Hi where do you buy the adapter to be able to use a makitatool with a Dewalt battery ?
Hi, know this is off topic, but what do you think of the cut hub saw bench?
@insider carpentry, Spencer, did you level the bottom base piece? And also is that dewalt battery on the makita biscuit jointer?
Stud finder link?
@@brandongomez1842 he uses his Dewalt batteries on a couple of different brand tools such as his Milwaukee M18 nailer.
It's a pleasure watching you work.
So impressive. Using SketchUp template, pattern boards, biscuit joints for alignment and moving electrical box. We can all learn so much from Spencer.
You are very talented, I wish we could have seen it finished with paint.
Sketch up rules! I use mine all the time. Takes out 95% of the guessing when you are onsite. That's a killer accent wall looks great.
I looked at sketchup. But never really used it. This is the first time I've heard of carpenters using it for assisting in projects.
How is this done ?
@@fdiver60 is Just like AutoCAD, but super easy to learn and adapt. I paid $700 for the software subscription and have updated every year since 2018. I've been using it for my current home build as well I've designed and built many furniture and cabinets just using this program. For small to large projects (like a house), this program has been a lifesaver. Tons of videos on UA-cam to get your inspiration up!!
Thanks Spencer. I like that you address keeping the joints closed. I see so many others just butt and glue and always thought those joints would show up later...
I have a client who moved into a 6 million dollar rebuild rife with hideous picture frame molding and every single joint is cracked. Jesus wept.
I have done a similar job, once you get the first piece you can just work the corners and mark the others that join.. I always learn a couple tricks from your vids, keep up the good work!
3rd Video I watched! Amazing skill & talent you have! I’m a Journeyman Carpenter & man I suck! Lol! I’m learning from your videos! Thanks for your patience & I gotta say it, you are the best Carpenter I’ve seen by far! Subbed for Life! 🔥🔥👊👍
Great video. This is the first time I have ever since pinch dogs used outside of my trade. I am a journeyman patternmaker and pinch dogs are a must in every patternmakers tool box. I have pinch dogs that are over 75 years old.
Nice work on moving the electrical, the electrician will surely appreciate it.
Would like to see this painted/finished
It's on is instagram
That is one of the best instructional videos I've seen I love the detail descriptions
Great job Mr. Lewis.You are a real pro and it's been awesome watching your channel and learning so much even as a ret. carp..You are a real craftsman and the sky's the limit for you .Stay safe.Ty.
Spencer, I am a DIY’er and love your Chanel. Your detailed explanation is the best I’ve seen and your projects are amazingly precise.
I use an app called right angle. You can work out any triangle, I end up using it quite a lot. It gives area too so good for working out quantities for cladding/drywall
great flow on this video, glad you did the voice over narration
I love how detailed you are !
That's the best chalk line I've ever used man. The small line is great for interior walls, you don't get chalk all over the place and a big fat chalk line. Retying that knot the first time it broke was tricky though, I wish I would've looked at how it was tied originally. But the pinpoint tip is the extra hand, for the solo man.
Good to know. Do you know if the chalk erases off of the wall easily afterwards? And is the point small enough that a dab of spackle will make it disappear? I hang a lot of artwork and mirrors and it can be time consuming laying out painter’s tape and pencil lines with a spirit level. If I can switch to a chalk line that doesn’t leave chalk all over the floor and erases off of the paint easy, I’d imagine that would save tons of time.
Ive used chalk line on top of painters tape for a barn door rail layout. You can also bump off excessive chalk outside. Pull out the line ahead of time while outside, and shake it lightly. when you snap, the line is faint on the tape. Just what I’ve done when I forgot long levels/straight edges.
Wow incredible. You make it look easy. Wish I was this skilled.
Clever use of pattern boards for angles. Trying to figure out if you could have used a jig to avoid having to swing the saw around. So easy to put the wrong angle on a board! Thanks for the video.
I like how you tackle precision.
