June Heat wave ☀️ love or hate working in it?

What Job are you doing in it?

For a new Campsite in North Devon.

Do you prefer cut roofs or Truss Roofs?

Coming later this year 👌

The new and improved DEWALT Plunge Saw is packed with upgrades:

✅ Runs on both 18V batteries and 54V FlexVolt

✅ New 3mm scribe button

✅ Splinter guard added to the saw

✅ Simplified blade changes

✅ Easier-to-adjust depth stop

✅ Back to the pivot plunge design

✅ Improved splinter guard on the rails

✅ New joiner bars that tighten from the top of the rail

DEWALT have made a lot of great improvements with this one, and I can’t wait to upgrade.

Who else will be adding one to the collection? 👀👇

Simple Gate Build 👍

A simple gate to match the Clients picket fence they already have in the garden

3x2 treated timber for the rails, brace and posts then 3x1 pales screwed on.

A simple spring was added to make sure the gate stays closed at all times.

The spring is adjusted to suite the weight of the gate, to make sure it latches correctly

Timber Frame Build Day 💪

Love seeing a building suddenly appear

Once all the wall Panels were made on site
We had a day to install walls, cut out openings and felt and batten walls

Having all the Dewalt Battery tools was essential since we have no power on site

Truss roof will be next to go on

40mm Oak Floating shelves 💪 is there a better Way?

We had 40mm Oak worktop off cuts to make into shelves

So decide to use 12mm stainless Steel threaded bar to fix

A 10mm hole was drilled into the stud wall 100mm deep
Then the 12mm bar screwed straight in.

I also cut a groove in the ends of shelves so they slide onto ply bearers for extra strength.

First time using this method,

Do you Prefer pre made floating shelf Brackets?

Making the Most of the ☀️

Timber Frame Wall panels made up on site.

Stacked in order ready to Install

Working Off Grid, made easy all the battery powered tools with plenty of run time.

Just need to make sure we charge them at night 😂

What’s your Favourite Dewalt Tool in the Video?

DeWalt keeping the garden tidy 👌🌿

Had my eye on one of these for a while and finally bought one, wish I got it sooner.

This topiary was long overdue for a trim, and the new DeWalt 20cm Compact Hedge Trimmer made the job so much easier and quicker. Perfect for those detailed cuts and finishing touches. ✂️💪
