14:15 Obviously, I’m here for “this exciting episode”… BUT… I must say,,, I LOVE the bits of Jess throughout the videos. She’s a gem of sweet-sarcasm. Thanks again for sharing y’all’s journey!!! 🖤🖤🖤
I am fully impressed! It's just a complete ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!
Hopefully your cornea rather than your retina. The retina is at the back of the eye :). Great episode, good to see the time consuming/fiddly steps involved with renovations!
Yeah if he burned is retina, there were probably bigger problems than the glue
Lol! I’ll stick to building
I've done both in both eyes. You don't even feel your retina detaching. Red hot metal embedding in your cornea is not pleasant - it cauterizes its way into the surface. Yes, I was wearing safety specs for that one.
youre my freaking hero man, everyday i try to work more and more like you. calm, informed, and confident.
Hey Scott! Dutch door(frame) maker here. Your french doors are looking nice! Here are some tips for next time if you want to make it again; you don't need to make fancy bridle joints you can just join the frame together if you just cope them and use some decent PU glue and screws. But the one thing you need to do if you dont make bridle joints is that the stiles are inbetween the sill and the top because of the way the load is being transferred to the bottom (otherwise you just rely on some screws and glue). Also I wouldn't recommend using biscuits again to line and glue your sill together. They are made from beech wood which is the worst to use outside ( if they get severely wet they will expand a fair bit and they rot quite easily).
Btw is Ray also a dutchie? I worked in NZ as well doing my WHV and worked for a joinery that build supermarket stuff and when I was there (8 years ago) did the New World supermarket in Motueka! Good memories.
Cheers René
Man. You are really enthusiastic. Good job.
I can honestly say in the 26 years of being a carpenter I can count on one hand how many custom door and jams I have built. They are a creative challenge a pain in the ass and they always take far more time then you estimated that being said I love doing them. They give you a warm fuzzy every time you look at them .
Hey guys, I live in Motueka and a pest controller so if you ever need any help with the ants let me know. Also I may be wrong but I think Ray brought the house we use to live in. Great videos too thanks! We just brought our first house so heaps of work I need to do and the info have been great.
brought = to bring, bought = to buy... just saying, no trolling...
Having all the right tools makes all the difference on these jobs, great job Scott
Scott I'm glad I'm not the only carpenter pushing themselves into areas of work, they are not normally experienced in.
I love the fact that you'll try an do almost anything, it shows willingness and most trades would just refuse.
How exciting … old/new French doors. You make it look easy SBC! All looking good.
You know, something that isn't really talked about, but I think is a major shift in society is UA-cam as a source of education. I fix my own white-goods, I just installed a tow bar on my car, I do my own home repairs and renovations, I'm installing cheap Lithium batteries in my home at a fraction of the cost of Tesla power walls. I'm renovating two cars and three boats, upcycling a solid oak sideboard/buffet that I found in a goodwill store for $40, rebuilding my pool shed, building a new fence around my (corner block) property (doing red ironbark posts with horizontal dark grey corrugated aluminium sheets in between 👍), building all the cabinets for and renovating my kitchen and laundry and so much more. I'm a computer programmer and I would have no idea how to do any of those things without UA-cam channels like this one.
6:20 "IT'S QUITE RELAXING!!!" 😃😃😃
I was so looking forward to this episode. Pvc Windows and doors are king where I live. Great to see recycled material being given a new lease of life. Well done guys
These videos, the overall vibe of work coupled with location , and the people is so calming. Support for America!
I love that you play a genuine accordion, im not a huge fan of electric accordions. I love to see some tutorials. I can play half decent, but need a hand with the fancy bass side of things
Former joiner myself, good on you scott having a go at doing things old skool, looks good!! 👍
Looks awesome! Can't wait for the deck to be built 💪🖤
Awesome guys! Love how you've changed the flow of the house to make use of the site. You've made me want to move back to NZ and head to Nelson!
It's great to challenge ourselves. I love the idea of reuse instead of just throwing it away. I bet as long as you're in that house you'll love to show off that doorway, because you built it.👍
Feeling like Macgyver is never a bad thing 🍻
Ray is an absolute legend. Best friend ever!
Another excellent video, I enjoy watching you work. Greetings from Glenelg Maryland US 14,200 km away.
I noticed a Viking Arm holding up the door, such a handy tool.
