Fixing timber to brickwork using nylon 'frame type' fixings ***TIP***

[@denty32]

Great tip Del. They say you are never to old to learn and at 50 I’m differently having that one 👏👏

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Mark. I'm sure you've drilled into a perp before and the fixing hasn't taken😬 (I certainly have). Using these 10mm fixings, at least give you a better chance if you hit a hollow perp joint👊 Thanks for you comment and your support😎 Cheers

How have I missed that little gem, great tip, my dad used to store his screws in a jar with 3 in1 oil for lube, I spray my screws while in the box with WD 40 👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Mark. I'm not precious about what I use as lube😮 I only use silicone spray as I use it for lots of other things as well👊Cheers

[@paulhad69]

Less stress in any job is a good tip,using silicon spray brilliant idea will give it a go👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Paul. It really does make a massive difference to the amount of effort needed to drive in the screw when its lubricated👊 Thanks for watching👍

Many years ago my father in law was doing something similar and came into the kitchen and asked if we had any butter! Spread it onto the screws and went back outside…job done! He was using a Yankee at the time (shows how long ago) but if he’d asked I’m sure we had some WD20 in the shed 😂

Hi Iain. During my apprenticeship, I worked with a couple of old timers who had various pots and jars of wax/lard to dip screws into🤩 Thanks for watching and your great comment 😎

It's pretty simple Kevin, but can save the frustration of a wasted fixing👍 Thanks for watching 😎

[@axecarpenter6775]

We all use these fixings and they work great if you are careful I always drive mine in with a brace and bit as I find you get better control . However be aware that for a structural timber such as the one shown many building inspectors will not accept them . Normally its something like a 12mm bolt with a washer ,with between 80mm and 100mm penetration at a maximum of 500mm centres (0.41 for a floor trimmer) either all along the centre line or staggered .

Hi AC🖐Actually, resin anchors are my preferred fixing of choice for these type of applications, but fortunately, the BCO was fine with these type of fixings👊Thanks for your comment😎Cheers Del

Nice one Del, being be a Bricky I generally know where the solid bit of the brick is so aim for that, my Dad always had a jar of lard for his screws, slot heads pre Yankee Screwdriver how things have changed. 👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there. Blimey, I remember having to put all my slot head screws in by hand when I was starting out😵 Anything that reduces friction is always helpful😝 Thanks for watching Del

Have you ever used Tapcon screws T.C? They are my go to fixing when I need to fix wood to concrete or brick, 👍🔨🇮🇪

Hi TN. I've never used them as they are not readily available. I've used concrete screws, but they are not my favourite😬 Thanks for watching 😎

Hi Del, I was just wondering what your opinion is on using these plug and screw fixings in the video compared to the thunderbolt style fixing I've seen used alot? I'm only asking as I am curious if you have used them and what your opinion was in comparison?

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Adam. If I'm being brutally honest, I don't like those type of fixings at all for the kind of work I do😬 When U have used them, they never seem to pull the timber tight to whatever I'm trying to fix it to. I think people think, because the fixing keeps pulling into the wood, that must be pulling the timber against what you're trying to fix to. In reality, it's the threads on the fixing biting into the wood that keeps it being pulled in as they only require a single size drill for installation. In the right application/substrate, they are great, but I think they have become popular outside these applications due to how easy they to use.👊 (and they are cheap). That's just my opinion, and I know lots of people swear by them. Thanks for your question😎

[@adamshaw5817]

@@thetallcarpenter thats a really good explanation and it's made me think a little more now of when and where is best to use them. Thank you very much for replying. Just wanna say I'm still really enjoying all your videos and the garden room looks amazing 👏 Thank you.
