yes!! this is why I watch this channel, planter boxes that can double as a bomb shelter👌
no kidding
A bomb shelter with chamfered pegs, no less
😀👍
😂👏
Only because the timber is perfectly straight, it would fall apart if you sneezed if Jess got her way with wonky timber! 😂
Mahogany !
I just thought the same😂
When Jess says "chamfer the peg", this Canadian hears "chamfer the pig" ... leading me to wonder why N.Z. has wooden pork :-)
The Kiwis want to brag about their "big peg decks", but in North America we just go straight to calling them "hogs".
Sorry.
Sure Aye!
Yes, it did sound like pig.
Reminds me of the time I went to fairfax and I ordered a “Big Deck Burger” and the waitress heard “Big Dick Burger” it became slightly awkward haha
@@EUC-lid😂😂
Damn 16 bucks for a toastie. Great video Scott!
Yeah 16nzd for a toastie and 40nzd for a sleeper. One sleeper is worth 2 and a half toasties. Don't know if New Zealand just has cheap timber or expensive toasties. I feel like the sleeper-toastie ratio in the UK would be about 6.
That was the nicest chiseling mallet to ever been used in garden work i presume :) Love your habits Scott!
Scott isn't extra I'd say, he's just doing it right no matter the jobsite or how important or not it seems to be. How you do one thing is how you do everything!
OCD FTW!
That sash is a thing of beauty indeed 🤩.
Chamfered pig is an excellent band name 🤘🏻🤘🏻😆🧱👍🏽
Tip for then the screw jams and the impact drive won’t move it, cut the head off leaving 100mm, then put the tip in your drill chuck and reverse it out much more torque👍🏻 As always great video Scott!
I came here to say exactly the same.
Generally the continous torque of a drill will remove screws that impacts dont remove
I would have used a block and prybar, lifting under the head with one person whilst rtrying to reverse it out first. Just hate the thought of wasting a good screw.
I’ve done this but it actually damages your chuck doing this. The three teeth that hold the drill bit tend to get damaged, also instead of cutting the head off why not just use the drill to get it out?
Put the torx bit with a hex adaptor into a 1/2" socket set and use a galvanised pipe as a breaker bar.
Scott, I think your attention to detail is what makes you such a great builder. I bet you are one of those guys that sees things on a job site others may not. Love your channel!!
I watched this episode with my wife. We are planning on building a couple of planter boxes like these. Now her expectations have gone up considerably. Thanks Scott, thanks a lot!
Well, after watching this episode, your attention to detail and willingness to practice good habits to produce good results is inspiring, impressive and....being an excellent role model for present and future carpenters/wood craft persons.
out of curiosity why not chuck the root ball and the big logs into the planters? They'll break down eventually but at least take up some volume in the planters.
That's exactly what I was thinking when I seen him throwing them into the trailer, I have 10metre long tree trunks in the bottom of my raised beds knowing they will feed helpful bugs and bacteria for the next 5 to 10 years
Because it’s yucca logs and they re-sprout extremely easily when left in the ground, not something you want growing in your veggie garden
@@travisrussell3128 thanks didn't know what type of logs he was dumping and guess you definitely don't want anything but what you plant growing in raised beds
As well as a "but can he hang a door?" Shirt .. now I really won't a "chamfer on a peg" Shirt.. honestly I'd wear it with pride ... know no one that doesn't work with their hands would understand.. top one jess
a real craftsman, rare nowadays 💪
Jess is right a well tended garden is a happy garden. She is efficient. 😎 Also this is very accurate title for this video.
I honestly thought Jess said "Shampoo on a pig" which funnily enough still works 😂😂. Love the channel Scott and Jess. Much love from Australia.
i'm just enjoying watching a cold season since it is mid 90s here where I am now. just seeing you wear coats and long sleeves makes me feel cooler
Simple is best, Love your video Scott!!
''It's like you're milking the tree'' I nearly died laughing! Great planter boxes :D
Jess you are the chamfer to Scotts peg........
Scott Brown Carpentry And Gardening With Jess
😀👍
Thanks for the tips for filling the planter boxes, Jess. Love that Scott is so fussy, and this week's highlight for me was the look of intense concentration on Jess's face as she drilled screws into the planter wood.
We're so fortunate to have you in our neighbourhood. This week, the local kids put up signs urging passing cars to honk their horns. While one might expect Scott and Jess to be annoyed by this orchestrated setup, when they came out to see what was going on, they appeared relieved that it wasn't something more serious. My kids aspire to become famous UA-camrs. The way that you both carry yourselves is something to be proud of, you also make this dream seem somehow both more desirable and achievable.
