Robin “I’ve made a jig for it” Clevett
Definitely
Roger gets the most out of Robin by asking the right questions. I’ve not got a trade but I was a semi skilled labourer for 15yrs and I worked around all trades and guys new and old. How did I learn things and pick up tricks and clever ways of making things easier? Questions. Still to this day I ask any amount of questions if I see something new.
Picking someone’s brains as they say. Brilliant and costs nothing, free knowledge . I’ve gone down the maintenance man route since, turn my hand to anything. As an old joiner once said to me “Nothings impossible it just takes longer”. ✌🏻
Thank you Mr Smith. It is amazing how many builders are afraid to ask other tradesemen why they are doing something a certain way, they think it comes across as nosy but, like you say it costs nothing and everything you learn comes in handy.
I think it depends on how you ask. If you are genuinely interested and have a good attitude people tend to be more inclined to share. If they feel like it's an interrogation I think they're waiting for you to say you're doing it wrong or there's a better way. I always try to ask questions just for my own understanding and everyday is a school day.
Robin reminds me of a guy I used to work with , patient works to a 100% quality workmanship every time no matter what the job , course I listened to everything he did and I adapted that attitude, shame most tradesman don’t pass on skills or want to teach the ones who want to learn, but great videos some great tradesman on this channel 👏
Its a difficult one , as many of the excellent craftsmen I have worked with could not teach their way out of a paper bag .
I'm not a carpenter by any stretch of the imagination, but I find these videos so useful in my attempt to learn a bit along the way. Your attention to detail is inspiring. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
That's what my missus says " all that set up for 2 seconds "
I really enjoy watching you two chatting along while working on these kinds of projects. and I learn stuff too :)
Glad you enjoy it! Some people find it intrusive.
Skill Builder not at all!
It;s the crack while you are working. That's why I still go to work even though past retiring age. I have only been watching you two since lockdown and enjoy every minute. Thanks
Love watching jobs done properly - great seeing a real craftsman at work. Bet Robin and Roger are never short of work!
Robin, I started out as a house-basher immediately I qualified as a carpenter & joiner. Covered everything traditional for many years but then an uncle got me started on the shuttering - better money! Anyhow, I've been at it 32 years but shuttering is too hard nowadays, so I'm back to my origins! Been watching you to re-learn my trade! Got a Mafell tracksaw, trend router jigs etc and a stable of brushless cordless's! You've been a big help re-finding my roots! Thank you!
Ah, that’s great. I’ve seen those jigs in tool catalogues for years, never needed one but always wanted to see one in action. Love the no mark out jigs too!
Robin. I would be so excited to live in a house like yours. I don't know how you've kept your patience and not rushed. Your family must be so proud of you and your skills. I wish you all well for your future in this wonderful home. Stay safe and God bless.
Thanks Brian, and I do feel excited being here thanks for your kind words..
A perfect demonstration of the challenges of hanging and furnishing modern hardwood doors.
All the gear if its wood veneer.
Been using mine for years and years now perfect every time. It’s a great tool it’s been around for years, I’m shocked that a lot more people are not using them. Maybe it needed someone like you to advertise it for them.
Do the bits stay sharp long?
Thanks.
Every second of each video is a valuable second. Thank you for your great contribution to the construction community.
You are welcome Rafael
Roger read my mind regarding packing the jig on one side. I’m relieved that the room is a laundry after noticing the surface mounted piping. Thanks for another great video.
That pipework will be behind the utility sink. We just heard from Souber on our Facebook page and they have wider rods for the linings and also an offset option for the keep so they have it all covered.
Brilliant video lads, Robin is a joy to watch fantastic tradesman
Thank you Robin! I’ve had loads of those doors and handles to fit recently, great tip using those jugs! I will be adapting this thank you again and keep those quality vids coming.
Well done all round! Great video and excellent workmanship. Cheers.
Thanks for taking the time to do these videos Robin,
I have been fitting some replacement oak doors and found your tips including this one invaluable,
my friend, you're amazing, i'm a carpenter for 30 years i love what i do and i'm always learning from your videos, thanks for the videos
What a perfectionist! There's no other way.
Have you still got a video coming on the painting of the walls - weren't they going to be sprayed? Cheers
Extreme interesting. Thank you for teaching.
I've fitted hunders of these handles. The bane of my life!
Me too, getting the through screws to marry up is a nightmare.
Where was that battle Robin?
@@I-am-not-a-number it's easy, fit the handle into the lock with the handle facing down then pilot hole thru the screw holes, then put the handle on the correct way screws line up perfectly, this is such a long winded way of doing a simple job
First time I have come across your videos and have to say they are truly excellent. Having watched this video I now have the confidence to try fitting some locks using this jig.
Robin is an absolute Sensei.... He makes it look so easy.... I love his patience
Two pumps and a squirt 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 hilarious guys...
But in all seriousness Robin is a true master of his trade 👌
2 pumps and a squirt😂😂
robin loves to " jig ".
I asked my missus...'have u been talking to Robin Clevitt lately'.
