Nice to see a pro use them. I made some planters up using 200x100 sleepers. Originally I bought spax wirox for the lower layers. Seriously deer box of screws for 6x200 think £100 or so I from TS. I ran out (had a lot of sleepers and levels to build on them) I bought some of these forge fast fixings at a fraction of the cost of the spax. Took a chance and they’re brilliant. The bit lasted through 2 boxes still hasn’t broken. All driven home with no pilot no screws broken. Very impressed, the spax screws have their place for some applications no doubt.
Hi John. I was aware of the cost of these type of fixings, particularly the Spax ones. The ones in the video weren't cheap, but definitely saved considerable time when making the joints, and, obviously worked a treat for your application.😎Cheers.
There ya go, another little handy tip those screws. And here's me I would have banged two wedges in. I will use those screws, very impressive the way the head of the screw pulls the joint together. And they look good.
Loved the stub tenon detail, jig for the mortice and speed square for the tenon, screws were cool to great video buddy all the best Tony 👍 happy Easter
Hi Tony. I would normally cut full M&T joints and draw dowel, but this a temporary structure, (5 to 10 years), and the customer was looking for savings in labour so I thought this would be a good compromise for a speedy and strong joint. 😎 I was really impressed with how much grip these screws gave considering how big the timbers were.🤩 Thanks for watching mate, and your comment.👍 Have a nice break.
as you drove home that screw, i just bit into a cardamon seed on a home made mid week curry, the combination of both was 🥰 🤪 🎶 👍 nice one Mr Tall. O ya Ive just done a deck frame with them bloody amazing, years ago get your yanky out and pump away ( that might sound obscene to some ) 😜
I don't really know where to start when responding to your comment Jim.🤪 Its an example of when a comment is more than a comment.🤩 Really cool. Thanks for watching.👍
Hi Oliver. I think they would be plenty strong enough. Its what these fixings were designed for. I only went overboard with the mortice and tenon joints on this job as its a for a customer and I didn't want any comeback as its quite a substantial structure.😎 Cheers.
They are a get screw and so reusable I use that same style in smaller sizes 6×60 up to 6×200 won't use any else for construction purposes they just brilliant
Hi there. I really don't use these longer type timber fixings much, but having seen and used these ones, I'll definitely be thinking about using them more in the future. Thanks for your comment.👍
Always use these construction screws for screwing down OSB on top PIR insulation on warm decks. So much holding power. “Wafer head” as I’ve always known them.
@@christaylor5291 Hi Chris. I've used long countersink headed screws for screwing ply over PIR.(still have to counterbore a little for the head) I think you're right about them being called 'wafer head'.😎 Cheers
Hi Paul. I think I mentioned in some text that I predrilled them first. I actually used a 6mm, super long flat bit and drilled to the depth of the waisted part of the shank. I think it helps keep a long screw like these on track.👍 Cheers.
Hi Neil. Its the Makita DTW285 with the DeWalt 1/2" to 1/4" hex bit adapter. It doesn't put the screws in any faster than my normal impact driver, but has a much more heavy duty impact mechanism and so is great for putting lots of these bigger fixings in.😎 Cheers.
@@dannymurphy1779 Good point Danny. I didn't think about the material of the screw when I answered Barry's question, just the screws ability to join oak. You're certainly right about using the correct type of fixings in oak, and the screws I used have a special coating, but it would be best to check if they are suitable for oak.😎 Thanks for putting you comment in mate, its very helpful.👍

Beautiful. Love this little details you show of your work.
Hi there. Appreciate your great comment.🤩 Cheers
Love the way you use the router jig! Live and learn
Hi Garviel. It saves me hiring a chain morticer and, once you've made the jig/template, its pretty quick to cut out a mortice.😎Cheers.
So glad I found this channel.
Hi Brian. That's a lovely comment mate. Thank you.🤩 Have a nice Easter break.👍
Beautiful work as will all of your videos!

A great video with great ideas.. loving the tip and techniques, keep them coming Sir... PS, still waiting for a hip roof video,...
Hi Errol. Hipped gable will be later in the summer I think.😎 Thanks for your comment mate.👍
great fix
Thanks for watching Liam.👍
Hard soap on the screw treads they fly in 👌👌👌👌
Great little tip Mark.🤩 Cheers.
Years ago carpenters had a pot of “tallow” for brass screws.
Still get this from electrical suppliers.
....or if you are backed up into a corner, a knob of butter from your customer’s fridge..... 😗
@@iainw9029 That's cheeky Iain.🤪
Looks great, with oak however that would not move an inch… how can I fix oak this way please ?
I’ve piloted and everything and still so solid
Hi there🖐Yes, oak is a different beast all together🤔and I usually draw my oak joints up with dowels💪Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del
You can't beat a long screw.
Naught boy!!😂
BEAUTIFUL
Cheers.👍
Can I ask what model drill you are using please. I need to drill 280mm through a 209mm sleeper. Thanks.
Hi there🖐It's the DHP458👊Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del
Снимите пожалуйста видео, какие соединения применяются в углах и в верхних узлах спасибо!)👍👍
всем привет. Я постараюсь снять это на видео в следующий раз. Cheers. 👍
do you think you could use these without cutting joints to make a table out of sleepers? ie 2 per leg would they be strong enough?
Hi Oliver. I think they would be plenty strong enough. Its what these fixings were designed for. I only went overboard with the mortice and tenon joints on this job as its a for a customer and I didn't want any comeback as its quite a substantial structure.😎 Cheers.
NOOICE!!! 👌
Cheers.👍
Is your combination square a old style “ Moore and Wright” ?
I think its an American Stanley square.😀 Its all imperial, and I found it in a shed on a job we were demolishing.👍 Cheers.

Did you pre drill before screwing the screws in??

👍 what impact you using?

Would they be ok with oak sleepers?
Hi Barry. I would say yes, but they wouldn't need to over long, and I would try and pilot drill them first.😎 Cheers.
@@thetallcarpenter I think you need stainless steel for oak on account of the staining.

what bit holder is that
Hi Grant. Its a DeWalt 1/2" square to 1/4" hex adapter.👍 Cheers.
I never seen a T 40 head 😮 only far as T 30 torx
I know they were big fixings bud😬Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del
Omg. Big screws. They exist since 15 years. And if you use these 8mm x X better drill with 6mm.
Cheers Thomas.👍
