Replace a Rotten Porch Post

[@claudedubois6011]

It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book kzbin.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.

Porch Post V2.0...Great suttle upgrade of the symmetry and balance of entrance...! Great vlogs and stories.Greetings from Denmark...Jakob.

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Thank you Jakob

[@Tapz89]

Your workmanship is Outstanding mate. Really enjoy watching your content

[@bruce-le-smith]

Enjoying the woodworking, but also the tune! Nice. New Zealandies got some style. Like how you snuck that oscillating saw into the post joint cut

[@andrewjblack6]

Didnt get a good look in the video, but how do you connect the post at the top to the roof/framing?

[@drumrboynoid]

The chefs bit is awesome. Please do that as much as possible le. So randome!

[@R34GTRR35]

How do I attach the top of a post to a beam , when I can’t access the sides and top due to the porch ceiling . Thx

[@laurentfillion8435]

love that you say "eh" like Canadiens do

[@larry097]

Next van fit out must include some sort of slide out kitchen and dining table! ,😂

Is there a concrete pier under that block that the post is mounted to?

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Timely, just found a patio roof post rotting. Thanks.

[@jangjand6776]

Chef Paerau is going for michilin next year. Such fancy lunches all ye get over here in Ireland is a cheese and tayto sambo and sausage rolls lol

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

😂😂

[@tylershaw9835]

Why didn’t you use the supplied bearing plate (black base)? I’m not sure the pins are for load as much as they are for up lift.

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

I used some plastic shims instead, under the centre of the post. The base is the same width as the post, thought it might hinder the drip edge

[@whitacrebespoke]

The Simpson brackets should help post last longer as it’s now up of the ground. Looks well

[@iatsd]

Makes exactly zero difference to H4 timber. The bracket will rust before the timber rots.

[@Fattony6666]

@@iatsd No chance that galvanized steel rusts to failure before any wood in direct contact with concrete would rot

Do you guys use DCP in New Zealand because I've never seen you use it?

[@fireblaster9961]

try using a bottle jack and section timber to prop up

[@taylor_b9266]

Only carpenters will understand. Smoko with the tool belt still on.

Good job Scott! That porch ain’t going nowhere.

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Solid!

Tanks Scott Nice to see what you teaching in this lesson Thank my mentor you helps me in the field a lot Thank friend God bless

[@peterkiernan1668]

The construction chef strikes again, oh and nice work Scott.

[@DjJ0SHE]

Anyone know what that drill bit is for drill them holes that scott infill under the post?

[@nicholassmith5079]

Plug cutter

[@BobbyBaloney]

Love to see that care of detail in carpentry. NZ seems to be a pretty legit place to be

[@klystron1]

Solid job but what's the prevention of the post not rotting again.

[@mmmlllzzz100]

its in the treatment/ H4 also its not touching the concrete now

[@jamesthebuilder3141]

hey Scott cool vid where did you get the dowl making bit ?

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

That's a Haron Plug Cutter, I picked it up at Placemakers 👍

[@timcorbett9629]

@@ScottBrownCarpentry I found when using those plug makers, if you drill a hole in some scrap ply the outside diameter of the cutter, clamp that onto the piece, it will guide the cutter. Makes for cleaner plugs. I'm always doing that onsite, without a drill press too.

[@bobbrent5994]

where can you get that festtool ruler in auckland anyways??

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

That was a Spax ruler, I got it from the merchant when I bought a bunch of screws

[@bobbrent5994]

@@ScottBrownCarpentry aaaaaahh fack! You should try the festtool ruler!! If i ever see you im gonna throw one at ya

[@MrRENZsalas]

Quick question Scott: why do u use H4 post? Shouldn’t it be H5?

[@daver7867]

maybe because there is no direct contact with ground only metal.

[@mediter123]

You got a like for that perfectly ripe avocado. Bravo.

[@JTSHyPe]

What’s the green and white ruler you are using? Great video btw

[@nailasch2187]

Thanks!

Keep up with the good work! Greetings from Finland!

