Small Garage extension in timber Frame, a typical day for a carpenter

My Amazon store for all kinds of goodies
www.amazon.co....
I have built this small timber frame extension to a garage to house a new mains water storage system on a farm.
This is a typical day in the life of a modern carpenter, I use my knowledge of 35 years to think, design and build this structure on site. A carpenter has a very varied working life and has to be able to turn their hand and mind to all types of application and building situation on a regular basis, this is partly what I love about my chosen career but the weather! well you cant have it all!!
Thanks for watching my video and please share with your friends if you like it and subscribe

It’s a pleasure to watch a first class tradesmen.

Eating my tea after work watching this on the TV. Nothing on council tv teaching anyone anything . Can’t beat this. Cheers

[@Simpilotrichy]

I'm not too fussed about KZbin technicalities! I just need a constant flow of uploads from Robin the Master Carpenter! The most inspiring channel I've ever watched. Big thumbs up :)

[@buildahousewithlaserwoodcu3208]

Hi

[@jrobertspropertyservices2783]

I love the sounds the tools make when the video is sped up.

[@islandhopperstuart]

Robin, love the accuracy and attention to detail: inspirational.

[@thinkFishcatchFish]

That’s what makes him different and so appealing to learn from 👍

[@bloggs692413]

nnnoooo need part 2 was well into that then

[@adamlancaster183]

This is the exact type of video I would love to see more of Robin, 👏🏻👏🏻 tradesman Vlog 👌🏻

[@ukconstruction]

More to come!

[@takr797979]

You’re a natural in front of the camera! I thought this was off a show on telly.

[@thetallcarpenter]

You're dead right there. I don't think a lot of people really understand how difficult it can be talking into a camera and articulating confidently what your trying to say. A lot of his earlier videos are all done in one take, with no editing whatsoever, and they are excellent. (being good at something is one thing, being able to explain it to others is another). I think he should be called Robin, 'one take', Clevett!!. 🤣

[@frenchgreguk]

He could be the UK version of Tom Silva from this old House

[@philhunt2031]

Absolutely superb Robin. Great video.

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Robin cracking job, loved the video and set up everything flowed true craftsmanship all the best Tony 👍

[@andrewwilson3663]

As you asked in Part 2, legionella is controlled if the water is below 20 deg C (and over 50 C). Problem is, in the summer the supply can approach 20 C so you can't afford for it to get much warmer, hence the insulation. If it gets too marginal, the answer is to reduce the stored water level so it is refreshed with a higher % of fresh to keep it cool. That's why. Cheers. Great content as ever.

[@lewisbullock3349]

Really enjoyable video, great to see a decent craftsman at work! All these little production tips really help to speed up the process, thanks for sharing them 👍

[@eddjordan2399]

I like concrete screws for speed but they rot I hate to say. I think a plastic frame fixer is better below damp. Top job as allway Robin.

[@diywooddesign1548]

Lovely way to start a Saturday morning, thanks for the inspiration and great tips. As a DIYer, all your vids help me with my hobby! Keep them coming buddy!

[@andrewspence4934]

This is really helpful because I’m about to do one of these outside the workshop to cover the extraction unit. Finished with Waney edged cladding Thanks for this 👍

[@kylecroft5807]

Simple chopsaw station, would make a nice quick video on setting up

I really enjoyed that again Robin, I look forward to part 2.

Coming soon!

[@nickhaley4663]

I'm guessing you filmed this a couple of weeks ago when it wouldn't stop raining. Dont worry Robin, the rain will stop soon and it will be absolutely freezing instead.

[@TheKildareReno]

Fantastic video as always. Detail and accuracy is second to none. Thanks Robin!

[@ksly7426]

Wish this was Netflix just want to watch every episode

[@thetallcarpenter]

Yeah, I was felt like I was just getting into it and looking forward to the roof. I suppose a 50 minute video might be too much in one go for non hardened carpentry fans!!. 😀

Nice video. Always picking up something helful from what you put out. Looking forward to part 2

[@markdavis4588]

Absolutely loved that Robin, brilliantly presented as always. Happy to help should you need advise with mechanical ventilation to minimise the effects of heat gain during the summer.

