I’ve been framing for 2 years now in Ontario and your videos have helped me become a very efficient worker. They also motivate me to go 110% all day long and i got a raise at work because I’ve been grinding so hard😎frame on brother
Liam that’s awesome to hear. Having that “get it” mentality will make you a valued commodity because it’s become increasingly rare and sought after. If your boss isn’t going to make you whole another will ( that’s what he’s thinking)
@@framingbeast720I'm in training, I'm young, I'm wanting to start my own framing gig soon in the same area as you actaully. YOU INSPIRE ME GREATLY!! I work for other men that are also very smart. However this right here tought me something to teach my team/crew one day. Thank you tremendously. And once again THANK YOU
He'd likely be proud of how far the tools have come...i think the more guys don't become.e so brand specific (which is hard because of different battery platforms) it keeps major tool brands honest and forces them to compete against one another, thus putting better tools in our hands..take cell phones for example...my first one was a Nokia 5190 and I was so impressed it had brick breaker game on it...now sky's the limit
A good little system you have going there. That third set of plates shouldnt be the same length though....they should either be 3.5 inches shorter or longer so the double plates overlap walls and tie shit in better
could be the third one is for a double bottom plate like we do in Australia, then run the second top plate around the outside walls once everything's up.
Theres 2 lines so any moron doesn't have to look for an X and somehow puts the wall in wrong spot i was a layout guy for years and I color coordinated my layout red to stop top plates and blue for stop sheeting or to run past. Still people just ignored that shit and I'd be cutting out top plates. People are stupid that's why there's 2 lines
You're definitely fast and efficient, but I hope you also take pride in the quality of your work. I haven't watched any other videos of yours so I don't know, but I'll check out more. I started in framing and had to get out of it after many years because I wanted to do high quality work, so now I'm a woodworker and finish carpenter. But I respect framers who know their trade and do good work. Framing houses taught me how to build things, and the knowledge I gained there transferred into the finer carpentry I do now. It's unfortunate that so many framers today have an attitude that they are simply doing "rough" work that doesn't need to be exact. I greatly disagree. Framers should be making things as close to perfect as possible, because if their work is bad, everyone who comes after also suffers. Many trim guys and cabinet makers have cursed framers for the nonsense they make us deal with. P.S. Yes, I know that framers often get screwed by the foundations they build upon.
@@benjaminziegler7437 I understand that, but not making good money isn't an excuse to do bad work. I've been on crews where guys have studs sticking out a 1/4in or more off the plates, interior walls with 30 gun nails in the T when the interior wall isn't level with the exterior wall, massive gaps between the plates that could be easily fixed, ridges out of level with the house framing therefore causing the whole roof to be out of square and the rafters all running crooked, walls not properly leveled with a string from the corners, floor beams that stick up a 1/4in (usually because the LVLs are wider) or more from the regular joists causing massive bumps in the floor, and so much more. All those issues are easily avoidable if you know what you are doing, and actually care about the work you are doing. The fact is, in my experience, most framers today do not care, and therefore do crappy work. I know guys who actually brag as if they are good framers, and even they do garbage work. I've got into conflicts with guys on jobs numerous times because I call them out for their nonsense and they get offended. My own cousin got mad at me for this, but I'm sick of the sloppy work that has become acceptable.
@@framingbeast720 Awesome man. I worked with some guys like that over the years. Very fast, but very good, clean, and accurate. I was never that guy. I could do certain tasks really fast, but I also would get caught up on making things perfect that in the end weren't necessary. But it was my nature to want everything perfect no matter what, and I couldn't help myself. I still liked to race the other guys when not doing things that needed to be perfect. I worked on a crew for close to ten years that hand drove everything (no nailguns at all) and I liked to nail the plywood as fast as possible. I nearly perfected hand driving 8s in two hits, 3 was easy, but 2 was the gold standard, and so rewarding when things were flowing. I don't regret my framing days, and I still get to use those skills as I sometimes still build sheds and decks, and some house remodels. I prefer working at home in my shop though, I don't miss the muddy jobsites and having to answer to other people.
@@isaiahii6982 it's hard concept for some to understand but you get what you pay for. And if the builder is allowing that to happen it's on the builder, they're paying shit wages, getting shit work in return and they could care less cause it all gets covered up. They protect their profit margins and the homeowner suffers in the end. I'm not even a framer myself, but what motivation do they have? Especially if they get bad pay and are encouraged to rush and get it done asap
@@user-zu2bw7ig5v yea we overlap ours this crew I work for does the same house style all the time so I’m just now catching up to how things go around here
Just curious as to why all 3 plates are cut the same length. Is there another plate going on top to cross intersections in walls? I’ve always done my second top plate 3 1/2 longer or shorter, depending on the wall. Just curious if I was missing something
The walls will tie in at the channels. I reckon it’s a track home/ production framing thing to not have ears on the double top plate. I have always worked with custom home builders and we frame them with ears but I reckon it’s probably pretty close to the same strength this way.
@nick angers Unless the company you build for sends all 92 5/8 studs....its a common thing where im from to double plate everything specifically to tie walls together
Why is there drywall on-site during the framing stage? I've never seen anything like this here in Australia, I'm guessing something about the fire rating?
Hey buddy I'm gonna link you a roll-cut video, notice you're splitting plates and cutting them individually, we have a slightly different method we think works very well. I'd love to show u
This guy is disgusting. His cuts are so good it makes me sick to my stomach. Plz stop making vids cause I gotta face myself tomorrow knowing you exist somewhere
No overlap on the TPs is just not any type of good quality. It doesn’t take long or much effort. Especially when you have 12 whole walls. I’m with ya 90% of the time. Just not this point. To each their own tho
Double butt not a big deal especially if another floor or trusses are going above. Drywall nailers can provide the lap as well. I’m old school so do try to lap top plates but don’t get too concerned about it if it’s convenient depending on the situation
We don't here. We just fire rate the stud section...lol I don't know whether the extra 3" of 5/8 will be the deciding factor in if the house survives the inferno or not
@@jayframes4967 it depends on the inspector too, sometimes they are very strict and sometimes they aren't. An example would be a load bearing wall needs to be fire rated right? well i've seen guys put the 5/8" drywall on both sides of the wall for the 1 hour rating however, they neglected to 5/8" drywall inside the rough door openings and it passed inspection (the doors were interior doors too with 0 fire rating.)