Cool! I am a fan and practice the pride in reuse, recycle, repair practices. Thanks Scott and it is always a bonus to get to see Nelson again. I miss NZ and its lovely people. Been to NZ, mostly South Island, cycle touring, kayaking, tramping, 3 times. Cheers from East Canada.
Hey Jess... I used to pick blueberrries during my school holidays for pocket money. Going up and down the rows skimming the bunches. Good memories and spending.
Aw, you guys gave me serious summer vibes today...the sunglasses, the birdsong, the blueberries! Perfect antidote to the incredible greyness that is the East Coast of Scotland today
Thanks for the carpentry classes, learn a lot from you two. Helps me at work at M10 Massey. Always look forward to your videos.
Love the recycling but modern touches (large rectangle windows). Great job Scott!
Lots of satisfying hard work! Well done.
lovely video scott you're so inspiring
Nice work Mr. Brown. Lovely quality and effort, as always. Your knowledge and experience is really showing with how you’ve repurposed and up cycled so much. Looking forward to the next exciting episode!
Well, that was awesome, love watching this renovation!
what greater joy is there than renovating your own home.? none, i say...............your attention to quality and detail is appreciated..........spread the goodness
In 2 years of watching your videos, 1st time I've seen you using a handplane & chisel. I didn't think you owned such items !!
Each and Every episode is an exciting episode.... From point of view. 👍👍👍👍
Great choice of ending music. ❤
Looks great Scott. Totally in keeping.
I dump and "reset" my toolbag every Saturday. It's my favorite day of the week.
In my opinion you should leave the bars on the doors as they would fit nicely with the windows. You can have “fake” bars by just glueing or siliconing the existing wood (trimmed down in thickness of course) bars to the glass. This would give the double glazing but preserve the look!
Nah mate the glazing bars are too thin and don't suit the property, fake glazing bars look terrible...
Fake bars look bad on double glazing unless there is a bar inside the double glazed units as well. Otherwise when you get close you can see the gap between the inside and outside bars and see the glue used to fix
UA-cam sucks. I love your content and haven’t seen hour videos pop up for over 6 Months!!! Just noticed.
It’s interesting to hear your story about the epoxy injuring your eye!
Years ago I started working at a lumber yard at 18 and didn’t know a thing. Those plastic bands that wrap the dimensional lumber and keep them intact during shipping had lacerated my eye. It wasn’t from cutting the banding.. it was from wrapping it into tight bundles to toss in the trash. As I had let go of one bundle as I threw it away, it unraveled and cut my eye twice before I could even blink. No permanent damage, just hurt pride at the time lol.
Favourite channel, great progress!
Awesome show!
Very nice work. Make sure you really paint that door for long term protection
The door bars (muttons) are perfectly in line with the windows!!!
£7.80 for blueberries. Scotts got stacks!
You should sell your broken things online or something. I'd buy something and I bet others would to.
And also,
SCOTT BROWN HERE!
And to add to it, people could try to fix the tools and such and send a video of it! Lot's more content, right?
Awesome video (as usual) as I have 3 of these to build for my renovation. Keep up the great work
Scott I just realised you looks bit like Gerard Pique 😅😅😅😍😂
love watching your show nice and relax, even when faced with difficult issues in the build, you stay calm and relaxed not always easy to do :)
100% correct in saying that it's not the most efficient way to whack in a set of French doors...by creating the set yourself...but nothing quite like the feeling when the result turns out like yours has...the cost for it would just be astronomical and very unlikely anyone would pay it...but the result...especially on your own place is well worth the investment in time and effort...great job as always...and once those doors are painted up...those extensions will be invisible.
Cheers from over the Ditch 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Scott I have built a door jamb before so I know can be complicated but just break down to the simple steps and go from the next one and so on
I was thinking...He's an amazing carpenter...and video maker!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First time writing a comment before watching the video :) Quite boring Friday - siting home because kids are sick... then I saw that there is a new episode, so cool - going to make some snack and one glass of rum.. and will have some relaxing time watching your video :)
Scott those hinges look like they don't lock... So it's really easy to get into the house!
Have you been to New Zealand? Not really an issue there.
Good day Scott, enjoyed the episode! When I saw the broken Chemex I thought I'd mention a zero bypass brewer I use, called a Next Level Brewer. I really like the results I get with it! Anyway good luck with renovation, looking forward to it all coming together for you!
I collected driftwood of the beach and built a 7 piece dining suite in an afternoon ;)
0:28 Good opportunity to get a V60 ;) And a good grinder!
