My Tips for Installing a Plywood Wall

[@sparx2391]

Nice job, its good to see that you leave the mistakes in, everyone makes them, but not everyone admits it.

[@ObiwanNekody]

There is an easy way to never make mistakes with a particular trade... You just never do it.

[@scoutdaley]

I love how you do all these cool transitions and camera movements. Seems like you enjoy playing around with cinematography and not just lumber.

[@etchels85]

JR Daley I liked when he was sliding the ply out the van

[@Timmenerst]

I love how you just put in the attention to detail. Loads of respect!

[@rowalte2]

Thank you for showing your mistake. I'm an amateur that is learning and I screw up all the time. It is really refreshing to see that mistakes happen and can be corrected before moving on.

[@ericoxford7069]

Thank you for including your mistake in this video. I'm a machinist by trade and I know all to well when working with angles it's easy to make a mistake, but many people won't admit to a mistake. I truly believe that if someone never makes a mistake it means that they've never done anything. Cheers!

He's not from New Zealand. He's Australian

[@BrandonGrantSplash]

you've made me realise how bad I put the plywood in my garage time to redo it it I guess. I also love it when you talk about the skirting as I done that at the beginning of my college course so it was great seeing the skills taught being used as I can watch along.

[@instantalbums]

Did you use screws to attach plywood to studs or nail gun? I think he used a nail gun.

[@gll1947]

I'm a carpenter and those tricky plywood cutouts are always so satisfying when you nail 'em

[@itzchaza65]

Hey dude just Wanted to say love the vids I am an apprentice and me and my dad watch u every lunchtime keep it up bro 👍🏻

[@oceanzmat]

The mistakes are gold. Thank-you Scott, for keeping them in, showing us even the pros make them, and that that's how we all learn and get better. Love the shout out to Finish Carpentry as well.

[@cgws3064]

Please come to Wales where it’s constantly tipping down with rain and help me finish my garage. I decided to batten, plasterboard and tape but the walls are so out then the plasterboard is all over the place. Now I want to ply over it all. Lovely work! Very jealous of ...climate, joinery skills, tools , but not 🏉 rugby . Keep it coming Scott!

[@351bill]

Awesome finish work Scott the sign of a skilled worker who cares about his jobs

[@abbii1661]

it is much nicer to see you corrected the mistakes.

[@niccarpy]

You really have got to appreciate a neat and tidy finished job 👏

[@pauls4708]

your attention to detail is very refreshing!

[@zoolook888]

If only other carpenters could be as professional... the attention to detail is amazing ...AND you could have deleted the minor error, but kudos for keeping it in! ...nice one!

[@waynenixon729]

I'd probably never bump into you, I'm all the way from the UK. Just glad to get your tricks and tips as you do amazing things with plywood. Very skillful and much appreciated, thanks!

[@ouagadougou62]

Pretty fancy mouldings for a garage! Great job as usual.

[@JohnColgan.]

I love the way you use the chop saw for coping instead of back cut with coping saw. I've seen another way of sliding the coped edge into a low revealed table saw. Isn't it better to have the coped piece left side of your corner joint & securely fixed both ends. The right hand leaf inserts into the cope,but fixed securely right edge. Left edge allowed to move with shrinkage, but still hidden behind the cope.

[@festival3rocker]

your trim work was amazing - really enjoyed every minute of this video!

[@anthonyj4933]

Always excited to see your videos out from Trinidad 🇹🇹

[@bigwill4978]

It's good that you showed your mistake and also showed how you fixed it! I think some people assume you don't make mistakes like everyone else but it's good that you don't edit them out of your videos!

[@billiciousss]

This dude is a pro!! Awesome tips and tricks!!

[@piratejimmeh]

Top man for showing the mistakes with the ply, best way for people to learn is to see mistakes and then see how you fix them! Problem solving at its best bro! Chur

Nothing is more rewarding than sitting to have my breakfast coffee watching an educational and entertaining episode of Scott Brown Carpentry.

[@dbayboyds409]

I really appreciate that time you’ve put in to this video. It’s great and I learned a lot. Thank you

[@HootMaRoot]

That's the only way to do internal corners it's a great trick. a friend of mine had shown it to me 20+ years ago and still use it now

[@alant84]

It's much easier than dealing with mitres, but does it not mean that the board with the little triangle on it sits slightly higher off the floor (by an amount equal to the thickness of the triangle)? It's probably a negligible amount, and I think cutting a matching triangle (sort of like a half lap joint) of the piece already on the wall would solve it, but just wondered if I'm overlooking something.

[@HootMaRoot]

@@alant84 you cut out a triangle on the piece its joining so you don't have a raised lip on it

[@solidsnayyke1914]

Great videos. Very humble and learning from your mistakes. Much love from Canada

Hi Scott, I am enjoying your videos, it won't belong until episode 300, keep going strong and keep safe and well.

[@robertunderwood6788]

Nice smooth casual background music there. Oh and the woodworking was nice too.

[@dominioncrowntv5197]

I'm becoming a better carpenter because of your videos! That inside miter trick was awesome for square stock. Cheers from North Carolina 👊

[@michaelwood3825]

Scott, with the changes to the building rules in NZ, could you do a tips for building a 30m2 building. Some key things that us DIY/hammer hands need to consider? It potentially could be old footage compiled to bring those tips together would be awesome. Love your work mate, you've motivated me to get serious about my tools but also take a renewed interest in carpentry. Thank you!

