to work from. But we are not out of the woods yet, it could still turn nasty.
Regarding the trolley: be ready for those tires to be mostly flat every time you need it. I ended up putting tubes in mine. Worked well for almost a decade. Then I went and bought replacement wheel/tire set. Total investment of 100 USD. OVER 20 YEARS.
I usually use a grinder for nails wood or concrete to avoid holes. Less damage to wood or concrete, easier, and avoid the odds of nailing/screws on or next to the empty nail hole for cracking or loose application.
Old framing sizes: 100x50 (4x2) is available, rough sawn and H1.2 treated, SG8. It is way more expensive than gauged, but also can save a lot of time in the right situation.
As someone from Europe who lives in a propert stone, brick and mortar house, it must be a nightmare to live in a house made so cheaply like this that slowly rots away underneath you. Even tho leaks can create problems even in a brick houses, it is much less of a problem.
Quality, quiet (Star Wars sound actually), not smelly nor requiring gas/servicing. Powerful. Heavier so may not suit all. Uses batteries (kit comes with two, charger & decent case) but then so do most of our other tools, gets a fair whack of nails out per charge.
I've had no end of troubles with mine. Constant misfiring. It fires, but doesn't shoot a nail. I've seen a few you tubers mention the same issue (including Scott) but no one seems to go into detail about it. Everyone has told me its a nail issue (too much glue on the nails) but it does it with all brands / different batches. I've since realised its the spring mechanism in the nail cartridge. It doesn't push the nails all the way up. If you use your spare hand to push the lever up while firing, it shoots a nail EVERY time - let it go and is misfires more often than not. Two handed firing is obviously not ideal! About to go back to Hikoki to see what they say. Unfortunately I wasted a lot of time trying different nails, so it might not be covered by warranty. Almost ready to bin the thing!
@@dankent8060 bugger on the misfire, I have had mine for 5 months and had misfires on paslode nails and then switched to ecko and have had no problems (the whole glue/paper issue). am assuming you have opened up the nail race and cleaned out around the firing pin etc to get rid of any residual glue - and therefore could just be a bung one. have had good response from hikoki nz with a past warranty claim on a drop saw, had it fixed and back to me in 3 days - best to ring them direct to sort it I believe. Other than that @barrytheglasgowjoiner it is a good piece of kit but it is heavy. am about to do a whole scratch built, stick frame job (most stuff comes in prenail packs in NZ) so will see if my forearm and tool belt can take it. also needs a better belt hook. is decent quality but it only fits on belt not on a joist/rafter
I have the Hitachi version (before the name change) and mine has not skipped a beat... it has never misfired. I gets used regularly. At the moment it is recladding our house with the weatherboards... and has worked brilliantly... (but I can't remember the brand of nails I am using...)
That Hikoki framing nailer is the best on the market bar none now. What is happening with your airbow - I know it's kinda still in the BETA stage hence why they sent ya one, but it seems to not get a look in now? Great vid. Always nice to pull stuff out that is shot to pieces and put in fresh timber. Thumbs up, watching from the UK.
If you could recomend a vehicle for an apprentice what would it be. I am also thinking of purchasing some festool mini systainers for screws, drill bits ect. Do you have any experience with them. Well done from Tasmania.
Remember we are only a country of less than five million people surrounded by water. Point being, it's a breeze containing a pandemic here compared to a city with five million. There are about seventy-five cities with populations larger than NZ, some closers to forty million. Our PMs goal is that job at the UN, apparently a certain Canadian PM wants it as well. All is not what it seems.

" how i take nails out of concrete " my Boss on site doing the same thing on a Hilti nail 40 years ago. the nail snapped and a small hole appeared in the 4mm glass partition i was fitting 4 metres away. missed my head by 100mm. cheers from australia
Hey I just found your channel and it's pretty satisfying watching the work progress! Wondering if you could help with a Q, I've started renovating a bathroom which also had a water leak. How do you know when studs needs replacing? Like if it's not breaking off but you can see it's been damaged?
What blade do you use for cutting through nails in framing with your reciprocal saw. I have the same one but found the Makita blades wear out pretty quick.
@@ScottBrownCarpentry Keep up the great work man!I actually bought the paslode,you were very convincing haha! Stay healthy and looking forward for many more episodes!!!
When framing, why do you use a nailgun over screws. I get nails are faster and cheaper but do they not work loose overtime or is that only applicable for floorboards as you get the infamous squeek after a few years.
Hey Scott, do you find the finishing nailer is generally ok with old hardwood trim? I’m reusing they old rimu trim in my 1950’s house, and thought about buying a finishing nailer, but are worried it will just split the timber.
It's done more frequently in new buildings and when things are seriously renovated. Most older buildings, no-one cared. Energy was dirt, dirt cheap until around the 70s, so they just ventilated and re-heated. Fun fact: Early hot water cylinders had an electric heating element that was on 24/7. If you didn't use hot water and it reached boiling, it just boiled off and the float valve topped up the tank.
This is what happens when you have a top notch country. Go Kiwis! I'll bee cheering my favourite NZ rugby team on from next month, while my country acts like idiots and goes for a ball of poop. Thanks for the vids Scott.
