A very confident young man, with great instructional skills too. After his final week of college, I reckon he could step right into a college lecturer role. I’ve no doubt that Elliot can and will go far. Good luck Elliot and total respect.
It is good to go out on site for a few years to pick up some experience
At the rate this kid is going i think he will be making too much money to be a college lecturer. Good luck to him he's got skills
Yeah you have to admire his confidence. I cant draw a straight line with a ruler, i have zero DIY skills but i really appreciate the skills that others have.
I read the entire Ryan’s ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans and was able to make a shed plan. Using Ryan’s Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is great. Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan’s Shed Plans.
A craftsman.
This video shows what is wrong with the UK today. We have no respect for the working classes because we have no respect for work itself.
I can imagine no greater satisfaction and pride than building that model, and even better, a real roof. We marvel at the care the kid takes as he draws each line knowing that the whole is, at least, the sum of the parts. A degree or two out in one corner will metastasize itself throughout the whole structure.
Every man, every day, should leave work with a feeling of dignity. That's all that matters. But we have lost all sight of craft these days - above all those that have never picked up a tool but live in a world built for them using those tools.
Sadly I don't see a path back.
The next generation💪🏻💪🏻 so refreshing to see the old technologies still being taught
I mean you're not going to get very far without geometry/symmetry in joinery. There's no other way👍
My late father was a joiner who did a seven year apprenticeship starting at age 15 when he left school,he always said chippys have it easy now with roof rafters already made and delivered to site,we just had timber and a drawing and built the roof on site,and always flew a union jack flag when the roof timber work was completed,he would have loved seeing this young lad
Very well done Eliot.
🙌🏻
And SB for filming it.
As a bricklayer I’ve always been interested in the complete build of a trad house. Roofs are mind boggling if done right
Fair play to the lad put the time in and got the results great stuff kid👊
This video gives me hope and faith in the future in some of the current generation. Well done Elliot, you’ll go far.
First Class this young man. Another Robin Clevett in the making.
Elliott is a natural teacher
You explain this better and more in depth than my lecturers did 16 years ago. I was lucky i had an old school mentor on site.
Brilliant, really enjoyed that, hats off to the young lad, great attitude, hopefully you'll go far, good luck to you.
Brilliant video and I wish you all the best for the future Elliott 👍
Aside from running his own business, I'd say he's definitely got a future in Teaching/Lecturing - Brilliant, clear and concise delivery!
Total respect to this young man. Hopefully others will follow his lead. Bravo!
Well done Elliott, my memories came flooding back from doing this back in the late 80s for my city and guilds advanced craft, those drawings hes doing I've still got in folders in seperate stages and shading in the saw cut lines for correct angle.
Brilliant to see a young man with a bright future. Looks like he had a good tutor. Best of luck.
Quality video. Great to see the workings for these projects
Well done once again Elliott. Not only have you shown that you have the practical skills, but also shown an understanding of how it all works. These attributes along with the great enthusiasm shown, all adds up to a great student with great prospects. Keep it up.
This is how I got taught,old ways the best,and so great to see a young enthusiastic man in this trade,I’d employ this kid tomorrow,great understanding and knowledge at such an early age,kids got a bright future 👍
What a bright young man wish him well he should go far, clear talking would make a good teacher of his subject, well done.
I did my apprenticeship in mechanics nearly 50 years ago now. I also went back to college when I retired and did my electrical qualifications. I didn't see anyone there like Elliot so it is very refreshing to see this. Well done young man and I wish you the very best for the future.
Brilliant young man, very switched on with a great future ahead of him, best of luck Elliot
A very clever young man with a bright future. Great to listen to his obvious confidence and first class knowledge. We’ll done and good luck Elliot.
Elliott is confident AF. Inspires real confidence!
I'm from the US, well past my prime, but I find the subject endlessly fascinating. A suggestion: Any time this young man wishes to give an illustrated lecture on what he knows, LET HIM! He's impressive and so is his technique. He'll probably be so successful, he won't have the time! Too bad. He's a good teacher.
