Framers fascinate me. I'm a finish guy! I'd just be done sharpening my pencil by the time this dude has dropped 80 sheets of plywood. Impressive as hell!
If you’re in your 30s and grunt and huff and ooff like an old man you’re the real deal, I can confirm this means you’re a professional, framing ages you
I thought that was a full sized nailer at first was gonna say your forarms must be jacked haha nice job i staple at the same speed and angle it like you i know alot of people dont even angle the staple guns were they join and usually only have half the staples go threw.
Young guys like to move fast, wait until 20 years from now, I started 40 years ago when everything was nailed with a hammer, now I am shot! Good thing I am retired
Shit, I'm only 30 and my body's already fucked from building houses & doing roofs since I was young. Mostly doing roofs that's screwed my knees & back but, I definitely feel it when I'm just framing or sheathing simple stuff like walls.
Pretty much any trade will wear you out if not done ergenomically (not always a choice). Many parts of my young days i wish i would have done smarter. Not worried about the .. Just get it done. I have all kinds of random problems these days.
It’s ok working at heights like that on an icy day but, when you sit back and actually think about what you are doing, reality dawns. I worked over there over thirty years ago also doing framing and remember one of the team telling me he was still paying off the $20,000 hospital bill when he fell off a roof and broke his leg. These days you could multiply this figure by at least 5x to get it to todays prices. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the work over there. I learnt a lot but went back to the UK as work was easier and of course- less risky. I never had the money while I was there for medical insurance but I certainly hope you have. Well done - good video.😊
@@framingbeast720 yup thats you bro. Im not sure the brand of your forklift but i know it lol. I even helped you lift your second floor backwall a couple weeks ago. Ill come say what up tmrw.
Framing beast is the right name for you ! Damn.....Nice Boots...LOL I had a friend years ago who was a framer and when I asked him what he did for a living he said he was a "Wood Butcher" !
Try putting a small weight on your rope and hose to keep it under the smallest amount of tension. It keeps that stuff out of the way. That’s why climbers tie their excess rope in a ball.
@@framingbeast720 Yeah a stopper knot is a must. If you add some weight to your line the rope grab will work smoother too. Last thing, if a less fiddly rope grab is worth 200 bucks to you check out the Petzl ASAP Lock. The rope access equipment and harnesses are just so much better than the fall protection in a box. The stuff actually works like you think it should. Anyways love your vids and I get a lot of inspiration from them.
@@framingbeast720 I think my other comment was deleted. Check out the Petzl ASAP lock if 200 is worth a rope grab that doesn’t suck. Also a little tension on the rope makes them work a lot smoother. Regardless a safety knot at the edge is definitely a must. All the rope access equipment is so much better. The stuff works like you’d expect. Unlike the fall protection in a box.
no wonder every time I go drop off the drills my apprentice break at the repair center there are carpenters nailer and stapler pilled up every where you guys use them as a hammer LOL.
Man I just hate having to repair bad ply wood decking that has been stapled. If people would learn how to install shingles it wouldn’t be a problem....but I know it will always be a problem
Glad we aren't required to use H clips where I'm framing. And after sheathing a house with plywood, I miss OSB. It curls up and gets all twisted and our current build, the subfloor is looking like crap.
To the OP, framing beast is also confident because he is smart and ropes up. Taking the one anxiety away from your mind by knowing for a fact you won't hit the ground is a game changer. I wish the company I worked for actually believed in using harnesses and fall arrest. It's the wiser way to work.
One side is rough and the other is smooth usually. Generally the rough side is the right side up cause you'll go sliding right off the roof if you were to use the slick side. Other than that not really.
I want to see the underside of all those sheets and wether or not this guy's just installing coat racks for the mice. I'm leary of anyone doing anything too fast.
when were kids we play lego and kinects, then we use puzzles and then 3d puzzles and models and it goes on...this part of men comes from God's paternal nature printed into men hearts to become more than they knew they could be..by his grace
I framed like this for 20+ yrs, now my body is riddled with arthritis every joint in my body is inflamed and inpained, wouldn't trade the experience for anything though, enjoy that youthful body young man ,it grows old fast .
Hawaii here, never seen that gun used for sheathing, we use 8s with hurricane clips. What nails are you using? Maybe it’s code for us to use 8s because of high winds with hurricanes and tropical storms 🤔 all in all great job! Fast paced work is always better then slow paced. When you go fast and deliver quality the day goes by quick and you can have a beer with no fucks giving cause you know you killed it! 🤙🏽🌴🤙🏽🌴
How do you know your trusses are on center without layout marked? Also without layout on the sheets, how do you know you are hitting the truss with the staples? Pretty cool.
You can usually tell by sighting the length of the truss. Most of the time if there’s no visible bow then it’s fine. Also there’s a little bit more recoil when you’re hitting the wood underneath the sheet when you hit it compared to when you miss. Just keep shooting a little to the left or right if you miss the first time until you find it and go straight up or down from there
I believe they are Dakota high tops with tarantula grip from Mark's work warehouse. That's where I get my'n and they look the exact same from what I can see.
here in California..that would be 3/4" plywood and the pitch would be at least a 7or a 8 /12 pitch for the snowload.....I just finished one in Big Bear ,Calif.....3/4 " ply..and a 12/12 pitch .... the wrap around patio with 3 layers ..5/8" t111 .5/8"drywall, 5/8"osb for fire protection...
Calif is out of control. Every year the engineering gets worse. Wait till next year after the fires and they add even more. Almost better to build a house out of concrete and steel rafters. The sprinkler systems are very expensive and mandatory. I dont know how anyone can afford to build in calif anymore. The cost of the house build /lot has to be way more than the mkt value when completed.
I had a 70 year old jackass foreman tell me I should be using my old 22oz waffle Estwing and not that new fancy hammer I bought. Glad to see a pro using the same one I upgraded to.
Must be nice to be able to use sidewall Staples to nail down sheathing you're in the Northeast Cape Cod Massachusetts we get sheathing inspections and it needs to be flushed nailed every 3 in staggered on the seams with 131 ring shank Two and a Half Inch Nails absolutely ridiculous I could fly if all I had to do is staple it down
Can't believe you're up there with no scaffold or safety rail. Over here in Australia we can't even stand trusses on an 8 foot high house frame, have to erect them from a ladder. Heavy safety restrictions here, ok didn't see your safety lanyard
i just saw when he reload so i dont know exact but prettu much looks like 1inch + 3/4 long , im metric guy so probl im wrong ^^ but cool ive never seen our guys use dis
Being afraid of heights I find these videos scarier than any horror flick. I wish I could get over that fear, but pretty sure it’s too late for me. Great work though.
I worked with a framing crew for a summer when I was 19. Found it wasn't for me, so I switched to finish carpentry. Currently riding a desk as an engineer and miss working with my hands...remodeling my house makes me consider returning to the trade.
I’d say whoever you’re working for is getting their money’s worth. Great watching a “Pro” at work. Thanks for sharing this.

