We take ours when we go camping to start the fire. The fire rings at most state parks don’t allow much airflow.
I walk around the whole pit while I do it. Keeps everything clean and centered. Been doing this for a decade and it works awesome.
Use a dry lube and not wd-40 because that way saw dust will not stick to it.
@@speedgonzalez489 Will do! Thanks
@@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter welcome. I use to use wd too until some pointed out dry lube too me
Yeah WD40 is not a lubricant. Id kill that bad habit sooner rather than later.
@@corymartin1162 It is a lubricant.
@@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter yes it's a lubricant. It's a really good product in the right circumstances. Just not when you have a lot of debris flying in the area that will stick to it.
Dads. We know shit.
I don't want to hear it though! Lol just messin. Hope you're doing well sir.
nice!
Good idea, thanks for sharing.
@@awesomedave8484 No problem!
Works on any angle. 90 and 45 being the easiest.
Solid problem solving. I am in the process of turning my pack out into a mobile woodworking station and the pack out is awesome for custom fabrications
@@curiousennui8717 Thank you sir. I've cut into a few boxes to maximize. They're awesome.
Ohh I’ve been waiting for this
I have a 4” PVC conduit carrier where I just keep misc trim. (Cove, shoe, very small and long off cuts. Ect) Comes in handy having it on top of the truck. If I had to do it again I’d get 6” or 8”
@@chriscolameco6850 I hope it lived up to expectations lol. Don't go with 8". I made the mistake of buying 8" end caps and the pipe is crazy money. Like 3 or 4x 6". It's an obscure item too whereas 6" is off the shelf. I definitely have plans to put some dividers up there but I haven't made any concrete decisions on it yet. 6" pipe is probably the move because that's just about exactly the space I have up there and if I line a few up in a row then I can actually put some stops inside at 3/4/5' in different pipes for different length stock. Thanks for watching sir!
Love it, Gary Katz has a similar shop built setup that he did a write-up on, planning to build one when I get some down time around christmas when things slow down. his write up has some good ideas for things like the stop block
@@andy6131 I've considered some more permanent outfeeds but the versatility of 2xs has been awesome. I think some double layer 3/4" ply with T tracks and back stops would really take it up a major notch. I just haven't made the leap yet. Maybe soon. I'm really dancing around the compact DeWalt stand with the outriggers. I think once I bite on it I'll build some feature rich outfeeds.
@@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter The plans he posted looked lightweight, I think it was 1/2" ply w/ 1x1 stock to stiffen the edges up. I'll dig up the link when I get home, might get you some ideas if you decide to go through w/ it
@@andy6131 Sounds good!
@8:37 I felt that 🤣and we don't even have crazy pitches around here love the trailer, been waiting for this vid for a while I been stealing your demo bag idea but I use the small-ish dewalt rolling toolbox (about 30" long and 1'x1', works great since it's so heavy)
@@andy6131 Hey Andy! The delay was on me. I really wanted to make sure it was completely refined but I've made next to no changes since the original build so I could've released this a year ago. It's worked out awesome though. The demo bag is definitely a tank but carry once cry once. Everything 10 guys could need to wreck a place lol
That's cool, the ridge beam being levelled perfectly. Thumbs up
What voltage is that makita?
@@self_made_jaiven9265 11amps 110v.
Great layout! I saw that you run a couple of Metabo nailers. I just got the 18ga brad nailer. Not like l plan on using bump fire often lol, but it’s pretty awful in that mode… Just curious if that’s typically for this gun. Also if its possible to file the striker down a bit - leaves slightly larger holes than I’d hoped for. Thanks
@@landonlakes4782 Thank you. I'm not sure which brad nailer you have. They offer two different ones. Metabo recently started offering one for $150 that I have no experience with. I haven't had any issues with the one that I have. I don't see any reason you couldn't file the firing pin down a bit. I don't have any experience with that so I don't want to give bad info though.
@@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter I have the gen2 nailer. Got it as a kit from Amazon for 200 (great price). Maybe I’ll return it if this particular gun has an issue with bump fire
@@landonlakes4782 I have the Gen2 as well. I don't think I've ever even put it in bump fire.
@@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter yeah it’s not something I’d do often, but since it’s supposed to work… just curious if something is off with this particular gun. Thanks
@@landonlakes4782 I'll go check mine and let you know if it's alright.
mark?
Great video I had a huge “ohhhh yeahhh” moment when I saw the 2x10 box go in. Like that’s how you get deep window sills in these 2x4 walls without a bay window. Love the videos, and appreciate the knowledge.
@@andrewhouse6300 Thank you! I agree that sometimes things can be so obvious once we see that it's just a forehead smacker. That's why I share. I've had a lot of "duh" moments lol
Make sure to add a GPS tracker; hell, even a small 24 hr camera inside too. Sick trailer and well thought out!
@@alin224 There's some anti-theft devices for sure.
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing. Very interesting and impressive how practical, prepared, and efficient you are.
@@TedBruckner Thanks Ted!
