I'm glad to know I'm not the only person to mindlessly pull the trigger on the screwgun when looking for a something to solve a problem. Great video as usual. Cheers!
Satisfying to watch all the pieces of the puzzle fall together with ease. I also like the way you bevelled you lay board at the bottom. Respect from a 22 year old carpenter from surrey 👌
Oh man, 42 minutes of perfection! This is the best video I’ve seen in a long time, More of this style please Robin! And that piece of timber you had screwed to the top of the ridge at 14:30 to keep it flush with the rafters was genius and yet so simple. Keep up the good work lads 🔨🪚
I absolutely love the craftsmanship of Robin's work. That said, there was a mistake. The board he nailed down starting at the 31 minute mark had a group of nails veer off and you can clearly see one of them missing the board underneath. Robin is a master, but thankfully still human and thus a mistake can happen. Please don't hate me Robin. I wish I could find someone with your skill level near me to build my dream home.
Same here 50 years old this year and been a chippy since the day I left school and never thought to fix a cleat to the top of the ridge like that🤯 Genius🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
More of this format please Robin. No BS, not that you've ever given us any, just great practical skills from which we can all learn. Struck me how physically demanding your job is: no wonder it keeps you in good shape. But, once again, a wonderful exemplar of how attention to detail really pays dividends. Thanks!
Robin, please don’t apologise for it being unedited. It’s good to observe that the end result is not brought about by magic but a process of thought out, careful planning. I’d rather that than high speed footage with funky music. A teeny bit of commentary here and there wouldn’t have hurt though. I enjoyed watching all the same.
The lovely solitary (apart from camera operator) work, just the birds the distant hum of a town and working with your hands. just the perfect satisfying days work. I have days like this often and its pure joy. Watching you work Robin is ART. great job.
It is really amazing how much power tools have developed over the years, battery drivers, nail guns etc. I remember putting a zip tie quick fix on my Stanley Yankee to stop it rolling on scaffolds and cutting up a foundry worker leather bib to make a waist pouch for nails, screws and bending a welders rod to form a hook to hang my hammer and axe from. Now everything can be bought off the shelf and battery-powered. The modern-day joiner and carpenter is very spoilt with toys...
I remember as a DIY’er my Dad making cupboards at home with a Yankee. As a DIY’er myself driving screws etc is so much quicker now. As long as you can drive the tools things can be simple in comparison
This… is poetry, in motion. I’m so glad that I recently came across your videos!!! You are a true Craftsman sir. In these times, the art of conventional framing and the skills needed to do it, aren’t appreciated the way they should be. Like you, I’ve taken our craft seriously for roughly 30 years and I love the old school ways of doing things. I’ve had my hands on over 500 homes, from timber frames, log homes and conventionally framing houses. When I started in construction, there many more skilled craftsmen in the industry. Nowadays these younger guys don’t even want to listen and learn about their craft. Some have been framing for many years, and don’t even know where to start if they had to cut in a roof. We’re becoming dinosaurs and soon to be extinct. Watching this video as I have my coffee… just made my day this morning. Keep up the great works man!!! And thank you for sharing. You got a new subscriber and I look forward to watching more of your videos. I do have one question for you… The header that the main roof rafters butt into and carry the ridge for the dormer, is cut in square with the main rafters instead of the header being plumb. I’m not saying it’s wrong, I just want to know why you prefer to do it this way?
What i love the most about this video is the peace and quiet you are getting to do your work.no zombie labourers wandering around and lifting all your wood and throwing it away.and a nice safe scaffolding to work on and no rain aaah if carlsberg done dormers😂😂
This is (to me anyway) a form of pure artistry, perfection! Thanks also should go to Edward for all the camera work, and not interrupting with questions or observations Thank you both
Very Impressive Robin. Possibly one of the best ive seen for a roofing application. Lots tips and tricks used. Efficient planning and preparation. Where have all the good guys gone-competence is key . Thank you
Thank you very much Robin. Apprentice here in ireland 🇮🇪. Brilliant teacher, really appreciate a video like this. Not saying anything helps me think why is he doing that....oh yes that's why. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming please. Matthew
A study in efficiently and professionally doing a job. Highlight the precut pieces and how they fit without any fiddling. Safe transition of work positions. Attention to detail and care by holding onto the cutoffs instead of letting then fall, and splinter ends. Makes the whole job go well…great job 👍.
Excellent video... Enjoyed every minute of it. So satisfying to watch such high-class carpentry work. Please bring more videos out like this. Well done
Thanks for that. It was great seeing it in real time. Had a good laugh when you picked up the drill driver and the saw. Got to check it's still working every 30 seconds while you walk around with it. I catch myself doing it all the time🤣🤣
I love the fact you bother with real time videos Robin. These are invaluable for trainee and apprentice Carpenters. I just wish they were around when I was trying to become a chippy. Ended up just being a maintenance man instead.
Woodworking and carpentry. The most I'll ever do is making planters out of reclaimed 4x2 and cladding... yet I watch this Big Build! This video was relaxing to watch. Mindfulness, yoga and meditation all rolled into one (not that I do any of those but the end result is probably the same)!!!
What a satisfying video & seeing the geometry work flawlessly! 👏👏 👏Amazing to watch you work Robin Tip: More uncut videos, of every summarised version. 🙏 Best video ever!
Never mind about the carpentry. Some seriously competent climbing skills there - always 3 contacts, moving smoothly, weight perfectly balanced against grip points
Amazing efficiency and work flow. I think you’d have been equally proficient with a career in Arboriculture. You certainly know exactly where your feet and hands are at all times! Chapeau. 😊
This is the epic video I've been waiting for .... I want that RC vest tooo ... Love this soo much Robin! So much great video capture and it's like a cinematic movie set. I like the slow parts with out quick edits and watch all the way through. The silence without music and the quiet simple sounds of pencil on wood and thinking is a delight. You climbing around with your film crew is perfection. Outstanding video all of you! Truly a masterpiece in the making. It is a perfect video. edit: super great there was zero music playing over the rhythm of the building .. my fav vid here
@@ukconstruction I want that vest too ... not putting music over the building sounds is a strength and separates you from all the rest. It's the sound of thinking coming through and the exacting tool noise and the sound of the timber fitting into place.
I started out a bit skeptical about “uncut” - knowing what the end result would be. But it was. And a quick 40 minutes! What was most impressive? Agility, in my opinion (don’t try this at home!). And the economy of motion (perhaps only 1 extra trip down, to get the rafter alignment block for the end of the ridge beam). Equally impressive was the precision with which all the previous work had been done, which allowed you to plan and precut the timber for this job. And some credit has to go to the hose-free nail gun. Thanks for the video.
I can see the experience directly when you go up a ladder. Organized and prepared with the maximum efficiency. One trip is better than more. Prosthetic knee and four pins in my shoulder, you learn how to economize on movements.
Fair play Robin. I wouldn't have a clue how to precut the lay boards. Always just had to slide a straight edge along the rafters to mark the bottom point on the roof.
Lovely to see the smile when you laid that flat timber, it did fit just right….and I normally can lose 40 minutes in the toilet in the morning, that’s a hell of a work rate, your customer has to be chuffed…..
Thank u Robin even as a finish carpenter in the states I enjoy watching these ! My customer likes yours hv a lot of questions! Knowing how things work are put together gives me the ability to say I can help you or ? You need a roofing framer ect.,. Thk u again! Very helpful video and no it’s not for DIY’ers
When I watch this and know exactly what robin is looking for in his tool pouch or your going to cut a block to make installing the ridge beam easier it makes me realise my roofing joinery ain't too shabby either. Not up to your level yet though. Excellent video! 👍🙏🙂
Cool vid mate👏🏻 I’m a roof chippy for 20 years in Perth Australia. We also do stick roof it’s not for the Faint hearted and people think you standing up there is easy until they try it 😂 funny to watch though
Amazing to see pre cut go in so well. When you take care building the surrounding structure it makes job like this is much quicker and easier As a DIY’er I was wondering how you were going to hold the ridge and fix it and secondly how did you not swear on an open mic when you dropped your pencil about 2/3’rds the way through the video 😁
I have watched this series from the beginning and although I will never tackle such a project I have found it extremely interesting to see how you plan and set out right from the very off. It is always very satisfying to watch a craftsman at work. Tell me Robin is it true you do the stunts for the Spider-Man films?😁😁
Brilliant work, as ever, Robin. I’ve always wondered how you work out the bird’s mouth on a layboard given the complex angle (also the cut on the jack rafters where they meet the board). Have you done a video on this per chance?
Won't fall down but it might rust. Good advert for Milwaukee framer. I am old now and probably half as strong as I was those nailers could double as an anchor for a cruise liner. Milwaukee made the new Gen 2 just as heavy. The old air framers used to be as heavy but now weigh nothing. One day they may get the battery ones on a diet. No doubt by the time I retire. Has to beat a bag full of 3's and 4's and a hammer though.

