Had you not said that this build was 20 years ago, I could easily believe that it had just been completed. A beautiful church building conversion.

“Becky is pretty good at interior design”? I’d say she is brilliant and together you are a brilliant team. The evidence of this is that conversion is 20 years and it still looks brand new.

Said this before, but this channel is so much more than carpentry/building. What a great building and beautiful sentiment with it. Can feel the love for your craft in every video, but more so your beautiful family in this one. Fantastic mate. Be proud of what you e achieved in life

Stunning, what a privilege it must of been to be a custodian of such a building and bring it into the modern world. Fantastic. Great work as always Robin 👍

My goodness! This is a masterpiece! I just love it when people give a lot of thought to symmetry!

Craftsmanship is beautiful. What a building, it's stunning.

I am lost for words... Absolutely breathtaking! You are a legend Robin!!!!

Thank you Robin for inviting us into your world with your teaching videos and your lovely nature and for helping some of us sharpen our DIY skills. You are truly a gentle person. Thanks to Becky for the great support to you as well. Wish I could have you doing my house up after finishing my mortgage in 2 years' time.

Another enjoyable video (can't believe I watched the whole Big Build series). Great to hear about how this was a family & friends project.

Love it Robin! The perfect centre line from the garden room all the way through the garden hits all my buttons! :-) I did a similar thing with the internal lights and doorways all lining up too. These things are important! A quality build Robin, very impressed. It looks almost brand new.

What an an Awesome story and project, just wow

Is lovely to see the pride that you still have for this build - like everything you do, it looks fantastic

beautiful job and all credit to your missus on the interior design clearly she was ahead of her time

Robin that is a truly amazing job, as with all your work your attention to detail shines through 👌👍

Building has aged really well, looks great. Same can't be said for those highlights in robins hair 20 years ago 🤣

Super Robin! Good quality like that is does not suffer the perils of modern fads, beautiful work. Love the centre line!

That is just wonderful! The attention to detail is perfect and that garden room and the garden is the cherry on top. Everything just ticks all the boxes!

Fantastic looking build and thanks for the info with it 👍

That was and still is a real work of art. I love your attention to detail in the design and production and even more so, the fact that you’re family benefitted from living and growing there. Thanks for sharing it.

Really stunning work Robin, such beautiful features all over the build, you must be so proud of this build. You are a true master craftsman and I totally have great respect for you and your creative wife who did such a fantastic job on the interior design.

You and your Mrs make a great team Robin, im seriously impressed on your craftsmanship, and how modern and clean everything still looks after 20 years.

Wow, what a transformation. You both have a great vision. The care, attention to detail and quality work is timeless.

This build is out of this world! …. But I’m not sure you needed to wear your moon boots 😂😉

Excellent video Robin

Great work and great to be able to look back at how good a job u did and how well you kept it over the years you go look after you stuff

Hey Rob, thanks for sharing this. Unbelievable quality to your work, the fact it still looks new 18 years on is testament to your skills and knowledge. I cannot even begin to imagine what your current house looks like! Appreciate thats personal and being lives in but would love to be nosey. Have a great weekend 👍

Excellent! 👍

Really look forward to seeing your videos, especially when it’s a completed walk through, it’s good to see your not the only joiner that’s thinks about every aspect of his job and it’s a family run business all the best ones are my friend, look forward to your next video, keep up the good work.👍🖖🏼

Superb job, I can understand the emotional attachment. For a small garden it's exceptional. I loved the Ironwork on the stairs, made a great feature.

Everything.... just beautiful.

Extraordinary and glorious!! Thanks for a tour of this fantastic space. Outstanding work Robin. Hope your weekend is a great one!

You are very proud & rightly so.....what you have shown is a great achievement & it is very beautiful. I am a chippy myself & I am on your wavelength.

Nice to have one like this in the bank to look back at. Well done 👍

Very young looking Robin , great idea about the center line on things , not a easy job to convert a old church to a dwelling, but you've certainly got it right and after 18/20 years it still looks as if you just finished it last week , very impressed well done 👍🇮🇪☘️👋👏

Timeless, classy and simply beautiful.

Goes to show Rob, classic style, attention to detail and quality work, never goes out of date mate! Surprised to see a kite and winders on that stair though ;)

This man always amazes me.

Thanks for sharing this Robin, the landscaping looks great too

Brilliant work! 😊

I want to be like Robin. His eye for detail is second to none.

What an amazing place and your pride and passion shines with out that its difficult Robin. You should be proud of an amazing transformation very very nice place . Justin brickright 👍

What amazes me is that you have this love adn passion for so many elements of yoru craft. This is such a beautiful building and as a true master craftsman you spill ou toyur appreciation for those who help with your journey. Your work is just beautiful, stay proud mate.

