@@FinishCarpentryTV in my eyes your already up there. I’m striving to learn what you know and to be able to take on more tasks and have them come out top notch. I struggle with accuracy from tape to cut. I’m just starting to get better at miters.
I work in the technology industry where we teach engineers that collaboration is the fastest possible way to learn and improve. You have just provided a "real world" example of learning through collaboration and the power of online communities. Hats off to you and John for being willing to experiment, learn, and share your learning with the community you have built. I'm in the middle of a DIY wainscot project that was inspired by your wainscot series. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills! When we are on the other side of this pandemic, would love for you and John to come out here to McKinney and see what was accomplished watching your videos. We can grab some Hutchins BBQ to make the trip worth your while. Keep it up! You rock! And I would buy a hoodie.
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I'm a homeowner and I've been watching all your videos. I've just finished two projects - new dining room flooring and trim, and a 'tiny house' or pandemic office. All the finish techniques I've learned from you - especially using pocket holes and/or CA glue to join window trim and baseboards into seamless pieces before nailing into place. Using DAP DryDex to fill nail holes and to help in making long baseboards seamless also works great!
Best thing about carpentry trades is that we are all constantly learning. That’s why we watch. Great community here and am great full for it as I am sure most of you are. Thanks From 🇦🇺
I have a 9-5 job and watching your videos makes me want to quit and do something else. There’s just something satisfying watching tradesmen work and seeing these creations. I may not ever do anything professional like yourself, but us diy Gus can still learn a tremendous amount. Hanks for all your videos!
I think its awesome that people share their knowledge here. Im a general contractor myself I do a wide array of things and always keep an open mind even though I have pretty good knowledge how things work. It doesn't matter how much you know or think you know there is always someone out there that knows how to do it better easier and faster. Ceiling looks great! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I love that you listen to people and try new things instead of being stubborn. I'm also very glad that you have learned a lot. UA-cam is an amazing thing for people to learn and share information. It's great how you show the details of things and closeups so we can see what you are doing. That really does help. You'll never find my fat uncoordinated behind on a ladder that tall, but I can at least watch & wish that I could do that. LOL. I'd never heard of the Windsor trim before.
Richard, you are a very happy part of my waking up. I learn and laugh and am inspired all together. I admire your openness that you have much to learn while at the same time your humble attitude make your teaching so easy to soak up. Thank you Richard. You brighten my days. I am a full time all round handyman. Blessings to you
I also want to give a shout out to you wife who I suppose is usually the one doing the filming. The view of your work is made easy by her skill. Mrs McMurry, Thank you very much
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You have helped me transform my house into something of beauty with trim. I started with your video where you trimmed out a drywall open doorway. You built it partly outside and installed it in the opening. I can do that and I did. I ended up doing 4 door openings. I get a lot of comments on the chamfer on the stiles that end 6 inches from the top and bottom. That small detail I copied from you. You get the credit for giving me the ideas and steps. Because of your videos and your instruction. I split my living/dinning room with trim. I did wainscoting in the dining room area. I ended the wainscoting with columns. On the living room side of the columns I put chair rail. Of course it goes without saying that every room has 5 inch crown molding. In the hall walkway I put up crown molding 6 inches below the ceiling. I lined inside the crown with LED lights that project up and out of the crown for a stunning effect. Not bad for a desk jockey. Keep up the great videos, I’m always learning.
Love your channel. I just looked up Windsor One because of your previous video. Can't believe they had the exact cap molding I've been looking for my 104 yr old Craftsman home. Some idiot removed moldings to paint the walls and never replaced them. I like that ship lap, too. Learning so much here. Thanks!
Nice job guys. The last time that I did a ceiling like this I nailed it ( paslode cordless) but I also put construction adhesive as well. Worked great. My boards were pre-finished as well.
It takes a big humble person to admit they are wrong about how they have been doing something and publicly admit to learning from others. This is most likely why you are so blessed with good jobs, a great family, lots of support and always learning as well as teaching us all, God bless.
I know nothing about carpentry just trying to get a house ready to sell on a budget. I learned enough to wainscot my front entry. Now I have some doors to trim out. Thanks for the demonstrations...every but helps. Oh you are an excellent teacher.
