[@ukconstruction]

Hi Tim, thanks for the mention and link, that's super kind, nice bit of cladding, oh and the screws that you had are great for cladding especially oak, all the best Robin

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Cheers. Good to know that the screws were ok for the job. Only read they were actually intended for flooring after I’d used them! 😂

[@jamieaxten9984]

Robin such a nice a guy and a pro at everything he does. If only I could have had him teach me for the past 20 years.

[@gregp1707]

Nice touch Robin for commenting on Tim's video. Both you guys are an inspiration to me, love your videos!

[@INTELIBUILD]

You are way too modest! That’s not “tidy”, it’s true craftsmanship and a joy to watch. Awesome

[@CaptWonkyAir]

Excellent video and craftsmanship as usual Tim... add me to theeee list of wood grain appreciation society.... I purchased some Yew tree from my local hardware specialists to make a custom live edge shelf to go above our son’s custom Oak desk I made ... Was a great to introduce my 12yr old to the wonders of wood working ... gave him the sandpaper 4 hours later all sanded and stained with oil .... very large smile on his face looking at the amazing grain and his achievements...

[@philthewriter]

Love your videos, and hope you continue doing them long into the future, they're just genuinely interesting to watch. Would be good to see an overview of the whole house/garden at some point, and how it's all coming together. Thanks for the entertainment and tips!

[@DP80s]

Great job as always. Glad you mentioned Robin Clevett, that guys knowledge and eye for detail is amazing.

[@njuham]

The cladding compliments the stone wall very nicely.

[@petemoring67]

Always a 'treat' to watch a WoodOholic in action .... Love that OAK grain too :-)

[@eyeballe]

10:13 Never mind Tim, there are plenty of wood nerds on here that do appreciate wood grain 😂

[@michaellinahan7740]

for us it is end-grained in our psyche

[@BMurphy]

May I say .... stunning. You did a great job 👍

[@Crow2525]

Also love the foam paintbrush in the osmo. Will be following that tip!

[@TheMidnightt]

I’m very impressed with your design and quality of the build.

[@mandyleeson1]

It looks fantastic. Still get a kick out of seeing the grain come to life as the finish goes on. 🙏

[@jocole9817]

Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@TheStrongwomans]

Amazing Tim 👍👍👍 also bought a blade for my table saw from company you recommended loving my new blade thanks for recommendation

[@lukepeacham9663]

Brilliant work well done

[@AuntieDeb71]

Beautiful. Reminds me of an upscale restaurant entrance.

[@felixreali7101]

the porch looks amazing. great job. can't wait for your next vid

[@MM-qd4km]

Porch looks fantastic and thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.

[@ABell676]

Looks amazing

[@drgrowuk8830]

Great helpful video 👏👏👍🏻

[@wingtsang2158]

Excellent attention to detail with the trim and the oak

[@kevinbutchart7187]

that looks amazing...cant wait for the other porch bits and the workshop....great work Tim!

[@SwimBikeRunFastest]

Expensive, but it's expensive for a reason. It looks amazing!

[@lindabullock742]

Looks fabulous Tim...and I’m loving the wood grain....😘🇦🇺

[@davidhill431]

Brilliant lighting to this video Tim, great job. At least Jo comes out to see what you are doing

[@GazmoOrgazmo]

I love oak, that looks awesome

[@TheKnightstar13]

I love your craftsmanship, you really do a lovely job, and it's inspired me to my tools out again. Cheers

[@flashback9966]

I see you using that nail gun quite often now, so I finally thought I might get one. I went for the same Ryobi and havn't stop playing with it since! Why I didn't get one of these years ago:) Oh and that porch is looking real good. . .

[@joyardley1742]

This Jo loves the golden oak 😊

[@Paul-jz1lv]

Looks really good the finished wood and stone will make you entry way stand out .

[@50Druiden]

Love your eye for detail

[@alexanderbell3102]

Loved Robin's video on Skill builder, he is a fantastic chippy. However your work seems as good, it may take 3 times as long but your eye for detail is superb Tim.

