I like to watch the 'boring' stuff. I'm not a carpenter so I like any tips but I like to watch something being built its interesting. I also like the fact you're precise.
Love your videos Robin, so precise and detailed, very interesting and captivating to watch , thanks for taking the time out to video, which in itself is a task.
Hi Robin, I have just installed corrugated on my new workshop space quite a task on my own as they are quite heavy for these old arms now, but all on in spite of the wind, I do like the screws they use now instead of the old twisted nails a lot easier I think. As always what your doing looks great and good to see a building re-cycled thanks again for your continues sharing.
Nice to see, 'big green', doing some ripping.🤩 Hanging onto those big saws is like wrangling a wild stallion!🤠 (my big yellow one is out on parole tomorrow for some 8" timber half laps😣). Great video as usual.
would be great to see a video of how you do a build like this with no access to the rear wall, like a shed build up against a wall or boundary line. I'm guessing just pre assembling your walls and even go so far as to wrap and clad them before standing them up but would be good to see a pro's approach from someone like you Robin.
Watched majority, well all of your Vids Robin. Absolutely love it, only one thing I think of top of my head not seen you fit and that’s a flight of stairs. Maybe a new video?? Hope all is well.
Nice build Robin! Quick question as conveniently I am looking to use those sheets on an outdoor shed of mine. I was told they condensate a lot, and I didn't want water dripping on the bits inside. I presume you are relying on the membrane over the OSB to deal with the condensate? I had assumed you'd need to batten between the membrane and the metal sheeting - very happy if I don't need to though.
I have the same question, back wall of a garden room, out of site is getting metal sheets for wall cladding. Already sheathed in OSB3 and wrapped in Tyvek Housewrap. Was going to batten but then saw your video. What's the general consensus... 🤔
I fit all types of industrial roofing and would suggest two things Use a batten so there is more airflow as I have seen these sheets rot From the inside out with little visible signs until too late Secondly. Use colour matched screws They are moulded heads so stay on forever
Hi Robin I'm cladding a back panel of a garden building in metal sheeting as it wont be seen .would you fasten direct to the osb or still batten it off to give some air flow ?
I think Robin made a mistake attaching the sheeting directly on top of the OSB. The sheeting will condensate and soak through the membrane and onto the OSB, he should’ve put battens between the OSB and the sheeting to allow for airflow. What do you think?
@@Tomherbs last lot of tin cladding I bought had a thin layer of webbing on back supposed to stop it condensing. Company said fix direct osb but I'm not sure ?
@@jharris7407 I seen an article online where a guy screwed the sheeting on top of the breathable membrane and osb like Robin did, because air couldn't get underneath the metal sheeting, the condensation soaked right through the membrane and onto the sob. He had to put battens between the osb and sheeting to allow air flow.
Now you mention it... odd yes! I'd say they are some kind of lap-joint. Let's hope they didn't cut FULLY through each stud! He mentioned it was a factory "kit" type shed. The studs themselves might only be cut in like 19-38mm, the rest cut out of the brace, they just have jigs set up to make this easy and fast and fool-proof to assemble?
Hi Robin, I have fitted a epdm rubber roof with kerb and drip trims attached to osb3 t&g roof. I have some small leaks/damp apearing in the joints from the inside. I think there may be very small pin holes on the epdm(bearly visable). Can I coat epdm with a product to stop the leak? Thank you.
I see you change often between Hikoki, Metabo and Milwaukee. What do you think about Metabo as a carpenter? Also, do you think a few more trusses would have done the job with creating a sufficient roof structure? How much have you worked on steel-roofs, and do you have some insight with steel-roof fasteners and how to prevent them from working themselves loose?
hey Robin,i do enjoy your video's,i think you are very laid back in explaining and i love that,it makes understanding the why.. much easier;just wondering why the metal roof panels are screwed in the low spot,i was always told to take the high spot to keep water out,just wondering,i do not want to bash on anybody,keep up the good work mate
Hi David, I was also surprised when I purchased this system!!! but the washers are designed to keep the water out!! unlike the old corrugated materials that where super rigid this material would simply bend if you had no support under the trapezoidal section!!, great observation and enquiry!! top of the class for you tonight!!
@@ukconstruction hey mate,thanks for responding so quick,i live in Belgium,and i've always been told even with the washers you put them on the top ridge,that's why i ask,not to bash or anything,i really like to learn about things,especially from a proffessional like yourself,keep up the good work,i love it :-),and i will defenitly keep watching your video's
What saw blades and where do you buy for your circular saws? I've heard there are some out there which don't get knocked out by a nail but I haven't come across those yet.
I have tried every blade known to man!! I reckon that most will have a problem hitting a nail or metal, there are some blades that will do wood with nails such as rage evolution, I just try to avoid nails!!!
I've found the Dewalt blades really good for my cordless (Bosch) saw. I've cut so much with my current blade, from old railway sleepers to fence rails, old wet 18mm ply, countless 4x2s, and it still cuts something like a veneered kitchen end panel with no chipping out. (Although doing that kind of work I would test a scrap piece first and cut on the hidden side.) 😀
Hi Robin, great video as always. What gauge was the osb that you fixed? When fixing the steel sheets, do you fix to the osb or do you aim for the purlins ? Thank you.
You always want to be fixing to a purlin. Most metal roof sheeting manufacturers I've seen recommend a 25-35mm penetration of the fixing screw, depending on the spacing, wood type and potential wind conditions. Screwing into OSB is not much better than screwing into a bit of drywall - might as well glue it down with a glu-stik and a couple of bricks on top! I've used 19mm purlins where I know I was screwing a few mm into the plywood on the other side, but I also used a LOT of screws...
@@ukconstruction Oh, I see. I am practicing my rip cuts with my circular saw. I need improvement. I have a Rigid. But, I really want a worm drive. I enjoy corded tools. But it seems the world and tradesman are going cordless, and I don’t want both. I want either corded or cordless as I could use the money for batteries instead of having corded tools and vice versa. I must say it takes me awhile to watch your hips, and rafter content as it’s all foreign to me, but I enjoy it. It have to rewind your videos a lot to try and grasp what you are doing. You pull out your square and then suddenly there are lines all over the board and you are cutting, and I am like, “what just happened?” Thanks for replying.
Surprised to see you using Metabo. I changed from Makita to Metabo 18 months ago, and much prefer them, I'm just waiting to see what the reliability is like. I've just bought an 18v circular saw which is compatible with a guide rail, which seems to be unique to Metabo. I wonder if you or Roger could do a review? Great videos btw👍
I'm having my 11:00 am break with RC. U still move like a Ninja. A small holding is about what size in acreage? I'm blessed with 2/3 of an acre in the San Fernando Valley. And moving, working keeps us young. I live near a hill with 2000 feet elevation gain. At 71, I let the lithium ion do about 70% of the work. But 30% will cure what ails u. I would enjoy listening to u unloading your Merc. So don't spare us what u might think is not interesting. What projects r not finished on your "holding?" And what r the plans? Thank u!!!!
Hey mate , I don’t know ya filming schedule and all, and I know ya need to get the job done but just wanna say, you mentioned some parts aren’t interesting to show, even though I been building 20 years , I still like to watch how you do everything, and I guess so do the ppl watching that have no experience, just my opinion........sometimes I wanna film what I’m working on but think, no one will watch it , it’s boring hahaha it’s boring parts of the build to us I suppose
@Wilkinson Carpentry.Wilky, I agree I'm 73 and been on the tools all my life (carpenter), but I still find stuff interesting. And I still learn new ways of doing things.
Alright Robin 👍 maybe this is random - but ever have physio due to work wear & tear? Just putting it out there as good advice to people, as I had some 2day on my back, & I'd HIGHLY recommend it, in the hope it may help some.
With nearly 52K subs i think he’s doing something right, Robin does do in-depth vids this just happens to be not one of them. Check out his other stuff, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did and you may even learn something new.
@@rossolancer I did used to enjoy his videos and agree you can learn from him, but I am beginning to feel that now he has a lot of loyal viewers and his own radio show and selling tools on Amazon, his heart is no longer in this channel. Just expressing my opinion and it seems some others agree from the comments.
When your stable is built better than most of the UK's housing stock... Amazing work as always.
I like to watch the 'boring' stuff. I'm not a carpenter so I like any tips but I like to watch something being built its interesting. I also like the fact you're precise.

