Hey Scott. I really enjoyed this one. Trimmers for wall framing and jacks for roof framing. What is the PINK wood? I have never seen pink framing lumber. I am guessing it is treated. Treaded in the US is green. Keep the videos coming. Chris and I are deep into our fixer with a lot more to come. Ron😎🤙

[@runforrestrun1965]

Ron, yes the pink here means it’s treated timber and usually has various ink stamps on it indicating its treatment grade etc. (“H4” or 5 suitable for in ground placement (posts), H1-2 suitable for interior (I think). By the way, interior wall lining here is called “Gib” plasterboard, it’s become a generic term for it as it is made from one main company in NZ and everyone simply says gib nowadays. Currently a major shortage of it, with wait times all over the country. Hey, i love my paulk table, been so handy, thank you for such a brill design.👍

Hi Scott. Measuring and cutting accurately is obviously a very important part of your job. I wonder if at some stage you wouldn’t mind sharing with us some of the rules/ways that you manage to consistently achieve the accuracy required. You always seem to cut perfectly on the first go. For example the first cut you did in this video was perfect. It would take me several goes sneaking up on the length required. Cheers.

I used to cut aluminium extrusion for my job and it required pretty accurate cuts with a standard site drop,slide saw, what I used to do is use my thumb to raise the blade guard, without the saw running of course.... close 1 eye and align my head so I was directly in front of the blade, and move my head till i was looking exactly down the side of the blade that was going to be the cut side , line it up with the pencil mark line on the extrusion I wanted to cut, let go of the guard and then cut, worked within 1mm.....

When I watch your videos, Scott, I think of my Late Dad who was an old school carpenter.

Dad used to do a LOT of manual planing & had quite a selection of planers. I'm not a tradie, but can appreciate the advances made for the workers with these machines. Must stop a lot of muscle fatigue? I saw how much it took out of Dad, hammering and sawing manually. He had to retire early but died only 8 months later.

Hi Scott, you guys are doing really good job. I appreciate attention to the detail and the way you are making sure everything fits together nicely.

We call Under Studs (first time ive heard that or Relievers) Cripples here in British Columbia.

I have decade old battery packs from teal and red and others that are still chugging along at various diminished capacities. Most cylindrical form factor cells are just more robust, if less space efficient because of their metallic tube case. I guess I'm saying, I'm certainly not going to be early adopting them any time soon, but I'm happy yellow is pushing through with it.

G,day Scott Brown Carpentry from Sydney Australia. Great to see you back wearing your nail bag!!! And back on site. HOT TOPICS The Building Codes Board of Australia has only recently (12 months) using the NCC (National construction code, residential provisions) address the issue of building condensation. As you know, elimination of mould and airborne pathogens creates a healthy living space for the occupants. * This can be generated from surface ground water as well as rain ingress. In the same, natural lighting and ventilation during all seasons of the year is also very important, as has been recognised by past building design.

Not to sound like an inches apologist, but doing carpentry with fractional has a few perks: It's really easy to do basic math with fractions. What's half of 9/16? 9/32. Double it, 9/8, or 1 1/8.
