(machinery humming) - [Rory] This is the proper process for building a rance brace,
and that's spelled how, R? - R-A-N-C-E. - [Rory] R-A-N-C-E? - [Luke] Ah-huh. - [Rory] Not, R-W-A-N-C-E ? - R-H-A-N-C-E, it's R-A-N-C-E is how I've always seen it spelled,
and it's a Scottish word for. - R-A-N-C-E. For really nice fence brace. - Yeah, something along them lines. - Scottish for this freakin' works? - Scottish for this is
how we're gonna do it. I dunno Rory, what's it mean? (machinery humming) Or Alistair? - [Rory] So, what Luke's
doing here is he's gonna flip this post, this
is what they call this, it's kind of a New Zealand tactic, so he's drilling down to the, I dunno, probably a 30
degree angle or something to that king post that we just drove. (drill whirring) Now I believe he's gonna
drive a block in there, but we'll see here, in a minute. So, this is your foot. - [Luke] A foot? - [Rory] It's a foot. Looks a little bit like a
piece of wood, but it's a foot. - [Luke] It's a lot like a piece of wood. (hammer banging the metal) - [Rory] This is like, 3.5mm? - Probably four.
- Four? - [Luke] Nine gauge. - [Rory] Is it still high
tense, or is it just? - No, it's low carbon. - [Rory] Low carbon. - Stainless is really the
tool for the job here, but. - Good luck finding that, huh? - Yeah. (machinery humming) (wire jangling) (wire cutters snipping) (machine whirring) (hammer clunking on metal fixings) (wire clattering) (machinery whirring) (wire clattering) - Our yard is now fully wired. - So, that's got an angle, cut in on it this way. - [Rory] The angle goes up. - [Luke] Yeah, so you drop that in. - [Rory] They work on
(indistinct) holes, yeah. (machinery whirring) - Take your rammer. (rammer pounding the post) Now you could probably take
that pounder and put it on an angle and use
your rammer and kind of jam that thing down in there, huh? - Yeah, we've got. - [Rory] If you get too warm. - Wing anchors, we just slip all the rocks back. - [Rory] Yeah. Take all this work out. (rammer whacking the wood) (chain rattling) - [Rory] Now you can't
just throw it in there and just call it good, because then it won't be pre-strained. So now you've gotta pre-strain it. This is key. - And that gets to that
point, to dig into the ground. (machinery humming) - [Rory] If it comes out, you
done messed up; hey, hey, Ron. - Yeah, if it comes out you did it wrong. You can feel it when it turns. - [Rory] It kind of gives a little bit? - Yeah, that's about all
you're gonna get, actually. - [Rory] There sure is a
lot of tension on that. - I got my hole drilled a little bit off, or up too far back. But we can salvage it. (chain jangling) - [Rory] So ideally. - This is the right angle. - [Rory] Do you want to have that wire about the center of the hole? - [Luke] Yeah, it needs to be there. - [Rory] That's where you'd want it to. So you want the bottom of
the center of your hole where that duck bill
has to be about lined up at the center of the post here? - [Luke] Ah-huh.
- [Rory] Yeah. (machinery whirring) You did not foot the one that
you did yesterday, did you? - No. (hammer whacking) (chain jangling) (tool clanging on the posts) (wire cutters snipping) (hammer whacking on the fixings) (wire cutters snipping) - [Alistair] Wait! - [Rory] Clearly that's the
lowercase P we've discussed, we had a phone call in the
middle of the video here, from the foreman, that an
upper case P will not work, must be a lowercase P or a lowercase B. - Upside down, lowercase D would also be. - [Rory] Yeah, yeah.
- Suitable, if you're left handed. - [Rory] Oh, upside down, yeah. An upside down lowercase D. (planer whirring) That's a real nice vice,
you have there, Luke. - What's that? - [Rory] I was saying,
that's a super nice vice. - I love that vice. - [Rory] It's one of the most
expensive vices you can get. - Factory equipment with a
purchase of a brand new Evo. - [Rory] Yeah. - They throw it in for nothing. (planer whirring) (machinery humming) - [Rory] So you can
see, started off the cut with just a chainsaw
and then smooths it up and squares it up and then. (wood clattering) This is kind of rough now,
but he'll smooth it up with the planer here, getting
it all nice and pretty. (planer whirring) Might just kinda help to start with because of that angle as well. (planer whirring) (machine humming) (planer whirring) (wood clattering) (planer whirring) Love it.