She calls you fussy, but you can tell by the way she looks and talks to you that she's incredibly proud of your skills.
Thumbs up for the title alone 😂
Tell Jess to do strawberries in hanging baskets along with baby tomatoes also..looking good folks..
I had such a similar scenario with my chippy boyfriend building vege garden wicking beds... I"m in Oz, so need wicking beds instead of usual garden beds but they looked very similar. Glad that you guys got to share the same joy 🙂
Scott, you and Jess are hilarious! I need another t-shirt, and Chamfer the Peg fits my woodworking OCD quite well too. Do it! It will sell!
Yes are they still doing t-shirts
@Scottbrowncarpentryt if your doing the Scotty brown tees my partner & I will definitely get one each can you please let me know where to order . As didn't see any on your page no pressure . Love you and Jess & the Dutch guy
So good Scott & Jess. Jess you have learned a lot about soil and gardening … bring on 🌼🌸🌺💐🌷😎
If you ever get to the Northern California coast (or Sequoia/Kings canyon National park) check out a Redwood forest. Redwood trees are amazing!
Strawberries planted in Marley gutter fixed to a fence grow well.
The strawberries hang over the edge of the gutter and it’s easy to install netting to keep the birds away.
UA-cam subtitles thought Jess said "shampooing a pig". Made complete sense to me though. Why waste time and shampoo on a pig? Love all of y'all's videos and of course Scott's attention to detail.
Strawberry Camarosa is an excellent variety to grow 👍
Raised beds so structurally perfect, you could put a mattress on it.
Bringing raised beds to the next level. Great job, as usual. Liked the way you levelled with a string line
I love the chamfer on a peg! I do stuff like that too. Even if nobody will ever see it, you know it's there. If it makes you happy, thats all that matters.
I used Gorilla Grip glue to glue some of our rimu dining chairs back together after they split along the grain in some places! Some bits were even the legs! That stuff is still holding strong 5 or so years later! :-)
Scott since you have a sliding miter saw add a 3/4 inch board to fence and place the large timber against the the 3/4 inch; which allow you to cut through the large timber. Great job on building the planter box.
Hey Scotty and Jess!
I just watched your latest episode, and man, you guys never disappoint! Bringing raised beds to a whole new level, the planter boxes turned out absolutely stunning. Scotty, your carpentry skills are on another level, and it's always a pleasure watching you work your magic.
Jess, your gardening ideas are brilliant! Planting strawberries as a ground cover under that big tree is a fantastic move. I'm definitely stealing that idea for my own garden. And kudos to both of you for embracing the cold weather and still getting things done. Your positivity is contagious!
I must say, watching you guys work together is inspiring. You make carpentry and gardening look like a breeze, and it's evident that you're both passionate about what you do. Scotty, your attention to detail and the way you levelled with a string line had me nodding in approval. And Jess, your eco-friendly approach with composting and using logs and root balls in the planters is genius.
Your sense of humor always brings a smile to my face, and it's what makes your videos so enjoyable to watch.
Anyway, keep up the fantastic work, you two! Your channel is my go-to for woodworking and gardening inspiration. Can't wait to see what you'll come up with next. Cheers!
“Particularness”😂. Extremely diplomatic. Scott truly is a perfectionist……….which is why he’s with you!😊
Redwood inground contact will rot almost as fast as Pine. It is only rated for use as a cladding in NZ when it is heartwood.
"chamfer on a peg" would be a great shirt!
Those planter boxes are gonna outlive a lot of the house lol.
Next time it gets stuck, grab a socket set and the bit to fit 1/4drive of the torx or hex head and back it out that way. Shifter/wrench etc works as well
Another exciting episode closer to 400!
Dear Scott, I realy like the way you're working, trying to make everything right.
As of now, we haven't constructed our raised planter beds because we're utilizing that space for storage during the ongoing construction. While in Florida, I've been searching for suitable natural materials for our organic garden, but I haven't come across a satisfactory option yet. In our previous experience out west, we used TKC (Cedar) due to its affordability and quality. Redwood was not feasible at that time due to its high cost and limited availability. I am looking into some of the premade options as they may be less expensive down here than building my own. Ron
You had me at chamfering the Pegs!
Down in chch we can get topsoil from Fulton hogan all year round, they might have similar offerings in nelson. They screen it and keep it in big sheds to stop it getting waterlogged and clogged. Although if you don't mind waiting no stress! It's probably more for civil contractors but I stumbled across it 10 years ago! I reckon that Japanese carpenter you like has got into your head, and I love it, seeing you chamfer with a block plane when a router or planer would've done shows the level you like to operate at! As regarding strawberries, if I have one recommendation it is to build a cover, otherwise the birds will enjoy them before you've had a chance to! Chur!
