Scarf Joint
In this Scarf Joint Episode of the Big Build Ed and Ollie have worked out their first set of rafters and cut this gable roof structure, They did really nicely and it was a perfect job, they are test driving my new simplified metric framing square and App. I am super proud of them!! I then took them through the scarf joint process and taught them how to set out a scarf joint in detail. The scarf joint is one of the nicest joints to do on site. it takes no time to do and no special tools are needed only a circular saw and a hand saw.
I am going to feature in more detail my simplified metric roofing square many other videos so keep an eye out for those

Hi Robin, I have been watching all of the videos in this series and it's time I made another few comments. I envy you having 3 young guys who want to work and to learn. I'd love to have some help who really want to be carpenters. I like showing, teaching, people all of the different ways to get a job done depending on the circumstances. I thought I was the only carpenter who still uses an ordinary handsaw these days. I do have a couple pull saws, but I still like the old style. I keep forgetting I'm 66 years old and try to work like I'm 46 and end up wearing myself out.

@willbee6785 2 года назад

Take me back. The only thing I would say & it’s minor. Cut the the end bit off the scarf joint first. It stops the saw plate rocking & rolling & allows the saw plate to sit flat. 👍 Great job & video as always.

@baraklazza1595 2 года назад

always hard going trying to plumb up a truss that way with no timbers in the middle @ 4.00 what i have found works really well is pinging a chalk line on the floor, example 100mm in from each end of fixed point of truss cord/ then find centre of truss sit a dot laser on your chalk line and use the dot laser to plumb up truss at apex being the same 100mm so accuarte and keeps roof so square :) we also use a dot laser to plumb up all external corners of studframe and internal frame work rather than a spirit level and my god its so much more accurate

The elusive pencil. Love to watch you make a scarf joint. But no walking on the edge of the finished timber.

@iantarncarpentry4285 2 года назад

Ever since I’ve put braces on my tool belt my back stopped hurting too. The tool belt without braces rests on your hips and it puts yours hip onto a Anterior Pelvic Tilt and that causes stress on the lower back muscles. Really enjoyed this video, I’m so glad you take time to make these, thank you. P.S when is your square coming out for sale?

@chrisgardner2597 2 года назад

Loved every second of this. RC you have a great coaching style, lucky lads. Why did the saw bind quite a lot when cutting that first joint? Just curious!

@ukconstruction 2 года назад

Well I mentioned as I was setting out about the unevenness of sawn timber and also how wet it was demonstrating that as the saw runs over it may bind, also the battery was running out, I should have checked that before I cut it!!

@09conrado 2 года назад

What if you'd cut the ends of that scarf joint at say 80 degrees or 75 instead of 90? Wouldn't that end up pulling the ends in tighter?

@ukconstruction 2 года назад

Tried that and it makes no major difference so we keep it 90 degrees, nice question...

@johnwinquist6916 2 года назад

I wonder if making the angle at the shoulders of the scarf joint somewhat less than 90 degrees wouldn’t lock the two pieces together better?

@ukconstruction 2 года назад

Not really John, the scarf joints main strength comes from the wedges and the long profile of the geometry, I have tried it with steeper shoulders but no real benefit, great question!!

@MelbourneAlan 2 года назад

you know you have a great teacher when this is your second video on this scarf joint and it is still interesting and have something to learn. could you do a video on your vicking arm . i would love to see what uses you come up with for it. just got mine today . all i can think about it is that i must buy another one,

@amazing451 2 года назад

The roof is starting to come together great and I can begin to understand it more now, however a cameraman would be an asset to your channel or just do a few close up shots to the more detailed parts yourself like how the ridge was positioned at the ends by Ollie and Ed at the start.

@ukconstruction 2 года назад

I would like to have a camera man!! In fact I have one starting to help me with my edits so watch this space!!

@pgaybrooks 2 года назад

Robin, do you work your rafters out mathematically (birdsmouts,, length, etc) or use a pattern? Eg if the rafter is 6x2 then we use a 4x2 to mark birdsmouth points (2/3 above plate using those 2 sections see) and transfer that onto to our 1st rafter. I prefer the 1st method but 2nd seems more foolproof in the real world....

We use screws to safely set it all up the we nail the structure together, if you look in the time lapse you will see Ed and Ollie doing exactly that, we only use a structural screw to

What doesn’t the truss manufacturer just laminate all the LVL’s together when they’re making the trusses? Seems more logical than screwing them together.

@najaneda 2 года назад

Because it would make them too heavy to manhandle into place.

@ukconstruction 2 года назад

If you watch the episode before this one I talk about that, we had no chance of a crane here so we fix them onsite to a nailing/fixing schedule supplied by the truss manufacturer