Searched vids on home improvement well over a year ago- those projects are all done, but every week I still watch your vids💪😁 great channel, thanks🙏🇺🇸💪
Richard, one of the greatest lessons I was taught was to never become the master of your discipline but to always be a student of the discipline. There are two types of people in every discipline: those stagnating and those progressing. You definitely have an open mind set. Hey hoodie me up!!!
props bro....youre a real human!! im a union carpenter in Chicago that needs tons of learning still. I love watching you! Teach on bro. its one of your gifts. you're helping a lot of us! Love
Like seeing kid's do trim carpentry I started at 18 doing free standing staircases I'm 50 now and still lovingly my job building custom built ins right now
Lessons in humility and taking ownership of being wrong about something. You're a professional with high integrity, and that gives you leadership credentials in this industry. Thanks for the awesome videos where I learn a lot.
That's pretty impressive that the builder gave ahang about the boards being primed on both sides. Most and I mean most builders, carpenters and a ton of painters doing new construction don't prime anything. This year alone I resided two houses and not a single cedar board was primed and the houses just peeled like skin cancer. The last house when we took off the coach lights we saw the entire house was put up with raw pine and cedar and sprayed without primer and they masked the lights off. I don't know how some people sleep at night when they do crap work like that.
I’m loving the Franklin stud finder you recommend. And yes, I’d sport the hoodie all day long. And I’d buy another Dewaukee shirt if it had a breast pocket. I started wearing carhart shirts and find the pocket remarkably useful.
I have the older blue one and I never trust what it shows. I've tested it in a spot where I know, without a doubt, there is a stud and it seems to be at least 1/2 a width off. So, about 3/4". I've been using it to locate metal studs and it doesn't seem to like that idea. Is the newer yellow one better?
Vic Terraglia I have issues with mine every once in awhile where it’ll show like 6 leds’s wide of something, but they bounce around and aren’t showing a solid location. So I’ll just start over and it’s dead on. I’ve never missed a stud marking on the center of the 3 shown.
I’ve had issues where the right half would light up and stay lit but a battery change always cured it...even just taking the batteries out and back in usually resets it.
hey man ..i live in fort worth and watch your videos all the time ... its cool to see somebody be so humble and succeed while doing top notch work ..quality above everything ...definately get one of those hoodies ...maybe a finish carpentry dfw on the front too ? keep it man ..both of you guys are great to watch
I recommend you try using a laser measuring tool instead of the tape in situations like this. They are accurate to a 1/16th of an inch which is within tolerances when your measuring wall to wall. It is also much easier than holding a tape upside down above your head and it’s easier and faster when you’re working alone. Also very useful on baseboards when coping.
It’s very refreshing to see a humble professional trying to help others. Craftsmanship is a lost art these days. I hope this crew gets paid what they are worth. Great channel
I am up for a couple hoodies. Just started watching your channel and you are a pleasure to watch. As someone in the remodeling industry and who had to be self taught, I am always looking for another way, a better way. Keep it going
It's always good when you have an open mind to learn more things and tricks. Being humble helps a lot in this process and keeps you moving. Don't forget: each kick in the "back" it's a step forward! We grow together.
My wife and I are in the process of building a custom home and I value your opinions and suggestions so much. You have convinced us, it wasn’t hard either, of using Windsor One on our home. Thank you for all you do and your amazing work. Wish you lived in AZ.
@@FinishCarpentryTV you have given us so many ideas of what we want to do. Just don’t have the budget to do them all but they will be on a lengthy list to complete after the home is built over time.
I’d definitely buy a Dewaukee hoodie. Love the content and channel. I didn’t grow up learning about any of this or have any formal training but the amount of work I’ve done around the house because of this channel is amazing. I’ve learned so much so keep the content coming!
I've been shooting 2 nails on each stud with the dewalt 16 ga nailer whenever installing T/G boards. It's not as aggressive as a 15 ga and it's not as weak as the 18 ga. It gives me the peace of mind that the boards are well secured in place and doesn't break the tongue.
