@@dangraves25 I was looking to say the same thing. Hats off to Sweenor and all the effort everyone is putting into the channel and the builds. Im certain theyll see high subscription numbers before before too long. I could be wrong but I believe the modern farm house was featured in an episode of Matt Reissingers Build Show
Great episode. I can’t help but be a little jealous of these younger guys doing this kind of work. I guess I’ll just have to continue getting that satisfaction on weekends in my own house.
Thank you for the feedback Jay! We are only 4 weeks into this now and we have been pleased with the organic growth so far. Hopefully it continues to grow!
Another engaging episode of Sawdust. I almost wish I would have found this channel a little later. I have watched all four episodes out to date and I am longing for more. I can't say enough positive comments about this channel. I look forward to all of the future episodes.
I’m going to be installing nickel gap in my family room and was trying to figure out how to do the inside corners without creating a shit-show. Brilliant idea using the rabbet.
Love this! Great work, the explanation of the difference between nickel gap and ship Lap really helpful. We are doing this in our home and now very excited to know how great it will look
I prefer cutting the last piece into the corner with a 3° back bevel, plus using a 23 gauge nailer to stitch outside corners eliminates a lot of nail holes for painters...
2:36 naturally resistant to moisture and rot Our log cabin home was built 1973-74. 46 years of cedar shakes (not shingles) on our roof and they have naturally failed to checking and wind damage. We should have use 18-ga. corrugated aluminum roofing that was used on the original woodshed, chicken coop, and garage when my parents moved here in 1958.
I wish more Americans would slow down and do good work like this. Americans overall are over the top in a hurry all the time for no reason. If people would slow down and apply what these guys do this country would be a better place to be apart of. I have done hard core construction my whole life and it's been a struggle to convince builders to slow down. Most of the commercial builders that build theses stadiums and larger buildings blow through it and they start falling apart in a short amount of time. I know money and greed is the genesis of these issues. Also, egomaniacal supervisors/leaders who don't want to listen to some of the most talented people usually in a subordinate position. Anyone watching this who is a greenhorn take notes, slowdown get it down then you can wear the crown. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Keep up the good work!
Almost looks like the cases I seen at Kohl's back in the Christmas section they have knives and other tools in little plastic cases identical to that..
I'm curious - if your walls aren't true such that the corners aren't straight (remodel), and your end cut and rabbit both need to be at an angle, will this jig work?
Fix your walls before installing. You can knock out some drywall on inside corners and you can just go slightly over on outside corners to keep them straight.
OMG! I just got my house back and have to replace my cedar shingle roof only after 31 years!!! They are falling off, rotted and holding water. It looks like they did not put them on the way you guys did. On Tuesday they are delivering tin 😢 instead. Too expensive to replace with cedar $100,00 vs $40,00 so sad it going to change the look of the house completely 🤬
I figured it out, cant hide the nail holes on the "blind" shot because the nickle, gap, revals your shots in the gap, cant caulk or putty in there, I can see face nail at heights you can see in the gap, but blind nails where its out of view to save the painters some work
He's wrong when he says clear white cedar shingles aren't clear. Clear 'A' shingles are actually clear. What he's using are B grade or 'sidewall' white cedar shingles. 1 1/2" overlap is enough as the smallest shingle in a bundle is 3 1/2 ". He's also wrong that the red cedar shingles have a thicker butt because they are used for roofing. All 18" red cedar shingles have a thicker butt and can be used on walls and roofs, same with yellow Alaskan cedar shingles.
I know these are a couple of years old, but they are great, and the toolbelt feature is super!
Great episode. Love the pride and dedication these carpenters put into their work. Most people never realize what goes into quality work.
True, but most people also prefer to go with the cheaper guy to get more higher end products into their homes.
It's a shame, lots of hacks out here
How does this channel only have 3.5k followers? It's honestly one of the best channels on CZcams. Great production value too
Thanks for following and the kind words, we appreciate your feedback! We are just getting started so hopefully we will gain momentum!
@@Sweenorbuilders Keep putting out great content like this and you'll blow up big. Keep in truckin

Nice to see how it's done over the pond. You certainly get better weather to be outside smashing out roofs 👍🏻🔨🏴
Thanks 👍

Love that nickel gap inside / outside corner trick with the rabbit mitre combo. Trim carpenters are true artists
Thanks for watching!
Can believe these vids dont get more views.. no bullshit.. no messing... just craftsmen doing their thing love it man keep em coming 👌👌
Thank you for the feedback Jay! We are only 4 weeks into this now and we have been pleased with the organic growth so far. Hopefully it continues to grow!
Great explanation on how to get a tight inside corner for shiplap. Exactly what I needed!
So glad you enjoyed!
So Well done! The craftsmanship of Sweenor Builders in this video format is clearly visible. This sets Sweenor Builders clearly above the rest.

Great presentation well executed showing true craftsmanship, keep up the good work guys, love ever aspect of the show especially the tool belts!
Much appreciated!
Love this! Great work, the explanation of the difference between nickel gap and ship
Lap really helpful. We are doing this in our home and now very excited to know how great it will look
Great call on using a rabbet for your inside corners! I get tired of mitering mine so I'm gonna give that jig a try. Good work!
I like this guy.
Beautiful!
Spectacular! Can't wait for EP05! Thank you team Sweenor!
Great project, once in a lifetime
Thank you!!!
I prefer cutting the last piece into the corner with a 3° back bevel, plus using a 23 gauge nailer to stitch outside corners eliminates a lot of nail holes for painters...
I didn’t know Nick lachay does T&G on houses! Thanks for the tips Nick!
Just amazing! Please keep these videos coming!!
We will!
Episodes are great too! Thanks for the content!
Glad you like them!
Brilliant content, thank you from England.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thx good video 👍
The production quality is great, content is great. You'll have a lot more subs in no time if you keep it up
I appreciate that!

That is exactly the life expectancy of shakes on roof applications. True ,metal would still be good as it is generally good for at least 100 years.
Much better sound when you turn down the music when they're speaking.

Thank you for such a thoughtful comment!!
excellent !!!
Many thanks!!
How did you finish where the shiplap ends at door rough opening
Alright Mr. Doug “Extra Reach” Barlow, what is the case you use for your bits? I love that idea and the case looks rock solid.
Almost looks like the cases I seen at Kohl's back in the Christmas section they have knives and other tools in little plastic cases identical to that..
Quality work. The rabbet is a nice touch but I think in the case of shrinkage there'd be a shadow gap regardless.
Great point!
How do you figure out the depth to set the rabbit?
I'm curious - if your walls aren't true such that the corners aren't straight (remodel), and your end cut and rabbit both need to be at an angle, will this jig work?
Fix your walls before installing. You can knock out some drywall on inside corners and you can just go slightly over on outside corners to keep them straight.
Any problem with nailing nickel gap on an accent wall over an existing painted wall...?
Nope. Do yourself a favor and nail through the tongue, not the face of the board. It will look a million times better and save you a ton of work.
Do my house in bonnet!!!!!
Great video. Can I ask what you use to fill the nail holes?
The painters filled them - most likely Elmers wood fill.
What company do you get your Nickel Gap through?
Arnold Lumber Co

Try blind nailing the nickel gap save your self a lot of finish work
I feel there is a reason he was face nailing but... I see your point lol

@@joshuajones1843 I will take a painted blind nail over a nail pop in the future
Give back to the community? Are they working for free?
And you face nailed everything like a noob.