Great session. Apart from dropping the pencil, what can you say. For the safety, could you use ropes or nets or inflatables? Yes you would lose time moving them.
One thing for certain is that there are loads of Chippies getting their advanced Diplomas in Carpentry from The Robin Clevett Advanced Academy of Building
Hi Robin great video. I don't suppose you have a video of on a dormer with vaulted ceiling meeting an existing vaulted ceiling where you would need to use valley rafters instead of layboards. I'm currently struggling with the intersecting points on the valley rafter
Uneded version is the best, just you and your tunes playing in your headset. Do you always install the floor/ceiling joists before the roof rafters, in the main roof as well as the dormer
Overall I enjoyed and understood what you were doing there, and I fully agree it's better than a video full of time lapse, but a bit of speech around things like the lay boards would have been better.
Is there a reason you didn't double the top plate on the dormer walls? I'd guess because the roof is so small it isn't as important. Still you could have had more studs so the rafters rested directly above them. You do great work and I found myself guessing what your next step would be because you're so systematic. 👍
Robin, whilst I realise it is more economical in material to OSB the front face in 2 sections, do you back block the vertical seam to keep stable and in alignment afterwards? Lovely job and learnt heaps.
Great video as always Robin. That’s one job I’ve never done is build a dormer. 👍🏻 What impact driver were you using? I have to say I really don’t like the sound of the gasless nail guns. You can’t beat the sound of a Paslode 1st fix firing nails in.
I like your Dormer but why didn't you build a over hang in the front or the side's so you could have put soffit and facia for air flow? I build Dormer's every day and I'm just wondering why you did it like that
Very impressive. Not sure if it's been asked already as only read about 50 comments. But how much did the tin hat scaffold cost and is it worth it, if budget is tight? Thanks in. Advanced
@@ukconstruction Scrap my last comment. Found it. Brilliant video. I'll clip it here for anyone else interested. ua-cam.com/video/GIvprn_A2Xo/v-deo.html Thanks again