Three things
1. Robin’s face was a picture when talking about his new ‘handy man’ drill. 😂
2. Roger, I would not have wanted to paint those doors either. Lovely oak. But understand why Robin wanted to
3. Lovely job!
Great work, you should be very proud.
Excellent video, thank you from a fellow Joiner (as we'd say more up north)
Great video again👍
Your house is looking amazing Robin. The doors are gorgeous. Remind me of something set designer Lawrence G. Paull would create (Bladerunner) The light oak looks great against that wall colour (FB Stoney ground?) Great vid chaps. I was thinking of the risk of wonky pilots on the jig too - thanks for pointing that out Roger. Brilliant. All the best.
I learnt a lot with this one, thanks, I loved you asked about the packer whilst I was saying it to go off centre
I’m pleased it’s not just me that has a ridiculous amount of gear out just for latches and handles and ends up with it all in my own way lol.
Love to see the final finish
Man you make things look easy .
A quality tradesman.nice to watch gives me confidence to have a go and take it easy no rushing about and fit my new doors
Thank you
Great Job Robin, my DBB Souber cutter is the first thing i put in the van, I use the Plunge cutter for latchs, perfect fit
Recently bought the trend jig myself. I’d like to give the souber one a go. Only downside with the trend all the templates are set and can’t be changed, with the souber jig you can adjust to your liking. Not a fan off corded drill but I suppose that’s what you need. Great work like always Robin. 👍🏽
with the jig 2 Souber morticer you can do hinges too and offset locks. The only thing I was concerned about is tearout as a router spins a lot faster than a drill, corded or otherwise.
Very cool and a good idea with the jig!!
"2 pumps, and a squirt" hahahahahahahahahah Beautiful workmanship, from start to finish.. You really are a Master Craftsmen...
Love the jig for the handle through bolts as they can be tricky if only slightly drilled different from either side.
Love watching your videos and on this particular subject I've made a few templates for various doors but I recently purchased a jigtech handle combination , got to say it's a game changer. Worth maybe doing a review of it. I timed handle latch and keep and it was 7 mins without really rushing. Really good quality gear but the options available wasn't many. Keep posting 😁
Thank you for explaining this. very helpful. Getting square and true holes throughout the mdf material. I bought brass tubing inserts from Amazon, very inexpensive, and inserted them into a jig.
I bought one of those souber kits last year when I had 30 concealed closers to put into hardwood doors. Great if you've got loads to. Not worth the setting up for one lock though. Still a great bit of kit.
thanks very much for the vids really appreciate your efforts
Very informative videos you guys do.
Just an FYI you can fit the DBB Morticer to door linings (before architraves are fitted) with the Offset Housing Kit attachment generally around £30.00
Make fitting dead locks & sash lock keeps so much easier, especially the big chunky ones with the metal housing fixed to the plate.
This guy knows his stuff quality workmanship
The DBB morticer is brilliant
Master Craftsman at work...respect 👏👏👏
you guys are amazing i come from Canada installations is totally different in UK good job guys thanks
Nice work.. The souber tool is great.. Reasonable price too.. Definitely on the list.
Proper lockdown haircut that Robin XD lovely stuff
This was filmed before Covid 19 we were still working on the 18th edition.
That tool is awesome Robin, fitting latches is always a ball ache.
That sober jig looks the bees knees. Easy to use too it seems. Great job Robin.
I got one a while back and at first a bit fiddly to get used to but when you do get used to it, a fantastic piece of kit.
thanks just bought the jig 🙏🏿
Thanks for the jig tip for marking the through bolts on the handles, that'll make me quicker and more accurate when I'm finalsing on site, why didn't I think of that.🤔
I have exactly the same tool but by Hafele, excellent for hanging commercial doors with commercial hardware. Highly recommend it.
We will look at that one.
Can’t beat the sober jig, I have two of them along with all the additional accessories.
It's not actually that brilliant. There are better. But it is good.
Plus, his name is Paul, not Peter!
@@NigelTolley can you please give an example of the better jig?
jim craig ctsironmongery.co.uk/product/virutex-fc116u-lock-morticer/
I've used once before find it far faster with just a drill, nice mdf jig for handle bolts 👍
@@Tom-hl7wc 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 £1200 you having a laugh
Anyone worried at 5:07 felt like Robin was going to whack his head on the bit there, great video
Yes Roger was fearful that if Robin poked his eye out he wouldn't have got the shot on camera.
Two pumps and a squirt killed me
It would do if you were ever on the receiving end
@@SkillBuilder elephant's breath :D
@@SkillBuilder haha bunch of rotters
Great video another master class from Robin. The door handle jig is a must for me now I like the simplicity of it and works every time. And Roger always knows the right question to ask. 👍
Do you have details of the handle jig?
Great jig. I alway use it even for just one lock. A few minutes sets it up and the mortice and plate is neat every time. Great video I don’t see many people using this jig on site though. (Ireland)
love the doors
Most door hardware comes with a paper template (or one that you can download). I make copies on a scanner then paste it onto MDF with spray contact cement. Follow directions on can for a light tack. Repeat as necessary for different hardware. It only takes a few minutes and prevents silly mistakes. I bought that Souber jig last year. Wonderful jig for cheap. It only cost me under $40 US. Most of the others were hundreds of dollars.
