Hi, I'm Pete. Northern Works is all about DIY furniture and home improvement projects that help us to consume less, and create more. I've got an ever-growing list of projects, and I'm excited to learn how to build things that I want to use, and that we'd love to see around our home.
If you value great design, but want to consume less of the fast furniture, then I'd love for you to join our community here on UA-cam where we can learn together and share ideas.

    My workshop is in my carport, but it was there when we moved into the house last year. There was a horrible weed/vine that had to be cutdown and removed that was growing up the side and on top of the roof, and now its gone it is obvious how badly it has damaged the old roof. Right now in Australia it's winter and rainy season where I live, and a few days of heavy rain has shown that the roof has lots of leaks. Looks like they didn't put the roofing on properly because it isn't at enough of an angle to drain properly. Some of the roofing is that see-through stuff, which has become dirty and brittle over the years, and the rain pools up on those bits making me worry it will collapse. Guess I have a big job of reroofing to do once the rain stops!

    Another great video Pete. I loved the chart and comparison instead of just picking one and starting straight off. I’m lucky as I’ve got natures soundproofing - 3 deaf elderly neighbours. I do however limit which tools I use on a night and try to make no noise after 8 so I don’t bother the wider street.

    Love your channel. Also Love how down to earth and relatable you are doing projects without spending crap-loads of money on specialty tools - I custom build cabinets, wood counter tops, floating shelves & desk tops (up to 8 feet long) as well as custom coffee tables and end tables & picture frames along with many other custom wood working projects ( as well as custom stain & lacquer finishing) for a living, I do all my work with basic power hand tools and regular hand tools. I cant tell you how many times I've had "Pro cabinet shops" tell me there's no way i did the work I do without all the fancy costly table saws, router tables etc. I have not once had a customer complain about my work (and yes, I do make custom cabinets that match exactly the builder installed cabinets - though out of plywood & solid dimensional lumber, not the crappy particle board and stickers you get from the builders)

    As SteveStevieboy stated the angle on the gate brace is to close to horizontal to be truly effective. Needs to be attached to the vertical at the hinge! And be 45 or sharper angle. Also the wood siding (clap board) is installed upside down.. lol. Probably won’t matter much though in your setting. But hey, if it basically does the job, good going!

    Sorry mate but your gate bracing is less than 45degrees so won’t be very effective.

    • @TheWebstaff

      Is that the rule for bracing? Good to know if it is.

    • @SteveStevieboy
      @SteveStevieboy День тому

      @@TheWebstaff it’s not a rule but as the brace starts to get past 45 degrees it becomes more and more ineffective, just physics really👍.
