The whole Build with A&E are committed to quality and craftsmanship nothing of poor quality is acceptable to these men and does not get past them.A great example for us all in our work.
Tony is probably one of the most conciseness builders I’ve seen in my working life.
When we filmed I visited one of Tony’s site’s. There was a great atmosphere between them all. Treat your staff well and they treat you well.
🙏🏼

Always look forward to your uploads, true craftsman, this is a exciting collaboration with Dan, he has a good way of explaining things and a true passion. Top work lads 👍💪🏼
Hi elliejake11 much appreciated it was great fun working with Dan and his Roofing Square makes a difference all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Thank you, I try and explain it reasonably simple. 🙏
just started getting into roofing more, spent ages trying to work out how to give out the length of rafters to the birdsmouth without physically holding up the wood and marking lol enjoying it tho and learning a lot. these vids are perfect timing :D
Hi Am AM I am glad to hear you are taking the plug and having a go thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
A great bunch of skilled guys enjoying their trade and producing top work. It goes to show how much thought and preparation is needed for roof work, as I've found out myself recently. I was wondering if you ever fix through the wall plate into the block below or is this unnecessary with modern straps? Thanks for sharing👍
Hi Adrian much appreciated it was so much fun, but using Dan’s Roofing Square does make the job easier, fixing through the wall plate never done it but there’s always a first especially with engineers having to tick boxes I always strap them all the best Tony 👍
Great video - I wish Dan and his square was around 30 years ago when I was struggling cutting and trying to pitch roofs. Great work lads, love the videos keep it up lads. 😀
Hi GS Gaming it’s a cracking bit of kit definitely worth a purchase makes life easier all the best Tony 👍 have awesome weekend
Great workmanship.
Hi Jeff much appreciated have a awesome weekend all the best Tony 👍
Looking good buddy got to get on the pica pencils Tony 👍 have a great weekend mate
Hi Mike much appreciated great to see your channel building I love your content have a awesome weekend all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE thanks Tony looking forward to lock down restrictions being lifted up and we will have to have that re match 👍
You and Robin Clevitt are the best Uk channels on here. Keep up the great work.
Hi Steve thanks for your kind words, Robin is an absolute awesome craftsman and really nice bloke to talk to. His channel is awesome, you can see the passion he has for his industry and I love that, hopefully might do something together which would be super cool all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
@@BuildWithAE he’ll be peddling a roofing square too pretty soon.lol
I think build with A&E fans enjoy your methodology and approach to the task mate😍👍
😂 just got to crack on as my old boss would say
I’am interested in seeing the square once finished, to see what else it can do, just hope Robin has made full use of it, don’t know weather you remember a gentleman called George Ellis complete Legend, college days pretty much read all his books, what a geek 😂 any way he invented his own roofing square which originally came from Vermont patented by Silas Hawes, Silas had a design for the framing square and George took it to the next level with so many additional uses for years I have tried to buy one of the original George Ellis Squares but to no avail maybe one day all the best Tony 👍
Dan gets about a bit. He was pitching a roof in London yesterday according to you tube. I Cant get enough of these trad roofing videos. Great work lads
It’s a busy life being a chippy. 😳. Thanks
haha i watched that one too! great to see it lads. Lots of quality work going on!
@@jonodogdesign 👍🏻🙏🏼
Hi NB 😂 Dan is a true legend he is an amazing Carpenter and a true craftsman it was such a laugh and enjoyment working together can’t wait until the next time, Dan’s Roofing square is a massive game changer and I came across it when watching some TH-cam videos so I bought one and wouldn’t be with out it now all the best Tony 👍
Have a awesome weekend Guys
What an amazing atmosphere to work in. Must be a pleasure to go to work. Very jealous
Hi Joshua the sun was shining and we were outside what more could anyone ever want just the best have a awesome weekend all the best Tony 👍
Tony hurry up and put the next video out for us!!! great to see Dan again twice in one week,
Hi jlewis1688 much appreciated got a few to go before the next roofing one all the best Tony 👍 have awesome weekend
Like buses, wait ages then 2 come along.. 👍🏻
Thanks for yet another great video, is it an option to use screws without raw plugs as they are insulation blocks ?
