An Easy Way To Level Out Sistered Joists || Dr Decks

[@pmur079]

Great info. Got the right brother to help out with those unruly sisters. Lol

[@janepowell4251]

It’s so nice to see professionalism in the trade. Thank you

Great idea using the router, I’m actually going to use that to level some double joists that have different crowns. I’m sure you know, PT wood dust is laced with the preservative that is nasty to breathing in. Using the router overhead like that you can’t avoid inhaling that fine dust!

Learned a little domething today. I am going to amazon now for that bit. Thank you for the tip.

[@georgedavall9449]

Wow, better order an English/spelling book? 😆 😂 ✌

[@huejanus5505]

Wouldn’t it be easier to rip strips of wood and nail or screw them on to level them it out?

💡……DOCTOR GOOD PLAN, once again DOCTOR nothing like a real craftsman ( sawdust all over him) sharing his work experiences in the real world of everyday building.

[@georgedavall9449]

TOOOOOOO much trouble My man! Wow, appreciate the Craftsmanship however! You Rock Dr!

[@CaptainsOrders]

what would you recommend instead?

[@RileyLabrecque]

Huh, are those lvls rated for exterior use?!

[@dylancocca1770]

why can't you just set depth and under cut existing joists by an 1/8 or so and run soffit to new joist? love the videos and craftmenship! just curious

[@victoryak86]

You could do that for sure but this is a nicer way to go.

[@victoryak86]

I’d probably just use a power planer.

[@ZeroColdx911]

Could a trim router done the same job?

[@huejanus5505]

No, that’s a 1/2” bit, to big for a trim router.

[@ZeroColdx911]

@@huejanus5505 I’m sure they sell the same kind of bit in a smaller shank

[@huejanus5505]

@@ZeroColdx911 They do, but cutting through 1.5” of wood with a trim router is a little sketchy.

[@victoryak86]

Why not use a power planer set not too deep? It’s all getting covered

[@driveman6490]

A million ways to skin a cat........ +1

[@95thousandroses]

guess I don't see the advantage over a powerplaner.

[@dylancocca1770]

power planer needs multiple passes would be a waste of time walking back and forth

[@aaronoconnor606]

Agreed the flush trim bit is much easier to use in this application power planer wont reference the other joist the same way

[@glendavis1266]

Why not tear out old joists and replace with what you want. Seems simpler!
