The Big Build 28. Dormer Construction supporting rafters and trimmers

- In this episode we are forming the Structural Dormer roof trimming
I am taking Ed through the structural dormer roof trimming and we do this by cutting all the rafters from a simple template rafter and using this to set everything out, its much quicker and more accurate this way
This is the support for the Dormer construction
I hope you enjoy!!

It should be illegal for all builders to not care as much as you Robin. Ed, you're learning from one of the best I've ever seen. Treasure this moment in your career.
On that note... I bet tradesmen the world over wish they had apprentices of Ed's caliber. He is an awesome student and it shows in the way that he and Robin get things done with minimal fuss.
I think by the end of this build we are all going to be better carpenters
Even me Tony!!
The Master and his Apprentice!
Excellent tips there Robin. I have gotten all of my students to follow the big build, they are loving it. We are even making your saw horse in the workshop. Keep it up Robin.
Nice one David!! Honoured mate, say hi to the students
Credit to you David all carpenters should know how to make a saw horse, but the sad fact is depending on who they get working for, they might just want there work completed especially if there unlucky enough to be working with agencies that contracts them out. Far to common nowadays.
Beautiful mentoring Robin. A kind teacher 👍. Reminds me of the gent who taught me what I know. Brain the size of a planet super intelligent patient and most importantly kind with it.
I'm sure our (shonky) Cape Cod is built just like that - ahhh sacred geometry!! Fascinating watch, Robin we are learning so much - now my hubby just needs to find some time!! Thanks & to whoever does the filming, really does a nice job.
Dormer window kit I used to call them. Work out one and keep patterns of everything to build the rest. You should build an eyebrow dormer to show how that is done. Then show the tiling of it with all the guage changes to create the curve. Balcony dormer with lead dressed deck frontage. Or a Cupola with a weathervane. So many interesting things you can do with a roof. Or you can put up trusses and get bored.
Hello Robin,
Fantastic...
Practice makes perfect.
Years of experience makes job easy and saves a lot of time. I love your template method. When I use template method I was told measure twice before fixing. Now I see you that reminds my technique.
I love your work with precision and I like to follow the same way.
Every video teaches me something new.
Ed is very lucky to learn skills, gain knowledge, and tips of the trade.
God bless you and your family.
Best wishes from Leicester ENGLAND.

