Best to be able to an expert in not just one trade but many is how to build a house from top to bottom. Knowing how to draw up plans, set septic tanks , form and pour the foundation , framing , roofing . Sub out elec. , plumbing but be able to drywall. And learning how to wire a house is not that difficult either. That way you dont get burned out on any one trade. Scrounge up enough money to buy a lot and build a small 1600 -1800 sq ft one story , truss roofed spec. and get it built and sold within 6 months. Take that money and roll it into the next house. Thats how you make money .Working for wages is ok but your always dependent on a boss. Shitcan the boss and be your own boss.
Yup, sounds right, get a generals or maybe even an engineers license and your set. Maybe even know people who can draw up the plans, you general the house and like you say sub out trades you don’t needa make that much money on.
I’m 21, I know how to excavate, (can connect water and sewer and electrical) I know how to do concrete footings, foundations, and slabs. Also know how to wire up light switches and outlets, drywall, shingles and just got a job as framer with some good carpentry experience already I think I’m going to make it in life
@@creedcompton2910 looks like you've got most of it covered you just need to sub out the plumbing carpentry painting and HVAC.
You're speaking my language. However, I've worked with plenty of guys that only want to show up and get paid at the end of the week. Some of the hardest workers I knew were like that. It takes a different mindset and financial discipline to run a business, even if you're solo.
If you have no desire to take on the responsibilities/stress of being a boss(besides wanting more money), get great at what you do(get certifications, experience, become efficient, learn new trades) and find a company that is willing to pay what you are worth. There's pros and cons to both working for big companies (benefits+, politics-), or small companies (more likely to hire with no experience or teach new stuff+, less job security or room to move up-). The smaller the company, the more likely it is you can get 'equity' or become a partner if you want that sort of thing and are willing to take on the same risks and rewards of the owner. It's not the easiest thing, but I know of multiple 2 partner companies that crush it together. It's kind of a mix of both are employees and employers. The best partners seem to have opposite strengths and weaknesses of each other.
If you're young, be honest with yourself about what type of person you are. Its probably self evident and shouldn't take much convincing one way or the other. Its possible to make a decent living either way. There's plenty of work out there if you're good.
Sorry for the long post.
I’m a self taught backyard mechanic, trying to become hvac tech, know how to use most power tools, more than excelled with wood working, engineering, and math in my hs career. I just spent 7 years outta hs wasting my life away and now regret it. I feel like my life is over. I wanna be rich and own my own business. I love watching framing tho as of a year ago even tho I’m going for hvac cuz it pays better. I would still love to be a framer
I'm an endurance athlete, ex pro triathlete. I would love to see this guys heart rate as he is framing. I can tell by how hard he is breathing that he is definitely working it. This is like running a marathon all day, a well oiled machine that needs to be fed. He's tossing around 2x6's like they are matchsticks and then nails 3 together for a post and still throws it into place with almost no visible effort. Thanks for the great video!
Wow now that's high praise, much appreciated...I ran a lot of cross country in hs so i think that exp still helps out today. I had a vo2 max of 57.5 when tested two years later. I think the job sites atmosphere feels a lot like sports competition .. so to embrace that side helps time pass and keep the house moving
@@framingbeast720 wow, Lemond's was 92. I tested at 64. Not Olympic level, but good for some top ten in local races. I ran XC also in HS, fun times but lots of overtraining injuries. Looking back our coaches had no clue
@@trumpetmaris yes, lots of injuries..class of 2001, long before participation trophies were introduced. if I had a dollar for every time I heard the line "are you injured or are you hurt" from my coach id be Warren buffet lol. From. There went to Texas A&M class 109 where in hell week pushed me so hard in 120° heat I died twice on the nurse table..took 3 shots of adrenaline to bring me back. 17 bags of water at the hospital. This stuff is like life's calluses that toughen you up. I fell into framing originally as a way to beef up my resume and the started enjoying it...I guess the rest is history
@@framingbeast720 I discovered right away that no way I was going to run XC in college (UC Berkeley) and be able to study. 10 miles a day doesn't make you fast, just tired and over trained. I paid for college with my wood working skills, working for my disabled vet mentor/father-figure, building custom furniture (and some framing lol). He drilled into my head that I would always have a job with the skills he taught me. Been self-employed since '92 and never look back... I hope your channel and endeavors are working out for you.