As a roofer I love how you pull your facia nails! Thumbs up!
crazy how they trust the staples instead of it being 8D"s
Crazy how it’s actually stronger and cheaper too
@@maedre3750 now dYS is about saving up
Here in Illinois, we have to use 2-3/8 ring shanks for roofs.
I am currently trying to redeck an entire roof done with staples and its much harder to rip them off than if it were done with nails
@@NoWheyHombre lol lucky cause down at florida keys they want 16d nails because of strong winds
Half of The Trick to being that Fast is...
Have Air Supply & Hose System-- that can Keep up.. 🤣😂
Very true
I'm going to invest in .Bostich staples. They'll never go out of business
🤣🤣
I thought that was a full sized nailer at first was gonna say your forarms must be jacked haha nice job i staple at the same speed and angle it like you i know alot of people dont even angle the staple guns were they join and usually only have half the staples go threw.
So true..I angle the stapler because it catches the truss underneath with both prongs crossing the grains or the 3/8 ply and the 2x4 material

There’s gonna be thousands of shiners after you get your shingles on who gives a fuck If he missed a few staples
@@i8dapuszy I don’t care about shiners from my shingles greenhorn but I want my god damn plywood nailed to my trusses
Brendan Sierra no, you just want something to bitch and moan about. Good thing you can tell when you miss a staple.

We such a roof is 2 to 3 days incl insulation. I mentioned hinge covers before. Can be a good industry out there
Wow man I thought these cali houses were built cheap, but at least we use thick plywood and nails lol. Shoty ass roofs where ever your at hahahaha.
In my opinion this mode of working is causing serious self harm.
Down here we send full 3/4 sheets up
You forgot the 1/8 inch spacing for expansion
shut up
H clips do that