I love to learn the different techniques and tricks you use in your videos, enrich my knowledge and capabilities. Thanks bro. For a job like that, would be good to use a Carpenter calculator, like Contruction Master , or some other. Thanks again.
It’s like Florida vibes for sure
I dont care what they say about you Spence you're a good man
Very very nice tutorial.
Thank you I am going to attempt this project at my sister's house.
Excellent work and breakdown of the job
I just love how you make things look so easy another great video thank you great tips on measuring too 👍👍👍👍
Nice to see you make an accent wall look good & easy 🧐😄
Nice work man. Thanks for the insight of how to do carpentry.
The low ceiling made this one extra specially profitable nice work pal
Very nice use of your pattern reference board, a.k.a. the money maker...
The only thing I see that you should’ve done to be totally pro and not to tick off the taper was to screw a piece of 1x in the old outlet hole hiding the screws behind your design and screw the piece of sheet rock you cut out for the new outlet hole into the old outlet hole
That's how we do patches here in FLorida, nice! Always increasing and growing together
Your work is incredibly well done
Do a video on how you used sketch up to design this wall. Thanks.
That would be very helpful. SketchUp is one of those things that looks so simple when I see it demonstrated, and then I go to use it to create something and I'm all thumbs.
There’s a lot of Sketchup tutorials out there guys, but the key is just jumping in and watching them and doing it, a lot of the good ones are guys that don’t actually do wood work, it’s a fantastic software for sure, though I have a pro classic license, I’m not sure about the Free Make online!
that's a professional job... nice and clean
As always excellent work . Thanks for sharing
Great work! I always learning something when watching your videos and I appreciate the insight into making the job site more efficient. Thanks for producing such great content.
Let the painting begin!
I'm liking the dust collection on the compound miter saw!
Ideally, one would patch the drywall before installing the trim.
That's what I was thinking. Been doing drywall for 30 years and that's a pain in the ass to finish with the trim up, not to mention there will be mud all over the trim.
Finish carpenter for 26, I’ve always took the piece cut from new hole and put it in old hole with a piece of wood behind but never have I waited for it to be finished, our finishers always just tape wood off, hard to say why he did it that way, though I know time is money!
Ideally the box wouldn't be in the way of the trim.
Great video, I like to seal the back of my decretive trim work so it’s not raw wood touching the drywall. Iv noticed on some of my projects like this. That once the wood is acclimated to the moisture in the room. It still tends to to acclimate moor when attached to the wall. If there is a shower or sink in that room the moisture in the air can cause the wood to shrink and swell. So I like to seal both sides. Great video and work 😎👍🏻
Great idea. What do you use to seal the wood? Primer or shellac?
@@davec3689Thanks David, depending on the finish if it’s just going to be stained and clearcoated then maybe just a clearcoat on the back side. If it’s going to be painted then a coat of primer will work for sure. 😎👍🏻
@@adsbadsb9488 my point exactly I agree 100%.
@@adsbadsb9488 definitely take it back to the basics I agree.
This channel still amazing master carpenter for sure. I’m always super impressed when I watch this creators content 👍🏻😎🔨
My wife will be thrilled you posted this 😅
You make it look so easy!
@1:05 Dang. I forgot that you can use a adapter for DeWalt battery with Makita tools. You even had a video on it before. I should have picked up the cordless Makita over the corded DeWalt one. Live and Learn I guess. Nice work on the accent wall! And PRB for the win!
Good eyes! I missed it until I saw your comment and went back to review.
Love watching these videos. I make pattern boards for step-treads left and right then pull the difference with a scribe left and right. You do good work. I can’t figure out sketch up so I just do the math on the wall with a level and tape but I’m 37 and that’s long hand compared to this method that makes you more money per hr your way. I’d like to bend your ear sometime if you’re willing.
Yer one a them smart fellers...un huh.
Nice breakdown
Did I miss the discussion about the biscuit joiner?