Milwaukee makes a 23ga, 16ga, 15ga and the best 30° framing nailer around too. Also I just learned the other daythat you can buy correlated screws for a 21° framing nailer and use them and it will shoot the screws into the woods and then you can turn around and pull the screws out the drill or an impact if for any reason you didn't want to use ringnecks that way you could preserve the woods should you ever have to remove the material since renext would destroy whatever material you're trying to pull them out of in most cases.
Your work is amazing brother. I've actually learned from you alot. I've been finish carpenter for 18 yrs and I have to admit watching your videos is great advice. Looking forward for them hoodies
I'm pretty confident that you're teaching far more people than the reverse. The fact that you think otherwise is what makes this channel so unique! I look forward to your getting a million subscriber.
My respect brother. So many guy's now a days want to act like they know everything and definitely don't want to admit when they are wrong. And you weren't wrong..there is many ways to skin a cat but as a devoted fan's we should be offering advice to you and anyone else that's needs it. You got the other ceiling done and after watching hundreds of your videos I'm sure it's gonna be gorgeous after it's painted. But by blinding nailing you are gonna end up with the same finished look when its all said and done and save a boatload of time from skipping filling and sanding holes. And the beautiful part about the content you provide us with we all get to pickup after tips and tricks from each other. Just like you said you have learned some cool things along the way. I been doing trim work for probably 25+ yrs now but I would never be naive to think my way is the best way and I don't care how anyone else does it. And if someone is trying to offer advice it is always worth a listen..I don't care if the guy been on the job for 1 day or 40yrs. I always tell the younger guys coming up to speak their minds. For 1 it gets their wheels turning to help them fully understand what's happening, why it's happening, how to correct it if they run into problems and they might see something that I been flying by for years. Sorry for the long comment but just wanted everyone know it's ok to slow down and listen bc you never know how fast it can speed you up. Thank you again for all the work you put into your channel and thank you for letting me tag along. God bless you guy's and your families and can't wait to see what's next.
An Irish Carpenter here, I'm only in from work, my body is still aching and I settle down to watch this. There has to be something seriously wrong with me.
I come home sore every day, but then I look back at the videos and comments from all my followers of my work on Facebook and I smile. It’s worth every bit if the pain I have to endure to see the awesome reviews I get. Richard here has got to go home proud a sore every day. He has a lot to be proud of.
Dude, if I could post a picture here of the few projects I took on here, to show how much inspiration you give I would. You are an amazing teacher, and great Trim finisher. Thank you. I also asked my wife for a Milwaukee nailer lol. Hoodie for me or Tshirt, I want a shirt hope it ships to Canada.
Amazing work brother! I’m pretty new to the trade and I definitely apply most of your suggestions and tips to what I do and it has been working great for me. I really wanna thank you for taking the time to explain and show the different techniques. You’re pretty damn awesome. Keep up the great work and keep those tips coming. Take care, be safe and see you on the next video. 👍🏼
Great work. Keep it up. Maybe some parallel control lines as you install upwards to make sure you have even reveals with the ridge or last board. Don’t want to have a uneven rip at the top!
When I install t& I just mark the center of the lighting fixture and come back after installation with my trim router and cut the hole out with a flush bit. Definitely cuts down on climbing up and down the ladder cutting each individual piece with a jigsaw. I recently started blind nailing t&g myself. Cut down a ton on finish clean up and filling holes!
I was just saying to my wife how much I like this channel because you are so humble. Then this is the next video I see. Humble AF. You're a good human, brother.
I just picked up Milwaukee’s 1/4 cordless stapler to put up some exterior B&B and I was very impressed with the holding power of the fasteners (into cedar no less). I’m going to use this on my next T&G project. Might be an even better solution than what you just used.
Duuuude... I had to grab my phone... as I'm watching you and your guy on the TV. 🤣🤣. I really enjoy watching your channel and seeing you make mistakes as well.🤭🤭 but you see it and correct them and that's what matters. Great job on those T&G and those blind nails 😌. Looks really awesome. And then explaining things... just ... brother.. YOUR WORK IS ALWAYS ON POINT.👌
The fact that you're such humble person and recognize the mistake when you make one, it says it all, you only gonna get better, thanks for sharing your videos l enjoyed very much , keep the good work!