I was doing joinery from 16 to 68 years of age just retired keep going Scott
Visit a local farm or stables, well rotted horse manure is great for growing vegetables in and considerably cheaper 😊
NZD$13 for a cheese and baked bean toastie is daylight robbery
What absolutely fabulous planters! Those logs and root ball Scott took to the tip could have gone in the bottom of the planter too. Anything can go in down the bottom even large'ish logs, and you can even throw in your vege offcuts, prunings, some manure etc, then just top up with compost for planting. If you start a triple compost bin going now, and put paper, sticks, cardboard, veges offcuts, prunings (not weeds though unless you're doing 'hot' composting) etc you might have enough compost to top up your beds by next year too (they will need topping up each year). Take a squiz at Self Sufficient Me on you tube - Ozzie - but great for newbie gardeners
"Let's get into it" 😉 top recommendation👍🏾
@@flangekiwi Ha ha yup - always!
Came to say the same thing!
Hearing it as “chamfer on a pig” made it even better
It's interesting that you have illustrated your active forestry environment- also that redwoods were imported and planted in NZ, as a forester (retired) I did not know that.
Exceptionally Well Done. Red WOOD Timber Milled by Land Milling Putaruru NZ deserves to be on the Map
@TScottbrowncarpentry Have a look at what Harry Weber from Weber Bros Circus Cambridge 'The Circus" has done with Redwood Timber "Father Christmas town" an absolute Show Town in their Christmas Show that toured Auckland prior to Christmas three years ago and Christchurch two years ago prior to Christmas. "The Circus" is currently touring Australia and are in Emerald Queensland
If a jobs worth doing it’s worth doing well Scott, the gardens beginning to take shape. Thanks for the latest exciting episode.👍👍
Great to,watch your journey folks 🤘😎🤘🇬🇧
Probably the best production value video you have yet, Scott!! And interesting as always!!
Therapeutic as always 😄! Calming down and providing the joy of seeing great personalities working together, getting things done and sharing with the world their great habits.
Store your coffee ground is buckets with little water and after a week or two put that in the planter under topsoil.
Chamfer a peg has to be a merchandise idea 😊
I'd paint them green, helps with blending them in with the surroundings.
Hugelkulter is a great method to use in raised beds, with all the rain you get in the South Island the wood should break down in a year or so, lots of soil microbes and healthy veggies...
Good luck with the 1st season in the new beds😊 Charles Dowding (here on UA-cam) does all his no-dig gardening in compost 👍🏾
Love the hugelkulture principles, they're working in my garden (4th year in this property)🌻
I'm sure you already know this, but using a regular drill instead of an impact driver for those long screws is much faster and quieter. Thanks for the vid!
Your compost will shrink by 3/4 or more. You can easily fill those boxes level to the top and then top them up with topsoil when it arrives.
I’d love to make planter boxes like that for my garden but the termites would have a field day where I live.
You built an absolute tiger tank of a planter box brother Scotty B!
It WOULD make an awesome t-shirt Jess!! "Chamfer on a peg!!"
Great job, but you definitely went overkill on those tiny beds. I also used hugelkultur to fill my beds and I made the mistake of using wet wood rather than letting them dry first. That wet wood ended up sprouting a ton of shoots/branches/whatever all over my bed. Next year, I'm going to let them dry first.
Dude I think you've given me the "particular" bug, according to my missus small jobs which should take a couple of hours now take a couple of days, her argument is I go over board, mine is I want it done right and once,so take my time to ensure its on point, I after years of watching your clips Ive narrowed it down to your meticulous habits and I thank you for that my fellow kiwi!!
Love that wee brass bound mallet!
Dude! Put your bit in your drill and one 1. Gets those stuck suckers out every time. Saves wasting an expeny screw! 👌
First time seeing garden sleepers cut with a Festool mitre saw!
Good video, getting there, good to see you’re better with hand plane than electric 😂😂 looking forward to your videos…
The boxes turned out beautiful, love the scenery in the area also.
I could 110% watch a full feature length movie of all of this work!
I built outdoor planting beds for my ex several years ago.
I used pt 4x4s and drilled clearance holes though the first two layers. Offsetting them as I put them down. I ought some rebar and cut 36 " lengths and then pounded them into the ground. That stopped it moving. I put poly on the insides of the timber framing to prevent it leaching out. My sensei and I went to the county dump to get a trailer full of compost. The trailer just fill it up enough to the top.
We had veg up the wazoo. So many tomatoes that we couldn't eat so the squirrels scoffed the rest of them.
Overbuild was the term we all have been search while watching the video. Excellent stuff and perfect entertainment.