@@trumpetmaris I love hearing stories like yours . gotta make your own breaks
This is what a pro looks like in action- many guys have no clue what a real pro can do in one day, and he will do it day after day, getting better all the time.
Not many ppl out there can appreciate the work we do. My dads been framing for about 30 years now and that’s all my brothers an I know. Love watching your videos! It’s always nice watching other pros how they do it and pick up tips and tricks to make the job go more efficiently! Happy holidays and stay safe man!!
Thanks, I appreciate that. There's definitely easier ways to.make a buck out there but probably hard to.find one more.satisfying. take care
Is your last name de haan by any chance?
My dad was a master carpenter and he is probably turning over in his grave seeing guys use the nail guns nowadays! He use to set 10p in one blow with a hammer.
Been a carpenter since 1980 . Seemingly done it all . I respect any man that gets out there in the slop , heat , cold and kicks ass . Not too many willing to do it , and not too many understand how mentally /physically tiring it can be .. It's Real Work !!. Every job I ever worked on how it's level of precision it dials in .. Some want it built like a Ferrari and others just want it snapped together . Swinging from rafters and sheathing a roof like a wildman .. That used to be me . Don't be bothered by my comments .I am a master carpenter and I teach . . The things I noticed that I would say to any Wallbanger . I prefer to lay my studs flat when nailing them in gangs . Nailing together while not flat can create a laminated bow . . Barked edges I try to nail together facing each other since it might be a jambs edge or a 3 stud corner .. Always try to hide the ugly . I also have been known to go ballistic on the angle on which a nail is driven . Generally most use 3" in Hitachi's so a slight angle of 10 degrees prevents a hook nail .. Too much angle and not cinched up will create a gap that can bit me in the ass . And I always aim to nail 1" from the edge . because of cupping . Some different styles everywhere just in nailing two studs together . There is 2 on top and two 2 below with a zig zag nailing . Some just zig zag top to bottom .. Some nail in sets of 2 anywhere from 16" to 24" on 2x4 . and 3 on a 2x6 . I prefer to smack my headers /kings and jacks together first so I won't have to fight it , After components are in then the friction of the plates keep the studs standing while I go down the line like Chicken Little . I am well aware that not all methods apply in every situation . Years ago I was known as Bang Bang .. Bang that damn wall together !! . Many are unaware how hard framing can be . To be quick and to be mentally quick , Because every carpenter of any count I have worked with , and can get things done is a valued carpenter .
Probably the best comment yet. Awesome insight from a carpenter that's clearly been doing this for quite some time. Lol 🤣 I like the chicken little ref. I would more than agree about the benefits of nailing jacks to studs on the flat surface and how framing can test a persons will like nothing else at times. Sometimes your biggest weapon is your ability to mind f yourself and keep chipping away. Once again, awesome post, cheers
If I've ever seen a pro looking comment this is it. Awesome to read - even though I know nothing about framing :)
You said everything right!👍🏽plus when both the nailer and cutter know there jobs and connect together as one .oh man them walls go up fast!
@@joseficher4533Yepper's . I got a bad case of stage 4 cancer two years ago . But I still like to get in the trenches . I can't go full throttle like I used to , But even an old dog like me can get more done than many banging walls in a frenzy . Recently , I needed to supplement my income and worked with some " Master's " .. It was a comedy of errors. They made an ordeal out of everything and all it was was a little 30'x24" garage on a slab. When I got there . I didn't know they already had spent 2 days framing .. 4 exterior walls ???? .. That's it !! and they still had to move window and door jambs . The Ole Sawzall of Doom . . I'd expect this type of accuracy and production from a homeowner or a weekend warrior . But not carpenters that claimed they been doing it all their lives . It was a nightmare working with these idiots. Every time I made a suggestion or showed them an easier way .. " No that won't work !! ".. It's a breeze when you got everyone clicking , The cut man not only cuts accurate but you don't have to go through a lengthy explanation what the cut is . It's an understanding !! . Without even looking . A good cut man knows what the other carpenter is measuring from . A good carpenter can call out something and the cut man doesn't have to have a detailed pictured drawn to understand . Of course , There are cuts that get wicked especially on funky parts of a roof . I have worked crews and on crews where everyone jammed . Then I have worked on crews and lead crews that everyone was stupid and slower than a glacier . Years ago I was working with one crew and the contractor handed me a set of plans to help him bid . He was so excited when I told him the number but told him " You presently don't have the Firepower ". You basically have baboons with toolbelts with the intellect of pocket lint .. So it would be a disaster . " If these guys can screw up Hardi-board this badly ,, Forget trying to get in the league of ultra custom " .. When you got a good crew .. It's like jamming in a band .. When you got a bad crew . You want to jump headfirst off a roof .
