No wonder the really old tradesmen stick to their time proven practices and materials. Air conditioning and heat pumps cause a lot of problems with adhesives I find.

    As an old dyi carpenter, I was taught by true carpenters to use the Stanley Powerlock (25' or 30') tapes and add the 3.0 inches of the tape box for inside measurements. Much more accurate than bending a tape. All Stanley tapes (if not other brands} have the length of the tape box written at the bottom-back. I've only used the simply +3 inches as I can't manage 3 1/4 inches or other such odd sizes. Keep up the good work. :-)

    Another entertaining piece Scott, Paerau and Cam! Keep up the great work guys.
    Just something which might be worth considering re the decoder hide-away. While I can't be sure about the current kit, but some decoders can get surprisingly toasty during normal operation. Add a humid Auckland summer and it might be worth considering ventilation holes/slots underneath the shelf perhaps? Ideally then a little more space around the hatch for the warm air to flow up and out through. Acheiving the latter without ruining the look may well be a bit of an ask however.

    I already have or actively use something similar to three of them. I own, but don't often use a rather cheap right angle drill adaptor. Air wedges are great. I'm liking the ultra-thin circular saw blade (I don't have one) I do use Pull saws, including the one based on Edding snap-off blade holders. I don't use CA glue much. But I do use a hot-melt glue gun for repairs, more than I expected. Good ideas from 6ou as always.

    I also love my air wedge, got one to test it out, now deciding if I need another 1 or 3. Right angle bit also rocks, so useful assembling furniture, where I'd never get a drill/driver or impact driver in to tight spaces otherwise. With my tape measures I have to add on 80mm if I want to do full span, having the extra marking would save that addition I suppose but not to difficult for me and I have 5 of them all the same so would be expensive to replace them, (They are Stanley FatMax ones and were 2 for a tenner at Screwfix, but really good solid tapes). Superglue is very useful as temporary bonding but I will only use it for light stuff of permanent, that's probably because I have a tendency to over build things due to a lack of formal engineering training, but that's fine for DIY where I'm happy to pay a little more for materials than if I was doing it professionally and have something over spec'd for the job. I built the master bed out of 195x45 lumber and can now, if I want swing off the shelves round the headboard and land on the bed and everything is fine, just fine. Love your work, and delivery as usual.

    I have two new ones for you.. Leica Disto D2. I can't be without it now. Measures super quick, very accurate and allows you to add up measurement with the laser itself. Need to measure a heap of footings for concrete? Walk around and shoot each hole pressing + between each measurement. Need to do a quick but accurate run off for skirtings/arcs? Walk around the house and shoot each room pressing "+" between each measurement. Shoots to me accuracy, brilliant for for fitout or measuring between to walls.
    Also, I know you had a tape on your list. But try a tape with a rubber grip (Stanley fatmax etc). You can use the rubber to erase pencil. Super handy when doing fine carpentry work. 👍👍

    If you use CA glue, just dampen one side and glue the other. Put together and walk away. I found one CA glue that it didn't work at all on. Otherwise, you're golden.
    I just have to edit this in, concerning the floating shelf, which came out fantastic. The first time I had to build a knee wall (short wall about 4' high, basically unsupported), it moved if you leaned on it. I tried all ways to stabilize it and finally hit on a way. This is very similar to your floating shelf.
    I glued the drywall onto it. Whenever anyone leaned on it, it tried to stretch the drywall from the bottom to the top. You can't stretch drywall or plywood. If you feel you need more strength on those shelves, use a bead of panel adhesive along the front and rear beams, top and bottom. The next day, you will feel the difference.

    It's interesting to see that ruler in millimetres too. In Europe, most rulers are expressed in cm, even though carpenters and mechanics use mm normally. But construction and regular folk uses cm.
    Sometimes it causes issues with communication between masons and carpenters, or between a client and a carpenter. Though luckily it's just a factor 10 off, so you can easily figure out the correct measurement.
    Having every ruler in mm would move everyone to just use that scale.

    Hey scott, for that saw knife I recommend you check out the olfa CS-2 or there is the CS-5 which has a thinner blade for tighter cuts. The CS-2 is admittedly not the best ergonomically (its pretty much a straight piece of aluminum so it is pretty unbreakable with channels cut in it for the blades) but I use it myself on wood drywall and plastic it absolutely lunches anything but metal and I got my business partner onto using one he's very happy with it too.
    It basically has 2 blade channels one on each side and comes with one saw blade and one standard snap blade but you can have any combination of 18mm blade in you want I guess, cant tell you much about the CS-5 other than it looks like it feels better in your hand and it has a thinner blade because I've never used one but I would imagine the CS-2 is best if you make mostly straight cuts and the CS-5 is better if you make curved cuts.
    have a good one
