Been following you for years Robin, (at first with skillbuilder) I find your work and presentation content inspiring. Over the last 3 years I have built my own house and just finishing an oak framed garden room extension. You and the likes of Carl Rogers and Leo from Samson boat builder have given me the confidence and courage to fulfil my dream. Keep it up, we still have so much to learn.
Impressive productivity too! Taking the saw to the wood rather than the wood to the saw clearly makes a big difference to getting through the work. Thank you.
Like the way you work Robin,nice simple jigs that make your work very accurate! Been watching your videos for a few years now and I find myself using rods and jigs a lot more . Thanks for producing these informative videos and really looking forward to seeing this build coming to life👍👍👍
I always run, story sticks for this or simple jig for lots of cuts it saves hrs perhaps days. Worked with another carpenter recently, he said mate you have done anything yet it’s too slow…1hr later I’m finished and he is still measuring with crap everywhere! It also keeps things organised!
What a pleasure to see professionals at work, don't ever underestimate the skill set these guys have, making it look easy is the icing on the cake! Robin life would be so much easier if all builders worked to your standards, perhaps one day they will! Cheers. PS What a huge difference cordless tools make, so much safer too!
No matter what job I do, if there’s something I have to repeat, I will consider making a jig like you did to repeat those cuts. The simpler you make it, the less energy you spend on it and when you are less tired things go well and are safer.
Lovely job you are on! I took inspiration from your pack cutting years ago with a little metal angle at the end. Having the side pieces in will be an improvement we need to add.
Brilliant as ever really looking forward to watching the whole series and it will be great to see Ed back in action (has he grown any taller!!)! Thank you Robin as always for just simply brilliant content.
Great job, I like a quick jig for repetitive cuts, just wondering why you're not cutting the timbers from the left hand side, rather than reaching your left hand over to hold it and right cutting underneath your arm, looks a bit awkward?
Great method for templating/jigging your studs, Rob 👍 Do you find it's worth cutting the end off square to start with to reduce chance of inconsistencies or happy with how it's sawn generally for first fix construction?
Robin, do you square one the ends of the 6 X 2 before cutting to length? I ask because I found that the timber on delivery does not always have true square ends - it can vary by a couple of degrees, throwing off the studwork in bigger walls. Having been out of the trade for years and then returning, it was noticeable that the guys took it for granted that timber deliveries had square ends and they would just cut studs without checking the end they measured from. Well done on giving carpentry and joinery a good public persona.
Hi Robin. I love watching your videos... thanks for sharing you stuff, it's great. One thing came to mind when watching you cut the studs to length....my Makita cordless saw is the other way round, i.e. the blade is on the left side. So if you had my saw using this method you wouldn't have to stick your left hand over the saw to hold the template stud, it would be to your left. I know it's only a minor thing but if you're cutting loads this would make it slightly easier. And this has just made me think now why some saws are left blade and some right ? Do they make one of each side for all models ? i don't think so.. That's a video idea for you there !!!
Now I’m an electrician and as everyone knows , we ALWAYS leave sites SPOTLESS. Not once has anyone ever found even a trace that a sparky has been onsite.
Always a pleasure watching a true craftsman at work. Looking forward to the next one...

Thank you for your message I am happy to be considered alongside Carl and Leo!! thats cool!!

The bond is shocking on that brickwork 😳
Not all drivers are like Richard a good driver makes your job easier top man Richard 👍

Done a few timber framed buildings and I think as a joiner they are so satisfying to build.
im a diyer and have learnt so much from watching all your videos,thank you!!

Your videos are so well produced Robin.
You're an inspiration Robin. Looking forward to the next one
Hi Robin,superb job Always attention to detail,
Luv ur percision and techniques
Thanks 4 sharing its like watching an artist at work
Super work Robin, thanks for sharing
Great series so far robin!
Lovely job you are on! I took inspiration from your pack cutting years ago with a little metal angle at the end. Having the side pieces in will be an improvement we need to add.
Looking fantastic mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Another great video of a great craftsman at work
Brilliant as ever really looking forward to watching the whole series and it will be great to see Ed back in action (has he grown any taller!!)! Thank you Robin as always for just simply brilliant content.
Thanks Gary!!! yes Ed seems even taller now!! its been great having him back!!
Love your videos. You obviously only work for well off clients, the sort I dream of.
Neat and accurate, looks good
Hi Robin, good tip with the block you screwed on, i though you use your milwalkee rear handled saw for first fix?
Impressive mech handling!
so good Robin, you're a lovely fella too. positivity mate all the way

What do you call that type of wall? If you were asking someone to quote for building it. A wall that you timber frame on top of.
I wouldn’t normally say anything negative but my god that brickwork is shocking
Why?
How? 😂
There’s only one face side to a nine inch wall, you must be commenting on the inside.
Internal. Never going to be seen , bricks aren’t perfect, uniformed size.
No single-skin wall would ever be perfect on both sides.
A quick going over with a brush head wouldn’t of gone a miss on the inner skin, top brickwork thou looks mint, nice to see a bit of Flemish bond👌
Great method for templating/jigging your studs, Rob 👍 Do you find it's worth cutting the end off square to start with to reduce chance of inconsistencies or happy with how it's sawn generally for first fix construction?
These ends are almost perfect and by using the stop on the template across the full timber end width it will never be too long or short

They should've got your brickies in

Hi Robin. Are you available for private self build projects other than what you do on UA-cam etc?
Is there a preference for doing it on the left end overhand instead of the right side?
I think that’s just because the saw has the clearance on the right,
Now, if he used his Milwaukee rear handle saw he could do it on the right 😄
👍
Now I’m an electrician and as everyone knows , we ALWAYS leave sites SPOTLESS. Not once has anyone ever found even a trace that a sparky has been onsite.
Good set up but why don’t you cut from the other side so you don’t have to cross you’re hands
And be more
Comfortable
It is hard to tell from the video but to get the depth of cut with that saw the motor might foul the guide board 2x6 in that orientation.
Hi robin where have your apprentices gone
I thought that just looking at the highlighted clip
