This is such a useful video. I have already used it to fix upright metal verticals to support a lattice fence on a garden wall. And I’m using it again today to work out how best to fix the oak timbers Ive had cut, to make a fireplace surround. This latter project needs to look good, as well as fix tightly and safely, so I’m going to set the bolts a little deeper than you suggest, and find another video to teach me how to make oak dowels to cover the bolt head and blend with the timber. I’ve also got to be very careful not to split or crack the old bricks. Thanks for a very practical video - and for covering the “do I drill into brick or mortar?” issue, which I had wondered about. I really appreciate the no-nonsense presentation. I loathe the music, logos, and usual nonsense in so many folks’ channels these days. I hope your channel goes from strength to strength.

Exactly a video i was looking for. Thank you.

Great video again. I've found that I can't hold a long bit of wood sready enough to reliably mark all the holes at once. I've "missed" on some too often. What I do is mark and drill the first hole and attach the batten. Then mark the rest while the batten is firmly held, remove the batten (or some times just slacken and turn it out the way) then drill the rest. I get a better sucess rate that way. Also, when finally fixing the batten I loosely fit all the bolts first so I can move it to get the other three in without problems before tightening them all. For drilling, you do not necessarily need and SDS drill, but you do need a hammer drill with a masonary bit. It is true that, with larger bits in a Jacobs chuck can slip, but it will work. For marking the holes I prefer wittnessing the wall through the hole with a small size masonary bit (in a drill of course). With my old eyes a pencil mark can be hard to find. The tape trick works for wood bits too as does using one of those rod depth gauges. drilling straight square (perpendicular not non round) holes is an art in itself that I get right only about 75% of the time.. How do you cope with that?

@Seven30onFriday

Жыл бұрын

I do the same re fixing the top end first and marking the other holes. This is also the time to use a level to check for vertical, not after the holes are drilled. I agree SDS drills are useful but not essential for this job.

Really enjoy your videos. Easy to follow.

Great vid, what I do as well is use a penny washer, it gets an even stronger fixing but it’s more chew as sometimes you’ve got to core the washer out to fit the screw/Coach bolt

It’s worth mentioning that if you are going to measure the depth of hole be certain that the screw or bolt will fit. If you only drill the depth of the plug then sometimes you will have problems with longer fixings. Great video 😊

I did some framing work and used Multi Fix Concrete Screws which were easy to use with a solid bite. No need for plugs. I suppose it depends on what the framing work is for. Mine was only for stud work on a feature wall that had to be built out.

@TheDIYGuy1

Absolutely depends on not only.the application but your preferred method.

My previous house was an old Victorian one built from relatively soft bricks and soft lime mortar. Fixing anything to a wall (plus through thick soft lime plaster) could present problems that could not be solved by using any type of plastic plug because of oversized cavities. I found that the best way to solve it was to cut a piece of scrap wood slightly larger than the hole, make a point on it and then hammer it in and saw off flush. Then screw directly into it without drilling a hole.

You can also use concrete screws/bolts. You can drill the pilot hole straight through the wood into the brick/block/concrete with a masonry bit and then put the bolt in with an impact driver. No need for plugs and less chance of cracking concrete, especially if you are near the edge. Great channel, love the content and presenting style.

Excellent video and instruction, thank you. One caveat on drilling the brick. If it has a traditional ‘frog’ then no problem, but if it is a modern cheaper brick, it may just have 6-8 round holes for the frogs. If you drill into one of these then you lose some of the integrity required for the plug to expand onto.

Nice video; you have another subscriber… thanks for posting. I do it slightly differently, because I don’t much trust my measuring and marking. I’ll prepare the top holes as per your video. I’ll then snug the post up into position, hanging it from the top fixing, and nudge it into vertical. I’ll then use a small-bore dill bit and drill through the post and a tiny bit into the wall, just to mark it. This way it’s also easy to avoid mortar, if you want to, and makes the use of concrete screws possible. I then remove the post from the wall and make the remaining counterbores and through holes. I might make the new through holes a couple of mm oversize, again to compensate for my incompetence and give me a bit of wiggle room. The penny washers Charles Renwick suggests help out here! Then drill the rest of the holes in the wall, plug, and put up post, tweaking the alignment if necessary. One final thought - make sure that the projecting screw isn’t longer than the plug, otherwise you’ll have to drill the wall to the depth of the screw, not just the plug.

Frame fixings yes, but they require you avoiding mortar joints in brickwork. I use them when fitting doors or windows mostly.

Always use "treated" wood on the cement floor and maybe even a plastic barrier.

Such a bespoke way to put up some timber that will not be visible! The effort and passion is inspiring. But as a general contractor I would have a migraine if I saw this one site though. Take the stud, line it up, drill with a concrete drill straight through the wood into the wall to the correct depth, take a nail plug and beat it in with a hammer. Repeat. Next stud.

What if you dunt have an SDS drill, will a black n decker with hammer action do?

Amazing mate cheers. Question-- Are you not concerned with having your timber tightly against the brickwork? Asking in regards to mould or moisture build up behind the timber--as that doesn't look like treated pine and there isn't any sort of vapour barrier or sealing on the back end. Just wanted to get your thoughts. Another pro tip for that electric tap--Instead of tearing it off, leave 10 cm hanging off like a flag before you rip. Much easier to see as it spins round.

Being on the block work does the timber need any sort of protection from the wall absorbing moisture/water from outside and rotting the timber attached to it? Or causing mould on the plasterboard once finished?
