That's also the same in Denmark!

I love telling people what the black diamonds are for not very many people know. Good on you

These are NOW AVAILABLE on Etsy, and they are currently on sale! Link in the description if you are interested!

Tis known

Also stops the devil from sitting on it 🇮🇪

Really lovely. Thank you.

I knew what it was for, but in 25 years of building have never used it and probably never will

Sir if your son enters the trades his bosses will be in your debt. I can't believe how many people i hire count lines. Or want an idiot tape

Seen this guy on Ted Lasso

Selling you less lumber for more money saving the environment

This is the kind of information i like to know as a young man in the trades

Least we use mm and cm now 🎉🎉🎉

What a clever solution to a problem you only have because you measure stuff in body parts.

Cheap crap. Floppy walls. Unstable. Quality versus minimal savings. Lazy work.

"Saving the environment" You're using the same amount of wood, just cutting less.

I

Should be asking. "What are these numbers on the other side of the tape?" "Well son, that's metric, your son will use that one day like the rest of the world"

They are for engineered i-joists that have a 3 1/2 top plate allowing for the wider center.

Wood is good for the environment, it’s sustainable, and plentiful. The idea that using less helps is ridiculous.

I’ve got 114-year-old house and I’m lucky to find two studs that are exactly 19 1/4 apart. Of course, all the studs are true two by fours which I think are oak which are probably old growth oak.

The black diamonds are also a quick way to go through and mark 16 on center if the diamonds are on intervals of 16, because that's one of two typically accepted code for framing stud measurements in the u.s. the other is 24 on center.

Black Diamonds!, for Liliths hand in marrige, OBVIOUSLY!! 😉😂

For Canadians.

The diamonds are older than plywood. The spacing was for lath and plaster studs.

All you need is a jigsaw and a drill .... super easy to make and it could be the first of a kind I haven't come across any other Christmas tree sconces... the idea just came to me after making other traditional sconces ...

The 16 on center is for structure. You can't just change it. Never use the internet to learn how to build a house.

They also call if fireman killer spacing. You save like 3 joists a house just pet em at 16

I have seen a lot of variations on wooden Christmas trees and a lot of variations on sconces/ candle holders but I hadn't come across a Christmas tree sconce....so I thought lets make one... let me know if there is other Christmas tree sconces 🌲🌲🌲

When I did building I always did 16” center. More studs and trusses= sturdier build.

Great idea 👍

One of the worst possible layout methods ever

Rectangles are squares

It s called a cubit

As the laughter came, dad was proud. He has taught you well.

It's not *_a square_* but it is *_square_* 😅

Making houses cost more yet being much poorlier built requiring replacements sooner

That is a rectangle…. But it’s a square rectangle 😂

Regrets for a moment not having worn a condom

Just sad how contractors are trying to cut corners , and turn out flimsy junk!

All squares are rectangles, technically.

😂😂😂😂 dad was flabbergasted 😂😂😂

I thought it was some dimension brick layers and masons needed

Floors/walls are still built like this in western canada. Not every house but its not uncommon either

Thats true don't believe it. Its for layout of silent floor trusses

How is 5 instead of 6 saving on timber ??? It's still the same 8 foot width. 😮

This english guy i know said ur wrong, and i kinda believe him.

Engineered floor joists, and to mess with apprentices…

Just use metric....

It was for TGI floor joist

That's why trusses keep cracking in all these new developed houses. They have no structural integrity.
