    I dont really find it that much quicker as there are extras you have to do to make it safe to lift and there is also time wasted waiting for cranes.. but on a job like this it is much easier on the body to build it on the ground. Anything lower I will always do without a crane.

    Looking splendid sir! I was just wondering was the crane necessary here? We usually do first "braces?" Vertically on walls taller than 1200mm. Then you can double up with casettes 1200x whatever the desired height without the use of a crane. Of course we mostly use 12mm plywood so it requires quite a few studs to support it, 150mm intervals. My experience is from commercial side of course. I understand you want your surfaces to be spot on as you run your own business. Really looking forward to seeing the stair formwork that is up next!

    I usually do not use a crane. But 6m high is high, physically I do not want to have to pass sheets up 6m to nail them off... much easier on the ground. But we did have some issues with crane drivers and bookings so yes anything normal height about 3-4m we will build as you say. Thanks for watching.

    One of the guys who helps me sometimes builds them the way you mention. To be honest I have only seen it done that way once or twice in my life! I said to him I want him to show me sometime but I'm struggling to imagine how it will be easier... but I am open to trying it. What I like about horizontal is I can put my centers closer at the bottom of wall where most pressure is and space further at top. You will see I have done this in the video. I went about 240mm centers at bottom and 400mm centers at top.

    Sometimes it's not possible, sometimes you can reach in with an offcut. I build the walls in a way where I can get to all the important corners. When I can't I use a 50 and 300 grit diamond honing pad on a sander to lightly round the corner after. It comes up almost the same. The honing pads leave a polished surface just like the silicone does.

    The centre's I used on this job was 600mmx600mm due to the hydraulic pressure from 6m high conc. Usually I go 900wx600h. When I don't need to follow a pattern I space even further, about 1100mmx900mmhigh. The oil I used here was formoil which is 60% diesel. But it damages the ply if applied too early. I have started using lanolin exclusively and applying minutes before the conc. Lanolin is not very effective once it dries. Diesel doesn't dry/soak as easy so it is better for applying early. But as I said is screws up the glue in the ply.

    It is oil. To repel the water in the concrete. If you repel the water from the surface you will get more cement against the forms which creates a stronger, smoother finish with less air bubbles.

    I just did one... but I didn't film it. Very rare I do them. But I build internal shutters 1 for each side obviously and I keep the ply short of the corners say 500mm. Then I build separate corner shutters say 480x480, (4of) and you install the main shutters then install the corners. When you strip you use push pulls to wind the shutters in, pull the corners off and raise the shutters. The floor is done using wall pockets so it just slots in as you lift it up. Very easy.
