This is actually a nice job double locking a ridge seam.It's a lot harder than it looks, and and it's not done much any more,I think because painted or mill finish steel does not have the malleability of traditional standing seamraw metals like copper, zinc,lead.I would say 26 gauge steel is the linit for this kind of detailing as the next jump to 24 gauge would make it almost impossible to do with these methods.I understand the comments concerning the distressing of the metal , but traditionally it was atrade off between a texbook cosmetic appearance and an essentially weather and windproof ridge lock(no ridge cap could ever hope to be as tight as this).Part of the"beauty is in the effectiveness of the seal and this applicator deserves a lot of credit because what he did is about as good as it gets with a steel medium. If you relly want to see roofs with cosmetic imperfections take a good look at soldered copper panels on a large application sometime,oil caning all over the place, but still so beautiful.We do mostly vented ridges now , but we used to do a lot of single lock ridges(1 1/2 standup,same amount bent over the top and sqweezed into a seam) whitch are a lot easier and I would say more common, but leave an exposed edge, but still a very tight ridge.I understand all the comments but people want different methods for different reasons so why not give praise for what is a well done application.

There are several methods to do any detail on roofing installations. What Craig is doing is old time metal forming. Somethiing you don't see much of anymore in our world of mass production, and subbing work out to guys getting paid by the square. Yes there are easier ways to do this, but I like your work Craig. This is how it's done in Europe, where it all started.

In Slovakia, this is old too… there is no time for things like this. But old roofs are like that. Hard to imagine, how hard work it must be.

Greate work John.

Have you ever experienced paint chipping when seaming ridges? And would the accu seamer work for seaming a hip or ridge?

This is actually pretty cool👍

Fantastic job 👍👍👍

Lots of work and also impressive

Увидев этот ролик я ещё раз убедился в том что мы намного аккуратнее делаем эту работу.

Do you do hips the same way? I've done dbl lock peaks but was taught to cut the seam at the peak, making excess metal part of the peak lock.

Awesome job

Great job 👍

Great job

Nice work I always wondered how that gets done!

rocking the all stubai kit nice

What's the large clamping bender used on ridge?

Is that standard aluminum coil stock?

how is the opening of seaming done(not to traditional technique), when peb building is relocated? will the sheet become absolute while opening due to post-opening leakage? also, pl provide a video if possible. Rahul, Tx from India

Type of insulation used will determine if the roof cavity needs to be vented. Closed-cell spray foam does not require roof ventilation for example.

when you bend that ridge up you need to tighten the seam because where the seam bends it will crack (as you can see i is very sharp. just hammer the shit out if it before you lift the ridge all the way up. my english isnt that good because im a Finnish dude. hire me😂

I guess that works and all, but where is the attic being vented from? In my opinion ridge cap looks much better and you're not beating the crap out of your new roof. And goes on with much much less effort and time. Each to their own I guess... I prefer doing things the way we do them here in 2020, not the 1830's method.
