knackers and welcome to the world premiere the very first ever DIY for Knuckleheads Q&A video so let's get cracking with that first question now this is a good question from James Blandon and has also been asked by a number of people and that is how did you get the name uncle knackers and when did you get it great question every small town in Australia has at least one kid growing up who they call knackers and that was me and it's actually a term of endearment believe it or not and the word Uncle neckers how that came about was back in 2004 when my nephew Tom who was six at the time did a portrait of myself and named It uncle knackers and ever since 2004 this laminated copy has been up on our fridge it's a pretty good resemblance mate well done now Neil lenford wants to know that since

finished this pretty cool block retaining wall I think it came up pretty well thumbs up now David lets and a number of other guys out there have all asked the same question can they get their hands on any of these DIY for Knuckleheads shirts well at this point in time no you can't but if people show enough interest and express that in the description box down below I might think about making some shirts caps cups and other sorts of merchandise so express your interest down below and we'll see how we go now this is one from DJ Groove and DJ asks do I only do rustic or recycled projects or have

I've only ever used one brand and that is hang on my trusty old Makita that's not to say that any of the other brands aren't any good all of the top quality range of product like your DeWalt Milwaukee Bosch etc etc they are all fantastic and you can't really go wrong I like my Makita and that's not a paid ad by the way now Barry Roberts clay Wilson and a lot of other people have asked what type of tea do I drink in my videos because you all know how much I love my tea I use a brand called lanu which is L A N C H O and once again this is not a paid ad it's not too strong and it's not too weak

name right mate wants to make a radiator for his house out of palletwood and some copper piping and call it a pator good name but mate could be a bit problematic I'll just probably go and get a regular radiator and then cover it with some pallet wood like in these photos looks pretty good good luck with it mate Craig Miller asks uny knacks what is the meaning of life bit of a toughy mate but
