How many feet apart can i lay post!
@RandomVids519 suggested 8ft. If you go further, it's just stressing the span on your lumber more. Could go 10ft and use 2x8 for the braces.
Just use FlexSeal tape, they have some almost as wide as the wheel
I work for a flooring store and our installers won’t even attempt this. I want to try this method for my house and get it down like you. I could make custom pieces for customers who want treads but don’t like the price or don’t like the bulky trip hazard vinyl stair nose. Thank you for the video!
@oh_look_bananas I hope you can get it done! You'll do well if you can use it to your advantage, it's definitely a great way to make the floor look cleaner on the stairs!
Leg can’t hold it for the next board
@davo-ju6er you can hold it with your foot, or have a helping hand if you can't do it.
I watched this video, then went to work making a bigass mess with sloppy caulk lines. Not cuz this video is bad just cuz I'm a terrible caulker.
@@warc8us just keep practicing! You can do it
@@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer I appreciate you!
@@warc8us Thank you!! Appreciate you too!
Seems cool but you could always use a scrap to do the same thing
That’s a nice tool. I wish I had that back in the 80s.
Nifty. Then again you can accomplish the same task with a screw and a piece of scrap lumber.
Did some flooring, tile, snap together vinyl planking, and glue down vinyl planking. We just beat the hell out of it with a scrap piece of floor against the edge and a hammer to make them flush. Probably wouldnt be as easy with big ol 2x4s though.
If you don’t leave a gap water will not drain off the deck.
Go ahead snapperhead - leave a gap during construction with new pressure treated wood. Let me know how that works out for you !
@ianpvernon these boards are wet, and they dry out leaving 1/4" Gap. The wood itself will always allow water to pass thru, the gaps are never water tight.
Use a bit holder. Don’t put the bit directly into the chuck no matter what year it is.
but don't you want a slight gap in the decking to accommodate expansion and contraction of the wood to prevent curling in the boards
These boards ( pressure treated) don’t get any bigger than when you get them fresh and wet . If you space them AT ALL you’ll end up with spaces big enough to capture women’s high heels or your pet hamster. But don’t take a professionals word . Go ahead do it your way .
@kinggreenscorner852 they won't ever expand to the size they were at the time of installation. They were pressurized in a tank with liquid and then release the liquid but retain the treatment for environmental damage.
@@StepheMauro-kh1px precisely,once they leave that pressure tank where they were treated, they simply get smaller.
Be better if you could buy good wood board now a days they like that brand new and shit
@@garycook1376 it's definitely a struggle
BEATS THE OL FLOOR CRAMPS WE USED TO USE WITH THE CHAINS ALTHOUGH THEY WERE GOOD FOR DOING A FEW AT A TIME DEPENDING ON BOARD SIZE & LENGTH ,👍
Took me way too long to realize that was a deck and not a wall frame being assembled laying down.
@@gregswank4912 😂
Hi Chris, when you glue your treads, riser and bull nose pieces on what looks like lifeproof from HD, do you scrape the backing off. I have seen this in other videos and wondering if PL400 will work just fine instead of contact cement?
OMG there just have to be a simpler way guys ! can you imagine having to do 15 + of these noses. Cant manufacturers come up with a better idea ? perhaps they could already put in the grooves where they need to bend at least
@geoffbucks5803 some companies make a decent nose, but many do not. It's all about the finish, the end result is always worth it. I will add that once you setup the first and get it right, you'll move very fast thru the rest. 2 or 3hrs tops for a whole flight of stairs. Not bad in my professional opinion.
Thanks for the reply - I wonder if sticking a batch in the oven then taking them to the bending template would be faster and easier
@geoffbucks5803 not ideal, you only want to heat the area of bending. You may warp the material if the whole piece is heated.
Understood, thank you
@@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer As you noted, some manufactures provide treads with a nosing. Some will also provide a separate nosing that is attached to the tread. And one flooring place I dealt with will make a custom nosing for what ever vinyl floor you purchase. But they were pretty pricey. Thanks for sharing your method. Much appreciated.
Love it . I'm working on 2 I got free for a friend's boys .. wondered why no one posted exactly this yet. It was the first upgrade I considered ..lol.. al.ost as. Important as the power .. traction !! Awesome job . Thanks so much for the great footage .. 😀
@@lauranoble3253 most welcome hope it turns out great!
Love this! I'm going to make my own! Thank you for sharing!
How long do you heat for?
@@JoelBuilds I think I noted it in the video, minute or two per side. Just watch the material and gauge it really
@@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer thank you!
@@JoelBuilds happy to help
okay so i have a 7 inch high base board.. I lay it flat and tilt my blade to 45° Is this a bevel or mitre cur??
1 line down the head of the screw and you got a flathead screw, how I’ve always done it
@Express_Counter1 yes, but that's the single worst screw ever made. Reason being you can't torque the screw, it's always meant for (hand turned) or delicate operations.
True; lots of different ways to do different things, good video still, will keep this trick in the back of my tool belt
@Express_Counter1 and as others have commented, if you wish to muscle it out, grab the vise grips lol
As quick as you like, hand in tool bag, pull out a Pair Of pliers, grip and turn out in no time. I've done it before many times. I would have had a cup of coffee and biscuits by the time you got it out. 😂🤣 The extremes some people go to make a job harder than it should be, o my 🤦♂️
@Its_the_sun it wasn't harder, it was easy. Did you see any extra effort or strain?
