I liked the tip of the round over on the end grain. I actually bought myself the Makita 18v router due to watching how many places you made good use of it here on your channel. The fact that it is battery operated and so much smaller than a typical router, I've come to use it on nearly every installation and my products are better for it! Thanks Scott!

Preparing to build my first deck, at my own place. Enjoying your videos Scott. Thanks for taking the time to film/edit and post. I'm a house painter so maintenance is easily done, it's just installation I'm researching as much as possible. I'm thinking of going spotted gum, and want the picture framing, also a deck path going off the deck. Located Australia NSW Cheers.

@javiersal6149 4 жыл бұрын

Hey Scott I am a painter in Sydney and I have found that staining the timber prolongs the life instead of putting a clear. It’s like putting on a clear jumper to stop getting sunburnt instead of putting on a coloured one. Love the channel mate.

@mickeybowmeister1944 4 жыл бұрын

Here in Aussie we always install a Protectadeck uPvc strip on top of the joists. It helps seal around the screw and deflects rain off the joists mitigating long term rot. Should be available at Bunnings in NZ.

@michaeldb8477 Жыл бұрын

I've binge watched many of your videos. Have enjoyed them and the care put into your craft down there in NZ. On the other hand there was just something about the way your e's in the word deck, were lighter than the harsher sounds up here in CA. The e's sounded like i's and it was amazing how all of your advice still seemed amusingly valid. And yes, as the individual before me said, trimming the bush around your deck will make it look bigger

Hi Scott you create some amazing hardwood decks with excellent detailing. I have noticed man made decking boards are becoming increasingly popular here probably in no small part due to weather we get in the west of Scotland, it’s safe to say we rarely if ever have to worry about hosepipe bans due to a lack of rain!

i like to use an offcut of decking as a story rod, i put one measured line of fasteners in, then scribe that spacing onto the offcut and notch them on the drop saw. then line up the edge of the board with the screws in the module boards, make sure the notches look rightly placed on the decking and then just run the drill bit down each notch. super fast and no pencil lines to rub out, and the notches also help stop the bit from wandering at all

Scott Brown Carpentry I will say that we house sat for a colleague in Melbourne over Christmas/ New Year and they had a composite deck. Man did that sucker heat up. It was fairly unbearable to walk on with bare feet. Something else to consider
