Parts 1&2 a master class in traditional carpentry It takes 30 years to make it look that easy From one carpenter to another Thanks for some great videos 👍
@27:15 - I'm forever ripping the wrong edge of T&G board also. As always a pure pleasure to see a skilled master, even when not only ensuring a top quality job, but also providing clear learning experience.
Another great watch and a pleasure to see you work Robin, so soothing. If I could have one of these a day then I wouldn't need a therapist anymore ! Thanks and keep them coming please.
Yay. Another brilliant video from clever mr. Clevett to round off the day. Packed with tricks and wisdom as usual. And Taylor Dayne.. not often we hear that song anymore : - )
@@rm9719 when using the plate to run along a guide, having two saws that are opposites allows you to always be on the correct side to run the saw along a guide. also for visibility of the cut line aswell.
Great video and well explained - it’s quite soothing watching you work. Shame your camera didn’t catch the valley boards and jacks going in. Looking forward to seeing your roofing square videos. 😀👍
I measure the length of the plumb cut then divide by three to get the depth of the birds mouth rather than perpendicular across the rafter as you did. Not a criticism, just an observation Sir. Top notch craftsmanship, 👍 😁 🔨 🇮🇪
Hey robin love your videos I’m a chippy been in the game coming up 20 years Iv never seen the stepping off method you use in a couple of your videos can you do a video showing that in more detail? Thanks in advance
It’s truly wonderful watching a master at his craft. I often think 45 years ago I picked the wrong trade. Just wondering how you keep your tools from “growing legs”? ie theft Keep healthy and making great teaching videos
Hi Robin - can you explain the additional length you added beyond the birds mouth - as when they were installed they look to be around 350mm but in the cutting way longer? thanks
Hi Darren, my client originally wanted the eves level, we had a higher wallplate to accommodate the water tanks so once I fitted them they decided to have them the same length as the original and we adjusted them in situ!! Well spotted, you are the first person!!
Shame about the roof, I was really looking forward to seeing how you married the two! Great video nonetheless, thanks for sharing your knowledge, Robin 👍
Another great video, and now I've watched it I'm going to bed late again! Random question, what microphone are you using? I need to get a clip on wireless and yours sounds really good. Thanks!
Hello mate!! Hope your well, I am using a Rode mic its really good tiny and easy to set up its a Rode Go with the optional collar mic, look after yourself and keep up the good work on your channel to bro!!
Would you not glue the t&g boards together first before pinning? Just helps with movement i think. Keeps the joints together better. Looks awesome though 👍
@Robin Clevett Have you done a review of that metabo track saw? How do you rate it? I'm mostly Hikoki cordless now, and whenever I want my festool TS55 for 2 minute cut it takes 10 minutes to find some power and a lead, but I proper don't want to shell out for the festool battery saw. Got the long festool tracks though...
Hi robin, great video's. Is there a reason you only nailed the t&g instead of glueing as well ? Or is glueing going to effect the expansion of the timber.thanks in advance. Wayne
Hi Wayne, you guessed correctly mate , tongue and grooved materials maee from natural timber is designed to expand and contract so gluing is not done in this application
Neat and sweet as usual. My only question is finish nails holding the boards on. Largest finish nail is 15 gauge which you can get galvy but exposed on a door front. Even T nails which are bigger are banned for this sort of fixing in Oz as they decay too quick. If I didn't want face fixing showing I would screw from the back. Just don't see the longevity.
Everybody is in a hurry to save money, no time to pilot and countersink 100 stainless screws that are 20c versus, half a minute each, vs. shooting nails that are 0,2c in 2 seconds.
I’m not a carpenter but all I would say is that whenever you see an old knackered shed / outbuilding it’s not the nails that are the problem - it’s the cladding that has rotted! I won’t be worrying about the nails…
@@micdev42I am a Carpenter for over 40 years. Your old knackered shed wouldn't have been mailed with finish nails. Hence it stayed together long enough to rot. Finish gun nails like this will rust out in months. Long before the timber has even aged. Big difference.
Awesome job! Been watching you on here like a hawk for weeks and I'm now brave enough to make a start, so....I'm going to build a 24X 12 shed/cabin/whatever (yes, permitted development) on 15 concrete block piers using 2x4s for the beams everywhere, doubled on the base edges, DPC etc. 18mm OSB, breather membrane, PIR, featheredge cladding and finally EPDM, presuming I can find a way to haul it on top! (I'm on it!). Have I gone wong anywhere please? Do I actually need 6x2s for the base edge? Fankee!
Hi, sounds like you have a plan, couple of points, make sure that your floor joists are strong enough to span the maximum distance so for example for the full 12ft span you would need an 2 x 8 minimum at 400 centres or maybe 2 x 9 at 600 centres if you split the span in the centre then you could go down to a 2 x 6, you can use a thinner sheathing on the outside of your stud walls so half inch OSB is good there, then a 1 inch counter batten to allow for ventilation behind your featheredge cladding, breather membrane is a good idea and on the inside a vapour barrier after you have insulated, hope that helps, have a good day!!
@@ukconstruction Ahh that's brilliant info, thanks! I did wonder why you didn't use noggins on a lot of your jobs...deeper timber, I see! Enjoy your day.
That happens a lot more when you have vast temperature/moisture differences on either side of the doors, I used a really good stiff CLS as my ledges and these will not bend over the length that they are, I have in the past made a steel frame for the back of cladded doors where I am worried about the bowing etc

Nothing better than watching Robin and a bit of Taylor Dayne throwback yes I'm old.
Well 46
Rio Bow.
yes to old... to be a school boy
but to young to be a Senior!
it seems you are still in puberty😁
Would have loved to have had the benefits of UA-cam when i was starting out 50 years ago...Always a pleasure watching a Masterclass..
We all love the way Robin says”plimf”.
Robins three stages of measuring
Nerly there
Perfect
Absolutely lovely ✨