Amazing !! natural-born talented carpenter. Keep up the good work Elliot.
Excellent. Also a very good college. Mick, Darren, Neil and Andy...top teachers over there.
No XBOX at this kids house, great to see total dedication to his trade and so eloquent. Well done young Man 👏👏👍
It’s down to Elliot’s keeness to learn and good experienced lecturers passing on their knowledge. Well done Elliot. 👍 All the best for the future.
Couldn't agree more!
I agree with the previous comments, I was fortunate enough to serve my apprenticeship with good tradesmen (mostly ) . I am coming to the end of my working life and find it refreshing to see young people who are full of enthusiasm , and experienced guys who appreciate them , as we need them as much as they need us old fellas ! I believe you should start off - getting things done right ( exact ) . One can always get rougher and quicker , but its good to have the confidence gained by being a good hand . All the best for a happy working life Elliot .
His future is bright... tremendous articulation!
All I can add to everything else that has been said is, "I wish you all the very best with you final period at apprenticeship" and "every success for the future."
"You've well and truly earned it."
What a confident young man!
Wow! Absolute masterclass!! Very impressive lad
Great video. As a framer myself, I have never seen this method and will probably not use it ever but it was very refreshing to watch. Keep up the good work. High level carpentry and knowledge.
Problem is, for every one young lad like him that takes a really useful trade, there will be another 200 taking "Gender Studies" or some sort of "Sociology" or "Psychology" path, this lad is rarer than hen's teeth these days, great to see though.
The lad knows his stuff, all that knowledge stored in his brain, and he understands it inside out!
Good luck Eliot...
Very very clever, and great to watch.
Brilliant! Very technical.
Brings back memories when I did my college course 2000-2003, Elliot has a bright future ahead of him that’s for sure!
My son just finished college he has been taught all the basics of carpentry and joinery, I am proud to say he is taking after me in his career.
Carpentry and joinery has always been a good career for me and my son can see that hence why he followed in my footsteps.
College is so important for a good head start in life.
this guy could be an architect, he chooses to be a tradesman...total respect
The future of building looks to be in good hands. I'm not even a builder either but getting young brains into the more difficult trades is a modern challenge
This youngster is going to be good, keep it up
Well done young man. Don't let the industry taint your passion. It will pay off in time.
he'll go far... loads of interest in the trade wish him all the best
skill builder has morphed into Open University! well done all👍
Seems a great lad and very knowledgeable, I often find a twisted out of level wall plate can ruin all the maths 😂
watching this has made me realise how truly rubbish my college experience was. Tutors who couldnt be arsed and a college that didnt want to listen. Passed, but I Elliot has more foundation and fully understands what hes doing making him inherently more confident and I reckon he probably already produces better work! A massive well done to elliot and all of the tutors and trades that brought him to this point
I teach carpentry and this did my head in...
A few years on site and definitely a great collage lecturer.
Great vid sounds like the lad will go far 👍🤞
America needs this type of school (here they're called Vocational). I understand what the older gentleman meant; learn and understand the process, then apply the new tech (apps/software). Excellent work! I envy you both, having the knowledge and training. Just let me, AMAZING!
A perfectly square set of wall-plates is great in a college environment but something that I've rarely found in reality. Yes you can 'tweak' them but if the bricklayers don't check plumb then a chippy can have to alter the 'point to birdsmouth' measurements. I will complain when I have to start changing angles when it gets so bad but in the building trade we're always covering the previous trade's laziness.
Totally agree!
I think you are being too kind to brickies. Brick stackers is a better description for these idiots. I’m not convinced they could build Lego plumb.
@@Trevor_Austin I think they are the biggest Prima Donnas of all the trades followed closely by scaffolders.
I've cut hip roofs out where there has been 7 " difference between them , set out wrong at the footings brickies don't check 🤔
You're correct, my head hurts 😂 Very impressive young man, he'll do very well in the outside world.