Im now retired after 49 years in the building trade bricklaying, I was lucky worked 17 year for a company were we all worked with other trades so learnt a lot, from each other, still miss working you seem like you all enjoy working together Im really enjoying your videos keep up the great work
Hi Andrew much appreciated I bet you still do a bit occasionally and passing that knowledge you have to the youngest of today all the best Tony 👍
Looking forward to.the next section now tony
Justin brickright 👍
Wow you guys know Dan the Essential carpentry tools man, excellent, i brought his squares and pitched many roofs, thank A&E and special thanks to Dan, got me out of many issues
Thank you Sam. 👍🏻.
Hi Sam I first came across Dan on TH-cam I then purchased one, The square and the calculation table that comes with it are easy to follow it’s an easy process for any one to pick up. All the the best Tony 👍 and a big special thanks to Dan pitching the roof with use 👍
Thanks Tony really appreciate your responce
@@Ultimate-roofing-square. Hi Dan, was just admiring your tool belt, where did you get the shoulder braces and that hammer holster from
@@samsingh2042 the braces are from tough build if memory serves me correct. If you get braces make sure they are not stretchy. They take all the weight off your waist. The hammer holder is from occidental, it’s not so cheap, around £50 but it’s very good quality. Check out TF Tools online. Thanks
This is melting my brain - youtube crossover! One minute Daniel is on SkillBuilder with James King and the next minute he's with Tony up in the Midlands!!
Hi Matt talk about timing, they did a cracking job on that one all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
@@BuildWithAE All the rooves that I've seen on these channels have been spot on. Having cut a few rooves myself back in the day it is VERY impressive the level of precision that people like Daniel achieve.
I’ve been very lucky to be able to take part in these films which I’m very grateful.🙏🏼
A&E quality , Nuff said .
Hi Spartrowel much appreciated all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome week
Either this roof is raised chord or Tony is a giant!!. I particularly enjoyed the banter about the brickie's and suspect much of it was edited out.🤐 (carpenters and bricklayers really do love each other). Great to see Dan using the Makita DHS660 and showing Tony the way forward with battery powered saws.👍 Cant beat lovely little hand cut roofs like these, and even better doing it with a fellow tradesman in the sunshine. Thanks for the video.😎
Hi Del thanks for your kind words, it was such a great day in filming and working with such a great fellow tradesmen, haven’t gone to the dark side yet with the DHS660 I’am going to hold out for the Skillsaw worm drive one hopefully some one can sell me one the essential carpenter on TH-cam reviewed it and I thought got to get me one of them love the old Skillsaw can’t beat them all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend hopefully we can do something soon Del together love you channel.
@@BuildWithAE Cheers Tony. Don't be afraid of looking into importing stuff from the US. (I have done regularly). The blade left worm drives are so powerful they need a shouldered mounting hole in the blade to stop it slipping. I found them a little brutish for even the heaviest work I do. Fingers crossed for a roofing video of my own tomorrow.🤞 Great video as always. Cheers
Tony would be a good partner for your you tube channel.. I’ve got 2 battery saws and the 18 v is so nice and light. Use it all the time.
Thanks Del. 👊🏻
@@Ultimate-roofing-square. Hi Dan. I've got DHS660 as well, and it really is great for roofing with up to inch and a half thick timber. Great to see you with Tony and the A&E team putting a good foot forward for UK carpentry and building. 🤩
@@thetallcarpenter I’m not sure if the model numbers but I know it fits on a guide rail. Very handy for sheet material when you want it accurate, but not plunge saw quality..😂.
I’m very grateful to work with Build with A&E.
Dan certainly gets about? Top work mate. 👍
I’ve been very lucky recently. Thanks. 👊🏻
Thanks for watching 👍
Got it down to a science. Cheers
Nice video. The screws going through the straps into the wall plugs.... Are they just a standard wood screw or stainless or specific masonry ones?
