scott brown here in today's exciting episode well before today's exciting episode begins
this video is sponsored by skillshare now the thing i like about skillshare is that it lets you
learn new skills in a time frame that suits you there are a whole bunch of courses to choose from
teaching a range of skills i'm still working my way through the productivity master class by ali
abdar the full name is productivity masterclass principles and tools to boost your productivity
and it has helped me do exactly that ali has a really accessible way of teaching he it feels
like you're in the room with him which i like i find that super helpful i've also been eyeing
up the course by tabitha park about photography building a complete photography kit cameras lenses
storage and tools and i'm basically a rubbish photographer i'm more about filming so any skills
that i can pick up from tabitha will be great so if you like the idea of learning something
in a manageable way that works for you then check out the link below in the description the first
1000 people to click it will get a free trial of skillshare's premium membership and then after
that it's only around 10 a month so skillshare go and learn something new in your own time
check this out this here is a piece of kodi same stuff that i'm standing on same as the
flooring it's an old rafter or old joist by the looks of it i know i think it's an old
bearer it's got sort of nails now the reason i have this bearer so i'm going to make a little
ramp that goes into the bathroom kind of like i did for the laundry so the issue we have here is
these tiles these tiles are sitting on top of a waterproofing membrane which is on top of a
underfloor heating layer and then that's on top of tile underlay which is on top of plywood and then
just outside the bathroom what i'm sitting on right now is just timber flooring so the bathroom
is higher than the floor outside now nobody wants to stub their toe on the difference here
so that's where the little ramp comes in
potter's got a whole operation going here oh you went for two so what we have here is a wide board
wide piece of native timber hard to replicate and it goes in a prominent position above the
lean-to roof so we pulled it off but this is old stuff it already had cracks in it
and when we pulled it off um it was hard work trying to keep it together but we managed we
got two pieces we just had to repair a little bit here and then underneath
to help keep it together we have these bow ties first time first time you've done the
mate butter so the idea of this is it's checked into the timber and the timber has a big split
through here so it wants to keep going like that now the bow tie is checked in and it's
effectively stopping the timber from moving outward it's holding it it's tying it oh tying it
bow tying it when it's more difficult to replace the timber than it is to repair it so before i
um before i go make my little ramp we're pretty much outside now because of the four sander so i'm
just sneaking in now to make this little ramp and then get out so it's done in time for him to put
some coaster polyurethane on it um we want to get rid of the scaffold that's out here the scaffold
has been out here longer than we want it to be we had to abandon the outside work so we could focus
on the inside we had the kitchen booked floor sander all the rest of it so now we have a chance
to get those little bits and pieces done that we need the scaffold for and then scaffold's gone
so
when i saw that
um
wow that epoxy here is this the exciting moment it's always exciting to stop right now i agree
exactly
i guess the glue is going to escape somewhere
a lot of blue in there good that's good eric what are you doing eric right above the saw story
that glue will be stronger than the timber
yes good idea hey buddy hey buddy hey buddy hey buddy
wow done
i think it's that time of day still
what are you doing on the road come on buddy come on come on come on
welcome to another exciting edition of smoker time potter needs a hat
that was quick is that the one you go for i
thought it'd be more of a shopping adventure than that
so it's getting very hot here in new zealand some ways it's hotter than it used to be at
this time of year usually it cools down in march but last year was really hot really nice weather
this is the same oh yeah but by the time this video goes up
oh
probably can't hear me i'll do subtitles okay i'll do subtitles right here
so that furthest point that i was talking about 29 mil is based on here
there is when i push this against the wall and i rocked it it was pivoting on this weatherboard so
that way it was sticking out more than all the others so that is the point that i get
so although this is a very long scriber the same principles apply
you get the thing parallel and here's the next step
find the deepest point the point from your scriber to the furthest point of the weatherboard and uh
i could tell earlier when i was marking the other one right about here is the deepest point
yeah i'll make it 26 mil just to be sure and it still has four mil before the curve starts
those 18 gauge pins pop off easy
all right final moments before the first coat goes on
man this is gonna look so good
there we go that's all primed up now feed it down the feed it down the loop here
i'll be honest this is one of my favorite things to do with scrabbles it's just satisfying look
at that see now you've got a couple of mil until the curve starts that was the goal
achievement unlocked and the other thing is that do you silicon them
yeah you're just getting tighter just getting good there let's get them right
and then we just pop little 16 gauge pins here and there
see i use the 18 gauge as a temporary hold and for the permanent i've gone with 16 gauge you can get
longer 16 gauge now so we can get right through that weatherboard and then i make it high enough
on the weatherboard so it doesn't go into the other weatherboard you don't want that at all
to look good i think so comments will be the judge always
good pain it will fix the uh it's going to be now to the top kid don't look too closely
looking good though very nice and even any last words for you scrubber ah i'm just i'm just happy
to be here what about you potter did you do a nice scrub around there better than me hey
scott brown here
the bell what do you think of this little operation what do you think
of this operation look glue that on what crack when kind of see there and they use
mean handiwork on the other side yeah flip it over
yeah look at that so cool the bowtie you're a craftsman potter with my hands
patio sanded and sealed no worries glenn hey shout out mate see you erica
ah all right we're nearly done a few little bits and pieces out here
not far from being ready to take the scaffold down the owners are going to paint those big
boards that pedo restored and uh yeah then we'll chuck them up on the roof probably in the next
exciting episode so yeah stay tuned for that one smash like smash subscribe see the next one
another beautiful scriber is it harlow sing a beauty bro that's a great new hat you got there
just ripping bro yeah not an ad not ad oh my god don't zoom in too close mate
looks exactly like a scrubber just getting a free ad here buddy yeah
you
