it's got Brad here and today's exciting episode we talk about five different tools
that the old me from two years ago didn't even know he needed I've been using them
for the last couple of years and they're fantastic I know I said the next episode
will be about this wall but the pain is so during the ceiling and I want the big reveal
at the end of the episode so I mean that's it it's plywood wall alright let's get on with it
all right five tools that I didn't know I needed number one is the reason I made
this video and that is the razor saw I got this from my mate guest on oh here we go
again when I got it I have to admit I thought I'm probably not gonna use it I just like the
look of it but I use it all the time you can finish your skirting corners off and it's been
amazing this thing made by gear Kucha and they make those Japanese soles that we use and the
blades are replaceable kind of just looks like your regular stanley knife why don't
you can put these blades in the stanley knife she probably can yeah not working especially
if you've got the right width knife you could probably do it and because it's so small you
can just keep it in your tool belt and you have a mini handsaw at all times so that's number one
right
so here is the floating shelf
okay how about that TV sitting on there who's gonna cut this little ripping now with the razor
saw just well it's like an ad it's not a net I just really like these tools and have improved
your life yeah it's improved my life so it might improve yours the next thing on the five tools
that I didn't know I needed a couple years ago is this CA glue here this happens to be
a finished carpentry TV's glue great channel if you haven't checked it out this stuff is
instant glue basically and we're gonna use it to glue this bullet on the inside of this floating
shelf to add a bit more glue contact and a bit more strength on the join now a lot of you guys
in the UK in Europe probably America too will be familiar with this glue but I honestly win
10 years or something for even saw it wasn't I went to the UK and I saw builders using it
to do their mitres it's 2-part glue well it's one part but this stuff speeds up the drying process
it's pretty instant so I probably want to give that thing pretty quick we didn't even need the
accelerator do it or not it's got huge advantages in terms of assembling joints and we used it when
we did the shelf to assemble the motors so we had a lot of PVA glue in there to do most of the work
and we use the CA glue to hold it in place for the 10 seconds that it needs to dry we've got
to be quick around here water pouring down and so that little strip is probably dry now we're
gonna cut a hatch on top of this flutter shelf and that'll be for the sky decoder that's gonna
drop in and not be visible but anyway that's all later we'll put that in the proper video for the
phony shelf right now the third tool that I didn't know I needed to number three we try
to do a throw thing but it just didn't work I'm making a blooper at the end this is here
the air wedge 140 kilograms I'll put the pounds here looked a singie the way I use this is when
I'm hanging a door and you know the door needs to be about 10 to 20 mil off the ground I slide this
underneath pump it up if the door hinges aren't quite lining up I need to go up more pump it up
a little more and if it's too far you just push the princess butter and put some pressure on it
and a little Samira it's an adjustable air wedge basically and it is very very handy it's also good
if you are doing Windows and you want to tweak the window to the right of the lift and get it
plump you slide that in the gap and you push it to one side and if you need it to come back you
just go like that and get multiple air wedges and put it in all the corners it's a very handy
thing to have so that is two number three that I didn't know I needed but now use all the time
okay so here's the bench o kumi plywood and it's 12 mil thick and with my today on the
cornice here and here we have the architectural drawings for the hatch just realize that glue
isn't really a tool is it you kind of use it like a tool that holds things for you so I'm
calling it a tool for the purpose of this video - number 4 the right angle drill bit
so here's your drill and there's the spinning bit and this is very good for areas where you
can't reach you can't quite get the drill in there because maybe it that part hurts
all you have to do is slide this part in this can slip into much smaller gaps that
the drill cannot quite fit into and we've used it in a lot of videos and almost every time we
use it someone asks so now you know the right angle drill bit I'll put a link below a lot
of companies make them now they're available in most hardware stores how it suggests to get one
so this hatch goes right here right we want the TV to cover the lines so you only see it when you
look down the side if you really want to look just play that up all right hatch will marked
out we put masking tape on top of the plywood and get our pencil marks on top of that masking tape
so we don't have pencil marks everywhere and we're gonna use the Trachsel with a very thin blade this
blade you can even see it this blade here it's a Makita if he cut blade and that leaves like a
2 mil gap this is the crucial part is the okay to follow the tracks are on the corners because
we want this hatch to stay there and be have the grain running with the risks of the shelf
the first and final two it's good that you here can good time Cameron gave me
this measuring tape it's not the only measuring tape that does what
this measuring tape to us but it is one of them and what it can do is get your
measurement by doing this oh my god see that zoom right down so rather than just
that's because they have to have a separate measurement system right here in the middle
that shows what the measurement would be from the end of the tap to the back of the tape so
since Cameron here gave me this tape I've used to quite a lot it was really good when
we're measuring inside that scullery and we could just measure water wall and make sure
that the cabinet's would fit in the space and it's made for lefty or righty so yeah
that's um five tools that a couple years ago I didn't know I needed and now I use all the
time okay thanks to the measuring tape damn it bring up the glue it should be free there
we'll leave that dry the little supports now it's lunchtime this is more the list
you carry the more you know well this what's good about those tools that
we talked about in today's episode I feel they're just small hand tools and they're
pretty cheap they help you get the job done christmas is coming up bow for me
all right so we're just going to put this shuffling properly and then I do a proper
video of the whole shelf all being put together and then the TV finally going
on top of it finale be very cool no Rugby World Cups coming out and we're
gonna try and at least watch one game here on that TV on a floating shelf let's all go
one hatchbacks Oh Oh my vans total miss having much need for an admin day but we did it floating
shelf in I look forward you're doing a full video on there but it's good that it's soon
this is a lot to number three you know trying to it with one hand to number three to number three
to number three one two three ready to number
three we try to do a thorough thing but it just didn't work