[@barringtonsmythe3464]

Quality Robin. Looking forward to the next one 👍👍

[@chrismorris9396]

Great video really interesting and helpful! One idea I think for a video that would be good would be a guide on what size timber and what size and type of nail or screw to use for different situations, this would especially help people like me looking to build a shed or something similar but are unsure what size nails to use for the stud work and the rafters

[@ukconstruction]

Ok Chris, I will try to do that at some point

[@macfan9946]

great vlog, inspiring me to do diy!! used to love watching my dad work on the building site when I was a young lad. Some things have stuck but I still live up to my name as a bodger!!

[@Blobjonblob]

That number plate is abit crooked :)

[@tonyalways7174]

Lovely. Just shows it doesn’t have to be a Grand Design to contain superb craftsmanship. If it’s worth doing it’s worth doing well seems to be the Clevett mantra . Respect 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@simonhindley7930]

Nice little job to do that is, you’ve got some awesome tools now, I’m really thinking of swopping over to Milwaukee tools they look mega.

[@allaboutfishing1699]

The cross hand boogie on the chopsaw.

[@johnmoody2365]

yes I know, had to look away, especially as a few years ago a chippy doing 2nd fix went 1/2 through his forearm, grazed the bone. Blood everywhere, lucky he didn't lose it. Always swap hands or move saw now though not all chop/mitre saws operate well left handed so was a key feature when I bought my latest saw last year.

[@richardnelson2702]

Great video. Looks like a split in your work boots... get a lockdown treat to stop the crappy rain getting in.

[@peterbell4154]

Working in the snow and rain so am I at the moment Robin.👍☔

[@alexbekele8945]

Perfect upload for a Friday night.

[@imiles5548]

Glad you know about the roof needs to be same pitch for valley tiles to work even Architect's get it wrong sometimes.

[@christaylor5291]

I would thought that most in the industry would know that valley tiles only work if the two adjacent pitches are the same.

[@MegaRichardHoward]

Very enjoyable watching a pro

Great job there and love your approach. We also are in the countryside and suffer from low pressure I wonder if you could share the name of the water tank and pump? Thank you

[@piee683]

Thought it was scott brown I was watching there at the end

[@stewartpollard855]

Hi robin any more info on the plastic plywood you mentioned ? My hinge jig arrived this week looking forward to putting it to work 👍 keep the vids coming great work

[@gio-ne1ml]

Brillant thnking with the nail @10.16

[@vipjesus]

Taking shape robin, I’m interested in the tank, I have a similar situation my waters from a bore hole and it fills tanks in the attic, I need to look at a solution for possible outside tank and pump, the house has pumps everywhere driving me nuts, not long moved so it’s a project that needs tackling

[@nigelb4318]

have a look at a Mainsboost system. No pumps, but increased flow (most important and maintained pressure) .

[@jayg7889]

You're a great top class chippie Robin but please don't cross your arms at the mitre saw. 🙈

[@gdfggggg]

Proper job.

[@daves4026]

Great video more please.

[@MsElijah16]

Awesome, can't wait till part 2, the buildings over there have character, are u mic'd up? The sound was great

[@ukconstruction]

Hi Elijah, thanks for your message, I do have a new microphone and thank you for appreciating the sound!! Have a great weekend mate

[@DC-dp3hk]

Hi, love the video but it cuts off before you get to the roof and I can’t find a follow up.

[@wayneJohnsPhotographer]

Robin, Just what I needed to see... I was just contemplating adding a 12x6 shed extension onto the back of my block walled garage..... :) just need to figure out what kind of base to make, concrete or timber frame. Lol. Love watching your channel though, you’re a meticulous master. :)

[@jimbob6290]

That REG number :)

[@Hertog_von_Berkshire]

Lovin' this. I wouldn't know where to start.

