Your very lucky that your dad can help you out on you place. My dad could not even figure out how to use a screw driver. I took wood working metal fabrication and auto mechanics in high school to be able to do these things on my own. I had a 30 x 60 ft. shop with all the machines you could dream about. I made furniture, bowls, gun stocks, toys and a whole array of wood products. Also made tools, metal benches, racks, etc. then I broke my back while Elk hunting by one crazy horse. I still do some of the shop work that I can get around on a wheelchair . I am 73 and love to make things till the day I die for sure. Love your channel and the work you show you doing. Be sure to do it as long as you can.

" your fault, my fault, nobody's fault " when it works it works when it dont the it does not work. but if it works leave at alone until you learn of a better improvement weigh the best pros and cons. accentuate the pluses and minimize the minus. after a bain fart. the nail might be a ring shanked shingle nail. small head.smooth finish brad type nails do not work. for pvc plastic finish trim or facia board use galvanized or stainless steel medium headed nails. i prefer stainless that is true stainless because some stainless is not stain less. miter joints need pvc glue. no pin nails. otherwise it voids all manufacture warranties. i prefer chip board because of lower cost of r11. but if i found r11 at aspenite or osb ( oriented straind board chipboard. to many options and the best option is dry tongue and groove boards that i could make or buy. the constant battle of time and money battle. when you have no time you spend more money. when you have to money you have to spend more time. and willie of the nelson family sings in song honey if you have the money i have the time. if you run out of money i run out of time. hay is for horses better for cows and pigs and piggly wigglies don't know how. but willie nelson is a hillbilly and he performs at the grand old opry in the good state of tennessee usa. keep working nathan. do what you think is right.

Yes SIR!!! You are correct!!! I'm 46, woodworking for almost 30, I LOVE IT!!!! The generation you spoke of is incredible!!! I was once told...."the techniques we're showing you will be dead and gone soon, all the old folks like me are kickin it and all the young ones like you, don't care to learn them!" I was told that while working with a BRILLIANT custom furniture shop!! I was also told, "Everything you know, is wrong!" Most would take serious offense to that, especially after more than a decade of learning to be a furniture maker! Instead, I told him, teach me the 'right' way then!!! THEY DID!!!!! That's one of the reasons I love your channel!! I see a LOT of the good stuff that shop taught me, in all the things you do here on OTW!!! Stick with it brother, love what you do!!!!! P.S. yeah, those Kapex mitre saws are STUPID expensive!!!!! They are also crazy awesome saws!!!! If you ever get the chance to upgrade, it is well worth the cost! I promise you that, and that DeWalt saw will hold it's value for resale or just to move it to the WoodMizer room......

So, why do I watch channels like yours? It’s quite simple. You, and many others like you give me hope that the generations that follow may carry on, work hard and fulfill your dreams.

T1-11 Looks awesome as it ages with patina, as it ages, later maybe clear coat spray

[@mstrdiver]

@@texasjetman- Nathan two suggestions with the T-11 siding. Consider running a bead of construction glue down the center stud of each sheet to combat the insulation's tendency to make the sheet bulge outward. Second - consider using HD's Behr exterior [deck] stain as opposed to paint, as the siding is so dry it wicks up paint like water even when using a priming sealer. The Behr stair is thicker and although it penetrates, it only goes in so far and seals while protecting. Plus, it comes in variety of colors so you can pick which ever one flips your switch. Anyway - just my two cents and ignore the naysayers, you are making great progress. Stay safe and healthy.

[@jeffffro7674]

@@mstrdiver the only problem I've found with that siding, I've heard it called 'smart siding' not too sure about that....lol, it has quite a few teeny tiny voids made during manufacturing, the insects find these holes very quickly, and now, the birds have realized that the insects are there and hiding!!! So now, we have birds being taught by others to look here for food!!! NOT GOOD!! Nathan using it indoors, seems to me to be the only acceptable use of it, seeing as there aren't too many birds indoors!

[@texasjetman]

@@jeffffro7674 yes I’ve seen some patches in voids on some sheets. I’ve also had a few 4x8 sheets actually de-laminate along the seams in outside extreme heat. They were only painted and not what I call a deep penetrating paint job.

Hi Nathan, I'm in that other club like some of your subscribers are, I'm 77 and in the wood shop nearly every day in the summer in Minnesota. Iva had several career changes through my life time due to economic changes, resessions, etc. From a profession musician to a manufacturing jeweler/diamond setter to a journeyman machinist both manual and CNC. Because of my backround I was hired as a production engineer/designer (oh, I'm also a 3D CAD technician with 25 yrs experience) and during that time I was incolved in operational equipment and toolding. OK, here's my theroy and I'm sticking to it; Tool quality and expense is directly related to tool pressure. Example if the tool will be used 3X per week I didn't purchase high end stuff and the opposite if it were used ewvery 7 minutes, i bought the best. My point, Festool is very good tooling but why would you spend that kind of money if other equipment will serve you costing less. fLike you channel and as always, keep on smiling. Whew, that's a lot of BS I just wrote.

