If any channel deserves a huge following, I’d say this one does. Kind of restores my faith in humanity if I’m to be honest. Scott is leaving invaluable information for endless generations to soak in. I really can’t get enough of his narration, never patronizing; always clear and concise!
I could listen to him talk about almost anything. The guy has a speaking tone and cadence that is just as pleasant as ive heard. I bet his kids and grandkids loved him reading the bedtime stories to them! He is also a pretty good little carpenter/fabricator too.....LOL awesome skills all around
Craftsman? Yes Essential? Yes Great work sir. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right. If you don't know how to do it right, keep doing it better until you get it right. You are an inspiration!
Some people might not appreciate the planning, skill and experience that goes into this level of quality. I probably don't even pully appreciate it to the full level. But its great seeing you guys take such pride and care in the quality, appearance and function of your work. (from an experienced but still novice finish carpenter)
Wow. Talk about craftsmenship! The thought, the dedication, the skill, the mental focus on creating those columns! Heck, the entire house! I know what it takes from watching and helping my master carpenter grandfather. It’s something today’s generation doesn’t have but a few of. I hope you have been a mentor to young men! We need more of them!
I've been super busy and missed allot of episodes..... I need to do a little binge watching and get caught up. Thanks for putting these videos together!
One mmmmilllllionnnn subscribers! That's awesome and very deserving. I love the tapered columns. I own an 1885 model that had them. When I rebuild the porch I'll recreate them! Right now I have temporary porch waiting foundation replacement. One thing at at a time!
I've been in carpentry for 23 years and your channel teaches me things every new episode. That said, my biggest peeve with both carpenters and painters, especially on new construction is not priming both sides of the wood. You beg for peeling and other moisture issues on the finished product. I just yanked off 1360 ft of 10 inch(8) cedar siding and replaced it with new material. Primed it on both sides with a topcoat of Benjamin Moore stain and we're going to do the west and east sides next year. The front never gets any sun and never peels. The house like several I have rehabbed over the years was built with raw unprimed cedar and stained raw so the moisture inside the house pushes off the coatings. Even had one builder tell my client that hous wrap would make his house explode due to pressure because his wok is so tight lol. He didn't prime an entire 6000 ft cedar home either and they've paid me to reside that entire house. It's a disgusting waste of trees. OK, dismount high horse and continue your excellent videos and work.
Long-time subscriber, here. Found your channel while looking for concrete finishing techniques (you poured the pad for the garage of the spec house-- very good info!). Went back and watched all the vids on building spec house-- powered through them all, and set notifications so I could see everything after that. Anyway... was dearly hoping you would include clear instructions on how to determine angles for tapered columns (and maybe how to cut them if you don't own a table saw). Wanted to build some, once, but no amount of pondering in my ignorant mind contributed to anything like an answer. In a word: I was (and remain) CLUELESS! Beveled edges: totally get that. Center line to help determine angles... lost me there. Fast-motion video as you cut the plywood: left me in the dust. Virtually every other video you've posted fully explains what and why you're doing what you're doing (which is why I love your channel!). This one, though, left me "high and dry". Can you possibly re-purpose some of the video you've already shot, slow it down, and over-dub with some helpful information? Would massively appreciate it!
Nice jig for cutting the tapered columns. It's actually a simple and consistent way to make nice high quality wood items. It's called a sled in the wood working world. That all turned out beautiful!
I think I would have laid these out and cut them with my track saw, that way you wouldn't have to worry about the bow. But his results came out great and the finished product looks amazing.
I’ve been renovating my basement. Your channel, knowledge, insights, and expertise has been really beneficial in helping me get the best results I’m capable of. Thank you for sharing.
I used to do columbs this same way but ever since owning/using a Makita Track saw, I’ve saved about 75% of setup time not to mention all the other uses I find for it on the job site. Definitely a nice touch. Looking great!
Watched every single video of the build & learnt a lot 👍 love the music too! I am not a builder, I am not from the USA & the way things are done here in India, is very different. But there is one thing; I will always know where to look up things if I need to It will be a very lucky family who will live in that house Keep up the good work !