My grandpa was exactly like you describe when it came to framing...
Old Old School for him, it was 2 hand saws ->cross cut and rip cut, a hip pouch of nails and his 22oz cali framer... ofc he couldn't match pneumatics, but by hand, He was a fucking machine.
ALWAYS and only ever 1kiss to grab and 1 swing to drop.
Pppffffftt every fucking time.
Watched him solo frame an identical 8 house subdivision he landed a contract for once in the early 80's. He ran for 18hrs straight to frame walls only, but all interior walls, cuts too. He drank a 6pk of coors and ate 2 packs of peanut butter on cheese crackers throughout the day but never stopped once for a bite or a sip.
I could only imagine him working now with the best tools.
I did this for many years, then decided my knees and back weren't going to see me into old age, so learned computers and became a tech. Now I miss the outdoors, framing, so much. Nothing like seeing a house go up in a week!
I’m a sys admin heading in to full time real estate, already mastered the basics of framing, now I’m rehabbing my own units 😃
For sure there's nothing like standing back at her end of the day and literally seeing the fruits of your labor. I'm glad you were able the make a smooth transition from one job to the next. Personally I don't feel as though I could handle a desk style job. I would literally be pulling my hair out. I hear you when you talk about your back as I'm sure most seasoned framers can agree but I'll the physical pain I can deal with, the mental pain of giving up the upside maybe not so much
@@JoniAntonio that's amazing! I bet in your line of work it's a huge asset to know what your talking about so a suspect contractor can't pull the wool over your eyes. Keep it up!
Framing sucks lol enjoy the tech job. This trade sucks. Everyone thinks it looks fun and interesting but its really just wood and nails and back breaking work
@@JoniAntonio mastering framing by watching RUclips?
Legend says he never runs out of nails.
Added 1000 round mag to mac 10🤣
6:30 he does run out
Air ran out first! Now we can't breathe
I've never seen a coil framing gun before. I want one!
Lol good one
Thank you. The way you notch the jack studs for the headers is something I needed to know. I have spent more time trying to keep a header flush than you spent nailing that entire wall...
I did framing for almost 10 years. He is a beast at nailing walls together for sure. I would have been a great challenge to you 20 years ago. Now I am the builder because I got tired of working my ass off and watching everyone else make the good money. But you are fast for sure. Go Beast mode. Hope you wake up and do it for yourself someday. Good luck
Thanks its my business
i nail my header to the jacks and studs first so you don't have to beat the shit out of it trying to get it in.
I did a lot of trac houses in a framing yard, two guys would frame two to three houses a day. Minus rake walls. The set up was sick big ass tables one guy on the top plate one on the bottom plate. Everything pre cut, pre marked, fire block was pre cut, T's and C's were pre made headers too, We were like machines. But we had it easier with the table set up minimal bending over. The system this company had was legit. DARRELL JULLIAN. This reminded me of those days, such a good time. Keep it up Beast.
Your full of crap
Normally, I would watch instructional videos at 1.5x speed... This dude accomplished that in real time. 👏
Love these videos. Brings me back to my days of production framing.
Do you know Jesus, does He know you? If not get right with Him today, come as you are He says and He will restore to you what is lost, God has called you to be a light, walk in it and believe in Jesus, Jesus will raise those who trust in Him at the last day, and the branch and root of wickedness will fall and perish, Amen
I really appreciate this video. As a newer carpenter / framer I’m impressed with the instincts more than the speed. I’ve read a lot of the negative comments here and sense a lot of insecurity. I respect there are differing opinions of quality, relative to construction plans and allotted time / margins, etc. Coming from a position of humility, I’ve felt the macho “I do it better than you” and “my way or the highway” attitudes underscore all the stigmas and everything that is perceived as wrong with the trades.
