Thank you for the tip. I did a deck for a friend, using 2X8, what I did, I locked the table-saw at 7.5, and passed all of them through the machine, I helped me a lot and everything went smooth.

Currently working on fixing any older deck. Your tips saved tons of time and frustration. Thanks for taking your time to share with us all.

Scattered tips like this is my best way to take information. Problems don't come up on que in order, they are scattered! Lol, great vid

Thanks.., much appreciated

Was sitting outside trying to figure out how you professionals are able to laminate such perfect beams. I was stressing out as I was imagining how many problems it was going to cause when I start putting on the deck boards. Did a quick search and in just a few minutes, you've saved my project. Headed out to find a planer. Thank you!!!

Great job. Built my deck on the house 37 years ago. Two levels. Time to update and replace. Nothing lasts forever but very pleased with my first. Time to refresh my mind and lumber. Thank you. Down to earth !!

Building a 12 x 12 deck in the backyard, and I found this video extremely helpful. Definitely will be referencing this video during the build.

Thank you for this video. It will really help me when I replace my deck. I downloaded my local deck code online and I am going to follow it. But the tips that your videos show will save me so much time and frustration!

You Perkins brothers are gonna get the Nobel Prize for good, pragmatic solutions. Thanks!!

Damn... thanks for the tip. My next tool purchase will be one of those power planers... I didn't even know those existed until just now.. and you are 100% correct, building a deck can be so frustrating at times that you just want to quit.. take it easy and thanks for the tips!!

Great "last second idea". Not "too scattered" for me. Much appreciated, and very helpful!

Working on fixing an older deck. The power planer is like some kind of gift from God! I never knew they even existed! Thank you for posting this!

Thank you! For these tips I do have a small deck repair coming up and the "grainbo" trick os something I never woulda thought of. Your videos are pretty sweet keep it up ☝

Great job man! I know your crazy busy and these vids take time and effort, just want to say keep up the good work! I enjoy the sense of humor and hard work!!

Excellent advice. The Grain bow tips are awesome. Thanks.

Awesome video. Doesn't matter to me that it's a little scattered, because it was still very clear and to the point. I can always rely on you guys having great tips!. Thank you!

Thank you for the great tips and taking the time doing the videos. Much appreciated.

I'm fixing an old covered porch that had a layer of plywood, tapered boards, and then a layer of particle board with carpet glued to it. It has been a nightmare, each time I complete a task I have 5 new issues to fix 🥴 You just gave me a whole bunch of ideas in this scattered video, thank you!

Love your videos. I'm a hobby builder and absolutely love watching "tips & tricks" videos

Some great tips and uneven lumber is driving me crazy these days especially for the price haha. Thanks for the tips and keep up the great work.

Thank you for mentioning about not installing hangers first! I so would have done that.

All useful tips. These would help make me confident enough to build a nice deck.

Great tips, especially tacking the joists up and then installing the hanger. That one should be a no-brainer. Perhaps that's why I didn't think of it myself :) Thanks for the excellent video!

This video was awesome. Full of great tips and fun to watch. Thanks so much 👍👍👍

THANKS!!!! I thought it was me installing incorrectly. I was going to use a belt sander but power planner is way more fun. Thanks for the tip!!

Thank you for sharing solutions to common issues very helpful

I agree....the 9-3/16" 2X10 is the obvious culprit. And layout board is an awesome tip. Making sure all ¢enters are on.

You have no idea how much I needed to see this. Thank you.

On the board width... When I built my deck , I got in a habit of double checking even/flush boards before nailing together. Great video .. thanks

love the videos. always a good day when i get a notification that Perkins uploaded a new video.

Thanks for the tips! Gonna build me a deck this summer. Love your videos!

Good tips. Nice trick with the rebar. Leverage is key!

Good info, man some of the lumber that comes to our jobs is ridiculous. Nothing you don’t already know 😊

Thank you for this information. When I build something I always try to make it perfect. Well if you build with wood, it is not perfect. When laying out the floor joists, do not do it if you are not putting on the decking right away. The sun turns them into pretzels pretty quick.

You helped me today. I'm building a deck! Good timing!

It’s nice to watch a video of a real carpenter that isn’t trying to cover all the bases so no keyboard warrior will blast them because they didn’t use every tool a certain way or wear every safety device known to man. The way you showed your work is real life how we do it... especially the planner lol. Nice video man! Very entertaining!

I like that layout board. Simple concepts to make certain things run smoother and faster

So many tips, this channel is awesome!

Thanks for the video! Great idea’s glad you wanted to share.

I bought the Dewalt cordless version of that dewalt planer. Its a beast. Some great info in this one, especially about the hangers/

Very helpful tips. Thank you!

Good tips. Much appreciated.