You can lay it out first and see but whenever I get to the top close to the ridge, I scribe my pieces in and make them tight. You can hardly see it from the ground even if it looked bad up close.
Long time builder in Ontario... it ruins your day when a trimmer uses too many nails and it takes forever to remove... in the same breath this is over head and there also blind nails... never be shy with the nail gun... great channel and work 👍
First yes on hoodies and you never stop learning I started watching you I thought I knew a lot but wow I've learned so much watching channels like yours and even reading comments
Put up tons of T&G on ceilings and have always used 18gauge nails blind nailed with construction adhesive. I have never had any issues! 👍keep up the good work and love the videos!
I just got done installing 7 1/2" wide (8' long) prefinished Pine T&G on a vaulted ceiling just like this. The builder wanted it as tight as possible, as there would be no caulking touch-up. We glued every piece (liquid nails) and blind nailed it with an 18 Ga. Most of the boards weren't perfectly straight, and needed a lot of pressured to get the T&G tight, 7 1/2" doesn't bend easily. When we needed to really crank on a board, we screwed a 3/4" thick block to the truss, just above the tongue, then drove shims (split in half lengthwise) until it was tight. Then, used a T-10 finish screw, instead of the 18 Ga nail, and blind screwed it. We had to this on 80% of the boards, took a long time, but it has stayed very tight. I live in a part of the country were we don't much varying of relative humidity, so I'm not concerned at all that they'll expand and buckle. Richard, would you mind doing a short video on those badass Diamondbacks. I've been wearing my set for 8 years, back when they were being sewn in Alaska. Very comfortable, the hammer holster and velcro belt system are ingenious. Unlike leather, they don't take 5 years to break in. Keep up the good work!
Hey when that older model dewalt jigsaw goes I would definitely recommend to get the newer brushless model. I switched over and they corrected all the things from the old model, that I wished they would. I.e. blade release lever sticking, handle lower to shoe, brushless motor so longer battery life, etc. btw very humble carpenter/UA-camr. Been watching you since the beginning!
I love how you pay attention to the little details. Your workmanship and craftsmanship is almost a lost trait anymore in the trades. Anymore people are quick to nail things up and then try to hide their lack of skill with caulk and paint.
Was just looking on your website 3 days ago for more DeWaukee shirts. Definitely want some! A buddy of mine and I are big battlers over the two brands (me DeWalt and him Milwaukee) but honestly I just like good tools for the right price that get the job done. So i own some of both. The shirt and hoodies would be icing on the cake! Blue Black or a Gray :) preferably in big boy sizes (xl-3xl) Keep doing what your doing and thanks for the videos!!
I’ve put up thousands of feet of this stuff. 18 gauge should be fine. 16 gauge would be safer lol. I’d also recommend using a small piece of scrap as a knocking block. That way you always preserve the tongue and don’t risk damaging when you hit it with a hammer.
Great piece of advice. I find that we always learn more from our failures than we do our successes. It's even better to learn from other people's failures. Stay safe out there and keep learning.
Richard I have learned everything I know about trim from you....you rock!!...I would also like a Hoodie and a shirt. Thanks for sharing your knowledge..
Richard & John, nice looking work. I would like to see how the left side, ties into the right side along the ridge line. TWO HOODIES XL, zippered front option in black please. Have you thought about doing DFW CROWN stickers?
Ya I'm with ya there bro, I've learned so much through doing things over the years, as well as my network of friends and fellow tradesmen, and you've definitely given me a new perspective on a couple things, and absolutely 💯 cost me a few bucks in tools I never knew about before!! 😅 but I tell ya even when you think you've got everything... nope! There's more where that came from! Keep up the good content and putting out the word on new tools as you acquire them, as I'll most likely be pausing the video to hit up my Amazon account! 😅👌
I would buy & wear the hoodies... I’ve bought 2 of your DeWawkee t-shirts & been wearing at the shop... People are always asking were I got... So mention your UA-cam channel.... Never miss you videos; I learn a lot that I now use at the shop... thanks...
