hey Brandon and today's exciting episode we're gonna talk about 10
things that you may need if you are starting a building business
alright so the name of the video is correct but there's another reason I'm here today
I've finally got a storage container I lived in an apartment a very small apartment I need like
some sort of garage sort of thing that I can get all my stuff and messy things like wheelbarrows
letters things like there that you can't put in a tiny tiny apartment okay let's get the obvious
things out the way first if you see my first video what to get for a first-year apprentice
basically it's your tool belt with all the stuff in it your framing gun like this skilled sword
drills things like there so beyond there is we build up a bit of a collection first and
foremost is drop sword or if you're in America you'd call it a miter saw I recommend this one
as well this is a 10 inch I've got a Dewalt video about this drop saw which you can check
out down below and I'll put a link to pretty much every tool I mention in this video I'll
put a link below this is on the wall stand as well the fold-out stand these are really good
and I've got it hooked up to the pistol MIDI vacuum cleaner I think I need into the bag
because as you can see it is it's quite a bit of duster and when the bags empty and things are
going alright it extracts pretty well I mean if you're if you'll be building for long enough to
start your own company there's probably a high possibility you already have a miter saw so I
probably don't need to tell you this but one thing that took me a little while to get was a table saw
do you waltz dw7 for 5e it's just a great table saw very portable one person can take it in and
out very easily and it comes with this sweet middle stand like I said I've already done
a video on this and the drop source if you want more details about those link below okay another
must some sort of fold out of interesting I use these fold out saucers yeah good I wouldn't say
they're the best ever but they are a good solution you can fold them up flat they fit
nicely inside the van and you can pretty much make a bench wherever you go with the other six
tools on the list look at this this one here is my one that I've had like 10 years and this one
here is the very latest Nikita and Petra DTD one-seven-one I found out this came out so I
had a Makita and I said is there any chance that I could borrow this and try it out and
they said yes so I've got this for a few weeks first impressions so damn light so damn small
and it's got a lot of power but I'll do a proper review in the coming weeks now next on the list
of tools you need as a builder who has a building company is the track saw I have the makita track
store it's a pretty good substitute for the pistol one they obviously copied it but it does the job
laser levels the first one there's the outside laser level I like to call it this is a Geo max
LT 300 and it's sort of where the resistant I use this kind of thing for leveling out foundations
houses that kind of stuff it comes with this receiver here that you put on the start and
you know what a laser level is you see the line with that it spins around and this receives that
spinning laser you can mark a liberal line and cross her across the distance as you start your
own company doing foundations is inevitable and using a laser level it's very important but maybe
he wants to make a little smaller for little jobs and that's where this comes in look how
tiny it is will make something for that later letters they were always just around when you
did your apprenticeship at least for me anyway ladders were just always there I had to buy my
own later I actually have about two letters because sometimes the six-foot one it's too
boring and annoying number nine a router I've always had a plunge router corded version this
little Makita trimmer router however is the way to go it's so handy you just put a battery in
it and then you're ready to go and when a tool is handy you use it a lot more often
well there you go storage dear number one hey tool number 10 a jigsaw pretty crucial for the
building game this is the barrel grip 18 volt Makita jigsaw I love it I love it a lot I've
also got the yeah what's it got the coping foot for cutting coats like I said earlier
everything will be down below if you want to look into giving that stuff yourself those
are 10 tools but really this list could go on I mean what was in here before which I still have
is the hammered room I mean this is pretty damn handy when you want to put bolts into concrete
in a bottom plate of timber or something or you want to chip up some old tiles this is
super handy and then of course is a grinder you need a pretty reliable brand if it has grinding
dust for concrete and know you're gonna need that when you run a business well so now that
you're running a business you can't just have one level you got to have all different sizes
you got to have your 1200 you go to have your six you got to have your long straight edges up
if you don't already have a battery skill you better get one and also a sander because you
got to do a lot of trim work and you are sort of in charge of finishing their work now and
it has to be at a good quality standard you can't rely on the painters planer if you're
doing renovations you better have one of these as this is a super chemical and a torch bring
your pricing jobs you got to go under the house sometimes and you need light this will give you
light a framing gun there's not enough you also need a finishing gun clamps a broom first-aid
kit safety mask another safety mask hamsa lip pencils not to mention the shovels that I don't
even have here right now and the wheelbarrows - you need wheelbarrows and a bin you got to put
your rubbish somewhere when you're on site you can't just keep going skip every time don't let
any of us put you off you want to start your own business just do it I didn't have all the stuff on
day one I've accumulated over the last couple of years hints the reason I need this storage
