Easy way of using shorter lengths to make one longer piece. Thanks.

Thank you for the concise video Phil. I’m a girl that’s building a chicken run from scrap 2x4s and this was very helpful

His quote: "Depends on how wide and how long your wood is, that will determine how deep you wanna go."

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Did I say that?

[@xlfive]

good information Phil,I was short of a 3x3 post for my porch lean to,I had some shorts lengths of 3x2 and a 4x1 ,a did the same as you and it's been supporting the roof for the last 3 years

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thanks Gaz 👍🏻 it's surprising how strong the joint is too. Plenty of strength for support. Saves buying new pieces too 👍🏻

[@baierjmeeroian5698]

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thank you Peter 👍🏻 yea actually it's becoming less of a choice and more of a necessity these days I think.

[@AB-C1]

Great video and demo! Been considering this for some time myself good to see it works before it take the time to do it!! Lol Just subscribed mate! Cheers from London 👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thank you very much glad to help 👍🏻

[@luisj.serrano5821]

Interesting. how would you do if you had to cut a long piece and then put it together again with the same length?

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thanks! Hmm I am not sure that could be a bit tricky.

[@kafka9627]

I want to enlongate the legs of my bed. Would this hold if i add shrink wrap?

[@PhillWyattProjects]

I probably would recommend doing this on interior furniture as it does leave a clean look. It's better for outdoor work or wood that's not on display. If you don't mind how it looks I guess it could work ok on bed legs as long as you get good glue contact on the joints for strength.

[@anthonyscinocca4380]

Curious if there would be enough strength joining three pieces of wood to make an 8- or 10-foot length of 2x4?

[@PhillWyattProjects]

I used this method this year to build a fence. I used 2 x 3 wood jointed together in this way spanning 11 feet. To make sure it stayed strong, I added some 45 degree supports in the corners. Actually you can check out a video I did about making it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXnWq3ybj9eUo6c

[@0143kenny]

Hi phil. Ive been given loads of 3x3 post 4ft lengths. Using your method will it be strong enough to build a small gazebo

[@PhillWyattProjects]

I would say yes it should be. Make one long post and give it a strength test I'm sure it will be plenty strong enough.

[@0143kenny]

@@PhillWyattProjects cheers...will do

[@chubbymunkey]

How suitable would this be for fence support & how strong is it? I'm building a fence using pallet wood as opposed to feathered Edge but I have several 4 metre long sections that I was considering using arris/cant boards for but the cost of timber(+delivery) is too high :(

[@PhillWyattProjects]

In my opinion they are strong and useful for fencing. One fence I made has been up almost 3 years now using lap jointed cross members. Spanning from one fence post to another I wouldn't go more than 8 feet or about 230cm. I find that if you do, Arris rail or 2 x 3 will bow over time.

[@garyclifton2180]

Brilliant the things that you don't think of lol

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Cheers Gary 👍🏻

[@helioroggenbaum4971]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇩🇪

[@MoranGuyVideos]

Nice video , but for sure this is not ideal when you need strength.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

If you need 100 percent strength then I understand your point although you would be surprised how strong these joints are. They are very strong once glued and screwed.

[@MoranGuyVideos]

@@PhillWyattProjects I'm sure and for a fence it can be good as well as for graden bed and so on. Not something structural in my opinion

[@PhillWyattProjects]

@@MoranGuyVideos yea I agree. I would advise to use a regular piece of wood for a structural job just to be on the safe side.
