Building Classic Oak Barns
By woodlandstv
Slow connection? Watch in lower quality
Here we see Andrew and some of his Classic Barn Company team - project manager Ben and craftsman Witold - as they share their passion for producing beautiful oak-framed garages. They are Accredited to The Guild of Master Craftsmen and the buildings they create reflect their care and attention to detail. Their pride in their work is obvious - from conception through to completion - as is their love of this traditional, reliable timber. http://www.classicbarns.co.uk An Adliberate film http://www.adliberate.co.uk for WoodlandsTV http://www.woodlands.co.uk/tv

That's unfortunate

It is. I would much rather here honesty and sincerity. There was one guy in this video that didn't sound like a car salesman reading from a script and even that was put on. The rest was just fluff. As a lesson in comparisons I suggest a watch of John Neeman's 'The birth of a wooden house' in the search bar above.
+true7005 oh! I meant that it was unfortunate you felt that Englishmen sound insincere!

It wasn't a blanket statement that should be applied to all,Only where it does.
I've seen way too many, documentaries, interviews, etc where something is being said to build up or be overly PC about any given subject in excessive detail which is supposed to make it sound like its this really important grandiose process when it actually isn't. In this case its "craftsman" instead of builders putting together a prefab, or soil testing for structural integrity on a building that's less than 1000sq/ft which is completely unnecessary(in most cases) if it isn't a road, bridge footing, or very large buildings. It may be code or a council requirement to test which is fine, in which case passing it off as "a step we are doing to take extra care for our customer" and waxing poetical about it is distasteful imo. That isn't an exclusive English trait by any means, I see it where I'm from too but I can steer the conversation or outright shut that down if needed. I just see it more often in English productions.
+true7005 gotya! I haven't noticed it myself so i'll keep an eye out. As an englishman I hope that it is something that is 'lost in translation'!
hay qua
Well when you see how Americans craft their buildings (MDF, pocket screws and a a million tacks) the way shown here is very much a craft
@The Classic Barn Company I could live in that barn!!! Thanks guys.
