I wanted to create a video someone could watch and simply learn how to layout like a pro with string and a set of batter boards. If you follow my easy steps, you will have your layout done in no time. I also think you will like my efficient use of one batter board instead of two...It's easier and quicker. Bust this out and look like a pro next time!
If anyone knows the name of the knot in the video let me know. I am curious what it is called

For me, the ideas in ru-vid.comUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

I just did this last week laying out the holes and anchors for climbing trees in some parks over here, it is really cool when all the strings end up bang on! Cheer from Tokyo!

I'm building my first pole barn-you are the only person I was able to understand on how to lay out my post square-thanks for saving my ass.

I remember back in 89 going over this with the head of our survey department at Burgess and Niple as a new hire. I think we did 4 or 5 practice layouts before going out to a job site. He didn't want anyone using the laser layout system who couldn't do a manual layout. Batteries on that old equipment would always die when you needed it the most. Those ni-cad bricks weighed a ton when you had to make sure you had enough power for a full day. Great video

I'm a homeowner who recently hired pros to build a deck this summer. I was just looking for some info on how the project will go so I am more informed on the technical pieces that will go into my project. The video was really well done and very informative and I appreciate your expertise and the time you took to make it. Thanks!

@hollisgleason5334 3 года назад

This is a gold mine of information!! On a previous project me and my younger brother were to put up a lean-to shade area next to our barn and in our attempts to make the square posts straight and equidistant all around was almost impossible and we barely managed to make it square... B U T! After watching this video and going step by step we have flawlessly thrown up 8 posts for another shade project and it’s such a relief to have this kind of video for help. You definitely deserve a Nobel prize for this masterpiece of a video

Hey guys, thank you for the excellent video. Nothing like having teachers who know how and what to teach and have some fun doing it at the same time!

@tomfrederick6083 Год назад

Very timely find for me. I just picked up a 70 x 30 shelter kit from an auction yesterday (12/29/2022), and I would like to mount the support posts on Sonotubes. I am looking forward to learning exactly where and how to place those tubes and posts; pre-fabricated steel isn't nearly as forgiving as wood. This channel is THE best instructional place for us unranked amateurs to learn how to do it. Thanks for making these videos!

Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. Your help has been immense in helping us layout our deck. I am teaching 3 teenage boys how to lay out a deck or building and asked them to watch this video before we start. Well done.

When the batteries die or you forget your calculator, the '6' '8' '10' ratio works too. You are a very good teacher, and make layout look easy, thanks for your informative videos.

@Bold_bezels 4 года назад

I’m from Philippines and I used to work as an aircraft technician, we use imperial like everywhere and anything and to be honest until now it still hurts my brain computing or even by just listening to you but then after I arrived here in Australia and work as a carpenter and holy sheeet everything is changed, it’s like first grade mathematics, no quarters, no fractions, no nothing just say the digits and that’s it. Metric just literally saves my life.

@168grhp 4 года назад

Thank you! I was having trouble squaring the corners of my 12x24 deck layout using string and the 345 rule. After watching this I bought two identical 100' tape measures and easily squared it up.

@eddiedauniika9844 2 года назад

Yes, this explanation makes it easy for us to understand. Thank you. Really regret didn't learning this before building my house. Coz my house isn't square. Anyways, that's for video, very educational for my future projects

I am about to build a similar building using concrete posts and have watched a number of videos along these lines but none come close to being as good as these. Great detail and a pleasant tone with added humour. Subscribed. I am also pleased to see you adopted Greg's knot tying method, despite mocking it a few films back. I am sure you could save hours if you went metric, 65' and 5 5/8" - asking for trouble. Still, you seem to get there in the end. Look forward to seeing more. Brilliant.

@patricktrier4503 4 года назад

Great job on this video. I have seen your other videos on this subject and they are good to, but I like how thorough you are in this one. Thanks! An idea for another video might be how the site is graded before you do the layout. Fill vs. virgin soil, problems with rocky soil, things of that nature. I am toying with the idea of doing that part myself for my DIY project, but I need to research more about that topic.

@jonhayes6127 4 года назад

I was lucky enough to be taught how to do layout with batter boards and string line when I was first in the biz 30 years ago. Set batter boards 5 ft outside of building lines. Buildings are always right on with square. It's amazing how many builders don't know how to do it this way.

@therealandrewlund 2 года назад

I really enjoy your content. I've done a bit of construction, and am in the process of finishing a pole barn. The devil is in the details with the metal siding/trim, and your vids have really helped me develop a solid game plan. You do great work, and also don't take yourself too seriously. Hope you keep making videos.

Nice work guys. I usually lay out my points with rebar pins to exact dimensions then use a level to plumb up lines to the batter boards.

@aaronpachal9002 4 года назад

I was assigned this video for a carpentery class. It helped me to better understand how to use the Pythagorean theorem in a practical context, so thank you for that. A lot of the terminology you used is still foreign to me, but I learned a couple new words here. The elevation grading was confusing to me, so it may have been illuminating to see more of the project coming together.

Scott Glover, I mentioned that one time about the Essential Craftsman, and boyyyy did I get jumped on, which I do understand now. He really wouldn't want to do that, he would never get anything accomplished due to producers, writers, executives always dictating to him and his crew on what to do, stand, say, pose for this camera, pose for that camera, ect. But, if the money's there...🤔.........🤑🤑🤑