- Yep, that'll be all right. - [Luke] What about this weather? - [Rory] Yeah, just like home. So do you have kind of an
angle you're going for, on your cut here, Luke? - [Alistair] He's not listening,
he's doing something else. - [Luke] What's that? - [Rory] Do you use like a what, a 10 or 15 degree angle there
on your first grain cut? - [Luke] It's going to
be like, close to 17. - [Alistair] Okay. - [Rory] You can he's down there past the slop, and he's got some. - It's hard now, we're on the hard thing. - [Rory] Pretty decent solid ground, yeah. (spade whacking) Is this considered a clay or? - Er, yeah.
- Kind of a clayie ground? It doesn't drain out, I can tell you that. - We call this good bottom ground. - [Rory] Yeah. - [Luke] All the top soil's gone. - [Alistair] Did you get it? - [Rory] Yeah. Where we come from, this is all top soil. - [Ron] Yeah, we don't have
any zero top soil here. - [Rory] Ron, what you talking about, are you talking about
the good black stuff? - [Luke] Stuff that'll grow something. - [Rory] Yeah, well this is, this would be better than
what we've got in Wyoming. (shovel clattering) This is the only part about this brace, I gotta be honest with
you, Luke, I don't like. - You don't have to do it this way. - [Rory] The digging part. - Yeah, you don't have to do it this way. - [Rory] You can do it above grade. - Here's the thing, with an Evo3, with the skidsteer quick attach and auxiliary hydraulics on the front, it wouldn't take much of a trencher, like a 24 inch trencher. You could whip that trench right in there. - [Rory] Evo3. - Evo3. - [Rory] Heard it here first. - [Luke] Oh wait, is
there gonna be an Evo3? - [Alistair] Huh? - [Rory] What? - [Alistair] Don't tell
him about the Evo3. - [Luke] Well, we shall see. Which we got. - [Rory] And then the Evo Mini Me. - Yeah I can't wait to see that one. - [Alistair] Call him,
show him the king's bluff. - [Rory] The Evo one half. - The Evo 0.25 (shovel clattering) Little machine for big thinkers. The F59000. - [Rory] It's not the size of the. - [Rory] It's not the size
of the machine that matters. It's how you use it. - That's right. It's not the size of the
machine in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the machine. - [Rory] Do your best here. - [Alistair] Would that
go on airplane mode, huh? Yeah, I'm going to have to just keep whittling away at
it until it's just right. - [Alistair] It's gotta be tight. (planer whizzing) - Poor little Bob, wanting to go babble. (planer whizzing) - Yeah, that's gonna fit. (planer whizzing) (hand tapping on the post) - [Alistair] (indistinct)
gonna be in on that toe flute. - [Luke] You can go up to an inch, but. - [Alistair] Yeah I
just, I would've figured going in there farther. - [Rory] And what kind of
magic potion must this be? - Copper Nepazine. What'd you say over there, mush mouth? - [Alistair] Couch says he
puts it in his Cap'n Crunch. - [Rory] Puts it in his Cap'n Crunch? - [Alistair] Yeah. - [Rory] Who'd put rum in their cereal? - Seems odd for a non-drinker doesn't it. - [Rory] It does. - [Luke] So that's what
he used, he used the, I would call that to find
something or a vibratory cutter to cut the motrice in. - [Rory] That's how you
get that tidy, tidy cut. (machine humming) (metal clinking) So these posts are going in there, about that same angle,
about 15, 17 degrees. (machinery humming) (machine clattering) (post-driver whacking) Well, that's shoving all that stuff right off the bat. (post-driver whacking) This is one of the huge
benefits of an Evo, is you can drive all the way to grade, maybe below grade a little bit. (post-driver whacking) (hammer thudding) (post-driver clattering) (machinery whirring)
