Great content mate.

Very good demonstration of what everyday folks can do for themselves ! Thank you Sir.

excellent video 🎉🎉🎉

The only thing missing is an inline switch to shut the thing off. $10 well spent to keep from crouching under that thing to shut it off every time (I’m a tall guy. Hunching over sucks)

One thing that always stuck with me, “if you going to cut it wrong, cut it long” 😆 i definitely use this one quite often 😅

Yeah this advice ruined our floor. You can here is crunching every time you walk on the floor. Bad advice

Hot air rises so the experimental won’t work

Buy a router and make a sled. Probably can be done for less than £100.

bravo

Keep your temperature the same 24 hrs per day to save money. If you lower the temperature at night, you have to spend a lot of money in the morning to heat it up again. It's cheaper to maintain it at a constant level.

The first time I used my electrical planer I ended up in A&E 😬 Thankfully the blade was only set at a fraction of a mm. But it led to some amazing blood splatter! Be careful out there, folks! 😅🩸

Thanks that gonna help

One quite important thing when building a board with multiple planks is paying attention to the direction of the fiber, and alternate, core against core, back against back, with the lines always running parallel

Nice video. I buy my lumber from a large mill. And have the tools to edge, and plane four sides. I usually buy between 100 - 200 bf of Black Walnut, and hard Maple. I have the mill join and plane one side. Saves me so much time. Then I can just use my thickness planer to get the thickness I need. I quite often use my bandsaw to tip to thickness. I realize I am lucky to have a large mill less than an hour away. But there are places that will do mill work for around $90 an hour near here. By doing this I do not need a huge jointer in my shop, which saves me space, time and money.

During one of the hottest summers in the deep south, I used this on my storm door. It may have shocked a few neighbors, but it was temporary and was wonderful! Wasn't too terribly shocking, just looked different. Lol. I placed it between the ironwork and glass. I can't tell you the difference it made in heat. I had specially painted my door in a beautiful blue ombre effect, and it saved that door, kept me from burning myself every time I opened the door, and helped keep the heat out of the house. Excellent stuff. 😊 Also, make some dropcloth curtains, ceiling to floor and covering sidelight window. Hang over the door at the ceiling level, with a decorative curtain rod or chunky wooden dowel. We close them at night and have a draft dodger on the floor in the winter. Makes a ton of difference.

Hey Pete. Ex-window dressing fitter here. The curtain over the door is great. Even better if you don’t choose an eyelet style and instead use pencil pleat or pinch pleats. The fabric stays closer to the door and doesn’t create those big ‘S’ profile gaps at the top and bottom that air can flow through easily. Also when you dress an eyelet curtain like that at either end the curtain edge should face the door/wall, not into the room. Again this will help the draft and look a bit nicer too. Keep up the great videos mate ❤

Hey Pete, you’d probably notice a bigger difference by insulating the floors in the rooms upstairs since FAR more of the heat in your lounge will be lost upwards to convection.

My grandpa was joiner/carpenter and used only hand tools most of his life, before he got his own workshop with my dad. I was learnt from my grandpa to use hand tools. Main thing he was always repeating is that fundament is to have a great workbench and learn how to use it. I used to work as joiner along my brother who is professional and qualified one. Now my line of work is completely different, but joinery and carpentry is my hobby. I mainly use hand tools, as working like that is so relaxing for me. I agree that thiknesser is very convenient if woodworking is your way of earning money. Is it the only power machine you need in your workshop? For me it's actually a good table saw with good gualidy guide and gauge. If you will also make some stencils/forms/templates you can do a ton of stuff with it. Your channel is really great and I hope you will get way more subs, because you deserve them.😊

Your small space is 3x bigger than mine :(

To since when did diy have a shop wtf i have a drill and a hand saw im I on another planet 😢😂😮🎉

Any added insulation will help. depending on how cold it gets in your area. here in the U.S. in the north it can get down to about 10 deg. F on a really cld day and down even further during the night, so very good insulation for the floor as well as walls and ceiling is a must. a good efficient heater helps as well.

I fear your heavy traffic areas will POP with use. Do tell uscome Spring .

Years ago, I had a house that was always chilly. I bought some Luan (ultra thin paneling), literaly tacked it to the wall after I covered it with insulation covered that with close out upholstery fabric. My what a positive difference. I just doubled up on rugs on the floor (all the luxury home videos did it 😅). Already had wall to wall carpet on top of which I laid large and small area rugs. Yummy and so soft. And got them off Craigs list.