[@Nixima81]

So change you post every 10 years or get a stainless steel post and change it every 100 years?

[@daver7867]

wood is more affordable and if done properly can last along time.

[@needaman66]

Did you paint the cuts on the post? Shame shame shame if you didnt. Syw

[@MrRENZsalas]

4:12 i think they painted the cuts

[@markodjukic7666]

That Avocado.....was there a toy car in the stone?

[@jamatoke]

Wish it was easy to get metric only tapes/rules in Scotland

[@davydmir6565]

I think Stanley do a 5 meter top reader style tape that's metric only

[@robswift791]

Yeah they do. I got one on screwfix last week I was sicked when I realised it was only metric.

[@robswift791]

Sickened

[@shirazayub]

Festool do one, its about, £12. Pretty nice.

[@whitacrebespoke]

Advant tapes from toolstation or axminster. Called viceversa metric only and printed both sides of the blade. Axminster also do metric only steel rules. I only use metric only now as it stops the old boys I work with shouting confused feet and metric confused measurements at me as the know I only have a metric tape on me.

[@foreman3737]

You really do nice work.

[@KenCharlesTheGreat]

I love your videos, the background music is great too! Id love to get a playlist of all the tunes in your videos

[@Fetecheney]

Super nice to see that strong tie. Especially on something structural for the house. Thanks for the good editing

[@VideoandfilmsolutionsCoUk]

Great work

[@Gulzari100]

I am a first year carpenter and I learn alot from your videos. Thanks alot and keep posting

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

You're welcome

[@iatsd]

Find a decent carpenter to learn from, not the half arsed cowboy work Scott does. Plenty of Japanese carpenters that have actual skill to watch if that's your thing.

[@incognitotorpedo42]

OMG Avocado and raw salmon, you guys know how to live. Very aesthetic result, nice work. I'm a little concerned about that post mount- all the force is concentrated in a small area. Seems wrong. I'd want one that would spread the force over the post. I guess Simpson knows what they're doing though. Cheers!

[@uriuriuri]

Thumbs up if you enjoy watching Scott, but are really just waiting for Paerau to appear :)

[@adamjwhite50]

Why is your country’s preferred method of building houses still wood ? In the uk we build in brick .cheers

[@tubestick00]

Wood is cheaper. Its 100% renewable. It's far more pleasant to work with. Its lighter. Our country is not dark and rainy 365 days a year. The yanks, canadians, Scandinavians, aussies most places I reckon use timber frames buildings unless your talking a basement or something. Brick is very weak. It has terrible performance in earthquakes. We use non structural brick as a cladding here but never as the structure anymore.

[@tubestick00]

Not too mention you say "still wood" but wood is the newer thing. Building in stone is ancient. So what do you mean still building in wood??

[@drewmis1]

Looking forward to the next Cooking with Paerau. Hunting bears with spears? Now that shit's legit!

[@CharleyDC5R]

Great work, great tools, and great music. Keep going guys!

I know this is an old upload, but taking some pleasure in lockdown to watch the older stuff... Have to say the attention to detail is spot on. My dad was a keen DIY're and i learnt alot from him, but my grandad was a real craftsman who would be nodding in appreciation of your attention to detail and pride that is taken in the work that so many dont have!

[@sdjnwhyNZ]

[@flyingdutch9818]

That avo on there ryvita looked so yum!

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

It was delicious

[@bartbug1]

Great Videos Scott..but I've question; Would it have been better to use a spade bit or Forstener bit to counter sink the holes in the posts and secure them with a nut & washer, as opposed to your method? Just asking as to why you went down that route as I'm always keen to learn. Cheers..

[@TheLightHouseBay]

anytime you cut the load bearing post it looses structural integrity in fact when you cut any load bearing beams to fit is wrong !!

[@daver7867]

had to go it was rotten, better to replace than wait for it to collapse

[@kevindivine9623]

Hi Scott! What type of wood do you use? And where can I find a wood post like that? I'm in California. I see a lot of pressure treated post but the white wood post that you have looks beautiful. Thank you.
