I really enjoy the detail, there are so many little things that happen, the variance in tapping the chisel, the way you work the different angles. When there are multiple options for a job I like to consider:in order safety - how certain we can be of the result - the amount of effort - how much time it takes - and last but not least cost...bottom line opt for the safest method. At the same time - what's the point of having an extension collet for your router but to use it??
You couldn’t watch an accountant having the same level of satisfaction at work, you just couldn’t. This is how I know I’m in the right line of work. Thank you Robin, I really love this series
Hi Robin, what an absolute pleasure it is to watch you work. This is something I would love to have done in my younger days. Wood is a wonderful medium with which to work. It’s my first time watching your videos but already I’ve learnt some many things from the planning to its conception. Lots more of your videos to watch yet. Keep them coming
I too am a Carpenter and Joiner self employed ,watching your videos reminds me of the connectivity and sense of belonging among my fellow Chippies , Also I am forester and so I have that sense among the wood trades society from planting of whips and standards to felling and machining and final use ,it is a real pleasure to be among "my own" and to watch and listen to people like Robin selflessly imparting the methods tricks of the trade , something I have done decades with individuals ,as for appearing on "youtube" I would be afraid that my stunning good looks would detract from the subject matter , but maybe theres and idea ,a series of films on the subject of the Wood and its various journeys ,the cultivation of and final uses , but beware that journey truly is the story of the the Lords of the wood Rings., thanks again Robin , wood brings out the best in men.
Hi Robin. Watching this transported me back to my childhood and watching my late father create wonders from blocks of wood. I know, exactly, that zone you refer to and saw dad get into it time and time again when doing intricate work. While modern tools can carve humanly impossible shapes, the quirks left the craftsman show the human behind the work. Great build and a great video series, showing its not all humping 4x2s and square cutting frames.
Ah craftsmanship, something that can be watched for hours. I learn something new each time I watch this build. I am a weekend hack only made reasonable learning from these videos.
Knowing that people will be looking at that beam and thinking about the craftsmanship involved in maybe 100,200 or even 300 years must give you a fantastic sense of satisfaction, Robin. Nice job.
Great video. This is exactly the kind of detail needed in such videos. It is so refreshing. In addition to tradespeople, a lot of DIYers / people, looking for ideas to renovate, watch such videos What seems obvious to tradespeople is not so, for DIYers around the world Thank you 👍👍👏👏
It's worth saying to be very careful when sharpening steel tools on top of oak. If any of the lapping fluid with steel dust gets on to the oak it will react with the tannins in the oak and stain it black where it touches. For the same reason, wipe your tools carefully after sharpening before you touch the wood with them. Ask me how I know.....
Neat and precise as usual. Never had the big router or the table saw but always carried a couple of chainsaws. Freehand the design on a piece of scrap. Use that as my pattern. Cut out with chainsaw and clean up with belt sander. All our tenons cut the same.It was all we had. One of the guys I work with in Oz carves with a chainsaw. A big hardwood beam in one place we were working on he did all the cuts with a chainsaw and carved a large Platypus onto it as well. Looked great. I thought I was reasonable with a chainsaw until I moved to Rural Qld. The skill a lot have around where I live is phenomenal. There are a lot of houses where they cut the wood on the property and half built it with a chainsaw. And some of the carving is awesome. You are the more refined English gentleman style. Technically proficient and beautifully executed.
Great Job Robin, i learned a bit off carpentry in holland but here its all about the time, it all needs to be done fast. Just seeing you built this frame with such a passion and so relaxed, you are an inspiration and a true craftsman.
Ok robin all your shows they have been great. It is wonderful to watch a proper Carpenter with proper wood your skills are outstanding. Going to be gutted when this projects over
Really says something about how much i love my job, when i can come home from a hard days graft, and then watch someone craft something like this for 20 minutes. Lovely to watch with good music soundtrack too. Great stuff
One of my first foreigners as we call em up here I drive past every few months... The same antique light fitting still there 33 years later.. We do things that stand test of time and out live us.. We leave our mark. Lovely work mate
Have made the same detail myself when rebuilding Victorian era porch brackets (110 x 90 mm timber), though instead of a router I drew out the shape and then stitch-drilled from both sides, then cleaned up with a power sander. Worked a treat. Interesting to see this approach though.
Watching you chiselling away at that big piece of oak then picking up the piece and smelling it has put a big smile on my face That is exactly what I do 😁 Love doing work like that.