Those subtle, thought-out transitions are really cool, man! Keep it up!

Try underfloor insulation in under the floorboards and between the joists

The manufacturers of this radiant barrier say it should be under the floorboards with an air gap . U should of insulated in-between the joists with rockwool and then foil on top and stapled 25mm below the top of joist . Foil then taped to wall with skirts over top. Fully sealed u would gain room temps.

Still not convinced. Most comments seem to ignore the `condensation` issue as this is not a vapour barrier.

"Just depends on what you value you most" -- well said.

I live in Texas. We have 107 degree summers and 20 degree winters. I used a product similar called Reflectix. I have several large windows that are single pane. I cut panels of Reflectix to snuggly fit in the window frames and covered them with fabric. I put these panels in the windows to stop heat or cold. It has made a huge difference in the room temperature and comfort level in the rooms. I don't know how much it has saved on utility bills, but the comfort factor has been significant .

I am going to do this on tiles and put click clack wood on top.... still thinking about whther there will be condensation between tiles and insulation??

Inspiring work.

Thinking of doing this under my office floor, but doesn't the flow covering compress the bubble which means it won't work.

If your floor has a basement or crawl space that's where you should be using the foil. It's a vapour barrier so installing it as you have will create moisture issues. If you cover a reflective surface then it also won't be able to reflect heat of cold. Your insulation change is only done by the trapped air in the bubbles.

what a great waste of material

U got great vids but MDF on the fireplace is a bit like Styrofoam on the radiators 😅 When it comes to rendering, I mix render and water to make a "primer" prior to putting the render on. And always working a bit soggy.

Hey mate, I got the same Metabo. Really nice for the price. Dunno if it is cheaper here in germany tho. I eliminated the snipe in a different way, that also helps with getting long boards flat. I took a ~300mm wide and ~1500mm long melamin board (Siebdruckplatte) and made a fixed food on one side and an one that is held in with magnets and loose dowels on the other side. These feets are the exact height of the infeed and outfeed table of the Metabo. Now if I want to use it, I just slide it thru the planer, attach the magnetic feet on the one side and have a 1500mm long and perfectly straight bed. I only lose 16mm maximum heigt, but it makes a HUGE difference. Btw, regarding helical head, there are some interesting videos out there, that explain why most cheaper ones are worse, than a normal cutter head. Has something to do with angle of the blades and overlap.

Can i put this on concrete flooring...im so cold

Heat travels up. All the insulation will not change that. Density of air due to temp.

As this video is now two years old, any update on how this foil bubble wrap worked out long term, wear and tear etc. We are currently looking at doing something similar, but are concerned with moisture. The usual built by cowboys chipboard flooring on a ground floor house with a small airgap between foundation and floor, where only the barest amount of loft style loose insulation had been strung between the rafters. The siting room is front to back of house with the little vents in the outside walls, and the cold is ridiculous. We have been looking at standard type underlays and TOG ratings, 3.5 seems the highest and around 12mm thick, no bubbles of air to compress. So why use foil wrapped bubblewrap?

I just restored an old wooden hand plane and this video just made my day. You explain it so well and I love your accent. Thank you

I had to replace all of the floor in my bungalow due to most of the floorboards being rotten .Once they were all removed before putting the new floor down we draped garden netting across the joists and then put ordinary loft insulation in the gaps between the joists .new floor went down and new carpet .The diffrence is unbeleiveable The bungalow not only is much warmer but it stays warm even when the heating has been off for hours

I started off with a free standing garage so I didn't need to invest into building a shop. Instead I got me a cnc machine as my first tool. Took me two years to get my head around it, but now I am making stuff. Love your shop. It's make do and not make shiny.

What’s under that floor? Crawlspace? Unfinished basement? Slab? Maybe seal and insulate underneath?

Good recommendations! On chisels, those Powerfix sets that occasionally show up in Lidl are good for the price. Got some in 2018, and haven't had to sharpen them anywhere near as often as the less-cheap cheap ones they replaced. Maybe a bit chunky for fine work, but unlike all the similar Stanleys, Irwins etc. I've got through over the years, I find myself actually wanting to use these
