In this episode of the Big Build we are forming the structural Gable studwork walls.
We are using a Studwork gable wall to support the new Lattice ridge boards that support the main roof structure
We are using 200 x 50 timbers to form the studwork as this will be super strong and allow for a good amount of insulation and a service void

Robin I’ve watched all your videos and have to say what a craftsman and credit to your trade you are.The young lads who work with you are getting a proper apprenticeship and will always look back and appreciate the knowledge your passing on. Keep the videos coming and all the best for future projects!

[@jackh9381]

I wish I had someone to teach me like rob 👍

[@tjarkworthmann105]

Watching you guys work is so satisfying to see! Thanks Robin and everybody on side for bringing this to YT and my attention... Greatings from germany and keep up the good work!

[@ukconstruction]

Your most welcome mate, have a great weekend

[@baraklazza1595]

man you know robin is a good builder when he has all sort of different jigs and templates. even the gable end off cut to measure the studs was a good idea. that separates a good builder to a average builder

[@darkviper62]

You can make mistakes with jigs mate easy done it’s your over view that must be superior.

[@justicecase19]

Robin I doff my cap. This is an education for 99% of chippies I've come across, and that includes myself. Take it easy mate.

[@ukconstruction]

Cheers mate!!!

Awesome Robin😎 Paper beats Rock, but Rock Paper now beats scissors👊

[@-abigail]

One of the things I haven't seen remarked on before is your excellent communication on site. Such an underrated construction skill. You'd be a pleasure to work with!

[@BillyMustang101]

I love roof carpentry in the UK. Its my favourite part of the job. Working in Germany is so different and boring with most roofs cut on a cnc and you are just screwing it together. Even green oak framing is cut on the cnc. The skill is in the CAD design and programming.

[@harveysmith100]

From a bricklayer this is fascinating to watch. We have normally been slung off the job by this stage. I have the same Leica tape, other bricklayers are so un-trusting of it until I prove how accurate it is. I also have a Leica laser which you would think is a must for a bricklayer but many don't want to change with the times.

[@Mushyboy007]

I saw those eye’s, fancy leaving the saw like that, glad to see Ollie has put his shorts on, only Andy staying true to shorts so far!

[@johnmorrissey1675]

Like the electronic tape thingy 😁 the Lazer makes laying out so much easier and spot on 👍🇮🇪☘️👋☺️

[@tonynewton7902]

Great work as always Robin. Also great to see a true tradesman still using 240v when he needs to. 👍👍

[@therealdojj]

lovely job neat as ,done 2 years app joiner 30 yrs ago ,tools nowadays are awesome , youngsters dont know there living ,try saw everything with a hand saw ,thats why old school boys are the dogs

[@Ainsalude]

This video came at the perfect time. I'm about to stud my first gable wall and couldn't find any videos on setting out and measuring studs on HIGH walls like the one I'm working on. This did the job a treat - such quality explanation as always. Thank you. Would be cool to know the best way to get accurate measurements without the laser, using a normal tape though.

[@TechOne7671]

Excellent craftsmanship there mate, superb job. When using 110v tools keep the transformer inside and use 110v extensions. The idea of the 110v system is to keep the mains voltage off the site/work area,by using a 240v extension and putting the tranny outside you are defeating the purpose of it. The 110v is centre tapped so is only 55v to earth, much safer than 240. All the best.

[@tlangdon12]

I love the use of the laser plumb line and Leica, and the accuracy you acheived with the stud work. Impressive! I also like that you took the time to measure the actual gap that each stud had to fill rather than taking the shortcut of deducting 600mm to get each successive stud length. Fantastic work.

[@peterbell4154]

Thanks Robin.👍 Another great video, you need a good team around you sometimes and you have just that.

[@shaunglendinning]

Great video Lads! Truly enjoyable to watch, and learn. Thanks for sharing.

Purchased a diamondback pouch recently also robin very comfy with good back support very happy 👌

[@robertmorris5214]

Another fantastic video

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

Nice work Robin 👌that one ime on is 8.7m wide probably why they whent for Attic Trusses 👍

[@royordway9157]

I use a Construction Master calculator to figure gable stud lengths. It works well if the plate is level, and the rafter is fairly straight. I'd guess they can work with metric as well as imperial. I mostly use it for stairs though.

[@EastYorkshireCraftsman]

Robin, you the man!

[@1983alex]

Got the same measurement to the mm 🤯 brilliant

[@BillyMustang101]

All the PU foam showing from the joints is messing with my OCD. I just want to scrape it off 🤣

[@davetaylor4741]

Nice to see big timbers. I put my roof on the other day. 7.5 M wide x 13 M long double hipper. All trussed out of usual match wood. All up in a day with three of us. 7.5M wide tiny by Aussie standards. I think 17.5M about the biggest domestic span I have done. No interior load bearing walls they fully span. Now I can't get roofers because they can't get scaffolding. A lot done here with basically strap on hanging scaffold. Very envious of the tube and fit behind you. Never seen it in Qld. And now experiencing one of the wettest November's in history. Everything soaked. Isn't building grand.

[@Ragnar8504]

I had a bit of a chuckle too - the typical 1900s Austrian city house is around 11 m deep, usually with the stairs jutting out the back somewhere. Width varies obviously but it's typically a multiple of about 4.5 m as the standard room was usually some variation of 4 m wide by 5 m deep, give or take 50 cm. There's always a load-bearing centre wall but that has a whole load of chimneys built into it, one flue for the front and back rooms on each floor. The roofs are usually works of art, intricate structures framed with massive beams, sometimes including turrets and other fancy details. Of course nowadays all that gets modified and hidden behind plasterboard as lofts get converted left and right.

