Is that MDF you used for the shelf? Great vid, thanks

What material are the boards and what dimensions?

Why not just screw the boards directly to the joists?

Did you leave the 4 joist long 1st 3x2 over hanging between joists or do you butt them up on half a joist each and screw down?

Nicely done. Makita have a shoe that carries a jigsaw on theirs and Festools track, no more cleaning out the corners.

This is stunning! Thanks a lot!

Work of art🎉

This is very expensive and unnecessary in wood. You can make your own very stable and low cost loft legs. Cut an 8” length of 3x2 and screw a 6” length to it and a 4” length to that, gives a pyramid of 9” tall, from just 18” of wood. Make enough of these to be spaced along the top of the joists every 20”. Then sit full length 3x2 rails along the tops. This will straddle 12” of insulation above the joists and provides plenty of ventilation at half the cost. Edit: I will add in fairness, the method in the video is very quick if you don’t mind spending the small fortune in 3x2, but he should still have allowed some gaps for airflow across the joist runs.

Have you ever tried the dewalt 4 port charger on it? Looking to fit an inverter to the work van but unsure of which size could run the 4port charger

Can you tell me if you cut the top point off the door for clearance purposes or if it was already like that? I have a door same situation and I still have the point on the door but as it stands I will be unable to close the door unless I back bevel to top of the door, the other option is to do something similar to what you have done here.

Great - just fitted a load of architrave and skirting (DIYer) and the labels are a pain to remove!!! Come on Selco. Thanks for posting. Regards Mike

Nice work 👍

Wonderful work. Could share the links of item you used to build. It will help us to buy a correct items. Thank you in advance

Why buy a cheaper battery if the one you have is so good 🤔

If you were asked to do this in a loft with 400mm of insulation, what would you do?

Its not a generic job tho??? My loft doesnt look like this. One guy says my joists need reenforcing Another says they’re fine but only with a “raised” system I look to do it myself and havnt got a fcking CLUE where to start!! All these loft companies are just robbing C**NTS!! I JUST WANT TO PUT SOME JUNK IN MY FCKING ATTIC FFS !!!!

Ive just been quoted £1600 just to put boards down in my loft WTF !!???? 220 square feet! Is this normal!???? Trying to get other companies out for more quotes but getting them out is a NIGHTMARE in itself!!! 1600 quid just to put some junk in the loft FFS !!!!?? Whats going ON !???

First time I’ve seen this done. Very impressed. Will be trying it out myself. 👍🏻

Hi, I’m sending the stilts back and doing this. What did you mean by having a gap at intervals? And also I have green floor boards 18mm, would OSB loft boards be batter?

What a fantastic bit of work. How would you approach a door for a cupboard under the stairs as the top rail wouldn’t be long enough? Use an offcut from the excess side rail and accept that the head rail would be smaller? (Guess what I need to do😂😂😂)

Hey the 3x2s did you stack them on top of each other and what screws size did you use

There’s no way I can do that with 3mm thick plywood

600mm spacing… metric. 3x2… imperial? They don’t look like 3”x 2”. Could that be metric too? 30mm x 20mm? If imperial, 3 high is 9” If metric, 90mm high… less than 4”. And lighter. Which is it?

Hi, what did you use to secure three layers together?

I'd like to do this except ductwork is along the floor.

Excellent work my boss would want this knocked up in an hr because he doesn’t have a clue what goes into making something properly

They're the bane of my life.

Who would normally fit this a carpenter or a locksmith?

Cool video but tate bs 🤮

How much did the job cost in total? Cheers

Do my ears deceive me or was that a cheeky parp from the nether regions at the end there?

I'm curious, how did you come up with 460W for the Makita double charger? The charging current is 8amps. W = A × V

Why buy new cheap blades when you can destroy the cheap blades you already own.

Why 2 lengths of CLS at the front edge? Great looking project, thanks for vlogging .

Awesome bro...where did you got this kind of ladder from?

Hi mate. Great vid, is this set up still working well for you? I’ve just got my inverter to charge my e bike. Putting min on my transit same as yours this weekend. I’m just going to put a fuse in the positive cable for added protection.

Where abouts are you based? Would it be possible for you to do this on a pre finished door?

Can I get rid of any wooden beams to create more space

what door knob set is that?

I love the look of this & really didn’t want to lose space by adding the legs

Loved that video mate. Very informative. I spend my life working in lofts as a TV aerial installer and often get asked to do this. What size boards are those and are they chipboard? PS I have subscribed too 👍

Thanks for the video making it look so easy! Know it’s old video so maybe won’t reply just started to build mine but facing issues. I was going nice and smooth till got 4th side in and can’t get it to slot in either side? If I get it one slot in on the same side the other end is 2-5mm out? My foundation is level and checked cabin is square I thought if was to have issues would be at the start not 4 layers in. Any help would be appreciated

What size biscuits do you use on them?

Nice!

Nice, quick question, what are you using to make the groove for the biscuits in the bottom stile ?

update ? how you getting on

Hi. What size were the batons you used and what size screw do you us to fit them. Also the size of the boards please

@bnmcarpentry Loving this video. I’ve been told it’s not possible to put a cat flap in the Howden’s Daytona oak glazed door; and that “cat flap can not be put in this glass or any other glass door once it has been toughened. You would have to get a door made and glass made and hole cut in it a processing stage.” Does this sound right? Would appreciate your advices, thanks.

Great work, I was wondering how you would cover the seen edge at the top as a hardwood strip would look out of place until I seen the veneer going on. Looks beautiful mate.