Really staples !? Where’s the layout ?
My exact thought lol...they staple where they lay 🤣🤣...im trying to wrap my head around 3/8 on 2ft layout lol
no wonder every time I go drop off the drills my apprentice break at the repair center there are carpenters nailer and stapler pilled up every where you guys use them as a hammer LOL.
Ya man ain't nobody got time to use a hammer to hammer
My mentor would lose his shit every time I hammered wood with my nailer. "That's an EXPENSIVE FUCKING HAMMER!!!" Hahahaha!!!!
Man I just hate having to repair bad ply wood decking that has been stapled. If people would learn how to install shingles it wouldn’t be a problem....but I know it will always be a problem
Are staples better for sheeting or are nails. I see you using staples but I've seen nails also is it what your given or do you have a preference
Its fast food of house building to use staples. They dont care if the roof separates in 15 years. Tear it down and build new.
shouldn't there be an 1/8" gap or a 8d nail width between sheets?
That's what the "H" clips are for. You can see him put them on
I just wanna know if staples are up to code in Arizona I just run a nail gun and shoot like this but the staple gun seems awesome if they hold well
wow bro youre such a hard worker what a hero
Thankyou
Glad we aren't required to use H clips where I'm framing. And after sheathing a house with plywood, I miss OSB. It curls up and gets all twisted and our current build, the subfloor is looking like crap.
I’m a concrete guy but this right here seems entertaining as well
I wear nike skate shoes because of the grip but ive been trying to find out what the hell u wear when u dek... The best non slip boots
I was a roofer. Hightop skate shoes are the best.
The trick is keep them clean clean. Any dust makes you slip like crazy.
Check our Dakota tarantula grip boots...I like to stick to them for there grip on ply...good grip breeds confidence
Dunlop volleys in Australia
You can’t also get them with a steel toe
To the OP, framing beast is also confident because he is smart and ropes up. Taking the one anxiety away from your mind by knowing for a fact you won't hit the ground is a game changer. I wish the company I worked for actually believed in using harnesses and fall arrest. It's the wiser way to work.
Flat bottom soles are definitely where it’s at! In Florida steel toe boots on the ground but you can wear sneakers on a roof
Is that a staple gun? I use the NR83A are staples an east coast thing?
Does it matter which side of the 4’x8’ sheet gets laid down? The ink side or the plain side gets faced down? Super quick nailing there, bro! Nice!
It does not matter in this region, As long as the inspector can see the stamp on a sheet or two thats's fine
One side is rough and the other is smooth usually. Generally the rough side is the right side up cause you'll go sliding right off the roof if you were to use the slick side. Other than that not really.
You only have to move that fast if your not getting paid enough
Really!!...some people actually have work ethic 🙄
@@mitcheliott7052 right some of us enjoy being productive and pushing ourselves.
How many did u miss in a sheet of ply...should show or tell us.you don't get quality with speed
I want to see the underside of all those sheets and wether or not this guy's just installing coat racks for the mice.
I'm leary of anyone doing anything too fast.
When you do the same thing everyday for so many years you’re going to build up speed and rhythm
Lol
I was just thinking the same thing when I was watching the video, I could see some not hit the trus, I’m sorry but good pace & communication
You can feel the difference between a hit and a miss. Is very obvious.
@@framingbeast720
Yes you can feel it the trick is finding a guy who actually cares. 👌
Mad skills man!
No better than anyone who knows what's up out there
I can’t stand harness’s almost better to hit the ground than suddenly an abruptly stop mid air
Great video
We aren't allowed to staple sheathing here.
Sheets are upside down. Stamp goes facing inward
what shoes are you wearing? I'm looking for a decent pair of work shoes. Safety toe would be nice. Thanks, Great vids too!

You’re working like you own that company! Shiiiet
I think he does
Lol I do
Staples to hold your sheet? Where you located
Bro thats what im saying thats wack
Staples grab better than nails
In central mass we use 8 penny ring shank with factory adhesive on the first 1/3 of the nail. Once it cures you better hope your courses are on point.
New shoes, what kind? Look to be grip good.
Ring shank only way to go imo especially if you live near gulf of Mexico.
Why is that? Galvanized staple not allowed?
Not pulling layout? I like my shirt straight
Why wouldn't your shirt be straight?
Maybe he forgot to tuck it in
Staples and 3/8 plywood. Wth
Tell me please What is the name of this nayler model?
Good work and fast too. But you should ser us in sweden. We are fast too. Think i will do som recording on our work.

See u got the dewalt hammer what I think about it?
Okay, someone has to say it. How many shiners are there when your done.
None. I'm serious...when I'm done my roofs I do a thorough walk over the entire roof for any high staple or any areas where I could add more.
I like your cutman !!! Didn't hafta send a single piece back for a re-cut lol.
How do you like the Bostitch stapler? I've heard mixed feelings about their products.
There framers may as well be boat anchors but there roofing, stalkers and hanger guns are great
what are the specs on your hammer whered you get it
Looks like the DeWalt 14oz mig welder hammer.
What kind of boots are you wearing bro they look awesome i use the artic mucks boots .. as i work in the dakota winters as well
Stapler vs nailer what y’all think is better
What hose are you using mate?
Looks like 6/8mm PU line or 1/4 ,5/16 for you weirdo fractional guys 😂
You are a beast bruva! My roofers could learn a thang or two from you! Lol
Thanks Sean, I use to watch RUclips roofing vids for inspiration
What boots are these?!
Wtf is code there?? ? We always use 8p on roof sheeting ring shank 8s if u can.
Are the staples stronger than 8's ?
No
Hold better and cheaper
