Folks are missing the point.This video is for noncarpenters & beginner's. She does a great job.
Thanks, Mark, thank you for recognizing that this video was certainly not intended for those doing production work in the field, but is meant for homeowners doing DIY projects. How I approached this topic for DIY-ers is very different than how I would present it to apprentices.
Mark Kleffner I was thinking the exact same thing. Leah, you are doing an awesome job!
@@carlocarbonaro6686 All of that is fine, but 3rd grade math? Please....
@@seejanedrill Good video for beginners, and we are all beginners at one time. Everything you said was correct. there are just different ways to explain it. As an old framer, I'm finding the comments hilarious!
The very spirit of your videos are wonderful. Never stop
As a 35+ year carpenter/furniture builder, I still am amazed at how much knowledge is out there for those who are willing to listen to someone else.
Often I have worked for people who knew less and that made a real problem for me😢
You're exactly correct sir often people don't listen to nobody.. it's all in the attitude of willing to receive information over your own knowledge one no knowledge exists in the first place it's a hilarious I've seen people just like that
I am really amazed that a lot of people are willing to share what they know in RUclips. In real life, I meet a lot of so called carpenter don't want to share any. That's why I always have a lot of respect and appreciation of those youtubes.
I feel like she's the favorite teacher I never knew.
Me too. Calm, comforting demeanour about her.
She's a very, very good teacher, I agree 😄
I love watching her and Tom Silva of Ask This Old House.
Id pay to be in a carpentry class with her as instructor!
Oh shit thats a chick???
When Leah says, "You, you can do this," I believe her. She's a cool teacher.
She waits too much time marking both sides of the stud. She would not be allowed to do that on my job. You make one mark and set the stud on the x. No carpenter carries a framing square in their nail pouch
@@mikefratz2938 You miss her point, there are many folks not knowing what a framing square is nor how to use it. Thus she is demonstrating one of its many uses. Your "on my job" comment is immaterial to this demonstration video; quite pompous of you. By the way it is not waits, the word you wanted is wastes. Yes, you can use a speed square, or tape measure for laying out studs, neither is the purpose of her video.
@@ricdonato4328 I don't mean to come across as arrogant but people should know that in using a framing square it lay out studs can easily result in layout being off. If you layout a 50ft wall with a square by the time you get to the end of the wall you will be off. I would never recommend that method. The sure way to be on is to run a tape the entire length of the wall that way you ensure that each stud is exactly where it should be. Never ever measure stud to stud it is bad practice and should not be recommended
Wow, so I've seen a lot of stuff put together for beginners. I mean lots of stuff. This lady makes the most accessable and, I daresay, most useful beginner videos I've come across. She is like Bob Ross for carpentry!
I was a handyman (pretty good one, if i do say so myself cause I never had one fail in all of my work and I've seen my work from THIRTY years ago still doing great) and this lady did very well for her target audience. She is a very good teacher and anticipated what people would be confused by and addressed those things in her video. Excellent job with no jerk attitude, which is what I found when I was dealing with workers in the trades all those years. 🙏
Leah, you are awesome. You are a teacher's teacher. Your voice is clear and concise, no um's and uh's. Professional and keeping it simple. I wish I had you as my first year instructor.
Thank you for empowering folks who are not necessarily handy or knowledgeable. Great work. I love ya
Absolutely the best teacher and mentor I've seen on RUclips by far.. I've learned everything I need to know to get started building a shed outside as a father's day gift for my husband in about 30 mins. I never leave comments on videos but I couldn't resist... Leah your blessed at what you do and your real gift is sharing with the masses who would be lost without your tutorials. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND STAY BLESSED. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
MISTY SALINAS
Blessings to you and what your doing, I’ve been a carpenter 35 years and love you to taking me back where I began, and all the people you are patiently teaching to build with there own hands. You will never be hungry when you learn how to make money with your hands. God be with you
Well, unless you loose your hands so you know... Watch out for that. Be smart.
Most carpenters I work with go hungry because they blew their money on beer and weed
This is true, I learned to work with my hands and trade skills when I was young and have never gone unemployed or hungry unless it was my choice.
