you
do
so my job is to renovate my own house and make carpentry videos about it so
I thought I would do a day in the life to show you how most days go here at
Scot Brown carpentry we' got a couple of meetings today I've got a window to get
ready and a bit more of the kitchen stuff to sort out but of course coffee comes
first so we've got two kitchens at the moment and it's just as well because we've had a bit
of a roadblock on the kitchen that we're currently building there nothing serious or anything I just
got to get extra hardware for under the sink handles things like that and stays that will
hold open sort of flap door that's going to go up there which I need to work on today the the
only one that's a little bit tricky is bench tops by all accounts we're probably not going to get
one before the end of the year so I'm starting to think of a temporary bench [Music] top check this
out this is a brass handle I only ordered one cuz I wanted to see what it was like and it arrived
and it's solid brass and it feels quality so that would be how it goes right nice and subtle and
once the Timber's oiled it look more like that beautiful but now I'm going to order enough for
the whole kitchen and can't order it the website that I'm ordering it off limits me to 16 of them
and then it just says you can't order anymore so now I have to try and figure out if they have any
more in stock or if I can order from someone else and have it match I just sent an email to
them hopefully they have more of them all these things just cause [Music] delays so we just had
one meeting which worked out all right um could lead to a sponsorship thing which is how we fund
the channel right we get revenue from the YouTube ads so when you click a video and the ad pops up
we get a prop portion of that Revenue um and Google send us a sort of random amount every
single month and because that's random it helps us so much that we have sponsorships that aren't
random they fixed prices that we negotiate and then it's a more short income that we can count
on now we got another meeting but in between we need to have something to eat now I'd like
to just be building and filming the whole time but we have to fund this thing somehow right so
talking to people that could help us do that very fundamental hey oh my gosh to make mine so so I
can't eat with you sorry you got to have a look at this capin there's some mint there beautiful
greens halumi I think is that halumi Jess yes amazing she whipped this up in like 10 [Music]
minutes this gu is the K well they're not very keen actually anyway I swear
last Tuesday oh well done it's cold colder than I thought yeah
it's really nice second meeting over we should probably do some
[Music] building so even though it's our house and it's our Channel and now timer
we can kind of use it how we want we still have to prioritize things you know in order to make
some progress on the job and make good videos we need to be smart about what we choose to
do and our budget is limited we only spend what we earn and that's why Ray isn't here today for
example Ray will be here next week hopefully and I'd like to do the back wall where the
future toilet's going to go and the first step there is to put a new window in and that's what
this is so rather than Ray and I building this little window I'm going to build it right now
and then next week Ray and I can put it in um the other thing I need to do is continue
finishing the doors for the kitchen that way once they're all done and I know the gaps are
sweet and they don't need any more trimming then I can start oiling them all and then hopefully
by the time I've oiled them all I've got those handles sorted out right let's build a [Music]
window [Music]
[Music] this is why I sometimes I'm not in
[Music] focus seems [Music] close
[Music] so to get the side measurement I have to take into account the fact that
the window sash has a certain height and that certain height comes from here but
the window side has to drop down further than here and go to there so 5 mil plus
the ideal window sash which is 806 plus 11 mil which I'll show you that in a sec
equals the length from The Long Point that's the angle that's the Long [Music]
Point
gorilla grip that's the glue I'm using oh look at that going to get a fish tube so this is a
detail that I alluded to before I'm just about to glue this [Music] up what a noisy cars today
sort of half flap joint that's so we're not just relying on screws and nails and then join it up
and then this window frame is all ready and I can prime it later once the glue sits and get
on to the timber doors so that's what building's like trying to juggle multiple things at a time
and on a renovation it can be tricky and from like a YouTuber perspective it can be tricky as
well and an IG World I'll be able to do a start to finish video every week you know me building
the kitchen start to finish me putting all the windows in or double glazing all the windows
start to finish but it just doesn't work like that next week I'll be putting this window in