real recognize real...that builder knows you have integrity in your work and do what’s best, no substitute for that, some people still believe in good work ethic and value that
I like it ,,I just made a flip top work bench has my miter saw on one side and my planer on the other I love it it freed up so much space and got my tools off the floor ,,were I wouldn't have to pick them up and set them on my work bench your so right days like you just had are so rewarding makes you happy and makes you a better craftsman hope you enjoy many many hours and jobs on your new tool,,
Hey Richard, going back and catching up on some "older" videos. These tongue and groove boards, they could be used in a porch? Does Windsor 1 have stain grade? We have white vinyl ceiling panels (yuck) and we could go with white boards, or maybe stained the color of our front door, depending on what the wife wants. I'm hearing they could go out there, based on your comment near the end of the video (the builder asking you to add another job). Just making sure I understood correctly. Thx
I love your channel ,I love your work most of all love your humility. A flooring hammer is nice but ever since I bought a $10 2 1/2 lbs dead blow hammer from Harbor freight maybe 15 years ago and started using it for flooring and T&G Iv never gone back it has plenty of weight to set your board and “most” hits won’t Damage the wood.
A great question most don't consider. My approach would be to split the difference between the first and last board. So you'd have two partial width boards. One at the start of the run and another at the end. Of course this only works if you were careful enough to measure before you start. Same priciple applies to flooring as well.
Carful planning is how that’s done. One good question to always ask yourself in anything to do with finish carpentry let it be walls ceilings tile flooring siding. “ am I going to get a stupid little piece” and if so try to figure out how to avoid it.
Glad to see you blind nailing. If nailing to drywall & framing , with concern that it will not hold. Add some basic construction adhesive dots to the backside every 16" or so. Can use a 16Ga. nailer that will take 2.5" brads > definitely reaching the backing . Again, if needed double nail each stud / rafter location. Looking good & have fun with the project. Ya! John needs a tooled pouch while helping out & up on a ladder!!
This dude is a good guy. You can tell he has a strong character and integrity!

Looks can be deceiving mate, this fella flew all the way to Australia just to kick my dog and insult my grandmother.

@@FinishCarpentryTV you have given us so many ideas of what we want to do. Just don’t have the budget to do them all but they will be on a lengthy list to complete after the home is built over time.
I’d definitely buy a Dewaukee hoodie. Love the content and channel. I didn’t grow up learning about any of this or have any formal training but the amount of work I’ve done around the house because of this channel is amazing. I’ve learned so much so keep the content coming!
I've been shooting 2 nails on each stud with the dewalt 16 ga nailer whenever installing T/G boards. It's not as aggressive as a 15 ga and it's not as weak as the 18 ga. It gives me the peace of mind that the boards are well secured in place and doesn't break the tongue.
Milwaukee makes a 23ga, 16ga, 15ga and the best 30° framing nailer around too. Also I just learned the other daythat you can buy correlated screws for a 21° framing nailer and use them and it will shoot the screws into the woods and then you can turn around and pull the screws out the drill or an impact if for any reason you didn't want to use ringnecks that way you could preserve the woods should you ever have to remove the material since renext would destroy whatever material you're trying to pull them out of in most cases.
I’ve done a lot of T&G pine, and what your doing is just fine. You will not have any problems. Thx for the videos and your thoughts...
Your work is amazing brother. I've actually learned from you alot. I've been finish carpenter for 18 yrs and I have to admit watching your videos is great advice. Looking forward for them hoodies
I'm pretty confident that you're teaching far more people than the reverse. The fact that you think otherwise is what makes this channel so unique! I look forward to your getting a million subscriber.
My respect brother. So many guy's now a days want to act like they know everything and definitely don't want to admit when they are wrong. And you weren't wrong..there is many ways to skin a cat but as a devoted fan's we should be offering advice to you and anyone else that's needs it. You got the other ceiling done and after watching hundreds of your videos I'm sure it's gonna be gorgeous after it's painted. But by blinding nailing you are gonna end up with the same finished look when its all said and done and save a boatload of time from skipping filling and sanding holes. And the beautiful part about the content you provide us with we all get to pickup after tips and tricks from each other. Just like you said you have learned some cool things along the way. I been doing trim work for probably 25+ yrs now but I would never be naive to think my way is the best way and I don't care how anyone else does it. And if someone is trying to offer advice it is always worth a listen..I don't care if the guy been on the job for 1 day or 40yrs. I always tell the younger guys coming up to speak their minds. For 1 it gets their wheels turning to help them fully understand what's happening, why it's happening, how to correct it if they run into problems and they might see something that I been flying by for years. Sorry for the long comment but just wanted everyone know it's ok to slow down and listen bc you never know how fast it can speed you up. Thank you again for all the work you put into your channel and thank you for letting me tag along. God bless you guy's and your families and can't wait to see what's next.