[@ukconstruction]

Thanks Alexander that's really kind, I would say that Tim's level of skill and his hunger to try all types of craft is infectious and his ability is probably better than most tradesmen!!

[@wgoconnor33]

Well done Tim it looks awesome.

[@elliotttrent9693]

excellent choice on those screws, they are fully excellent for that! im sure you know youd just get black streaks otherwise from standard galv brads

[@saranjesse23]

Hey, I’m really impressed at the craftsmanship involved. It’s hard to find truly good work nowadays and that’s exactly what this is. Amazing job keep up the great work. Love your videos.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Thank you very much!

[@christate5656]

Stunning!!!!!

[@dawidg9967]

Lovely job. Good practice is to seal all wood edges has been cut to prevent of moisture 👍

[@PaulO-mv6ku]

Great job, very professional

[@PB200559]

Quality work, as always. Porch looks sharp.

[@MidnightAmratha]

Looking positively spiffy.

[@Kitch149]

Tim, you’re a don, much love

[@Crow2525]

Looks great, all parts.

[@maggiesue4825]

Such beautiful wood!

[@bobbymintaboiboy7104]

Absolutely stunning fair play dude

[@brenthanson1368]

Another great video 👍

[@clivewilliams1406]

It would have been better to put one or two coats of oil on the boarding before fixing in situ. The reason is that the cladding will shrink, moreso since you have large overhanging eaves to protect the timber from rain, and leave unpainted stripes. You can't guarantee the moisture content of the timber on fixing especially as its been kicking around the merchants yard for 12 months or more so you don't know whether the timber is swollen or contracted.

[@vivaldi1236]

Beautifully done. Exterior light fixture is understated elegance. Have you considered putting a matching fixture on the other side of the door?

[@jim9520]

Absolutely gorgeous.

[@fkkmag8692]

Nice wood ❤️

[@clydedecker765]

Great job - interesting about NOT applying the sealant. I was thinking clear silicon but -- trapping moisture....from where? However expansion and contraction would be allowed for in the silicon which won't harden. Love the look and the work.

[@okcantbelieveit294]

Oh yessssss! Splinters under a nail. Lovelllly! I was denailing an old piece of timber and the hammer missed the nail and took the whole nail off my middle finger . Eye watering really. 🤬

[@salsolo2403]

nice job Tim its coming along nicely :)

[@WisselUK]

Really nice job. Really nice.

[@chrispayne1029]

Great Video top job Tim 👏👏👌🏻👍🥃

[@colleenrobison4070]

It’s lovely!

[@cjhification]

No, I hate splinters under my nails. Got two blood blisters just growing out now from such incidents.

[@Raymond-Gibb]

Loving it!

[@krakenhackenla]

Would a burnt sand mastic not be better than a lime mortar?

[@jra55417]

6 months isn't really long enough I guess but have you seen any shrinkage/twisting/etc. movement in the porch yet?

[@AndrewHelgeCox]

I've spent £120 on your oil Osmo because of this man. Hope you are bunging him a few quid.

[@jag251080]

It would have paid to have sealed the back of the timber with osmo before fixing it , it’s balances thin timber prevents curling but it’s belt and braces really , nice job

[@superiorbeing95]

Looks good, I wish there was a finish for Oak that didn't turn it as orange.

[@paulclarke4488]

I was looking for inspiration for a similar porch in my new house. Great video! Can I ask though, why no insulation like celotex in the wall of the porch? Thanks

[@fireblaster9961]

Looks good probably would have pre sanded all the boards

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Yep, good old hindsight! Wouldn’t have been a bad idea to get the boards finished with first coat inside on a rainy day too. 😀

[@jonathansmith31]

Hi great video. How has the oak faired? Still golden coloured?

[@RC-oi1gg]

When you constructed the porch, how did you attach the wood to the house to prevent water ingress between the frame and building? I have a similar project to do myself. Many thanks.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Lead flashing chased into stone wall. Frame had bolts to wall and then expanding gasket tape to seal the gaps between.