I'm sure but it took today and possibly tomorrow to get the window ready anyway let's get all of
it
[Music] 0:07:59.320,1193:02:47.295 [Music]
too busy thinking about
filming this is the wrong way around that weaer Groove needs to be up I'm [Music] done
hey Scotty I have some emails I need to talk to you about can we do it tonight yeah
okay we can do it this evening hi it's Jessica from Scot BR carpentry how are
[Music] you
[Music]
w
[Music]
I think they turned out good we continued the grain there above the pantry now I got to think
of a way to open those top doors I'm thinking push to open not sure if that'll work for those types
of hinges the soft clo hinges but the handles I was talking about earlier these ones we did
sort out we put an order in and we're looking at another handle now for the pantry doors I
feel like you want to grab a big sort of handle for the pantry doors rather than these little
things so for them and the dishwasher which is going to be integrated we're going to have
like a a bigger handle which we have to order now these are the fun things we do behind the
scenes so fun so these are the handles that we've chosen uh the gold one because it goes
quite nicely with this I don't know if Scott has already said but it was so hard to find
something nice there's just nothing out there this was the nicest most simple handle we can
find and to buy three of them I think is going to be about $270 That's not including shipping
but that's for solid brass sure but I feel like that's also New Zealand very limited options and
very expensive if you want anything that's not just what's at the standing Merchants which we
didn't want that so we're not trying to do like a premium build it's just that we want
things to be nice um turns out that's really hard if I sound a little bit frustrated I
am ity line hazy pale ale locally made cheers D Cheers Cheers it's been a funny week cheers it
has been a funny week hasn't it did we talk about the fact that we went away to cityne last weekend
no I didn't mention that are we going to yeah we um this is a short week for us we came back from
Sydney we went for a long weekend obviously we didn't film it or anything like that other
than on our phones oh my God it's a dinosaur we just had a holiday we had a holiday and for us uh
not making videos is part of having a holiday but yeah we we had a really good time it was awesome
we went around the city never been there both of us well you I haven't been there when I was
a kid but like 20 20 years ago all right look at this crazy place that is an old prison this is a
cell block a cell block theater and it's in the heart of Sydney like Prime real estate and it's
an old prison so they turned it into a theater um we even met up with a YouTuber Pula Studios
I don't know if youve checked out that channel but you really should if you haven't um he does
a lot of Woodworking and he does like amazing woodworking like curved Timber and crazy stuff
and he he gave me a lot of advice when we started building the kitchen too so it was great to meet
him and talk about this weird job that we both have which is making videos for a living yeah it
was really fun meeting um Nick and his partner um we don't know any YouTubers yeah sometimes that's
quite weird well we know Tim from the alcat I've never met him W yeah so I I've never met any other
YouTubers not that I'm a YouTuber you're the YouTuber you're a YouTuber no I'm just YouTuber
adjacent so there might be a few skateboarders in the audience I hope there are because my intro
was a homage is that how you say that homage yeah is a homage to a skateboarding series called 411
Video magazine that was out in the mid90s to early 2000s on video cassette so we're going
back a bit and I used to watch that when I was a kid and get really inspired to skate and and
ultimately inspired to make videos because it wasn't long after I watched those videos where
I bought this my first camera oh my God you still have that so old flip screen if I can figure out
how to open it there we go and it's got mini discs but this is broken I can't actually open
it and I would make skateboarding videos with my friends and edit them and put silly soundtracks
and do stupid things and I think me and my friends were inspired by jackass as well we
did a lot of stunts but anyway this is my first camera so 90s kid AR he's go yeah so when I was
like oh this week I'll do a day in the life video I was thinking oh I could do it like
the 411 Video magazine day in a life videos and then I realized wait a minute I'm up to episode
411 Written in the Stars Jess couldn't believe it your world's colliding colliding blowing
up so that was the idea of the intro anyway um I totally hurt myself by the way when I fell on that
ramp we might have to go to the radiologist tomorrow and check
it out hopefully it's not to the damaged don't skate on a wet mini
ramp a Scotty big silly huh no it's fine it's fine thank you
for watching this exciting episode and I'll see you in the next one
