Scott: "I don't mind imperfections"
Also Scott: *Crawls under his house to lift one floor board 2 mm*
2mm is quite a lot though
@@IvelLeCog 100% i would stubb my toe daily on 2mm. :D
As a Dutch person I love seeing Ray in these video’s. Although I knew the term “waterpomptang” I always thought it got its name as a tool to remove water pumps. Until Ray explained the handle of the plier is similar to old waterpumps. Amazing what you can still learn.
Other Dutchie here. I agree. Somehow I get the impression that Ray did something else here in the Netherlands before he became a famous carpenter from NZ! (And that's a positive comment if someone doubts my first sentence).
Same here😊
I couldn't believe Jess pronounced it perfectly right the 3rd time! Well done for sure. Will "steeksleutel" be the next attempt?
@@rickt151yes I am South African and speak Afrikaans which is similar to Dutch and I was also shocked at how good she pronounced "waterpomptang". Should also try "Moersleutel"😅
Same here. Thanks Raymond. Keep up learning Scott and Jess some Dutch words.
Oh I hope we get more Scott and Ray when the house is done. What a team
Thank you, Scott. We visited New Zealand and hiked through native forests like these, including at Abel Tasman National Park. They were one of the most beautiful things we ever experienced. I'm glad the people of New Zealand are trying to preserve something of what they have.
***Q&A Question***
Scott, have you always been so level headed and calm about the building process? If not, then any tips on how to not stress out like crazy when managing a big job?
Just also wanted to say that I have loved the channel ever since I started my apprenticeship all the way to now as I’m starting my own building company in Sydney (Benchmark Carpentry).
You’ve been a massive inspiration to me along the way, not only the work you do, but your attitude towards life seems to be so genuine and ecstatic. I hope renovating your own house is living up to the dream. It’s been an amazing 400 eps. Thank you for sharing a slice of your life with us. Truly thankful to you and Jess.
I was surprised how calm he was the new tablesaw tipped over and hit the concrete.
I felt sad when Ray had to explain who Kraftwerk were.
I felt old 😂
@@LawrenceConnolly That is what made me sad.
@@tamhunter4035me too
Theres a ripoff brand now, kraftworld, really low quality stuff, almost fell for it 😂
kraftwerk are coming to NZ
Exact same marital thickness planer I have. Had it for about 10 years. You won't be disappointed with it; for its size it does a great job. Hook it up to a dust extractor to assist getting the woodchips out the way.
Can you include Ray in some of the Q & A?
I'd be interested in knowing the ratio of hours you spend a week in; planning, buying matrials; doing the job; time taken up positioning and recording; number of cameras you use; time spent at the computer preparing the episode; etc.
Love your work guys!
Tip for Ramond; Hé Ray - vermoedelijk de langste timmerman in NZ - ik vind het altijd leuk om jou bij Scott in de video te zien. Soort van Nederlandse trots. Leuk dat je het daar 'voor elkaar hebt' maar ik moet even een beetje oud hollands katten maat. Dat was geen waterpomptang maar een pijp- of pijpentang, ook wel stillsonsleutel (naar de uitvinder, Daniel C. Stillson). Sorry maar ik ben een beetje gereedschapfreek enne,....nou ja. Hoop jou en Scott nog veel te zien, jullie zijn een goed koppel en maken prachtig werk. Groetjes uit Holland
Hey Scott! Love your work. Not sure if this would fit in your Q&A: As a hearing care professional I’d love if you can keep promoting hearing protection. We see a lot of noise induced hearing loss in tradies and it often is because they don’t bother with proper PPE/ear protection. Paying with permanent damage to their ears later. Thanks mate!
Kudos for using the advanced design technique of letting the floor tell part of the story of the house and not getting perfectionist about trying to make everything "match".
Please consider limewash paint for at least one of the large walls. It can provide a lush color and subtle texture combination that can turn a wall into something to contemplate.
A perfect "Scott Brown Here" - a tour de force of Scott Brown Here-ism. Early in the vid, element of surprise and perfect delivery. Encore. 10/10.
