Scott Brown here welcome to another sunny episode today is the QA
well we might as well started off with the questions related through the DeWalt cordless
stuff because I've been using that lately and there were a lot of questions about it what
are your thoughts on the DeWalt cordless extractor when is Cameron studying a youtube channel Cameron
so when he's starting what are you starting a YouTube channel I'm not I'm gonna stay on
Instagram okay Jason from Walt was actually here just the other day and he came and picked it up
he said he can bring it back after a couple of days I said now that's all good I'm happy to go
back to the 10-inch Dewalt that I originally had and my reason for that is not anything to do with
how good or bad the store is it's a great saw if you want a battery drop saw that's a pretty
good battery drop store to buy but I don't need a battery drop so that's what I realized after
trying the makita out and trained that the world out I prefer using my fissile vacuum cleaner and
that's power so as soon as I plug that in I might as well plug in a drops or to it and then I don't
have to worry about turning the vacuum on remotely or turning it on before I make a cut so so I guess
that answers the 100% quarters question I would say I'm probably 80% cordless all my hand tools
you've seen them in my videos my multi tools drills skill saws things like that cordless
fantastic but I'm gonna stick with power drop stores and table saws for now okay on depending
on what hose you have oh yeah so we got the thicker hose 32 so we took it on that it's not
to do with the the clog control of something and it's bluetooth obviously sold on cup of tea asks
hey Bo how would you compare the DeWalt cordless dust extractor with your fist or MIDI I know the
MIDI costs more but is the DeWalt pretty good mainly for jib does chair member yeah I would go
with the fist oh we had a few problems with that Dewalt dust extractor the alarm went off a lot
basically it detects blockage and then the alarm goes off to tell you that it's block
CF since here the alarm would go off would pull it apart and then there wouldn't even
be anything blocking the hose and maybe the one we had had been beaten up a little
bit and when I looked up the price of the door dust extractor was over a thousand New Zealand
Dollars and that's only a couple hundred dollars off the fist also I would go with a festival
Diaby 96 us would you consider a new van like cameron's or are you sticking with
the style you have Cameron's vans awesome and when I first saw it straight away I was like
yeah that's that's my future that's what I'm getting since then I've learned to appreciate
the size of my van just for parking and here in Auckland wherever you live needs to have
a garage or somewhere safe to park your van the higher your van the more difficult that
searches so I'm happy with the style of an I have but Cameron's van is awesome Harry
mokou asks do you ever buy a Milwaukee tools I bought one Milwaukee tool just went here
it's a Rubik gun it's a great rivet gun again speaking of Cameron he let me borrow his one
he has the same rivet gun and I liked it so much that I got one for myself
so I've officially got a Milwaukee tool now it's only the 12 volt but I've seen some of
their 12 volt tools and they look pretty cool so who knows maybe I'll add to the collection
machine Craig asked my Q&A question is what is your favorite tool at the minute and why love
your vids by the way maybe the river gang no I don't use that enough the Trek saw was probably
still my favorite just because it gets such clean cuts and you can it's very versatile I really like
the checks or I'm just yesterday I was trimming a door with their tracks or and it reminded me
super clean cut all right to do it was paint the bottom of it and then I could rehang it and it was
brand new Michael Archer us if you were stranded on a desert island and with you was a toolbox
inside only three tools what would they be and why probably a series of saws something that I could
or chisel something I could use to shape the trees or something with and make a raft and get the hell
out of there basically Geordi beeston gaming us instead of videos every so often would you do a
daily vlog I love to but because what I'm filming is me and my carpentry business I still need time
to work on that carpentry business so when I'm not editing videos or come up with video ideas
so I'm planning the work that we're doing or trying to get work we're doing invoicing or a
lot of the business related stuff so I still need time to do that plus I have a girlfriend
and I don't know how long she would tolerate me editing every single day so no daily vlogs
and the second part of this question was Cameron I'd love to know how much of tools I let Cameron
answer that one yeah see that kind of information I'm not gonna give out on camera because my wife
will kill me hey Scott loved your videos but what kind of camera do you use greetings from Georgia
USA um I use Kenan a DD there's a good camera a good entry-level DSLR you don't necessarily
need a camera like this my name Rob he has entire YouTube channel was filmed on his phone and he's
doing great so if you want to get into this I assume people who asked that question want to
maybe do their own videos just use whatever you have and maybe upgrade as you can that's what
I've done is so I eventually got to this camera and II serve wanna do your customers ever object
to you filming their projects or believe it will slow it down possibly costing them more in time to
finish it and more money because you're on site longer I it's one of the first things I get out
when I meet new customers can i film you know I tell him about the channel when I ask them if
they're cool with me filming the work I do and everyone said yes so far I'm pretty open about
the time it takes me to to film and I take it off for invoices or I take the cost song but if
somebody were to say no we don't want you to film them I would totally respect that because we are
working inside people's houses James L asked how many hours per week do you spend editing heaps
of late nights yeah each video is probably about five hours editing I've got it down to like three
hours at the best again the more you do it the more efficient you get so I'm still working on
that the problem is as I do more videos I want to try newer things so I'm continually trying things
that I'm not that good at which makes the videos better but it doesn't bring their editing time
down at all so that's the fun part Michael lynyrd us did you ever think about going into management
or doing an office based construction job and why definitely not I like the physical creative
side of what I do and I have to do the office side because their money a business to have a job that
was purely there yeah it's not me being Rogers ass would you ever want to take on an apprentice
if not how come maybe if we had a project that was big enough and currently our projects are
not there two to three days at a time sometimes a couple of weeks but if we have a big project then
yeah maybe I would revisit that Michael drechsler I get the sense you were happy doing what you were
doing at the moment what would be the next step in expanding the business I've always been motivated
by the type of projects for doing this floating shelf thing that we're doing at the moment and
the plywood panels I like doing interesting jobs like that so if I got like a large interesting
renovation that would that would be an ideal way to expand the business but yeah that's that's what
motivates me things that are cool and interesting to work on and also cool interesting different
Doug Saunders asked who is going to win the Rugby World Cup I hope New Zealand the All Blacks I hope
I hope the All Blacks win I've grown up watching new Blair I've already got their on-demand thing
on my phone so I'll be watching their over the next couple of months the wee Scott my queue for
QA would be what brought you to sunny Scotland how long were you here and whereas with an Edinburgh
did you work I've touched on this in previous episodes my parents grew up in Edinburgh most
of my family's in Scotland and I was born there so I was kind of going back if anything I really
enjoyed it it was awesome I was there first went back in 2012 and I was there for a couple years
travelled around came back went back again with my girlfriend we lived over in Edinburgh so with me
back and forth I also went to the Isle of Wight as well I was there probably three months total
working working on this seaside cottage thing with a thatched roofs was really interesting
work UN Feeney us where do you prefer working in New Zealand or Scotland and would you ever
come back to work and Scotland love to come back to work in Scotland mr. from positives from both
I started my career in New Zealand so I've got all the different contacts here I like being outdoors
and a lot of building work here is based outdoors over in Scotland is a lot more traditional
buildings it's very interesting seeing how those buildings get put together over there so if there
are any exciting projects yeah hit me up I love - I'd love to go back a lot of questions were
about pi - ed the neck in AV asks how is part of [ __ ] coming along I think we only saw the floor
going that's it oh bloody illegitimate I think it's going good as far as I know he's got most
of the cedar with the boards on so it's starting to look like a cabin now so I hope that answers
a few of your questions obviously I couldn't answer all of them and maybe we'll do this
again thanks for watching this exciting episode look forward to seeing you in the next month
Dargis we're done two thumbs up
