Learn all about Wall Framing in this Trades Training Video series. 

Your explanations, models, and computer illustrations come together to make this stuff so easy to see and learn. Thank you for your efforts. Nice work.

I am 68 years old and I have never seen framing explained so well! Thank You So Much! You have a gift for making this understandable! Thank You Sir!

Very helpful information well delivered. No needless loud music or idle chatter. Let's get right to it. Great stuff. Thanks.

The Best Learning Resource and channel on the internet. Thank you for your website and all the lessons, your Lessons are Excellent, concise and have helped me profoundly to understand, and apply, the topics, as well as raising my confidence in the process, because before I found your Courses and learning resources I was not even sure where or how to start. Thank You for you work in teaching, and all these videos.

I'm just an amatuer DIYer and I've watched many hours of videos on construction and DIY. This has been best and most concise explanations for framing that I've seen on RU-vid. Other videos explain the same terms sometimes but it's always broken up with other tips and tricks etc. I guess the assumption is that you already know a bit. At least with your video it doesn't assume that AND you give "why" as opposed to "this is where this goes and that's how it should be". Looking forward to watching the other videos you have.

Your videos are amazing and I love your models makes it so much easier to understand for folks that do not deal with this sort of stuff on the daily

Easy to follow an understand! Thank you

Thanks!

You're amazing at teaching all these topics. Thank you much!!! 😊

thank you so much. will keep you in my prays.

love the channel 👏🏽👏🏽💯💯 very well explained 👌🏽

Thank you so much for Your time and efforts. Your professional video editing made us so easy follow. Well explained. Will follow you..

❤. Thank you so much.

The models and your illustrations really helped a lot to imagine. Really appreciate the genuine effort you take. Informative and easy to learn. Thanks much. From India

Great info, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Great helpful channel, learning alot! One question is for running electrical wires, or HVAC Plumbing & electrical or otherwise from attic down to 1 Level ceiling on a 2 level building! Can you cut 1"/1.5"/2" diameter holes on both the double top plates/cap & top on exterior or interior walls framinged in? Will any of these cuts/holes made in any sizes mentioned above in any location throughout both of those two top plates hinder or disrupt the integrity to the strength of that wall?

Never framed before but need to build an interior non-loadbearing wall for an extra bedroom. We have a new person living with us for 1 or 2 years, and then I'll remove the walls.

Good stuff Joe. Your presentation is tip top. In England we always say the larger dimension first, e.g. 6x2 or 4x2, said as six buh two etc. Very few of our buildings are timber framed over here as we don't have the forestation you have in the states. Our stud work is mainly used for internal partitioning and where it's not load bearing we'll use 3x2 as our ceiling height is around 7ft 6ins. Take care over there.

U are a great teacher. Thank God for u and ur family. I should have meet u, as my teacher, when I was 12years of age

I found the size of the wood here ,thank you !

Wonderful video and I'm currently digging the entire series. Quick question: Why do you always want to stick to the layout? Is it for sheating purposes so you always land your board on a stud? It is somehow tempting to space equally the cripples underneath a window sill or to put at least 2 when the layout would only provide one. Many thanks

Good skill and helpful

Thanks for a great video. Question: After laying out the first wall, do the markings of all other walls walls follow a certain direction? For example, continue 16" centers in a clockwise pattern on all walls or should parallel walls have 16s ran in the same direction, etc..?

When designing exterior walls for doors and windows, is there a layout approach that will minimize wastes of exterior sheathing and avoid difficult insulation installation?

Great video! How do I know what jamb size I need for door/window?

If your wall is longer than 16ft long, how do you connect them. Is your last stud at the 16ft mark half on both sill plate and top plate or you partition two separete wall and have them connected with double stud. I have to build a 2x 44ft long garage wall.

I've always wondered... When a through wall and butt wall are laid out 16" on center, the sheet goods on the inside or outside of one wall will not fall on a stud center because of the thickness of the adjoining wall. . What is the process for that?

Hello, what are the commercial lengths of stud/lumber commonly used in US? thank you!

Do you have a lesson for moving a wall to decrease/ increase the size of a room? How can I tell if its load bearing and supporting the structure if it is ? Thanks

What will work for hot climate areas? 2x2? Or 2x4 is the minimum?

What would determine the center on the common studs? (12" 16" or 24") Load bearing or not? Length of wall??

The only thing I would like to see added to this segment is something regarding staggered framing.

I’m just learning here. My question is, are jack studs not required to better support the sill plate for the window?

Where to put the header in reference to jack studs? In the middle on the top of the jack studs or on the outsides?

Teacher ：sill 是不是少了2个legs （sill of the window 2 legs missing?)

I've just learned more and had so many ha-ah moments

i did a shopping center tower at 30' tob. they requried 2x12s @ 12" o.c. balloon framed.

🙏

How do I get your scaled pieces of wood ?

I try to follow the webpage but there is not any

Teacher, I come here again

No cripple jack studs under sill is sloppy though

Why does the window 🪟 need 3 studs oppose to the door that only needs two on each side??

Maybe you should start off by mentioning the importance of having and following the IRC code book.

Where are the Queen studs? - Freddie

I have three framing books and none of them touch on edge-case scenarios, which is really unfortunate. New-comers know interior butt walls are supposed to have its double plate overlap onto the wall it's perpendicular to, but what about extremely short butt walls? An example is when you have a tiny 3-inch wall (two 2x4's sandwiched) just for one side of where a door will go. It's just enough space to allow for trim around the door. It's an ultra-short wall. Do you bother to have its double plate overlap onto the wall it's up against (we'll call it a by-wall)? Doing so means the double plate of the by-wall would be split into two plates instead of one. Often times this causes conflicts with the rule about spacing your double and top plate joints 4' apart from each other. This becomes more of a problem on really long spans of wall where you might want to split the wall up into sections instead of trying to lift a 30 foot long wall. Like I said, I've gone the extra mile buying multiple books on the subject, but they don't cover stuff like this. For all I know, it could be perfectly acceptable to simply not bother overlapping that double plate for the 3 inch wall to make it all simple. The other aspect of it is that framing inspections, to my knowledge, only happen after you've got all the plumbing and wiring done, so it's not like you can just take a wall back down to fix it.

This video should have included information about wall studs being 92- 5/8" long and not 8' long.

You never said the size of the king stud .the wide and the height .please leave sizes