What a lovely message. 😊
Very true my friend 👍
As a carpenter of 30 years I know most of your tricks, most, not all so thank you. Being a female carpenter, I find it refreshing and easy to listen to you. A pleasure, good work. Sure is nice to learn new things when you have a passion for your work.
I know this isn't the video for it but I want to to know that "ticking stick" info was awesome. 👍🏾 Thanks for sharing your work and advice
The ticking stick video was brilliant 👍
I loved learning about the ticking stick! What a genius tool!
Jane, you are a great teacher. Many folks can learn by your patience and techniques.
I have been a construction carpenter and building contractor for over forty years. I love people like you who know how to teach apprentices! The catch is finding somebody that only needs to be shown once or twice instead of over and over again! Honestly people have no idea just how many tricks there are in the carpentry trade. Master craftsmen teach many tricks which then gives the tradesman foundation to expand and develop many additional tricks.
I've been a supervisor for 10 years. And not to be a dick but if you have to show someone something like this more than once or twice, you gotta get them out of the door and hire someone that can do the job. It sounds mean but you can tell early on if someone has the aptitude for something like this. There's no reason to waste time trying to teach someone that can't when you could be building a crew that you can count on.
This video was more beginner than I needed, (I can't imagine trying to build a frame if I didn't already know a 2x4 is really a 1.5x3.5!) but honestly hearing Leah say "YOU, YOU CAN DO THIS" at the end of the video is always worth it! Great beginner info and encouraging to keep up with carpentry!
Thank you for such great videos! As a diy’er, I appreciate the excellent tips and just let your videos run while I happily work on my 40 year old home. My friends come over to use power tools and help rip out a bathroom. Empowering people to take on tasks they didn’t know was possible!
Being a DIY with no training and no construction experience, I stumbled upon this the last walls I built. Would have been nice to know 20 years ago.
Thanks, keep teaching us the basics, the skills, and the tips and tricks.
Give this woman her own television show. She's fantastic!!
Again your instructions are clear and concise, most excellent.
Leah is great at breaking things down, making them simple. Excellent teacher.
I love your videos Leah you're so kind and I bet you were a great mentor on your trade. I love that you are spreading knowledge to the masses.
I wanna hug her, she’s so nice!
I know this is an older video, but I wanted to take a moment and let you know how much I appreciate your channel.
You keep things understandable, your content is helpful, and I’m very impressed by your channel’s growth.
Keep it up!!!
I love you so much for everything you have taught me. I've never gone to carpentry school, but I'm building vicariously through your videos.
Thank you so much !
Its a shame that they're so many hateful people, that like to put others down because of what they know or look like. What she is doing maybe is helping others to understand and if you have a different way, well more power to you or explain your way, and some others can understand your way. But alot of those who are beginners this maybe easier for them. No need to put down.
@@trevrockrock16 lmao true super t so very funny true .i was like wow not a single neg!
Yep, seems people say what they want behind their screens but wouldn't say boo in real life.
It's mainly because they are miserable people with miserable lives.
She DOES over-explain things a bit. I know RUclips vids have to be a certain length to be monetized, but there's just too much stretching of time for simple concepts.
@@joee7626 the channel is for novices and beginners though. I have been working with wood, timber, plastic, etc for years and still sometimes learn helpful tips from her channel. Yes, 17 minutes is little long but when I did woodwork or metalwork at school we did an hour class on using simple tools at least.
The way you explain everything is golden. You can see the difference right here from the way other pros describe what they do. Not everyone is a carpenter. Not everyone is a teacher. You’re both. Thank you!
I can't tell you how many carpenters I've seen screw up the layout of studs because they're not the ones installing the drywall or siding. I learned this lesson the hard way many years ago. Wish you'd been around then!
Yea when the carpenter has to hang the siding, drywall or shear panel, he learns in a hurry how to not screw up stud layout on walls again!
