Great job Robin. Working with big sections of green structural oak is always a real treat. That frame is going to look epic supporting that section of roof😎
Thanks Robin had a friend purchased your hinge jig and send them to Australia hope to receive in two weeks, love the video each week look forward to the next I learn so much Thanks
I personally am not a Carpenter, but I just wondered do you think of ‘Draw-Boring’ those morticed joints? Great videos, lots to learn, by simply, watching!
Looking good it will be a lovely feature of the house. Hard to beat working with English Oak. The Eucalypt species I work with here are totally different. Anything you try to do with them seems hard often because they are just that hard. I have finally got some wood to start my build just in time with the wet season. Every day cut short so far by massive storms. Budget all blown out and basically working for nothing but better than sitting on my bum at home. Just watched Chippie chat and see you are all in the dry now. Wish I was. You have a good one there in Ed.
Hello Robin, Great precision, perfect and best performance on framing. Thank you for sharing your best tips. My prayers and God bless you with very long life so we can learn from your experiences. Best regards, Ahmed, Leicester ENGLAND
Lovely work Robin, I did this on a smaller scale with a palm router and I made an offset block that I just held in place so my stopped chamfers would terminate 4" from the end of my piece. I also chiseled the curved in flat and gave the chamfers a few strokes with the block plane so they look less machined.
Brilliant stuff - that Oak !! :-) ..... Used to sub for a local Builders for Years .... Their Logo was the Oak Tree and every site was called 'Oak ...... ???' ..... It went from Strength - To -Strength and still growing today :-)
I am enjoying your videos. I have a question though. Retired from an architectural office I am curious as to the manufacturer of that joist that you are using as a platform.
Hi, am I right in thinking your top beam is not square? The posts are 150x150, what is the top beam please? Thanks again, these videos are so helpful!!!
Just starting my first timber framed project, and I'm finding your videos invaluable. Purchased my first router specifically to replicate this feature on my posts and beams. Please post as much as you can about each stage. Would also love to see you cut a large mortice using alternatives to the chain mortiser. Please would you do that? Thanks again Robin!
I've now copied your chamfering technique on my project and it's worked fine for me: thanks! Couldn't help noticing that wherever you dwelled with the router it immediately burned leaving a mark. Is that almost unavoidable with Oak? My project was in Douglas Fir which I assume is a little more forgiving?
@@ukconstruction awesome. Is that baby ready for market and does it come with an instruction booklet? Where is it being manufactured? Thank you! Also, I so appreciate your skill set and the fact that you share your knowledge. Thanks for making me a better carpenter
Some of the oak is harder and drier than the next bit so you sometimes will experience some burning, also I was using the saw pretty continuously until I finished that section of works!!
@@boschboyblue5500 yeah, I think that’s most likely what it is. I noticed it in his last video. Was worried at first that the blade had been clamped to the arbour off-centre.
Hi Robin, great video as always. I noticed you were singing the praises of a cordless chopsaw v corded recently. Any reason why you are still sticking to corded plunge saw? I have the Makita battery plunge saw and its sublime and so convenient too.
It is what I have, I only have this corded TS55 rail saw and its nearly 20yrs old!! also the until recently there was no half inch cordless router available
I'm going to throw a bouquet at myself here - I sharpened my Marples ( with a P yes ) tother day & I actually surprised myself how sharp they were... Just wanted to share that 😜😁
I often get a nose bleed when I’m working with oak due to breathing in the acidic dust. It’s a good idea to wear a mask. Also never leave any sawdust around overnight it stains if it gets damp:-(
@@LeeTillbury If there is any mechanical joint then its a fair shout - its traditional and I would not expect corners to be cut i.e. a bloody great screw or two.
Came to say the same. I’m a steel fabricator who mostly works on my own. “Just” flipping some things over can turn into a logistical nightmare. A block n tackle on a sky hook would have helped no end!
Always strikes me as odd that , when joiners put braces that close together , it doesn't visually look right to me , because structurally you wouldn't need them on a span that short .Maybe for cosmetic reasons I guess.
Depends on the roof load and wind variables. Where I am a nominal thru beam (timber) w/ full bearing on it has to be 8x12 (fir). If the span is greater than 12-14' than it can go upto 10x16. The only way to decrease the size of the intended beam is by increasing load bearing points. Therefore more posts. Cosmetically it looks funny to have beams and posts not fall within the 1/3 or 30% ratio (golden ratio).
Remember if you do a job you love your never have to do a days work 😍

