Making Cedar Lattice for a Trellis

" -Alright, so we're building the frame for the trellis out of 1 x 6 cedar, which is rough on one and dressed on the other, planed smooth on the other. And what we're gonna do here is laminate these 2 pieces together, and Ryley, what kind of glue is that you're working on there?"
" -This is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. I didn't wanna lose my count. It's gonna be the exact duplicates."
" -Yeah."
" -So 10 parts----"
" -10 parts."
" -to 10 parts."
" -Yeah."
" -This is a green epoxy resin that is an exterior application adhesive. And we're just gonna"
" -So you just grip it right on?"
" -Grip it right on here."
" -Okay, is that good enough?"
" -Yeah, yeah. It's good."
" -Alright."
" -Now, we'll just place that."
" -And we're keeping it----"
" -Keeping it to 6 inches."
" -The width of the other board away from the top, so that eventually, we'll be having a lap joint occurring at these corners."
" -Yeah."
" -And after some plants?"
" -Well, we don't have enough [unk] to do this with."
" -Yes."
" -So what we'd come up with is we just kinda use a piece of prime."
" -And use the trusty drywall screw."
" -Alright. Some 3 inch drywall screw."
" -Now we have to put some every 12 inches or so, right?"
" -Right."
" -Good."
" -Good. It's good."
" -Okay. So now, this is sandwiched between the one byte and an old piece of plywood, and we'll set that aside, then the next step is to talk about the actual lattice, right?-That's it. Yeah."
" -Okay. We're working with cedar sill, and now, what we're doing is using 6 quarter stock, which is really an inch, so that we can get these 1 x 1 inch squares. And, Ryley's already got a half dozen of them or so, kind of temporarily nailed together here, so that we can take the next step, which is on the radial arm saw with a dado blade. And the dado blade essentially is a blade that has an eccentric sort of warp to it, if you will. And when it cuts, it's moving fast and kind of wobbling, and we'll show you how it plows out the wood. Now we'll join the frame sections in the lap joint, and rather than drive the screws through there, we'll just use some of that epoxy. Ready?"
" -Yup. Okay, we'll just put that together with a couple of plant here."
" -And hold it until it sets. And of course, we'll do this at all 4 corners."
" -Alright, now the epoxy needs a good 24 hours before you should be working with it, so this is a 2nd section that we've got right now. Alright Ryley, so I can start setting these up?-Yeah. [unk] in here."
" -And these are such a good tight fit that they don't need to be clamped, right?"
" -No, not at all."
" -We'll just test that with some."
" -The glue will do the job."
" -Yup. It will secure the trellis to the frame with some floor-painted galvanized finished nail."
" -It looks real good. All we've done here is to support the trellis section as if really put up 4 x 4 pressure treated posts, which go down 2 feet into the ground. There's no concrete, no more, nothing in there. They're just in the soil and we're tamping it down. Then we clubbed the posts with 1 x 6 red cedar, which will last a long, long time. And up at the top, Ryley is gonna attach a cap to give it a nice kind of classic look, and this is just the same boards. We've got one the same size and the other one overlaps by about 12 an inch all the way around. And that is the final touch up there. Then of course, we have to do something about putting a finish on the trough, and I think we'll probably put a white solid stain on it so it'll stand out against the house, and then the fun part, we'll be finding vines install here."