[@tomsmith9048]

Level plum and square measure twice cut once you'd be surprised what you can achieve 🔨

[@88GraG]

Extend tape measure to around 10 inches and use it to point at various things around the site should do it

[@garethjames1907]

Nice van have you racked it out if yes do a video 👍👍👍👍

[@davetaylor4741]

Water in a tank in the UK getting too hot. I now live in Qld Australia but originated in Kent UK. I really live in the middle of nowhere hard to do in the UK. In all rural areas such as I live in nobody has town water at all it either falls out of the sky or you buy it by the tanker load. Everyone is on tank water and pumps for everything. You either have plastic tanks no insulation. Tin tanks no insulation or concrete tanks no insulation. They sit in full Aussie sun in temps up to 50C and everything below to the point we often have two hot taps. We use the water for everything there is nothing else. 35 degree min for plains ? When back in Kent I probably did nearly as much roof tiling as carpentry. I wouldn't worry about plains down to about 25 degrees and we have used them below that. Felted underneath never usually a problem. Same with Old Kents. If you look at some of the old Tudor style buildings with the huge cat slide pitches at the bottom they can be 10 to 15 degrees. and they sort of worked corked up originally with hay and later lime mix. Underlaid with modern felt we would strip and put them back no worries. Merging two pitches pretty easy up to 5 degrees difference as you can juggle the guages on the two pitches to get them to run around. Up to 10 degrees can be done in this way and after that you have to put what we used to call a pig tile in to fudge the courses. Your perfectionism will make it so easy for the roofer. Every trade would love to follow behind you because their work is cut in half.

[@RogerBurgess]

At least your boots have got good ventilation! Are they Stanley? Ariat would sponsor you, quality boot.

[@citizenphaid1880]

Love your videos as so informative. One question. Why is the the plastic mdf not the same width as the bottom frame timber…and does it not matter from a damp perspective?

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Can I ask what the product was you used for the damp proof - I need to source something like this. Brilliant channel and really helping with my new build.

[@thetallcarpenter]

What a great little job Robin. Sod working in the rain though. Did you have to dash back to all tools you had out and quickly try to cover them up, or lob em, uncearmoniously into the van?. 😵 Looking forward to seeing the roof pitched. 😎

[@ukconstruction]

You know it!! Working in the rain is awful!! I whack up the gazebo if it is set for the day!!! Oh like your last Video too about the moisture!! I worry about the same things yet most people don't give it a second thought!! Nice one Del 👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

Great video Robin very detailed information, can you suggest what concrete screws I can use to attach 4x2 to a concrete fence post please

[@ukconstruction]

HI Mate, here is a link to the suitable fixings amzn.to/3qoB46i hope that helps

[@ThomasMorleyceramics]

just wondering when you will have the deck tape available

[@daihedral9269]

Nice job. Seems ironic the job is to help sort out a problem with low water pressure and you're getting rained on in the process. What's the plastic plywood you are using as a DPC, and do you have to seal the cut edges?

[@timpercival9911]

Hi Robin. Love the videos. Your recording setup is great, do you wear a microphone? you can always hear your voice well, which is something I've struggled with on my videos. I'm really struggling with camera batteries too whilst trying to do a day's work🤯. Nothing like realising you've not been recording all afternoon!

[@fuzzyduc3222]

Awesome 😄

Great work Robin, how do you find the existing pitch of the roof? And the angle for the header plate

[@mercianheart8867]

Hi Robin, What type and brand of nails are using in your nail gun ?

[@Patrick_86]

Hi Robin! First of all I'm really enjoying your videos, it's very inspiring to see how you work! I have a detail question for you, I'm planning to build a garden room and I'm used to use screws. But for the size of work I want to use nails this time because I see it works much faster. Now the question, I see you use 45mm timber for the frame, and fix them with 3 nails. What length and diameter do you use? And also what material, steel/ galvanized steel? I hope you can reply. Keep up the nice work, and videos! Kind regards, Patrick (the Netherlands 🇳🇱)

[@ashleybrown3385]

Hi Robin, your an absolute joy to watch and think your professionalism is fantastic!!! What size timber did you use for the stud work in order to accommodate 100mm pir?