Balancing on those rafters!! 100% carpenter and 50% cat! Great video. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Got to say Robin they were very nice cuts on the bottom of lay boards. Not many people would go to that much trouble. 👌
Awesome! I can see where the experience truly shows. An absolute pleasure to watch.

Best bit - seeing the valley boards just slot in. Respect!
What a satisfying video & seeing the geometry work flawlessly! 👏👏 👏Amazing to watch you work Robin
Tip: More uncut videos, of every summarised version. 🙏 Best video ever!

Brilliant video Robin! You must have been a gymnast in a previous life, the way you clambered over that roof. Great to see a true expert at work.
Nice to See you Work unedited Robin, True Master.
Dude, you are an awesome professional, I like to watch your technique. That's it work smart, not hard☆Salute from Portugal 🇵🇹

Excellent, I wondered how it was done. I understand why the big boys prefab their roof sections and crane them on for speed of build.

Won't fall down but it might rust. Good advert for Milwaukee framer. I am old now and probably half as strong as I was those nailers could double as an anchor for a cruise liner. Milwaukee made the new Gen 2 just as heavy. The old air framers used to be as heavy but now weigh nothing. One day they may get the battery ones on a diet. No doubt by the time I retire. Has to beat a bag full of 3's and 4's and a hammer though.

Hi Robin great video. I don't suppose you have a video of on a dormer with vaulted ceiling meeting an existing vaulted ceiling where you would need to use valley rafters instead of layboards. I'm currently struggling with the intersecting points on the valley rafter
Uneded version is the best, just you and your tunes playing in your headset. Do you always install the floor/ceiling joists before the roof rafters, in the main roof as well as the dormer
Good job
Overall I enjoyed and understood what you were doing there, and I fully agree it's better than a video full of time lapse, but a bit of speech around things like the lay boards would have been better.
I agree as to time-lapse much better to see this roof tape shape and it's natural time
Not the idea of this video its just poetry in motion😂
Doing Good!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Is there a reason you didn't double the top plate on the dormer walls? I'd guess because the roof is so small it isn't as important. Still you could have had more studs so the rafters rested directly above them. You do great work and I found myself guessing what your next step would be because you're so systematic. 👍
Robin, whilst I realise it is more economical in material to OSB the front face in 2 sections, do you back block the vertical seam to keep stable and in alignment afterwards?
Lovely job and learnt heaps.
Certainly need to be nimble and fearless as well as daring as a climber
And that took around 40 minutes! So in between the end of lunch and afternoon tea break - he made two more 😊😊😊
How will the sheathing be nailed against the layboards? It looks like there is no nailing surface there.
Great video as always Robin. That’s one job I’ve never done is build a dormer. 👍🏻 What impact driver were you using?
I have to say I really don’t like the sound of the gasless nail guns. You can’t beat the sound of a Paslode 1st fix firing nails in.
Hi Jason, That impact driver is a metabo brushless 18v its a really nice machine, the gas nailers are a better sound!!!! thanks for watching mate
Great video !! thanks
I like your Dormer but why didn't you build a over hang in the front or the side's so you could have put soffit and facia for air flow? I build Dormer's every day and I'm just wondering why you did it like that
Robin, 👏👍very good job s, roofs 🏠👏👏👏👍same jobs me England, thanks you uu,👏👍
Why not lay a ladder on each side of the dormer for some footing? Love the "silent mode", it lets you really focus on what's happening.
Very impressive.
Not sure if it's been asked already as only read about 50 comments. But how much did the tin hat scaffold cost and is it worth it, if budget is tight?
Thanks in. Advanced

Hi robin great videos,quick question could the trimmer on main roof been located a bit lower down ?
Hi robin, can you explain how were working out the angles for the lay boards.? Cheers!

so much to learn from this guy .....apart from the way he uses the nail gun nailing against himself is not the safest
