@@rm9719 when using the plate to run along a guide, having two saws that are opposites allows you to always be on the correct side to run the saw along a guide. also for visibility of the cut line aswell.

[@karenanderson7873]

Awesome job! Been watching you on here like a hawk for weeks and I'm now brave enough to make a start, so....I'm going to build a 24X 12 shed/cabin/whatever (yes, permitted development) on 15 concrete block piers using 2x4s for the beams everywhere, doubled on the base edges, DPC etc. 18mm OSB, breather membrane, PIR, featheredge cladding and finally EPDM, presuming I can find a way to haul it on top! (I'm on it!). Have I gone wong anywhere please? Do I actually need 6x2s for the base edge? Fankee!

[@ukconstruction]

Hi, sounds like you have a plan, couple of points, make sure that your floor joists are strong enough to span the maximum distance so for example for the full 12ft span you would need an 2 x 8 minimum at 400 centres or maybe 2 x 9 at 600 centres if you split the span in the centre then you could go down to a 2 x 6, you can use a thinner sheathing on the outside of your stud walls so half inch OSB is good there, then a 1 inch counter batten to allow for ventilation behind your featheredge cladding, breather membrane is a good idea and on the inside a vapour barrier after you have insulated, hope that helps, have a good day!!

Another fantastic job Robin! I am curious however, it didn’t appear that you used a clamp for the Metabo rail. Is that just because you are a master carpenter and don’t need it? 😂

It come with a type of none slip material that doesn't always need a clamp 🔨

[@noahleno]

@@tomsmith9048 Thanks for the answer ✌🏻

[@I-am-not-a-number]

Robin, I am sure that the length of rafter is as arc from the top of the ridge to the birdsmouth, not measured to the back of the rafter and squared down.

[@ukconstruction]

No mate thats a direct measurement method, I use true math that is the measurement along the top edge that is the angle per m of Run depending on the pitch, if you measure from the point to corner of birds mouth it won't fit!! More to come in video soon!!

[@I-am-not-a-number]

​@@ukconstruction I will use the maths! Run of rafter is a very traditional method but more of a guestimate, not a measurement.

[@tomsmith9048]

He measured from the top of the plumbcut of ridge to the top of the plumbcut outside of wallplate there's no guesswork in any way shape or form you might be confusing it with the geometric line worked out in pythagoras theorem but I was thought the same way top of plumbcut to top of plumbcut I just don't use the rise and run method hope that helps 🔨

Neat and sweet as usual. My only question is finish nails holding the boards on. Largest finish nail is 15 gauge which you can get galvy but exposed on a door front. Even T nails which are bigger are banned for this sort of fixing in Oz as they decay too quick. If I didn't want face fixing showing I would screw from the back. Just don't see the longevity.

Everybody is in a hurry to save money, no time to pilot and countersink 100 stainless screws that are 20c versus, half a minute each, vs. shooting nails that are 0,2c in 2 seconds.

[@micdev42]

I’m not a carpenter but all I would say is that whenever you see an old knackered shed / outbuilding it’s not the nails that are the problem - it’s the cladding that has rotted! I won’t be worrying about the nails…

[@davetaylor4741]

​@@micdev42I am a Carpenter for over 40 years. Your old knackered shed wouldn't have been mailed with finish nails. Hence it stayed together long enough to rot. Finish gun nails like this will rust out in months. Long before the timber has even aged. Big difference.

did you cut the wrong side off 27.36 as just before you had one piece lent against the table saw then next second there was two ! great video, but would have liked to see the roof cut into the old one

Hi Robin - can you explain the additional length you added beyond the birds mouth - as when they were installed they look to be around 350mm but in the cutting way longer? thanks

Hi Darren, my client originally wanted the eves level, we had a higher wallplate to accommodate the water tanks so once I fitted them they decided to have them the same length as the original and we adjusted them in situ!! Well spotted, you are the first person!!
