Robin is so calm and chilled. 😎
Absolutely love the attention to detail. 👏
For anyone interested in the reason why we use 6inch from top and 9inch from bottom for hinge location (150 & 225mm) ...This is because traditionally doors were jointed using mortice and tenon (real wood, panel doors). Locating the hinges at these heights meant we avoided chopping into end grain of the mortise and tenon joints at the top and bottom rails of the doors.
The sign of a true expert is the ability to explain things in an understandable manner. Robin is top class at his work and his teaching. Thank you
A true Artisan and eloquent teacher of his trade. I'm looking forward to the next instalment even though I have already fitted all my second fix items in my extension. Handy to know how it should be done for maybe the next build! Cheers guys!
Great video, replaced 4 door linings so far in my diy house renovation, each one better than the last. Picked up more tips watching this, thanks for the time and work that goes in to the making of these videos they are fantastic.
It’s a complete pleasure to watch you work Robin. Cheers.
Robin . You are always a good teacher .
I've learnt a lot from your vids .
Thanks
Robin your videos are like gold dust. You follow through in a methodical manner explaining in simple terms, why certain tasks are carried out in a particular order, with short cut tips for both the professional tradesperson and diy enthusiast. Can’t wait for the next one in the series.
Thanks Paul, it's comments like yours that make it all worth the effort, many thanks!
Absolutely true!! I’ve just been let down by our builder who is running off with about £4k of our money. Time to roll up my sleeves, let it go and crack on with it myself.
Robin, can you do a video explaining different types of door linings and how you match them to the timber used on a partition wall? Just about to corner off a downstairs toilet 😅
Good
Brilliant vid. Looking forward to more of these. Still picked up tips even after doing linings for years.
Also loving the belt set up
Roger and Robin. Always great, as usual
A really good teacher. I am fitting a door liner tomorrow so thought that it would be handy to see a professional does it. This is ideal. Thank you Robin!
What a skilled carpenter and a natural presenter. A pleasure to watch.
I wish I'd have met robin 20 years ago, he has a passion like no other and being on the wrong side of 40 I think I've left it a little late to become some sort of chippy, a fantastic bloke
I started boat building when I was 48, and now have a cedar strip 11ft boat I built, then trained as a therapist aged 55, if you want it enough, you can...they do apprenticeships for all ages now (uk)
Thanks for this everyday is a school day always pick up tips especially from a master craftsman like robin
Brilliant video Robin, learnt a lot from that. It’s those little bits of detail in plugging up the screw holes and taking the edges off 👌 lovely job.
What an excellent and highly informative video!
Genius, your advise is second to none! Thanks Robin.
Literally 1 week after I “diy-ed” my door liners. Lovely job!!
What a carpenter. Brilliant. Old school.
A really professional video and well presented. I’m just about to start on a renovation project for the first time and this is really going to help.
Thanks for passing on your skills.
It's really cool to see how different you guys do finish c in the UK. A lot of fun to watch. Great work!
Thanks for the great video. This week before the vid went live I had to rebuild a non-standard width lining - dating back to the 80s. Wish I’d waited another week....
This was an excellent instructional video. Robin is very meticulous and thorough.
What a legend you are Rob! Gutted we lost the reverse challenge though!
We tried! Hope your well mate good to hear from you
Hello everyone .. this is all good to see again and makes me think of a little story that I regret still to this day .. my Father In Law and I were a fitting team back in the early 90's, I was a young know it all 22 yr old and took very little notice of him as he patiently showed me exactly what Robin has been showing us recently through his video's including this one. I struggled in the years following working for myself with 1st & 2nd fix works, because I didn't respect what my FIL was trying to teach me when I had the chance too ... so young 'uns .. take note of these age old methods, yes they can be tweaked to how you work, old school cool is ALWAYS best =) .. love your work Rob, keep it going.

Don't beat yourself up, one thing you understand when you get older is that kids lack perspective and they also think youth is a permanent condition. Your Father-In-Law knew that because he was once young. If we lived our lives backwards we would know which bits of our education and experience would serve us best.