I’d love to hear some of the heretics / framing savants say: “hey, thanks for the video. I would do many things different such as: xyz.”
Biggest thing keeping me from considering a switch to trades is worrying about the culture. Different opinions don't have to mean putting down someone else's work if it does the job. At the same time, always gotta be open to learning new stuff. That's the kind of world everyone benefits from, I think.
Prep is always important. Sometimes takes more time the actual production.....but hats off.. This guy knows how to work!
But doesn’t know how to build
You can tell that you love what you do, it’s such a meditation, emptying the mind and focusing on then work at hand, getting after it as fast as you can full send berserker, major respect Adrian, I’ve learned so much from you man. Health and blessings to you my friend, hope you Are well. If I lived in Canada I would love to work with you..I’ve sharpened my skills and you have inspired me to picked up those two hitatchi coil nailers, always been a strip nail kinds guy so really looking forward to sending some with the coils and letting em rip-Also looks like you surf or skate I know balance when I see it, most people can’t billy goat like you, personally the only way I go about framing, I dislike climbing ladders hahaha
Thankyou for that awesome and inspiring post. Honestly I would jump at the opportunity to hire someone passionate about what they do so ya, open invitation. To be honest with you I have sort of taken my foot off the gas when it comes to getting help just because each and every time whoever calls for the job never comes. I am starting to wonder if they send me texts so they can screenshot it to send to there employment officer saying they're seeking out work..thus continuing the money train...I dunno but either way love to have a keen individual like you. I am just finishing up a semi then I am doing a larger custom likely starting this Wed. Let me know and take care
My youtube email address is framingbeast55@gmail.com
@@framingbeast720 sent you an email, I know. People love talking about it but when it comes down to it- it’s always a different story. I’m not here to waste any of your time, thanks for the response.
Trust in Jesus Christ, don’t store your treasures on earth where they will perish, but store them in Heaven with Jesus who will raise us up at the last day.. those who trust in Him , get right with God today
20 years later... my body hurts
No no,
I've been hand nailing for 20 years and I'm in great shape.
@@jessedallas4145 You've been wasting a lot of time.
@Will Nate you got me I'm a slow old dinasor. It's amazing the company hasn't gone bankrupt because we're so slow. Good luck
I am a roofer, well, was... for over 25 years. Anyone that says you cant work like that all day has never been paid 'piece work' so to speak and has never been part of a real crew hahaha. Used a hitachi coil nailer (the same one) the whole time. Rebuilt it every year and it never skipped a beat. From the second the day started til the second it was over, minus breaks, myself and my 9 guys moved just like that. Glad to see there is still some hustle out there. Nice work. Make that money.
Im a carpenter and I've used air nailer and regular hammer and nail to frame walls. I also do metal studs. Wood framing jobs you HV to be fast yep. 👍. Someone said you're sloppy but they don't understand wood framers have to be fast no wasting time. Time is money. I been a carpenter since I was a youngster, I'm 52 now. After this prelonged Covid-19 layoff and pendemic unemployment I need to get back to work soon. I appreciate these videos because on RUclips anybody can learn how to frame nowadays. Back before RUclips I learned the hard way. Bosses be yelling at me lol 😂 that used to piss me off.
Not many of us left who work hard. Respect brother. I don't frame but I do sanitation here in Guam where it's hot. Every day. Everyone always admires my work and wonders how I do it. Thanks Dad. It's how I was taught. It's all I know.
Stuff like this is why new homes always have tradesman at them fixing issues for a year after they are built. Fast is expected, but accurate is appreciated. Its ok to slow down.
Its great for guys like me though, I make alot of money fixing homes
There wouldn’t be a home if he slowed down the investor would go bankrupt.
Nice wall building skills. I did it for 15 years before getting in the union and doing more commercial work. I really miss sticking in big roof systems. You really have something to be proud of when you get done with a cut up monster roof. I don’t miss decking them lol. When you have a two or three bunk roof and up there all day for a couple days, it wears the ole dogs out. Take care of yourself and be safe!
That’s what it’s all about wearing yourself out everyday but to see the progress each day with a nice cold beer lol that’s real man hard work
Great video. I just got out of the Navy and I’m now working with a remodel company and we do a little framing work. I fully understand how you just blow and go all day long you get so caught up in it and forget to take a breather. Awesome work dude definitely subscribing
My dad and pawpaw (his dad) did construction, odd end jobs, etc... they always said you knew guys were good when they make work look easy. Good shit.
