    I came into this video cold. This is an example of someone assuming people already know about the subject. So in that case, he would preaching to the choir. I am a 66 year old engineer but if I were a young kid and paid money for this training, I would stop him at each stage and make him explain each term. I did concrete form work during the summers when I was going to college, so I was not totally lost. I plan on doing an ICF house but was looking for a how-to on wood forming for parts that don't need insulation. I only made this comment as constructive criticism for the instructors so they can do better on future videos and maybe do this one over.✌️

If it is part of a training series, I might suggest that each video start off with a context statement like: "This is the 5th video of an 8 video series on concrete forming. It is suggested that you watch the previous videos as a prerequisite to this video." On another subject, I saw a guy building his house who couldn't get a form work crew for his porch build so he did it himself using PVC pipe and threaded rods instead of snap-ties. This causes PVC tunnels throughout the wall. He then uses a rotary hammer drill to push out the PVC tubes. He didn't need the wall to be waterproof, so he just left the holes open. What would be the best affordable way to fill those holes, assuming a waterproofing membrane would be used? I'd want to fill the whole tunnel, not just plug the openings. It seems like closed cell expanding foam would be sufficient, cheap, and easy to apply. As you can tell, I know just enough to be dangerous!🤣

    Not sure if you still check the comments… thanks a lot for this. When we were learning this in class, we used a run of 15 for the hips instead of 16.971, could you explain to me where the 15 comes from? I understand that the hip run is the square root of the product of 12/12 for a 45 degree angle, just very confused where the 15 comes into play. Is this a common ratio between different slopes?

  • @scottfleming
    @scottfleming6 ай бұрын

    I'm not sure where the 15 comes from. 13 is the Unit run of a hip on an octagonal roof. Maybe it was just a number that was picked to lay out the plumb cuts on an unequal hip/val with your framing square. It's all just proportional to the total run and total rise. So, what you use as the unit run for an unequal hip/val doesn't matter as long as it maintains a constant ratio with the total rise and run.

    That is all fine and dandy for a fine line drawing, when you add wood things change dramatically. To have the same over hang you have to raise the heal height of the steeper pitch to meet at the same time, therefore the hip will need to shift from the corner to make the hip plane at the wall plates at the Same point, also when you add a ridge board. your half span for the 5/12 would be 95.25 95.25 run/setback and for the 8/12 would be a 59.527 run/setback. The ridge board would be 97”, that is not a correct drawing for a wood framed roof weather it be hand cut or roof trusses having the same overhang. That drawing shows both the wall corner plate and Facia being in the same line, that does not work with having to make the heal height taller for the 8/12

  • @scottfleming
    @scottfleming Жыл бұрын

    I appreciate the comment. It's tough to see in the video but the drawing clearly shows the hip offset from the corner. You can tell in the video that it does not run at 45 degrees. And yes, of course you need to pay attention to your height above plates (the heel). Often the difference is too great to simply adjust the birds mouth and the wall has to be built up on the steeper side. So I understand what you are saying but the drawing is fine. If your projection is equal then the fascia and corner of the building have to line up (2' out and 2' over for example), just the hip runs offset from 45.

    It appears this is a training facility for apprentices. It’s good for apprentices to develop building and tool skills doing it the old school way. Also there are so many types of formwork systems they can’t teach them all. To move from the more skilful old school to easy systems is easy. Not so easy the other way. But the most important part is to have apprentices to learn skills and get a good understanding of the structural requirements in building. Once this is really understood, problem solving on site becomes much easier. A good carpenter or builder needs these skills.

    Short ends are great for low walls where lateral pressure on the formwork is minimal. Or maybe if space is limited, like a monolithic curb and stair form. Once you start getting taller forms, the pressure compounds and walers and stongbacks make it easier to maintain consistent wall thickness and straight, plumb forms.

For basements I would consider snap tie but for most residential stem walls I really think the simple wedge tie with 2x10s is so straight forward & has to compete with other panelized systems pricewise. Myself & 1 other did a form prep (8" thick) for a 46 x 48 ft foundation with 4 intermediate walls within in 2 weeks thats digging, outer wall, steel, inner wall, all bracing, j bolts & hold downs. Its quick & easy to form & break down.

With your total rise above plates 14.5" if you have a stand (Height Above Plates - or material left in the bird' mouth at the building line) of only 2 3/16" you will have a slope on the main (front) commons of 2/12. That would make the total rise from top of fascia to top of ridge 14 5/16" and a slope on the end commons of 3 3/16 / 12. The slope of the unequal hips are 1 11/16 / 12. You can change the stand of the main commons but that would change the slope from the 2/12 of the main commons. With a projection of 12" you'd be fine with a 2 3/16" stand. To the outside of fascia the length of your rafters are: Main commons 87 3/16" End commons 55 7/8" Hips 102 9/16" length of the jacks depends on your OC spacing and actual lengths of all need to be shortened proportional to the size of your fascia stock.

I don't know how much you were thinking but if your ridge was 128" then you could have equal slope on all sides and your hips would run at 45 degrees making the layout and assembly easier. Plus it looks better from underneath if your rafters are exposed. I'm not sure you were thinking of taking that much off though... 32" from each end is a fair bit. Either way the slope is not too steep and a shorter ridge will give you more of a sweeping look.

    You set the bevel to your circular, saw to a 45. However, before circular saws were used, rafters were hand cut. So you would have to lay out that angle. The angle in plan view, looking down on the rafter is not a true 45 because it's a compound angle.

    Hi Dillon. Yes, the hips and valleys have the same overall length. This is because they are both laid out from the fascia to the ridge and run at the same angle (parallel to each other) relative to the main ridge. They do hit the plate at different spots. The run of the hip from fascia to building line is longer than that of the valley. This extra bit of run makes up the extra rise. Hope that makes sense!

  • @scottfleming

    Hi Dillon. Yes the height above plate is the same as the commons on the steep side. You'll have to "drop the hip" a little and because of the angle it runs at (not 45 degrees). So its not the same as equal slope. Remember that the theoretical measurements are to the centre and that your birdsmouth will be deeper because (typically) your hips are one lumber size up from your commons and jacks.