That interior is really starting to look like a place. Terrific.
Hey Scott, wanted to thank you and Jess. My wife (also Jess) has started watching your channel w me, and she's been inspired by your Jess to help me with house stuff. We're having a riot building a greenhouse together. Thanks from Canada!
Jess & Scott...
Legends, the both of you.
I don't really have a question, just wanted to say this is one of the most wholesome channels on YT. I've shown you to grannies and kiddos alike and everyone seems to love it. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to (content-wise) once the house is completed. All the best and keep being you. x
Q&A will be awesome
An update on Paerau would be great.
Congratulations on the 400 episodes fantastic job.
I laughed so hard when you tried to use the standard vacuum head to suck up the thicknesser chips. They would fill your vacuum so fast. You need a proper dust extractor like your table saw extractor to deal with them. 😅
Nice thickness planer! I use them all the time and I’ve noticed sometimes the direction of the grain matters with blowout or chip out. It’s nice when it’s figured out and it makes for less sanding.
Love you and Jess, such a friendly, happy and enjoyable couple working together. Ray, is a ray of sunshine with his Dutch accent and language. So glad you got push stick, last episode, I was cringing as you was pushing timber through with your hands, the thought of kick back and your hands slipping.
Keep the good work up, so enjoying the episodes and congrats on about to reach 400 episodes, may the continue.
Congratulations on the 400 episodes! It's been a long journey.
Why doesn't Jess start her own Gardening channel? She has some notoriety now, and this great platform to help it grow. Sort of a Learn with Me channel but she's learnt so much about it, she knows far more than the average person. Her knowledge on this would be really useful. Plus, it has the potential to double your income, and double your sponsorships and finally Jess can get into the Free Stuff. :D
I’ve watched it again SBC .. so good guys.. Scott & Jess your house is looking good!💐🌸😎☀️
I had a very good chuckle at you trying to use the vacuum on the planer 😆
It's also called ; Vandpumpetang in Danish.. When i built/laid my floors in my old house, the screws i got, was also with a squarehead bit. Looking good, and spring is coming in NZ, i love the NZ spring and summer, so maybe i'll go back later this year..
400 oh my! I love how the house renovation is going. Well done!
Re. Table Saw: be mindful of the dust and wear a good quality respirator.
I'd love to see a top 10 section of must have tools 10 basic 10 intermediate and 10 Pro tools from the smallest tools to the ones that would take your timber work to the next level
Awesome idea! Would love to see this also.
Just look at that progress...and you know that the "bones" behind the walls are solid and well engineered. Love the ending Scott...punching quietly...nice touch LOL From Eastern Canadian household, Prince Edward Island, Atlantic Canada. eh!☺ 🇨🇦👷♀
Hi Scott and Jess. Great channel. Finally got round to subscribing to you guys. I have nearly seen all your videos after coming across your channel just before you moved to Nelson. I found one of your videos on building steps really helpful as my son is living/working on a dairy farm in Waikato and previous contract milker built a deck in front of house but didnt make steps. son is really busy as is owner so I offered to build some steps but stringer method looked to complicated so used your series of box type steps method. It worked well and the owner was pleased enough to pay me a few hundred $$, crazy, as I was just doing it for my family to access deck easier. So thank you Scott for the great tuitional videos. Keep on building and I love the renovation work you are doing. I'm a retired farm manager and ramp worker and aircraft refueller.
Hi Scott! Reno is looking great :)
I mentioned this on an episode a month or so ago but there were moments in this video that I really loved so thought I’d share again.
The moment without music, especially you and Jess at the end worked really well, for me at least. I felt more connected and actually found myself watching more actively. I think it also gave me a better sense of time in the episode and the jobs you’re doing.
All that is mainly to say I look forward to episodes every Friday! Keep up the great work :)
Cheers Scott, Jess and crew, its a pleasure to watch you do quality work in such a relaxed and thoughtful manner. Hope the reno keeps going smoothly for you mate.
Q&A Question - Any future additions or planning related to your garage workshop that you're thinking about and willing to share? I just started building out my own and look forward to watching you for inspiration!.