Thanks for the reply, yes as very often mentioned hindsight is a great thing. I do try and make an effort with any apprentices that come our way, but can’t help but notice I little bit of me in them 😩.. keep the vids coming, anything on the renovation side of the trade would be great to watch I’m sure. Cheers
Good job. Thanks for the insight. Very useful series.
Great video, thanks Roger and Robin
Great video! Makes those tricky jobs look so easy........ Thanks for all the tips! Enjoyed it thoroughly. Cheers.
Great stuff robin, good that you’re passing on the traditional way thanks
Once again thank you, could not of come at.a better time. I have 5 doors and frames to fit next week 👍
Great video, very informative and a true craftsman! Thank you.
Quality video, no waffle, all the useful detail/info. Subbed 👍
Ah, the joys of new build. Look forward to seeing a video of replacing a door and casing in an old terrace house with the walls and floors all over the place.
Lol 💯 🤣 had one the other day FFS it took me most of the day sizing the door in with the angles of the frame including an inverted banana bend on hinge side and the floor running up when it opened lol 🙈 the joy's 👍🏻🔨📐👷🤝
Great seeing some old school skills mate! Well done!
Top work and first class tradesman robin great to watch
Beautiful work as always Robin. Love the little insights into the mind of the master. Keep em coming.
Expert craftsman. Need more of you here in Australia!
Love your work!
Great video can’t wait for the follow up ones on fitting the door and skirting
That cross brace to keep the door square is genius.
A painters dream carpenter...cheers!!
Thanks mates, really interesting, honour of the job hé Robin! Thats the vibe! 🇧🇪🍺 Belgium 10 points!😅
Great video. I will be using this when I redo the bathroom, and having to raise the floor a little, so will need to fit a new lining.
Love the videos. The music is also beautiful to listen to
Great video, good exact work as always 👍
YASS "It's just the way we roll" Oh how I wish my dad was here to see this vid. And some of your others, Your a true Craftsman Robin Please keep sharing your knowledge ( French polisher or painter winging about pencil lines and marks from the fitting process hehehe memories. LOVE IT.
Awesome work, cheers mate.
Excellent work Roger
One of the better videos on this kind of work…
I’m Australian and really struggle with American and pommy builders and their work on these videos they always seem to make it non applicable but you have done a good job
Cheers
Great video good tips keep up the good work 👍
Nice job with the plugs! Totally PRO!
Such a pleasure to see a master carpenter at work. Could watch SkillBuilder for hours. More please!
Watch his shower tray installation video... Who used sand and cement these days lol
@@guysmith1192 The instructions said use lean mix sand and cement. Do it your way mate but the warranty is out the window if you use tile adhesive or some other grab adhesive. A lot of trays are far from flat on the back and need bedding.
I use sand and cement always and never had a problem. Gives you lovely amount of adjustment to level up.
@@justicecase19 Thank you for that I was thinking I was the last man on the planet to follow the instructions.
Master carpenter? LOL
Brilliant vid everything's coming back to me from college!
Great video cheers Robin, love it
Top quality stuff as usual.
Love your videos. Great attention to detail and well explained without being boring 👍🏽
Brilliant work
Great Videos, easy on the eye and the brain. Thanks ;-)
Excellent stuff , really interesting
Brilliant, a craftsman at work 👍
Very good job mate!
Im a groundworker but see chippys miss most of this stuff on site
Nice to see a job done right
My old man is a carpenter - joiner and know he would do it like this if he was still on the tools
Chippies on site don't have the time mate well in Belfast anyway
Beautiful to watch
Spot on workmanship
The best vid on this out there! Thanks for th e upload
Thanks guys.
6 and 9 always!!! When I was a trainee years ago, I was told I was "wrong" and that it's actually 7 and 11 or some codswallop... I didn't stay with that carpenter for very long. ;-)
This is very good first class job👍
Love your work Rob. I’m renovating a 1960s house. Door frames are all hardwood but out of square. About to replace the hinges because some clown has painted over them, then repaint the doors. But want to try and square up the frames first.
quality video, thanks for the upload
Nice video Robin keep it up
more videos like this please!