@@ScottBrownCarpentry I am from England so thought it was quite interesting. From google searches it didn't give a straight answer as it said it depended on the wood. Now I know 😄, cheers Scott.
stupid question here: I noticed that you fire nails at an angle into the studs. I've seen other contractors use strong-tie metal braces. What's the difference?
We always start with nails, but sometimes we add the metal connections if the plans specify it That would normally be on an external wall and especially near windows. The metal brackets are to prevent uplift, bracing and/or part of a firewall system. We focused on it in this episode here th-cam.com/video/vBRPrK8Uu8M/w-d-xo.html
NZ has some native species but these do not cause any serious damage to timber in either forests or construction. we do get borer damage in older homes where the timber is not treated
Scott covered this in a previous vid. NZ building code says timber treatment hazard class H1.2 is now required for radiata pine and Douglas fir timber in buildings, where it is protected from the weather. H1.2 gives framing timber good protection from decay. H1.2 boron treatment is colour-coded pink. so yes, probably a NZ thing
does ANYYYYYYONE have any tips from getting the backing board (scrim) out beind the scotia?!?! when it runs horozontal AND vertical? ive been using a sabor saw with a long blade to cut the nails but its a bloody nightmare and face full of dust
If you can use money you already understand metric. 100 cents in a dollar. Just like 100 centimetres in a meter. No silly fractions although you guys still try with the "quarter" and "half dollars" instead of 25 and fifty cents.
Tehcarp that was my first thought but he uses all electric nailers and a blower so I guess not. Can’t remember seeing him have one in his storage shed.
@@ScottBrownCarpentry is there a specific reason you can't buy them in new zealand anymore? did they not meet code? Im from aus and was looking at getting one, so just interested
@@jamiemcauliffe8528 there were problems getting PPE out of America, I think it was Covid related. Gaston at Piranha Tools has since sorted out some more shipments, so the rules must of changed.
Ok Scott. I see the Festool hose hooked up to your Dewalt Compound Miter Saw. Was it a straight fit, or did you need to use an adapter? And...is the dust collection ok with that set up? Thanks. Love your channel.
Hi, the Festool and DeWalt are a straight fit, no adapter needed. I would say it works fairly well but you do end up with some dust on the machine at the end of the day. I think most of it escapes out the back of the cut but it's still better than having nothing.
Hello. is that the hultafors adjustable wrecking bar? how do you like it? Is the adjustable claw sturdy enough? Does it eve slip, etc....? Thank you very much in advance!
It is the Hultafors bar. I really like it so far. I had similar concerns to you but so far it has held up just as strongly as any other bar. Like any tool, the ultimate test is time though.

Tehcarp that was my first thought but he uses all electric nailers and a blower so I guess not. Can’t remember seeing him have one in his storage shed.
Nah that’s not a thing in NZ, we all use gas canister guns or battery powered
Just Mitremate that bit of the frame back on! haha
Awsome videos dude, what mask do you use? I currently use the trend stealth but I find it a bit bulky and in the way
I'm pretty sure he still uses RZ Masks. th-cam.com/video/uPYsFODVMJg/w-d-xo.html
Still using the RZ mask, can no longer buy here in NZ so I am using up what I have.
Scott Brown Carpentry how do you rate them? Do they give decent protection
@@ScottBrownCarpentry is there a specific reason you can't buy them in new zealand anymore? did they not meet code? Im from aus and was looking at getting one, so just interested
@@jamiemcauliffe8528 there were problems getting PPE out of America, I think it was Covid related. Gaston at Piranha Tools has since sorted out some more shipments, so the rules must of changed.
Ok Scott. I see the Festool hose hooked up to your Dewalt Compound Miter Saw. Was it a straight fit, or did you need to use an adapter? And...is the dust collection ok with that set up? Thanks. Love your channel.
Ha. I was studying his connection too. I have a karcher M class vacuum and the same saw. You wouldn't believe how quickly the bag fills up.
Hi, the Festool and DeWalt are a straight fit, no adapter needed. I would say it works fairly well but you do end up with some dust on the machine at the end of the day. I think most of it escapes out the back of the cut but it's still better than having nothing.
@@ScottBrownCarpentry that's a bugger. I'm using the ProNT-400. Bit of an all round vacuum but it's powerful and probably picks up 80-90% of dust.
Maybe I missed but why there's moisture and rot ? What exactly was leaking?
water heater
@@sydneyshinshi Thanks!
Hello. is that the hultafors adjustable wrecking bar? how do you like it? Is the adjustable claw sturdy enough? Does it eve slip, etc....? Thank you very much in advance!
It is the Hultafors bar. I really like it so far. I had similar concerns to you but so far it has held up just as strongly as any other bar. Like any tool, the ultimate test is time though.
@@ScottBrownCarpentry ok got it. thank you very much. i am going to get it and try. thanks again!
Where do you buy Titebond here in NZ ? Havn't seen it anywhere and keen to give it a try. Thanks and great video.
Try Carbatec or Glue Guru. I've bought from both over the years..
@@ScottBrownCarpentry Awesome thanks 👍
Excellent coverage, although the music could be eliminated or replaced with more information.
Could you perhaps use a gimbal for future videos? Content is superb but the shaky cam makes me dizzy!
can you do a video on how u charge all your battery's
