Simple straight cuts with a circular saw. Carpentry tips 

Brilliant Rob, good to see that you didn’t jump cut out your tongue twisters. If you need a 62 year old apprentice give me a shout. 😊

Just a big big tip , never ever lend you circle to anybody , not even your brother as I can show you a tenant of mine that lost his finger because his did not realise how power full it was and now he is suing the person that lent it to him : so tell your mates , avoid lawyers at all cost , try to cut with hand saw , it’s great exercise, I could cut two sheets of 8 x4 three-quarter ply eight foot way with out stoping by hand , try this on site , it’s great fun , love your channel,

This man is a goldmine of invaluable information. I spent 45 yrs in the trade and he has got little tricks up his sleeve that I knew nothing about.

Great tips as always

Great Stuff Robin!!

Clear simple and practical as always!

Great video Rob

Couldn't make it simpler if you tried Robin.🤩 Great tips there mate. Nice to see you have been out side in the lovely late winter sunshine, and hope you had a nice little inside job the day after.👍

Thank you Robin. That's a fantastic tip on how to rip down sheet goods. 👍

Fantastic Tradesman, seen many of he's videos

Great tip #nice & quick

Robin is really skilled tradesman, its enjoyable to watch his videos 👍

Thanks chap. Was really strugglin today.

Good stuff! Thanks 🙏

Another great video as always Robin. Simple but effective tips and always well explained. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next one.

Easy when you know how! Great video as always!

Nice to see a fellow pro using the same techniques ... I'm sure I'd learn a thing or 2 working with Robin !

Thanks for the speedy dispatch on the hinge jig that I bought robin I received it in Monday and have done a load of doors since. Yeah I could have made one myself but I couldn't be bothered tbh and thought one looked well made so I took the plunge. Thanks! 👍😃

stellar demo Robin! thanks always. appreciate you take the time to make these. shout out to your camera person toooo

Top job mate

That is very useful. Thanks

Just spent all day cutting rips with a 45° on both sides using this method. Good demo👍

Thanks Robin for taking your time to show the tip mate.

Loving the window cleaning ladder. 3 points better than 4!

Been looking at buying a new circular saw. Keen on the hikoki corded circular saw. Seeing as you've had 1 for so long no better proof than that! Thanks for as always the great detailed videos! Its like a magician revealing his secrets hahaha...

excellent

Do the same myself 👍👋🍀🇮🇪👏 good to share the knowledge ☺️

Hi Robin great video as ever. I love power tools and I’ve got plenty but when you said you’ve got “dozens” of circular saws I nearly fell over!

Use of straight edge is key to carpenters training, good skilly comes with time and preference, great video Rob

Definitely one of the most skilled carpenters out there absolutely love the channel always a pleasure watching your videos mate so much to learn from you and the team thank you 👏

8:30 Tell me about it. I was out doing my comp decking in a t-shirt yesterday. Bloody lovely ☀️

as always great informative video Robin, i'm taking on a self build garden office in my back garden this year, and one of the things I am really struggling with is how to finish a simple pitched roof, I can design the 25% pitch, work out the rafters and birds mouth etc, but as the ends are gable, I am struggling with how how and where you finish the things like fascias on the front and back and the side gable pitches, allowing for osb 3, protective layer then felt shingles so it all finishes properly for venting and overhangs in the right places front and back to allow water into the gutter - if any of your jobs mean you are finishing a simple gable roof I would love to follow along andf see how you work that all out and know what to order and how to trim it down appropriately.

you make it look so easy ...

I believe you are the best joiner on RU-vid and the most passionate carpenter thanks for all your videos

“Nothing a hammer can’t sort out!” True. Thanks for the video.

I've got the same Hitachi with a diablo blade mr Robin, useful on deep angles but heavy

“We like to travel light with site work, minimal tools to carry in plus move if raining”. Proceeds to start demo with 3 circular saws

I am a rip fence guy. My last saw didn't even come with one but made one up. I even weld up extended ones so I can Wizz down the middle of a board.

Hi Robin, hope you are well. Always enjoy your videos and learn a lot too. How about a video on expanding foam, hints and tips, etc. Thoroughly enjoyed the grab adhesive video. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

Hi robin you need to get the extended magazine for the milwaukee nail gun it's a game changer love the videos every day a school day 👍

Ive just finished a job with 7 oak doors. your hinge jig worked class. combined with making a rod it made it so much quicker. id never actually done it that way before. cheers for that

Nice, simple and easy to follow tips 👍 any news on a couple copies of your square in steel going up for sale?!

Watch and learn...interested to see what roof covering is applied..got a similar project coming up.

I enjoy your videos, always very informative. May I ask why framing hammers have such a long shaft?

Hi Robin great video as always, I’m your opinion what is better to use, a rear handle or top handle circular saw? I have been thinking of getting a rear handled saw for a while now

Cant wait for summer when it gets hot and you get to show off those guns again

I watched this to find a really good reason to use a circular saw instead of a track saw... i.e. it's SO much quicker, or you don't have to bring a rail / straight edge around with you. But I didn't find that reason... I still love my basic dewalt track saw with crap blade and 3 tracks for doing most of this stuff. But then, I really can't cut straight...