Beautiful work, nice to see someone close to home so successful on UA-cam also. Keep up the good work and helping over a million subs learn the trade. Hopefully I bump into you some day and get to shake your hand, I'm in that area a lot on the way to Grants Pass.
There are some questionable shortcuts taken, I can see how some might not appreciate that. It's good work, but it could be done more meticulously, and thoroughly.
The best part about your channel is you stick to the craft - no obnoxious product endorsements, begging for subscribers, rants, etc. Just showing a job well done. Keep up the excellent work!
oh man i like this guy ..hanging lid is fun ! i could do t and g all day long . early 1900s style .common frank loyd wright style ..timeless and feel of solid
Your columns look real good. I've been hoping to see this video for a long time, I got excited when I saw your video putting in the concrete block work around the base of the column and now this bevelled tapered wrap around finish. I think you captured the craftsman style very well. Thanks we're all your videos.
I work on engines but I would love to have carpentry skills like this. There’s just something so impressive and satisfying to shape wood into something so beautiful. 👍
No adhesive on the tapered columns boys?! I know you said glue was unnecessary but I think with those pacific climates eventually those joints are gonna open
I would have gone with a 2x2 screwed to each corner for rigidity and something for the nails to grab onto. Plywood kinda sucks for holding power on its edge. I also would have reinforced the fronts of each around midway up for the possibility of flagpoles being installed on them.
@@RRaucina it'll be painted and it's barely exposed to any real weather. I think it will last more than a few years. But it's possible some warping or gaps opening up will happen inside of ten years
If you had glued those with non foaming construction adhesive, they might not open up ! I don’t even know if those boards will stay laminated in your local climate.
Really Nice Sir! I have been contemplating some tapered columns for my neighbor. He has helped me with many projects around my house over the 25 years we've been neighbors 😃 Be nice to surprise he and his wife with these (they are going camping for two weeks) Thank You for the excellent video!
Just subscribed. You're a wealth of knowledge and I'm lucky enough to be 35 and notice the details of how you approach each step in your build process. The fine details if you will. I've seen a few of your videos and the content is paced well, narrated clearly and very well shot. I appreciate your time and efforts and look forward to viewing your previous and future content
Congratulations on hitting 1M subscribers! Great video! I've got a couple of columns on my house that are built similarly and are in need of being replaced. I'll be referencing this video for sure!
Man! What work you do, I have watched this whole series in the last few days and I am blown away...Amazing stuff! Oh, hate to be that guy but the Tapcon's anchoring the column mounts were 1/4" size Screw's...Which requires one size down drill bit which is a 3/16 drill bit....They are not 3/16" Tapcon's....Boy, do I love those things! As an electrician who prefers them over Rawl plugs, Sleeve anchors, etc...I notice a lot of people do NOT know how to install them and end up impacting the screw in half! LOL
You’ve got a million people who love you as a person and are interested in your well being!!!
Respect to these men . Still got it. I like how he narrates with patience. I Like to grow up to this expectations not grumpy all the time
After Kens video was posted all I see is a Legend sitting in that chair now. 100% Master Craftsman. God Bless
Finally. A builder that allows stuff like this to happen... I prefinish mine 1 coat as well and prime all the way around to seal it better. As for nail holes... We skim putty those
Not a mention of a million subscribers! That's huge.
If any channel deserves a huge following, I’d say this one does. Kind of restores my faith in humanity if I’m to be honest. Scott is leaving invaluable information for endless generations to soak in.
I really can’t get enough of his narration, never patronizing; always clear and concise!
It really is a special milestone. I’ve been eagerly anticipating it.
That’s because he doesn’t care. He’s not here for the modern gimmick of views. He’s here to share knowledge and expertise
hear, hear!!! congrats lads on the 1 million subs! well deserved... I've been onboard myself since the ladder safety video way back
That's what she said
I really hope that who buys this home will appreciate how much you put into building it
Nice to see your friend helping you out with the front porch columns👍
And nodding off on camera at the very end! 😆
Track saw and tappered columns are a match made in heaven.
Once again helping the next generation to be better than we were yesterday. Thank you
I have such a warm feeling when watching this series. Mahalo, and Aloha,
Matt

