Honestly, I could watch Robin for days on end. I’m 20 years in the trade as a kitchen installer 2nd fixer and I’m still always picking up tips and learning from this legend.
"take your time enjoy your craft" love that, so true
I just wish it was true in the real world 🤦♂️ of site carpentery
I do just that but i find i loose alot of jobs because of it. People want stuff done fast and cheap.
@@lukebradford195 me too people don't care how good of a Chippie you are money is always the underlying factor people only want to pay between 80 and 120 a day they think all carpenters are the same🤦♂️ until something goes wrong

I'm one of those chippies that think they pretty good at all aspects of carpentry.
Fairplay Robin, every video i learn just a little bit more .
Well done squire 👏
I know this is for educational purposes but deadset Robin is a master craftsmen, the way he was sharpening his chisel there , he does that when No ones around , I love how good he is at Carpentry
Thanks Robin. We all really appreciate and enjoy your videos
The first one I have watched, but come away with several tips. I watched as I'm sussing out the skeleton jig.
I'd love to see a video of the locks and handles and the lock plate to see how a master craftsman like Robin dose it. Great idea with the clamps.
It is coming and it will surprise you
@@SkillBuilder Why, does he get Roger to do it?
Bin doing this for nearly 40 years and I’m still learning pal! Love watching you!
Robins joiners box dont you just love it pure class
Love it Robin. Nothing kills production like talking someone through what you're doing. Well done and thank you for your tips!!
Robin you are genuinely brilliant..top of your game....your attention to detail is unbelievable, love these video's....take the DIY'er to the next level! Thanks again look forward to the next instalment!
outstanding guys! thanks again Robin, you do a fantastic job and your passion screams through!
You seem to have a joy of this craft in a way that I've taken for granted. Thanks for the reminder
Proper craftsmanship.
Self adhesive furniture rubber pads work well on the three way clamps Robin! Nice doors btw, nice choice for the build.
I've fitted doors this way for years (down to the helper you mention) I've been mocked so many times for my trend hinge jig, but it has made my life so much easier. Glad to see someone else using one. Ace call on the corner chisel, had mine for 15 years and still don't position it perfectly every time.
Nothing wrong with working smarter than harder, if the jig works for you, go for it.
What has Robin been doing this weekend? 02:05
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🏌️
😂😂😂😂
I bet he’s got a jig for that
I am currently learning the trade as a carpenter & joiner. I love watching your channel as well as scott brown carpentry it makes me want to expand my knowledge about the trade & i strive to become as good as you both. Two great channels with outstanding craftsmanship so keep up the good work & i look forward to seeing more content in the future 👌🔨🗜📐
Beautiful work! Once again.
A good motto there Robin. Price it right do it right and enjoy it
Superb , craftsman at the top of his game 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Just like to say a big thanks for creating this video. I just bought the skeleton jig to hang 12 solid oak doors myself in my own home. Like you I didn’t want to use the bradawls on the doors and was wondering about clamping the jig to the door. Seeing and hearing about this method has given me the confidence to do just that, although I’ll have to lift the doors from the floor to accommodate my long clamps. I’ll also look to make a thinner end stop like you have. Everything else you mentioned also confirms what I was already thinking.
My only worry is that I need to cut a few mm of the bottom of a couple of the doors and want to do it without any tear out. I do have the router and I do have a cheap mini track saw I’ve never used. Guess I could practice on an old door and see what works best.
Thanks again.
You should sennd that jig back and buy The Essential Hinge Jig from Bench Dogs it is way better.

Just great to see perfection as standard. Fed up with trades on sites looking confused at the standard i work too. They just don’t understand quality.
That made me happy too Robin! Lovely doors
Hi Robin
Always watching your videos, learning that bit more off you ( perfect no bradawl marks with the clamps for new doors ) thanks again Robin/skill builder. TopMan,
Fellow chippy..
Darrin , Liverpool
I've done the same thing, using the 3-way clamps on the jig. I glued some bits of leather to each of the side faces of the clamps that would be clamping the door.
Love watching this this fella skilled on another level.
As usual an absolute master class in carpentry. Great advice take your time and price accordingly 👍
You are so pleased with yourself! Happy Days!
True craftsman. Attention to every detail.
Great Robin, you hit the jackpot with the door match.
Hi Robin,great to see the old Yankee pump screwdriver still got mine from 40 years ago when I was an apprentice coach builder, infact still got the old mans and that is all brass must be an original anyway stay safe and by the way great job enjoyed watching.