Had no idea you guys had done a deck tips video back in the day.. I was scratching my head on my 30x30 deck reno/update... thanks for the video tips!

Thanks for the heads up. Keep em going.👍

I have been adding the hangers after the joists for years for the reason you stated. It is a bit of a pain when I build them 12" OC getting a decent swing on the connector nails but worth it to have the tops level.

Thanks for everything I love the channel! Can’t wait to get back out there this season :)

Excellent video with great suggestions. Well done and thank you!

Invaluable tips. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the planer tip, it saved us!

Last year I watched a video from Fine Homebuilding where they recommend tacking the joists before putting hangers on. It saves a lot of frustration. They also recommend putting the tallest joist in the middle and shortest on the outside so the rain would drain off easier. Great Video, definitely smashing the like button 👍

This video has massively helped my day! Thankyou 👍

Canadian lumber seems to be more consistent....not perfect but rarely do I come across that level of ridiculous. I also run all my joists wild with a temporary rim joist, put on the decking except for the last row, and then chalk my last line across the joists according to where the last row will now fit (rather than original measurements). Cut the joists and reattach the rim joist. Always looks perfectly finished and compensates for variations in the decking. Thanks for another good video.

In the process of building my new deck now and lumber sizes being off has been an issue! Thank you for putting this video out and for justifying the purchase of another tool (power planer)!

Just built a 12x48' and 12x26' on my house and this would have saved me so much aggravation. Great tips!!

1/2" width difference? Time to change lumber suppliers.

@@JAYG79. right, I had pressure treated wood delivered from Menards for my deck and they were varying widths.. made things difficult for ledger and joists, but specifically one of the 14ft 2x10 was just horrible.. smaller in width than the other, and curved at one end.. but it's not easy to exchange a 14ft board, so I just had to deal with it.

@@jeff_9074 That's why I rented a U-Haul, so I could pick out my own lumber. I was nervous about what the warehouse workers would load for my delivery. U-Haul cost about the same as delivery. (I only live 2.5 miles from my local Menards.)

I watched this for entertainment opposed to education, I like your building style, I use most of the same techniques but was astounded by the difference in width on some of the joists. My area isn’t as bad for that

Excellent advice. Thanks

Great advise on joist hanger. thanks! Also investing in an electric planar!

great help as always. Thanks!

Great videos. Subbed. For the layout board, is that to apply a consistent weight to top and align the top profile or do you slide it along as a guide to keep the distance between the joists the same as you apply the fasteners?

New to your channel and love your videos. You do a great job of explaining what your doing and provide great advice. Love the tee shirt, GO REDS!

Thanks for sharing! I need to get that planer for sure

Your videos are always helpful, thank you very much

Thanks again for taking the time to make these terrific vids

Absolutely great video 👍.

Ive only used my planer on doors but this is an awseome tip!

If you screw a small piece of 2x2 top the top end of your joist and set that “guide” on your ledger makes it perfectly flush and easy to hang 😀

Thanks bro for these tips tricks...

Love every single one of your videos.

Thank you for being the most honest contractor I've seen in a long time. You were honest about all your mistakes in an effort to educate your viewers and maintain your business integrity. I'd love to work with you and hire you as my contractor.

Cheers mate building a deck soon and know alot more than I did 10mins ago Aussie viewer

👍.. we have several. The DEWALT has blades you can re-sharpen. We also have a Bosch with replaceable carbide blades. The DEWALT cuts deeper, but we have used the heck out of them both

Great tips!

Love the Reds shirt. Have my sub. This video was also extremely helpful while I was building a deck recently

I really enjoyed building decks but pressure treated lumber can sure be aggravating even with a planer. I see your using a Milwaukee M18 that's what I used and still do my favorite impact/drill combo Dewalt makes great tools also just been buying Milwaukee for many years love their work drive saw also but heavy as helI did replace that with a skill when it died after 20 years of abuse Lol. Another great video btw.

Dude, you just awesome man. Thank you soooooooooooo much

This both helped me and gave me an excuse to buy a new tool. Thanks!

always love the vids! thanks!!

Definitely gonna look into a planner now

Problems more like nightmares, everyday. For sure we are not alone with there minor time eaters. Thanks nice video

I build decks full time. We did one recently that had to be super flat for paver installation on top of the joists. We ended up ripping all joists to 9". Tedious but great end result.

Can also set 5-6 at a time on saw horses and plane them before installing. Just find the thinnest board and plane to that thickness.

Great Tips. I use a belt sander.

I wish I watched this before I installed my joists, only to remove them and install the hangers AFTER the joist. Oh well, live and learn. Thanks for posting

Pick up a joist jaw. Holds the board flush while you nail it then come back and add hangers