[@joek.2132]

Love your videos dude, I always learn something from them.

[@freshofbreathair1476]

Like for the scribing of where it buts up against the jagged house wall. Now I've got to go and redo mine properly.

Wow~ You are one of honest experts....

[@MattGlynn]

Brilliant work, currently doing a shed build and this will be happening on the inside for sure. Your videos have helped out a load thank you!

[@home-space]

I always do the internal corners as mitres. But I can see when using those types of sloped bevels your way could produce a cleaner joint without having to use woodfiller

[@brianjenkins9349]

Kinda envious of your attention to detail. Wish I had enough patience for it. Well done!

Amazing work - nice video. Love that no taping / mud is needed to seal seams. Nails didn’t look that noticeable. My thought is that I’d want to run outlets, etc first as it would be difficult later - prob would need to remove full sheets.

[@mitchelljc2010]

I have a huge appreciation for you showing mistakes made along the way. Call me an amateur carpenter or maybe a cheapskate, I love to take on projects myself and some mistakes can have me really defeated at times. Time for me to hit the red button, thanks again!

Greetings from Holland. 🇳🇱 Latvian guy here. 🇱🇻🙋🏻‍♂️ (I am working with dutch carpenters Festool is here everywhere, but i'm the Makita guy) 😃😉 God bless!

[@aaronbuildsa]

I've been sucked in and am binge watching your content .. my favourite thing is when skilled people leave their mistakes in, so kudos for doing that (you know the bit)! I ply-lined my previous garage (which was a pre-fab concrete sectional affair, I've no doubt you'll have seen them when you were in the UK) and that meant notching the ply to go around *so many* bits of steelwork.. There were definitely a few notches that ended up in the wrong place when I used the wrong datum to measure from! But you make hauling 8x4 (I assume?) sheets of ply around look a lot easier than I did..

[@aaronbuildsa]

Actually that's a point - in the UK our sheets are 8' by 4', even though we're all metric (so they are 2440mm x 1220mm) - south of the equator are they still the same, or do you get a real metric sheet of say 2000 x 1000?

[@Ampersand00]

That coping trick seems obvious now, having seen it, but it's utterly genius - what a great time saver!

[@friendlyrooster1]

Question from Canada: Don't you guys staple vapour barrier over your insulation prior to installing plywood/drywall?

[@josephdestaubin7426]

FYI, the DeWalt DW 780 is designed such that the slotted insert could be adjusted to zero clearance. Personally, I like just useing a wooden zero clearance. Either way I think she'll be happy with the results if you make that insert a zero clearance.

[@ljones396]

A jack mitre would work well on that profile skirting, saving you having a tiny thin nib on the top. Nice work on the plywood Scott, always a pleasure 👍🏻😎

[@paulmcfadyen689]

Just had to Google Jack mitre, it's what we in the uk would call a masons mitre. This would only work on the flat...scribing is essentially the same thing but standing up

[@ljones396]

@@paulmcfadyen689 I'm also from the UK, well, I'm Welsh. I misspoke, what I meant was a jack cope. You may see Mar doing these on his carpentry_bymar Instagram. You mitre the top portion and cope the rest, otherwise you always have that coped bevel sticking up slightly on the adjacent piece / may even fur in MDF e.g, or snap off completely during fitting. Jack cope leaves you with a stronger piece, a flush cope/mitre. Its not an internal mitre, only the top portion.

[@ljones396]

@@paulmcfadyen689 knew there was a vid somehwere. instagram.com/p/BxGk5DYnuY2/?igshid=dw5g8fk4pw6h avoids having really delicate pieces, they never sit flush anyway. Also applies to modern grooved/rebated skirting when coping.

[@andyoliver5140]

hey mate, should you have done some framing in the wall so that the second sheet of ply had proper fixing? or was it not totally necessary because the ply wall is decorative, i had to do a similar task with fyreline gib in a firewall for a duplex in the roof space too, good fun 👍 great content as always tho scott

[@jjgrant6711]

Andy Oliver fyreline specs that it must have solid blocking behind everysheet join and edge to meet the fire rating but the ply wall he is doing is only decorative so as long as it has sufficient fixing to hold the sheet of ply its all good

Hi Scott, a bit late to the party for this video, but what thickness of ply did you use to line your garage? Is it bracing ply? I have a new 60m2 art studio shed and I thought what you did here looked awesome.

[@Gottesacker86]

Scott, great work as usual. Like others have said, it’s always nice to see, even with how great your work is, that you still slip up too once in a while. On a separate note, how do you like those Hikoki finish nailers? I bought their framing gun this last July based on watching mostly your use of different guns. Been thinking about switching my DeWalt finishers out for Hikoki.

[@bf3949]

Scribing: marking to measure to remove: don’t forget to account for blade thickness and on which side of your mark to cut. 2-3 mm’s is noticeable to builders, not so much the customer. But when they DO notice, it’s all bad! “That’s for the Seasonal Thermal Expansion Variances”. ;)
