There is truly so much more to doing construction work than just knowing how to construct (form,frame,finish,etc). The management and manipulation of tools, materials and manpower all make the construction industry so challenging. Tim, you do an awesome job of highlighting these aspects in all of your videos. Also, in order to keep the work profitable, your emphasis on EFFICIENCY OF MOVEMENTS AND MATERIAL MANIPULATION is second to none! No doubt it’s because you really are an Awesome Framer😉😉! Did you see what I did there😂? Thank you for taking the time to video all of these things for us. I also love the fun loving attitude you put on display that makes the hard work seem not so hard! Much respect and appreciation for all you do and sharing it. Keep up the Awesome work!

You have to be a professional level athlete, and have brains, math skills, and know how to not kill/hurt yourself.

Man you know how to steepen a learning curve. Keep dancing.

Love how you work calm and efficiently and think everything out, wish I knew more people that work like that. Lots of respect, great video. Keep it up man!

On one hand the extra detail and real time progress is great…but on the other hand I’d love to see more progress! This is like 20 minutes of work fit into a 20 minute video. Thanks for all the great vids either way

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans! Thank you for all the info.

Bruh! I distinctly remember being taught to cary a ladder too. It was the first time I realized that, just because it’s a physical job like lifting a ladder, caring drywall, or digging hole, doesn’t mean you can disengage your brain box.

Watching this video was a pure pleasure.

What a stud. Ok, and in the end isn't it much more efficient to train your guys to be safe? I just shoved a chisel through (a door latch mortise and) my finger. Surprising and just a simple lapse that could have been much worse. Thanks Tim it's always a pleasure.

Whew! Thanks for clarifying that Tim! Anyway I have that same shoulder pain issue , back surgery, left hand reconstruction surgery , blah blah, and I hv to take meds for my pain because I refuse anymore surgical intervention! Yes I still am a finish man but I do not lift those unwieldy boards like a 20’ 2x12! Sheet goods yes but if you can not load and unload cabinets and plywood ? Anyway physical therapy helped me however I had one of the fine therapist teach me and write down those exercises ! Then I could do them myself ! Plus you gotta take an anti inflammatory? I know I know thats my meds it is just a must! Go ahead I did ; fight it! Then after 5 yrs I gave in? Ahhhhhh ! Oh and a Walgreens heating pad! Summer ice it then a little heat! Your winters u need heat treatment! Ok buddy thank you for the video God bless you and yours!

Thanks again Tim and your good helpers.Good teaching,you guys are awesome.thanks

Timmy you're my hero. I wish I could work with you and learn from a master of the trade

You guys are hilarious! Awesome channel. Great perspective. Big fan. Thank you for sharing. Much love.

Awesome video! I haven’t hand framed a roof before, but between watching you and Perkins Builders, I’m really itching to try and hand frame one instead of just using truss’s. I want to hand frame one so bad I even dreamt about laying out and cutting birds mouth’s. 😂 Thanks for the content!

I’ll more than likely watch this 20 times

You’re amazing ❤

I just love the smell of ripping Doug- Fir!

Growing up doing fine carpentry, I was so paranoid about using a circular saw and cutting past the lines for framing. Especially anything load bearing. Oh to be young again.

Tim the tool man Aka Awesome Framer

like. You guys always use the innovative gear, like RR buildings.

Great video!! Very informative

Sheesh, i dislike you. Just kidding.. lol... so much ease and knowledge being shared here.

Baahahaha! …… “below my waist I’m crazy strong” Thank you for the video

Louisville tripod is much better than the Werner tripod. and by the way #teamnoah

Is it important that the rafters always go above the ridge beam? Could they be flush with the top!

I haven't looked it up yet but do a full video on those osb saw horses if u can

Plate levels are not cheap to leave open just bought a second one it cost me 500$ with the case Great video

no dust to eat that makes everything nice

How long does 1 makita battery last on that worm drive saw when cutting rafters?

What kind of bags are those? I like how the hammer is stowed.

Always make time for a little dance on site. It's the law

Your rafters have a notch greater then 1/4th the thickness of the rafter, isnt this against code?

Hey Tim unrelated but do you ever worry about moisture and subfloor puckering/ a crawl space getting moldy due to water seeping through subfloor gaps?

@AwesomeFramers

Nope because we have a vented crawl. If everything is bad timing, we have had the crawl sprayed after it dries out to prevent any future issues.

Lol ya we were wondering..

It’s tough being the wise one, 😂

Hello, I use the speed sq. to layout my rafters. I having a very difficult time with the birds mouth! These are my measurements: 143.25 span...71-5/8 run...3/12 pitch...17.91 rise...73-13/16 diag. I make my 1st plum cut 3/12...measure down the board to 73-13/16 make 2nd plum cut...add10.5" for overhang. I come back to the 2nd plum cut...measure up 1-1/2 inch for the seat cut, then 3-1/2 inch cut. I finish off with cutting 3/4 inch for the ridge board...it doesn't fit!!! What am I doing wrong!!!

How do you like the xgt? I'm curious about battery life vs the 36v with 2 5aH batts.

Depends on what you are cutting. I have 2 of them with 5ah batteries save they can either last all day (or close) or die pretty quick. They don't seem to like to rip 2x material. But cutting rafter material or studs, subfloor, etc, they do really well, imo.

@Mike Penrod oh for sure.. We've been using the cordless saws on my crew for 3 years+ I'll bring 6 batteries to work typically. Unless I'm building stairs (cutting stringers and ripping SYP treads) I get away with a battery change around lunch, sometimes they'll die at end of day. We don't have any issues ripping, really, but we do keep fresh diablo blades on. XGT seems to have the same or better power, and is lighter. But I'm wondering about the battery life seeing as how it's less Amp hours Edit: did you mean the xgt has trouble ripping 2x? Does it have less power than the 36V, 2 batt saw?

What happened to your right hand man? You said he’s been working with you for a long time. I think his name was kyle too.

I love your videos, but please adjust your camera audio or make it monotone. Hearing you only in my right ear for this video drove me crazy and I had to stop watching.

Ladders are inherently dangerous! Hernia fell off framing a garage for drywall (adding trusses to 24” OC) a whamo bamo ! 20’ 2x10 missed the pocket my bad! Scaffolding collapses 2019 shattered foot in 6 places fell bout 16/17’ full bags I jumped as my customer undid a safety latch thinking he was helping? Heights are inherently dangerous! Yeah I know everyone tells me?

This one seemed to bore me....

So funny to see how everyone is taught differently. I’ve never seen a rafter tail cut like that after the wall to the subface.