[@prgfitz]

We always used 6d (2") finish nails to install T-111, both hand nailing and with guns. Of course, for exterior we used galvanized, which you wouldn't need indoors. Brad nail heads don't have enough pulling power. Screws tear up the finished ply, IMHO. I, personally never liked using T-111 ever since it first came out in the 70's. It was a rt-111eal cheap alternative for home building developers. But, when the homeowner put soil for flowerbeds too close to the house, the T-111 would wick up moisture (we get only 38-42" of rain each year here in the Pacific NW) and get mushy along with growing mold. Should work good for interiors, what with the price of sheet goods today. I'm thinking of covering one wall of my new shop with it.

In my architectural & builder experience, we wrote it as T1-11 but whatever. I like the heck out of it, though, in just abt any application. Natural not painted.

I like the look of the siding, but I have found that it holds sawdust badly. If you plan on doing any finishing in the area that might shed some dust into your finish. Since it's already up I would put a heavy white paint coat on it to fill up rough edges and be less likely to hold dust and make the room brighter as white will reflect.

It may be a good choice for the wood siding on the exterior or your shop.

[@LONGARCH]

I would leave the siding clear and hit it with some Flood’s clear wood finish to bring out the natural wood color. Like the T-1-11, my fav was 4” o.c. grooves, to each his own!

I have nothing to complain about, I'm happy to see you post a video Sir thanks much✌️ Napa California

[@Azframer]

For your installation of the T-111 on the interior is fine with brads. Exterior you want a 6-inch on center parameter nailing. 8 inch on center in the field. Shear rating you want your corner sheets 4-inch on center parameter nailing 6-inch on center in the field plus every sheet 20-foot spacing down the wall.

[@pettigrewwoodworks]

My shop is skinned on the inside with T1-11. It's great. Can attach anything, anywhere with screws.

[@markpashia7067]

Seal it. If you want, use Thompson's water seal clear. Just raw it will attract and HOLD dust and sawdust. By sealing it you can wipe it down with anyhing wet and it will clean right up. Also less likely to try warping on you for humidity. Just saying. I would spray the concrete floor the same way for the same reasons. Just put Thompson's in a garden sprayer and go to work. Easy and so much better for cleanup. Thompson's is hydrophobic so water beads up on it AND is is non slip as well as food grade, so no worries about chemicals around stuff for kitchens like slabs for countertops. Have a roller handy for any runs when spraying as it is really thin. You cannot second coat for years so soak it the first time.

[@markpashia7067]

I keep a roller on a five foot handle like a broom stick just to spread out runs and such as needed. You will be amazed how easy your life will be when cleaning the shop in the future. sweeping will glide and you can sweep walls and floor easy.

[@robertbamford8266]

Hmmm. Decreasing dust 👍 but I am wondering about sealing just one side. Probably not an issue, but maybe a consideration even for interior installation.

[@davesauerzopf6980]

Great video as always. Love how you tell it like it is with viewers comments. T-111 on the inside is a great idea. Very durable for a workshop. A lite coat of white stain on it could help with the dust and keeping it brighter inside. Agree with utilizing the electric and not adding additional wiring to save on cost! Very frugal.

Nathan, normally on the exterior, I used 8 penny ringshanked nails. You're using I the T111 for interior. What you're using is fine my friend. Any paint primer and paint is fine for a shop. Don't worry about what anybody says, you're grown, do what you want, the hell with anyone else says. I'll wlll watch you no matter what my friend. God bless .

I’ve used T111 for inside walls quite a few times Nathan. Makes a good solid wall and looks nice. I also left it natural but I have shellacked it in some places. I say it’s a good choice for your shop and you can hang lots of weight on a wall like this. I’ve used 2”-21/2” brad nails in a few projects 20 years ago and it’s doing fine for an inside application. And as is said, anything worth while takes time. Once I get started on a project I can hardly stop. Kind Thanks and Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

As a suggestion, and since you cruise Harbor Freight a little, you might consider their coil siding nailer. I bought one for doing fence pickets so I only use inch and three quarter ring shank galvanized nails but for your t-111 project you could use two inch ring shank. A benefit to coil verses slide is capacity and you can shoot either clipped or full head nails. Just a suggestion but brad/finish guns are for trim.
