Cladding.How to Cut Angles Cladding or Siding

[@carpnotes4607]

Robin Your diminish method for cutting siding for gable ends is brilliant; best tip I've seen on KZbin in quite awhile. Thanks for the tip, mate.

[@Tomoose1985]

I know I say this on most of your videos, but you're a class act Robin, the real deal, a joy to watch and so generously sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you!

[@ragnarmarnikulasson3626]

I must say Robin, by far the most informative channel on youtube. thank you for sharing all of this knowledge.

[@MegaSpender]

I did 3 years at college doing wood work. Ive done it since i can remember. Always been good with tools. Shame that when i finished college we were in the ressesion, never ever got into the trade, not enough experience on the field. Love watching your vids robin. Calm relaxing and just plain and simple explinations of the job at hand. Id love to work with you for a week to get some knowledge. Thanks for the time and effort you put into helping others.

Robin - love your video's. English is a Universal language but different expressions in different Countries mean different things ha ha. I loved the comments ,below, about whacking off. I didn't blink an eye, it's a common expression in Australia. ha ha. My Daughter is a Comedian and she brought the house down on a recent tour of the UK with common expressions from Australia.

And just because there is a difference in the words used, because I currently live in the San Joaquin Valley of California, what is most important is the sharing of the art of carpentry and that is a fascinating universal skill shared throughout all cultures.

[@muirallie]

Be careful getting angle on bevelled boards. Always do it with boards your using and scrib in place. If you use just an adjustable bevel to get angle of top of the last board it’ll be off as it doesn’t account for the bevel his cladding has. As in bottom of board is away from battens and the top is against battens. Do it as Robin has scribed exactly with board in its final fixed position when scribing. If you did it sitting fully on top and not on the spacers it will be wrong angle. Gotta use the spacers. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@pasla101]

Hi Robin as always 10/10 vid . Please don’t edit videos to much as its nice to see pros sometimes not pros ie looking for that blunt pencil or needing that last cut at end of the day and battery’s dead 😭 nice to see comments coming from our friends aboard adding new angles to the way we carpenters work in uk

You can use the full headed nails in the hikoki, it says to use the clipped ones but we get provided the full ones and it fires them all day long

[@MrSmid888]

Robin if you’ve a minute to answer this question, if you were doing a stud wall against a stone wall, what materials would you use because we’re getting conflicting info with regards to vapour membrane or no membrane. My idea of it was this, in order from the inside of the room to the stone wall, skim plaster, plaster board, CLS stud work with kingspan , vapour membrane on back of stud work , at least 25mm air gap. Stone wall. My uncle’s original stud work and plaster has zero insulation and no vapour membrane. Since 1987. He’s had no issues apart from a small bridge near the skirting, probably snots and debris. He wants to re do it as he’s the time, (retired mechanic) but he’s getting told one thing of a builder then another of a plasterer. He’s well capable of the work we just aren’t sure the best materials and the order they go in. I’ve seen vapour put on the inside of studs. It’s all confusing for a pretty basic job. Cheers

I remember the days when other spreads would turn up on site with their 'gadgets', their generators, and leads running every which-way. It used to take them half an hour to set up and another half hour to pack away again. They Stiiiill took longer to knock up a bucket of plaster or a bath of Hardwall than it took me with a plunger and a rake :-) ...........

Merry Christmas Robin . What work trousers are you wearing.

[@thejtizzel]

I take it if you were using cladding that lipped in together say shiplap or something, as you couldn’t change board size or coverage you’d workout a cut at the top or bottom or would you do this prior with building height so you wouldn’t have to....

[@keanMechanic]

Hi Robin what type and size of nail are you using to fix the cladding. Great vids as always.

[@bigsparks8992]

What size / type of nails did you use Robin? Stainless? I've got a load of 20mm siberian larch to do and thinking of using lost head stainless screws but will be lot more time consuming with screws

[@ukconstruction]

I would go for a stainless steel nail, you can get them for all nail guns and also loose for hand nailing, they are not much more expensive than a decent quality galvanised nail but you will have no unforeseen issues!!

Still trying to work out the technique with the diminish thingy .

[@alexbekele8945]

Same that went over my head a bit.

[@neilrafferty2097]

Alex Bekele We’ll study it later and try and make some sense of it .

[@olafbigandglad]

Basically the idea is if the piece is level, and the angle or pitch where the end of the boards meet the soffit remains the same, the difference in length from one piece to the next will always be the same. It's also called the law of common difference.

[@olafbigandglad]

Also assuming the reveal from one board to the next is consistent.

[@ballinderry]

Hi Robin, can I ask what method you would use for shiplap cladding as the next length up has to go higher first in order to then sit down onto the length below it?

[@ukconstruction]

Hi Jim, This is difficult when you are cutting under or against raking sides, it is virtually impossible to try to do it in one length, the only way is to have equal cuts on the left and the right away from the under soffit and then fit a square ended piece between between them!!! some people cut the rebate off the back!!!

[@ballinderry]

@@ukconstruction Cheers. Such a comprehensive answer. I might consider cutting the rebate off as I reach the final few lengths - which will be short and have more protection from the weather under the eaves anyway. New subscriber!

Hi there, I am wondering about the lumber. Where is the lumber from. Does England still have forests to harvest lumber? Is the the cladding imported ?

[@ukconstruction]

Hi Ernie, we do have plenty of timber ranging from beautiful home grown hardwoods to faster grown construction softwoods, but most of the lumber used in every day construction comes from overseas mainly Scandinavia, and some from Canada I'm not an expert on this particular subject and maybe others may add to my comments? Thanks for watching mate

[@tonyalways7174]

We’re still paying the price from a tax scam 40 years ago that paid investors to plant up huge forests of fast growing low grade pine trees at the expense of natural woodland. They are densely planted sterile forestry blocks with almost no wildlife and really poor grade pine because the trees are planted so closely together that they are stunted and weak. Slowly they’re being ripped down and replanted with native species that will not only look better and encourage wildlife but will also produce better timber. Of course that will take a generation at least before the woodlands are in a state to produce significant volumes of timber sustainably. Hence most softwood comes from Scandinavia or Eastern Europe and hardwoods either from the USA or Asia mostly. We’re now being hit with another tax scam driven by misguided environmentalists that means timber is more likely to be turned into chips or pellets for commercial heating systems than being sawn for construction or manufacturing. We’re a bit slow to learn in UK at times.

[@tonyalways7174]

@SuperVHSchannel the ability for businesses to offset the cost of installing pellet burning heating systems in commercial premises against their tax as well as receive grants for using timber pellets. In both Northern Ireland and Scotland it became so profitable for companies that some started heating empty premises. In Northern Ireland the ‘ash for cash’ scandal led to the collapse of the govt after First Minister Arlene Foster (who designed the scheme) refused to resign. That sort of incentive isn’t available to residential premises only commercial sites and so only businesses with enough cash to pay the initial set up could afford to benefit from the scam. As a result of these schemes timber/lumber is more profitable as pellets for burning than wood for building.

[@frazzle657]

Is there a similar technique for the reverse. As in if you're cladding the side of a dorma as you're cuts are getting longer.

[@ukconstruction]

Yes there is its the same technique