You’re going to need some cover/screen on the garden boxes to stop the birds snacking on your silverbeet and strawberries. Those garden boxes are a thing of beauty.
Scott Brown = Quality
Strawberries - I have thought about doing a hydroponics system with ex-downpipe for a while now - never got around to it. Hopefully Jess you get a great crop!
Nice and interesting video as usual. Good to see there are still some trades people that care about their craft. You're a great role model for young apprentices.👍
Hi Scott, when I get screws stuck in hardwood I use the drill/driver to release them. The extra torque helps. Love your work.
Brings me back seven years to the first one you showed on UA-cam!
I'm building some redwood vege boxes myself. It is amazing how many people will use treated timber, but I was always going to use untreated, either macrocarpa or redwood.
Fisher & Paykel? You have great taste!
i have three planters which are 1.200 wide by 4.000. i use home made compost to top them up every year. amazing how the soil level drops each year. two big bins should be enough. i fill a bin over a year and then turn it over into the other bin for use. as the stuff on top has had a year to break down is is usually very rich. my bins each hold 1.8 square metres. amazing that you got redwood. in wanganui i used macrocarpa as that was availbale in untreated and generally lasts 20 years outside.
I admire the perfection of your work Scott. Thats what made me watch more and more. Even cleaning the site before work etc. I do diy and thats what i see you do and apply it to my work. Esp the dust prevention.
We love every episode watchers from the beginning just wish there was more of you & Jess 😂 like 2 episodes . Love your banter & think yourve both done incredibly well .
Expensive flower boxes.
Excellent planter boxes. Quick tip for next time you are filling a planter box, use garden bags for the soil / compost / leaves you are putting in. Much easier to shovel into a garden bag in the barrow and then just lift the garden bag of material and tip it in the bed. :) One lot of shovelling and much less mess. Wondering why you didn't put the logs in the bottom of the beds? Disease? Concerned they may sprout? Trailer - 8 x 5 minimum, tandem, with electric - hydraulic hoist. Investment I know, but really worth it, especially at this stage of your lives. Really looking forward to the kitchen windows happening. Paint is going to transform that room.
Hello Scott. I built a raised garden bed to grow strawberries. I put a black tarp between the wood and the soil to protect the wood. Guess what? A few years later the wooden bed got rotten. I hope yours stays strong longer. A big hug from Brasil. Love the exciting episodes.
Should of painted the inside of the boxes black. They will last a lot longer Scott. 👍. Great job as always. 👍
Hey Scott and Jess. Hi from South Africa. Wow, the plastering looks amazing, can't wait to see it fully painted 👍. I must say........ that's some heavy-duty planter boxes 😂. They look awesome. Love the Red Wood. Happy planting, Jess. By the way, like you, we are feeling the cold, it's hectic with some snow in certain parts and very icy winds here. Anyway, no use complaining about the cold weather here, there are more pressing issues globally at the moment than to fuss about nature 😂. Great videos, keep it up 👍. Cheers. Take care
Hey Jess and Scott,
Good change of pace from the renovation routine.
For Jess: don't worry for the planter's "warning" color, it will grey out fast.
The "autofertile lasagna" (that's a rough translation of how we call them here) work well. It keeps moisture and cool when it gets really dry and hot, like right now for us in the North hemisphery. However, it takes some time to set. That's like a little ecosystem that installs itself there, with insects, bacterias and such. It often takes over a year for the wood to start rotting properly and hosting all this beneficial life. Don't be in too much of a hurry for immediate returns, you're in for the long run with these.
Good video, thank you!
Another great video!!
Jess! Strawberries are very aggressive. Whatever box you plant them in, they will completely take it over!
Not if you cut the runners off they won't
They are a good ground cover under trees, but you'll be battling the birds for the fruit. My strawberries have their own planter box, bit bigger than Jess's and I throw a net over them, once the time comes.
It wasn't until about 15 minutes that I realized Scott was saying "Pegs" and not "Pigs". lol. I love listening to New Zealanders talk. Keep up the great work!
It reminds me of the second house I had. I really wanted to go self-sufficient, so I went and got some chickens first(which turned out to be bantams). Still good, but little eggs. And I had a real push at growing vegetables which was also a big learning curve. (battling with slugs and snails) - I do remember getting horse manure for the square raised beds and arranging them with shell paths ( Symmetrical) The flies that summer were apocalyptic, especially for our poor neighbour where I had put the vegetable garden. Good memories it is about learning along the way. Now planning the dream house/garden, I want to revisit some of these self-sufficient ideas and planter boxes are a good idea, especially if you have poor soil along with solar power.
Nice work, Jesse and Scott. :) Thank you and have a great week.