Lookin good. Robin always seems to have the luxury of working in acres of space, if that was one of my jobs I'd be having to router out the hinges in the living room as the clients are watching the telly 🙈🙈🙈
Robin's rule. Work for millionaires
@@SkillBuilder hahaha giz a job
Or doing it on a sloped driveway because theres no room in the house and the garage is full of shit 😩
There are levels in this game, and this is elite.
Amazing work and skill teachings. Hats off from the USA!
Awesome doors 🚪 keep up the good work and all that jazz.
Hi. A couple of felt pads stuck to those clamp ends would make them perfect.
I get rolls of rubber that are used for putting on vice jaws, quite cheap, handy to have in the tool box for things like that.
You beat me to it😅😅
they're the same colour (blue) as mine, IIRC they're silver line. and furniture self adhesive felt pads work fine given that these clamps aren't designed to apply huge amounts of force
was going to post that, self adhesive ones you get for the feet of tables etc woud be ideal and save any faffing about with cardboard
Those doors are stunning.
Beautiful work
Hi robin I use a 10v makita drill absolutely fantastic they don't heat screws up at all perfect for what you're doing keep up the brilliant videos
Nice to see an apprentice trained carpenter who understands the old ways. I did my apprenticeship with British Rail back in the 1970's and we had to remove the spring from our Yankee screwdriver so there was no possibility that it could inadvertently spring out when working on veneer panels and furniture.
A few people got one in the eye when they were released. A bit scary really.
Thanks to make the set up, routing, install in such even gradual pace, if I have your tools, I will do just as well after 3 mistakes filled doors. Thanks again.
Quality workmanship every time Robin
Ths has made me chuckle a bit with using clamps on the door. I rang Trend regarding this same issue months ago with no joy. Thanks for another great video ! doors looks awesome!
Class job thanks Robin
Those doors are lovely!
13:23 All the sparky's shouting at the monitors lol. Fantastic lesson on how to hang a door. Many thanks. Cheers.
@Nicholas Pearce No I was on about all the cables hanging on the faceplate which are themselves hanging on the copper wire and not fixed to the wall. Just made me giggle as we've all done it.
Don’t need Netflix anymore, I just watch all your videos, very very enjoyable and instructive, your house looks amazing, can’t wait to see it finished 👌
I bought the howdens hinge jig when it first came out about 20 yrs ago , , i did a job with hundreds of doors . Worth its weight in gold , its battered now , never knew about the skeleton will defo get that. I have the lock jig to . Ive been a carpenter 45 yrs , and came up against a lot of snobbery and anti jig sentiment when i first used it, glad Robin is using one . Great idea on the 3 way clamp . What about a speed clamp with a self made threaded hole it top with own rod pad and turning knob just a thought 🙂👍👍👍
Got one of those trend hinge jigs but 240 dewalt router .stopped using it but tempted to give it another go now but buy the cordless to go with it and make better use of it .was good on commercial sites .metal studding and same old everywhere and loads of them .but found myself doing more private property's and sort of left it behighned. Love your ox door holder by the way .I've got the trend one but that looks a lot better idea and more stable .never seen it before so thanks for that .great work as always
I never liked door hanging but this was very straightforward. Thanks
I would love to get involved in something like this with Robin, I pick up something from just about every video and can tell he loves what he does and takes pride in every cut. I live not far from Capel and would happily give up a weekend to lend a hand. The house is looking awesome btw 👌
Ps. I met Roger once while on a loft conversion job in Reigate, top bloke 👍
Great to see a real skilled craftsmen at work great video
Thanks Brian
Lovely job.
For adding pads to the 3-way clamps, Amazon and others sell rubber strips with self-adhesive backing. Easy to cut and install to eliminate a bit of awkwardness and risk...
Wow some luck with the double doors perfect👌...Top class work
Damn skilled bloke! Great tips! Keep them coming!
That was so lucky with the book matched pairI you had I had a pair of oak ones in a pair last week they thought I was mad trying to sort through 11 doors but I found 2 Perfect 👌one happy chippy
I got some of those pump up lifter things after seeing Robin use them and they are brilliant, so cheap too, got mine in Lidls.
The first ones on the market were around £18.00 each but that game is over now.
Love watching your videos......inspiring
Robin those doors are simply stunning and the grain continuation on the double ones it's absolute perfection! Some people just don't understand that hanging doors perfectly to our anal standards takes time especially with special does such as those!! Especially when fitting in to an old, completely bent out of shape/square casing where it can take well over an hour to shape the door. I shall look in to those walnut doors for my own house!! 👍🙂
Like that idea brilliant! They are edge clamps designed to clamp kitchen units together then to push the fronts flush or when laminating timber edges on 👍
For the clamps you could use them round sticky padded feet you get for chair legs or coffee table legs for flooring. Them come in loads different sizes.