Subscribed robin, great to watch & us wood butchers can always learn something, keep up the good work, you're nailing it,nailing it 😂🙈

What do you think about Milwaukee vs Hikoki circular saws? And what do you think about the stud tape measure?

i picked up a USED RIDGID 7 1/4" Circular saw for $ 70 CAD Few Years BACK AMAZING QUALITY 120v Corded just Recently Picked up a 20V DEWALT CORDLESS 6 1/4 " Brushed - Works Amazing and Light

Slightly odd question robin but what work trousers are those you have on?

Robin, your showing the prototype you naughty boy! Hope your keeping well. Great vids as always.

Robin, would you use Osb rather then ply, thanks

Wish i'd seen this earlier as i've just splashed out on a guide rail!

Robin do you get use to the weight of the Milwaukee nailer felt so heavy when I looked at it? Great vid will be listening Monday on fix radio app aswell👍

Lovely work Robin, looks like there is a window cleaner missing their ladder!

Great stuff. Please, more of the same

Hi Robin, the feather edge cladding on the garden room looks especially great here with the sun out. It seems to have a sheen on it it? i know you've said it's tanalised cladding but have you applied an oil finish or something since fixing it ? It would be great to hear what you would recommend. I've got a similar project coming up.

Robin, will you teach us what symbols you use for marking? 4:00 You marked the machined the board. You marked it with?

Dude, did I see you in South Devon on Tuesday? If not, you have a doppelganger..

Used to knock up a poor man's rail saw shown it when I was an apprentice. 8ft length say around 500mm. Screw a batten or a strip of board about 2/3s in onto the wider board. Then run one edge of whichever saw I was using down one edge then run the other edge of the saw down the other edge of the fixed on strip. Worked a treat, was shown that along with this off set straight edge. On a separate note when are planning on parting with your hard earned money and getting a new nail pouch? #diamondbackalltheway.

setting up the blade with the battery on... good to go ^_^

Can you share the lay-up detail of that roof, I'm about to cover my purlin garage roof, never thought of OSB first, would you use a membrane? And do you fix the profile sheet straight onto the osb into the purlin? Thanks in advance.

Id just use that big corded saw and rip all 5 sheets in 1 sitting. How do you find that rear handle saw ? Thinking of getting one

Hi Robin, can you tell us what tool pouch that is..Thanks

How many lengths did you cut on a single battery Robin? I have the same saw but I’ve hardly used it for sheet goods.

Great video always nice to see basic tools used at peak accuracy. Please can I enquire what cordless table saw you would recommend for basic ripping jobs as my mains one has finally died and I'm in the market for another one.

Robin. What model is that Milwaukee saw?

how do you or people in the comments find the milwuakke framing nailer when working, i've recently bought it but have yet too use it, i noticed its abit heavy

In struggling to decide which side blade will be more convenient for me

Square the sheets up ,set the depth of the saw for the number of sheets to be cut,fix the straight edge 👍🏻done

Hi Robin, great video as always - you mention “it’s all about the blade” what blades doe you recommend? Thanks you

👍

👌What make of tool bags are them Robin cheers

is that a first fix nailer with 90 mm nails for the osb is that a bit much ?

What nail bag do you wear I have a occidental on a buckaroo belt like essential craftsman

Put 4 sheets together use 9 1/4 makita bosh job done

Very good idea, I know the inside/outside measurements of my saws but that looks quicker, how long is your hammer?! and what weight?

What gauge and length nails are you shooting there?

That ladder is cooked haha

we had the rain

They scare me and I don't own one.. but they look so useful

Kreg rip cut?

Checking the blade depth with your fingers is a bad habit mr. Clevett! Thanks for the video!

Wow how to cut a sheet of osb straight, mind boggling

👍🤓👍

Van tour ?

Thaught you was a hikoki man or are milwaukee sending free tools now. My milwaukee didn't last

1:35 OSB and in the back, more OSB

Are you getting much recoil from that gun? Nail guns usually kill my tennis elbow.

Why you never use dewalt 54v saw?

Keep two hands on your saw if you're not an expert like Robin and always clamp your timber

Um. Who was just about to say sh...ed loads then eh? :-p

are those Ear Phones NOISE CANCELING ?

great video ,,but HSE would have a field day lol

If a circular saw is so versatile, why do you need dozens? Only carry one to a job, but show 3 for the demo ?

well done Robin, I um unsubscribed from skill builder channel, they became sort of arrogant....

Still can't see the Geoengineering going on above your head eh ?

Thing is you have to be careful with this machine and learn more safety. They can kickback and even cut of your body parts easily, keep the spinning blade away from your hands or legs.

Why not gang-cut multiple sheets? Just tack 4-6 sheets together and let 'er rip. Not building a piano...