Had a stressful day hanging pre-finshed matt black doors in someone else's linings, and this video is the perfect way for me to de-stress🤗 Cheers Robin. (I literally don't think I've used a profile box since 1987😵).
Robin, i have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this video from start to finish! The craftsmanship displayed here is truly excellent. Definitely a project to be proud of. Thank you for sharing!!!
Hi Robin. Sean here from S.M.Carpentry. Another very well executed showcase of your skills! Any bespoke task will take time to complete and you explain the process perfectly. Another master class for any up and coming quality chippies. Keep up the good work your videos are a realistic insight into how to achieve the highest standards of a difficult trade to master. Very impressed!
i think i'm going to go and rewatch that chisel sharpening video you did a while back robin, doing that final clean up is just so relaxing to watch plus you've changed the intro
Lovely job. That nice sharp chisel polished that wood back nicely, and yes it smells great doesn't it, I love oak. I think learning to do the job with hand tools only first, is the way to go, then use power tools. Hand tools give you a feel and understanding for the material in a way power tools never can.
One thing to mention is how you conveyed the elapsed time. I think the illusion about how quickly things are completed (and how error-free they are) is one of the problems with UA-cam.
the team is coming up with great ideas for the lead intro ... and logo. The voice over is a great part of the vid and also you explaining on site is important. Like what you got going on Robin. Cheers!
Hello Robin, Brilliant work. I love your accuracy and precision. Keep it up. Very few handful people are out there who has ability to do perfect accurate job. The new generation are looking for easy and short cut here and there and everywhere. Old carpenters had a lot of experience and knowledge. Today's generation with all the tools available and still do rubbish job. Thank you Robin, to show us the perfect way to the job with best carpentery skills and experience. God bless you Robin. I want to meet you one day..... Best wishes, Ahmed Leicester ENGLAND
I have to disagree I've worked with many young people who have great passion for the job well trained well educated alot of the time people don't want to pay tradesmen rates but choose the cheapest option 🔨
Superb piece of art! I built a whole extension with steel beams by myself by watching your videos. I can't thank you enough Robin! Unfortunately there is a shortage of builders in North of Yorkshire which led me to quit my job to sort my wife's house. I'm planning to build an enclosed oak frame porch, but not sure how to do the wind braces without acquiring the big boys power tools, any tips?
Robin, I have a tape measure that has a flip out piece with a sharp point and hole near the end of the tape for your pencil. I don’t use it often but it’s very handy and quick for any random radius. I Appreciate your interesting videos. 👍
I really appreciate the craftsmanship. Can you tell me about the beam? It looks like it's made from several smaller pieces but the growth rings seem to span them seamlessly. Am I seeing things? Thanks for all your hard work!
Its a solid beam, when I was working through it its very wet inside and as the cut end is exposed then it dries the same giving the effect of lamination!! quite cool
Have you ever watched the documentary on rebuilding Notre Damme Cathedral , amazing the lengths they have gone to in restoring it, well worth a watch, brilliant craftsmanship in the original building, and put back together the same way .
My cheap old routers (Freud ) will plunge 3” that’s why I chose them ! With a long cutter I can get a fair old depth. Nicely done, I like the box rather than a sheet template.
At last a real carpenter who can sharpen his chisel properly yes you always use the figure 8 on your stone which keeps the stone in tip top condition. Well done Robin lovely job oak!! can be very unkind wood on your tools.
Great to see proper craftsmen at work,there's something so satisfying working with wood I think it's the smell of the cut wood that adds to it hugely,I love music on when I'm making or building something,lately I've been listening to Neil Young live at the Carnegie Hall 1970,what was the music in the background on this video Robin,?
Nice big flat Farriers Rasp would have cleaned that up quick...they are quick and leave a good smooth surface. Probably the handiest tools in my tool chest is my Heller Red Tang and Heller big Hoof Rasp. I have others but I like these best. My grandfather loved farrier rasps! Great for framing and timber work.

thats spot on robin. brilliant seeing this on youtube to help keep the craft alive
Pure craftsman, great to see someone who takes a real pride in their work and does things right.
Lots of lads do we just charge more than the average person is willing to pay 🔨
This has to be the most Calming video you have done, I shall play it back in my mind as I go to sleep. A true craftsman at work

Love doing work like that.
Put a smile on my face too. I just bought some cedar gates and they smell fantastic.
As they say, it’s all in the detail. Thanks for taking the time to both produce.
The proof is in the pudding