Craftsman? Yes
Essential? Yes
Great work sir.
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
If you don't know how to do it right, keep doing it better until you get it right.
You are an inspiration!
Man, I love craftsman style. Bold, brawn and clean.
Over a MILLION subscribers! Congratulations Scott!
Your craftsmanship never disappoints!!!! Thanks for sharing your skills & knowledge!!
This man is easily the most knowledgeable carpenter, among almost everything else when it comes to building trades I've come across.
I pick up so many good tips just by watching you work. Things you don't even mention, but are real helpful.
Some people might not appreciate the planning, skill and experience that goes into this level of quality. I probably don't even pully appreciate it to the full level. But its great seeing you guys take such pride and care in the quality, appearance and function of your work. (from an experienced but still novice finish carpenter)
Always thoroughly enjoy these videos. Well done.
Essential craftsmen videos are so informative,, highly technical..But very informative..
Thanks for doing the columns right! Too many of these homes are using plastic columns these days.
Thanks guys.
Be Blessed !
As a rough carpenter this video is great thank you !
Wow. Talk about craftsmenship! The thought, the dedication, the skill, the mental focus on creating those columns! Heck, the entire house!

This house and this series is his greatest creation
Amazing workmanship as always!
great work is contagious beautiful job Scott
This series is just epic.
0:00 aaaah yes, the music i came for
0:10 AAAAAH YEEES, the voice I need in my life
Keep up all of this good work. Couldnt love the show more.
The way you accomp;ish these tasks is noy just interesting, it's 'enchanting'! I derive great joy in observing your "Good Work!" Much obliged, Scott.
I've been super busy and missed allot of episodes..... I need to do a little binge watching and get caught up. Thanks for putting these videos together!
Really looking forward to seeing your color choices for all materials and trims.
You Sir are my Bob Vila, and I honestly can't think of a finer compliment for such a craftsman.
Great Comment I concur

I am still learning from my watching your videos. Thanks! And you keep up the good work.
Nice! I love the blocks you use to help install the ceiling lid! Learn something new everyday!!🙌
Hello from Northern Michigan and thanks for another great upload!
I could watch and listen to you all day. Top class, thanks a lot.
Always wanted to build tapered columns, seems much easier after watching, thanks for the video

A true seasoned carpenter! I love the shop table saw you brought in for your rips

Congrats on the 1 Million Subscribers! Not only do you do great building but you build a great channel!
You did an amazing job on those column wraps. The curve, with a bevel, would take serious precision to look good. Well done my friend.
I have applied most if not all of it teaching to my building thanks you for sharing
I am constantly impressed by the thought and detail explained in your videos, Keep up the Good Work!
Congrats on the milestone of a million subs.
Something about your videos are relaxing!

I really appreciate the work that went into the tapered columns.
Those columns look nice. I wasn’t sure at first, but you’ve converted me. Nice to see Ken there too. 👍🏼👍🏼😀
Thank you so much for your videos, ive watched them all. CONGRATULATIONS on the 1 million subscribers, love from

This man sanded outdoor porch panels just giving it that extra detail , MAVERICK !

Fantastic work and video! I don't know how anyone can give this a thumbs down.
There are some questionable shortcuts taken, I can see how some might not appreciate that. It's good work, but it could be done more meticulously, and thoroughly.
@@OzrikKnob tomatoes tomatoes, if it looks good it is good Karen.
@@jonathanharris969 Oh how wrong you are.
I couldn’t agree more!
@@OzrikKnob what was questionable grasshopper?
Thank you for passing on your knowledge.
My shoulders are burning just watching this.

Every time I watch this guy he amazing carpenter I could imagine how hard of a worker back in the day he still very knowledgeable and steady
Amazing work.
oh man i like this guy ..hanging lid is fun ! i could do t and g all day long . early 1900s style .common frank loyd wright style ..timeless and feel of solid
Not sure if I'd agree with no glue but absolutely brilliant content as usual
Thanks
Keep up the great work mate
Great episode!
That took a ton of thought and energy to pull off nicely, great job!!!
Nicely finished😎
You had... RAAAAAIN! Boy, haven't seen that in ages!

Lose all the wrap and use a bigger column - sand and stain the REAL wood. This crap will fall apart in a few years.
@@RRaucina it'll be painted and it's barely exposed to any real weather. I think it will last more than a few years. But it's possible some warping or gaps opening up will happen inside of ten years
I agree I think it should've been glued.

1000000!!! Good job making it in the modern age. 👍
Here’s a guy that is a wealth of knowledge and is just doing what he loves.
Beautiful hard work
This is next level

Wow looks great! I’ve got to do some tapered mitered columns and this was very helpful thank you and great work.
Think you just saved the day for us! We where looking to do something very similar, but I couldn't pin down which route I wanted to take. Thanks!
You guys need to add this episode to the Spec House playlist.

Great work your a awesome guy
Here in BC Canada we use Crezone or MDO for column collars, its also pre primed or back painted before install. Great Channel man.
You keep up the great work!!
Marvelous craftsmanship!!!
Got to love the oregon rain
Don’t know why I enjoy seeing Ken, smoking his pipe and looking so relaxed, so much, but i do.
Really enjoyed this video. Keep it up and I look forward to future videos.
Stellar looking work Scott, you are definitely a credit to our craft. Thanks for sharing take care.
Beautiful job, thats an azing looking house.
Enjoy your videos