Great to watch true tradesmen from here in uk have a wonderful Xmas
very clever
Kind off like the window in the 3 sections as it is on the screen it looks like it lines up nicely with the window next to it.
Good job
I've made so many in my career , it's worth it 👌
Also I do the French doors opening in and the timber screen door opening out, so nice , I use cedar for me timber doors..❤
Actually making the door not using second hand doors❤
Scott maybe you could jus get a v-groove router bit and run it along the joints on the door and make a profile if it's gonna crack and show a line anyway.
Hi Scott and Jess. Love your videos and watching your house progress.I notice you are very keen on priming and back priming. I have spent most of my life as a painter and totally applaud this process. I have found doing my career that acrylic (water based) systems will allow moisture in. The theory is that it also will travel back out. I have see so much failure with with water based systems that I have been a strong advocate for using oil based primer or undercoat to ensure the timber will survive for future generations. It is not as convenient but it will provide the protection you are looking for. All purpose undercoat is my go to product since it dries quicker than primer and works well on both hard and soft woods. Have a great Christmas and keep up your wonderful standard of work and great videos.
How's the painting going, dear?
Jess: Yeah, it's gettin there.
Pardon?
Jess: It's getting there; quite therapeutic.
I can't hear you.
Jess: IT'S QUITE RELAXING. lmao
Awesome!
Excellent work as always! really look forward to your vlogs, makes me want to get stuck into my place :)
That's cool and even though you're removing the bars from the doors, they'll still complement the age of the house because they're wood. I also know how I'm going to fix the dropped sill in my similar age house - pull out the whole jamb and sill as one unit 👍
Hi always like to watch your video's.....😁😁😁.... loooking great
Hey Scott.... I was wondering who stole our sunshine, can we please have it back (Canada)
Nice Scott!11
Lovely work.
Cool episode, you did great guys
Nice episode Scott, btw... "Mc Gyver never ruined a coffee pot" 🤣🤣💪💪
I think the second lesson you forgot to elaborate on is that your employer often does not care about your safety or wellbeing.
And how many subscribers were asking the question just before you mentioned it??? ALL of us🤪🤪🤪. We were waiting for the doors to 'Bind'.. Not really. Be very proud of it.
Scott, I have enjoyed you pushing yourself into new areas of carpentry. First cabinet making and now this. Kudos. It encourages me to push myself as well, even if you are experienced in an area, there is always some new category that you can learn. Can't wait for the next exciting episode as always.
After all the years i'm following you, it is still weirding me out how you build in nz. No isolation everywhere, no massive beams, shoot everything with the nailer. Quite different from ger.
Great video, as usual. Interesting to see how things are done in a different part of the world. In passing, I couldn't help but notice that the hinges are on the outside. I assume they are fixed and there is no removable pin...?
Yeah they are fixed pin hinges m. They allow us to open the doors right up (180•)
You know when u get old, when someone ask you 'who is mcguyver?'. But yeah, no Bentley for you Scott, but you can hang a door :)
Hi! 👋
Make a episode about gloves!
Always interesting what kind of gloves for different jobs use another people in different countries.
Colonial bars look so much nicer S.B.
Another excellent episode 👍
I sense a deck coming around that French door.
Yes indeed
My idol😊👍👍
what an achievement!
When I stick a an extension on the bottom of a door I put a drip on the outside to cover the joint and a brush on the inside, any future movement covered…
The other point about recycling an old Rimu and/or Cedar door or window is that you end up with a Rimu and/or Cedar door or window, which if you had to buy it new would be unbelievably expensive and possibly impossible.
I hope you installed these with security hinges.. you mounted the pin on the outside..
Otherwise nice work
Get yourself a can of bushels red ribbon roast.
Sure is easy when you have every tool
I’d love to make my own furniture and things, but sourcing the proper wood and dealing with the wood merchants intimidate me a bit. I’ve been looking to build a cold frame, a garden lounger and a bookshelf. How is the dewalt table saw? Blueberries are really easy to grow in pots if you want to grow your own
Watched the box corner video. Nice while it lasted 🎈
Was that a 2 🍒 chisel I saw? Very nice.
I hope you were able to buy another coffee ☕️ container ?😎
no skillshare so happy !!
12:40 "Always wear safety glasses" whilst wearing some non safety ordinary glasses 😅😅😅. They will still do a job I suppose and you're right about thay epoxy scott.
Amazing video as usual mate.
