Fitting feather edge cladding boards***UK CARPENTRY***(how I do it)

In this video I show how I set out and finish a gable wall in timber, feather edge boards, and how I get them behind the previously fitted barge boards.

Love people that make their life difficult due to pride in their workmanship, even though it often goes unnoticed, cheers.

Thanks for your comment 🤩 and quite a lot of what I do get covered up, but I still like to do the best job I can👍Cheers Del

Try this tip. Make a story stick for 150 course gauge place bottom on the bottom row starting point and move the story stick until a gauge mark hits the preferred top position ie window head position as you have chosen Now unless the dimension is divisible by 150 the gauge will be angled off plumb so you mark off all gauges from the story stick and clad from them. Negates the need for any arithmetic and gives you the chance to see where the cladding will fall around other openings and obstacles.

Great comment Patrick👊Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del

Pertect timing, I'm about to start this on my new workshop. Can't beat the tips and advice Del, making my life easier 🎉

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Gary🖐Glad you find my videos helpful👊and good luck with your workshop😎Cheers

[@michaelplays2449]

Lovely work Del !!! You make ir look so easy , but all the Top crafts people like yourself always do ,,,,,,,,,,,,Gifted !! Great video !!! thank you 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@thetallcarpenter]

I guess it should come fairly easy to me Michael, given how many times I've done it😆Thanks as always bud🤗

[@johnwaby4321]

A good bit of forward thinking there del .👍 Made fitting those boards a lot easier. . Yes keep an eye on the gauge as you can soon run out a lot 👍👍👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi John🤗So glad I did this, as it will be a breeze to finish now, all from the ground👊Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers

[@ironpirate8]

Good tips, thank you!

[@thetallcarpenter]

My pleasure IP👍Cheers Del

[@robevs100ok]

use the gauge rod to mark the 2x1 and inbetween pitches cut two angles at 500mm place in position then measure inbetween then calc the diminishing measurement , save you loads of time.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Great tip👌I get exactly what you mean😎 Cheers Del

[@davetaylor4741]

Pretty much how I was taught. You can be even more pedantic, and see if it works full board under, full board over. On the windows. Not always possible. But big enough windows. Can be done. I also make up batten T's for my gauge. Hooked under last board. Pinned on. Next board sits on top. Don't have to hold it up. Joys of working on your own. The other thing to mention is, nail just above the feather of the board below. This allows board movement. And makes repairs later, easier. Hate it when you come to take a board out, and someone has nailed through the feather. Neat and precise as ever. Good job.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Dave🖐Another great comment with loads of handy tips👌Thanks for watching bud 😎 Cheers Del

[@philwilson8797]

Morning Del It’s amazing what 25years+ experience has it’s a absolute pleasure watching you and taking tips away after watching you, one question what make is your gazebo please 👍🏻

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Phil🖐Thanks for your very kind words🤗and my gazebo is from here.surfturf.co.uk/shop/shelters/robusta/4-5m-x-3m-6/ Cheers Del

[@arthuranderson7741]

Nice piece of work...good insight to setting out and measuring the boards...

[@thetallcarpenter]

Cheers Arthur🤗and thanks for watching 😎

[@Nagantfan762]

I like to lay out a story pole(gauge rod) for my beveled siding also, but we have always layed it out to the top of our siding and snapped lines all the way up the wall for every course.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there🖐Snapping every course is definitely a great way to stay on gauge👊Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del

[@David.R.H]

Easy when you know how. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

You're right there David👊Cheers Del

[@Joe-jv5mm]

Thanks fot the Tips and Hints, some thought goes into planing the layout 👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

Cheers Joe😎It all looked sweet when it was finished ✅️ Thanks for watching 😎

[@LTWCarpentry]

Great job del, only thing I do differently is I make two gauging blocks out of batten then I can screw one on one end allowing me to hook one end on then use the other gauge block at the other end, just makes it a little easier when working on your own. Hope that makes sense 😂

[@thetallcarpenter]

Makes perfect sense Lewis👍I tend to just hold a pin up the side of my block and hammer it in for one end, and then like you, use the block the other😎Thanks for watching bud🫡

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Nice job with some great tis as always 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽

[@thetallcarpenter]

Cheers Steve🤗

[@jonbarrie7002]

Great work Del! Thats what makes the difference between good and ok. Thinking steps ahead to produce great work. If you're doing stud work next, it would be good to see how you set out your corner details at junctions for meeting walls and door frames etc so the plasterboard has a good fixing point. Great video as always. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi John🖐Appreciate your comment bud and I'll see if I get time to video some of the stud details🤞Cheers Del

Great job Del, legend. I noticed you are back on the Paslode, did the Fischer gun not meet expectations?

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Lee🖐The Fisher is a great, reliable gun, but just not agile enough for me when nailing into tighter corners🤔Still part of the tool kit though for use on big flooring/ply decking job's👊Cheers Del

Lovely work as always. Bit of deflection in that lintel! Cheers.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Jamie🖐I didn't know they made lintels that big🤯It's 4.6m long and has the weight of the roof on it😬I would normally have expected to see a steel beam in there🤔Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del

[@jamiehalpin9921]

Thanks for replying, yes same thoughts as I had, usually a beam. Can I ask what the cladding you are using is? Thanks.

[@thetallcarpenter]

@jamiehalpin9921 It's simple, re-sawn feather edge boarding. Most building suppliers stock it. It's about 180mm wide and 18mm at its 'bottom' edge, and about 6mm at its 'top' edge👍

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍. Thanks Del

[@thetallcarpenter]

My pleasure bud🫡and thanks for watching 😎

[@barryford7135]

Nice one Del, looks a bit chilly? 🚴👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

It was more blustery Barry 😬Thanks for watching bud 😎

[@towns84]

Thanks for the video, I've got some cladding to do on my house, so good timing! What size nails are you using?

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there🖐I used 63mm nails because that what I had, but 50mm would he fine👍Cheers Del

[@peefor135]

Very good insight. You mentioned briefly the mesh at the bottom to keep beasties out, but allow air through. What do you normally use? There was no mention of anything at the top. As there is no traditional soffit as such, is nothing necessary there?

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Peefor🖐At the top we used to fit the boards tight to a 'soffit' peice up behind the barge, but the reality of it is, that the boards shrink and shorten to such a degree that holes open up enough for insects to get in anyway😬 The screen at the bottom is more to stop rodents and, obviously let in airflow👍(and keep the BCO happy) Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del

[@amazing451]

Hi Del, nice to see you again, the 1880mm figure you used was that the measurement you levelled around from the door opening upto the back of your barge board ?

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Kevin🖐The 1880mm was from where the full board would go across the door opening, down to FIRST course where the brickwork ends and the blockwork starts👍Thanks for watching 😎

[@amazing451]

@@thetallcarpenter Thanks for that Del, as it happened I had began to type that in first but I was thinking that would be to small for the ceiling height but it shows I was wrong.

[@jimmysalford8415]

I’m in Australia and we use “Cladmate” is it not available in the UK yet? It makes any sort of cladding like that so much faster, especially if like me you are often working on your own.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there🖐Yes, I have seen the Cladmate gauges and they look really handy😎I don't do enough to warrant getting a set though😶Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del