And happy #400! I've seen them all at least once and have been watching since shortly after you started!
I like the Milwaukee packout wall. I too went a little crazy with the Packouts and have them all over the garage now.
Ray trying to catch the dust made my day.
Ray, hoover head, thicknesser. Funniest thing I’ve seen in a while.😂😂
All praise Robertson screws, tough to find here, plus very expensive. I'll "have my eyes 400" (aware/ on alert, in Greek) to get some😋
Square bit screws originate from here in Canada, square bit is called a “Robertson/Robbie” advantage of it is that the screw won’t fall off in any position it is being held.
Great work on the Reno… I’ve been watching since prior to your move and also past videos.
Our family love watching your channel, especially our 5 year old. We would love to hear your ideas on simple ways that the kids could get involved in house renos. Congrats on 400 eps!
Q&A question: How long do you think the renovation will take, what are your plans after (back to client projects?), and do you have any gigs planned while you're still going or are you working on your own house fulltime until it's done?
Idea for 400th exiting episode. Maybe a show some shots of what the house looked like before you started renovating and now to show the changes so far
Hi Scott & Jess, congrats on 400th video guys. I don't relay have a question on the topics ideas you gave but I was wondering how Paerau is recovering after his fall?
The room looks awesome, very excited for you guys!
You can thank us Canadians for our beautiful Robertson(square head) screws 😊
"There's flex in the nut!", sometimes your future merch just writes itself >
A tip for your track saw. Place a piece of painter's tap over the window to the nut that secures the blade. This will greatly increase dust collection.
You can buy a custom plastic cover for lot of plunge saws to do same job,same result as tape, the increase in dust collection is pretty impressive
But doesn't it seek that he dust collector is blocked or something? I'm surprised the upper bag is not inflating at all when he starts the blower
Hey Scott, bumped into my Tutor from Toi Oho Mai this week at Bunnings of all places and I thanked him for putting us all (our class) onto your channel 2 years ago. I also told him that you continue to be my inspiration for wanting to continue in Carpentry and why I want to complete my apprenticeship so I can build my own home one day. I don't normally watch channels like this but I really have enjoyed yours a lot because your easy to follow and understand plus its always great to see what Jess is up to or seeing Ray helping you out. I just wanted to share that with you but also ask a question for your next episode.
I'm about to buy my first kit which I've decided to go with Makita. What are your top 4 recommended tools I must have?
Thanks again for the great channel, the reno is looking really smick by the way (",)
We had visitors from England a few years ago and during our travels, came across that same type of bird on the beach….. Bill said “what’s that chicken thing?” Ah, the cheeky Weka. It’s always referred to that chicken thing ever since.
Bush chicken
I bet the floor will look fantastic when the sanding is done and the finish applied Scott. Just a thought Scott, change your push stick from plastic to wood because it grips a bit better. Thanks for the latest exciting episode. 👍👍
@7:37. So in Nelson, New Zealand, "road kill" is macadamia nuts.
Ray being in disbelief over the screw head got me giggling 😂
5:52 Nailed it with the dust collection mate 🤣😂🤣
Just look how damn beautiful that wood looks coming out of the planer. Insane how good that looks and recycled too is just fabulous Scott 👍🏻
Having a conversation with your carpenter about Kraftwerk...Priceless.
I was surprised to learn how much NZ native was sent to San Fransico for their rebuild after the 1906 earthquake and fire. Another great video.
Ray I’m with you - I absolutely deeply and truly from
the bottom of my heart hate the square head screws! Screw them! (Or maybe not;-))
As a French🇨🇵 i can tell is not habitual to use square head screws it an exception... As Ray said in Europe Philips#1#2, Pozidriv#1#2 are more common but now a days most of the time on jobsite we use torx screws (T15, T20, T25 and T30). How i know about Robertson screws because sometimes our materials suppliers send us square screws #2. Another supplier was delivered us stainless square screws #1.😢 The last one was terrible to use because the head was getting round so quick...
This dude is an excellent builder.
