Ha. It was meant to be a demo. We did another video where we built the opening

Steel studs you drywall the soft side first, there is a bottom and a top to the stud , the knock outs are for stiffening channel to fit, so you know which is the bottom, always cut the tops of studs for length so stiffening channel can be set at 4 foot height

YES....Always THINK 🤔 of the next step for the other trades so we can all work together 💯🙌 That is the way it use to be, & it makes it a better day for all, I'm just saying let's all work together 💯💯🙌🙌

One important element that I teach my students is to wear safety glasses at all times. I worked a commercial site was never allowed to work without safety glasses.

Thanks for your True comment. What a great trade to bestow. I grew up with a construction family. My grandfather use to tell his kids the same thing. They didn’t listen. But I did. Construction, building with your hands. Getting your hands dirty is one of my favorite outlets.

Great video bro. Can you please make more detailed step by step videos. I’ve looked for a channel like this and your like the first guy I’ve seen that’s good for beginners to watch. Thank you for thinking about the beginners.

Awesome stuff, work made simple

This is hella well done. Thanks y’all. I’ll be going through the whole channel 👌🏼🤓

Steel framing. Less punch holes, etc. No splitting wood. Less imperfect cuts. Insurance coverage less costly. Bring United States of America back strong. Let’s get this economy back. Let’s get tradesmen trained with great trade skills that can last a life time.

The tradesmen is the biggest part of that equation. We have to make sure to get the younger generations on board to get their hands dirty in construction.

Something to mention in your video. The knock outs in the studs are made to run one way not either way. If they are ran upside down then it’s not right if you have to put cold rolled channel in your walls. Besides that great video.

You set a lazer angle to a steel line. Now you make a mark on drywall. You out aredy. Set a lazer on the layout and start with a top track. Is way easier

See if u install them around the stove , how do u / if u have2 make sure u allowed a movement for the metal expounding? How would I go about that ?

Bronson Bowers is correct there is a top and bottom to a stud , the 3/4' slot is on the bottom ,ALWAYS. usually followed by another punched hole. So top down 1-1/2'" then 3/4" and punched hole. if a stud needs trimmed cut off the top of the stud. The punched hole is usually used to tiewire things down like conduit, MK cables CRC channel or what ever is running through the wall.

Those punched holes CAN be used for conduit/wire etc BUT it is there for black iron when structural engineers call for it. No clue who you’re talking about. The holes are a structural component.

Why wouldn’t you just put your Dewalt laser on top of your bottom track to plumb up? You turning your laser to one point then to the other is the definitely an odd way about doing things. Or if you don’t have your bottom track down first. Put your laser on that line and transfer up the marks above.

Yes user, you are right, soft side first. Use reinforcing bar. Even if the soft side moves away, at least the next sheet can close that gap, which you can't do if you board the hard side first. Also, it's faster to put your laser on the line and screw top track first.
