Cheers mate, just checked them out! I will give them a call

Thanks mate I will give it a go with the brush. I think I am going to try and get the finish with ammonia as suggested by someone else! Mainly because I can then put a clear coat epoxy over it. Worse case scenario I have a finish that will do it. Appreciate the help

@@Wattsjoinerybarn dont know if you know but you use the ammonia by pouring it into a jug / bowl and put it in a enclosed space with you job and leave it. the ammonia will fume the wood making it go darker. Ammonia stinks and its very hazardous, if you breath it in it will blow you head off so don't be tempted to sniff it when you take the lid off. When you've got the job in with the ammonia you need to keep checking it for colour, oak can go really dark so keep a eye on it and after you remove the job from the ammonia let it breath for a hour or so before you put any finish on as it can react with the finnish if you do it too quick 👍

@@martyn1678 yes mate. I wasn’t actually going to fume it, I was going to trial some different pieces by brushing it on in different strengths. I have done it before and it worked well, i have also done it with wire wool and vinegar solution. Luckily I have lots of time to mess with samples. Thanks for reminding me about leaving it before applying a Finish. I had been caught out with that before! As I say tho worse case I will just stain it with some tinted varnish solution I have.

@@Wattsjoinerybarn well i've never brush it on, we always use it through fuming , sounds like you have a plan i wish you good luck👍

I am gonna film it so we will find out! Will give you a shout out if brushing it on goes wrong 😂

Appreciate ya, thanks 🙏

Love it, thanks ❤

Thanks.🙏 I will have a play now!

Make sure it's a brass one though as the steel ones will react with the oak and leave black marks 👍 Love your channel by the way Lee

Thanks mate, very kind to say! Yes well said! I have had my fair share of nasty black stains on oak. Some of the pattern on this oak is quite dark and I wonder if that’s what they did then sanded it out.

Thanks man, hope business and life is 👍🏻

I can’t compare it to any other professional paint system but I never thought I would be able to get this level of finish with waterbased! Thanks for watching ❤

Cheers Graham, thanks for noticing❤ Got the Ferrari on order!

Still smashing g through the videos then 🫡 thanks for checking back in🙏

Don’t know where you are but I know renner sell through a company called symphony coatings. Really glad you enjoyed it and thanks for checking back in.

@@Wattsjoinerybarn South west Ireland...I can't seem to find an Irish supplier🥲

@MrCassbren shame, tbh I have heard that they are all much the same once you start getting into the specialist suppliers like morells etc. I have only ever used DIY like johnstones and farrow and ball etc. the difference is amazing

O I totally agree with you on that..for a top notch job you need to use a professional grade of material from the start to the finish...paint is something that I really focus on because let's face it, it's the only thing many people notice...details are lost on an awful lot of people 😅

💯 that’s why I hold all my customers to ransom and painfully explain every detail and struggle I had before I leave their house😂

Good detail spot! Yes mate, always think it’s criminal to not include an extra hinge, even if you are paying £4 per hinge. I have started doing them 65/75mm from top and bottom too which Makes a huge difference !

@@Wattsjoinerybarn enjoyable videos buddy.

Watts joinery, dropping nuggets everywhere!😂 thanks for taking the time to watch!

Thankyou mate. Did come out nice 👍🏻

Thanks Eddie. May start doing a bit more. Hope all is well.

Thanks man. It’s was a nice finish.

Your choice fella. Never been sent anything but thanks for wishing they don’t ! It’s no doubt a real valuable use of your energy👍🏻

Hi Dan. Can’t say I use it a lot but I do if it’s just for shapes with no scribe, also would have meant lots of drawing on boards and rubbing out as I used the same board for a house full of window boards, really good for parallelograms. In this instance I was more bothered by the side cheek scribes and the scribes on the back of the horns. It’s a great suggestion tho and I have an old systainer which I put scribing and measuring tools in which I take with me when quoting and installing. I will definitely cut a spare ticking stick and wack it in there. Thanks for watching

Ah didn’t realise it was specifically for a blind mortice! I was only shown fox wedging a few times and it was always for different tasks but the history of it was never explained. Interesting❤ thanks for watching

Hi Ade Oh yes I remember! It was your comments that made me think if I bring it out again I better put a dowel in it😂 Funny enough I nearly put a scribe joint in this window but un till it was made I was unsure of how the domino would sit against a scribed piece but an afterwards I realised I could have jus used a spacer as the XL domino goes pretty deep. I do agree with you on the theory of what yu are saying and well believe you have seen failed doors especially on a 9inch bottom rail! As i have sold my morticer I guess I would uses the domino as a morticer and then a domino profile maker or round over bit in the spindle moulder to make large floating tenons to combat this. not sure on your thoughts there as there would be no gap then between the dominos. Anyway at least we both can enjoy the swallows! thanks so much for watching again☺ all the best Matt