I had a kid working for me and he was famous for when he ran out of tape on a long wall he would set a nail and continue on with pulling centers but would forget to just do 16" and he would pull 151/4 from where he left off so everything after he restarted would be off 3/4" off lol the sheet rockers would take his tool belt during lunch and screw it to the sub floor with a hundred screws they called it being willified when they got a jacked up layout lol
Wish all teachers were like you. SWEET.
GODSPEED.
Thank you for the carpenter pencil tips. I didn’t know it could be that useful .
I'm just a DIY kind of guy, so thanks Lea for the video!!! No ones ever showed me how to use a square!!! Much Respect!!! Your an excellent teacher!!!
Leah, you are Awsome!
I've worked in new home construction off and on with my wife's uncle for a few years and you have taught me so much more than he has.
You're amazing, Leah! The tone and cadence of your voice are so easy to listen to. I can tell you're a kind, happy person, teaching from your heart. I appreciate your patience!
I didn't know anything about carpentry til I discovered your channel and because of you I'm remodeling my house!!! I'm 62 too!!! Love ya and thanks!!!
thanks for the video, I don't even do this kind of work, but I like your videos and explanations. Thank you for the time you take to teach.
Leah, thanks for doing these videos. I learned ‘in the job’ many years ago. I picked up tips and tricks along the way, but I found that a lot of carpenters either don’t like to share, or maybe don’t really know. I appreciate you taking the time. Excellent for beginners and for sharing s old ones who haven’t done this is a while!
I'm a beginner with 4 houses under my tool belt...EXCELLENT teaching and communication skills. Great skill and now no need for me to carry a small 2x4 scrap in my tool belt...some of you have done that too.
This lady is very thorough. She makes an excellent teacher. There's also something very soothing about her personality and voice lol
I never saw a tape measure with "sideways" markings! Genius! I want one! I never even thought to look for one!
What a delight you are. Former college speech teacher says "A++" on your demonstration speech.
I really appreciate how she gets right into the matter at hand. A similar video by anyone else would have been at least twice as long, without any additional information being conveyed.
She is absolutely the best teacher....ever....if I had her teaching all the subjects that I had a difficult time with, I feel I would be further ahead of the curve.....much respect...j
How dare you Leah for teaching me something very cool! Ha ha ha! That framing square trick is amazingly easy. THANKS!
Super. This is the first time I discovered you. I can't wait to see the rest of your information. I work at a BigBox store and I will use and promote this . Thanks Again. Good Journey.
I’m such a big fan of your videos. I’m in the trades in Boston and we’re seeing more and more women in the field. Some of the old timers and small minded people aren’t to keen on that. I think it’s just great and you are way smarter than the people I am referencing. Proof that sex doesn’t matter. Your videos should be recommended to the people in the apprenticeships, especially to the women. It could be empowering to them. Keep on keepin on!!
Leah I want to thank you for your informative channel. I haven't done any construction work in almost 30 years. I'm getting ready to remodel my home and your tips and tricks have helped me remember so many things I've forgotten over the years. With your help this job is going to be so much easier! Thank you thank you thank you!💋❤
New subscriber here. Just starting to FINALLY do wood working and find your videos VERY HELPFUL. Thanks a million!!!
Used a framing square for years in my shop. Never knew this! You made me a believer. I'm subscribing!
My dad was a building contractor for 40+ years. Working with him I've seen him do some amazing things with that framing square. Not looking at it to figure it out. Just turn it around , mark there, turn it again and mark there. When my dad pasted. His hammer and his square are 2 of the things I wanted, and still have and use.
You seem like he would be a very encouraging teacher and employer. I wish I had someone like you to teach me how to use tools I was so calm and walk through details. Keep making videos and keep teaching. The world needs more people like you. Thank you
Thank you
These videos should come with accreditation. These are valuable lessons.
Leah you're awesome. I do a lot of carpentry work around my home. Your videos are very interesting and helpful. Thank you
I'm an engineer and I'd love to give your videos my seal of approval! One more trick to add: I don't know how standard it is, but most framing squares have the "hanging hole" in the middle of the tongue - your's does too. You can skip the 'back off by 3/4" ' step and just mark your centers, then put your center marks right in the middle of the hole and voila, your 1-1/2" tongue's sides are right where they need to be.