I’m surprised you don’t use the festool domino! I bought one for trim a year ago and I wish I would have bought one sooner it’s amazing!
Great video and the wall looks great.
that looks great I think the only difference between my work and yours I use more caulk
I’m getting that Makita. That thing is cool.
I enjoy all of your videos. Always have been a wannabe carpenter. I noticed that the saw dust chute at the front of the blade on your 780 is missing. They are destroyed when one experiences kick back [ask me how I know]. And yours? Please continue with your superior videos.
Ever consider pocket screws instead of biscuits? No need for pinch dogs and holds up as well as a nice cabinet face frame
All the time, but not in this particular application. I'd rather build it on the wall than preassemble.
Nice work, great tips! The only thing that competes with the pinch dogs in this application is the lamello zeta using the tenso fittings. Obviously way more expensive with the cost of the machine + consumables.
What about a brad driven through the edge? Brad acts as a clamp, holding the joint together until the glue dries. Cheap, easy, quick, and only a small hole in one edge th fill. Sometimes simpler really is better.
@@petem2700 Agreed simpler is often better. I would still do a floating tenon whether it be a domino or biscuit. Another idea would be to put a 23ga pin nail in both sides of the tenon instead of the pinch dogs.
@@adams5202 Yes, in conjunction with the biscuits. I never meant to imply to eliminate the biscuits, just that a brad nail is a simple "clamp". As long as the miters are tight, the joint only needs to be held together, not pulled together. Obviously the glue is still imperative.
"Jig" is a word you could use for your template board.
*Welcome back*
Good idea
I do these all the time and NEVER use buscuits I use pockethole joinery. Never had a client in 15 years complain about anything coming apart.
What kind of blade is on your saw? Great work as always. Beyond great really. There's not any room for improvement. So best work. 👌
@@biskygiver thanks
I think you should have showed us the mid after it was painted! 😁 I know your jus the carpenter, but the end result I know turned out awesome
What is the material you are working with?
I wish you lived in my city - I would hire you in a heartbeat. I am in the process of having a garage suite built and have been watching your videos for 6 months or so now. It took 4 guys a day and a half to hang 7 doors and case the windows and doors in a 575 sq. ft. suite above a garage and I am left with a lot of sanding and filling to do, and drywall repair everywhere for the nicks and even some PL dried on the walls. Low production and low quality. I hope more finish carpenters watch your videos and learn all they can from you!
Where do you live Kevin?
The problem ain't finding a good carpenter, people don't want pay a professional his skills and time.
@@flooringspecialist4574 most definitely
Awesome
Can you do a quick video on using Sketchup for this or another project? I've never used it, but would like to learn.
I’m seriously as dumb as a bag of hair when it comes to using the computer, and I figured out Sketchup in less than an hour. Just do it.
I have used Sketchup for a few projects but still would like to see the steps in creating the plans. Using Sketchup is kinda like carpentry, everyone has their methods that can be helpful to others.
Great work. 🙏
Thanks
Nice work. I feel like it needs a top board to match the base tho.. Just my opinion..
Nice clean job !
Nice work
Do you think incorporating the electrical box into the wood path is a better way to flex your skill?
Definitely not....wouldn't want to draw the eye to that.
I like the pinch dogs too dog
love this wall but I dont want to use the joiner what if we use wood that isn't as thick and just use the brad nailer?
Can you tell us how you connect your dust hood to your vacuum? Do you use a reducer? Thanks for the great content
I just run the hose up through the hole in the dust hood. Connect hose to back of saw.
Here in Montreal I have never seen plastic electrical box, only metal. It is very convenient for an easy removal without damaging more drywall I guess.