I'm glad to see you are covering that red caulk line because I learned a long time ago that it is permanent. Sweet job on the ceiling. 😎
An Irish Carpenter here, I'm only in from work, my body is still aching and I settle down to watch this. There has to be something seriously wrong with me.
Well, you’re Irish and our self-worth is directly correlated to how much suffering we endure. 🤣
Not a thing wrong with aching from an honest living.
I come home sore every day, but then I look back at the videos and comments from all my followers of my work on Facebook and I smile. It’s worth every bit if the pain I have to endure to see the awesome reviews I get. Richard here has got to go home proud a sore every day. He has a lot to be proud of.
There is!
@@mattberg916 apart from the aching
Dude, if I could post a picture here of the few projects I took on here, to show how much inspiration you give I would. You are an amazing teacher, and great Trim finisher. Thank you. I also asked my wife for a Milwaukee nailer lol. Hoodie for me or Tshirt, I want a shirt hope it ships to Canada.
Your channel has helped me get my business up and off the ground. Much thanks. And I would definitely buy a hoodie
Really loving the music! So different than normal, but great.
Amazing work brother! I’m pretty new to the trade and I definitely apply most of your suggestions and tips to what I do and it has been working great for me. I really wanna thank you for taking the time to explain and show the different techniques. You’re pretty damn awesome. Keep up the great work and keep those tips coming. Take care, be safe and see you on the next video. 👍🏼
Great work. Keep it up. Maybe some parallel control lines as you install upwards to make sure you have even reveals with the ridge or last board. Don’t want to have a uneven rip at the top!
When I install t& I just mark the center of the lighting fixture and come back after installation with my trim router and cut the hole out with a flush bit. Definitely cuts down on climbing up and down the ladder cutting each individual piece with a jigsaw. I recently started blind nailing t&g myself. Cut down a ton on finish clean up and filling holes!
I was just saying to my wife how much I like this channel because you are so humble. Then this is the next video I see. Humble AF. You're a good human, brother.
I just picked up Milwaukee’s 1/4 cordless stapler to put up some exterior B&B and I was very impressed with the holding power of the fasteners (into cedar no less). I’m going to use this on my next T&G project. Might be an even better solution than what you just used.
We always blind nail install t&g with 1/4” stapler. Best holding power for sure.
Duuuude... I had to grab my phone... as I'm watching you and your guy on the TV. 🤣🤣. I really enjoy watching your channel and seeing you make mistakes as well.🤭🤭 but you see it and correct them and that's what matters. Great job on those T&G and those blind nails 😌. Looks really awesome. And then explaining things... just ... brother.. YOUR WORK IS ALWAYS ON POINT.👌
The fact that you're such humble person and recognize the mistake when you make one, it says it all, you only gonna get better, thanks for sharing your videos l enjoyed very much , keep the good work!
How do you know if your two pieces will meet evenly on the ridge? Is there a formula for figuring, or some sort of process?
You can lay it out first and see but whenever I get to the top close to the ridge, I scribe my pieces in and make them tight. You can hardly see it from the ground even if it looked bad up close.
@@dustyandsneezing What do you mean by scribing. Do you tip them to size and face nail with less of a seam?
Love this guy and his videos. The fact he takes the time ON JOBS to video is amazing....natural instructor. God bless man
Way to stay humble brother. That’s why people love you.
Long time builder in Ontario... it ruins your day when a trimmer uses too many nails and it takes forever to remove... in the same breath this is over head and there also blind nails... never be shy with the nail gun... great channel and work 👍
I learn so much from your channel and truly appreciate your videos! Thank you!