@@Wattsjoinerybarn Hi Matt, Good to hear from you. I think what you suggest regarding wider Domino's so you get rid of the gaps would be a good idea ,especially if you no longer have a morticer. I know Whitehill tooling do a spindle cutter for making domino's so it may be worth checking out. Hope you're busy Matt and life is good. Keep us updated on the swallows and how many chicks they raise. All the best Ade 🙃

@AdrianSams cheers Ade. I actually made some smaller sapele dominos for some exposed domino drawer boxes a few years back and the round over was quite easy with a standard bit and 4 passes but no groove lines obviously. Tempted by the cutters so will try and please you with something like that if I do another external job. Might try and do a bird cam for the kids so could get some of that. Thanks again for the comments, plenty on my end hope the same for you. Matt

@@Wattsjoinerybarn Hi matt, I put some cameras in some nesting boxes I made. Amazing to see them build the nest and a pair of Blue tits actually decorated around the nest with coloured sheeps wool and flower petals. I'd never believed it until I saw it. Great for kids to see too but the downside is we had one year where the mother didn't come home and the chicks died one night. Nature is amazing and cruel at the same time. Plenty of work on so I'm making hay whilst the sun shines. 😊

@@AdrianSamsjust rewatched my video and realised I cut the bit out where the swallows whipped past my head to get out! Don’t know how! Gutted.

Yes 12 years with me every. Will never forget him. Thanks

Hi mate. Tbh I have no set hours and have a busy schedule with my kids. It’s very rare for me to work weekends but I will do the odd late one(normally a Friday🤦🏻‍♂️) i used to work all hours but realised there is no point in doing it if you can’t have an early finish or day off mid week! Thanks for watching 😎

Yeah that domino thing works well. Frustrates me that the size scale on the 500 is not the actual measure but once you know you know. I nearly always mitre fold mdf so have systems in my head to make it quick. Sounds like you will get it spot on. Thanks so much for watching

I think most people in this line of work agonise over the details that 9 times out of 10 the customer won't notice in a million years. The problem is we do see them and think everyone else will. Plus there's always that 1 in 10! I think you just have to find a balance that your happy with and crack on. Otherwise every job would take an age and we'd be living in a cardboard box 😂. At the end of the day if the customer is happy then that's all that matters. It's still something I struggle with and I'm certain it costs me money on every single job I do but we all have things we just can't let slide.

100% mate. Hope your well Matt

@@_nacnud_..we all have the urge to strive for excellence and to continue to be better than we were yesterday. I don't stress too much about the customer but I stress over the standards I would like to achieve. That said,I think that you are dead right and 9/10 never notice the things that the maker sees 😅😅

@@MrCassbren 100% agree. Which is why it's always annoying as most of the time it's something that you could have avoided with a bit better planning/focus etc

Thanks Graham. I appreciate that❤

Thanks Eddie I am glad you and Pat like it. As I discussed with you when I was there. It was great to be given the opportunity to do something away from the norm! You were Both a pleasure to work for.

Ha ha. I am not gonna get the name wrong again! My sprayer is in the description in the tools section😂 I use renner water based 43:24 is where I list the paint codes. I also use that with the m407 crosslinker from renner. I actually stopped using the crosslinker but then I had a problem with the drying on this job which I put up on another video! I have basically worked out that I don’t need too much fresh air when drying as it gets rid of the heating element so I just recirculate the warm air and it dries in about 1 hour and I lay it on heavy! With the primer I do one tight coat then a heavy coat then sand. I have learnt not to de nib waterbased primers/fillers untill they have had all their coats. Topcoats it’s supposed to be a one coat system but I always do 2 and denib in between. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.

Ha ha, thanks mate! Wondered if you were still on board, you need to have a real strength of character for the long videos so well done😂 Cheers for watching

Yes mate and really quick disassembly. I am toying with seeing if a cheap knock off gun will work for priming or lacquer.

