Drawbore tenon joinery on the miter saw!
.
Just came across this video on my camera roll showing how I used the @festool_usa Kapex miter saw to make quick work of tenons for a drawbore joinery technique!. My friend @dustylumberco finished it up with some fancy chisel work to complete this build off we did for charity! So much fun!

New building home tip! Take plenty of pictures and video before insulation and drywall goes up!
.
This has saved me so much time over the years to have this valuable reference of what is behind the walls.

Insect and sun protection in 3 outdoor living areas at this house.
.
The cable guided system is great for secondary screens for sun heat and when you don't need them for sealing the insects out.

My thoughts on the new Festool Exoactive! I was hesitant at first to identify that this would benefit me but after using on the job sites, it has already become something I reach for the same I do for my ear protection or gloves. I find that I am less tired at the end of the day and when I have to hold up objects for fastening it is like I have a helping hand! Much cheaper than an employee! The Festool Exoactive provides up to 22 pounds assistance with lifting materials and holding tools from waist, chest or over the shoulder height. Over the period of the work day you can really tell a difference, I am able to work longer and with less strain on my arms and shoulders! Available now! Go to www.festool.com for more info and let me know if you have any questions. .................. #festool #festoolusa #exoactive #cooltools #newtools #bionic #robotics #cordlesstools #festoolbuiltbetter #newtools #newtool #contractor #contractorsofinsta #contractorslife #drywallnation #drywallnation #paintersofinstagram #painterslife #installer #electricalcontractor #ergonomics #ergonomic #worksmarternotharder #worksmart #worksmarter #workhard #workworkwork
Shop made custom flashing
.
The metal brake comes in handy when standard flashing profiles are not an option! I use the Tapco metal brake from @westlakeroyalpros and I have loaded it down with accessories from @innovatools_inc

After nearly a year of building the boat on the form upside down, it was finally time to flip it over last week!

Cameron recruited a team of friends to help and with 8 people we made it look easy! Thanks for your help @that_white_chevy__ @brodybrew cruzlester40 @jakobi8989 @aidennorton24 @jeffreyg110
.
Stay tuned as we start on some electronics and finishing out the inside.

The side project of building a boat that started 10 months ago is reaching a milestone! Tomorrow is the official flip!
.
The goal from here is for it to never be upside down again! We will now be able to start finishing out the interior, bow, wiring, dash the list goes on and on but so glad to make it to this step! Thanks for following along!

Consistent handle placement can be a challenge for doors and drawers.
.
This jig greatly simplifies the process, set it one time to match the handle screw spacing and it references the holes and itself on the same location each time.
.
This is a huge time saver! DM with questions or for more info!