I love her! She needs a show immediately
I love this channel. You have helped me with alot of projects. Thank you.
You are such a talent. you are one of the very few I click the thumb up, even before watching the video. Many have the knowledge but the skill and art of communicating it to the viewer is a totally different talent which you most definitely have.
BTW: Have you thought about opening a workshop for DIY enthusiasts around you?
Thank you so much, Leane! And yes, I have considered it for the future, however, See Jane Drill keeps me pretty busy!
Thank you Leane for your concise comment-exactly what I was thinking as I am relatively new to this channel but every video I have seen I learn so much more then just the topic being presented. Leah, I love how expound just enough ensuring the viewer has a very clear picture of what you are explaining, and for a beginner like me, I'm saying "ohhhhh that's what that's called" so much! haha Cheers!
I'm glad that we agree that Leah is a great professional at what she's doing and really great communicator as well.
@@leanegarden6997 As a beginner I particularly like the way she is carefully explaining not just what to do but why it works. I am the type of adult learner that needs to know "the why" in order to remember "the how". She is so talented as a teacher that I wonder if maybe that must be what she also does also in her 'other life'-? Seejanedrill's videos are some of the best out there for the beginner, especially the timid beginner.Instead of feeling (like with a lot of You Tuber's)instead of feeling like she is just showing off how much she knows, she is actually teaching in manageable steps and empowering the newbie to learn, retain the info, use it and progress. This is what a true teacher does. Great mentor. Jane, Keep the videos coming! You have broken down stuff that I was struggling to grasp where others only caused more confusion. Your heart and talent is apparent in every video!
Love your videos! I grew up watching my dad and his brother build some amazing stuff - mostly furniture and speaker cabinets - but I just never had "the gift." (And, frankly, my dad wasn't all that patient. . . so what I did pick up was generally just what I could figure out.) I've owned a framing square since I was about 10 years old and never knew this!
Disregard all the negative comments from the know-it-alls. If they know half as much as they think they do, I've gotta wonder why they're watching RUclips videos about how to use a framing square. . .
Thanks Leah. I appreciate the time you take to explain things to us beginners. You're a great teacher.
I love this women! Great videos keep up with the great content. I hate reading and I dont feel like buying a construction for dummies book your teaching me thx.
Concerning the time that you spend to make every video which is simple and well explained and the informations that you give us freely , is amazing , A big THANK YOU !!!!!
you're very welcome!
Jane, you have helped me 'very many' times!*~* Even my sons Sam 12 & Ben 14 love your almost "Moron-Proof" videos*~* Meanwhile, we are still trying to explain to (Dad) the difference between a Phillips-head vs a Flat-head by asking him for the Plus or the Minus screwdriver*~*
Charlie King ,
It should be, she explained it for kindergarten kids, other wise it would have been a 1 1/2 minute video :-(
@@victorcastle1840 my mom wrote that and she's weird sometomes
@@victorcastle1840 and I don't rly like the vids
I’m basically a complete beginner. I just got into the union and I’m starting my first year of carpentry. Videos like this one are extremely useful and helps build excitement haha.
Well...I gotta say...you taught me another good trick. You know, I never realized why one side of the framing square was narrower than the other one, but it makes perfect since. Thanks Leah for the great tip. You're a natural teacher. I've just laid out the top and bottom plates with the 16 inch centers hash mark and lined the imaginary centerline on the stud, in on it. Your way gives a line on both sides. 6 of one and half a dozen of the other...it was the way I was taught, over 50 years ago. THANKS
Thank you!! You make me feel like "I can do-it!" 😊
Special needs education. Hey it really works!
you've done it again Leah... you have taught me something...
🙂
If your carpentry skill level are love enough that you need this kind of low level help, you should not be handling any tool what so ever.
Your carpentry skills as well as your communication skills are a wonderment to behold ! Thank you for your efforts !
In case you missed it.....
Her very informative vid on cutting abstract shapes using a "tick stick" is phenomenal....very cool....quite sure their were many experienced carpenters, diy, even professional's that picked up some useful info from that one.....great job. and thank you!
