Ep. 33 - Spraying varnish on my plywood - Tiny House Build Update

[@TheBosun21]

As someone who works on Private Yachts I can say your attention to detail, engineering design and forethought is up there with the best I’ve ever seen. Loved watching your channel from the micro and all the way through this build, your persistence without compromise is amazing!

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

Mate. I have to say that's one of the nicest compliments I have had. Thank you, that means a lot. Dad had a saying don't be a tradesman, be a craftsman. So grateful you have been along on the whole journey. Were on the home stretch for this one and it's been a crazy journey. I can't wait to look back over it. Thanks for coming along

[@welcome_123]

The level of maxness you've delivered for every single component of this build is outstanding, the final finishes you persist with to ensure perfection demands appreciation.

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

Haha greatness doesn't come from cutting corners. I'm paying for the commitment to details but it brings me so much joy when it comes together

[@rob1971]

🙌🏼 It's really coming together now Phil - you should be really happy with what you've achieved so far!

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

It really is. We are on the home stretch. I am very happy with how it's coming together. So exciting to see final surfaces take shape. 🙌

[@angiejones5918]

🙌 I won't complain about re-oiling my kitchen worktops! That's a lot of careful work but it's paid off - looks great from here.

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

Haha that can be a very unpleasant task though so I feel your pain. But I would trade that for sanding a ceiling haha 🙌

[@brokeandbalding]

🙌 It's clear to see that you wood not like to sand and ap-ply more varnish to the ceilings. The walls are looking nice now. Keep up the awesome work. Still following and will try to ply or coat as many puns as I can into the comments. Sometimes I just hit a wall and need to be clear with myself that there are no more surfaces to cover.

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

Haha whoa you really a-ply-ed yourself to those puns. I am so glad you did that. Love that you are still on the journey my friend. 👐

[@billpar]

🙌 still amazing , you have to be one of the fastest talkers , Im from NY and we do everything fast but you have us beat , love the videos and the talent behind them can't wait to see more , many Blessings

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

Haha. Got stuff to do. Can't waste time talking. Ha no I just try to cram so much into these videos without making them too long, dragging them out and boring people to death. And, than you I appreciate you following along 👐

[@Erika-gm2tf]

🙌 looks amazing. Brass trim is lovely.

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

OMG the brass trim is absolutely my favorite. It has cost me a small fortune in time and money but I love it. It is a key feature of this house and brings me so much joy. 🙌

[@rosscoexplores]

🙌 awesome work Phil 🙌

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

🙌 thank you

[@CNile-se9xw]

You're a champion. There's no way I could spray that ceiling without suffering a week of mega pain, even at my long-gone peak. I'd have hit my card up for a Graco Magnum Airless system with a 90º flex nozzle after the first half hour. 😉

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

Haha honestly the spraying wasn't bad because it was quick... the sanding on the other hand. I actually borrowed this gun off a mate. Wasn't exactly right but it got it out and onto the ply, and saved me buying or hiring one. I am just glad it's over

[@CNile-se9xw]

@@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse, I have a confession. I had the mother-of-all seniors moments when I posted my comment. I knew the sanding was the tough part, but I had the spray equipment idea, it took over & I forgot all about the sanding. 🙄 I might lose the key to my brain at times, but it's all good, I'm the happiest bloke in the world. 👍❤👍 Cheers mate

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

😂😂 happens to the best of us

[@leo169]

Like how the wood is still quite light, anything with some colour will really pop. Did a place with polyurethaned pine many years ago, it ended up much darker inside than I expected. 👐

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

Yeah, it has come up as a really nice base for the house. I didn't want it to be a feature, just a nice backdrop with a gentle grain. Also why I went with Birch, it has a much softer grain. Were you using an oil based poly? They will create a really heavy amber hue over your piece and will darken over time. With age it can leave pine looking very amber and dark. Water is really good for not doing this. And waters are getting really strong now. I remember back in the day they just didn't wear the same but now they really hold up. I would be hard pressed to use an oil based these days. 👐

[@leo169]

@@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse Yes it was a oil based poly and as you say has really darkened up over time. This was in late 1980's, I can't be sure but don't recall that a decent water based poly was even an option then.

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

Oh yeah back then there wouldn't really have been any water based. I remember using them late nineties but were not very durable them. I think it was late 2000s that they really started to get good.

[@stevenlane729]

Looks fantastic 👏

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

Thank you my friend.

[@DebbieBalcombe-wm8hq]

👐 Love your videos!

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

👐 Thank you Debbie

[@mightandbelightnr2290]

So cool 😊

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

Thank you. Coming together now.

[@mauriziocanale1669]

BRAVO

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

Thank you 🙏

[@backpackeradam]

🙌 :)

[@walkwellbrother9090]

is the varnish acrylic? I cannot find information about it but I would like to get something similar here in europe (cabot's not available :( )

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

Look for a water based polyurethane. In particular a floor finish. I am yet to see how it fairs over time. It seems like UV might be affecting it under my skylight. I can see slight cracking. But the UV is really harsh there and I am looking to use some tint on the window. Everywhere else is fine.

[@cryptoscalpers9603]

"time for a build update"........are you sure?.....thought you left the planet

[@TwoHandsandaTinyHouse]

Haha what? The last build update was two weeks ago. Although before that there were some big gaps 😂.
