How can Neville be so useless as a carpenter?
Watching episode one series one last night and it strikes me as strange that Neville could have been so useless as a chippy. I understand the fact he was trained as a bricky but I've worked on many building sites and never have come across someone who couldn't even use a saw properly or would have kicked a hammer off the scaffolding. Most builders can turn their hand to a bit of carpentry to a decent standard if required but it seems poor Nev can't even use a saw without almost losing a hand. Also noticed the bandage was on his right hand which means he must have been using the saw with his left - strange thing to do of you're right handed. Am I being too picky? I think not.....and don't get me started on Dennis's bricklaying.

I watched this episode last week and I thought the same about the saw.
I thought he wrote his postcards to Brenda with his right hand.

Ok, Neville's carpentry was poor, but he was a trained brickie. What the hell was Wayne's excuse?!?

Wayne's bendy saw in Spain is one of the funniest moments of that episode 

Re: How can Neville be so useless as a carpenter?
Moxey rendering the front of Thorneley Manor was another classic. Most of it ended up covering the scaffold boards.

I think that's why they often gave Wayne a book to read instead...

Re: How can Neville be so useless as a carpenter?
Yeah, carpentry was probably bad for his image......

Moxey rendering the front of Thornely is remarkably bad, and as you say most of it ends up not being on the wall.
Also, I'm not a builder or owt, but it looks a bit stiff to me, needs more water in the mix. Trying to spread it like butter, and the consistency should be more like Marg....

Re: How can Neville be so useless as a carpenter?
It makes nee sense about Nev cutting his right hand, as at the beginning of WWTWA? Nev is sawing right handed. Bloody prannock
