Shane, probably another tip to use is when you srrew any coach screw into timber and bolts going in through timber, put some grease on them as it will stop the sap from reacting with the metal and rusting. This is regardless if it has galvanising coat on it. As a Liney, we do it and I have pulled bolts out of poles that have been in there for only a short time, about 12 months, and rust has formed eating the gal away. Also, the grease makes it easier to screw the coachscrews in and remember to wipe the excess squeezed out grease off.Keep up with the Feral look, suits ya 😀
+rosscoesmiff Yeah l actually did that that Rosscoe. I spent a bit of time back the young days building pole houses on the side of hills and my boss was always going on about greasing up the bolts. It's a good practice which l've continued on with today. I should have mentioned it but l just forgot. We ferals have to stick together Rosscoe :-) Cheers mate
Shane, a stressful house move a few years ago saw me refuse to shave until we were done and dusted. Much to my wife's annoyance there were multiple delays. By the time we moved I looked like the love child of Merv Hughes and Grizzly Adams! When the soup strainer went we had a cutting ceremony. I still miss it to this day! Grow, grow, grow my friend. A man isn't a man until he's had at least one good beard!
+Youplate.co.uk Hahahahha…what a classic! Now that is one hell of a combo my friend…The great Merv Hughes and Grizzly Adams…..l wish l had seen that beautie! Mervs soup strainer is still an Australia landmark :-) Cheers mate
Love the perfection Shane. Especially at the end when the camera view panned across to showed all posts 10000% plumb. My OCD jollies were in full flight :-) Great episode mate.
So many people do not protect the cut ends of their project. GREAT tip Uncle "Hippie" Knackers. Who has time to go to the beauty parlor when you are in the midst of such an important project. Let it grow.
Great job Shane, spot on in line, you can't beat that. As for the hair keep growing it and then when your all done, off with his head ( I mean hair ) ha ha.Take Care.Barry from England.
Never seen those post supports before - neato! As for the Wild Man look - go for it. As an old greybeard I find it unfair how much black and brown is in your beard, not how much grey...see? it all depends on your viewpoint. Enjoy the colour while it's there my friend! Another neat movie Shane, thanks Mate.
You're a fine chippy, Shane, those posts were tip top! Shame I haven't seen em that good on the subdivisions round here haha. As for the beard and hair, I say let em grow. Just like the old boys used to do with footy season (which ends in a week btw, I predict an Eagles victory!) it's good luck to keep it growing till the end of the season/project. Cheers mate :D
+Chris Versteegen Thanks Chris. Unfortunately my boys (North) were cleaned up by the Eagles last night. I thought we had a really chance after the 1st quarter. Spewin' I think the hawks will win. Should be a top game! Cheers mate
+Martijn van Tooren Thanks Martijn. Yeah l'm still enjoying it. The work load is pretty intense (mainly because l'm doing most of it myself) but the excitement is still there. This video is about 3 weeks behind of where l'm actually at so there are a lot of changes to come. Make sure you stay tuned. Cheers mate
+Mark's Gourmet Workshop Thanks Mark. Glad you like the vids mate. I hope you can stick around for the rest of the series. Cheers. PS. Give my regards to the good folk of Tassie.
Another bit of brilliance there uncle knackers, cheers for the tip mate. As for the hair and beard conundrum, l recon you should let it go for a bit Shane, i just cleaned myself up about a week ago, had a bit of a Ned Kelly look there for a while, which is a good thing in winter, but summers on it's way. Oh, how's the knee situation going, had any luck finding relief ? Cheers Shane, thanks for the share mate, cop ya ron.
+James Blanton Thanks James. I don't think l'm capable of a Ned Kelly Version. I'll give it a crack though. The knee was on the mend until today when l did some flooring. Stirred the bugger up again! Oh well..more frozen peas :-) Cheers mate
Great vid mate, I was watching in the halftime of the All Blacks v Namibia, you don't mind popping over to the UK and giving me a hand with my roof mate? just as bloody wet here too. until the next one
I recently watched the rustic timber projects playlist again. I'm curious about how you made the circular saw cuts so straight without a guide. Was that just experience at work? Can't wait for the tour of the finished expansion. Be safe and have fun..
Great tips! By pouring the concrete in afterwards, how can you ensure that it adequately makes it's way under the post support? Or is the concrete strength on the sides of the support?
+Zukini28 G'day Zukini. Once the concrete is poured, just get your shovel and vigourously prod the concrete around the hole and under the post stirrup so that the concrete fills up any air pockets. It works well. Cheers
Thanks Knackers. Thoroughly enjoying your OB series. Just about to embark on a similar build myself. Why did you decide to hang the beams on acro props first, then erect the posts second? My slab is already down, so I have to use screw in post anchors. I had planned to notch out the posts, set them in place, plumb, brace off, then mount the beams onto the posts. Any issue with doing it this way?
Cheers mate! Glad you're enjoying the series 👍😁 When you hang the beams off acro's it makes setting up the posts so much easier. Just hang them off the beam that's in the right position and then plumb the post....attach the post bracket and then bolt the bracket to the slab 👍
Hey Shane, Nice, got some primer on that end grain and the raw wood. Way to go. As far as the hair and the beard go, as long as the Mrs. likes it , that's all that matters. Those complaining are probably bald and can't grow a good beard , heh! good job.
yes and no.. Anyways whatever your comfortable with is all that matters very neat work. Although I have to say these new drills they make have speed control, and I think impact drivers are very good because you can feel when the bolt gets tight.
When lifting the post up into position (4:50) does the post HAVE to reach the top of the beam or is their a maximum allowed distance for the post to sit lower than the top of the beam?
G'day Troy. It doesn't have to mate but if you can l would do it. The more post you have on the beam, the more stable it is in regard to twisting, Good luck 👍😁🇦🇺
+Yung Tyrone G'day Yung…..l shot it but l don't think l'm going to upload it. The quality of the audio was pretty bad…..to much background wind noise. If l can fix it l'll upload it. Cheers mate
Great job thinking ahead on the painting the bottom of those posts, Shane. Let that hair grow.
+Steve Collins Thanks Steve. I'm predicting full blown hippie by xmas :-)

Sick broo
Cheers 👍👍
Great hair, keep it going :-]
+SAM CHAN Will do Sam :-)
thats excellent love this sort of work. But why did you bother with the ratchet on the coach screws.. should've just used the cordless
Thanks Adrian. I like using a ratchet because l have more control. There's less chance of over tightening
yes and no.. Anyways whatever your comfortable with is all that matters very neat work.
Although I have to say these new drills they make have speed control, and I think impact drivers are very good because you can feel when the bolt gets tight.
adrian valentino l think l'm just a bit old school mate 👍

I rather like the 'tousled' look..... The grey beard makes you look quite wise.... ah.. but don't they say looks can be deceiving?
grow it while you've got it I say haha
+ANGRY_YORKSHIREMAN My sentiments exactly :-)
When you are working the hair and beard aren't a concern, unless its a safety issue!
well I am someone with a 4 inch beard so I have no room to talk, other than let it grow. hehehe
keep the hair, my friend!
I would say your sporting the Beach Bum look.. Keep it that way and your will fit in with the locals! just sayin!
+Kim Shirley I'll be a local in no time Kim….give it another month or two :-) Cheers
You da man Shane! Lol!
working late?
+terryyouth Yep…as per usual :-)
superb not even a baws hair out an official unit of measurement around here...
+ryzo mcgregor I like that….a baws hair lol. Cheers Ryzo and thanks for watching.
If we were meant to cut off our beards, we wouldn't be able to grow one in the first place.