And this is why my house frickens creeks when I move around the house.
Haha yep
NOT this guys work, he don't skimp on the nails, extra nails really hold it together tight.
@@ZAPATTUBE too many nails is worse than not enough nails
@@quackhead7492 I thought so. Im not an expert but too much nails splits the wood. Or I might be getting cheap lumber.
@@quackhead7492 With all do respect. The engineers know more about reading books than they do about doing proper work themselves.
Awesome. A true pro makes it look easy, and what you just did is not easy. That is a combination of well honed skills and seriously hard work combined. Well done. Thats how this country was built: hard work, determination and skill.
Much appreciated
Hi! THANK YOU! FINALLY, someone who knows how to frame! I was just looking at some framing videos and laughing my butt off at all these clowns. Framing on their knees, pushing the airnailer against the plate and shooting each time, instead of just holding the trigger down and bounce-nailing, doing layouts on the faces of the plates, and my favorite, the bozos who waste time trying to make the prettiest layouts. ARGGHHH!
I’m yelling, “Do your R.O.s first, scribe centers, and get to nailing!”
Oh, and they are sooo slowww! After 30-something years doing framing, remodeling, and high-end finish work, I've been a retired contractor for 12+ years now, and I could still out nail them, one-whacking 16d sinkers with my 28 oz Vaughan rigging ax while they try to use air. I even ground the waffle head down it so I could use it for a finish hammer! (It’s all about control, I NEVER left any hammer tracks.)
You do a few things differently, but you're rocking on, so those little things don't matter. I used to tell my guys, "If you have both feet on the slab/deck at the same time, you're moving too slowly!" The crew used to say I bounced when I was flying down a wall with my Senco SN 325! Light and fast.
OK, a tip for you, if you don't mind: Try holding the studs, trimmers, crips, etc., flush with the plate with your index finger and shooting the 3 nails from bottom to top. Of course, you let go after the first nail. See if that doesn’t make you a lil’ quicker.
Question: Why do you notch those crips and drive them under the headers? I used either a flush ripper or a piece of plate underneath for the bottom backing. “Header Spreader” sandwiches take too long. *grins*
Take care, brother!
Awesome video. Your content kept me busy while I was recovering from covid in the hospital. Gotta love framing
so this is why i always have to scribe 20ml off the sides of my cabinets when i’m installing on site
They don’t give you scribe on your boxes! Lol
You have to scribe 20ml of volume off your cabinets?
Sarcasm David sarcasm
girls work lol
I am a believer in "it's not how much work you do, it's who's work you do.....
Something's telling me you do custom high-end framing given that statement which would make it true
I take that to mean “it’s MY work”. You’re work is your signature and plenty of guys can bang out quality stuff no problem. Getting paid by the hour? Milk it right? Not me and probably not the Beast either.
same here
Boots, one of the most used but overlooked tools . Excellent work
You are amazing lad. My father-in-law told me that his father was a carpenter trained in Austria and when he came to the US and ran his own small construction business he was right out there with his crew framing and rarely used a saw to get a board to fit. He carried a carpenter's hatchet his tool belt and was very adept at trimming away extra wood lighting fast.
I do this all day everyday 3 years in at 24 years old.built around 40 homes already Love my job and my crew. Respect from northwest Indiana.
Thanks Jacob, keep it up man. You are a valuable commodity these days, trust me if you don't already know
40 homes in 3 years so you take winters off or what in utah we do a house every 7 to 10 day's I have almost 40 years in and I can't even guess how many I've built there was a 10 year period from the late 90's till about 2007 my crew was doing 3 a week Salisbury home's in Saratoga springs ,harvest hills that home builder did 10,000 houses in 6 year's we all made bank
@@quackhead7492 those are crazy numbers. My best is 40 a year but that's counting semis as 2 accounting for about 15 of those. You're a lucky guy to be in Utah. I have friends that live in Sandy.Outdoorsman's paradise..few places in north America you can go golfing and skiing in same day.

