      It's bad . I just slowly worked my way up from labourer . Watching practicing at home , winging it .
      I'm pretty good now but took me years and I know chunks of multiple trades . It was just nobody giving apprenticeships when I left school.
      Once you get older you can't live on one . I'm probably going to just pay for a fast track nvq . I get plenty of work without it but things will change . Won't be able to chip on a green card forever.

      @@avancalledrupert5130 agree. Apprenticeships are only good for youngsters living at home, it's all uni uni uni now. We need more options for school leavers... Not coffee shops full of over-educated graduates. I guess as you get older you have no option but to pay for formal qualifications and upskill yourself... That was almost a Roger mini-rant!

      I love these kinds of things because it looks very simple. Especially when you see it done it’s all very logical. The three sides are vertical. The one side goes back to match the angle of the roof… Then you have the picture of the dormer roof itself. It all makes sense. There’s a lot of calculation and a lot that can go wrong. Looks like a very fine job.

      Hi Stephen, it does look bad but that section of timber will be cut off when we come to fit the soffits and fascias. The majority of the strength in the rafter trimmers is between the birds mouth that sits on the wall plate and the purlin (or flitch beam in this case) that is further up inside the roof.

      @daihedral9269 3 роки тому

      @@SkillBuilder The reason Scottish roofs are close boarded is that historically local Scottish slates were normally smaller, thicker and heavier and more irregularly sized so battens would have had to be so close together to accommodate the slates that it was easier and more efficient just to close board. The sarking boards were laid with a penny gap to allow for expansion/contraction and ventilation of the roof space so it's not like they were for providing protection from the weather.

      All nails can split timber. We take off roofs of over 100 years old with cut nails which have split the timber but just try getting them out.

    Good job but the ridge board needed to be a bit taller to give the plumb cuts a bit more bearing.

      It is a tiny roof so the load on the rafters is the square root of stuff all. Come back in a hundred years and it won't have moved, sagged or sunk.

    Is it worth treating the cut ends of the timbers when doing something like this, or is that just a marketing gimmick to sell more preservatives?

    • @SkillBuilder
      @SkillBuilder  3 роки тому +1

      It is a good idea to treat the end grain but we usually only do it on exposed locations. In this case the risk is very low

      Finally somebody has discovered his true identity and the reason he comes to work in a horse drawn Transit. He fell from grace when he got that Festool addiction but everyone is allowed a guilty pleasure.

      @SkillBuilder  3 роки тому +2

      Baz Baz, There is nothing wrong it the rafter is oversized but on a 4 inch rafter you don't want to weaken that leg. Plus, if you do overcut you get loads of people moaning about it on the comments

    Just a kind comment, but if we are to improve health and safety going forward then if your filming demonstrate at 100%, James is using his paslode without ear protection and my fellow Cumbrian without eye protection. I was 30 years in the Fire Service, if you cut corners and you may get hurt!.