Really cool setup.
A couple or three ideas for your corner chisel comments. 1) buy a fancy blade router that can cut square corners. - don't quite understand how, but it works. 2) get a piece of 3 inch plate, cut a space in corner for chisel to fit and tack it in. hold the plate into frame to square it with door before hitting chisel. 3) get hinges with rounded corners so corner chisel is redundant.
Top video Robin I’m ok at hanging doors but your tips should mean I can up my game, have you tried “Hinge Tite” screws? They have a extra wide thin thread and are way better than the ones that are normally included with the hinges.
A very nice doors,like a twins.
Good job, well done...
Them doors are gorgeous
Great idea
Superb job
What a stroke of luck having those book matched doors ;-) top work Robin.. Love your vids .. Makes me a better chippy.. ;-)
Brilliant guy, met him at Dorking petrol station.
Hi Naveed, it was nice meeting you too, be good to have a look round your site, looks great mate!
Top Class workmanship
The tip on the 3 way G Clamp ,Tips hat thanks fella!
Great idea with the clamps for the ore finished doors
Love the vids as per usual Robin
Dude wow. That door match discovery was incredible
Perfect grain match! Wow! Pukka job as always! Excellent doors,excellent tradesman. Nice!!! (Ps. I don’t envy your responsibility!!).
Those doors are awesome
Robin is the Man !
great work very good carpenter
Absolute Legend 👊
Great one Robin .... even though I'm not a Chippie I find these video's 'magnetic' to watch :-)
Excellent work, I’m not from the trade and find it all fascinating.
Great video!!
watched this video for the jig as I purchased one but not sure how to use it ended up watching the whole video good work mate
Beautiful doors 👍🏻
Watching Rob work makes me realise how hectic I am on site 😂😂 He's so chill
Instead of tallow, a great thing for driving screws easier is beeswax. I have a little block I push the tip of screw into and it works brilliantly. Also great for rubbing on the sole of your plane, glides so much smoother.
Run a same size steel screw in the holes before using the fancy chrome plated ones. I always used soap for a lubricant.
@@dielauwen I always ask for extra screws from whoever supplies the hinges because if you hang twenty doors you are bound to muller 2 or 3. Either that or use different screws on the last and least important door.
Many of the older chippies I worked with used to have an old tobacco tin that was filled with wadding wrapped on cotton cloth and fitted inside and then soaked with meths I think. They then pulled the base of the plane backwards over the cloth to remove resin build up, the result was a plane that glides over the wood with ease making life much easier.
Wow what a match on that grain😂👍🏻. lovely job as ever 🍻
Hi Robin, with the three way clamps which i use aswell i've put 2mm single sided glazing tape on ends and it works perfect
Brilliant and very entertaining
Dip tip of screws in wood glue before driving in. They never strip out. Same for fixing hinges for Kitchen Doors. How many Kitchen cupboard doors have you seen fall off when the screws strip out of the chipboard?
Bit of wood glue and that will never happen again.
Love the doors Robin. The dark walnut will look awesome against the white walls and trim! Nearly there with the build now. What's the plan for the kitchen?
I have a couple of trend skeleton jigs and noticed the same problem. The first one I bought the top gap plate was around 2mm which was ideal. They then changed the top plate with the later ones and made it thicker. You can counteract the thicker top plate by spinning it out of the way when you rout the door and position the jig so the door overhangs the jig by a mm or so.
A real pleasure to watch a craftsman and perfectionist.
They are so cool
Great vid....
In the US we are using a finger jointed wood product in place of MDF, for trim applications, it’s basically many small wood pieces glued together, super straight and stable. Its also exterior rated and pre primed.
We have that too. Velux windows use it. No knots
Gorgeous doors! Book matched panels then book matched the doors too! Love them! Black walnut is a touch of class imho. Oh, and your comment about the plunge saws? You both agreed that Mafell was the way forward, remember? I've only gone and bought one with two clamps two track and a bevel cutting little track! Never spoilt myself so much in 32 years on the tools but it's a gem! don't know how I managed without one!
Well done Kevin, that is a tool for life..
RE tallow on the screws. I always like to have a pot of silicon grease, or just a cheap bar of soap when fixing soft screws into hardwood. Put the end of the screw in the grease or just rub the thread over the soap. This reduces the friction and lessens the chance to snap that nice looking electroplated brass screw half way in!