You've got the makings of a good wood stack there! Interesting comment about the pillar drill. Ever thought about having a workshop down there in the woods?
Andrew Wilson yeah I was thinking a garage/van tour would be cool but maybe he doesn't wana let potential thieves know what he has...
Also have the lock jig brilliant bits of kit and at a very good price.
I do love a jig ❤️ …. But that door clamp is another level 😍….. souber’s are great, had mine years 👍… great vid as usual
Elephants breath, my Mrs & me are always slagging this one... i think that green wall is called 'crickets scrotum' in F&B parlance :)
Yeah it's a sub variant of dog cock
I like the Dulux "Cornish Clay" Fabulous with a strong accent panel in an older building but really clean as is for new(er) place.
Robins attention to detail is 👌. love this guys work
I have the same one but there is a slight wobble with it to be aware of, lovely to work with overall and v fast but that wobble can wreck the finish, the wobble is when you move vertically which taints the finish of the face plates direct side line, with that said il still use mine tomorrow as I've learned to work with it and its still better than my usual method
Really love the sauber jig I use my dewalt 996 cordless with the 54v 9ah battery works great. Nice video
Got a Souber jig. I use it with a cheap mains drill. It's a useful tool, saves time. I've had mine a while now and it seems to have developed a bit of play in the shaft, so that would be my main criticism..
The bearing wears, that's just the way they work. They sell a new housing kit to allow you to replace them.
I use this jig with 16mm auger bit to install mortice locks.
Hello ⚘ thanks!
Iv'e used those Souber jigs and they really are very good once you get used to them. And as Robin said, cordless drills are just not up to the job and i to went out and brought a cheap as chips 240v drill to do the job. I actually find myself using that cheap drill quite a lot as they do spin so much faster. Oh, and if you do wear gloves when using a drill make sure they are in good nick with no frayed material hanging off.
I have the trend mortise jig I had it for years but now thinking I need to upgrade to this one. Robin is like the uk version of samurai carpenter
yes yes yes frist class job done there keep up the good work men
Robin next time you come across a pair of rebated french doors would love to see a tutorial on fitting a rebate kit.
Not sure if Matron had inserted an enema as Robins face was a peach when he said he bought a handyman drill 😉
I use the trend jig with a t11 router, although they say to have the router flat I have never had a problem using it with the doors in place. Well worth the investment.
Which model trend jig are you referring to please? Thanks
@@Chris-uu6dg I pretty sure it is just called the trend lock jig. That is the one I use the most. I also have the trend long lock jig as the name suggests it is for longer locks.
@@stephenmurray4916 Thanks mate!
the mortise jig i have, also has an arm that hooks on to the top of the door, so you set that too, and then you go from door to door and everyone is exactly the same height every time
Robin will make an excellent instructor someday. So thorough , nothing left to chance . Please don’t paint those lovely white oak doors . Red oak no problem paint away.
Nice
I use a Bosch 32v drill with the souber and have had no issues re speed. Just got to take your time.
doors look bang on fair play , nothing worse than the doors being in twist , do you use a plumb bob /string to bone in your double frames cross over method ?
Robin.... When you set the depth of the latch, push the stop to the face plate. I've been using these jigs for years. Good bits of kit. Especially as when you get to our age, the eyes ain't as good. 👍
Really like my souber. Had it for years , just after Paul bought the original invention
Robin is a proper craftsman, not like the joiner that recently put doors in my house using only a combi drill, impact driver and a couple of screws... brilliant Robin!!!
Nothing necessarily wrong with that, if you use the equipment properly.
@@planespeaking fair enough... but this particular 'joiner' made a mess of it
i always fit the the locks into the doors while im routing out the hinges, that way you dont have to move all your tools round the house to fit the locks into every door. only works if the doors dont need to be planed to fit
I like those lock sets ,they take a smaller hole in the door than the junk we use here in the U.S.
Could the tube mortice be done carefully with a wood drill bit and 3 vertical overlapping holes?
Great video as always how did you make the jig
Great video as always, Robin big respect to the skills you have, I have tried JIGTECH recently and works fine
We have a video on Jigtech
Do you need an apprentice robin ? Love to learn from you!😎
loving your videos Roger/Robin when are we going to get some VR videos ?
Lovely work! I’m curious though, couldn’t you use the palm router onto the end of that instead of the drill?
the way i allow the extra depth is to cut out the face plate first then allow the depth of the face plate again when setting the depth stop
Hi robin
What size are your skirtings and architraves and what wood is it, looks like mdf. Are you using a ball nose with square back on the door side for your door stops too ?
Hi Robin, I've bought one of those Souber jigs and I simply cannot get it to line up true with the door. As soon as I tighten clamps the whole thing goes out of true and cuts wonky. I've tried having clamps just nipped up or nice and tight, no luck. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
Thanks Mark
Robin, i thought i'd let you know that the Metabo BE 18 LTX 6 cordless drill and the Metabo SB 18 LTX-3 BL Q I cordless combi drill can both drill well over 3000rpm. No cords needed although pressing down the right amount to get 3000rpm might take some practice.