Story pole big time saver another great video
excellent advice and video fanx
great video guys,.
Hi Robin,I'm a retired Bricklayer,I think you and I would have built some perfect houses.That little bit of extra thought you put into your work certainly makes a difference.The joiners I have worked with loved my chamber floor levels.
Being on pricework is great when the last tradesman has considered the next guy.
I had a 3ft Stabila level blow off a block of flats in Germany, went down 6 floors and picked it up,it was still spot on.
Your vids are great.
What a top skilled man
best channel on youtube
Great video
Fix the hinge jamb first,hang the door and then adjust the top and other side of lining to suit the door,saves planing the door!
yip thats way i do it
That's how do you always get a better margin around the door
You still put a backing angle on the door?
I tried it on one house with pre finished doors I wouldn't do it again
That's all well and good if your fitting the lining after it's been skimmed. you generally wouldn't swing the door before, unless your aiming for banana shaped doors.
Make up the frame level head and plump both sides then router out hinges leading edge the latch side then router out hinges on the door then fit if you are good then you won’t have to adjust the lining like my self but some times I take off 1.5mm just to make sure the door shuts as the linings are to small for the doors but that leading edge is key
@@benmakepeace5759 That is sound advice
Great video..
Building a stud wall with a doorway.
Never done it before but I'm 33 years in as floor layer.
Sure I can knock a wall up.
But what I do have to say..
Is I've got 5 drills in the van..
😂
6 including my whisk for screed..😁👍🏻
Thanks for the tips mate.
Awesome video 👍
Great video thanks 😊
master of his craft
Quality.... you make it look so easy ..
reallyl helpful. You have great skills
Top job
That is how I was taught at college Robin, 6", 9" and then half way between the top and bottom hinges on centre for the middle hinge on an exterior door 👍
Bang on, how's Sydney!
Robin Clevett I don't hang any doors now as I'm not a fan of doing it so I haven't checked. Never liked it unless I put the lining in because they usually weren't plumb, straight, and were twisted. I always enjoyed framing, roofs and floors, first fix mainly. I was thinking about hanging doors after this video and wondered about making the lining up and fitting the door and possibly architraves to one side. Use the door to square up the lining before fitting the architraves with a brace on the opposing side cut flush . Fit the hinge side first of the lining using the architrave as a stop so it sits flush to the wall. If you get the hinge side plumb and the door squares the frame it would automatically plumb the lock side for you. Just a case of packing and screwing it in place and checking for bows etc. It would also ensure the jambs were't twisted. The only thing you forgot mate was to sight in the jambs to each other across the opening. Cheers 👍👌
Top job You should do a video on which saw under a tenner is the best would love to no I swap and change all the time 👍
Thanks for video.
Great video, again. What ballet school did you go to? Love the moves at 59 secs onwards 😂😂😂😂
Good plie form!
1:12 robin’s practicing his ballet positions
Oh my I noticed those skills.
Benjamin's jealous cause he's now realised he should have listened to mothers advise, fundaments of success stem from a solid grounding of ballet.
First Billy Elliot now Robin. 😁
And his Mick Jagger dance
Love these videos, but do I always think of a young Mick Jagger when I watch your work!!😁
Love watching your videos, I’m a chippy of 15 years and always pick up something new. Would love to know what countersink drill bits you use
over professional presentation - Easy to follow..
Brilliant, I've never done one but I can have a stab at most things, this really helped me understand what I need to do.
Glad it helped!
Very simple if you follow the basics.....over complicate it and or rush the job and that's when it goes wrong and the finish looks under par and trades are dealing with snagging and the decorator is left to sort it.....It's actually quicker to do it right because your speed increases the more you do it. Cutting corners means you try and cut more corners....Both of you do the basics very well. No different to how it should be done....👍
nice to see old school carpentry! i have to do it new school to make it pay unfortunately the results the same but you gotta do it in half the time!
Very good teacher
Brilliant video, however when working on price I always fit frames slightly wider than the door by around 3 to4mm, then a few wedges while swinging the door saves planing and give a perfect fit,