They are Just standard gold Timloc screws 👍
Hang on I saw Dan on my other favourite channel the other day.. Skill builder . I could watch you lot all day . Another top quality bit of joinery , love it !
We’ve just bought that Makita cordless saw for cutting our thermalite blocks 😁😁. Got the idea odd TH-cam . Dan needs his own channel or more collaborations . 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Hi Guy’s I seen that video yesterday on Skillbuilder great watch and channel, all the Guys on the channel are awesome tradesmen and Robin is doing a cracking job on his channel it’s great to see so much knowledge being shared, love the extension you guys are doing at the moment, I think you guys need Dan next have a awesome weekend all the best Tony 👍
I’m more than happy channel hopping..😂.
I’ve been lucky to do a bit on both.
Thanks 🙏🏼
@@BuildWithAE . Me and Alex got a mention on Skill builder the other day we were well chuffed 😁. Totally agree , TH-cam is such an amazing source of free knowledge 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
@@Ultimate-roofing-square. . Love your work Daniel , and I like how you baffle Roger 😏🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild I was happy for you guys to get the shout out it’s because you a awesome Guy’s all the best Tony 👍
Hi Tony. Once you go wormdrive you won’t go back. Takes a bit of re training yourself but once you are used to it, it’s do much easier.
Keep up the great content
Hi Keith I think I will switch to the battery Wormdrive this year, I would like to get my hands on the Skilsaw I seen a review on it, it’s a cracker plus of my apprenticeship days I had the Skilsaw Classic it was the go to saw of it’s day thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Great video and top work - Can I ask why you don't use concrete screws rather then plugs/screws?
Hi Salad Dodger cost really because we buy so many every year, but I should look again at the concrete screw and see if they have come down in price, quick question can you use them in YTong blocks thanks for watching all the the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Loving the 2h behind each ear.
Hi Dan some old habits never change thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍
Have a awesome weekend
Dan did a roof yesterday with the skillbuilder channel.. good guy
I sure did. Thanks.
Hi Sebastian he did, it is a great video on Skillbuilder, Dan’s Roofing Square is one of the tools that really makes pitching a roof easier, all the best Tony 👍 Dan is one of the nicest blokes I have meet and a awesome tradesmen.
@@BuildWithAE 🙏
Why all those screws in the wallplate straps? NHBC only require four screw fixings per strap into the blockwork. All those extra ones you put in are doing nothing, only adding to the labour cost of the job; it doesn't make it in any way a better job. I only raise that point because anyone watching would think that was the 'correct' way to do it. Of course, you can put in as many as you want, but it's completely pointless to do so. Nice to see Dan on this channel, a really down-to-earth and skilled tradesman.
Hi George it is true what you say about the straps but I never said that this is how it should be done I say this is how I do it and that’s really it, it’s funny I seen a few videos showing a wall plate only 4 x 2 being used but for me it’s always been 4 x 3 but that’s up-to the big sites but not for me, it was great having Dan working with us his Roofing Square is a cracking bit of kit, have a awesome weekend all the best Tony 👍
Thanks for the comment George. I’m very lucky to be invited to work with Tony on his great channel.
I was watching it thinking there's no way they specify that many screws
What size screws do you use?
Bloody hell dan you’re on tv more than Bradley Walsh 👍 great watch. How tall is Tony he’ll struggle in that room when it’s finished!,
Hi Ray 😂 😂😂 it’s funny how it all ran at the same time all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
I’m presenting The Chase next week 😂. Glad you liked the video 👊🏻.
If I’m not short enough, standing next to the big man makes me look even smaller.
I see Tony starts his screws with the Birmingham screwdriver.:)
😂 you should always tap your plug in with screw a little all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Dan still using your lovely square mate. Another hip roof next week.
