Scarf Jointing the Ridge Beams - Green Oak Framing

[@christopherc7757]

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.

[@raydriver7300]

What a fantastic job, Oliver. Good old fashioned joinery and carpentry using modern equipment. That joint is superb 🌞

[@paulhad69]

"SKILLS",you sure do know your onions👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@gadjules7334]

Now THAT is what you call a scarf joint! Awesome skills, well done

[@dalerudd6330]

Beautiful workmanship

[@mikebashford8198]

I love the way you make everything you do look easy. Because in my experience, anything that looks easy is anything but.

[@Cianan-vw1lb]

A well executed scarf joint is a thing of beauty. Nicely done!

[@whirled_peas]

The undercut is a bit of a hack, it would be better to kerf cut the pieces together for a tight fit both sides

[@whirled_peas]

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

[@leewatts2769]

Really nice work on the scarf joint dude 👌 really enjoying the series

[@PaulWoodJatobaFilms]

Nice idea on the undercut for the joint- makes a nice clean edge and takes away a problem on site!

[@Brayo9]

NEAT!!!!

[@brianhill1294]

That joint is a thing of beauty 👏👏

[@brianlochrie3958]

Cheers brothaa 👍

[@jimrowland8310]

The different elements you have to deal with on site can sometimes make you or break you, keep smiling 🙂 😊

[@georgewhitehouse8630]

It’s not obvious that scarfs are best not over the top of the post because it will have a wave

[@gaynorjasonjack]

Def worth a like and comment for sure. Sweet joint.

[@chriswild2458]

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

[@jackson2uk]

Ooh tight joint missses!

[@baloo021063]

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 👍👍

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou so much 🙌

[@jpgmusic2563]

Brilliant work and patience.

[@geraldrichards3570]

Golden,do your best with what you have,,,, this is uncle g from Detroit Michigan,keep on man and keep posting!

[@BradshawJoinery]

[@handyjim]

[@michaelplays2449]

Great video !!!! thank you

[@cliveclapham6451]

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

[@davykins]

nice job

[@llljustcallhimdave]

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.

[@leightondingle9056]

Sweet

[@DeluxeFFA]

lovely

[@whirled_peas]

To get it even tidier, kerf cut the two pieces together, would be very quick to do with that thickness of beam.

[@whirled_peas]

Can use a bit of masking tape on the side the saw exits to keep edge material intact

[@BradshawJoinery]

True that! 👍👍

[@bensimmons3692]

Thanks

[@BradshawJoinery]

Legend thanks Ben

[@michaellee8198]

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?

[@jellyartist]

I’m always grumbling about not having enough space and having to move stuff about… tis the lot of a chippy!

[@BradshawJoinery]

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

[@jellyartist]

Yes, the only way is forward. Tidying out the workshop today because it’s trashed after a big install. Love the channel, mate.

[@Octocoupler]

Quality

[@hkhunter1]

Fantastic joint work. Couldn’t the saw guide just flip over to provide a guide rail?

[@BradshawJoinery]

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)

[@miller745]

Some people would call that slight water ingress a waterfall!

[@BradshawJoinery]

yeah aha, it suck to be fair but doesn't do much harm

[@michaelballinger6419]

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?

[@BradshawJoinery]

thanks! theory is it tightens as it shrinks!

[@maverick6170]

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? 😃

[@BradshawJoinery]

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.

[@Dazza19746]

At least the crap weather keeps those pesky paragliders away 😜

[@BradshawJoinery]

🤣 well there's a poso mental swing on it🤣🤣 cheers matey

[@aldricoak5186]

I umderstand using scarf joints, however, how do I frame an oscillating seawave roof? A bent ridgeline rising upwards at each end.

[@BradshawJoinery]

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

[@aldricoak5186]

@@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.

[@gbexpatcornishman3004]

Good evening Oliver. Why did you choose a 'tabled' scarf joint here and a slotted approach for the other timbers?

[@BradshawJoinery]

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.

[@mg3289]

👍

[@georgewhitehouse8630]

Why do you offset?

[@ruaraidhmaccormick4677]

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. 👍
