I’ve learned more from watching your videos in 2 months than I have in 6 months working an apprentice carpenter. I think it’s time for a change in employment 😆
@@Quackerstacker1973 yeah Fr shoe more ambition or soemthing go up to him like a man and say Hey honestly I’m really here to learn and not to clean and sweep (if you’ve put in your time.) I’m ready right now to start being a carpenter n not a laborer. It goes a long way brotha
Its It's probably cause your boss is a idiot and doesn't know his shit just botching jobs like most framers these days I've seen some shit on new build that make you shake your head
I was taught to layout out all your plates an nail them down with 8's an detail everything all at once, use a Channel marker or speed square to mark all corners an channels, I never use a tape to cut plates because you snapped the floor out an it tells you where to cut everything, or to layout studs, only to detail doors an windows. Have you ever used a layout stick? I can layout all studs for the whole house in know time, always stack everything. I mark the plates an the floor, pluck everything up go stack it in a corner an start framing. Check out Bigfoot tools I think that's where I got my layout stick it is such a time saver.. just another way of doing things an that's how I was taught not right not wrong. Have a good day an keep up the amazing hard work an quality.
I love the fact you're keeping the group just in a safety measure.,. Plenty and plenty more ideas of good fun and productions just right before our eyes. Stay sharp alohos.l let's enjoy this wild journey together.
for someone who already know framing this is probably a good tip.. iam a carpenter (framer) in sweden so i do understand.. btw in Sweden we dont have "framer",drywaller" etc.. a "carpenter" in sweden do all the framing, drywall,siding,insulation and poly.. etc
Awesome content! Finally someone else calls them Jacks besides me. I'm tired of hearing them called trimmers. If your going to call the others King studs then you should be also using Jacks and Cripples.
@@tiffanywall4178 Those are hip and valley Jacks. Jack studs are in walls next to a king stud in a door opening. The jack stud is what supports a header which people are calling a trimmer. What your referring to is a hip or valley jack that goes into the ridge beam of a dormer or any hip style roof two completely different things.
So two people in the world call them Jack's and everyone else is wrong I have been framing for 30 years and always called them trimmers never even heard someone call them Jack's
@@vtrombly that is the way I was taught to do it it is just what I have always called it and I have never heard them called Jack's Jack's go on the roof
I always use my tape when im laying out, an never have my top plate or bottom plate break less than 4'. Then again im American an when my houses get walked it doesn't look like a fuckin box of orange spray paint blew up inside.
Bruh, mark all your wall intersections and cap plate measurements on the top plate before you even start laying out. So much easier and none of this squaring every wall across the plate then scribbling it out.
I got the same Milwaukee speed square you are using in this video and I'm thinking about getting into house construction and I'm wondering if you have made a video or if you could make a video explaining the different uses of a speed square and why there is a square with rounded corners in the middle of the speed square
Beast. How old are you? How long you been doing this? Did your dad teach you? Your skill is designed for speed and it also results in quality. Fabulous. I’m 63 by the way. Still LOVE to build shit. Watching your vids gives me steroids.
@@jeramiedutcher6720 on the more expensive homes using a dbl bottom plate means pouring lightweight concrete for radiant in-floor heating. This cowboys paid and long gone before any de lam happens lol. I’m sure he doesn’t give a sheep’s shit about dirt either. This guy is a paid framing contractor. His warranty is for his tools and truck only lol
Why is the tyvek wrapped up on the deck? Where is your chalk line you will nail the bottom wall plate to? On that tyvek? So many things I don’t understand.
I've watched several of your videos and I must say, you are the most jackleg framer I've ever seen. Those of you complimenting this trash are why our industry is in the state it is in. 30 plus years and this is rubbish filmed for "likes" whatever that is,and will get you fired from my job. Jax,FL
I thought I was the only one who thought the same I’m 5 years deep and I would be so pissed if I had to read this layout because of the way it’s explained
How do these young guys come up with the way they lay out walls, they act like if you have to make an x next to the mark, that it takes too much time, never seen any pro mark the center of a stud, so inaccurate and sloppy, i see no x's and o's for studs and jacks, no cripple stud marks and never seen anyone scribble out partition marks
