Excellent. Finally a man who knows how to work both sides of the chisel.
Well ya made that look easy👌 most of mine are done with a sawblade with 4 teeth, a chisel thats more of a flat head screwdriver, a half dead battery in the saw, and the joint in the middle of a knot. And in the rain🤣
Martin o connor amen brother 🤣
that is the reality sometimes
Fastest having joint I have ever seen done, great videos Robbin, thank you for sharing your skill and expertise, greatly appreciated.
I just love it when they put steel staples in my timber. thx for this video showing how quick and simple you make a half lap
Always a pleasure watching. Cheers.
Fantastic ! Quick and Precise we all wish we where as good as you.
So much quicker than the small fin cuts ive done in the past will defo be trying this method thanks
Great little tip Robin
Such a simple jig. Will be making one of those. Cheers RC
That's the only time I've seen you do something quick and not perfect great videos
Glad you liked it!
Cgi I think it could,
Almost like doing an apprenticeship watching you Robin. Quality content!
Great video as ever. Well done mate.
I just watched that vid , you subconsciously do lots of things that carpenters do that others did not realise, You cut waste side of the line , hollowed the joint out , and used a chisel that is suitable to be hit with a steel hammer , you put the chisel down on the timber , to keep the edge and not on the concrete floor
great stuff Robin , only people who see that stuff mentioned above are the ones taught that way , bang on mate
It's a 28 ounce California framer also known as big blue
Being a bricky I normally savage the wall plate half joints with the stihly....watching that was different class thats the fastest I've ever seen a wall plate cut and it was still really neat 👌 very good Mr clevett 👏
Thank you Mr Jackson that's a kind comment!!
Loving the Monty Don style “oh, hello, you just caught me...” intro :)
I was sitting here thinking, how the fuck did he know I was here! I looked behind me and the cat was there, maybe he was talking to him?!
Sirus probably thinking about pusse ,
I would totally watch that show, Gardener's World but for carpentry/building/DIY
After school I used to watch ‘this old house with Steve and norm’ and ‘the new Yankee workshop’ on Sky. Used to drive my brother mad because he wanted to watch Star Trek. Check out the new Yankee workshop on TH-cam, has a very gentle pace.. rip norm.
Absolutely marvelous 🥳🥳🥳
I know this might be hard to believe but this guys actually 72 years old. Amazing!
Nice piece of craft 👍 have a nice weekend
Only recently discovered your channel through skill builder. I think I’d piss my pants if I could spend time working with someone like you. 👍🏼👍🏼 keep up the good work.
Is that 6x2
In Yorkshire we tend to use 4x3, regional differences hey.
Videos like that are great!
No rubbish, straight into it straight to the point
Hi, we use 4 x 3 sometimes, its mainly 4 x 2 in the south, this is a roof supported on a small timber frame wall that I am making in 6 x 2, thanks for the comment
@@ukconstruction Did you consider using a double top plate Sir? I'm not questioning your methods or second guessing you, 🔨 🇮🇪
@@TheToolnut its for a timber framed garage made in oak, and the roof is on a stud wall about 400mm up from the oak frame over the doors
@@TheToolnut Can you please explain how to mark out a rafter a double top plate? for a straight pitched roof. I know how to do the single but for the double, do you trust the drawings or do you have to measure the exact height of the blockwork. Does that mean you need the best block layer ever on a double cavity block wall build? Would you recommend using lasers or string for marking out the roof/
Nice one!
I set my blade to the half depth cut across the grain then use the saw blade as a plane.
Hey Robin cool video, the cross cut saw looks a nice balanced machine reminds of the Skillsaw version, stock clearance wouldn't be the same with out a staple, have a awesome weekend all the best Tony
Thanks Tony you have a great weekend too mate
You make it look so easy Robin, until I try to do it myself.
Class video thanks
We always use 4x3 in my neck of the woods for wallplate.
I swear our phones listen to our conversations. Just last night we were talking about the wall plates and the fact that we cant butt them against each other and need to make a joint.
I open TH-cam and this was one of the first recommendations. CoIncidence?
But thanks Robin for showing me how it’s done :)
Yeah they do. There was this video on a guy talking about dog toys near to his phone and sure enough all he'd get was adverts for dog toys. He didn't even have a dog
Bravo mate. Rip saw master!
Hey Robin, would ya take on a 40 year old apprentice 😊??? I am in complete awe always of your skill, precision, and passion for your craft!!!
Pot & Kettle Puppets mate when you get to near retirement you will be skilled, no jokes, fact of life , don’t know what to do now, wank my self stupid or make TH-cam videos, 😂😂
@@darrenhutchinson5435 do the latter
Haha ingenius!
verry good
How about a list of tools used in the video description in future vids???
Awesome channel btw
Rapid work as always Robin! A bit off topic but Any chance you could put a chisel sharpening video up?
I’ve been doing it one way my whole career , but since getting stuck into TH-cam and seeing all the techniques out there, would be great to get your opinion on it especially what stones you prefer, diamond, whetstones Etc... anyway let us know, I’m sure plenty of people would be interested!
take it easy mate!
That was about twice as fast as I do half laps on boards half that size on a mitre saw 👏👌
I do almost the same with a jig ect only I don’t cut round the edge injust cross cut the lot closer together & wackout as you did
Use chopsaw and set to depth and cut out neater and quicker.