@@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter You're welcome. Have you ever been near an in-use Makita Quiet Series 1 HP, 2 Gallon, Oil-Free, Electric Air Compressor? I hadn't, but i bought one a year ago and have been using it regularly doing handyman/remodel and finish carpenter work with it; and compared to the 6-gallon "pancake" air compressors it's so quiet, (and the sounds it makes,) it's comparable to hearing a loud fish aquarium pump, almost. And it does drive 4 framing nails before re-pumping up (just as i saw in side-by-side comparison video by a carpenter on YT comparing it to the model just a little bigger.) I find it works perfect with the pressure turned all the way up for all nailing: 3" framing nails, brad/staple nails, 15g 2.5" nails, and 11/4 - 2" 18g and 23g pin nails.
@@TedBruckner I haven't. I considered it back when I was looking at some compact compressors but I don't really use a compressor very often these days. Just for the occasional flooring and siding jobs.
thank you. Have a great weekend!
Thanks Ted! You too sir.
A fucking CZcams short where the guy teaches you some shit? 😮 It’s the holy grail.
😂😂
Now that is fucking funny
Hhahhahahaha
LOL that green ratchet straps doing absolutely nothing
@@danonroof 1000% wrong.
@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter in the words of the shawarma guy "If it's not tight, it's not right."
@@lastproductionstudio It's tight enough to hold over 100 lbs of cross braces off of the ground. I've been loading this staging the same exact way for years. It's very secure.
@@lastproductionstudio Genuinely curious, what part doesn't look tight to you?
@@DefianceOrDeath if the braces bounce the green strap is slack. The fact that the green strap bends down off the planks toward the bed of the truck and then back up after the braces is slack.
Scaffold
@@yhwach2397 Always call it pipe staging in my area. Semantics
True friend
In the last eighty’s I bought a set of Occidental Leather pro Framer’s, they are still in good shape today. When I started doing finish carpentry I bought the Oxys lites they are still in good shape. I’m 65 and semi retired, now. I wish I would have used suspenders when I was younger I think my back would be in better shape now.
You should invent one
Nice job. I have a dryer vent on the roof and had to put a cage around it, because two separate times birds came in and made a huge nest in the vent. Now, just need to clean the cage from lint periodically, but way better than birds nest and bird poop! I don’t like going on the roof as much, so I made a detachable flange in the attic to disconnect the pipe, clean the vent, and put it back.
A transgender truck. I bet it's got a girl's name. LoL
so just spray paining it white is not a option?
You need a carpenters pencil.
Folding kobolt is the perfect one and i have a 200 pack of blades in my toolbox so im good
All good till it rains
@@MyOathCobLoaf Still good. Packouts and horses/stands are fine with rain. Miter/table saw just get put into a contractor bag before travel if there's a chance of rain.
Fantastic video amd well dictated. I am a Cabinetmaker out of VA always looking to learn more. I use both a Hitachi C8FB and the C10FSH. They are my all time favorites. Keep up the great work my man, awesome content.
@@jimalbert7785 Thank you sir! I have the C8FB2 in this video but it didn't get any real screen time. 4 years older than me lol. Prized possession.
Thanks for the info!
Where are you working out of ?
Damn, you Yankees got a neat way of packing your shit lol
@@butcherboyy4473 Works awesome. Everything has a home in my trailer. This is just for A to B.
I know, get a van or a bigger truck. They're expensive and this is a good setup for city work.
the pencil fell dude

The FLEX table and miter saw is here. What's your take?
@@rickyperkins232 What's up Ricky! They look awesome. I don't usually need a 12" miter saw so I wouldn't mind seeing a smaller option from them. I do like the cordless 10" table saw option though, sometimes I need the higher blade height than the 2 1/2" that most 8 1/4" cordless offer. The AC/DC adapter is a big influence too. That saves me some initial coin on batteries if I want to get into the platform. I'll probably need to replace my miter and table saw in the next 1-2 years and Flex is definitely on the table. I really appreciate that they never delayed their high capacity stacked lithium. The fact that DeWalt hasn't released a stacked Flexvolt battery is an absolute joke.
just paint it white dude
Milwaukee fastback utility knife with screw driver I use it everyday
Only ones I’ll buy!
Earphone users watchout for the sudden loud NGGGGGGGHHHHH
Call a company in asia and have em make you a prototype for a bid on a large order then dont make the order
I’m a fan of the Olfa style snap knives which you can extends If I’m doing roofing , floating floors, or something heavy enough for that style knife I always use the fixed blade ones that don’t retract at all
Stanley far max has a cool “dual blade” one that has a hook blade on one side and a standard on the other. Or just two of same for less blade changes. Similar design to the Lenox
@@chriscolameco6850 I have some 25mm olfa style knives but I mostly just use them for insulation. I ran fixed blades in the past for full house cedar shingle jobs but I have a 10 stitch scar in my arm to remind me why retracting the blade isn't the worst idea lol. I've owned a Bostitch double knife before but I don't know what happened to it. Wasn't much of a staple for me. I just carry one of each straight and hook blade if I need it but if I'm using a hook blade I'm on a roof and I try to sub all that out ha
Why not have one of those fancy devices that lets you dictate to it, and it stores the information on a screen for you. I know smartphones have this option, but they tend to be bad with writing down measurements.
Perfect timing brother. Subbed 🤜🤛
@@MacTheKnife Happy to hear that! Thank you.
