very much so attention to detail , which i makes the job well done to you ....... your apprentice if i may say is such a fortunate guy to be blessed with the correct way of doing any job im jealous of him lol
At the age of 63, I don't have many regrets in my life, but if I had a tutor of your dexterity and ability to conferce with other's, then my path and maybe a lot of my age would of taken different paths. Thank you for sharing your skills.
been following you robin for quite sometime ...all i can say you are at the top of your trade ps i have been taking note of your little tips in which i incorporate as and when necessary wow well to you thanks such an insperation
Any reason for not putting flashing tape around the opening before fitting the window? Seems to be a big deal in the US but not so much over here. Top work as always Robin 👍
Hi Colin, did you miss the part where I explain why I had to rebate the template???? it is because to reach the full depth of the blade and get through all the material then the motor housing needed to be allowed for in the thickness of the board that I used as a template....... Check the video back and to where I explain
Great looking windows there robin. Who did final assembly of the windows? They looks good. I thought smart was the aluminium extrusion company but I wasn't sure they made the finished window I might be totally wrong. Thanks x
that's a serious vapour barrier. Please can I ask what it is, other than black plastic? I'll be building a couple of garden rooms in the new few months and want to get the VB right. Thanks Robin.
There are numerous vapour barriers available from liquid and paintable to sheet membranes such as plastic, I sometimes use a full on technical breather membrane like I used in my pool (there is a video about the pool ceiling) or we use the standard green plastic membrane, however as I was using this building as the workshop while we where building our house I put a thicker plastic vapour barrier in to avoid damage while we where swinging loads of timber around etc!! That's the only reason.. oh and its not much more to buy than the thin green stuff
Hi Stuart, I mentioned the reason why I did not do this at the time of design/construction in the video where I explained that we did not know exactly where we needed them, it's sometimes hard to predict exactly with a big building like this
When your viewing the video before pressing play the text would be better with a different coloured outline as you cant really read it. Keep up the good work
Nice work. Could you not of just made the windows to width from stud to stud to save all the extra work tho. Looks like it's only around 40mm or so difference. Love the windows BTW.
Hi Jony, the regulations for the minimum opening width of the window for fire escape purpose dictated the finished sizes, we need a clear opening of 450mm minimum to comply, and when you factor the frame into the setting out this means that you need to move over one stud
Nice little trick with the nail at 14:06 to stop the timber guide from moving from the vibrations.👍.
YEP! - They certainly DO look a Treat! - Nice job 👍🤠
Thanks 👍

Thanks Stevie!! Very nice of you to take the time to watch my content and your kind words!! Have a great week mate
Looking good and you know they’ve been fitted properly, what price piece of mind! 👏👍😀
Nice tidy job as always Cliff ... Looking forward to your Xmas single soon
Nice choice, colour wise, re the windows!
Cheers Oli!!

Flashing tape really only works if the windows have a nailing flange.
Nice job as always, but why rebate the template if u just had went up and down in the opposite direction with the saw?

He knows what he's doing
nice job Robin, can I ask why didn't you cut a hole for the window when you was building the cabin and just cover it over till you was ready ?

Tool safety?
Why no link for the window manufacturer.....?
I asked them if they wanted a link and they were not interested!!!! they said they don't do UA-cam what ever that means!!!
Why cut your template twice? Why not lop 306mm off in one go? 🤔
Exactly what I thought
Measure once cut twice…
Maybe table saw doesn’t stretch to 306mm…?
Watch the whole video....
Exactly what I was thinking
here's Johnny!!!!
Expertly done as always does that metabo saw fit festool rails ?
Hi Mark, from memory.... yes!! I will check though!!
@@ukconstruction hi robin, just wondering what you think of the Metabo track saw? Would love to hear your thoughts.
i think you should have put the hose on as that dust has gone absolutely everywhere 😳
really nice and simple idea though
I mentioned in the video why I was not planning on using the dust extraction because the hose would have hindered me and we where outside etc
@@ukconstruction think it's just the side of me that doesn't like making a mess because i've been told off about it so many times lol
Think I would of used a rail inside window area still but nice still
I'm nervous.
👍
