I worked for a Carpenter when I was 13-14 years old. The two back to back summers and experience I gained from Mr. William was incredibly invaluable. The man did everything from framing, roofing, to finish carpentry and I’ll never forget the attention to detail coupled with his rate of speed to get things done was truly fascinating. These tips of the trade are so simple yet you would only know these tips if you spent time working alongside these fine gentlemen.

This always gets you the angle of the dangle, but you gotta go through extensive training to understand the slide of the glide!​@@BRC_Construction

Bring your speed square all the way down till It has full contact with the 2 x 4 and let the chalk line determine the angle instead of doing your best to let the chalk line go down the edge of the speed square. In other words, let your chalk line go to the 49° mark.

Actually you just set the lip of the square on the board and the plumb line will indicate the pitch/angle. That way u can set it and let it settle without in-accurately representing the angle by trying to line the line up with the edge of the square. With your method you’re also making a line of sight reading with the board edge which changes with your vantage point rather then reading the line right against the square…. but you were close

@raphaeldonovan781

6 ай бұрын

Not quite, your method will show a level cut not a plumb cut. His method will show an actual pitch, I like to use a torpedo level in the same way he is doing it, but if you want to find the actual pitch or hip/val he is doing right. But either or it's pretty easy to convert the two ways.

Joshcarter is correct, the plumb line will indicate 49° on this example

@raphaeldonovan781

6 ай бұрын

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what Josh is trying to say, but if I read it right he is saying to set the lip of the square directly on the board and let the plumb line show you the angle, which is right if you are looking for a level cut and not a pitch. A square held level off of the pivot will give you pitch, For example let's say that you are working with a 5/12 pitch which is around 22.5 degrees and you held your lip against the edge of your board, then your plumb line would read 68° Which would be a level cut, But I guess it all depends on what works best for you. Heck back when I started we learned from a framing square, we had to get our rise and run right. Speed squares definitely simplify the process, they even put nice little scribe marks for you.

I used to frame houses a few years ago. Left it because it was not worth $9 an hour in the Florida sun. Asked my boss "What level do I need to get to make $15+?" His response was "The level where you make me $2000 per hour." I quit on the spot.

Who knew? the chalk line and square could be a plum bob, thats a good one.

The ancient egyptians used squares very similar to this with weighted strings for maintaining the angle while constructing pyramids. Make a video explaining all the uses of a square, like the other numbers, uses/reasons for the cut out sections on a aquare, etc.

Very clever. I didn't know that. Not a framer. Thanks for sharing this with us.

I've used that system as a boilermaker. Very handy!

Damn. I’ve been wondering how to figure that out for 3 years now. Thanks

You sir are indeed, a remarkable man.😊

great tip, I have always, used a level with bulb, and drew a line on the board plumb. Then moved my square up to that line. A plumb line would be much easier, more accurate, and probably faster. TY. I have seen squares with a level bulb, but uneven parts of a board can throw that off. And shorter distances are less accurate.

How simple and effective at the same time, thank you.