Hey get rid of the speed square to cut straight lines on a 2×4 the saw deck is parallel to the board your good at least that's how old framers would look at you if you can't cut a 2×4 square get off the job

ASMR, workporn, etc... this is nice to watch. Smooth, flowing, and productive.
You're good bro you used the top plate tie in to skip measuring ingenious.
Well done. Most of us know when you layer out the walls. You spent several hours using your tape so you didn’t need to when playing.
Layout takes the longest but its worth it
I mean it takes time but it's worth it to spend that time.
Not 1 tape to be seen. Bloody good
A good little system you have going there. That third set of plates shouldnt be the same length though....they should either be 3.5 inches shorter or longer so the double plates overlap walls and tie shit in better
Some people use metal tie ins on the top plates so they don’t have to worry about the overlapping plates
I thought they stopped doing that back in early 2000s. At least In Ohio they did, lapping the double plate is far more effective and cost efficient.
could be the third one is for a double bottom plate like we do in Australia, then run the second top plate around the outside walls once everything's up.
It would if its going over one wall and itching back 3 1/2 for another one to tie in
yep, i would do this too, just because its easy and it ties it together really well
The beast strikes 💪 again.
Looks nice and Warm out there.
At least 20 times.. when you were chalking lines. Does that count?
Excelente video 👌🏻 💯 👍

Some companies and framers do make the double top plate 3.5 shorter/longer. It depends on the person. I personally do what you do as well.
At 2:43 - all the three plates are same length?
Top plate should go thru on the short walls into the long wall?
What am I missing?
The walls will tie in at the channels. I reckon it’s a track home/ production framing thing to not have ears on the double top plate. I have always worked with custom home builders and we frame them with ears but I reckon it’s probably pretty close to the same strength this way.
