As a retired journeyman carpenter/ fine woodworker, I can say this is a fantastic series of videos, for younger people wanting to get into the trades you need to see every one of them. This is the stuff nobody is going to teach you when you show up on a jobsite.

I would love to see one of your style videos on trusses. You do a great job of explaining how to do framing!

We still make content, but not all of our videos make it to our Free KZread Channel. Typically we add videos to the free channel when they are about a year old.

Thank you for all those amzing videos. There's one thing tho... You've covered electricity, painting, plumbing, walls, windows, etc.. But what does it needs to support all that? FLOOR! It'd be nice to have a video covering the framing of a floor. Thanks for all of your efforts to help us all!

Need a course of proper top plate practices and how to splice in new to old as I have termite damage that has reached the top of the wall.

Great helpful channel, learning alot! One question is for running electrical wires, or HVAC Plumbing & electrical or otherwise from attic down to 1 Level ceiling on a 2 level building! Can you cut 1"/1.5"/2" diameter holes on both the double top plates/cap & top on exterior or interior walls framinged in? Will any of these cuts/holes made in any sizes mentioned above in any location throughout both of those two top plates hinder or disrupt the integrity to the strength of that wall?

Thank you.

A lot of our builders are using 19.2” OC. It’s 5 bays per 8’ of wall, floor, or roof.

Very informative... would you please re-visit the speed square using the owner's manual to guide with the use of the square and layout of rafter...many people leave out the book, I think it would be a great help for new comer's in the trade. Also could you do a full detail video using the siding brake and the different bends that apply when installing on homes... Thank you

I did get the chance to watch your basic speed square video, just was trying to get you to re-visit it with more detail, there has to be more uses for the tool then what everyone seems to be displaying.... Thank you for your response

Great video series, just watched a few including connecting exterior walls. If framing is done correctly outside sheathing will be spot on but drywall will be off by the wall thickness (3 1/2, 5 1/2). Do the drywall trades expect trimming the first piece of drywall to compensate?

@ConstructionEd

Winner winner chicken dinner - you got it exactly correct. Layout favors the sheathing - and drywall is easy to cut.

Hey man, I gotta say this great content. I have no prior wood working experience and I want to build a table top 16 by 12 foot for my slot cars. I think I can use this example to create my frame for the OSB table top. What spacing would you recommend for horizontal use? 12, 16 or 24?

@ConstructionEd

Жыл бұрын

24 inch spacing should be more than enough - slot cars are pretty light - of course unless you are planning on standing on the track to wave the checkered flag.

Great series. My question is repeating wall panels for long walls. Your next panel ( if built the same way) will double up the end studs and change the frequency of the repeating common studs. What is the best practice for building the adjoining panels? Thanks

@ConstructionEd

try to keep your layout pattern if possible - life is easier with consistent stud placement

@TheDiverJim

@@ConstructionEdfor plate seams, do you just cut them 3/4” so you have a segment terminal stud and the common stud restarts the wall segment?

How does the 1/8” spacing requirement for osb (shear wall) affect where the breaks are? For a long wall, the 1/8 would compound quickly (1/8,1/4,3/8,1/2….etc).

Now that you basically showed us how to put walls up, create rough ins for doors and windows are ya going to teach us how to build the roof too 😅😅 trusses seem to be the busiest part of the build and most complicated it seems like.

What about a Valley Truss? We do cover those in our Roof Framing Theory class.

I have never seen any advice/rule/guideline that specifies which end of a wall receives the short spacing when its length is not evenly divisible by 16 or 24 inches.

There is not defined rule - do what makes the most sense for your situation

You explained the breaking, but not how to. Everyone thinks 16" oc. Means sheathing will break. Please explain the 15 1/4" Honestly I found this video oft. Not wrong. By all means. Not trying to beat you up. Why , but not how. Oh, and I've watched several of your videos, and I am using them for training for my crew.

We talk about marking at 15 1/4 on our plate layout video. Our intention on the framing series is to teach about framing concepts - not teach how to frame. That is a separate series. Thanks for the comment and using the videos for your training.
