Im a carpenter in the US, I have a useful tip for you Scott when you go back to working in other people's houses. Remember to unplug or turn off your compressor. It will eventually run out of air and cut back on to get the pressure back to where you have it set. Yes i learned this the hard way when I forgot to and it cut on in the middle of the night when the homeowner was sleeping. They woke up to what they thought was an air raid or earthquake. For those who arent carpenters but watch Scott's videos for whatever reason, air compressors arent just loud as all hell but they vibrate and shake like crazy.

[@lucastudor5536]

@So Lo😎 you talking about draining the air or condensation? I will never drain the air out of my compressor because I got a flat one time on my truck in the middle of no where and didn't have a spare because someone stole it like 2 weeks before the flat. I ended up having enough air pressure left in my compressor to fill up my tire to get me to home. If I didn't have that I would have had to get to towed 10s of miles resulting in a huge bill. The fact that I didn't drain my compressor saved me hundreds of dollars!

[@lucastudor5536]

@@f.demascio1857 thanks for the recommendation but I have been using the same cheap-o Porter Cable pancake compressor for about 15 years. The piece of crap still runs like a charm!

[@mickeybowmeister1944]

I like what the Aussies do for wall bracing..(Not use plasterboard), instead plywood and for uplift they even run a M12 threaded rod from top plate down to slab or joists either end of brace panel &/or lintel.

[@adamshallenberg3286]

How do you get the final wall thickness correct when you only have the plywood bracing in some locations?

[@mattp5518]

Was wondering the same. .maybe ripped down bits of same ply strapped to rhe wall then plasterboard?

"We need it because we're below sea level" Ha! I've got a friend from there who is 6'2 -- definitely will be telling her to use that!

[@R900DZ]

Love pneumatic tools myself. Especially for roofing here in the states they can’t be beat. You can nail off hundreds of nails into shingles and sheeting in a few hours in the hot sun without skipping a beat. If you need to get a lot of nails in quickly battery guns still can’t compete. Also battery guns are usually heavier. I still like battery for small to medium jobs but pneumatic is great for volume. Also pneumatic guns are simpler, more reliable, and cheaper.

[@mwffoto7698]

Love Ray. He should do a side series/Reels of tool reviews… ‘ya itsh goood’ Also see if he’ll say Schipol. Used to love it flying to HK from the UK via Schipol and the crew would say ‘welcom to Schipol’ in thick Dutch accents 😂

Did you notch the bracing ply into the wall? Also in Australia we do 40mm centres along the bottom and top plate.

[@nfi2nfi2]

Ask Hikoki for the new connector nailer 👌🏻, pro tip can be used for bracing plywood. Then swap out the controller switch for the Aus version for that sweet bump fire. In Australia depending on the type of Bracing rating (KN) the nailing is the same or slightly more, though we have to use an glue with our ones like TJ55 sika

This might sound like a dumb question! But how do you merry up your plaster sheets on the framed wall as you have put the ply sheets up? Do you shim all the plastered area or obviously there is a better way? Cheers

[@hamishgoodley7208]

If the whole wall isn't lined with ply, then plywood would just get ripped down to pack out (shim) any framing members that needed to be made flush.

[@jaredgreen5305]

Scotty B, you can substitute 1/M12 hold down bolt for a cluster of 3/14G batten screws, you will still need the blocking/nogging between the joists under if there is nothing, but should you ever drill and find you're on a bearer or joist, remember 3 batten screws gives the same capacity tie down, you just need to ensure you get 50mm into the receiving member!

[@kiwigrunt330]

Is this in NZS3604? The head area of three batten screws is much smaller than a 50x50 washer. Not arguing, just wondering...

[@donaldhunley4852]

[@shaneyoung72]

This a great video to remind carpenters who are pricing work how much time it can take to put in these handibracs and having to nog / block under the subfloor. Some of the inspectors and engineers who come back through to check the work, fixing patterns etc will want to see H3.2 used as well. An advantage of ply or OSB is that its great if you hanging anything to the wall later, like brackets to hold furniture. Another great video. 👍

[@kiwigrunt330]

So many questions. How did your framing inspection pass without hold-downs in place? Why stuff around with that bottom plate if your framing inspection has already passed? Does you designer/engineer have shares in a plywood company? That is to say, why use ply everywhere when a braceline/standard combination will do the job? Now you have to pack all the framing. On some of the longer walls, longer GS braces would have given the same bracing value with no requirement for hold-downs. Also, tell Ray he is een lang stuk elende.

[@HerbaceousM8]

super useful! thanks scott. i have a garage that had dirt pushed up against it before i bought the place. the winter happened and water was coming thru the wall. tore it open and its completely rotten.

[@frazierzach4652]

Dewalt has a battery coil nailer and I highly recommend for small applications like this. I’ve done 3-4 squares on a single battery and 10 fence panels worth on a single charge with mine

[@stuartcraigon2003]

I don't know about other people in the uk, scotland in particular because as you well know we build to a higher standard and completely differently to England, but I don't see any need for air tools in construction. Semes like another battery, a hose to trip over or get damaged and a bit unnecessary really.

Hey Scott, love your channel and showing us how it should be done. Ray is a true legend and a great asset incl his humour. Is there a reason you choose ply for bracing and not plasterboard? Note: I did not use word GIB. Prefer ply myself.

Hi Scott. Thank you for the new episode. I follow your channel closely. I have a question regarding minute 9:49 of this video, is that a "Viking arm" lift? I have been thinking in getting one but they are very expensive compared to some knockoffs selling for $20 on amazon. Is that a "Viking arm" the tool there? and, is it worth the investment comparing to the cheaper versions? Thank you!

[@RS2Racer91]

The knockoffs aren't very strong in lifting capacity. Also they are made out of sheet metal. If you don't set your expectations too high they might be fine. But lifting a heavy door with them I wouldn't advice.