Beautiful then and now stunning. Robin, you are star....... Best wishes from Leicester ENGLAND.

Truly amazing, looks like it was done yesterday, excellent 👍👍

Wow what a top quality and tasteful conversion. It really has 'worn' well over the last 20yr and am sure that it will look just as good in 20yr time. I really appreciate the attention to detail and workmanship that went into that project, also brilliant that you guys made the most of the original features and matched in with the gothic arches e,c,t. I really liked how you ran the ceiling into the windows (the way you had done it looks miles better than the usual 'shadow gap' way)

Thanks for sharing that.

Really nice job. The work has paid off in many ways!

Oh wow! What a fantastic job, and that staircase is stunning!

Congratulations beautiful home/garden

Amazing propety robbin and top joinery work I just love it 🤩

Love it! it's easy to assume you are skilled because of your experience, but clearly you've had it in you for a long time!

Beautiful Robin love the centre line concept.

Just Fantastic, well done 👍

Fantastic property!! You are a true craftsman! Love your videos buddy!

great wonderful how proud you must be well done.

awesome vid yet again

Such a wonderful and amazing space, I so much admire your vision a superb craftsmanship, just pity your skill are not ready taught in schools. Thank you so much for sharing. so inspiring.

Nice one Robin this is the business this property

Absolutely stunning

Great view from the summerhouse, I'm a fan of centerlines, symmetry and vistas, they just seem to make the space seem longer.

Love the brown leather jacket Robin!

Nice one matie

Man Robin you don't look like you've aged a wink. Beautiful work my friend. You are a true chippie.

So, you are clearly a highly skilled carpenter- We've seen that on other videos- but that's not exactly amazing. A lot of us are more than wood butchers. Your real gift seems to be that you have just as much vision and eye for design as an arty farty architect, but knowing that you've got to achieve stops the stupidity that most real architects succumb to. Not surprised you are still proud of Capel Chapel- it looks as fresh and stylish as if its only just finished. Nice.

Looks good quality job. The industry has been good to you. Always wanted to build my own house. Never had the money. Over 40 years in now and Covid is putting the final nail in my work coffin. Nearly broke and soon will be it will be time to stop. Then who will employ an old bloke in his 60's until I get to the new retirement age of 67. The building game is hard. It is nice to see someone make the effort and reap the rewards. I never got to that stage.

In that build, all the tools have a cord. In “The Big Build,” none of them do. Except maybe the cement mixer. Looking forward to checking out the pool in your present home. I have cleaned and repaired pools in LA for 50 years and so have an interest. Sitting on that step and the accompanying dialog was priceless. Thank u Robin for letting us into a little slice of your life.

Very nice! 👍

Stunning 😍

Amazing

Is that your son sat up on the steel?! 😉 Superb work Robin. My goodness, you keep on giving by sharing these things. Thank you.

Wowza!!

Those photos of you back in the day look young enough to spend time on the naughty step !

Absolutely Beautiful Robin,, I'm Proud To Be A Subscriber To such An Inspirational, Amazing Channel,, You Truly Are A Fantastic Craftsman, If Only I'd Become A Chippie Instead Of A Chef, Tut Tut!! Would Be Great To See How The Actual Church Build Went. Here's Looking Forward To More Of Your Amazing Projects. 👍👍👍👍👍

Can you imagine how quick you'd want to complete that massive, massive project if you were living with the in-laws until it was complete? Robin knows. Respect my good sir.

Impeccable work Robin! your videos should become standard curriculum for any carpenter education, anywhere. the pride, commitment you show is really inspiring. We build quite different here up in the north (Norway) but you're one of the, if not the only one I've seen that build to standards way beyond anything I have ever seen.

So you`ve always been a genius ,, jobs a goodun

Hi Robin I have one as well a former chapel and Sunday school. Started 1997 on the Sunday school and 2010 on the chapel. I also did all the work myself and have also a large steels in the floor that sit on the original Victorian Columbs and timber ring beam. I had a massive heart attack in 2008 but was determined to see the chapel done and took me 7 years and at present still live in it. I had the original organ left behind which parts went to keep up Truro cathedral organ and The original pulpit which acts as a half landing that I built stairs up to and on to the first floor. I kept the feel of the chapel as you enter from the front door but with all the benefits of modern living.

Very nice..

structural designer wasn't keen but i got him to sharpen his pencil haha. that made me laugh! Lovely house. Really like what you did mirroring the top arch of the windows.

Hi Robin thanks for sharing this amazing project just wow the craftsmanship in that build is epic. I think you should change your shirt from chippie to Legend 🔥 👊

So good. You're clearly a property developer Robin with building / carpentry as a sideline hobby :) The fact you did Capel after this as well. Personally I think the blank stone should have Roger Bisby carved on it :D

Look at them boots - Buck Rodgers 😂. Lovely property mate.
