Joiner’s Day in the Life | Finishing Windows In The Spray Booth (Ep1)

[@raydriver7300]

It is so obvious how much you enjoy doing what you do. I thought about you over the last couple of days saying “It only takes a few minutes to make a jig.” It’s taken me a day and cost me a fortune to buy a router bit. I truly am in awe of your talent Oliver 🌞

[@Blade1310]

Production values turned up a notch or two for this one Ollie! Very art-house ending. Great stuff as always.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks pal, Trying something new, see how it goes! :) Pleased you noticed and thanks for saying

[@tommyknightly1659]

Great work as always, videos and especially attention to detail.

[@brianlochrie3958]

You iz the man...... keep them coming... superb quality looking forward to the next video. Cheers 🍻

[@petebevan]

It really works having a camera man, the narration felt good before but it adds another level when there is someone you are actually talking to as well

[@scotts1716]

Things I look forward to most - Bradshaw and scott brown carpentry uploads! Youre making me better ollie. Scott - canadian cabinet maker 😊 Just picked up a new huepar laser! Woooo

[@ryanackland9330]

loving the new video format!👍👍

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Mate, just trying a few things out at the minute! Cheers for the feedback

[@tompenneck1501]

Absolute master class!!!

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Tom!

[@michaelplays2449]

Great video !!! Oliver........thanks

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks As always Michael!

[@liambrophy7574]

Like the bailing twine for hanging the bits

[@BradshawJoinery]

You know its a farmer job when the twine is involved.

[@jacobwootton]

Hi oli. What size tip and air cap are you using? Thanks

[@BradshawJoinery]

11 thou for everything pretty much, ive not found much difference betweent he blue and red aircaps, wagner gm4700.. red is for solvent but think i acutally prefer it for WB

[@kevocos]

Timely upload for me, I've removed a dozen sash windows in my victorian refurb, currently repairing them in preparation for painting! I'm a carpenter by trade but looking to start spraying my own work, (unfortunately gone through some terrible painters and decorators in the past). I'm sold on Anker Stuy paints, but do you think they can be sprayed with a cheap HVLP sprayer? I don't want to invest in a pro level sprayer until I've made mistakes/learnt with a cheap machine first. Keep up the great work.

[@jimgeelan5949]

Getting to know you over the years I’ll bet you found it really hard to let somebody else do the filming 😊 but wow the same standards are being upheld and the music cover is brilliant. Im hoping it’s someone that come to you and said give me a chance, ill do your video and lets see how it goes.

[@BradshawJoinery]

THanks Jim, Yeah you got it about right. Hoping to build a regular upload on youtube and some instructional/skills/knowledge on a website behind a small paywall in the future

[@jonathanhasmail]

A very timely video, I’ve just collected 50m+ each of some machined MDF board and three individual sections of tulipwood for some mock Victorian architraves for my renovation project. Does my memory serve me correctly that you use the Mighton high build primer for interior woodwork priming? If so, do you rate it? The MDF is looking a little furry where it’s been rounded over and I’m looking for something to stabilise that and hopefully help get a smooth finish… cheers.

[@BradshawJoinery]

I dont, I use Kortec for interior enamel, depending if spraying or brush final coat they will suggest a paint to suit you and they are the very best quality

[@ProMunkie]

Dude you’re a legend - I look forward to every video you produce. Great move to get Ali to help with the filming and production! QQ if you can, how do you tackle Part-Q / PAS24 for a refurb?

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Mate, I have moved away from exterior joinery (but still do select bits) i tend to work on older buildings, that the client will either keep for a very long time or they understand they will need an indemnity policy come sale. (Or go through BC approval for the install.) I know joiners who have gone down the PAS 24 route, its not too bad, but i moved away from exterior joinery as Whole window u values and Part q regs started being introduced along with getting bored of folk wanting plastic window prices for highly skilled work, along with every install seemingly getting rained on, i lost the love of it. . For the limited amount i do, the client will either accept that it wont be PAS 24 and Part L or i don't do it. No building inspector has looked at my joinery and complained about it yet. Usually incredibly happy to see nice work.

[@ProMunkie]

@ a really insightful reply, thanks mate! And, absolutely the right thing to do - your work is best in class.

[@Quaker521]

Great to see your painting workflow Ollie. Q. - Do you not get any problems with the heater/blower moving dust around? Cheers.

[@BradshawJoinery]

The airflow is good, and not generally speaking, It not the dryest of rooms, so i think that helps. id love a better setup soon

[@paulcrane2010]

Superb. Mind me asking what end grain sealer you use ? Thanks

[@BradshawJoinery]

Always the sikkens end grain and v groove (clear is way better) thank me later

[@paulcrane2010]

@ thanking you now 😃👍🏻

[@kevinbland3516]

Hi Ollie, Whats the Art No. on the wurth filler please I can't see it on the website, I use a lot of there stuff and find them great and have been trying to find a decent pre-mixed filler for a while now, one strike seems to be a bit powdery some times. Cheers Kev

[@BradshawJoinery]

ask the rep for 1 part wood filler, its weird stuff, dries really quick when thin. can be hard to sand bigger bits Its very like this one amzn.to/4ib5FzF i don't use it much, usually when its only a few small fills, or on some painted bits where the 2k melts the paint

[@Kevin-tk9tr]

Cheers

[@Wattsjoinerybarn]

Really interesting to see you setup. I am just about to build a new spray room but want to build the booth rather than buy! Is your booth a self build ? If so what size fan?

[@BradshawJoinery]

i bought a £3k booth from richmond spray booths, but they come up regular on woskhop dispersals cheap if you are prepared to remove them

[@Wattsjoinerybarn]

@ thanks. Yes seem quite a few fairly cheap 2nd hand, tbh it’s more trying to deal with the shape of the room I want to put it in. Do you ever need to shut yours off to the drying area or do you leave it open all the time?

[@BradshawJoinery]

@ the drying area is separated yeah

[@jasonhughes6994]

What brand of paint do u use.

[@BradshawJoinery]

THis was Ankerstuy through Mighton Products

[@jasonhughes6994]

@BradshawJoinery waterborne

[@BradshawJoinery]

@@jasonhughes6994 Yeha. only use solvent for high gloss or interior lacquer now

[@jasonhughes6994]

Can i ask u if you ever use it for kitchen cabinets or as a 2k, or would u trust it enough to do so.

[@BradshawJoinery]

@@jasonhughes6994 id go for waterbourne enamel every time on a handmade kitchen. Especially brushed finish. I dont like the primers, but the topcoats are rock solid under normal use

[@markfiges999]

I hate paint and varnising, worst part of the job.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Yes its not the most enjoyable part, but it adds alot of value and work to each job so need less turnover of work/clients in a year!

[@clarkpiper6007]

@@BradshawJoinery I'm doing woodwork carpentry with only waterbased finish brushed on, or linseed oil rubbed on. It's not worth the airborn hazard to spray oilbased finish or paint. I brush on paint sometimes for exterior work because it's so much easier to complete paint grade woodwork on the exterior than it is to have finishe grade lumber on the exterior. But being 26 with several years of carpentry and woodwork experience, I must say that some things, such as safety, are more important than industrial building materials which are hazardous. TBH I enjoy not needing a respirator on the job, but I need to get the dust collection on the topside of my table saw better because sawdust is too much there. Nice skill Bradshaw Jointery, and nice comment @markfiges999

[@bchdsailor]

Another educating video well worth enjoying

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou! Appreciate the feedback
