I work for a timber frame company on the isle of wight using big panel saws for cutting down the osb and large purpose built workbenches. its a nice insight on how you set up to make them on site, top work as always
There is something very theraputic about watching someone working who's so well organised! Got to love a battery only nail gun, no nonsense gas ! I see your regular (manual) hammer is of the XL variety, for special occasions ! Lol. Hoping the weather stays good for you. Cheers. PS the battery leaf blower very handy for blowing dust out of the back of the van too, who needs a vacuum cleaner !
I love when you work with sheet materials and always make a point of using the factory edges to your advantage due to them being 100 true and straight… until I started watching your videos a good few years ago I was always under the impression that the boards were not perfectly square etc… it has now become apparent that this is a good excuse used by all the old boys that taught me and weren’t perhaps as good as they’d like to be 😂
Evening Robin,another excellent video showing how a simple set up can give so much accuracy 👍. Just wondering what you think about factory edges,you said you use the edge because it’s straight but I’ve had situations,especially with MDF where the factory edge isn’t quite straight so I’ve cut 5mm off to start with. I know Cutwrights do this too,I think you use them. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts👍.
At 10:24 you drop something inside the box. I checked and you didn't remove it before putting the last sheet on it. I think it's a clip from the nails, but part of me hopes it was your pencil because it would be too funny.
You annoy me. You’re so good at what you do! 😂😂 What about this for an idea? You should visit the USA and go and help Perkins Builder Brothers build a house! It’d be so interesting with what you could both likely teach each other?!
Would you ever thought of subcontracting out the making of the panels to a timber frame manufacturer or woukd that have eaten too much into your profit?
You never fail to impress me Robin, it's so nice to see a top craftsman at work - thank you.
Absolute joy to watch Robin. Looking forward to the progress. Cheers 🍻
I love the way in which you plan your work by making these simple jigs/templates. Thats a mark of a professional craftsman.

Thanks so much, Robin. It's a real joy and a privilege to watch you work. Your simplicity is personified through years of top-notch experience.
I do this all day, every day, then I come home to watch you do it! This is a nice contract to get stuck into, its going to look great.
I look forward to seeing Ed back with you as a team.
Top man Robin, passing these skills on to others.

Just another masterclass from a wizard
Working to a system....I love your methodology!
Hi Robin, I wish you and your family and your workers a very happy Christmas. From Ianwood ❤️❤️🎄🎄
So good
Well that answers a question I was going to ask of "where is Ed"? Will be good to see the dream team again.
Great work mate 👍🏻
Great stuff
Love the way you go about setting things up, would like to to the drawing of the garage what your building thanks
Eds a lucky guy learning from you.
Is he doing a apprenticeship through you???
Can you make a tool belt video and some of your previous tool belts you’ve owned 👍🏽
❤video great thanks you 😊😊
Thanks for watching!
Do you use ring shank nails and do you ever use dovetail nailing. Thanks, learning lot from you Topman.

I’d say trim them off for carpentry/cabinet work, but for anything construction style definitely a waste of time after watching how Robin works.
Hi Robin
Great video
Can I please ask why you’re using 18mm OSB for sheathing? Timber framed houses are using 11 or even 9mm OSB as you know
Maybe because he’s got oak going onto the top of it.
Think a fire with ofcuts would be a good idea robin

What shear force strength do the fixings need to have?

why did they end up with those stacked joints on the brick work at the top?
When you use the rail saw, i notice you just placed them on th osb board, what held them in place and stopped them fro sliding about
They have a couple of rubber strips on the back that stop them sliding around
How do you make sure the factory edges are true because I’ve had stuff that wasn’t
👍🏻

Ed had to have his tool belt surgically removed..
£40 per box of nails, tell they were over priced into into the job😂
