  • My ‘Go To’ for Carpentry & Joinery.

    Thank you Robin for years of useful, interesting and entertaining content. My favourite podcasts have actually been when you’ve had no guests on and instead spoken of your own experiences in the trade. I’ve found your words to be honest, down to earth and although very informative, the thing I’ve taken most from them is the lift in confidence they have given me in my own work. Working as a sole trader in this industry myself, it’s encouraging when I can identify with the words of someone who has... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Happens When You Come Off the Tools?
Q: What advice would you give a 40-year-old tradesman who is established but has never started a pension and thinks it is too late?
Jack Auletta says to start saving, think realistically about retirement age and put money into a pension or another investment, because trade skills may not be saleable after retirement.
What Happens When You Come Off the Tools?
Q: What's the big thing someone with your age or without a family like you have should start doing to be more responsible about the prospect of retiring?
Danny Madden advises putting away whatever amount is manageable, saving windfalls and considering an investment ISA that can be left untouched for several years.
Are Modern Buildings Making Life Harder for Carpenters?
Q: Have you worked on a job where modern materials or membranes or other building systems have made what should have been a straightforward carpentry job much harder?
Jason Joyce says requirements can vary between local authorities, including different approaches to plastic layers and insulation in warm roofs. He finds that guidance is not always clear and changes may only be communicated after work is completed.
Are Modern Buildings Making Life Harder for Carpenters?
Q: How important is it for a carpenter to understand how the whole building works rather than just their own part of the job?
Tim Philips says carpenters do not need to master every trade, but should understand how their work affects the building's performance and the trades that follow. Small defects can undermine airtightness and lead to expensive retesting, repairs and delays.
Robin Clevett Answers Your Carpentry Questions: Tools, Pricing, Vans & Traditional Skills
Q: James D. Do you measure everything or are there situations where you just work from experience?
The host explains that he sometimes skips measuring in setups like laying out saw plates to speed up work, relies on marking off the offcut between studs, and uses intuition developed through practice to maintain accuracy.