True craftsmanship! Watched a few of his vids and have learnt alot.
Wish u all the best mate! 👍
Congratulations on your 400th episode. I look forward every week to see your latest. You, Jess and Ray are truly beautiful people.
Big table saw and a planer! You'll be a furniture maker in no time!
Gotta love those square head Robertson screws. Invented in Canada.
Thank you Ray the carpenter for telling me the plumber how the waterpomptang get´s its waterpomp into the name!!
Allways believed it to have something to do with the water in the plumbing job, never found the pomp to have a good explanation.
Happy with this knowledge!!
Allthough i am not sure if the size of pliers you where using on that macadamia still is a waterpomptang, it sure has the same handle style.
I know that one either as a "Zweedse tang" or in short as a "moordenaar"
The place is really coming along - I can't wait to see what the space looks like when it's all done. Gotta love that beautiful Nelson sun too - it's been pretty crappy here in Wellington and we're only a 100kms away.
Thanks for another exciting episode Scott. Love the show man. Still loving my spaceman T. ❤
Hi Scott, Jess, and Ray.
Looking good.
A bit surprised that the Makita thicknesser doesn't have a fitting to connect to a vacuum for chip extraction. Your Carbatec dust extractor would be perfect if it could be connected.
I have a similar dust extractor connected to my thicknesser and there are next to no chips flying about.
WHOS KRAFTWERK !! 🤯🤣only one if the most sampled and influential band of the 20 th and 21st century 😍😍🧱👍🏼
An old broad knife is a handy backing when levering flooring against plasterboard to avoid holes or dents in the wall.
My house is rimu, and when you cut a 4x2 it has at least 50 rings in the cross section, its hard as nails.
Square head screws are called Robertson's (a Canadian invention). Really interested story when taken into context versus the American preferred Philips head screws and eventually star drive.
Thank you Scotty and Jess great work. Cheers
Jess's dutch is pretty on point! 👌🏻 As a Dutchy, I approve.
As an Irishman living in canada , I completely get Ray when he mentioned the square head screw s, they drive be insane getting stuck on the bit .
I love my Makita thicknesser! I’m sure you’ll get plenty of good use out of it too. Perhaps look at upgrading the cutter block to a spiral type to give a cleaner finish and easier to sort blades out when you inevitably hit a hidden nail!
“Look at that” love your work
Question for Q&A - When are you bringing merch back! I'd love a long sleeve white t-shirt with a SBC van on it!
Robertson head hardware - a good Canadian invention ! Although I do question the necessity for the free and red sizes.
Mr Fussy here. I really wish you had knitted the new boards in. I have done that in previous reno. Lift ya game. Don't look like a reno then. But keep up the good work.
The old dust pan + vac hose combo is the trick for the thicknesser dust
I cannot wait to see this finished product! I hope your sponsor, Square Space, know that I enjoy this content so much that I do not skip the "pay the bills" part. Respect
Hi following from Scotland what got me hooked to your channel was the deluge hammer, I own one and it's the best hammer in the world bar none. After 28 years of joinery I developed carpool tunnel syndrome.. Maybe all in my mind but CTS gone in three weeks of using deluge hammer. Also puts a 4 inch nail quicker than any eastwing. Keep up the good work!
My house rimu studs, joists, beams, matai floor boards. Built 1923. 100 years ago in September. Same family owners 👍👍
Your video has just informed me that I have confusing kiwis and dodos. I’d have sworn kiwis were extinct. Doh!
But at least I knew what kraftwerk was.
If you mean the bird on the beach, it was a weka. And you’re right, it’s the dodo that’s extinct
Kiwis are nocturnal and very shy. They are not extinct, but endangered, In the wild, they are a target of introduced predators, however there is a comprehensive conservation effort. What you saw was a weka, which are common and just a damn nuisence. Too tough for even the introduced predators, mainly. Dodos are extinct for centuries.
gold and green always go well.
Keep all that trimmings/sawdust etc from milling the Rimu. DON"T throw it away. Store it in a dry place and you will find that it is perfect when put though an old coffee grinder to fill nail holes in your Rimu floors. They will simply disappear if added to a little glue.