[@TheVanderfulLife]

Do you have a shot of the porch from a few metres back? On insta maybe?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

I’ll add one on IG now. There have been in the stories. I’ll hold out for the ‘hero shot’ until I’ve sorted the roof trim. 😃

[@glynnhancock9546]

What was the make and colour of the wood protector Tim. You are far too modest, your projects always look amazing!

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Just clear osmo uv oil.

[@glynnhancock9546]

The Restoration Couple Thanks.

[@naturelover6520]

Would Larch be ok for outside cladding? Or being soft wool would deteriorate quickly.

[@ScottishPaul45]

The oak looks great! How do you find the erbauer power tools? Thinking of few of them for up coming projects.

[@BenSimpkinBS]

Will you be repointing in lime mortar? It looks like its cement currently which will destroy those stones sooner or later.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Yes, Whole house is lime except that wall which needs sorting. It is the most exposed which is likely why it was redone in the past, (with cement).

[@RatchetMonkey]

Hi Tim, Would you bother with battens if you were using composite cladding on a timber frame? Thanks

[@TheRestorationCouple]

I would. You still need to allow for air movement in case any moisture builds up behind it.

[@RatchetMonkey]

@@TheRestorationCouple Thanks Tim, i think i'll get some just incase.

[@robmaule4951]

Nice video Tim, the finish looks excellent. When you were opening the tin of stain you mentioned other videos by someone called jimmy. Can you recommend and add a link? Thanks, rob

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Jimmy Diresta. I couldn’t tell you which video it was in is it was a few years back when he was still in his New York workshop.

[@robmaule4951]

The Restoration Couple Thanks Tim, I’ll have a look. Good KZbin recommendations are at a premium now the country is in lockdown....plenty of time on our hands!

[@CurvedSlightly]

You're gonna regret using that when it warps, needs sanding and oiling.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

🙄

[@markcarter1118]

Will be interested to see what mitre saw you get. I’ve had the same Evolution saw as you for a couple of years and I’m not very impressed with it. Mainly the angle adjustment is very inaccurate. I guess you get what you pay for.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

I’ve managed the whole house Reno with it but it’s never been that accurate. Would be nice to have a machine you can trust the numbers on and actually use the mitre readings instead of a dozen test cuts each time. 🙄

[@showmeez]

You do indeed get what you pay for. I use the 110 V version of the same saw, while the price point does seriously hinder the quality of some of the features the thing has lasted quite a while of near daily outside use and has cheerfully cut everything I've thrown at it. I really can't fault it for the money. For chopping general landscaping materials and rough cuts it's been excellent. Furniture work or quality finish? Really not sure it's the tool you're looking for. Considering it was bought as a stop gap it's really won me over.

[@Tooma1979]

Forgot your name was Tim tidy work boyo

[@wainer16]

Hey Tim. I'm building a pair of driveway gates out of pressure-treated redwood. I know you're a big Osmo fan - what oil would you recommend? Also, is it worth going pressure-treated or just stick with normal redwood and hope the Osmo does it's job?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

I do tend to use quite a few Osmo products but to be honest, I’ve not tried endless other options so just stick with what I know. I guess the main worry about using pressure treated wood is the shrinkage and movement that will happen afterwards. It depends how fancy the gates are and what joinery I guess but maybe safer to just use high-quality kiln dried and then treat yourself. Not sure how it’s done by gate manufacturers, whether the joinery is done before or after treatment. Are use what is my UV oil outside for things like that though and it works great but worth a top up cost every year or two.

[@wainer16]

@@TheRestorationCouple Thanks for the advice, Tim. That was one of my concerns with using pressure-treated. They'll be a similar construction to your side gates (half lap jointed frame with T&G cladding. I've ordered a few sample sachets of Osmo in clear, pine, and spruce, so hopefully one will be suitable. Thanks again!

[@darrenmeears4667]

I don't now about DIY you could put a lot of trades men to shame your quality of work is Bob on I'm a builder and see a lot of s---t jobs 😲👀👍👌👏