You rock Leah.
I always get something from your videos. Keep them coming!!
Well done. Thank you for the tip. I'm glad I mean into your channel. Very handy tips. Thanks again 😀
I have just found this channel and love it. Thank you for the information that makes sense immediately. Must admit I also use the framing square to square up my quilts. So to me it is a multi use tool. 😊
Leah you are a great teacher... very patient and very GOOD... thank you for your time
BRILLIANT. No doubt as to why you have millions of views on your videos. You are a total Rockstar.
There it is from the Oracle, "production and moving very very quickly" production pays. Preach it!
TY for this your explanations are so clear and focused. I am going to build a small shop shed and this will be my first time framing. I have owned a framing square for years but never knew the “secret” feature ! Thank you for taking me from ignorance to knowledge🙏🏻.
Also your video on cut off switches in air compressors was a massive help and a Craigslist free non working compressor has been serving me faithfully for a year or two now. TY
Fantastic videos. Thank you for all you do for us. I learn something new in every video you make. You rock Leah!!
I'm gonna step on the shoulders of these insightful commentators and add that you Leah, would be a brilliant program to launch back into our high schools. Establishing a curriculum in a high school local to you, filming the actual class, receiving educational certification for the program, then remote streaming into a supervised classroom would do more to focus our youth than 10 psychologists trying to convince them that gender is a choice. They can be the gender of the vagina or penis hat they wear. Or some equally narrow psychological divide they're being cajoled into accepting about themselves--one that pushes them further away from members of society.
I think you are a rare earth magnet that should be exposed to our youth on a large scale. You are a treasure that I have enjoyed watching this past year. Thank You. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️♥️♥️
MY GOD! What are you suggesting?????? Certainly not that students in school should learn something!!!! Something useful, even!!!! You just caused 17 politicians to have a stoke. (Good job) That would mean they have to get their noses out of education where they have zero clue, like medical care and MYOB. Drop this idiotically political brainless opinion "No kid left behind" simply to get votes and screw the county. In my youth (several decades ago) my HS taught SHOP and HOME ECONOMICS. I made a row boat (it actually floated and lasted years) and my sister all are terrific cooks (look at them) [I hope they don't read this]. Shop and my growing up on a farm showed me I can make nearly anything, at least anything the average person needs! You, sir (or ma'm) have a marvelous thought!!!!
Wow i never knew that about the square. Wish I knew that when I was framing my wall in a while back.
you have taught me more in a few videos than I would have learned from any other person who I've worked with.Thank You!
What a great communicator and instructor you are Leah. And your trade knowledge and use of tools is exceptional and the way you deliver the information is concise and spot on. you have Certainly taught me something. not just about the use of a carpenters square, but about communicating information to others.
Great info! Thanks for teaching us the usefulness of this tool!
Another great video!
Back in the 1960s, a 2X4 was 1-5/8" X 3-3/4". If I remember right...
Per the 1964 American Lumber Standards
www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/misc/miscpub_6409.pdf
And, once upon a time, they were actually 2" by 4" . . .
2"X4" planed or rough cut? probably didn't bother to plane construction studs back then.
90's in NY all of our framing members were 1-5/8" from any lumbar yard on Long Island. Aside from TJI's, Anthony powerbeams, etc. I've noticed Home Depot crap tends to be 1-1/2 on the mark, but we never used HD on multi-million dollar Hamptons "homes". Things are done differently all over the country, even locally from job to job. But most every framer I've seen here, uses stacked plates (all three, top two nailed together, then pinned to the nailed down floor plate. Mark top and outside edge, untack, pull back the top two and frame it up, Kings, jacks, headers included, Kept "keying" in the walls perfect.
Seems everyone here is a "journeyman" also.
@@Mike_H76 wonder if they actually know what being a true "journeyman" entails .....ie. traveling ,working for free to obtain experience and knowledge in your trade ..... I often work with true German journeymen that pass through Nimbin and the are intensely skilled and extremely humble.
