What a stunning scarf joint you've created. I do hope your customer realises just how lucky he is to have such a craftsman as you working on his home. Your videos just get better and better, I never want them to end. Thank you for posting such interesting, instructional and uniquely varied content.
Specifically, undercut the mating faces slightly (quick with a plane, small rebate plane/flush plane), fit the joint, kerf cut, disassemble to remove dust and tidy up corners, re-assemble and it'll be tight as a nun's
Yeah it's certainly really easy to get into a grumble mood of not careful. I try and snap myself out of it and be positive as it's a great job beside the little inconveniences
yer a very clever young man sir with a great work ethic, shame there are not more tradesmen like you I feel that all trades are dying out slowly as you hardly see apprentices these days most young uns only want to use their thumbs on a phone which is pretty sad to be honest, crikey the change in how the work gets done has changed so much since my time when I started lol my power tools were a yankee screwdriver and a hammer, the only corded power tools was a drill and a rip snorter we called it, ( Circular Saw )great watching you work and how you explain what you are doing, always a pleasure fella 👍👍
I’ve been in the job for a long time and it’s good to show the downside then people who are having a go don’t get demoralised Logistics weather machinery labour costs injuries problems in general are a big part of the job as well asof course the upsides Great vlogs great work Oliver
Love this series: Q - Allowing the need for "movement, you mentioned, how do you factor this element into to costing the manufacturing phase of your cost estimate?
Thankyou, yeah but I was just looking after a few videos back someone mentioned flipping the rail.would.sjpport the saw from tilting after I machined all of the saw support away (hk85 video)
Wow that was great - love seeing the real world problems as well! When it's green oak do you have to tighten the wedges as it seasons or will it stay tight?
The sub structure (wall plate and ridge will have the curves in, then just cut each rafter from a measurement between bird mouth seat cut to point of rafter
My Brother can make air hoses up any length u want really heavy duty jobs They do not hold a memory in them we find them great let me no your email and I can get some sent down. Thanks for another fantastic video on real life joinery. 👍
The weather this year has been a real pain, luckily I managed to get the outside of the house painted and shed doors changed in July during the good weather.
Nice job you're making there. Noticed that you've got a guitar hung up in your workshop. Is this because it's where you're banished to when you play or is it the acoustics of the place that you like? 😃
in short, to compare the difference, this isnt my main work line, i think the slotted approach is stronger personally the shallower angle on the scarf seems better to me and more timber behind wedge on the weak side to support , but also as it wedges tight tries to open the joint by twisting the wedges, so slightly detrimental to joint alignment. Both work, this one is easier to get right i think. easier to adjust and cant really go wrong wedging it.

NEAT!!!!
Now THAT is what you call a scarf joint! Awesome skills, well done
A well executed scarf joint is a thing of beauty. Nicely done!
The undercut is a bit of a hack, it would be better to kerf cut the pieces together for a tight fit both sides
Specifically, undercut the mating faces slightly (quick with a plane, small rebate plane/flush plane), fit the joint, kerf cut, disassemble to remove dust and tidy up corners, re-assemble and it'll be tight as a nun's
Nice idea on the undercut for the joint- makes a nice clean edge and takes away a problem on site!
I love the way you make everything you do look easy. Because in my experience, anything that looks easy is anything but.
nice job
Thanks for your posts. The scarf joint wedging is top notch😁. Well done Sir!
lovely
That is a great looking scarf joint. You do such nice work.
To get it even tidier, kerf cut the two pieces together, would be very quick to do with that thickness of beam.
Can use a bit of masking tape on the side the saw exits to keep edge material intact
True that! 👍👍
Very nice joint
Excellent coming together nicely, race against the weather now
Stunning quality of craftsmanship.
I’m always grumbling about not having enough space and having to move stuff about… tis the lot of a chippy!
Yeah it's certainly really easy to get into a grumble mood of not careful. I try and snap myself out of it and be positive as it's a great job beside the little inconveniences
Yes, the only way is forward. Tidying out the workshop today because it’s trashed after a big install. Love the channel, mate.

Thankyou so much 🙌
That's some quality scarf jointing ollie. Looking forward to the next video. Cheers 🍻
Another excellent piece of work. Loved how well the joint came together. Cheers. Jim
Cheers Jim! thanks
Brilliant work and patience.
I’ve been in the job for a long time and it’s good to show the downside then people who are having a go don’t get demoralised

Great vlogs great work Oliver
Quality
The different elements you have to deal with on site can sometimes make you or break you, keep smiling 🙂 😊
It’s not obvious that scarfs are best not over the top of the post because it will have a wave
Always top draw mate 👏👏 lovely scarf joint

So good
It fitted like a glove quality joint

Awsome carps waffle.. absolutely first rate

At least the crap weather keeps those pesky paragliders away 😜

Your funny “expiring me to do something” 🤔😅😂🤣
Sweet

What a fantastic job, Oliver. Good old fashioned joinery and carpentry using modern equipment. That joint is superb 🌞
Thanks
Legend thanks Ben
👍
Fantastic joint work. Couldn’t the saw guide just flip over to provide a guide rail?
Thankyou, yeah but I was just looking after a few videos back someone mentioned flipping the rail.would.sjpport the saw from tilting after I machined all of the saw support away (hk85 video)
Wow that was great - love seeing the real world problems as well! When it's green oak do you have to tighten the wedges as it seasons or will it stay tight?
thanks! theory is it tightens as it shrinks!
Why do you offset?
I umderstand using scarf joints, however, how do I frame an oscillating seawave roof? A bent ridgeline rising upwards at each end.
The sub structure (wall plate and ridge will have the curves in, then just cut each rafter from a measurement between bird mouth seat cut to point of rafter
@@BradshawJoinery Thanks. I wasn't sure if I had to add anything or simply cut back from a straight line. Thank you for the experienced advice.
My Brother can make air hoses up any length u want really heavy duty jobs
They do not hold a memory in them we find them great let me no your email and I can get some sent down. Thanks for another fantastic video on real life joinery. 👍
Thanks matey, email me on oliver at bradshawjoinery dot co dot uk that would be fantastic
👊🫡
Really nice work on the scarf joint dude 👌 really enjoying the series
👍👍👍.Thanks

Def worth a like and comment for sure. Sweet joint.
Nice job you're making there. Noticed that you've got a guitar hung up in your workshop. Is this because it's where you're banished to when you play or is it the acoustics of the place that you like? 😃
thanks, im only self taught chord maker, and the workshop is where i have a little spare time to play so best place for it.
Some people would call that slight water ingress a waterfall!
yeah aha, it suck to be fair but doesn't do much harm
excellent work
nice job
"SKILLS",you sure do know your onions👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Golden,do your best with what you have,,,, this is uncle g from Detroit Michigan,keep on man and keep posting!
Right on Uncle G ❤️
That joint is a thing of beauty 👏👏
Good evening Oliver. Why did you choose a 'tabled' scarf joint here and a slotted approach for the other timbers?
in short, to compare the difference, this isnt my main work line, i think the slotted approach is stronger personally the shallower angle on the scarf seems better to me and more timber behind wedge on the weak side to support , but also as it wedges tight tries to open the joint by twisting the wedges, so slightly detrimental to joint alignment. Both work, this one is easier to get right i think. easier to adjust and cant really go wrong wedging it.
Ooh tight joint missses!
A very nice job done young Oliver!! Another good job jobbed!
Thankyou Simon
👍
Thanks
very generous buddy