I enjoyed the music very much . And Tx for the good channel you have
First yes on hoodies and you never stop learning I started watching you I thought I knew a lot but wow I've learned so much watching channels like yours and even reading comments
Put up tons of T&G on ceilings and have always used 18gauge nails blind nailed with construction adhesive. I have never had any issues! 👍keep up the good work and love the videos!
At 5:37 I’m digging the music you used.
I just got done installing 7 1/2" wide (8' long) prefinished Pine T&G on a vaulted ceiling just like this. The builder wanted it as tight as possible, as there would be no caulking touch-up. We glued every piece (liquid nails) and blind nailed it with an 18 Ga. Most of the boards weren't perfectly straight, and needed a lot of pressured to get the T&G tight, 7 1/2" doesn't bend easily. When we needed to really crank on a board, we screwed a 3/4" thick block to the truss, just above the tongue, then drove shims (split in half lengthwise) until it was tight. Then, used a T-10 finish screw, instead of the 18 Ga nail, and blind screwed it. We had to this on 80% of the boards, took a long time, but it has stayed very tight. I live in a part of the country were we don't much varying of relative humidity, so I'm not concerned at all that they'll expand and buckle.
Richard, would you mind doing a short video on those badass Diamondbacks. I've been wearing my set for 8 years, back when they were being sewn in Alaska. Very comfortable, the hammer holster and velcro belt system are ingenious. Unlike leather, they don't take 5 years to break in. Keep up the good work!
Nice job. I like to use liquid nails on the back of tongue and groove. Actually on the back of all windsor one trim.
I like the music...Brass Octet or whatever it is. Puts a different feel to the whole endeavor...light in nature.
It’s a strong man who can admit his mistakes, especially on the internet. Keep up the good work. As they say, ‘every day is a school day’
Hey when that older model dewalt jigsaw goes I would definitely recommend to get the newer brushless model. I switched over and they corrected all the things from the old model, that I wished they would. I.e. blade release lever sticking, handle lower to shoe, brushless motor so longer battery life, etc.
btw very humble carpenter/UA-camr. Been watching you since the beginning!
9:20 lol I was waiting for this...saw the first board go up and was wondering if y'all planned on notching the grove for the nail lol
Love your work and your humility. Learning lots!!!
I love how you pay attention to the little details. Your workmanship and craftsmanship is almost a lost trait anymore in the trades. Anymore people are quick to nail things up and then try to hide their lack of skill with caulk and paint.
Was just looking on your website 3 days ago for more DeWaukee shirts. Definitely want some! A buddy of mine and I are big battlers over the two brands (me DeWalt and him Milwaukee) but honestly I just like good tools for the right price that get the job done. So i own some of both. The shirt and hoodies would be icing on the cake! Blue Black or a Gray :) preferably in big boy sizes (xl-3xl)
Keep doing what your doing and thanks for the videos!!
I’ve put up thousands of feet of this stuff. 18 gauge should be fine. 16 gauge would be safer lol. I’d also recommend using a small piece of scrap as a knocking block. That way you always preserve the tongue and don’t risk damaging when you hit it with a hammer.
Great piece of advice. I find that we always learn more from our failures than we do our successes. It's even better to learn from other people's failures. Stay safe out there and keep learning.
Screaminpotato yup same concept in Denmark, works perfect
Wouldn't gluing with 18 be fine?
I agree with your suggestion 16 Ga is the way to go. When get seasonal changes with moisture you have better safety factor.
@@2hunnedproof247 I’m sure 18 will be fine. It’s nailed every 16 inches and they go in on an angle making them harder to come out.
Richard I have learned everything I know about trim from you....you rock!!...I would also like a Hoodie and a shirt. Thanks for sharing your knowledge..
Richard & John, nice looking work.
I would like to see how the left side, ties into the right side along the ridge line.
TWO HOODIES XL, zippered front option in black please.
Have you thought about doing DFW CROWN stickers?
Ya I'm with ya there bro, I've learned so much through doing things over the years, as well as my network of friends and fellow tradesmen, and you've definitely given me a new perspective on a couple things, and absolutely 💯 cost me a few bucks in tools I never knew about before!! 😅 but I tell ya even when you think you've got everything... nope! There's more where that came from!
