Thanks Robin, lots of useful tips here, even in what was a quick & simple project !
I agree with Robin - You can find anything you need on the internet - I even know of a bloke who purchased a Dumper on on the internet..😇 Great sauna bench!
Being an apprentice your videos are a god send, please keep doing what you’re doing
Thank you Shauna!! Will do!
old school for me drilling tile, masking tape and a masonary bit (no hammer on drill) - takes a while and you have to be careful not to force the bit through - just patience and high rpm with a cup of water.
Nice job Robin as usual
I use a small piece of plywood , I drill a hole the same size as the diamond bit and attach double sided tape to the plywood, feed the diamond bit through the plywood, line up the diamond bit with the mark on the tile the push the plywood to the
tile and stick it on and the drill, guaranteed not to move. You can take the plywood off when half way through or keep going until you have drilled all the way. I also use the same proceedure on all size diamond bits, I haven't broken a tile yet! Use plenty of water especially on the large bits.
A hint from the Skill Builder is to dill through soft material to unclog your diamond bit, keeps it sharp.
Robin takes everything to another level......
Hi, Robin I cheated when I first started to drill tiles, I pinched the ideas from somebody Who was much cleverer than me. You may know him His name was Robin Clevett. So, I watched how you did it a long time ago. And then I've never looked back. So, thank you very much for the Information on how to do it again. You did tell me long time ago and I've never forgotten it.
I use a wet sponge or cloth around the bit when drilling porcelain, it keeps the bit cooler and controls the slurry
I use a squirt bottle and give it a spray when the tile dust turns pasty and the bit stays cool and lasts longer
Great video !!!! Thank you
Fantastic as ever👌
The "rod" idea is so simple and useful. I'm an electrician and security installer but i use "rod" even in my work. I use it for things like trunking and conduit amongst many other things
fantastic bench,
be carful of fingers near where the door open, especially if children are about. you could lose your fingers.
When drilling with that tile bit after you get started get a old squirt bottle "windolene or the like" fill with water a spray as Yr drilling saves time when u drill 👍
Great shout Steve
Good tips Robin. I use a small cordless Hilti SDS Rotary hammer with built in vacuum. Along with 4 Cut Kango masonry bits. I'm drilling tiles every other day with this setup. Quickly and with no probs.
good choice of material👍alder for benches and lava boards, aspen-wall and ceiling cladding. For sauna only leaf tree👍
Great brush-skills by the young fella in the background 😂
That would be Josh!!
Lovely video! Really inspirering to have a go yourselves, nice find that sauna wood
very very good
How do I buy you a beer, I enjoy your content, as a fellow tradey but in the electrical world there's something about watching other trades doing wizardly things 😂
Hi Chris!! That's kind of you mate, nice thought!! Glad you enjoyed the video!!
A timely video Robin as I have just completed building and cladding a sauna with only the benches to do👍My customer was thinking about Larch or Cedar for the benches, but that Alder looks very nice🤩 (I also use the 'dip n push' technique when drilling hard tiles😮) Cheers
It's a really nice material Del, would you like the name of the company that I bought it from??
@ukconstruction Oh, and I've got a mate up North who said he's got some nice, freshly felled Sycamore if want some😲
@@thetallcarpenter ffs lol nice 1
@@antonyporter5045 Too soon for that one😜
❤❤❤
whose that young lad in the back ground moving at the speed of light robin.. lol
1:54 Have you tried the Bosch Hex 9 for hard Ceramics? They are really good. I know it's not ceramic tiles you have there but it made for porcelain, marble and granite
Put the drill on a slower setting and you wont need to cool the bit so much. Will actually work out quicker to drill the hole.
Will give that a go!!
Hi robin. Massive fan of your videos. I see you use alot of different brands of tools just wondering if you had a favourite?
Great video mate ,any news on the roofing square sale date , thanks
😮
You should just run the drill bit in the water each time you dip, you'll be surprised how much more comes off the drill bit, leaving it cleaner when you carry on.
I know no ones going to be laying down on it but Id not sleep easy without at least a leg in the middle haha
Will you treat the wood or leave it natural?
Hi Robin , my paslode 2nd fix gun is playing up lately and they want silly money to repair it . I was thinking of purchasing a Hikoki 16Ga battery only 2nd fix gun , do the paslode nails fit this gun as I have a mountain of such nails , do you think the Hikoki gun is worth the cost or is it still best to stick with paslode , your opinion will be of value to me but not binding 🙂.
Keep well ,
Dermot Kelly .
Can you make a whisky cabinet?
lovely bit of work thanks for that, are you going to be at Kempton next week?
Hi Bob, I am going to Kempton not sure what day yet though!!
I will probably put a story on my Instagram later in the week about what day we will go!!
Took your curved wall down for the vid, that's commitment 🤪
And emptied the pool 😂
@@chrisb2443 got to love continuity 😂
Great video as always.
The only thing I was confused about was the use of sauna wood for a wet room? Aren’t saunas incredibly dry rooms? Everyone I go in them the air is like desert air, painfully dry. Steam rooms are very wet, but saunas always seem very dry and hot. I know in the manual ones they pour some water on the stones, but that doesn’t seem to wet the air. What I do know is that hit air can hold way more water than cold air, so the fact that the air is so incredibly hot, the water is just locked into the air and doesn’t get on anything, if it was cold the water would condensate on things around the room and also be visible in the air s water vapor like mist and fog.
Maybe I’m wrong, but seems like cedar oak may be better for wet rooms?
Use glass drill bits not dimond.
Thought you was going to make a work bench, not a seating bench. Ace video though, great attention to precision
great video are they ForgeFast screws ???
These are Spax
@@ukconstruction cheers
Great video Robin. Can I ask what brand the work trousers are?
There are Englebert Strauss
@@ukconstruction thank you Robin. As a designer (branding and graphic) I have to say I’m really impressed with the level of detail you go to in your videos. Long may the very awesome content continue.
Are 4 screws really going to be strong enough if 2 people sit on it?
The pull out strength of these screws into the trustud timber partitions is massive, from memory it was a 60mm screw with about 35mm embeded into the actual stud