great video!! you doo good fast work,,im a framer for 18 years and i can tell,,there a fill things a want to point out like not enough nails on corners and botom plate to stud,,im not criticizing your work,,,but when it comes to nailing the wall i always keep and uniform and neat way of nailing my studs,,just an observation
I nearly done my back in just watching this gentleman work.
Using the nail gun for more than just shooting nails, moving and manipulating the lumber with it along with
toe-nails to flush up the crowns in the boards. Master at work
28 years bangin nails. I'm the cut man for a crew of framers like you. The amount of man glitter I'm covered in every day keeping up is considerable. Nice work, man
Man glitter lmao
A sheetrock crew's worse nightmare!!!! LOL
Impressive though.... Laid out and run with it!!!
The part that it takes more time is marking everything and everything ready to nail, the nailing part is pure production.
I'd say its half and half for time spent

I just walked into the dojo as a newbe and watched the framing black belt do a clinic. That's cool thanks for your hard work man.
Very entertaining. I need you to work at my sites because half the framing has nails that completely missed the trusses on the other side. So I never trust cross lumber pieces joining trusses when I insulate attics. Great work man.
Pay more for skill then

As a residential hvac installer of 5 years, this is very satisfying to watch even though I’m not sure what he’s doing technically speaking
Structurally speaking*
Hvac installer for 6 years, service tech for 6 years, industrial maintenance for 2 years.
Get out of resi and commercial hvac as soon as you can and get into industrial maintenance asap. Your body and your bank account will thank you.
I’ve been planning on doing hvac for a year or so now. Keep delaying myself though lol. Do you think commercial or residential is better?
I was thinking about calling myself a “beginner” with a nail gun, but after seeing this guy, I might be a few steps behind 😀
Never understood why Framers are so proud of going warp speed, and every sub that comes after them has to deal with crooked, out of line walls 🤔
Agree
This is so true I have been framing custom homes for the better part of 6 years and did trim work for two, with that being said I know what it feels like to work after a shitty framer and I wouldn’t touch this building with a 10 foot pole
You friggin nailed it. Well put.
Preety sure that’s how they make the big bucks pal.
these are track homes you morons, its impressive for what it is
hvac installer here , wish the framers i worked with were even half this efficient
For you guys that can’t figure why a bottom header it’s because of the opening under and he’s using the bottom header to transfer the weight on the top windows on each side of the foundation
“Go look at the prints before you question what I’m doing”
Couldn't have said it better
What an absolute pleasure to watch. Totally understand the thing about pace of work, I call it being in the zone, or in full flow. Smashed it 💪💥
That’s a nice stiletto hammer.. it’s solid titanium for those who don’t know, head and handle.. super light. You think he’s swinging a 23 Oz.. it’s 15 or 16 Oz 👍
I framed for 20 years. I could teach you a lot based on what I see, lots of tricks. I'm a West coast framer.
West coast Cali framers! Hit and run get it done, be at the beach by 3:00!
Yeah same here been framing since 1983
I'm guessing "Level, Plumb, and Square" isn't in his vocabulary! I guess It's cool, framers like this keep the work flow coming in by having to keep fixing stuff a few months down the road!
Yeah I had a hard time watching. Like yeah he’s pretty quick. But I’m quick too, and I’m a headache ocd Tourette’s anxiety all that shit I need stuff flush square proper nailing pattern etc. Then at the end I thought wait that’s only like a 12 ft wall
Then his gun his couplers his boots, he must be buying 300 $ tools all the time.
Did you see him just hammer saw that header to fit
Facts
@@renovationsandmore7142 that's why I spoke about quality. And actually builders here appreciate care put into it. Like I was commenting on Brian BigBClark "level plumb and square"
I'm actually fast and can do a uniform job, hence why I said I'll post one day and I'll make sure to include you to show you it takes no extra Time to do a stand up job...
Just to clear it up if this is the video I'm thinking it is I was referring to stomping the header in and kicking things into place rather than grabbing your hammer and using it like it's made for. And if people ie builders don't care about the quality that's just sad because it does matter nailing patterns do matter guarantee your hoses which I assume are built like this guys since you're defending is going to fall down in high winds where is mine will withstand hurricanes (obviously that's a little stretch)
Again if I recall 2 nails in 2x6 is not code three nails is code. 2x4 sure all day but mine are going to be about 3/4 from the top of the plate and 3/4 from the bottom of the plate on a slight downward and upward angle where is your nails will be 3/4 away from each other giving you a fully rotational stud pretty cool illusion though
Mr. Bitchy defending all the hackies.