F me every college kid I've had through my business can barely remember to bring their dinner with them every day.
Well I have to say that was absoluteley BRILLIANT. I am a 55 year old joiner and take my hat off to that young lad. Roofing was allways my favourite work. But sadly in my generation someone invented roof trusses and spoilt all the joy and technicality that a roof gives you. The satisfaction to see all your calculations work when you've built the roof is second to none. He will go a long way in the CARPENTRY and JOINERY world. 10 out of 10 young man.
Brilliant 🥳🥳🥳
Nice work
Great to see this …. Though today we just use the construction master pro calculator or app 👍
Great to see this lad taking a real practical trade! Not enough of people like this these days. Hope someone in his area can give him a chance as he seems like a smart enthusiastic young man - I wish him all the best! (Take that calculator off him and give him those old TABLES books we used to have to use years ago - TAN/SIN/COS! Ha ha) for CSE and GCE
I would think joiners and builders would be fighting over each other to offer this lad a job, he would make them good money
Some people have curly black hair through perpetual brushing. Sin perp/hypot, Cos base/hypot, Tan perp/base.
Good work making these vids
Glad you like them!
This young man is next level for his age!! Amazing and no doubt he will be a Very successful businessman along his career. Millionaire in the making
Definition of a prodigy - "a young person with exceptional qualities or abilities"
I got taught this on my level 3 City & Guilds diploma 4 years ago. I could never grasp the geometric drawing. It’s still blew my head watching you explain it.
Roofing has always been one area of carpentry I’ve always wanted to get into but have the least experience with. I can cut a common rafter no problem but working out Hips and Valley rafters, I’d really struggle.
You have really put the time and effort into practising. I hopefully will get to a level of understanding you have as roofing carpentry really interests me! Well done
Hire Dan Cox for your next roof and he will put you straight. It is not hard with his square
Everything about him is class! Hope we continue to see him here on SB. I’ve said it before, but for those that don’t follow him on instagram, find him! A great follow
What's his insta
He’s a bright young lad you can tell he’s got great support around him and also a great college he will be a brilliant chippy. I wonder how many years it will take him to get fed up with plasterers and brickies just whacking it together
Come the collapse of civilisation, we'll need people like this.
He'll need something to replace the calculator...
@@ricos1497 an abacus?
Well if being on the tools doesn't work out he'll make a smashing lecturer for the next generation. Obviously has the passion for the trade.
Great young talent
My maths is bad and I was in high school in late 80s. I think maths would of been more interesting if they explained "These calculations are very useful if you want to build a roof. Lets do drawings for one and you do all the calculations" but they never did.
Very good
This is a lad who’s never going to out of work. 🎉 if he’s not building houses, he’ll be putting rockets into space & further
Reminds me of my GCE Tech-Drawing days at school 😄 ..... D'you think he's Robin Clevett's Love-Child ?? ... What a Brilliant Young Chap ?? .... He's Going Places - No doubt ! 👍🤠 ..... What You should've done Roger is 'tagged' another video on the end of this where the camera was focused on 'Your Eyes' during all of these 'Calculations' ..... Would've made it a CLASSIC!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Thank Pete, I am not sure Robin ever went into roof construction to this level, because his college didn't teach it. They gave them a square which gets you to the same place with a lot less effort. I am fairly certain that only a small percentage of carpenters know this stuff and if they do it is another talent explaining it.
Glad to see youngsters not in the internet cloud, but real work. Fantastic.
Ánd he's using the metric system, wow.
those barstard hips! they dont lie.
being schooled here, good man that lad. im trying to keep up here, but hes flying it. good on him
That lad definitely would blow your brain out, he's certainly put the effort in and had some good lecturers in his time at the college. The NVQ'S system have come a long way since the early 90's as this kind of work was never done were I went. Good luck to you in your career. Roger give the lad a darker pen next time.