Keep up the good content and putting out the word on new tools as you acquire them, as I'll most likely be pausing the video to hit up my Amazon account! 😅👌
I would buy & wear the hoodies... I’ve bought 2 of your DeWawkee t-shirts & been wearing at the shop... People are always asking were I got... So mention your UA-cam channel.... Never miss you videos; I learn a lot that I now use at the shop... thanks...
Great work as always. I'd like to see a video on how the two ceilings meet up in the middle at the apex.
That Franklin stud finder is great. Love it
real recognize real...that builder knows you have integrity in your work and do what’s best, no substitute for that, some people still believe in good work ethic and value that
I like it ,,I just made a flip top work bench has my miter saw on one side and my planer on the other I love it it freed up so much space and got my tools off the floor ,,were I wouldn't have to pick them up and set them on my work bench your so right days like you just had are so rewarding makes you happy and makes you a better craftsman hope you enjoy many many hours and jobs on your new tool,,
Love this channel. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I picked up that stud finder on your recommendation. It's awesome. Zero guess work.
i work up in MA and we will also use a 7/16" crown stapler installing tongue and groove ceilings. holds really strong
Wish you would have shown the install of the final boards at the ridge
Great content 👍 must be very reassuring for your clients as they can see behind the scenes of your previous work and see how professional the work is.
Hey Richard, going back and catching up on some "older" videos. These tongue and groove boards, they could be used in a porch? Does Windsor 1 have stain grade? We have white vinyl ceiling panels (yuck) and we could go with white boards, or maybe stained the color of our front door, depending on what the wife wants. I'm hearing they could go out there, based on your comment near the end of the video (the builder asking you to add another job). Just making sure I understood correctly. Thx
your buying enough windsor one, get them guys to deliver
and where is your new scaffolding?
Yeah, can’t figure out why this guy doesn’t have his material delivered??
I love this guy, but he kills me with all the running around buying materials vs delivery. It’s very inefficient use of time for a biz owner.
Yeah man I always call in deliveries we call em air strikes
I love your channel ,I love your work most of all love your humility. A flooring hammer is nice but ever since I bought a $10 2 1/2 lbs dead blow hammer from Harbor freight maybe 15 years ago and started using it for flooring and T&G Iv never gone back it has plenty of weight to set your board and “most” hits won’t Damage the wood.
I recently purchased the Milwaukee 18v brad nailer. Works great.
I’m in for a hoodie and two t shirts. Do you plan to get several different colors? I love watching your videos. Great content.
Very cool how you went around the holes, very neat.
Awesome man! We all can grow in our trade. I’m in on the hoody. 2xl
A point of view. When I do that work, I also nail it where the nail cannot be seen, and I put rainbuster on it so that it sticks to the drywall
Humble and awesome guy. Thanks for the video. DFW represent!
When you do these T&G ceilings, how do you make sure you don’t end up with a very narrow pice at the top of the run ?
A great question most don't consider.
My approach would be to split the difference between the first and last board. So you'd have two partial width boards. One at the start of the run and another at the end.
Of course this only works if you were careful enough to measure before you start.
Same priciple applies to flooring as well.
@@comancheclub3449 that’s how I would do it as well.
Carful planning is how that’s done. One good question to always ask yourself in anything to do with finish carpentry let it be walls ceilings tile flooring siding. “ am I going to get a stupid little piece” and if so try to figure out how to avoid it.
I'm in on the dewaukee hoodie!! Ditch the red chalk indoors that's for framing go blue
Thanks as usual. Keep plugging away brother!
Can we start a gofundme for John to get him some tools and a tool belt?
Get this man a trailer
Lol.
and protection ear muffs!
@@erikcruz2951 Whut?
I think he'll do just fine
Glad to see you blind nailing. If nailing to drywall & framing , with concern that it will not hold. Add some basic construction adhesive dots to the backside every 16" or so. Can use a 16Ga. nailer that will take 2.5" brads > definitely reaching the backing . Again, if needed double nail each stud / rafter location. Looking good & have fun with the project. Ya! John needs a tooled pouch while helping out & up on a ladder!!
