how to make an LnR pattern piece for gable ends 

Wait til you see these next few weeks worth of videos lol and thanks for the compliment man. I just showed up, stayed positive and tried to learn it all. I was fortunate to work with a guy that knew everything on every job we were at. He was a framer by trade, but kicked out for DUI's but I learned a lot of framing, siding soffit n fascia, gutters, demo, window wraps, windows, doors, trim, flooring and prolly a handful of other stuff too. I just wanted to be the guy that had all of the answers like he did and sort of grew into that from being VERY consistent. I have never no called no showed. And that's rare out by me lol

@@NWIVeteranConstruction Thanks for the reply. You take pride in a job well done and it shows. Have a great weekend!

Hell yea brother plenty more where that came from. Just getting started

i appreciate that bud thank you

yessir thank you!

Thank you! That's what the channel is here for. You'll find plenty of those moments in some of my videos. Thanks for watching

Glad to help

Yessir. For now anyway. I got some big plans that'll save even more time than that

No problem

Glad it helped you!

Np

Thanks bud. As always I appreciate the feedback!

I appreciate that

No problem

It saves time. If you only knew that pattern madness that's been on my jobs lol

It should. Thanks for the comment bud

You don't even know lol I'm over here inventing shit for construction coz I don't like the best ways 🤣

@@NWIVeteranConstruction I learned a lot from you already. I just jumped into full time contracting and you're the only one who had a quick and easy way to get the gable angles

Haaaaha nahh we're using one without it right now and it's easier. You just gatta be more careful lmao

Also thanks for your support man. Good luck with the new big job. I just picked up 110 sq 7/12. Can't wait for that! Hopefully within a week or 2

No problem!

I wish! Lol that's one of the next things on my list. Now that I have 6 employees things are completely wrecked! Lol

Yes sir thanks for the comment! but yea every job is different, some are quick, I've tore down and installed 22 sq in a day with 3 others but that's far from typical lol I've also installed hardie board and LP. not a fan of hardie, takes too long, but when the day comes I'll probably LP my own house. What a lot of guys don't get is that vinyl isn't a bad product. I Like it and know it holds well when installed correctly and the majority of homeowners, like 75+% of people in my area, Would prefer to put vinyl on because its in their budget and lasts for what you pay for it.

Yeah hardie is a b word to work with. Lol i do agree with lp to me it’s the best in the biz. I use that template method and when I get to using just one piece up the gable I just use my template and a speed square to get all my measurements. Again great vids man.

@@GrazingBull thanks. When you get down to "less than" a full piece length on those gables you know the trick to get your next number right? Before you install it?

Yes I do!

@@GrazingBull ouwwwouuuuu lets hear it. Haaaaha nah I'm jk. That's the one trick most people do know

Sure do

Not if you are good enough with a pair of snips or a saw.

@@johnharris8191 especially when you use that chainsaw.

Same exact thing. Hook into your gecko clips, slide over and use another piece to trace. or you can do a rake angle if I'm not mistaken, using either a speed square or a framing square. It won't be the easy way on the square though. And if its not new construction the angles won't always be perfect anyway so finding a good way to trace your angle is safer than a rake angle on a square

You have to make sure you have the exact same same siding, and only put nails IN THE OLD NAIL HOLES. That will ensure they line up. I actually have a recent video about changing a piece. Might help

Also, I enjoy how you're teaching this kids everything you know. You're a great trainer, hard to find people that critique little things like you do. Once again, good job.

Oh, also. haha. How long have you been in business?

i have the greatest!!!!! j channel video. period. its actually one of my favorite videos of mine and j channel is one of my favorite things to do. check it out. very easy to find in a search or on my channel videos in my siding playlist

I suggest you ligama.

But if that just makes you hungry, we can go to wendy's. You like wendy's?

All the way up. Unless your roof pitch changes but that is obvious. Keep your pattern and use only that piece as a pattern. Don't use your cut offs as a pattern or it will eventually not work anymore.

@@NWIVeteranConstruction also make sure to keep your siding level. If you loose it then eventually it will come out of j channel. And if I'm doing the gable with someone else then I cut a panel and before I give it to other guy to put it on i measure lock to know the size of next panel and while coworker is hammering first panel I'm already cutting the next one.

Cost more money too just to do one project.

Haha probably depends on the angle of the sun, not a bad idea though! I actually got a pretty sweet invention in the works too help find this angle

No sir. And twice as accurate

I could have. It's a 12/12 which equals 45 degrees and my saw is big enough to do it. However, The reason I didn't, is because that would not have worked on your average job where you're dealing with 8/12 and under (in my area) so, because not all angles are made the same and the majority of them need a grinder. I demonstrated it in a way that works in all situations.

I prefer the grinder personally but I use a chop saw with a backwards blade once in awhile. But usually just for straight cuts in between windows. Like When you Gatta cut like 6 pieces @ 125 or whatever. You can Get through em all in 1 cut. So fast.

Not on the angle pieces!..you'll get brutally blistered up lol always grind those. Worth every penny and then some

Yea you can use it backwards. Just will sit a little awkwardly. I had a guy try to do that for the same reason, didn't work out well so my advice would be to do it this way

Same thing just got to use longer pieces

For vinyl? I would never do it different than this if you want my honest opinion. I have another video though I'm pretty sure I detailed that a little bit where I was matching siding up above a gable

@@NWIVeteranConstruction thank will look for it, you are awesome

Mm....

I hate it on my house. It creaks in the wind, gets holes and cracks from lawn mowers and stuff easily, and is an insect and wasp nest magnet. I took down some of it to work on my roof and the whole corner post was filled with wasps nests. The bottom of each siding piece was full of dead bugs too.

Framing square 30 times. Pattern in 2 minutes and easily traced. You wouldn't win that race bud

happy to help

If somebody made a video demonstrating what you described, i would comment the same thing that you did but tell them about making a pattern

Ahhhaha I'll smoke you any day with no cut take coz you'll take too damn long to set it up and walk back and forth! Watch my one man install video it'll help you out

@@NWIVeteranConstruction I like that you stand up for your self but I have what you dont have and thats years you mite be fast but IM A PRO

I'll always give credit where it's due man. Post a video of yourself knocking out some siding. Not just hanging it in the open, and tag it on my videos. If you're good I wanna learn something

@@NWIVeteranConstruction I LOVE THAT BE TEACHABLE I ALLWAYS LOVE TO LEARN SOMETHING WE ALL DONT KNOW KNOW IT ALL PEACE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

He’s doesn’t know anything about roofing, there is a big difference between fast and quality

Well. Not every pitch is built exact. Or settles exact when put up. Also. You're gonna end up using a pattern anyway coz nobody is gonna bust a speed or framing sq every time. So why not just get one good one for both sides. Exact to the angle because it was traced... and go on about the day using one pattern

If you think that then you must not be a sider 😂 coz real siders know that this 2 minute trick saves time and mistakes when cutting gables