Hi mpapa am.g it’s a cracking bit of kit game changer in roofing squares thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE Tony always watch your quality videos we need more lads like your team out there professional builders. No bodge work mate everything done correctly. Good to see your positive energy maman bless
Nice one, glad it’s serving you well. 🙏🏼
Wow dan is getting about. Personally I think festool is too good for anything other than 2nd fix...pica pencils you can keep them the leads way to thick and leads to soft. Master class as usual chaps 🔥🔫
Hi Fire Blaster no way Festool just crack on with it, I don’t think I will ever change from my 2H I’ve had that one 10 years now 😂 still going strong have a awesome weekend all the best Tony 👍
TH-cam would suggest there’s only two roofers in England, Dan and Robin. That’s a lot of roofs to build. 😂
Hi Heriot 😂 😂 Dan and Robin are both amazing Carpenters and tradesmen, but as we know there are many exceptional Carpenters on TH-cam and across the country, check out Larry Haun he’s a really Legend in the making he was the first American Carpenter to start filming before TH-cam was on the scene great life story definitely worth a look. Thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
😂. Nice one. 🔨🔨
You guys just dont stop, Larry Haun, joe haun, Norm abraham, Tom silva legendary carpenters, thats how i learnt carpentry on channel 133 old sky 1995, i could talk all day guys about wood work and tools, check out fastcap tools, they are nice
Everything's neater with Makita :)
Is that the same roofer bloke off of the Skill builder video the other day? Or am i imaginging it?
Yes.. 😳
Hi madge bishop we’re have I heard that name from, any way it is, Dan very kindly came up and worked with us and he is an incredible Carpenter and he has invented an amazing roofing square it’s a game changer all the best Tony 👍
Whats the name of his square, where can it be bought? Good vids. Keep her lit. 🤙🤙
part 2 ?
Why are you hand-sawing a cut next to strap?
Remember to leave a like guys it only takes less than 5 seconds
Hi Sonny much appreciated thanks for watching and your kind words all the best Tony 👍
Have a awesome weekend 👍
@@BuildWithAE Many thanks Tony have an awesome weekend yourself 🤝
Half a shift x3 men spent installing tie downs 🥴
Do you cement the wood onto the blocks first? If so, do you put anything under the timber?
Hi Mortar bed the wall plate down level all the best Tony 👍
Looks like height of room isn’t going to be that high or your very tall ? Never seen so many wall plate straps only ever so a couple being used so 👍🏻 for proper job
I find the C18 incredibly underpowered for site work.
T18 or TDC does wonders. CXS and C18 perfect for interior. I could be wrong though
Hi Rubicon shocked on the your C18 have spoken to the rep have a awesome week all the best Tony 👍
Why do you use so much screws in moveable/settling materials.? Surely screws have a tendency to snap or ring !
Would you ever consider using a 4 inch Galvanised Nail to use on the wall with restraint straps rather than drilling ?
Good work by the way keep it up 😃
I don’t understand, why so much screw gun handling,,,, what happened to hammer & spikes
Is this a chippy off, the old block ( see what i did there ) I thought it was funny
Hi Jim very dry 😂 hope you are well have a awesome weekend all the best Tony 👍
1:13 Not a great idea in case it gets dropped. The slightest misalignment of rotating parts can write off the tool.
Hi Nathan sorry you have lost me all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
@@BuildWithAE Haha sorry - I've had experience before where I've accidentally knocked a router off a bench and the impact bent the moving parts just the smallest amount but enough to cause real problems. Of course the manufacturing tolerance is so small that an attempted repair just made the problem worse and there was no option but to replace it. Ever since then I've been especially careful particularly with rotating tools. Hope you have a great weekend too!
I'm not a builder or carpenter,just an enthusiastic DIYer. At 4.15 you're making cuts on the wall plate. What is the purpose of this?
Hi because the straps have a natural inner curve and taking the corner off the timber allows it to seat neatly all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE thanks Tony, that makes perfect sense. Really appreciate your time.👍🏽
Ironically, that many fixings in the wall probably weakens it.
Hi Craftyinfidel maybe but in 35 years never had to go back all the best Tony 👍
As a European...I consider this "wall plate" ass useless piece of instalation... Just drill a hole through that wood and brick, push in chemical anchor and install thread rod and nut...and...that´s all folks...and for this length...you just need 3 thread rod for each wall
That room isn’t going anywhere……
