I appreciate how he shows a technique the first time, like the 45 degree cuts, then shows the results for the subsequent items. Many content creators pad their video with repetition. Not NYW. This is why I never skip through. I don’t want to miss anything.

It is watchable precisely for those reasons. Awful, inappropriate stock music, time-lapses, and egotistical presenters / commentaries are a major turn off.

I lay A LOT of slab for patio's, slabs break, no matter how hard you try not to break them, some just have weak points.......imagine having one of those break whilst you are walking on them or worse still one breaking whilst a child walks on it, you will more than likely need a trip to the A&E, but will not be seen for hours because the country in a right shit pile under this government and Labour.

The lead topped nail was an early way of holding electrical cable to a wall. Tiffany is a delight and quite helpful for such a young girl, I'm curious about the arch in the garden wall, what on earth could that have been so low down? I think I may have kept it more visible as a feature, but the overall finish it both imaginative, very pleasing & as ever very well done

@crapiecorn 5 күн бұрын

Yes, that was what I was thinking. You probably don't have to drop something super heavy on it to crack it. I was hoping that was going to make something out of wood. But with UK weather it's not going to last super long and turn into slippery algae magnet. Great work as always. Maybe a bit a bit more detail into the pointing but thats just nitpicking

Disclaimer: computer programmer and not a mechanical engineer. Yup. It would be interesting to look at the spec sheets for those but they did not look particularly thick. I wouldn’t want to be moving some heavy kitchen appliances across that patio, etc. Why wasn’t the void filled with gravel so at least if they break you don’t get a gashed up leg?
