Negative comments? Some people are just never pleased. I could watch this stuff all day. 👏

[@oldtoolie7211]

This is from one of your viewers in the US. I fail to understand how anyone can be critical of anything you’ve done so far. I’ve seen most if not all and keep coming back for more because it’s a GOLD MINE of information. I strongly suspect that the vast majority see you as a decent guy trying to provide worthwhile information and are doing it SUCCESSFULLY! I ALWAYS look forward to your videos. In my opinion, you’re WORLD CLASS. Keep up the excellent work!

[@jakestokes2203]

True testament to you as a craftsman Robin is how many carpenters/joiners watch you (I'm another one btw). For us to spend our spare time watching you do what we've been doing all day means you have a gift...total legend IMO 👍

I was 15 when I was learning this in Ireland 1966 and the longest measuring tape was a Stanley 6' 😀so the hip rafter was measured with pinching rods (2 lengths of 2"x1" roofing batten nailed together with a pointed end towards the ridge),my boss was real old school, how things have changed over the years, I always enjoy watching Robin as I feel I am there doing it as well. He's so easy to follow for someone who wants to do the job correctly, a proper craftsman👍

[@user-im1vn8su1q]

Knowing how to do something correctly and being able to explain how to do something really clearly are two skills that are rare to find in one person. You combine these two skills exceptionally well.

[@GrahamG-rm4jx]

Exactly that. Any negative comments will be from people who have never built a roof. Great video 👍🏽

[@didjwentworth5778]

Hey Robin, I know you've probably had those saw horses for around 20 odd years, but I feel if they were just 200-250 mm taller it would save your back a great deal.

[@SteveStevieboy]

Can’t believe anyone would post negative comments! You’re an excellent craftsman and your videos are always straightforward and concise. I’ve been a carpenter/joiner for over 30 years but I still learn better and more effective ways of doing stuff through your videos. Thanks Robin👍👍

[@WilliamPightling]

Well done Robin. A masterclass on Jack rafters.

[@russellwithey1938]

Great video Rob people with the negative comments must be talking absolute rubbish , I'm a cabinet maker and when I'm watching your videos wish sometimes I'd gone into roofing when I left college

[@stewartmcardle8149]

Explained so articulately Robin ! Many years ago when I was an apprentice, I worked with an old Yorkshire bloke whose mantra was "whatever tha' does in life, tha's got to work to a system"...…I've never forgotten his mantra ...

[@mhoover]

You make this look like child's play. That's the mark of a true professional.

[@dalesephton5100]

Thanks for doing this video Robin. So good to see you in action on site again. We really appreciate what you do! Been a carpenter for 25 years and Still learning new things from you.

[@MrSparkyAprilia]

Now, just to get the brickies to build a level and square building and we're golden!

[@wernerhoogeveen8088]

Great to see the methodical approach of the cut work!

[@markdyballuk]

always an absolute pleasure watching you Robin. thank you so much for sharing your standards with us. there is nothing simple about your work it is the result of many years of experience, good tutors (perhaps) and the patience of a saint. bless you

[@leonpetersen3572]

Always a pleasure watching you work,I’ve been in the game for 35 years ,I’m always learning we all do things differently but your efforts for streamlining and improving are second to none,working alone is something I enjoy time to time,I like the way you make this manageable,keep it up Robin,EXCELLENT 💪

[@MattyB1970]

Love the way Robin does this all by himself.

[@frenchgreguk]

Robster the master!

Very interesting video, it was taught in a different way in the army when I worked as a slave to a chippy on a project in Germany but when I did a refresher after discharge even though I already had the qualification. We actually did a practice run on a mock up while on my construction BTEC at Chester College then the roofers used it to practice on.