Totally agree
Are we watching Robin Clevett when he was 20 years old?!
Hats off kidda, you will make a good living for yourself
Theoretically , he could do one site visit to get dimensions, do his drawing, cut all timber ready for assembly on site. maybe thats how a housing estate of hundreds of buildings are done like kit form, but great to see it explained.
A lot of roofs were cut on the ground. Now we use trusses which are delivered ready cut and assembled. Some carpenters will never cut a roof let alone work it out
@@SkillBuilder was thinking the same, see more and more being delivered in steel frames nowadays too all done by machinery off site .price of wood going up everywhere maybe it was too cheap anyways so the future of wooden roofs is at an end id say
York college teaches at this standard for the level 3. Eliot should be doing skill build competition at his level for a life changing opportunity.
He’s going to have a great future 👍🏻
This is what we have been missing proper training and apprenticeship taught the proper basic skills there is a shortage of skilled craftsmen to takeover from the guys who retire it do not matter if it is carpentry plumbing or engineering they can create a great career from then on
That, is craftsmanship.
There is a difference between being a qualified carpenter and a carpenter from America who seem to just pick up a nail bag and they are a carpenter. Speed squares for speed. Mathematics for accuracy!
That las is going places.
Is this the level 3 nvq he is doing?? I did a nvq lvl 2 apprenticeship and I never did anything like this in depth.
Great to see apprenticeships being taken seriously by all concerned. I live in South Australia and all too often see an apprentice being treated as cheap labour, so disappointing.
Thanks
Thank you, we will pass it on to Eliot
"you have to understand your trade before you can master your trade"
Good to see. Not much younger than myself at 27. I feel there's a stigma around young trade's people being very good at what they know and sometimes being looked as less. I personally feel like I could possibly be one of the youngest joinery main contractors/barons in the country at 27 and feel this regularly.
sorry can you say that again I'm confused. What a great lad, Parents must be so proud keep it up Eliot
What was the book by Les Goring? And well done.
Hi Joe, if you type Les goring into amazon it should come up. It’s the fourth edition. Red book that says manual of first and second fix carpentry 👍
Great video. He must have great parents and great teachers/mentors. The apprentice is only as good as his trainer and his will to learn. Sadly in a system where time and the dollar run everything, craftsmanship, skill and quality are relegated into antiquity. Nothing of value is valued and the trades have been destroyed over the years. The whole system is broken. In Australia, the colleges are nothing compared to what they were. Sure they look fancy now and have nicer equipment but they've lost vast amounts of experienced people. All their courses and training have become modular, American style. Instead of learning a whole trade, your get the bare minimum. Courses and content is even dictated by employers and if they deem a training as irrelevant to the business, it gets removed. Apprenticeships are difficult to find and are in the hands of " training organisations". The majority of the kids have an entitlement mentality and area not willing to suffer through the apprenticeship period. The good kids can't find employers and employers can't find good apprentices. It's crazy. The trades area not trendy or sophisticated. Fancy working with your hands when you can work remotely on your computer! Finally the tables are turning. There is a shortage of all sorts of trades. The University educated kids with a useless degree and a massive debt haven't heard even begin to earn any real money and is still working at McDonalds, while the tradie is earning six figures and on his way to his first house!
Nice to see a young lad who is interested.
What was the name of the book he referenced please
Les Goring www.amazon.co.uk/Manual-First-Second-Fixing-Carpentry/dp/113829599X
@@SkillBuilder thanks for that. I'm not a carpenter but I'll enjoy reading it anyway. Might make a fancy shed with overkill roof!
genious😎 who figured this out thousands of years ago? AMAZING😎 love geometry and algebra....❤
It was Barry Pythagoras I believe. Great lad.
impressive
You learn in school how to build perfect roofs by code. In life you learn how to fit it on buildings which are nowhere near done by code.
Simple trig but they should use model roofs to apply it
Excellent but please use black marker in future. Can't see pencil
