    I'm in the US. Am I the only one who thinks that we are crazy for not being on the metric system? 922 mm - 16 mm is SOO much easier than. (36 19/64) - (11/16). WTF....

      On the other hand 3"x2" is easier to say than 75mm x 50mm. We tend to switch between imperial and metric in the UK as our parents all use imperial and we were taught to use metric at school.

      The square drive screw is amazing. Phillips screws cam out too easy and torx screws don’t sit on the bit well enough for awkward work. Square drive FTW! I’m used to using both measurement systems because of the military. Like the base 10 of metric for easy math; however, prefer SAE for things like fuel and fuel mileage. Because It’s easier to figure out range based on MPG than Liters per 100k. 🤷🏻‍♂️ they both work

    Great gate, but I don't think it would keep my mother-n-law out. Not strong enough for that.

    Kia Ora. Despite the strong accent, the instructions are just perfect. The best and clearest set of instructions ever. None of the usual waffle from other presenters. I would not mind being your apprentice. I think I will die a frustrated Carpenter. Just born too early to get benefits of UA-cam videos. Still, will continue learning and trying any woodworking projects need doing. Thank you

    I'm an Electrician, we are the higher paid tradies here in Australia..I think that Chippies like this bloke should be getting paid more than us. Carpentary is more of an Art and in my opinion, I believe it also requires more skill than the electrical scope.

    Nice projects. So are you on the North end of New Zealand? I noticed the Palm Trees in the background. We have Palm Trees here in the lower end of the San Joaquin Valley in Porterville California. We commonly get temperatures in the 105 F. Just last week it got there and it is in late May.

    Very professionally done. My hat off to you sir. Luckily I have a radial saw so all I have to do is lower the blade to make the knotches. Other than that well done. Oh and I like the glue you were using, but personally I just use carpenters glue. Seems to work just fine and no need to buy another glue. The sealant brushed on keeps the wood from ageing and keeps costs down.
