How to Lift Beams safely. Big garage build part 7

[@Geeraffe]

Seeing Robin operating the beam lift I was getting nostalgic memories of the end credits of camberwick green - top job guys

[@stewartmcardle8149]

I love your modus operandi of "preparation is the key" Robin.... excellent.

[@nickdawson9270]

Really impressed how the tie beams dropped into place. Laying out clearly was so accurate right from the start.

[@Excel510]

Very accurate work Robin you are a credit to your craft.

[@neil-mv3it]

well done guys great video

[@ukconstruction]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@eddjordan2399]

Cracking stainless steel fixing into the oak as well.

[@mikerussell1765]

Trumpton comes to mind for us older one turning them handles great job always mate

[@ukconstruction]

I remember Trumpton!!!! Windy Miller!!!!!!!!

[@markevans3488]

Digital spirit level with audible signal would be your friend there.( when levelling blind)😊

[@NoLeggedCarpenter]

Cracking Job Robin and Edd ❤

[@ukconstruction]

Thank you Davie!!!!! great to see you here in the comments!!

[@grotekleum]

Great stuff, very satisfying to watch (and do) when things just go flawlessly together. Thanks for sharing!

[@boywonder6659]

Well done.

[@OldWorldHandyman]

Great job!

[@kevinlawes591]

It’s looking great! It’s the setting out that’s made it fly together so nice! 👏👍

[@davidquirk8097]

Nice to see the Site Supervisor / Security checking out your work at the end of the video. Tidy job, Sir.

[@adamuk73]

It must be satisfying lifting such a large beam in to position and it fits perfectly

[@keithbrueton]

Quality series mate thanks so much

[@spotoncarpentry]

Great video once again... I think I'm hooked to watching them now. When I'm on a job working out how to do something I always find myself thinking ' how would Robin Clevett do this ?' After that I get great ideas and results every time !!

[@ukconstruction]

Glad you like them!

[@peterwhitaker9463]

Well done guys.

[@johncranna9427]

Those oak beams really are good and chunky. It would be interesting to know if the oak was supplied to your joiner as being seasoned. As a structural engineer who does a lot of timber design, when any section we are looking at has a dimension of 100 mm or more, then we have to treat that section as being green, ie any drying will not have necessarily gone right through the whole section and will have only gone through the outer 50 mm all around! We therefore have to take a 20% reduction in the allowable stresses for that section.

[@ukconstruction]

Interesting!!! These beams are classed as Green and they are large considering the clear spans being relatively small in the case of the garage door openings... the tie beams span is larger but the loads through the studwork gables that we will build over them once the 18mm sheathing is all fixed on is sent towards the ends nicely, I would love to understand how engineers like you work these things out, I have a lot of respect for that!!!

[@sammerthahammer]

apparently they have RF kilns now...

[@WilliamPightling]

Well done. It's nice to see Ed back on site with you.

[@ukconstruction]

Many thanks!

[@nb2211]

Beautiful work.

[@ukconstruction]

Thank you very much!

[@Ryan-dx8ry]

Quality series mate thanks so much for sharing it

[@ukconstruction]

My pleasure

[@paulhume8083]

Wow, that is a SOLID construction!

[@jpeters7594]

Robin, your channel is an example for me!! So much interesting stuff and learnings. Thanks and keep up the good work

[@ukconstruction]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@aaronc3032]

[@ukconstruction]

Sure is!

[@thomasbroker69]

Excellent job Rob!

[@scottvirgogp]

[@seanolaoire8476]

Looking fantastic great job Robin and little Ed. 😊

[@frankyates7910]

great job well done.

[@ukconstruction]

Thank you!

[@nigel8247]

Ed looks really enthusiastic 😂

[@smeghead420]

He's Robs third arm, it's be a big change after being his own boss for a while.

[@DIYLONDON]

All of your builds are top notch rob, this is really exciting, precision & excellence created in front of us all ! Those oak beams must have a lovely scent mate . Pure quality! ❤️

[@ukconstruction]

Cheers Dennis, the Oak has a great smell it changes as it dries... I really love that process!!

[@DIYLONDON]

I agree rob, it will look even more beautiful when it naturally weathers . Awesome work mate . ❤️🙏

[@bradallen8643]

Oak beams must have been very straight (or with slight bow up) to be able to slip the centre column under after the load was carried by the outer corner columns.

[@RI-uv3lm]

What a calm & clean way to get things done. No aggro! Yes 👍 Thank you both Robin & Ed

[@gardenogauge]

Robin "don't step under the load" 4:30 steps under the load 🤣

[@zzota]

Nice work. It's great when all the parts fit as expected.

[@ukconstruction]

I'm glad you like it

[@johnchincotta1qwdb15]

Great task

[@SJWardBuilders]

Nice!!

[@ukconstruction]

Thank you! Cheers Sam

[@deadlevelwillie]

Great job lads, moving along nicely👍

[@shaun6069]

Looks great keep the vids coming 👌 all the best shaun 👍

[@ukconstruction]

Thanks, will do!

[@LeeTillbury]

Ed be like- 'God I wish I was back in Devon' 😂

[@SteveStevieboy]

Brilliant Robin! This is where your use of a rod,instead of a tape measure, really comes into its own eh😊! Only thing I would say is “ a squirt of WD40 might help with the squeaky lift”🤣🤣. Seriously though,another stage of the job well done👍

[@OrangeZXr10R]

Robin, I thought you would never need to ask Ed for a hop up. ... ever !!

[@peterwalton1502]

Excelllent vlog guys 👏👏👏

[@garyhollywell2112]

Quality

[@TheIBiSIH]

What you want to use is a Hywema

[@ukconstruction]

????

[@stephengibbon2002]

How can I purchase one of your squares from robin mate

[@antonyporter5045]

some WD 40 on those lifters b nice

[@gravey07]

11:00 “yaarrrrp”

[@smeghead420]

Does anyone know how they did this before beam lifters, I can think of one or two ways but what did they actually do?

[@paulwatson8429]

Block and tackle and a tripod built from scaffold tubes in the good old days!

[@kmac2555]

Need to put ‘crows feet ‘ on the wheels

[@TheSudsy]

lifters would be better with Ed's brakes on.

[@jaycfc6955]

Agreed, definitely off on Ed's side at the start. Rolls of the base = trouble

[@scruffywuffy8009]

The squeakiest video on youtube.

[@georgebarker3356]