Hey scott. a floorsander can take off like 2 mm at a time with a low grit paper. so that level diff is no problem :)
Ahhhh, floor sanding. That can only mean "dust storm!" inside the house. Back in the day (late 1980s) I had my previous house in California where I had the carpeting removed which exposed beautiful oak flooring. Needless to say I had it removed and refurbished because it didn't have a subfloor. The contractor saved all the oak flooring planks and refurbished then reinstalled them. The sanding part was the worst part of the project because it created a thick layer of dust in many areas.
Always interesting to see how you do things. Looks like those last floorboards were quite tight to the wall. In the UK, we'd normally leave a gap around the perimeter of up to 10mm for expansion, which is then covered by the skirting.
Congratulations on the 400th video coming up!!
“I don’t mind imperfections “. Hmm we’ve watched you long enough to question that comment 😂
Looking great, an ikea smart plug and remote switch is great to turn the dust extractor on from the table saw
I am South African, and I had to love the "Water pomp tang," and yes, I use squire bits too, and they get stuck....
Yay new Tools for Finish work, I got to use my New Scott Brown Recommended Makita Track saw for the first time on my butcher block counters the other day... Was so worth the money...
Q&A - You still have a lot to do, but you're getting there. What's your projected completion date now, and what's next for Scott Brown Carpentry? Will you and Ray continue on jobs in your new area?
If you regularly resaw rimu lumber, a bandsaw would be an easier option. It is a thinner kerf. It also gives you the excuse to purchase a decent quality bandsaw for your carpentry business.
Q&A
I love the visual direction of your videos, what do you consider to be your inspirations? What is your favorite power tool of each brand?
congratulations for the constancy of the channel, your videos are extremely inspiring and entertaining, greetings from the other side of the ocean, Chile 🇨🇱.
man 400 comming up 😂 i sure hope u make it to a 1000 your content is relaxing to watch and your aproach to the work is such an inspiration. i cant imagin what you guys are goaing threw with the reno and having to make content aswell. good thing you dont have kids yet cuz that would have made it 19x harder 😅
❤ from Denmark.
In Sweden I’ve only seen square head screws being used to install metal window sills. They’re rare enough to cause panic if your not a full time builder since the bits aren’t in any normal bit case. Holding on to the one included is of utter importance.
They're also in some floor/skirting(? list/sockel) screws here but yeah, not common. I like them though. Are there more than two sizes?
@@calvinasinhobbes Philips is actually a "cousin" to Robertson. But yes, Philips is frustrating at best. Complete garbage screws.
Philips is still the most common here in australia. Been buying sqaure or torx for a couple years now, they're just a life saver in certain service situations where you're regularly returning.
Other than the striping out with use problem I prefer them to start over a square. It's like learning how to balance a screw again when I moved to them 😂
Hi Scott and Jess. We used that exact colour of velvet curtian in our master bedroom (our last house). It looked really dramatic without being overpowering. We had a wallpaper with the same green in it.
Hey there Scott & Jess! My whole fam loves your channel! Do you guys feel like this is your forever home & if not - where would you want to move? 💕
Just watched 1500 screws for nostalgia reasons ❤😂😂😂😂🏴
So happy. I had a yt detox and now ive got a tonne of episodes!!!
fun to watch as always, thank you 🙂
Wow 400 episodes and I remember the race to get to 100. Congratulations! My favourite NZ youtuber.
You have Rimu, I have elm. Beams, lintels, floorboards, doors, door jams, joists all elm but there isn’t any more so conserve every bit that’s not too wormy.
Also I have started looking into mitre gauges for the table saw and I would invest in a good mitre gauge, especially one that allows you to move the fence or attach a different fence. And get one, that allows you to set a wide range of angles. The mitre gauge that came with my table saw, only allows me to go from 30 degrees to 90 degrees. But if you buy a good mitre gauge that allows you to set 5 degree increments, then you can cut tapered legs. I am thinking of buying the "Incra Miter 1000"...
