Paul's Toolbox is the greatest. If you are a carpenter's helper, watch these videos and you will be on your way to becoming a master carpenter.

Watching your informative videos is like getting a free course. They increase my confidence in trying construction projects. Thanks so much. Winning one of your giveaways would top it all off.

Paul, I am not commenting for the blue books... I have several as I too am a carpenter. I just want you to know Paul, you are doing for others what I wish other carpenters could have done for you and I when we broke out in construction. I am blessed to have had some good "OLD TIME FRAMERS" who taught me beginning 32 years ago. Although I have not worked construction in a few years due to multiple surgeries from oilfield accident, I do small things with my boys, who are all grown so that I can teach them some of what I was taught.So keep up your instruction videos, you are spot on.

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. You are so smart. I learn so much each time I watch a video.I complete projects because of your videos.

I appreciate the "matter of fact" manner you explain things. I watch all your videos, even the one that dont really relate to a project I working on. But I have learned so much from your vids...Thanks and I look forward to more of them.

you have got the best instructional videos....just love them....Thanks Paul

Thanks for sharing those tricks. You did an amazing job to make it easier to understand.

Great to see how these things are done, Paul. Your videos are a revelation to me. If only I'd had them to watch years back, when I was building workshops and renovating offices. Thanks anyway - never too late for me to learn from a true professional.

I 'll have to watch this one several times to get all your tips, thank you. (String line down the center of the ridge board) Thanks again for the excellent video.

As always Paul, great tips and advice! Always helpful info! Thanks!!!

Well explained video. Way back in the 60's we used to cut the rafters, for the fascias, after they were nailed in place and then we knew they were straight and we were not allowed to nail into end grain. Times change. thanks

You seem like a good guy to work with. Roofing isn't my strong point, but I do similar work to you in the UK. Brilliant that you make these to share the knowledge. Thanks buddy

thanks Paul, I learn more with each video

I recently stumbled upon your channel, and am now addicted haha. So much awesome information I had no idea about before. I hope you are able to keep the videos coming for years to come! Thank You Paul!

Wow, Paul you are very educative on all things you do. I really enjoy watching your channel. I have learned a lot about the speed square. I always thought I would never learn what all the angle where on them. Thank you so much. I really enjoy watching your channel.

That blue book will help a lot, no more trigonometry equation, I need that bluebook!

Paul I really appreciate your knowledge you share. Great Job!

Thanks for all your tricks

Some real nice tricks in there, also great explanations of why. Most people do not get the why.

Love watching all of your video's.

Awesome video like always Sir. Your clear and easy description really helps to understand. Thank you.

Awesome video and tips. Such a help having just bought a new house

Just made this a lot easier for me. Now I understand.

Paul, I have recently found your channel and have learned quite a bit. I am a novice on woodworking and I think the speed square is a lot better than the regular framing square. keep the vids coming.

Perfect timing since I am starting to build a shed for my mower. Finished my fence which turned out great now on to shed.

Another great tip video Paul!

Great video! I'll be building a lumber drying shed this summer and this will certainly help a bunch when I build the roof for it. Look forward to viewing more of your videos.

With your video tutorias, I am gonna build a house. I think roofing is the hardest thing to do in building houses. I have learned a lot from you. Keep them coming.

Great videos. Will help me build the addition to my garage. Thx.

great video, great tips, very informative. I'm building a shed and was going to make trusses but now I think I'm going to use regular rafters. Thanks, John

Thank you for explaining this! I'm headed over now to view the video on using a speed square. I need all the help I can get :)

Awesome, the story pole makes life a lot easier (as does a nail gun😜). Thank you again Paul for providing these great tips and tricks!

Thanks again for all these videos. I am learning quite a bit. I have a couple years to learn some more tricks before trying to add onto my house. Keep it up Paul!

IMPORTANT ....on 618 to 728 I made a mistake on laying out my ridge board , I was pressed for time and a missed a step. My memory must be going south. I will be removing this video and revising it. I hold a 3/4" block against the ridge board or hold the tape 3/4" out. This will give you 15 1/4" for your first rafter spacing and 16" for all of the other ones. Thanks and very sorry for the inconvenience! Paul

Thanks for another great video. I am planning a build within the next year and prior to that I plan to build a small scale version to aid in the learning curve.