[@thetessellater9163]

Just at the tail end there, it looked like the second trussed ridge was not up to the ridge board above? How did you deal with that, Robin?

[@RI-uv3lm]

Was wondering about the same 👍

[@seanmcguire833]

Wondered that too

[@Mr13147]

Does it make a difference?

[@khansk36]

Appreciated as usual Thanks

[@heffo1992]

Love your videos but why do you guys not wear basic PPE like high vis, hard hat, gloves and glasses? Could save one of you guys one day!!

[@antonyporter5045]

great video keep em coming

[@darrennicholson9004]

I bought the Leica a few months back after watching one of your other videos and it’s an absolute game changer! I’ve just got the new 3 plane laser from Milwaukee too and it’s incredible how it improves the accuracy of your work on a day to day basis. Thanks for another great video robin

[@gregorymacneil2836]

Not sure the Lieca is actually anymore a luxury than a laser level is today. If you are working alone it is speedy and an easy ROI with or without the apps that go with it. How many boards do you have to cut too short for the Leica to pay for itself? I have used the handheld disto for almost 20 years - amazing tools! The Leica Apps really add value and speed

[@gregorymacneil2836]

I should add - that I have studied measurement and productivity. Unless accessibility is an issue it is usually faster to use a good Stanley tape on anything less than 10 feet that can be “Hocked”with the tape end. To match the speed of the Leica on longer distances you need three people - two to manage the tape and one to “book” the measurements. So the ROI on the Leica is really amazing

[@michaelplays2449]

Great video, thanks

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

More top tips from 2foot the chippie and the giants of the Clevett Clan 🤣👍👍👍. Ignore the note pad made from rock, nothing new there, Fred Flintstone had those! 🤣🤣

[@ukconstruction]

Awesome comment!!

[@johnwilliams-sc1vf]

I was confused with the the last vid. I have always known Ashlar walls as the finest dressed stone used on mansions etc. , so when did the terminology become used for dwarf walls in the roof construction ?

[@TheToolnut]

Indeed, a dwarf wall, knee wall or pony wall in my experience 👍🔨🇮🇪

[@robertbamford8266]

Same confusion. From comments in this vid I think R. Is referring to the masonry wall he is building on top of.

[@jwatkins123]

I'm curious what would happen if you tried to cut your rock-paper notebook with a scissors, because normally scissors cuts paper, but we all know rock beats scissors...

[@ukconstruction]

Love that Joe!! Nice comment mate

[@peefor135]

When you cut the longest studs, you 'sighted' along each one to put them round a particular way.. If it had been a rafter, obviously the bow would be upwards, but unsure on a vertical wall which way round you would put them, or do they alternate? Fantastic work as always.

[@ukconstruction]

Its a habit!! I will still look for the straightest lengths to cut the longest from etc, thanks for your comment too!!

[@DICEGEORGE]

Why's there a hoizontal gap between the 2 ridges at 20:49 ? Did you fill the gaps with thin bits of wood?

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Awesome

[@jimmybrown9349]

Was it Brighton Rock Robin ??. As always a great job.

[@mh3104]

Hi Brilliant video as always. Just one question what is the harness that you wear the tool belts please can you put a link-up. Many thanks keep the videos coming.

[@amazing451]

Hi Robin and gang, the roof is looking great, how come when fitting the studs that form the window opening you fit the back ones first, I would have thought you'd form the actual size needed for the opening checking it's all plumb and straight?

[@kierandoherty1600]

The outer 'king' studs go first. Inner studs support the window/door heads

[@phillipbaker2237]

Hi Robin...what is the laser level you are using that shoots the plumb line?

[@ukconstruction]

I reckon it is one of the Milwaukee lasers that we would have been using here

[@phillipbaker8811]

Okay will have a look...thanks

[@qwertyuiop124172]

Hello Robin, Great precision. I would like to buy laser plumb and laser distance devices. If you can please send me the details, it will be great. You have great team. Wish you all the best. I love your style and accuracy. Best wishes from Leicester ENGLAND Ahmed

[@JimiJo]

Robin, you are so laidback, I would like to know, do you ever loose your shit?

[@nagranoth_]

16:38 "cut once, fits once" ? That's not how that works Robin. It's "Measure Twice, Cut Once, Then Force It To Fit"

[@chrisclausen6587]

Why not use a laser measure, I prefer the Bosh, to get the gable end wall stud heights? That way you do not need to spend the time getting to the top of the wall to measure.

[@ukconstruction]

Chris are you sure you watched this video in detail?? I use the Leica Disto and explained why I use it in this instance??

[@chrisclausen6587]

@@ukconstruction Yes I did watch. Excellent video as always. Always enjoy your channel!! You used a laser level. I was referring to a Bosh Blase Laser measurer. I use it so I do not have to get on a ladder to measure the height. Just place the base of the laser on the sill plate and point it to your ceiling joist at the high point of the cut. Accurate to within 1/16 of an inch (think it's 1.57mm).

[@TheToolnut]

@@chrisclausen6587 Robin did the same thing only inverted. I would have used the laser measure from the bottom plate to the long point.

[@chrisclausen6587]

@@TheToolnut Thanks I totally missed that!!!! I like his top down measure instead of doing it from the base plate. I figured he had it mastered. He is very precise and always very organized. I aspire to do his quality of work.
