Can these screws be used to attach cypress to 14 gauge 2.5in steel frame tubing in a metal bldg?
@NextLevelCarpentry2 жыл бұрын
I'm sure they can but you'll probably need to do a bit of trial and error to get it to work consistently. As a rule of thumb, the thicker the steel, the larger the pilot hole. That's because in thicker steel the screw's threads aren't really cutting threads into the hole as much as they are deformed by compression. To see what I mean, drive a screw in so it grabs and seats and then remove it. There won't be much for threads in the inside of the hole but threads on the screw will be mashed down considerably. Keep in mind that it doesn't really take much for the screw to hold wood to steel strong enough so that if you try to pull a board off the screw head pulls through the wood but the screw sticks in the steel. Do some experimenting to find the smallest size hole that screws can be driven into consistently without breaking the screw or stripping its head. BTW I'm trying to source about 300~400 board feet of 4/4 cypress for a project and can't find anyone locally to supply it. Where are you getting yours? A source would be greatly appreciated!

What many don't realize and many more do, is that trim screws, all weather deck screws, even the E.G. (gold) drywall type are case hardened steel (actually, the black phosphate drywall screws are too), or a fully hardened steel. This is a pretty old trick and works well. With the right sized pre-drill the screws are hard enough to cut their own threads. How do you know they're hardened? Drive one into a scrap of wood about 1/3 to 1/2 of the screw length and bend it over with a hammer. It'll break off either on the initial bend force or when you straighten it, you won't get it to bend twice. Denotes a hardened steel. Try it.

I wouldn't recommend use of the same screws for holding the panels on from the back Chris. It takes a large screw diameter to hold in soft wood like cedar and redwood because you only get about 5/8" screw depth when attaching 3/4" ~ 13/16" thick panels from the back side so I use #12 or #14 stainless steel pan head screws for projects that require 'invisible' fasteners. I considered them for this project but the it was cost prohibitive because of extra time for planning, layout, drilling and assembly. Plus all the rest of the siding on the structure will be attached with torx drive trim screws too, so a precedent was set. Thanks for watching and commenting on this video! Best, Matt

Hi Matt, I’m new to your channel and just found this video helpful for attaching wood shelves to a 3/4” square tubing framed liquor display that I’m building. That said, I’d like to ask your thoughts on another part of my project… I am using 16 ga mild steel sheets (hot rolled, I think) as a backsplash for my above referenced liquor display, and need to attach directly to bare SPF 2x4 framing. I finished said sheets to a high gloss antique “mercury” mirror look and want to find a way to cover or hide all attachment method(s) and seams. This is a commercial bar application, so I coated sheets with an oil based poly and I will have to thoroughly seal all seams in compliance with health code standards. Currently, my thought is to cut(rip) sheets to hide joints behind my shelves (1^1/2” total width of shelves), attach with wood screws close enough to edges to also hide behind shelves, and seal joints with silicone caulk. While this would hide my seams well enough, I don’t know how to get screw heads out of the way to make sure display sits flat against the wall. Not sure if I can countersink so close to edges or at all with metal this thin. I’m a woodworker gal, so my knowledge of metal and wood/metal combo is novice at best and I’m sure that that there are options that I don’t know to consider. Any advice that you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
@NextLevelCarpentry2 жыл бұрын
It's hard to answer your question confidently without a complete understanding of the design/installation but because you mention bare 2x4 stud framing, my first reaction is to advise using something like contact cement to glue your steel sheet to a substrate like 1/2" OSB or MDF sheet, otherwise I think seams between studs would be a nightmare to seal and get to look right. In that case you could leave the sheet 3/8" short of the panel edges where screws or nails could hold everything in place, sealed with silicone caulk and hidden behind your 1-1/2" thick shelves. Or you can match edges of steel and substrate panels and CAREFULLY countersink for flathead screws that would hold steel to substrate to studs leaving only a metal to metal seam to seal. There may well be a better design for the installation and fastening but that gets into the overall scope of the project... Good luck... sounds like an interesting project!

Dear Matt, thanks for the tip. Hiding the screws certainly makes the final look more professional. One thing I have to point out is that your videos all look a little blurry. Could it be that the lens filter for your camera has picked up dust, paint or sandblasting marks? Changing the cover filter would be an easy fix to deliver sharp, crisp videos. Alternatively it’s the resolution of your camera or the resolution you compile your videos on your computer, like VGA vs HD or SHD. I miss some of the detail like when sanding Bondo on your video on preparing paint grade lumber for finishing. Cheers.
@NextLevelCarpentry2 жыл бұрын
If there's any clear shots in videos you're referring to then any 'blurry' clips you see are due to lighting, temporary dust on the lens or the fact that, because I shoot all the video myself, I need to do a lot of digital zooming, sometimes to as much as 200%, which tends to 'pixelate' video and decrease clarity. I only wish it was something cured as easily as a dusty lens😥
@petermarsh49932 жыл бұрын
@@NextLevelCarpentry Yes I see. The one example I can think of was when you were “zooming” in to the Bondo resin in wood where the close-up became pixellated. It’s not the camera zooming in, maintaining focus but your post-editing on a fixed focal length filming. I guess the only solution would be to have a dedicated camera operator who was doing the zooming live and maintaining focus and depth of field. That would be very expensive I would imagine. I find it hard enough to get say a good close-up of a plant or little animal but doing it in video, well that’s a whole level more difficult. What I do know is that other KZbin presenters have got this facet licked and it may be good to chat to them to see how they go about maintaining a crisp image at any focal depth. Cheers.

@NextLevelCarpentry3 жыл бұрын
Possible? Sure. Practical? I seriously doubt it. Economically feasible/sensible? No way. It's generally true that 'layered' wood (think LVL's and gluelam beams) are stronger than conventional, careful production control standards/practices need to be followed for consistent, reliable results. To make it strong/stronger would require properly engineered lamination with the right adhesive (like resourcinol glue?), etc, all of which go directly against practicality and economics.

@@NextLevelCarpentry structural studs can be as large as 12 ga. We had to predrill all holes in the studs hanging cabinets. A real pain. Lots of guys use the screws with a drill bit on the end so it's a one shot deal. Sheetrock hangers used them.

I did kind of the same thing when it comes to measurements and predrilling but I don't like the screws showing so I drilled the holes in the metal the same size as the screws and after drilling the holes in the metal I drilled the wood on from the.metal side using flat head screws so it's not only flat on the inside and outside but the the screws don't show and no one can unscrew the wood and come in and I think that's more important than how it looks.

Fastener choice/appearance is ultimately a matter of personal preference vs cost and, for this project, visibility of those tiny screw heads was the practical choice...

Sounds like you're missing the fact that every other video on KZbin (and common practice) uses TEK screws or self drilling hex head bolts whereas this video shows use of trim head screws commonly used for wood... other than than, you're not missing anything.
