scott brown here today's exciting episode we're doing some framing now i'm changing drop saws
this is my new drop saw now i didn't get it from milwaukee themselves i got it from a guy
who works for milwaukee though so i will pop the word advertisement there just in case there we go
the m18 fms184 so when i was using that dewalt drop saw that was a drop saw that kind of did
everything but for everyday use it was a little bit overkill you don't need such a big saw to cut
4x2 so i bought the festool capex to do the nice stuff and now i've got this to do the everyday
stuff it's cordless lightweight very mobile and hopefully good enough to do everyday framing
now because i use the drop saw stand for everything
i'm going to get more of these for the festool and uh these new ones here for the milwaukee
we are
okay
there's no capex one thing i like about the milwaukee arms it's a pity i don't have a
milwaukee stand is look part of the bolt is within the arm so all you need is the right allen key
and you screw directly into that whereas with the dewalt one
you've got the washers and bolts and you have to have a spanner hold the
bolt in place and then a screwdriver to screw the top in it's a good idea
um it was the other day that we started laying this out and i'll cut to a shot now
of how we make it match with the existing house oh what's going on here oh my god daylight
we're cutting that channel on the wall because we want to frame the new extension and it starts
starts from here now that we have this channel here cut out we can we can uh project the wall
out here so we've got dodger blocks out there we've got one of these nailed at the other end so
the line is that thick away from the wall frame and we've got another block here in the middle
so the idea is you pull it tight until it touches the block there that's roughly where we are there
so so 100 103. the bottom plate here is about 100 403 same as the bottom plate and our 90 our 90 mm
wall was gonna have to be packed the old style framing in new zealand is like 100 mil rust on
and what we use now is 90. so we always put the 90 mil and then we pack the inside it's much
easier to pack the inside after the building's been closed in than it is to pack the outside
a laser but you can rich here can you gonna see it
you got it i think it's moving around like crazy we're like 133
it looks level i think we're just double checking we don't have the stabilizer we don't have the
beep beep beep so we're going to use the bottom plate there's a layout tool for the top plate
and then you do the same on this there we go now the mark lines up with this
start at the top and as long as i make sure the marks line up then it
doesn't matter that the wall is going like that we know we're in the right position
it's pretty good it's not perfect man we strive for perfection scott absolutely
could have seen a bit of myself yeah that's not plummy though that'd be why
the whole thing needs to go that way let's push it
it
that's pretty good there this should be the plum now have we marked it out right oh my god
plum that's perfect couldn't be better it's like you know what you're doing
it's like we're professionals so we nailed them together to create a
300x
four five fifteen confirmed
so
hi there mean time this is the beam that sits above the bifold doors and allows you
to get the massive well quite large four and a half meter span the heights high as well
couple
it's like it's got a loose connection
somewhere
there see look
so what's the secret to a good good bird's mouth putter just cut straight i guess a good template
good temperature all right off the same template what do you reckon i think it sounds good wow
all right so you've ripped them all and then you cross cut them
smooth ass so you got a bit of a production line going
well some muck around scott yep it's taught by uber i talk about the best it's 11. i agree
so what we do here is we put a dodger block what we call a dodger block
it could be any thickness of block just as long as you've got three blocks the same thickness
and you put another one in now let the other end string line goes over the block
and then we use the third block as a spacer as long as that wall is equally
as far away from the string line as the thickness of the spacer you're good to go
so
very windy day tumultuous weather you could say
shaky camera but all worth it in the end you can see the extension coming together now
so this is the laundry part of us we're gonna put a wall there door there that's your height
of your window so that's super high there we go i can just touch the top of the window
i've got a bit more framing to do on that ceiling on that roof fixings lots of fixings these are
the glorious days that you look like a superstar it slows down from here thanks for watching this
exciting episode right so my first impressions of the milwaukee uh 185 mil drop store i think
really good a couple of little glitchy things when i turn it on sometimes it wouldn't turn on
and then it would kick in almost like there's like a loose wire or something and rich
pointed out that the light was still on when that happened so it seems to be from the trigger to the
motor rather than from the battery to the motor speaking of batteries uh today i paid attention
to the battery we had a full fully charged eight amp um milwaukee battery and that went all day
and we cut all those rafters a bunch of nog studs we even cut some 200 by 50 nogs at one point
and the drops are handled at five um yeah so far so good and you can carry it with one hand
