The Bitter End; the Standing Part; half-hitches; knots/ropes/rigging… How long have you been sailing? (I was surprised you didn’t say “lines” instead of ropes😆)
How much is a pair of shears like that worth
I never buy cordless power tools, and for the life of me I can't understand why consumers have fed that market so much that it's virtually taken over. I'm not a professional, and I can maybe understand the added value in having some battery powered tools if you're on a remote job site, building a cabin in the woods or something, and there's no power source. Other than that there's almost no scenario where an extension cord wouldn't be a viable option. I also never buy the fancy name brand tools. They're probably all mostly just the same tool made in China with different branding on it anyway. I just bought a Bauer oscillating tool from Harbor Freight for $45. They offered the battery powered version for "FREE" if you buy a battery and charger, which costs more than the tool itself, because they want you to buy into their little battery ecosystem. No thanks, I just bought the corded model, and used it a ton on a bathroom remodel. I'll probably have it for the next 20 years or more with no issues. I have a B&D rotary tool that I bought for $35 almost 20 years ago and I've used it like crazy and it still works amazing! I prefer it over a Dremel actually.
Cordless I run Dewalt corded Milwaukee nailers are a matebo and bositic
It’s going to look like a million bucks with some lumber installed. Can’t wait to see the end result!
I was watching a different video and seen yours in the side bar and immediately clicked! What a great series
I have to replace the tank in a home I just bought. Good video. THX
These made up saws must have been all over at one time. This is just like the large diameter daw my grandfather operated in 1917 in Coshocton county Ohio.
👍👍
Thanks so much for this video brother
As a DIY guy and weekend woodworker, I have also purchased a variety of things-- mostly based on what I could afford. My Ryobi cordless tools have never failed me, and I love my CORDED Skil circular saw and router!
Needs to be designed to be able to dump into a wheelbarrow
When I need a new tool I start with making a short list of what I want it to be capable of so I get the specs lined up with my needs for now and the foreseeable future. Then I check reviews on youtube. When I’m down to the two best options I’ll go to the store and feel them out for balance and ergonomics. I don’t give a F about brand unless it’s for the battery platform giving me a clear upside or if there’s interchangeable or compatible accessories. I have DeWalt, Bosch, Makita, Ingersol Rand, Stanley, Kärcher, Ryobi, B&D, and several cheep off brand tools that does the job. I’ve got with and without cord, air tools, hand tools. I just care about if it’s the best tool for the job and that it’s durable.
So those young guys that just did my roof and would run up the ladder with both hands full were superhuman? 😊
BIG NO NO ON NO EYE PROTECTION WHEN GRINDING, YOUR FIRED !
Thank you so much for this video. It means a lot. Honesty is so hard to find as a newbie to the trades.
I've watched quite a few of your video's. You nailed the problem with your twisting "I-Beam," a.k.a. Wide-Beam. The extra four braces will help. If you truly wanted to stop the "twisting," make up 8 (eight) pieces (3/8" in. solid plate / bar steel) to fit the three sides of the beam and weld 4 (four) each side, evenly spaced. I would argue had you properly reinforced the "I-Beam," with the 8 (eight) pieces, {stiffeners} the four you had welded extra, would never been needed. The "I-Beam," is designed to take a load from top of the wide flange straight through towards the bottom flange. (I'm in no way a engineer, just a fat 70 yr's old former ship yard welder.) The stiffeners need not be full contact on all three sides, allow a 1/4" - 1/2" radius @ the 2 (two) inside corners, water would / should be able to drain FREELY!!!!!! Also the stiffeners should not come to the outside edge / flush to outside edge. should be short enough to allow a full weld around the edge of the stiffeners. Maybe 3/8" in. to 1/2" in. from the outside edge / flush to outside edge.