watching you teach and guide a young lad who may someday pass on his knowledge wicked stuff mate
Although I wouldn't and couldn't build something like that. The tips and tricks even help me with things I need to do around the house as a DIY. Amazing stuff 👍🏼
Attention to detail and accuracy, if a jobs worth doing it’s worth doing 100%! Great video Robin.
Thanks 👍
Great videos Robin. Your apprentices are lucky guys. Love the intro as well, reminds me of the Waiting Man by King Crimson.
A tremendous joiner, should be compulsory viewing in colleges all over the country. Yourself, The Tall Carpenter,Gid joiner,A&E, and Daniel Cox,top joiners who share their experience and skills, and joiners never stop learning, watching guys like you and the others is invaluable to young joiners, and apprentices should be watching all of these joiners .
Carpenters? 😉🤣
Complusary viewing 👍🔨🇮🇪
@@barryford7135 Hammerjockeys?
I see who needs a scaffold and who doesn't!!!!!!
That gives even a complete numpty like me the confidence to do a dormer as been shown correctly
What a pleasure and privilege to watch RC. Can’t get enough of this roof stuff 👌🏻
Thanks Chris!!
Cracking job as usual guys.
Im not a roofer but there is nothing better looking than a roof taking shape. especally when its done right.
That's the essence of a skilled
Person to pass on his or her skill to others while making it look simple and easy.
Awesome Robin, you are an apprentice dream. Sharing knowledge to people wanting to learn is invaluable
Lllllllllllllll
Lllllllllll
Hi Robin, one thing i have noticed in your videos is how you treat and talk to your team, you are an inspiration to learning.
So jealous of your skills robin 1CLASS workmanship all the way feel like askin if its ok to see if you can teach this old dog some new tricks lol lovin this job
This channel goes from strength to strength. Great detail and a very skilled team. Thanks for sharing.
Ring
Bang on chippy.
Thanks Robin, This was what I was looking for. I am going to be building two gable dormers on our home. You are a excellent carpenter and craftsman and a great teacher.
Glad you enjoyed it Emmanuel, have a great week
I will never build a roof but I could watch you build one for hours. Lovely work
What a great opportunity the apprentice has here working with you Robin. If only I got that chance 20 years ago!! Its such a shame more young lads don't want to actually learn a craft these days. Good on you being such a awesome teacher👌
Can’t wait to see rest of the dormer construction
These young lads do not realise what experience they are gaining.
The precision is incredible. Great video
Lovely 👍😎
Great job Robin, Another simplified way of doing a Dormer... I learnt that same method from my Father..The rod method is the best it keeps the Geometry all the same, love watching the series...👍
Great work as always Robin.
Another brilliant video
Lovely job. 👍
Good advice Robin 👌
As I always try to teach people it's all about the prep 👍 if it's 100% the jobs a goodun 👍👍great vid as always Robin 👏👏👏👏
Meticulous attention to detail, great to see you passing your skills on to the next generation too. Awesome work
Robin clevett your a diamond. I use the rod system. It's easy to make a mistake on a measuring tape. Brilliant videos. I love the big build. 👌
nice to see patterns being used they are ultra accurate and make building anything big and repetitive, easy.
Infilling is awesome Robin👊 All that prep work really starts to pay off 🤩
Great stuff robin
Big ups for a bang up job, these gentlemen show how it's done with timeless craft at its finest. I can't think of a better and more satisfying way to get a complex structure right than working with this kind of templates and jigs. In my mind I call them the master parts - reference parts and mockups with the right proportions and angles that everything else gets measured by. Also well done one the staged nailing - first get everything set up right with some minimal placeholders, and then fixate it all together. Now my hands itch to get to building stuff.
Another great video, as a new apprentice myself seeing how other carpenters/apprentices work is invaluable to my own learning, cheers
👍great video. Perfection! The pace & level of detail in this video is just right, letting the geometry do the work!
Great video,thanks !!!!
It is easy when you no what you are doing.
If that young lad follows in your footsteps he`ll be a top notch chippy
Brilliant video Robin , you have so much experience in this type of work you make it look simple although I know it takes a lot of skill to work it all out .
I’m still off work with my shoulder so look forward to these videos.
Thank you! Cheers! Hope that shoulder gets better soon mate!!
Templates and story poles! Love it
Being the detail freak I am, wow! This is purely enjoyable watching and learning. I'm guessing you erected the roof over your house?? Awesome idea.
Hi Jeff, thanks for your comment!! I did my house without a cover as there was nothing to get damaged by the weather thankfully!!!
once again, all that pre work is coming good
I wanna live where you live !!! It’s still sunny and the leaves are still in the trees 😂
Thanks a bundle appreciated
You're welcome!
@@ukconstruction Its a pleasure to learn
Hi Robin, great video. Can you please advise on the nail used to fix the rafters, is it a 90mm Galvanised smooth shank or should you use a ring shank for roof construction ?
Hey Robin every time you say Rod stick a picture of Rod Stewart in the caption😜.... but on a serious note will you show us how you or what you use to water proof the dormer.
Great video Robin ,The template works a treat every time . Question ... would you not sheet the outside of the dwarf wall with OSB or exterior ply before you put your lower rafters in place
Hi Robin, How do you connect multiple rafters together please? What bolts or screws do you use for connecting rafters to make a triple ply rafter to support the dormer cheeks? Thanks
I wonder how many supervisors would explain to an apprentice how and why something is done a certain way?
It's hard tho. Most of the younger lads are stroppy little shits that don't like being told what to do.
Not sure why the dormer wall is poking out above the rafters? Maybe I missed something? But I'm sure it will become obvious as the build progresses. Flashing maybe??
Lol, the advertiser used exactly the same royalty free music as you did.
Don't know if you were affected by storm arwen but did your scaffold temp roof hold out?
Fortunately we have removed it before the storm!!
What tolerance do you reckon your cutting to +/- 2 ? On longer runs?
+/- 0mm here !
Cant have - 0mm. Doesn't exist.
It’s being ‘fitted’ in reverse after prepping ‘forward’ & letting the ‘geometry’ do the work. Classic 👏👏 hence +/- 0!!
7:35 when that lad grows up he said he wants to be a set of ladders 😁😁
What nail gun is better hikoke or Milwaukee?
Both good products I have no preference except the milwaukee is slightly more compact, both similar power and weight
Templet
And all the rest of it
Cant beat a good Simon Templet
Super skill ! What's with the "templett" - "temPLATE" surely, or is that a regional dialect thing??
Yep, accent.
