Here’s a tip, when you cut the stringers, add one more rise and run and tuck it under the deck frame, that way your not putting the weight of the stairs on a little block screwed in from the back, that connection fails in about a year of use

You need to tell people on your shorts you have these build offs. I usually check KZreadrs main page for longer videos and that's how I stumbled across this. Remember KZread doesn't let you click on links in the short vids.

WOW !!!

I would be down for this. I would really struggle with this specific challenge though even though I’m a 20 plus year career pro carpenter/woodworker. The reason I would struggle is not having any drawings/plans to work off of combined with the time limit. I’m currently building a very detailed range hood vent in my wood shop that is completely custom and has compound swoops with miters made from solid walnut. But I have time to plan it, draw it in fusion360, and build it in a controlled shop and no time limit (other than not milking the time). The other thing I would like to point out is I don’t think “the bully” should come up with the challenge, he should have an independent carpenter brain storm and plan the challenge. The reason being that the bully has all the time to brainstorm and game plan how he would tackle the challenge while he’s coming up with and planning the challenge himself, while the challenger is walking into it completely blind.

5 ай бұрын

Thanks!

I like the footers sticking out tbh, but the banisters being prebuilt is nice, what would be cool is a one piece top rail part, like where it’s attached together first then laid on top

It’s always about the details and with tight budgets and cramped schedules details get lost I’d say overall no one can argue they both have excellent skills . Really a ton of work for 4 hrs . I would probably estimate more like 24 to get it done right .

I thought it was clever, fun and decently paced. What I admired though was the fact that there weren't 10 youtube ads in the middle of the video... Props for not letting greed take the reigns like so many do.

I do like using a miter saw in tandem with a digital angle finder (Husky makes a $20 one) for when you have boards joining that aren't on the detent angles (90, 45, etc) or angles that are slightly off of the detent angles. A circ saw only has bevel angle adjustments but if you have a board that needs a bevel cut to join into another board and the angle is some odd angle like 43.5, it's a lot harder to gauge a circ saw to an angle that's not a detent angle and get it perfect. A miter saw can be adjusted to a non-detent angle just as quickly and accurately as you can a detent angle b/c that's what it was designed to do. They are really nice to have on finish carpentry where you need your cuts sealed perfectly. A circ saw is for rough framing but when you get into something with a lot of miters/bevels - especially when it's some odd angle thats where you'll really glad to have a miter saw (but you need something to gauge what that angle is - angle finder)

I appreciated that the question about if you were proud of what you built was asked, but it would've been interesting to see if the constructors themselves' critiques would have lined up with the judge's given the opportunity to judge themselves prior

all i do is build stairs closed , open sets, commercial and residential this was very fun to watch and i can appreciate this very much! good job to both of you.

Woodworking is for anyone. Only thing that needs to be known is how to and experience for the project at hand. Also speed isn't best , I've woodworked for 30 years and have seen everything that shouldn't be. Framing is where the rules and know how lay and carpenters finish up. If your sanding your mistakes on a deck you got something a little off , more than likely out of square. Pull a tape across your corners and check before laying flooring. The true test is weathering after build

This looks super dope. 🔥 Salute fellow Carpenters ✊🏾🥃 🔨 Was amazing Brian came in a special judge

This is the first time I’ve seen your stuff. You earned a subscribe from me. I really like this and I don’t comment much on vids. I’m all in with the others saying I couldn’t do it in 4 hours. I don’t work well under time crunches. Now if I were the judge, I would have noted that both do not meet the residential code used in my area and most of the cities in the US. The one thing I saw is neither had a separate “grab rail” on the stair required by code. I built my own deck a few years ago & that is one thing the inspector got on me.

Only thing I'd done on Bradley's steps is cut that last step off top and drop it whatever the length is on ur risers. Ull have to add a 2x6 under the band so u have enough to screw to but it saves u a step and looks much better than the top step being level with the deck floor. . And never rely on toe nails only to attach ur stringers to the deck frame.. get under the deck and screw through the band and into the stringer it'll be much stronger. . U can also toe nail it too but like I say I wouldn't rely on those only

If I were running a job and needed an additional carpenter, I would be torn between two negatives: Brad is less of a craftsman but much easier going, while WB is clever but has an attitude that would immediately draw the fire of any other carpenter on the job. I would either look for a third applicant or go with Brad. Also, having been in the trade for many years, I think 4 hours for this project is too long.

Also leaves as much space as possible for structural integrity of that board. Can't tell you how many times i've just knotched it, went to bang it into place and the smallest piece snaps off.

The way Brad did his balusters, put a square nut on your speed square to lock the angle, snap the line at your plate offset and use the skill saw (1 1/2 or 3 1/2 depending on side of the saw) and hold the angle with the speed square against the plate on the line. Ik its hidden under the rail, but damn that tool is supposed to stay in the trailer till you fuck up for a reason.

Looking at them from afar, I liked the challenger much more. It looked nicer with the wider steps and the overhangs. But then we got to see it up close and there were certainly problems. Overall, yes the bully should have won. But I still like the look of the other one more.

Truth be told, i would rather the challenge be separated, same tools, same materials, same parameters, HOWEVER. the two contestants would be separated and have either 24 or 48 hours to complete it instead. Quality over quantity.

I just saw this short on FB. Definitely worth subscribing haha.

Juan and my 18 year old kid with 6 month experience of deck building would shame these two. Why the internet is the devils playground. And how about you angle the bottom of your posts so it doesn't look like trash. You can't notch 4x4 posts by code anymore. Woodbullys stairs look like trash with that huge 2x10 hanging down. Neither did the stairs properly. And woodbullys rails weren't evenly spaced. This can be done by pulling 3.5 and 5 and losing or gaining an 1/8 to a 1/4 to make them come out evenly. 4 hours to do this...badly. I wouldn't hire either of them. And both would get sent home here in Wake County NC