Great video thanks for sharing! I'm 65, I've never liked using an extension ladder. I now find that with age and getting out of shape I tend to lose my balance easily and this is what makes that roof transition scary. Yeah, the last time I got on the roof a year ago, I'm that guy who set up there 10 minutes before working up the courage to get back on that ladder. I must admit though I wasn't extending the ladder high enough for a proper transition, so thank you for the tip. My Tip, if you're out of shape and don't feel a good sense of balance, seek help!
Everyone talks about Larry Haun, but you're of the same caliber. Thank you for continuing to share your wealth of knowledge 👍
They need to show these videos and Larry Haun’s videos to kids in shop classes nowadays
Great info.
Dave works fast too! Maybe it's time lapsed lol!
"Develop some arm strength."
After wrapping mine up like you do, I stick then]m in individual zip lock bags.
Scott, it’s getting complicated. You may want to consider making it a cantilever sliding gate with some slight modifications. kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2GapNCKidO9nJc.htmlsi=29UeKkD4dObw0SK6
HA!!! I heard you spurn gear ratio chalk lines months back when I started following. I have a basic Stanley for bad weather. But tajima chalk lines are the Cadillac eh?
Don't throw away tools. It's wasteful. There will always be better tools available, but you can't just keep throwing them away and replacing them with more expensive ones. If they're usable, use them.
I have never believed repetitive motion gets you carpel tunnel. All the years of using my hammer caused NOTHING even close to carpel tunnel. Your advice matches what I've taught young beginners for years. Greatly appreciated video.
I usually do not comment videos, but i would like to share my backpain story. May this be a warning for all the young. I wish i was not that stupid at the time. I am 23, dealing every day with some amount of back pain. Some days are pain free, some days i almost have tears in my eyes. It all started while back in my rowing days. I used to do rowing for quite some time, doctors warned us that we can hurt our back while doing it. We did not listen. Well, why would we listen, when we were one of the best at our category? Later before high school i left rowing club, becase of our not so good traniner. Time flew by, at highschool i got a motorcycle and rode it pretty often, everything was perfect at the time. After i left highschool, my dream job was a motorcycle mechanic. Beacase i decided that i am going to university, i got only a parttime job, the dreamt bike mechanik. At first everything was great! I loved that job. Working with bikes, cheaper parts for my own bikes, i met loads of sommilar minded people... But what was the back breaker for me, was heavy dissambled motorcycles in steel frames/boxes, that we had to carry inside to the shop. The dealership owner was so cheap, that there was no forklift, crane or something to move the really heavy boxes with bikes. We used to carry the boxes in two people. The average weight was aroung 200kg (440lbs) sometimes exceeding 300kg (660lbs). I was young, 19 at the time, happy to have the job. I just was not thinking about any risks, and also i was really glad to have the job, so i did not complain. Real smart, exchanging my healty back for some little money that is already spent. Really, really smart... I am quite good at working on bikes so over time, it became more than i part time job. Year later i also crashed by bike on gravel, that also was something, that maybe helped with my back problems. At age 21, 3 months after the crash the big back problems came. I went to pick up skies on holiday, and the back started hurting. I did not stoped ever since. Year later, my gf sent me to a doctor ( i would not go there by my will). Slightly twisted intervertebral disc. I was at few specialists, doing some excercises. At the end, it did not helped much. Doctors opinion for the cause was rowing and picking the heavy steel frames with bikes, maybe with the help of the crash on the way. 23 now, feeling the back every day, the worst part for me is laying down into bed. 9 out of 10 days i move around in bed trying to find position, where the pain is accepteble. I dont complain to anyone, i dont like to bother my loved ones with it. I am able to do everything, sometimes i just need to sit down or hold onto something for a second. Most of the time the pain is little, but noticable. I would really love to be a farmer/rancher after i finish my university studies, so i need to deal with it. I dont take any medication, i am no girl and it does not help in the long run. Let it be a warning to the young guys. I exchanged my back for some little money. To everyone that read it, thank you for your time. Greetings from Czechia. Thank you, Essential Craftsmen, for the content, information and motivation. :)
They sell them on the Walmart app now.
