Had an old timer tell me once, never let your scrap/trash hit the ground. I have always done this and it defintly saves time when you incorporate the thought behind it. I bought a dump trailer and then only touch trash once. If you throw it on the ground and have a trailer you have to hand unload that's alot of work and bending over. Same applies to material handling when possible/applicable.
That's why I pay my kids to do that stuff. Your not gonna have a trailer next to you everytime you cut.
Enjoy your videos! Appreciate your taking time to present. Awesome!
that slo mo ... soooo satisfying
I just found you Chanel
. And I really like it. Hi from Ca. Concrete form carpenter. 👍🏼👍🏼 keep up brothers.
Nice job there, just did it yesterday with a 6 x 6 notching 3" on the front and 1 1/2" on the side for a corner post. Wish I would have seen this because I cut out the 1/2 " or so in the center with a hand saw.
Another awesome video . Great tip
Great video I’m a fifth generation carpenter in my 30’s my papaw taught me how to do that thanks for sharing
I’m with you brother... my dad thought me everything I know from age 12!
Glad that I stumbled upon this channel, only been framing for a couple years, but it's good to have great resources!
i guess I'm kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good place to stream new series online?
@Axel Amir I watch on Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Emmitt Zahir Yea, I have been watching on flixzone for months myself :D
@Emmitt Zahir thanks, signed up and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it !!
@Axel Amir Glad I could help :D
I just love the armchair experts trying to correct and educate you.......the builds I’ve seen you do have all been top notch (sawzall, chisel or whatever). Keep up the great videos
Thanks brother
People correct these guys because the dumbfuckery is so in your face. I mean come on. Are you going to really use the world's shortest saw-zall blade ever conceived to take the corner out of a notch that size? Are you going to call a wooden beam a girder? Sure if you want to get laughed at and corrected. The people that correct these guys are people who would make the video perfect or wouldn't make it at all. And my god the PPE on this guy to use the leafblower. Wow. Not a job I'd want to be on.
Jee Wizz Thomas Lyon, I use a cordless dremel to notch a 6×8 girder.
@@strykerlandwill So you are out on a job on a Saturday, showing how to do something....are you going to waste time going to the shop to grab a blade or just get it done? Also not too smart being low on PPE for a video that can be watched by anyone....
@@phillipbridge5009 really bro. what did you think you were going to be doing when you went to work that day? You know the tasks that are gonna take place . have the shit you need to do the job. end of chat. Everyone says oh you tube comment ers are armchair experts. no we arent. but NEITHER ARE THESE CLOWNS.
I just did this with my 12” slide miter saw. Tedious but effective. Just a beast to move around, mine was at home so no big deal, thanks for the new tips though
Love your videos!
Honestly good tips for those who do not own all the tools necessary. Good shit man
For the really big posts and girders, I bring along my pet beaver who likes greens.
Nice job 👍
Hey there's a technique I learnt years ago & that is to put a scrap piece of timber Infront of the end notch & when you strike it with the hammer head not the claw it takes out all the notches in one go clean.
Very minimal cleanup required with the chisel afterwards, it worked for me but try it out for yourself & see if the results are any different to your method 👍
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Man that DeWalt battery held up good doing all them cuts on that treated wood
Good video editing was great
This is the only way to support a beam on a deck. Good work.
Lol, thinking about how I was going to build for my gasebu and watched this video and thought "it's like this person is reading my mind" I really need tomorrow to be good!!! Awesome video
Or you could use a long blade an make 2 cuts after using the circular saw an be done faster than messing with a chisel... your method works well also. For DIY people
Another good video boys. Surely you've heard of Essential Craftman? His channel is right up your alley. He's shown a few of the same tips and tricks as you guys have, in this case notching posts by cutting a bunch of slices, and same with the tape measure video. Most of all though he's just such an inspiration. He's the human manifestation of Integrity if ever there was one.
Cool.. I’ve had quite a few people mentioned him… I’ll check him out thanks
Thank you.
Normally I do the second method lol. But I agree with you after that your arm hurts but it works good
I’ve got a socket slick. For me the chisel part is easy.
This channel is legit.
My favorite tool to cut knotches in posts is the chain saw two cuts and I'm done.
Like a boss
People can get really good with a chainsaw, plus I'd use it to clear more of the forest away from this house to help prevent the house burning down in a forest fire.
@@rom14141 man with vision 👍
beautiful chanel congratuations frends.,.,gretings from argentina.,,new suscriber.,.,paz
perros y mas PERROS thanks brother.. greetings from Western North Carolina
I use a 8 1/4’’ circular saw for my post. One tool 3 cuts and done.
Great tip! Thanks. if you have a larger saw available (8 1/4” or larger) you can cut all the way through the 6x6 in two opposing cuts.
We have a huge Makita beam saw that can cut all the way through a 6X6 in one pass, but it is hard to handle (weighs about 35 pounds) and most of the time I prefer to use the smaller hand tools we already have out.
I love this channel but imagine everyone’s working their butt of and he says well I gotta go make a video for the rest of the day lmao
Doesn't seem to be anyone round...probably a Saturday when no one else coming in or early morning or end of day. The whole team seems a real team and super supportive of everything. This is great for us guys (I am a tiler / waterproofer in New Zealand), but also great for thier business.....showing clients they know how to get it done - several different ways.
My boss shows up at 8, gets all the tools out, starts half of everything then half the time suddenly remembers he has to leave at 4 🤨 strangely before we start cleaning anything up lol
lol
CZcams posting this again in my feed. Over 2 years ago. ya got 332K subs and this has 248,410 views. Tuesday September 28, 2021. Very good!