You got the Squeke on the hinges just perfect. Thanks for shareing
Great video and so nice to see how much satisfaction your work gives you Robin fantastic 👍
Good one 👍🍀🇮🇪👋 good to hear from you 👋
Thanks 👍
It’s amazing watching you go about your work all the tricks of the trade thanks for all the tips
Is that absolute eighties you’ve got on the radio Robin ? The master as always !!
Yay. Another brilliant video from clever mr. Clevett to round off the day. Packed with tricks and wisdom as usual. And Taylor Dayne.. not often we hear that song anymore : - )
Great video.
Lovely job!
Great vid as always. Looking forward to your roofing square when it comes out too 😁
another great video robin also used your new door jig last week saved loads of time thank you
Thanks Neil, so glad you have seen the benefit of the simple hip jig, and thanks for supporting me too, top man!!
Ha, just noticed two circular saws with opposite orientation, clever Mr Clevett
I did wonder why 2 circular saws. As a relative nooby, can you please explain why? Thanks
@@rm9719 when using the plate to run along a guide, having two saws that are opposites allows you to always be on the correct side to run the saw along a guide. also for visibility of the cut line aswell.
@@TheSudsy thanks very much. Makes sense.
Forgefast have really upped their game. Some really good coatings to choose from. Them and spax for me.
They must be good as Robin likes his Spax, the forgefast do look good though
Great job. Learning a lot! My teacher at a distance ;-)
Love all the videos from robin..I been building for over 18 years and would love to work with this master of the trade
Lovely work Robin!
I have been using the forecast for quite a while now.great screw sizes & price
27:03 I thought that would happen ;). When I do it, I usualy do it twice LOL
great job as usual Robin, shame you lost the roof install was looking forward to watching that all the way through
I will do loads more for you!!
@@ukconstruction legend sir
Nice job Robin.
I use an IKEA bag me self for keeping the saw dry
That's a great idea!
Bet the owner is happy with your shed!
Have used forgefast elite screws for a couple years now. Great screws and even better value Robin! As always top notch work and content 👌
I love the confidence that them rafters are spot on?
Great video and well explained - it’s quite soothing watching you work. Shame your camera didn’t catch the valley boards and jacks going in. Looking forward to seeing your roofing square videos. 😀👍
Yes, very "nice and simple and pleasing." I agree.
Great video. Relaxing and instructive.
Well done!
The first thing i need to do is like this video
Top class robin watched you’re video on wide door linings it was perfect helped a lot thanks 👍🏻
Robin u gotta be the best carpenter I've watched but I often wonder the pencil ✏ u use is it from your apprentice days lol
Brilliant

As you mentioned about that bricklayer to be a mentor or labour provider, you should do the same in roofing structures
Hey robin love your videos I’m a chippy been in the game coming up 20 years Iv never seen the stepping off method you use in a couple of your videos can you do a video showing that in more detail? Thanks in advance
Legionella cold water should be stored below 20c so a bit of a struggle during the summer months
It’s truly wonderful watching a master at his craft.

top vlog
I love how you covered your mitre saw 🤣
Its a no brainer!! Glad you like that!!
@@ukconstruction it made me chuckle a little bit
Why do you use two circular saws? What is your preferred cordless framing gun?
Where did the second off cut come from Robin at 27.22? Was it too short?
Hi Robin - can you explain the additional length you added beyond the birds mouth - as when they were installed they look to be around 350mm but in the cutting way longer? thanks

How nice does that Milwaukee sound
Lost me when he got the pencil out but still find it fascinating. 👍

I've been a subscriber to both of your channels for ages. Thanks guys, I've learned lots. 👍
@@rm9719 thanks for the continued support. 👍
Any chance of a tool review video of your new metabo cordless range? Cheers.
What no Spax Robin! 🙂
Would you not glue the t&g boards together first before pinning? Just helps with movement i think. Keeps the joints together better. Looks awesome though 👍
T&G needs to to be allowed to move
Robin and his music, gona get you into trouble lol

Hi Wayne, you guessed correctly mate , tongue and grooved materials maee from natural timber is designed to expand and contract so gluing is not done in this application
Tell it to my heart #tune
Gave this a thumbs up before I watched it. Nuff said.
Ahhh gutted your battery ran out, I’m just extending my workshop at home and have to do the valley rafters, which I can’t remember how to do them lol
Its marked out on the speed square once you have the pitch set the square and off to the races you go 🔨
Does any one know why he uses x2 skill saws to cut at at either end of rafters?

What’s the metabo plunge saw like ?
do you not put a bolt through your tee hinges i was always told too
would you treat the cut ends ???
Why did you use the Milwakee circular saw for the plumb cut and the Hikoki for the others when cutting the rafters?
Just like having two saws going and pick up the closest one!! This really works well when I am cutting super long rafters!!
A blade right saw for the seat cut and a blade left saw for the plumb cut, 👍🔨🇮🇪
Fantastic work as always , how are you liking the new Metabo Track saw?
Rob did you cut the last one twice 27:40
I was just about to comment the same thing
As I was watching I was thinking 'I hope he's going to turn that plank around before he cuts it' . Apparently he didn't. We've all been there.
Hi Robin have you ever had any problems with softwood gates bowing with expansion.
Why are you using different saws for different cuts? Are those circular saws different in any way?
Whenever I've used T&G for cladding doors, the natural warp of the timber compounds and pulls the door out of true. How do you prevent that?
That happens a lot more when you have vast temperature/moisture differences on either side of the doors, I used a really good stiff CLS as my ledges and these will not bend over the length that they are, I have in the past made a steel frame for the back of cladded doors where I am worried about the bowing etc
