- This part 1 one of my cedar deck build series. I am building a ground level cedar deck. Here I cover the basics of framing, layout, laying deck boards, and how to picture frame your perimeter so the miters never open up! Thanks for watching!
This craftsman does cabinet level work and detailing on a deck, Great to see the new generation giving attention to fine fine detailing. AND does professional level camera and editing. Glad to know that we (older types)are leaving the profession in very capable hands
Thanks, I was fortunate enough to work for those men you speak of and I know I greatly appreciate their teachings! Still have alot to learn, honestly that's why I love youtube. Have you ever seen spencer lewis of insider carpentry, or Essential Craftsman?
Really? Seems to me the gap between the boards isnt large enough.. at least where i'm from.
@@Cyclicalcation good catch, used the tongue of a square, wasnt enough. leaves and debris will settle in the gap vs falling through. What do you use to space deck boards.
@@AMAYERICAN standard #8 deck screws. We get a lot of snow but this allows the boards to contract with moisture
@@AMAYERICANdidn’t the board shrink a bit? I used my square and the gaps got a tad bit wider over time. Worked fine for me… Looks great!
You do nice professional work. Awesome video especially cutting out the loud noises. Thank you
Thanks Mark! I appreciate that, thanks for watching!
Hey thanks for the vid. I plan on picking my cedar this Friday. And work on my 8x11 deck. Got the frame set up just been saving my money up for the expense.
You bet thanks for watching! Don’t forget to subscribe have some cool deck videos coming out soon !
Hey man. I love the quality of your work and attention to detail. Keep it up brother! Watched this video to learn about the picture frame style.
Thanks brotherman! I appreciate it, I have learned a lot from some really great carpenters on youtube, figured I could try and contribute. As far as picture framing I think biscuits are key. Even if you do a composite deck you can find composite biscuits. That deck is now 2 years old and the miters are still tight as day one.
Dunno if anyone cares but if you're bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all the latest series on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my gf lately =)
@Enrique Zechariah Yea, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself =)
@Enrique Zechariah definitely, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :D
Good looking deck and good video. Love the look of cedar. the boards look a little tight. Curious ... is there enough room to allow water to drain between the boards?
Good eye! Gapped um too tight learned that lesson the hard way haha. Water drains but debris builds up and needs cleaned out.
I noticed you used 1x6 material for the decking surface. Did you find that thickness to be sufficient in terms of strength? I had a lumber yard tell me I should go with 2x6 instead. Thoughts? Thanks
I used 5/4 deck boards so actual thickness is 1 1/4'. What is your joist spacing?
Hey, thanks for the video. How much overhang did you leave for the picture frame? I'm building my deck and was thinking 1"? Too much? not enough?
You bet! And yep 1 inch, also 1 inch OH on stairs. That way it’s all the same, looks nice and won’t trip anyone up.
Thanks for responding to my comment. Question: what size screw did you use to anchor your decking and I see you didn't use a camo jig.
You bet ! And I used 2 1/2 # 9 stainless deck screws. They sell them at Menards they have a t-25 brand starts with an h if I remember correctly.
Once upon a time I also had a body like this .that's some dry ass p.t. poor drill. Nice work ur pretty deece
Hey I just did my cedar deck. What’s the best clear stain to use I don’t want any fake red color just want the natural color ?
Man that’s a good question I wish I knew. I have heard that you don’t want Tompsons water sealer though. I remember sikkens being the best five years ago but the formula changed due to epa. I would stop into your local paint shops and ask what the pros are using in ur area. Let me know what you get figured out brother !
Wow, when people talk about hot contractors, Drew is who they're talking about. #hotcontractors #hotcarpenters. Aside from being a great video you are great eye candy. Huge fan.
How come you’re not running the artisan bag??
That was last summer before I bought my new bags. I just took forever to edit that series haha.
@@AMAYERICAN what brands your new ones
@@devonbradley3395 diamond back artisan
Uuuummmm sorry but u lost me at “just gotta keep sucking it down”. That was a really nice… Wait what was you building????😊😊😍
This guy has a large female client list.
What screw gun are you using
It’s a brushed Milwaukee if I remember right. Shoot almost ten years old I bet.
This guy is so hot 🔥
How come you used glue?
To prevent the miter from opening up over time. Worked well
@@AMAYERICAN thanks
@@malinoisnation9392 you bet thanks for watching ! I actually avoid miters on picture frame boarders. I just do a butt joint and orient the end grain in the least noticeable direct. As long as you ease the edge 1/8 round over bit it looks great. And you never have to worry about it opening up. I covered that in the deck stair/ stamped concrete vid. What are your thoughts on that method?
I got to 37 seconds before hyperventilating.
i just love benning outside with no t shirt and i'm wearing jeans and shoes see my hairy nipples and my hairy belly button and my hairy armpits i just love stick out my tounge is soft now
