Great stuff Mark. Love all your gutter university videos. I am using your tips to help me replace all house's metal fascia and gutters down here in Oz. I am using aluminium gutters. But I am going with rivets rather than tek screws (as we call zip screws here) mainly as they come in matching colours and they are the most common gutter joining method here.
wow! thats such a great template. I love that little handle. The one I use tends to stick to the lip, and when I peel it off, someones I'll nic the top of the gutter. Im totally gonna rewatch this until I can make one of my own! tyvm man!
Thanks for the videos. ,I just start my own business, alot of selfish people doesnt share, i been straggle learning,until i start looking your videos now, im learning from you,im so happy,thank you so much ,God giveyou more wisdom,and more !!!
When he said most machines are 5” nowadays I had to look at the date of the video. I haven’t seen a 5” machine or any new 5” install in probably 20-25 years. We are in Florida so there’s a huge difference in rainfall. But any 5” we see now is homeowner, Lowe’s, do-it-yourself, 10th’ pieces deal.
Over here in so cal 5 inch is still mainly used as standard, but we also install flat face aka angle face, box gutter with or without bid, also 6 inch og aka standard and half round gutter, including custom gutters as well but we take those measurements to the sheet metal guys who make us the material
Hi, thank you for sharing and instructing. I like your 'energy'. it is easy to listen to and follow exactly what you are doing. I will be watching more of your videos. I just tried to put up some gutter in this one corner where the rain pours off and splatters in front of my back garage door. I'm tired of doing the 'dance' around the pouring water to get in and out of garage (I don't have door from inside house. ) This is much harder than it looks! Might have easier with new gutters pieces.. probably. I was hampered by the snippers I had to cut the metal - they did not cut like the ones you have - what is the difference between 'red' and 'green'? And is it just your hand and arm strength that makes it look easy to cut? or is it the snippers that work so well? Because I don't ever want to do this again - my elbow and shoulder hurt from wrestling those things through the metal...
Very helpful, Mark! I just made my template and I am about to hang some gutters that need 2 outside miters. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!
Once you have a perfect 90 paint it pink or some fluorescent color. This will help prevent someone from throwing it in with the scrap. I have been using the same template for like 11 years now
Thanks man that is a real quick easy way to cut a miter template. I been doing gutters for only a year and a half. It takes me way longer then that to make a gutter miter template. Do you have any videos showing how you make a template for different angle corner, other then when basic corners where the fascia board 90's. A template for a odd corner? I recently became lead guy at a gutter company and never had a chance to learn patterns for weird corners and the bosses have no clue.
i 3d printed a template and man is this thing awesome its lighter not flexable at all, 100% perfect fitment. not going to cut ya, and its half an inch thick so i know where to measure to every time, and every cut will be the same.
Actually, if you get used to cutting these by hand, it is just as fast as using miter boxes. With one guy cutting the pieces off the machine while his partner hangs the pieces and connects the miters, you can really put up feet quickly. Plus, you only have one seam to caulk, which makes them much less likely to leak, and you save lots of money on miter boxes and caulking!
Well, Blasty, there is certainly nothing inherently wrong with using a chop saw, but I personally see a few serious drawbacks. First, you have to set up the saw, which wastes about as much time as just cutting by hand. Second, and more important, is the loudness of the chop saw. Using a saw on metal every day WILL affect your hearing, unless you wear clumsy hearing protection. So, to save a few seconds, literally, you are going to waste time to set the saw up and damage your hearing.
Well, that's a call everyone has to make for himself. I prefer to protect my hearing, and I think that cutting by hand is basically as fast as cutting with a saw. You disagree. That's really the end if the conversation, then. We don't have to agree on this, though.
@@gutteruniversity id like to see a general knowledge video with some tips and tricks.for example everyone measures the distance between the 2 elbows to know what size to cut the downs.. on 3x4 downs i measure from siding to facia and minus 8inches to get my down length between the elbows then when i mount that and do my long down i do elbow to ground level minus 16 inches
What's the p;point of posting video after video and putting that stupid logo at the bottom off the whole thing? It pisses me off toi watch a TV show with those damn things on the screen.
You need to finish "Gutterology 101" before you start trying to teach. Your intentions are good but the miter looks terrible! I hand make the miters on the house as I go. My tabs are on the inside of the miter and no screws in the face. Sealed on the inside and a very small amount of sealer on the seam on the outside with a little touch up of paint. Finished job looks as good as a factory seam on a box miter. Thirty five years experience and a lot of patience helps a lot. I would make a vidio but my competition would love that ! Someone would have to pay for that
Oh don't worry he is getting paid thanks to you me and another 93 000 viewers it's just a another way to make money for those without 30 yrs of patience
Greg Bulla sealant on the outside? And touchup paint that fades. 35 years of being a hack I guess! I have 30 years of experience and my craftsmanship is top quality. No sealant on the outside!!!

Hey what type of square tool do u recommend for eaves trough? I noticed a few different styles and sizes at the hardware store
Thanks You for your video. It will help for my next project

Dylan, would you be interested in printing another miter template? Id be happy to pay you for it
Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍 can I use the bottom depth instead of the depth from the top opening?

With the high expansion and contraction rates of aluminum especially when you get into longer pieces I think it's advisable to use a strip miter
👍🏻
Buy strip miters. No templates needed! And look just as good if not better
This comes in handy if you don't have a chop saw..
Thanks, Bob!
Is this not the same as miter saw at 45. I mean making the template.. if I take a miter saw at 45 and clean cut the gutter is this the same or no
Is this the same for box gutters???
is it the same process for a 6 inch?
Ha! Actually, it's 26 gauge steel. I wish it was paper sometimes, though!
What gauge is that? looks like you're cutting through paper
jvirg. 027 aluminum
Whats the measurement to make a template for 6” miters?
The measurement for 6” miters is 6”
@@gutteruniversity Ok, would bay miters be half then?
@@michaelfassbender2693
It depends on the angle. I would use my method for making a custom miter template. Have you watched that video?

Mark Crovelli can u do avid on inside miters at 45.degree or diff angles... i made mine 3 diff time b4 it worked lol
What if using vinyl gutters and you are dealing with inside and outside corners that are not 90 degrees
I used to use templates, but now all I use is a scribe - personally I think it's faster.
Nate Gunn scribe..."whats that
That's how I was taught when I was a kid the guys I work under don't know shit won't let me do it the right way there Robin people blind

Hey Mark, is that your stomach growling at 0:28 ?
Jeff funny
Wedges on a tough shed? Who are you trying to impress?
I actually do have a video explaining how to cut custom miters. Just subscribe to my channel and you will find it there. I hope it's helpful for you!
Not bad but if you buy a box of box miters you will save a lot of time then you can move on to the next job and it pays for itself
yea, you suck mike. listen to robert and just learn to do it right

Its a Miter Pattern , Why do you call it a template? lol. Its a Miter Pattern bro!
Tracy Gun'z patterns are templates. I can tell you're not craftsman. Pure genius!
