MeisterMotion – Multi-View Carpentry Demonstration (Sample)
Real craftsmanship as training data for robotics. This is a free sample from MeisterMotion: a German master carpenter and metalworker recording real hands-on work with tools, from three synchronized cameras, with timestamped work steps and a full parts list.
The full dataset (uncut 4K raw footage, more takes and tasks) is available on request – see Contact below.

The three clips are time-synchronized and show step 4 (main roof rafters – fit and screw) of take D08.
Task
Assembly of a timber roof model at scale 1:5 by hand: a gable main roof with a cross gable joined through valley boards – 19 parts with traditional carpentry joints (dovetail, birdsmouth, tenon, bevel fits), fixed with a cordless drill and screws. One performer (master carpenter), working alone, natural pace, approx. 8:25 min.

| 2 | 1:10 | 2:00 | Place sill plates (dovetail joints) |
| 3 | 2:00 | 2:40 | Posts and ridge purlin, main roof |
| 4 | 2:40 | 4:00 | Main roof rafters – fit and screw |
| 5 | 4:00 | 5:10 | Cross gable: rafters and ridge purlin |
| 6 | 5:10 | 6:20 | Valley boards – place and screw |
| 7 | 6:20 | 7:50 | Trimmers, short rafter, jack rafters |
| 8 | 7:50 | 8:20 | Final check – model complete |
Timestamps are approximate (10 s grid). Finer annotation (sub-steps, grasp / place / fasten events) is available on request.

About MeisterMotion
Small carpentry and metalwork business in Cologne, Germany, run by a master carpenter (Zimmerermeister) with decades of practice. Timber, steel, concrete – the model is a sample only; our actual offer is full-scale work:
- roof framing and timber joinery, joist hangers (screwed, nailed, nail gun)
- MAG / MIG / TIG welding on steel and stainless steel
- drilling and anchoring in timber, steel and concrete, also overhead
- assembly, fastening and handling tasks
- in the workshop and on real construction sites, recorded anonymously
Also on request (recorded in our workshop, small elements also outdoors):
- formwork building (part of the German carpenter's training; we have built it on real jobs)
- tying rebar cages
These are not construction services we sell, but they can be recorded by a master carpenter for your dataset.
Recordings can follow your specifications (camera setup, frame rate, task list, annotation format).