Я извиняюсь, если что-то пропустил, но зачем такие массивные ворота делать распашными? У нас бы они были сдвигающимися в сторону по направляющим рельсам. С электроприводом естественно. Спасибо. I'm sorry if I missed something, but why make such a massive gate swing? We would have them sliding sideways along the guide rails. With an electric drive, of course. Thank you.
I'd suggest a Knipex Cobra over the Alligator. Get a big one, and maybe a small one too. You'll joyfully use them all the time!
Very good. Thank you for the video/info
I have a LOT of makita tools. The one exception is my dewalt tyre inflator. It is far superior so I bought everyone in my family one for their car.
This guy is great. A master at what he does and delivers the info with no ego. Too many handymen are condescending when teaching. Good for you sir
don't get pinched off fellas

'It's an infringement on freedom' : I would argue the complete opposite. It is defending the freedom of your neighbours - that to be free of danger, disquiet and damage, due to the actions of somebody else. You might be doing everything right - a lot of people unfortunately don't.
And that's why you don't use hardwood
How do you determine what the OC for the stud's?
A couple of years ago I commented on a video asking for this exact video. Thank you!
I'm worried some jackwagon from Amazon will plow into it and wreck the gate 🤦🏼♂️
first time watching a video on the channel. What a nice camera shot! Don't usually see such quality composition, lighting, and depth of field on a random KZread video. Nicely done. And interesting content also!
That gate should have been sliding rather than swinging here in Ireland we hot dip everything in galavanize it's a great job no more maintenance the top of that gate looks like an after taught
Where's you cheap ear plugs in a plastic case, where's your bic lighter. I carry a smaller model leather but I also carry a clip on small knife in the corner of my wallet pocket. ( I carry my wallet in my front pocket). someone arlready mentioned a bandana for multiple uses. And of course a pair of readers for those older eyes.
That's a nice looking gate without the wood.
Hey @EssentialCraftsman , Beautiful gate! If you had to build it again, would you consider putting grease fittings on the hinges? Why or why not?
Really great looking gate. You put a lot of effort and time into it and it really shows.
That porter cable router you pulled out is all we have in my shop. They’re incredibly well built and very reliable. If they need fixed we have a guy in Indianapolis that always comes through for us.
Coming together great! I did not watch the episode for the footer construction, but my gut engineer says that thing should be at least 6' deep and 18" diameter at minimum, especially in soggy Orrygon! As far as the hinge column goes, the kickers will help, 45 degrees is ideal. What would really help is some depth to the design, but it's a little late for that. I would stitch 4 vertical angles, say 2x2x1/4" , attaching the toes of the angles between the inside flange and web of the column, creating 4 small square "pipes" at the 4 corners. Four inches of weld on each toe, top and bottom and 2" on 12" @ a single 3/16" in between. Weld the ends of the angle to the baseplate while you're at it. It wouldn't hurt to put a horizontal strap connecting the the backs of the angles at each hinge point, and it's only 15 more minutes work. Prep every weld surface by grinding to clean metal, no cleaners necessary, and use only 7018; that 5P not the way to go. The best part is you don't even have to make beautiful welds, just so long as they are sound. It all gets covered up. Next, and most importantly, cut some strips of 1/4" plate and box-out the column by filling between the toes of the beam. For aesthetic purposes you can seal weld the outside face only, stitch the back plate, or seal weld both inside and outside face. I think the torsional stress is what's causing your binding issues, and until you make a box shape, it's going to continue to twist the column when the gate is in the open position. The top and bottom hinges are being forced in opposite directions, and I beams are not good at resisting twisting forces. The 4 angles will give you some additional vertical stiffness without changing the outer dimension. If you start on the back side, you'll have it down by the time you get to the front show welds. It will all be ground smooth in the end anyway. Regardless of the order, all the angles should be securely tacked in place to prevent drawing before stitch welding begins. If you are still having alignment issues at that point, I think your foundation is to blame and you may need to add your kicker bracing.