Great video! Simple, precise and to the point. You are helping me a lot.

hey Paul I've been following your channel for some time now love all your videos I haven't seen one yet that I haven't liked my father was a journeyman carpenter for 36 years so I grew up swinging a hammer and Building Things and it takes me back I hope to hear from you and maybe get one of those speed squares and booklets because I'm going to have to replace the roof on my parents house this season before winter comes and he's no longer able to do anything at all has dementia so I thought I'd do it for him this would be a great help I'll continue watching liking and sharing your videos with all my friends keep up the good work

Kevin, one thing I have learned in life is that we all need to know something about everything. In this thing we call life, we never know when our SELF EDUCATION is more valuable than a paid for schooled education.

Great information!

great video 👍👍

Thank you that was very informative,I enjoy learning new things. You never know when you might need this kind of information. RJS

very good job!

great explanation!

great informational video!

can you let me know when the neighbor's house is up for sale...so you can be my neighbor???

Great vids. Keep it up!

good video enjoyed learning thanks

I needed to see this, great info.

Nicely done Thanks

...your vids are very good Paul, but I was taught a slightly different layout method: hold *every* layout mark, studs or rafters, back 3/4 inch. This puts everything right for our sheet goods, the edge of the sheathing, for example, will break exactly on the center of a rafter (you have to figure inside and outside corners for studs, but that's obvious) and still be that way when you diaphragm your sheets of ply(or drywall). This just takes a little getting used to, but then becomes second nature. When I was framing and stacking we worked in pairs, our "story pole" was run wild, one man stands center and holds a rafter up against it while the other man nails the bird's mouth end of the rafter. Then the nailer switches over to the other side while the man in the middle is holding, now, *both* rafters. The ridge is sitting right there and the nailer then lifts it up and the middle man holds the rafters apart to accept the ridge and tacks the rafters into the top of it (because until you get the other side right it is pivoting up there) and puts a nail into the story pole through the rafter... the story pole extends up beyond the rafter and doesn't have to be centered. Then move to the other end...it gets a little dicey, depending on the length of the ridge, and, yes, long runs require splicing of the ridgeboard and propping at the proper height, etc, etc, but generally most applications we handled in a quick, expedient manner letting the cut rafters determine where the ridge is set.

Hi Charlie, I made a mistake on my layout and I am glad you brought it to my attention. I was pressed for time and a missed a step. My memory must be going south. I want to send you a square and a blue book if that is ok with you. Please go to Paulstoolbox.com and give me your shipping information, I will send it out to you. I will be removing this video and revising it. I normally hold a 3/4" block against the ridge board or hold the tape 3/4" out. This will give you 15 1/4" for your first rafter spacing and 16" for all of the other ones. My videos are mostly geared for DIYers and I try to keep it simple for them. I am not a framer by trade, I worked on a framing crew in between jobs over 20 years ago and I am not as versed as you in this field. I have framed garages, sheds, and sometimes room additions myself but that's about the extent of my framing capabilities. I really appreciate you reaching out to me and have a good day! Thanks! Paul

...yah, man, you do good work though! I'm now a cabinet guy and photographer and, generally, a handy man (notice I don't title myself "handyman" lol)...I still have my layout stick, which is just an aluminum rail with 1 1/2" pieces of heavy gauge aluminum welded on every 16"...it's 4' long and the stud-pieces extend 3 1/2" above and 5 1/2" below to account for 2x6 walls...it's dirt-simple to use, all you do is hold back 1/2 the width of one of the pieces, mark all the studs over that 4', shift it down and repeat on layout...FAST! I got into the trade right at the end of the track boom here in SoCal and learned from piece-workers so know some tricks...but you do really good work so keep it up! I've been thinking I could do some vids of some of my tricks (door hanging comes to mind...but there're lots more "situations" where I've developed little tricks over time) but that's for the future. I *did* buy a POV (point of view) set of glasses and am messing around with them a bit...but, dude, your vids are pro and so are you!

thanks great explanation

Making it simple , thanks

great video