lovely job. I have an even worse shed, in much worse condition. I should start a crowd fund
Thanks for sharing your projects.
Lovely job Robin. Thanks for the video - enjoy your beers this weekend 👍🏻
Great video Robbin ! thanks
Lovely job Robin!
That’s a nice stable stable 👍
Class job. I hope we get to see the final finished job, I'm really curious to see the detailing on the cladding to the ground. 👍🏻
Love the show on fix robin great content on all platforms
As I've said before Robin, I do enjoy watching you work. Its like poetry in motion 😂
wow Robin!!! your channel is gonna pop off soooooo fast. stellar job always
nice recycling job
Hope you enjoyed the beers. Looks like you earned them...! Cheers!!
Enjoy the weekend 👋🍀🇮🇪👍
Loving the Star Wars "pew pew" noises from the nail gun 🤣
The colour match caps, found on the floor and in the gutter on all metal clad and roofed buildings today.

Time for a beer. Looks great.
Cracking vlog Rob. On to the next build 💪🏼
Hi Robin , bin following your channel and skillbuilder for a good while now , great work as always , coming from a fellow carpenter. Cheers mate👍

That’s exactly how it’s done. 👍
That would be great. I'm planning on doing a garden room this year, and want to build right up to the boundary 👍
Just knew it would be perfect. So When's the client moving in date? Because obviously with the quality of this they'll be living in there 👍🛠️👍
yip very similar over here (new Zealand) rain, wind sun all day haha
Watched majority, well all of your Vids Robin. Absolutely love it, only one thing I think of top of my head not seen you fit and that’s a flight of stairs. Maybe a new video?? Hope all is well.
He has a stair fitting video on skill builder I think! One of the first videos I saw of robin it’s a great video

Personally i'd batten out the roof on top of the membrane then fix the roof sheets to the battens.
@@Toyotaamazon80series That's what I'm leaning towards - but it's not like Robin to overlook something like this, so curious to hear his reasoning.
@@tombowyer4141 Indeed, you could e-mail him.
I fit all types of industrial roofing and would suggest two things
Use a batten so there is more airflow as I have seen these sheets rot From the inside out with little visible signs until too late
Secondly. Use colour matched screws
They are moulded heads so stay on forever
That cable car fell a long way!

Hi Robin , what’s the metal shear ? Does it attach to a standard drill collar ?
4:11 No gloves. Brave man. I’m still sporting last weeks splinters 😂
2:41 I've never see braces "let-in" like that. More like cut-through. Can anyone tell me about this technique?