You would have made a great Elementary School Teacher! You explained softly, without being patronising. I was hoping the 'secret' would be something I didn't know - but it was still a pleasure to watch. Despite the odd negative comment, this will help a lot of people. 10/10 (And a Gold Star!)
I wish you had been around 40 years ago. You are such a great teacher!
A good framing square is one of the most complex tools on the job. I framed hundreds of houses. You have to consider whether you are framing for the siding or the drywall on exterior walls. Usually you work to the exterior because drywall is cheap and easy to cut. For 16" centers, lay the tongue on the plates, let 3/4" hang over the end, mark beside the body and put an X ahead of the square. Then move the end of the tongue to that mark and mark the next stud, rinse and repeat. At outside corners you have to account for the thickness of intersecting walls. For studs on 2' centers, you use the body for the spacing. Then you move on to stairs and rafters. And drawing circles, and octagons. Thanks for posting. Much to know.
An even easier way is to flip the tounge and make your mark once every non consecutive 2/3' on the plate vertical depending on your orientation, then just lay your center hole for the sidelines on each mark.
You probably know this trick already. It's not as fast for left handed people, are you left handed?
I love your videos! Just wanna say, when your'e measuring center to center, you're eyeing out the center of the stud. You should measure the front side of one stud to the front side of the next stud. That will give you dead center as well, and is easier to line up the front side with the tape, rather than an unmarked middle of the 2x4.
I feel like making a 15 1/4" spacer is not only faster but also more accurate and consistent. I don't frame extensively just whatever my remodels require but I've always found this to be the best way. Thanks for all the great videos.
If you are making a spacer for between studs you better make it 14 1/2"
I love listening to her. She's a great teacher!
Great job as always Leah!
Such a great teacher!! Thank You!! And please ignore the detractors. You are teaching beginners so they understand the fundamentals. Knowing shortcuts later built on those is a learning by experience thing. Without the tools of knowledge you give, many of us beginners would have no foundation to develop such tricks.
Hi everyone am only just considering woodworking and everyday i go through these videos. Find them very informative and encouraging. Please keep doing it.
Even for professionals like me , Leah still has plenty of useful tips&tricks. Love the videos! Keep up the good work. Best regards from the Netherlands!
I think this does a good job of explaining how to layout it for a beginner, although I personally just use a tape like she did and then add a hatch on the correct side and only mark the inside edge of the stud I don't need 2 lines, also a framing square is a bit clumsy for a basic head and sole plate. Nothing wrong just different I guess
I enjoy your videos , However as a 35 year Union Carpenter and a tip I learned framing houses prior to joining the Union : You lay both plates flat using the 16 inch tongue , the first layout 15 1/4 in Mark to the right next layouts are all 16 in scribe to the right , by doing this you have your studs on layout and squared off at the same time , This is the fastest way to layout framing. Thank You Hope this is helpful.
That's how I messed up one time. Every sheet of plywood missed the third stud.

I've watched 3 of seejanedrill videos and did not regret the time invested. The ticking stick video was great. I've never seen a carpenter use one or heard of it. Excellent job actually teaching novices and those of us who just want to increase our knowledge of everything. Great job.
I'm 39, I was a gofer in high school for a summer I never learned this.. you have passed a long a lot of good information. Thank you!
You should do a quick video on how to easily find stud centers inside the wall!
And I thought it was just a big right angle. Thank you for getting me thinking about things.
She's awesome. Im surprised that she didn't point out the tongue is 16". And of course most walls would be framed on the floor and stood up, but she's teaching how to lay them out and use the square right now. She didn't want to confuse beginners with too much at once.
I have learned so much from each and every time I catch her videos, I find myself almost thirsting for her next one to come out.
You are wonderful, your voice makes me wish you were my teacher in high school.
You are left handed like me. I love your channel already!
Leah, your videos are excellent. I learn so much from them and am so grateful someone makes videos with step by step details that are so needed. I do my DIY and they turn out beautiful and correctly because of people like you making videos like this to teach us. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Thank you for the video. I watch your videos for learning as I am a carpentry student.
