I should get a positive placement nailer. Extending my garage right now to add a 3rd garage and deepen the existing garages another 10 ft since I have a milling machine, lathe, welding table, etc in there. Hand drove 75 feet of CS16 strapping today with a 10D in every hole. At least I have a good hammer!

Ugh dude, Thats like 1000 nails! So it might show up in a later video but since the tecos really don't fit into cs straps that well I just use my framing nailer most of the time for cs types :-) For this job I bought a metabo 36v teco gun. It worked flawlessly until the guide slide broke off on a heavy 12ga hanger. Got the replacement part in the mail and the piece was so buried in the gun it was almost a complete disassembly to replace it and I took apart the wrong piece and the thing exploded in my kitchen. Poor design all around, shame they are the best performing cordless nailers out there but i'll never buy another.

Very curious re that Simpson wall thingy … if it’s so “engineered”, does it have an actual torque requirement ? I read all the comments and this in particular doesn’t seem to be addressed. Also, IS there an expensive, bespoke wrench available? love the build and yo style ✌️

@ShredPile

14 күн бұрын

That's an excellent question and no, I have never found a torque spec or a wrench for one and personally I think they avoid it by crafting the panel in such a way that it actually remains a wood bottomed panel and the steel bracketry does not make contact with any other hard surface so it's a 'soft' join as it were and a torque target zone would be too ambiguous. It's more likely that it would noted as turn-of-nut and that's how I treat it. I've assembled larger Simpson branded moment frames before that used torque indicating washers so I know they are thorough about things. In all honesty I would be a good time watching someone even trying to get a torque wrench on it in the first place:-) Thanks for checking out the series!

ah, I didn’t notice that it’s not metal to metal so no torque makes more sense…although the no easy wrench access is still a head scratcher! thanx for responding…will carry on enjoying your channel ✌️

How did u change for building home and is a custom home?

I'm assuming the inspector (if required in your state) will accept photo's showing the finished nailing of the strong wall nail plates, prior to sheeting :) Nice site made spanner by the way. I'm sure the supplier sells a bespoke version, but I hate to think how expensive that one would cost :) Really enjoying this series, I'll probably go back and watch it again from the beginning once it's completed.

@ShredPile

Totally required and Ironically I pinned up photos just today for them showing the install. Sometimes burying things like that is unavoidable and they are usually pretty chill about things if they see you are being thorough everywhere else. I'm really glad this build has been a hit with you, It definitely makes me think a bit more going into my other jobs about how to best document it.

What do those panels do? Never seen anything like that. Time stamp 36.02

@ShredPile

They are shear wall panels that are strong enough to replace long sections of conventionally built wall which allows for more windows or other openings. I saw your earlier comment about Shoyan, I watch him as well and have drooled over just those flat offset ratchets of his. Unfortunately they would not fit either. Even a conventional box end wrench won't work. If it even fits in the hole the flared neck can't make enough of a sweep to tighten the bolt. It's just the dumbest thing ever.

the designers of that unwrenchable hold down thingy ought to be locked in a stockade where you can free yourself, but only by loosening a nut you can barely reach with a wrench that has to be repositioned after every 1/32 turn

So the saw itself is a Homedepot emergency buy Rigid (don't like it) when the previous bosch (loved it) died mid job. The table is made by Rousseau as are the outfeed tables. the stand alone table was a chopsaw table by the same company that I just put a solid top on. I've replaced all the top with MDO plywood since it's lighter than the formica'd mdf that comes with them and it holds up better in the rain. I just keep modifying different saws to fit into it as needed..

@ShredPile

That's a great Idea and for the record I loathe working with that stuff. It was never proposed and I wonder about the coverage, I know they will foam the insides but on some of the beams they are so wide the entire wall sits outboard of the web so probably better to ensure coverage with the polyiso.