Hey Spencer again I wanna give a shout out here from Seattle Washington I love your videos man and what another brilliant video so my question is do you know I’m looking at this absolutely awesome accent wall and I’m like you know in my mind I’m like you know what I am feeling kind of bossy so I’m telling myself you know I think I can do that you know Ha Ha Ha LOL do you know how to myself I’m thinking yeah I can do that you know I can do it Spencer ya right lol u the the trim Zen master but in reality I know it’ll take me a long time to get to that but I think I can do it but my question is how did you enter cross right there in the middle where were there you got that crossing intersection ofMaterial how did you get it to flow like that what do you do did you do the overlapping did you and I’m not sure did you completely have a an angle cut with a D 45 or 22° whatever movie did you cut and if you did how did you figure out the degree to cut that on your miter saw so it was tight and real tight because it looks real tight from here anyways love it love the video love love what you do keep it up again shout out from Seattle here Washington and let me know what your last golf score was if you if you feel comfortable with releasing that information LOL all jokes aside great video can’t wait for the next one
Also sorry about the comment I was text to flow text to speak kind of thing and it’s really a pain in the butt so hopefully you get the point of what I’m saying out of that yeah LOL anyways man yeah I love the video great job man shout out from Seattle Washington
Hey great video as always.
Can tell us how long this entire process took?
Last half of the work day including time messing with video cameras.
Very cool, but I don't have and don't want to learn Sketchup for one project. How did they do it before computers? They did it! I suspect they drew or snapped lines on the wall and used geometry.
I just thought of it. They drew lines, then used a bevel gauge and set it They took the bevel gauge over to the miter saw, which was a hand saw in those days, set the angle, and made the cut.
It's actually trigonometry, but yes, with a couple of formulas, and either an angle table, or scientific calculator, you can easily get those precise angles.
I like your work. But i would have gone with a bigger base & a border all around the 3 sides would have made it pop out more and put the top piece smaller so after installing a crown the top & bigger would look like a door.
I don't think he was the designer. He was implementing what was asked. This is a more clean, modern look. It's likely that someone with this design aesthetic would prefer clean corners rather than crown molding.
I never he was but its just a plain wall don't need a designer for that. It was my opinion as the way was done had no pop to the wall
did you paint it the same colour on the wall are left it that way thanks
Hello Spencer I've enjoyed your videos for some time now I pulled the trigger on that chalk line and was wondering am I missing something I there on board storage for the metal end when you have the pin 📌 on? Such a great product but I will loose it for sure. Ideas 💡.
May i have wood dimensions and type of wood please?
Cool little video as always👍 how long that take u to complete??
An afternoon.
Are all your ceilings really low? ,or are you really tall, because there is no way i could reach mine ,they,re 8ft 6inch high😀
Why not just use hi pur instead of biscuits and pva glue?
💪
If you're relying on Sketchup for the angles, why not use the measurements from that too and just precut everything at the shop and bring it with you?
Because walls aren’t perfect.
What is the name of the software you used to generate the angle?
Sketchup
I wish there was a camera set up to get the reaction from the painter as he walks in the room. That surely ruined his day. Looks cool tho
Not if the painter likes doing higher pay skill work to showcase the painter's quality craftsmanship, rather than easy, low skill production work.
But I take your point if the painter bid the job without knowing there was a feature wall.
I looked at sketchup. But never really used it. This is the first time I've heard of carpenters using it for assisting in projects.
How is this done ?
SketchUp is like a 3D version of CAD. Every project needs a design to show a client, so it is just a matter of using it.
Cool
do you get paid extra for moving receptacles?
Spencer just out of interest , if you’d used sketchup for the lengths rather than site measures how far off were they ?
Depends how far out of plumb the walls are. Plus or minus 1/4" probably.
Spencer y u not just a border around the wall 👀👍
Where is the finale result?
Do you use paid version of sketch up to get the angles?
Typical cost for something like this?
What software do you use to find your angles and draw up patterns for your wall?
How would you design this in sketch up?
Absolutely, and I did beforehand in order to determine my angles for cutting.
Do most lumber yards carry biscuits?
Is it Simon Cowell's house?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 👍
Was that a dewalt battery in a makita biscuiter?
Can pocket screws be used here as well?