Great video. It was top notch😂😂😂
I knew how to do what you showed, but how do I notch a 6 x 6 "corner"post?
Nice to watch, but it’d be nice to have had you explain about the cuts
I have some 6 x 6 posts already installed for my deck. I am thing if cutting dados for the horizontal fencing i want to use(1 inch thick)....is it too risky..and should i use a circular saw...or a router...I am thinking a hand held router will be me more control. I don't have room for mistakes as the posts are already installed.
sawzall with a long blade ..................
Long blades are also less precise... but for this it probably wouldn’t make a huge difference.
Polish plane the second one the name
Do y’all notch posts the same way if you’re extending them all the way up to support a deck roof? I’ve looked through 507 of the IRC which covers deck construction but not sure how to integrate a roof using the same posts.
2 things, well 3. 1: thanks for the video. 2: is that a stiletto hammer? I thought y’all switched over to the BOSS hammers. Would like an update on the hammers from the video that you did before. 3: did you really just throw those timber screws in the trash pile? I hope you did that for dramatic effect and went and got them out after the shot. LOL! Thanks again. I really would like to hear what you have to say about the BOSS ha,Myers if you actually used them for a time.
💪
Ok. But how do u do a side socket in the middle of the post or beam? A socket thatvis not a whole way through? For ex a socket in main beam for puting a joist beam into a main beam?
Which is best notch the beam or set 2x10’s on top of post? Deck is going to be 5 ft high.
I have posts that I am notching and going to put in beams. My beam lumber is not all the same width. Some as much as a 3/8” variation. Should I cut the girders to make them the same width?
What if I only need to take out ¼ (or a corner) of the post? Would scoring it halfway work?
What's the best way to notch if posts are already set, like for a pole barn, and you have to get up on a ladder to notch the posts?
This is what I would like to know as well. Notching a post already set vertically.
Your hammer is a ringer, that would drive me nuts if I used it every day
did that dewalt saw do all that with just the one battery ? i've shyed away from cordless because i'm afraid i'll be doin something and in the middle of the cut ,, the battery gives up,, i have the corded version of that saw you used,, & dewalt saws seem unkillable,, so i think i'm gonna try me a cordless
Jake you get a lot of cuts out of a battery, tools are very efficient nowadays. I run a DeWalt 54 volt flexvolt circular saw and twelve inch mitre saw and get all of the cuts that I need without having to change the batteries all the time. Cord free jobsites are all the rage these days and are very efficient and easy to obtain. 👍😃
@@garethheathcote4988 i do auto body as my job , so my job site is my house, or m inlaws', so that's not so much my worry, but i'll tell ya, the cordless drill and impact driver have changed the way i work at my shop, besides my big grinder and my buffer and the heat gun , everything is air ,, but even at my house , not having even the drill driver extention cords has made it safer and less a pain in the but, what i have made though , is an adapter for an ac hook up for my cordless stuff,, the big boys should try something like that , as a just in case, or a way to connect it to your truck, ya know what i'm sayin
Yep I get all that........but not everyone has those kinda machines
Hi, whats the brand of this timber screws?? In Brazil i find only Borgh, Spax get out of our country.
Hey there... they are TimberLok screws by FastenMaster
@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers I could be wrong but those appeared to be Headloks by Fastenmaster. They have a flat head with a spider drive. The Timberloks have a 5/16 hex drive and a smaller head. Fastenmaster makes some incredible fasteners for general construction and specifically deck building. I am a professional deck builder with 29 years experience. We have come a long way from setting 4x4 post in concrete and lag screwing headers to houses. Thank God for technology!
I hate how rounded over the edges of your posts are. Makes them easier to carry and less rough to bump into I’m sure but my goodness it would kill me to do some decks with a frckn post like that.
Hey would you joist tape the cut out notch and bottom of the post?
I spray my notches and bottoms with bed liner or undercoating. Can get it in a rattle can at any hardware or automotive store and it’s faster than taping.
Are you guys able to bring a guy in? I'd love to work for/ with you guys. People in my town are drug ridden and dont teach younger generation properly for fear of losing their job
Slow Moe? I thought Curly was the slow one.
Both, is one way to do it ! With that said you have to be the fastest man alive with a hammer and chisel !
Did you cut this with a standard 7 1/4 blade? I am a gc and don’t do much work anymore hands on but I am building my deck and my blade depth won’t go down? What am I missing. Feel like I am like all the guys with nasty comments on here… “man with truck” who thought they know everything.
"9 and 5 16th"
What a fucking system. I have no idea what the convertion is, but from the looks of it, it's what the rest of the world would just call 30cm ;p
Looks like highlands
I got to see you use hammer of the gods.
Why didnt you just finish the rip cut with the sawzall instead of farting around with the chisel?
Im looking for a job u guys hiring ?
Chisel mo' pizzle.
Why don’t you bring your house wrap to the inside of the windows and openings ? Just curious everyone has there own way
Good question.. we wrap the openings with zip tape to seal it up better. Laps over the house wrap and keeps the edges of plywood from getting wet and swelling
Have you not heard of a hand saw
Never trust a guy who wears earmuffs to run a saw😂😂
blade right weirdos LOL
( It's a dirty post ) Don't post anything dirty than.......
A lot of cut offs and debris unsafely lying around...Safety first...
He came back with the sawzall, he didn't even look for the handsaw? Or he's got no muscles?
here's a tip 4 u - never notch a post.
What noob you never put a sawzall blade that way , you flip it the other way so you can cut straighter and deeper
Woodprix is full of amazing tips. It helped me a lot.