Thanks 👍
Brilliant, works a charm!
Great job.
4:57: Andy wants to get some boots and trousers on! Didnt stop it being a lovely job though 😊 👍👍
It’s like poetry in motion. Such a craftsman. Beautiful work.
Wow, thank you!
Thanks Robin had a friend purchased your hinge jig and send them to Australia hope to receive in two weeks, love the video each week look forward to the next I learn so much Thanks
hate to say this but auzzy border patrol dont allow foreign timber across their borders
Brilliant video Robin

Nice work....
It is all coming along very nicely and the end result in every part is still a credit to your excellence and professionalism 👍
Thank you so much 😀

Thank you very much!
Praying, that's sitting quietly and thinking to yourself, how very pointless !
@@thetessellater9163 pretty much everything around you came about from someone sitting there quietly and thinking to themselves.
The luxury of Andy and his jcb hands
It's all going together like a giant jigsaw puzzle... Really enjoyed watching! 🤩
Thank you 🤗
5 minutes of me listening to a router at full volume with my wife shouting through from the other room "turn that bloody noise off"! 😂😂
What a stunning feature

Do they do medals for this sort of thing?
My boss doesn't give me any!@@feolender2938
Very nice Robin. Looks great!
Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks Robin-interesting to see
Boss job lad 👍🏻, loved workin with oak when I was on the tools, project managing now
in other words you were shit on the tools?
Great advice and demonstration!, Robin.
Thanks Shaun
Like all jobs - easy when you know how. You are definately a Festool fan.
Yes Eric, I am a Fan of festool hard not to be!!!
Nice bit of work wonder if you apply any oil finish or just leave it natural 🤗☘️🇮🇪🤟

Hi, am I right in thinking your top beam is not square? The posts are 150x150, what is the top beam please? Thanks again, these videos are so helpful!!!
The top beam is 225 x 150 from memory
brilliant thanks Robin!
Like the new intro/logo 👌🏻
Thanks Chris!! someone kindly made that for me!! and I didn't even ask for it!!

beautiful Robin. Nice to have the frame a bit higher hurts your back a bit when it's low, or is it just me. great work and great idea too.👍
What's with the nice framing square with your cool logo on it?
Hi Tim, this is my new simplified metric roof Framing Square that I have been developing more video coming soon on this very square
@@ukconstruction awesome. Is that baby ready for market and does it come with an instruction booklet? Where is it being manufactured? Thank you! Also, I so appreciate your skill set and the fact that you share your knowledge. Thanks for making me a better carpenter
I noticed that. Looks very nice. Could be the timber version of Fireball Tool for steel fabricators.
Direct like from România
ok, i'm going to ask the obvious question, how come the track saw has left burn marks on the timber?
thanks
Some of the oak is harder and drier than the next bit so you sometimes will experience some burning, also I was using the saw pretty continuously until I finished that section of works!!
would love to have you as a customer
Thank you
Exactly what I needed to see 😃
What is that squiggly thing protruding from the tool?
Oh that!! That's a chord!! Yes Bill I still have old technology!!
(1:08) - Why does the table saw blade seem to spin weird like that. Is it just on camera?
I think its just yellow paint on the blade has worn at different depths and a flicker of the blades teeth
@@boschboyblue5500 yeah, I think that’s most likely what it is. I noticed it in his last video. Was worried at first that the blade had been clamped to the arbour off-centre.

Yes mate well done!!
Nice
Thanks
Will be using pegs at the joints?
I often get a nose bleed when I’m working with oak due to breathing in the acidic dust.
It’s a good idea to wear a mask.
Also never leave any sawdust around overnight it stains if it gets damp:-(
I often get a headache listening to self righteous pillocks. Isn't it about time for you to have another covid jab?
Musical introduction is a bit highbrow, but I think it matches the standard of joinery!
How did you attach the mortise and tenons together?
Oak pegs and draw bore.
@@Maxtrialsuk Says who?
@@LeeTillbury If there is any mechanical joint then its a fair shout - its traditional and I would not expect corners to be cut i.e. a bloody great screw or two.
If only we had smellovision, not Robin obviously, the oak
The exception for that is mahogany! But it is good camouflage if you're suffering from wind!
Mmmmmm amen
I use western red cedar now and then and that smells so good.
"Just a matter of flipping the frame over now..." Can you manage that on your own Robin, or do you get someone to help?
im sure the friendly giants stepped in to help, or he took it apart
Came to say the same. I’m a steel fabricator who mostly works on my own. “Just” flipping some things over can turn into a logistical nightmare. A block n tackle on a sky hook would have helped no end!

Gas the month we are in and we are still all out in our t shirts
15 mins of routing the same thing was a thrill. Cheers

Hi Robin, another awesome bit of wood porn lol🤗🤭😇🥰
Robin have you fell out with Roger tell the truth!
still i can t understand why the fuck you make it like 5 story house,its too much for the house
