@@jackm2379 i did understand the joke, it's about the fact that the man can't constantly hit the nail's head. However, the saying that lightning never strikes the same place twice is plain wrong.
I read the entire Ryan's ru-vid.comUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans and was able to make a shed plan. Using Ryan's Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is great. Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan's Shed Plans.
This guy is a dang decent carpenter, lot's of internet warriors in the chat here who have never been on a jobsite or are so old they can't remember how it really works
@@chopshop523 you must not know that hand nails often have different thickness and engineering ratings than gun nails. You'll find out once you get a little experience
My dad would drive those nails in three swings and never miss. One set, one drive, and one finish and not leave a hammer mark on the wood. As a kid I was totally impressed. Drive it in three and not bruise the wood. He was a craftsman.
Just takes two boards, 25lb of crappy galvanized 16 penny nails, and a day. Drive nails into the two boards nailing them together until you can't see wood anymore. First you will learn control so you don't bend the nail, then you will drive a nail 2 hits.
I just came to read all the comments by "carpenters" who never miss hitting nails. Go watch this guys RU-vid channel and you'll see he can build some great looking pole barns. Name is on his shirt.
Anyone can build a pole barn lol. Now build a curved staircase and you might impress me? They've been using the nail thing he shows for a hundred years at least. Without all the fancy tools we have at our disposal today. But in today's I can do it by myself time's I guess you need all the help you can get. If I had a nickel for all the DIY job's I've had to fix? Or the one's by the fake professionals even. The craftsmanship of today leaves a lot to be desired. Peace
@@fullsend4life28 well don’t use screws for framing a house!! That being said I install pocket doors 90% of the time I have to take down whats framed for me and re frame it properly so the door slides 100% level if not they usually leave the doors high for me so all I have to do is frame a box to drop the height which I do use screws for because of the amount of finagling I have to do. Hey however I might start shooting some nails into the boxes and framing once I got it all in place! I doubt the doors will have enough weight for the screws to snap so that was my mindset(:
When I started as a carpenters apprentice I was namby pambying nails in like that. The journeyman I was working with yelled “hit it like it owes you money”! In a few days I was doing sinkers in two hits, commons in three
@@charlessanders4586 get the two board flush at on end and sink two nails in then you can run warp out from one end to the other. I saw him pull 3 inches of warp out of a 2x8 that was left in the sun. 🤣
I just flush one side, put in a nail and move down to where it needs to be flushed again, move it by hand and nail. Repeat until I reach the end where I flip the header on it's edge and stand on it (flat surface of course) and pop in a nail. Then go back and add nails where needed.
@@simplycomplicated2357 yes exactly some of these commentators are just going off their imagination. And what they think would happen but they don’t know the properties of construction materials so they make face value statements.
I love your technique! That’s how I build al my headers for my company that builds garages. That’s also how we pull in the gables to the correct spacing depending on the siding we’re putting on the walls
At least he’s not standing with one foot on the mid raid of a scissor lift and kneeling on the top rail with the other leg like in another video they put up
@@Ensirum you know OSHA is a federal organization, right? If they set rules and regulations, would it not be federal law? You’re a moron if you think these rules are written by people who “don’t understand the job”.
I remember using those super slow passloads, Im so happy to have upgraded to my m18 milwaukee framing nailer, It puts out 3 nails a second and i have to say it makes work so much FASTER!
I use that nail trick all the time. Comes in handy a lot on the job, sure he could have toenailed it but thats not always an option. Besides this way he gets to make a video out of it lol
Please forgive me if this is a stupid question, I dont do framing work. Why put nails in by hand after already shooting some with the nail gun? I am genuinely curious.
Working by myself I’ve used and learned a lot of tricks to keep me going.. old school carpenter took the time to share with me .. said share this with who is worthy… Didn’t agree at the time But years later. I finally understand… Peace
My old pa can hammer that size nails in with 4 swings without missing beat whilst standing on a joist 15ft high, now I understand why he constantly rips the piss out of the new generation of joiners because they cant use a hammer properly...my old dad is a legend👏😂
My dad would drive those nails in three swings and never miss. One set, one drive, and one finish and not leave a hammer mark on the wood. As a kid I was totally impressed. Drive it in three and not bruise the wood. He was a craftsman.
Yeah well that's because when them guys were coming up nail guns weren't commonplace on construction sites. Shit think about back in your grandpa's day them guys didn't even have power tools
@@Cavemanner the ones I remember are slashed arm from shattered window, missing fingertip from floorboards slipping on crowbar, fractured skull and compressed fracture to spine when faulty baton broke and he fell 15ft. this over nearly 40 years of my old dad on building sites. He is still erecting house kits in his 60s👍
No he's not a legend for calling out inexperienced new comers for not having the skills which he collected over many years. He's just stroking his ego at the expense of discouraging the young.
@@dustinkehlenbeck9204 they do, but the battery is basically just there to power the electronics controlling the compressed air. In 18/24V tools, the batter powers an electric compressor. As such, compressed air cordless nailers use *much* smaller and lower-current batteries than full-electric ones.
A good hammer really makes the difference. Really. For my house, I am using stainless framing nails. For the studs, I am using LVL. For the wall, I am using the interior veneer plaster. I am not using paint. I am definitely overkilling it.
I cringed when I saw him lift the safety head up on the nail gun and shoot the nail into the wood. I done than and we'll shot a nail that bounced and went into my forearm instead lol. Was one of those freak accidents but none the less.
Should try using coated sinkers for hand nails. They go in a heck of a lot easier. Especially when you hit them squarely. Lol often just 3 his. 2 if your good and 1 if your god.
When ya have a gun bounce like that and your other hand is near by, an accident waiting to happen, I got a 16d through my finger when my Bostitch N16 bounced and double fired after hitting a knot in the middle board. Safer to just toe nail the swing board with two ganged 8’s or 10’s. Just sayin.
Nah! I've done this more times than I can count and never had an accident! Course I can only count to 9 ever since I lost a finger in that chop saw incident...🤣 Just joking! Actually, it's really rather safe, if done with just a little care.
Takes a certain kinda person to do this trade. Takes a certain type of man. Wish I could still do this.. it's hard work and it takes a toll on your body. Take care of yourself brother.
Certain kind of person? I don't know if that's an insult or a compliment.... Im inclined to believe the former.... Who the Fu ck wants to swing a hammer all day. Ill stick to tyin steel.... Im not saying any man is less then another.... Just saying most of the greenhorns I break come back as a carpenter
@@aaronrodgers2092 lol, no you got exactly right. And you confirmed my intended point. Trades are all different. Each one requires a certain type of person. Not saying only that one type can do it. Just that the ones who do it, and do it well are typically built for it. Mindset and physical abilities. I completely understand your comment, broken in a few brite necks or greenhorn's back in my better days.
Balls! However, i wouldnt advisr folks to do this because of liability. I've seen guys hit a knot in the wood and throw a nail in a hand or gut. Much rather use a screw, even paslode will tell you that's improper use! Still love your content and learn a lot from you. I dont do many barns and big shops, mostly residential, but i love the knowledge and areas that still apply to what i do!!
There’s over 200,000 tricks with just a hammer and nails… but first you must learn to hit a nail with the hammer. "First Learn Hammer, Then Learn Nail. Nature Rule, Daniel-san, Not Mine.”
