Build Update: Cascading Corners || Dr Decks

[@burrr1047]

Not many people would admit mistakes, it’s unbelievably refreshing to see and shows that you care and you’re honest. Thanks for the post and showing us that mitered corner. Will definitely be using that one. Deck is looking amazing guys, keep up the great work, can’t wait to see it complete!

[@drdecks]

Thanks Bear!

I had a rough day at work today messing up a splayed staircase. Thank you for showing me that even the best mess up from time to time.

Do you do folded miters on the thinner fascia as well? (I can't find any of your videos with an example.)

[@penney304]

Just came across your videos, nice to see a good hard working crew in action. I'm a semi retired carpenter so I've been there. One of the most satisfying feelings is seeing a project come together, and know you were a part of it. You and your guys seem to get along, sometimes it can be hard to find good people to do this kind of work. So pay them well. Hope y'all have many successful years ahead and enjoy each day you are blessed with... I've found this tool to be very useful in my work. A Starrett 505-7 Miter Saw Protractor. About 17 bucks on Amazon... #1 most important thing, Safety!

Thank You!

So I just started working for “the Composite Guys” so believe me I enjoy your videos. But your brutal honesty about using the wrong size boards made me a fan. We all make a few blunders on the job site from time to time and for you to document it gained ALL my respect. Keep em comin I cant get enuff

[@drdecks]

We try to be as real as possible -djsm

You are an true artist! I love your attention to detail and the high end service you provide. I’m sure your invoices reflect that 😂. I build decks in Virginia and we have such extreme temperatures it’s a continuous battle to keep things looking good year around. Azek is what we use most. Winters down to the teens and summers 100+ heat index. I really like the miter fold tip you provided and the other video with the solid edge sliver glued to the end grain. I just did a waterfall bench with a miter cut and ca glue and I think I’m gonna do it over with your fold method. Are your butt joints on long band wrap/fascia butted, scarfed, half lapped? Do you have any tips to keep that looking foot with this temp swing? I love you man!

[@trshuster]

Your projects seem to go like mine do. Keep your chin up. I'm enjoying the content and your crew. We can always learn something new. Thanks for taking the time.

[@drdecks]

I appreciate your comments. Sorry I haven't replied, I just opened you tube on my computer and BLAM!

[@AjGalloway95]

Been LOVING the 2p since I got it. Use it on everything now😂

[@peternelson9865]

Have you ever tried the heat gun on the cut edges to have it look like a factory finish

[@douglasmichel6361]

Why do you not use a scarf joint at butt joints? If it and when it opens you still see material and not the tape. Just curious…. Keep sliding along on a great build….

[@douglasmichel6361]

Use a Freud 45 deg router bit with 1/2” shank in a jig for those miters, you don’t get the blade kerf leftover in the vertex. Obviously not good on off angle miters.

[@drdecks]

That’s the only reason I’ve held off because of all the crazy angles we do

[@robcappa]

I live in Yakima, man I would love to work with you for a day or 75. You have some amazing projects.

[@CCT.8B]

WHAT!? I wish I knew about the heat gun!!! Nice!!!

[@markprostor]

Ever use 2P-10 on TimberTech Legacy composite?

[@mattfleming7698]

Have you tried this with the thinner wider azek deck board? We always miter them but they never stay good and tight

[@drdecks]

Matt Fleming we have not but thanks for asking

[@kubectlgetpo]

Man, that looks like Seattle

[@eddiemonroe9317]

Hey great video Brother Say im doing a deck using Azek 2x6x16 i need to bend around pool coping curved corner could i use a heat gun i cant afford a silicone heat blanket do you have a ideas thank you

[@drdecks]

Eddie Monroe you need the blankets. A heat gun won’t do it. Thanks

[@drdecks]

Wait and invest in the blankets.

[@eherby]

I’m a child, but at least I’m fun

[@baba-sm1fm]

What type of saw blade did you use to make the V notch??thanks!

[@kevinblanchard611]

Cnc water jet

[@scottbertrand2057]

There’s nothing more frustrating then not having all ur tools in ur pouch when u need it. Just curious do u fellas wear a pouch or it’s just not needed

[@proficientbuilders3565]

I think a triplechip blade would work better. The blade has two angles on the tooth giving a centerpoint. Every third tooth is triple chip on the blade. Diablo makes them.

[@drdecks]

Roger that

[@mikestolba1838]

Skip that stabila digital angle gauge and get a starrett miter gauge. It will give you your single or double cut angles dead on accurate with no math on your part.

[@bigdaddy4975]

If you put a flat blade in that saw it won’t leave that v groove

[@Britineeng]

Boy your camera man is really bad.. love the info your giving

[@stevenfoust3782]

All professionals make “practice “ pieces. Carpentry is a practice just like the medical profession, only we feel the pain not the “patient “. We didn’t get to see the end result of all your practicing though.

[@drdecks]

We’re currently changing up our format to have one build update per week to be more inclusive with the build progress. We don’t have a budget to film on site every day yet. Thanks for watching and subscribing

[@dennismartin3562]

At $4 a foot…. Pain will educate you!