Master chippy!
Both hands behind the chisel edge Rob, it’ll have ya one day.
Hi robin, a question for you on a different subject, I’ve to buy a new finishing nailer, I’m considering either the new hikoki 18 g or the Milwaukee gen2 18g nailer, which nailer would you recommend, thanks
Yeah!
I’m sorry you’ll have to do that again, I sneezed and missed most of it! Great vid.
I wonder if this get as many views as the scarf joint. Nice one Robin
Imagine!!!
Love the video. But please keep both hands behind the chisel.
Nothing dangerous in this film. It is like walking on a pavement, dangerously near the traffic, but not walking in the road, that would be dangerous. His left hand never lined up with the force of the right. How can I be so sure? 40 years experience and a keen eye for footage. Your statement is good for a student but wasted on Robin.
Have you considered using a battery router to check it out? You could use that jig with a clamp as a fence and rebate it all out. No marking out the depth or using 2 saws, a chisel and a hammer. Worth a try next time but heaps of wood shavings.
Any news on your roofing square
👍
Ok robin golden question the hikoki or the Milwaukee, which one is better and why? Love watching the channel
Hi I know this has nothing to do with this video but I just got the hikoki 1st fix nailer can I use 34 degree nails even though it says 30 degree
What saws are you using?
Unbelievable teckers
When I win the lottery Robin have a guess who's building my house🤔 and it won't be wimpy, take care.
Thanks Alan, it would be my pleasure to do that... many thanks for watching my videos mate
Todays timber is nothing like the timber we had in the late 70s which was Hemlock that was full of knots and hard as iron, no battery skill saws back then and no razor sharp hardpoint saws. A rip saw and a crosscut Diston and each halving was a 10 - 15 minute job for a skinny school leaver trying to learn a trade
Do you keep halving joints for corners or do all them on every top plate join? Or is it job specific for you?
Usually half laps would be done at corners and on straight runs to carry on. At least I would anyway.
Exactly....
Not sure, but I think he's done that once or twice.
What model exactly is that Milwaukee saw you have ?
Owen Beattie is a fake Dewalt
Why did you use two different saws?
Simply for speed, one is set full depth and is better for the edge cuts and the other is set to the joint depth, I had a dozen or so to do so this made it super fast and accurate
Robin is that Estwing the 24oz framing??
Looked bit bigger than a 24, think it was a california framing hammer
That's a 28oz long shaft straight claw est wing I have one but it only comes out on special occasions because of the weight 📐🔨
hi everyone I hope you are all well. I seem to remember Robin saying about a place online where you can get boards cut to size and they do all of the edging laminate to.. so you can just put it together. Anyone Know which site that was?
Hi Mate, that's Cutwrights, if you google it then you will see the website, if you call them tell them your a mate of mine!! All the best Robin
@@ukconstruction Thank you for that. keep up the great content
i was taught the length of the lap jiont was one and a half times the width of the stock . is this true ? have i been doing it wrong for many years
150mm or 6 inches will do.
On 4x3 you can only do 4” on 90 degree corners anyway so - i dont think it matters really 4” or above on straight runs
Hey!! i have got a few questions if that's ok?
I'm a labourer, I have all my own tools and consider myself as good if not better than a general builder, but believe the money I earn just don't warrant my skill and work level, I get paid a fair wack below £100 and that's not cash in hand so I pay tax etc , and sometimes leave my house before 7am and hardly ever get home before 7pm, I feel I'm stuck really as I love my job love working with the people I do, but I can earn more money working in a shop with less hours. What would you recomend. Do I just give up or keep pushing and learning more skills ? Kind regards mark
Work for yourself
If you can't get a decent rise you move on or work for yourself, it's the only way, if you're confident in what you can do then go for it
Keep going until your confidence is at a level your happy with then apply for a skills test through a local collage then you can apply for a BLUE cscs skilled card you can get more money on site then because it's hard to build a reputation when you can't get domestic work hope this helps
Get a van if you don't have one already and go out on your own. Work with your hands and develop your skills. If you pack it in and go work in some shop you'll have to work with women or worse for a woman. Stick with the trade, it's proper graft for men, 👍 🔨 🇮🇪
Could have slotted it together
as much as i love following you with the great work you do, please can these be a little longer than the crappy adverts that get pushed on me
I didn’t get adverts. Perfect length video. Straight to the point and nothing unnecessary.
Download Adblock plus. It's a free program, and I never see ads.
What chisel is that?
It's just an Irwin the type you find in a set on promotion
Good job your not on price !
Why don’t you offer members of the public a chance to work with you for the day so you can pass on tips and your knowledge to them obviously charging them a fee of course 😜. It’d be a great little money earner and I’m sure you wouldn’t have a shortage of people queuing up to work with the very talented mr clevett ps don’t forget my commission for the idea 👍
Why not just use a router
You have offers from people who want to work with you. Maybe you should consider internships; you pay expenses in return for work based training.
Rubbish! 4/8th joints are more precise! Unsubed.
Sirus always one , 😂
Bye
Hi robin, a question for you on a different subject, I’ve to buy a new finishing nailer, I’m considering either the new hikoki 18 g or the Milwaukee gen2 18g nailer, which nailer would you recommend, thanks
