For a list of all the tools you need to get started in blacksmithing visit startblacksmithing.com It is less expensive and complicated than you might think!
Learn about Engineered wooden I-Beams, blocking, installing to prevent squeaks, gang cutting, and more. Rolling Joists is a fun part of framing - you can make a lot of headway in a short time. In this episode, and after about 2.5 hours of work, we had a nice looking floor skeleton all in and ready to deck! Unfortunately there is a little work to do in the crawlspace before the deck can go on, so we are going to have to pause on the framing items for a brief moment and do some rough plumbing and ducting work next. Thanks for tuning!

@sigdetcdr 4 года назад

As always, great video, sir! You're about the most calm and well-thought-out carpenter I have ever seen. Thank you so much for your videos. I was a framer for a couple decades and I appreciate the truth you share. I now design homes for custom builders and have been pushing to steer away from engineered lumber. Trusses and I-joists burn incredibly fast, so we either add fire-proofing, sprinklers or design using nominal lumber. For gang cutting, I once set up a cut station using (2) 48' i-joists as a table with a sled and mounted (2) 12" SCMS at each end. We were able to precision-cut every joist we were using on the apartment complex we built. I've never been under such time requirements to have to frame to speed in that way of cutting. It looks cool though....you da man! Glue in the hanger was something we also stopped doing. Eventually we found that when the glue cured, it would sometimes move in the hanger. A rubber compound ended up better for us. We only glued wood-to-wood or wood-to-concrete. I wish you every success and look forward to watching your project evolve to its conclusion.

@rightlanehog3151 4 года назад

Thanks for the thoughtful and brave comments which 'dare' to question the methods and choices employed in this video series. I think every young builder ought to be sent to Europe for a month to examine low-tech old buildings that have stood for 500-1,000 years. They will learn that an un-level floor won't mend itself over time nor will an out of plumb timber post. Another important lesson will come in the discovery that not a single square inch of Disoriented Strand Board was built into any of those ancient structures.

As a retired fire fighter I would say with you using modern engineered products, I hope and would recommend including a residential fire sprinkler system. While engineered pro, there are as expected cons - and the biggest con is fire load and failure quicker than stick lumber. Water damage is easier to fix than fire damage, not to mention the safety for fire fighters entering the structure for extinguishment. Just a thought!

I saw a statistic provided by my local fire department (of whom my wife's cousin is chief) stating that in the 1960s, people had on average 17-minutes to escape their homes safely during a fire.

Shimming the center span is an example of what you will never get with a production framing crew in these parts anyway. It is common to insist they replace cracked roof joists that they have scabbed scrap to strengthen. They also push the +/- 1/4" on every fit up. A common reply is "oh the dry wall cover that". I have run off more dope smoking framers than I can count on two hands. The quality you are displaying can only be gotten if you do it yourself. Love your videos!

@AWoodworkersLife Год назад

Another option for ensuring a dead flat floor, instead of shimming every single joist over the pony, is to run a double sill plate on the pony. Shim in between the two sill boards only where needed and then let the joists ride directly on the top plate of the pony.

This is such a wholesome channel and you’re a great teacher. You’re the type of people who built the amazing world we all live in amd inherit. We are truly standing on the shoulders of giants. If only kids would watch and learn this rather than watch rap videos that glorify murder and crime we could all live in a better world.

don't forget the "guide cut" with the circular saw. a long bar chain saw, and a sharp chain.

And he spent a year or two (or a dozen) cutting timber in the northwest. Has a few hours on a chain saw. Nice work!!!

These guys should be an example of your never too old to do and enjoy what you like. These guys are old school carpenters.

You certainly weren't kidding when you said getting those joists in would make it look like a whole lot of progress!

I have enjoyed every video you have made. Thank you for the quality family friendly content. This 25 year 110volt to 500kv electrician appreciates the effort and quality! Very refreshing indeed!

This video made my day. The guys under my leadership think I'm crazy for believing in quality craftsmanship of this caliber. the master carpenter is a dying breed. thank you sir for this great video

The best friends are the ones that just show up, grab a hammer, or shovel, or wrench and just dig in with you. I'm blessed with a few.

@WayneSmith-yf3fg 4 года назад

Yup! I had one. Showed up on my front porch on a Sunday morning (after a tree had blown down against the house the night before) with a chain saw and a gas can. Worked all day with me. Hugh became a great friend and we worked on a number of carpentry projects over the years. He was a very skilled carpenter and I learned a lot from him. Miss him now that I've moved out of state.

To have the knowledge how to build the house is one thing. To know how to pass this knowledge to the others is rare talent. This is the best series ,and I watched it twice already.

This man is like Bob Villa x1000.

@cncwoodworxroc6881 4 года назад

In some ways comparing him to Bob is an insult. Bob isn't a pro by any means (when looking at it from a professionals perspective, he was a GC, and sued many times during his lackluster career) as he was a paper icon ( a talking head, not a craftsman). To say he is the equivalent to Norm, well, that's more truth, and an absolute compliment 😉