Thanks man. I am proud of how far I got without faking drama I will also continue but I just don’t know in what way yet! Weekly is good as I don’t get too lost in what I have filmed or said but it’s intense. I may try a few short ones. Thanks for watching

Thanks mate . Once you get used to getting volume out the sprayer I think it offers way more control and options than the airless! What primer and top coat model do you use and what needle size? I am using #5 with 643 and #4 with 762 I am loving the renner paints but not the crazy ordering system or numbers! I use 407 crosslinker (probably said it wrong In the video)in topcoats which I was informed does make it harder! I have a kitchen coming up which I will be using waterbased but using the 402 hardener system and a different top coat. It’s only on bad mdf I would consider a hardener or crosslinker in the primer! But I am in no means an expert in this! I am hoping once I get some reach on this channel I can spend a day with a CZcams sprayer to pick up some waterbased tips! That being said I am getting great results with renner! Thanks so much for watching😊

@herbertthecat thanks for saying. I spent a fair bit of time considering the metal profile sizes and oak thicknesses, think it turned out well! Thanks for checking back in

You’re spot on mate! Is what it is tho and i havnt really got the knack of doing anything short. Maybe I will get it one day! Thanks for watching.😊

Just do what your happy with Matt. I think most of us just enjoy your content regardless of length or regulatory of videos. Like this one I just watched in a few hits, makes no difference to me. Don't be too hard on yourself about subscribers either. CZcams is a strange beast and I think you have to play the game to a certain extent to get your numbers up. I think you've decided how you want to play that game and to be honest I like your approach. I always find things in your videos that resonate with me so just keep doing what your doing however you want to do it 😂

@_nacnud_ thanks mate, that really came at a good time for me to read. I think I started it half out of boredom and half curiosity. I need to remember it goes where it goes. Thanks for the kind words

Hi mate, thanks. I had the dewalt one 2blade and it’s brilliant. Also had the triton one which is good. You can make a sled/jig which you can use to flatten one side so you don’t need a planer.

Thanks mate. I am Going to stick with their primer anyway and force dry. As soon as it touches dry it stacks so there is no worries there! One thing to remember about skiing or snowboarding is every year you don’t go is another year you have to wait! My boys at 12 and 10 and can pretty much do it all now so worth the effort!

@@Wattsjoinerybarn My eldest is only 7 but maybe one day! Where you off to?

Zell am see Austria. Took my eldest boys to bansko,Bulgaria. When they were 8 and 10 so they could have lessons as it was cheap. Highly recommend bansko with the kids on an all inclusive or full board.

@@Wattsjoinerybarn always heard good things about Bulgaria. I was actually pretty shit hot riding when I was younger but then just fell out of it. Wife used to ski a lot when she was younger too so would be nice to get back in to it some day. Have a great time and switch off for a bit 👍🏻

Thanks mate. Glad your still watching

I go direct to renner and apparently their colour match is a lot better than symphony. Personally it’s always been good enough but I always put a disclaimer in. It’s kind of like you can have FnB paint and be spot on colour but renner is more durable and 99%there colour wise. I should really offer swatches from say FnB but the books harder to get now so I just get them to pick what colour they want and get their own samples! Plus sometimes people want little green, mylands etc. Thanks gonna make the most of the break!

Nice one., thankyou

Ah. Yes think he’s been in touch! Many thanks, hope all is well.

Thanks mate. Appreciate it ❤

❤ thanks for watching

Ha ha, no where exciting!

Yes mate multi tooled out before. These were on gypliner brackets and bouncing all over the place. I would have lost the bottom fixing if I multi tooled out but I do agree it’s a better finish . Thanks for watching

Nice one mate. Nearly messaged you the other day as I had a problem with my finish and renner were all over it with helping me fix it! (My issue) can’t recommend them enough!

Yes mate I have tried that with a hot glue gun. It works well and great for angles. These walls were lumpy bumpy! Skirting boards were hard work too. I can’t stand lazy plastering! Thanks for watching, hope alls well

Thanks mate. Hope your well

In my eyes yes! My kit actually fits in the of1400 router box too! If you buy it which I do recommend remember to always travel the router in the same direction. Key but info that! Thanks for watching 🙏

​@@Wattsjoinerybarnthat is an excellent tip. I would be driven mad by wobbly shelves. I haven't seen a video on the LR32 explaining this occurrence. Tolerance buildup is a thing that doesn't get talked about.

Well said

Very kind of to say! In a sorta semi pro move all my tools are listed in the description! If you mean the workshop extractor its Jet with an Axminster cyclone box and custom cupboard.

sorry matt , i meant your festool site extractor

Ah. It’s the midi, fits well in the side door with the kapex and table saw and benches. It fills up quick but in prefer the hose storage and size over the bigger ones. Really need to get the Bluetooth remote too! Thanks so much for watching