@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer No, didnt see the extra strain because you had the equipment pre prepared, like the grinder out of the box, the drill out of its box, most likely needed an extension lead, getting that out and plugged in, so your preparation was the strain Compared to putting your hand in a tool box pulling out pliers and getting the job done 🤷♂️.
@@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer if we were to have a race, to see who could get the screw out of the wall the quickest, i can guarantee, i would win, if we both turned up at the job without any preparations being done. I would win 🏆without fail.
@Its_the_sun don't count your eggs so quick you have no idea til you step on the mat against your opponent 😉
@@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer o my word, did you really say that, you are beaten, but haven't got the balls to admit it, Loser, or is it sore loser. 😜 😴 I would be drinking my coffee and eating my biscuits with the screw in my hand, while you are still setting up mate. 🤣😂🤣😂
That's not how you do it, you make a single hole in the middle, pour water inside, slowly keep taking the dry from outside and pour in the water, do this until there's barely any thickness to hold the wet, then mix it until all looks the same, the way you did it you lost all the water when you first touched it with the shovel.
@@jt6mania558 I'd say those guys did just fine, considering they did this all day and had no issues. Why don't you post your skills and show the world how to do it?
So you use a level to install something level, wow who would have thought of that, genius
@jt6mania558 you'd be surprised at the trades, they put them up by eye 99% of the time. The tip is a magnetic level smarty pants.
@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer ohh my bad, forgot the magnetic, well people we've learned something today, use a magnetic level because the cheap non magnetic level and a pencil won't work anymore
Or grab so.e channel locks... Unnecessary
Or just get some good vice grips.
@@Daedalus1111 not when there's nothing to grip.
@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer if there's nothing for a vice grip to grip, then there will be nothing for the drill to grip.
When you know, you know, vicegrips when used by man and not pu***** will actually dent the screw enough to have a grip. But like i said, by a man@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer
@jt6mania558 you're clearly a keyboard champion. I stated very clearly "when there's nothing to grip" it won't work. Plus the area and angle of the screw interferes the ability to spin it in some cases. I believe my method was work smarter not harder...unfortunately you're still on the short bus.
@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer vice grips- $10-$15 Angle grinder- $100+ Drill- $100+ What is the best way to do it i wonder 🤔
why wouldn't you just grind off the entire screw 😂😂
@georgesanders8555 because the issues would be seeing a screws shaft beside the front door. I remove it and parge the hole to repair it.
Why grind it square for a chuck that has three jaws?
@@RandyTWester triangle or hexagon, flat sides allow it to grab.
Thanks for the great video! This will be extremely helpful on my LVP flooring and stair project!
@@dlitvin most welcome!!
Also take them Lil bs jeep tire off snd and put Escalade tire oit
Idk you didn't use brand new. Knonny tire on it u get 26inch huge knobyy tire at wallmart
I don’t own a table saw. Do you think there is another tool I could to do the dado cuts?
@@andreacehan8349 router and straight edge 🙂
You made a trap for water upside down v shape is better with straight edges seals for outdoor stuff
@pegrams7517 there's no trap for water, what are you talking about?
Good idea but wouldn’t a wood square also work seems like a waste of a speedsquare to me
@jublu473 you mean a carpenters square? This works perfect, a 7" speed square is all you need to flush the edge.
Thank you Skeet Ulrich. I can now caulk and not be totally ashamed with myself.
@@johnnyrico3637 Skeet-tastic!
Great video! It helped me understand how to get the holes dug out without messing up your property line string. Great work on explaining how to build a fence. It really makes it worth trying out
@@austinbradley3227 thanks, that's great to hear!
Awesome, just the solution I was looking for.
One box i split all ten. Just cant get the datos in the correct spot or something. Tried the bigger even tried removing whole in-between the bends lol 😅 just opened second box hoping to get it right this time.
Used a blow torch on the back and got them at a better ratio
Just got home with 1200sq ft of flooring and was so discouraged with the nosing option they sold us, this is amazing and so much better. Great video, thanks!!! This ok to do with SPC?
Thanks! Happy I could help!!
Does it work with SPC?
@@benbouch it should.
Good stuff ty
Welcome!
Excellent video. How would this work with bull nosed steps?
It would work, just need the jig to match the bull nose shape and depth.
@@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer Thanks Chris
How much time did it take excluding plastering?
2 hrs.
Great video very helpful but just one question you said you want the center of the post hole positioned at 1 1/2" in from the edge. Given how you showed the blocking does that not put the mounting screw going into a seam between the rim and the block or does that not matter?
Dependant on your fascia board and 2" can work well to avoid the sandwich.
How?
Watch my KZread video
When building a fence this style, it seems to allow a lot of gap underneath the fence in some areas? How to avoid this? Seems not good for pets.
You can set the bottom rails parallel to the ground and cut all bottoms of fence boards to match the angle. Plus you can add a lateral board for animals if needed.
I didn’t see any special framing done on this. Is there concern for drywall eventually failing from the weight of the fan?
I did add in blocking, I noted this in the video, but to film it is very hard as it's a tight attic. Simply block between rafter cords to the dimension of your fan. Pretty straight forward 👍
I was planning on using real wood steps but now I won't have too great idea....:_
The answer is probably no, or you would have done it, but I’m wondering if running a screw into the wall through the baseboard to fill in the space. I’d think that the motion would pull out the depression in the wall and reduce the size of space.
It's a larger hole to fill and have show thru later on.
Easily the best video Ive found on the subject, everything explained so simple, love the jig 👌