@@renovationsandmore7142 I did rewatch it so I can be fair with what I'm saying I still agree with everything I just said but this wasn't quite the video I was thinking of for nails in that header is NOT code so don't tell me it is and I can see things aren't flush so my new comment is more what I was talking about the first time and it's way more innocent and needed way less defense than your comment made it seem. I like Adrian and the way he does things
I love how people will say some else can't do something just because they can't do it. If you love something and get really good, when you're fired up and in a good rhythm, you'll go full Terminator mode and bulldoze right through.
The little I know about framing this looks great and efficient to me. Going to school for construction management now looking to get into construction!
Same! I am so intrigued and excited to do construction. Hopefully I will get a bachelors in construction management and make them big bucks 🤑
My head exploded. You are my new idol Man
Thankyou lol
Millennials this is a real man working hard. Putting in work, giving his best and going beast mode.
Millennials are like “omg do I have to wear those boots all day????”
sick video bro! watching you on a sunday, motivates me for monday
your a beast man i hope i can get as good as you about to start framing again next week in still new but ive learned a lot last time i did it and hope to learn more this time around as well hopefully i can get as good a you bro keep it up 👍
No worries on the video just keep banging. Love the content and the wall layout video. Please keep them coming
This is how I like to frame, leave everyone else in the dust, while framing everything tight. Never seen a header below a window though! Good technique, hopefully remember some of the things I saw that I didn't know
Agree 100
EMERGENCY TO ALL WHO DO THIS You don't frame like this building a custom 5 million dollar home.I used to love framing like this.You earn peoples respect.When work gets slow you know your not the 1 staying home until work gets plentiful.Im going out on a small limb and say these are condos or apartments.Dude you can work with me anytime Iceman.Maverick has slowed his roll at 57.I said to myself there will be somebody make a video on its all about nail placement.I can't tell him on his video because I will get reported.But for the nail placement guy ,I know you watched this video to cause your brainstorm.This dude will be laying his last sheet of plywood when you are getting around to building your first corner.Dude, Me and my crew built a 1350sq foot home with floor system .Set windows and exterior doors built all decks 2 of them.Dried in .In 9 3/4 hours.All stick built on site me Had
3 guys like you Including me.Wish I had you we could have knocked another 2 hours out of it.I don't see or know how old you are but I worked like that using a 32 ounce Vaughn hammer when I first started building.If you couldn't set and one hit a 16 sinker everytime Yu out were considered a helper.Nail guns had just come out..Love your work ethics..When you can work like this guy Hard worked probably like this 10 years.Thats when he can make things look like they just fall in place.This guy as you can see, looks like he's working hard He really is probably on half pace. He is also working smart . Which will make you look like your working hard.When you guys that are watching .When you get this good you should be working for yourself.Not saying that this guy isn't the boss..Like I said as a Business owner and a working man.The only way to get respect from your employee's is to work this hard side by side with them.It inspires some to want to be better.Had 3 of them work for me 10 years.Keep showing the public on how hard framer's work all day and never have a minute to talk about our 401k plan,or our 2 week paid vacation.Or maybe our health insurance,Did I mention that it's 5 below and sometimes 105 outside.So when you are sitting around a playing the pity game about your job.Think of this guy.
Then you woke up
@@yaaarightt4127 I may not be as fast as him, but when I'm doing this I'm always looking for the easiest, fastest way. Maybe you don't do this for a job, and that's why you're posting stupid shit like and then you woke up. Why you watching a framing video anyways? Do you frame?
@@Fortehoz did my last comment get deleted
My back hurts so bad just watching this...amazing. Well done
Legend says he never runs out of compressed air.
Worked for Bjordal framing and forming. They breed men like you. Turned me into a fast paced worked like yourself. Loved the video. New sub. 👍
Thanks for subscribing
Code here on 2x6 wall is 3 nails per and rows of 4 every 12" on headers
Here in Canada 2 rows every 16" for 2x6, and 4 rows every 12" for 2x10 headers. We Normally do wall backers nailed to the side of a wall side like a L shape. The way beast does it, saves time insulating tho.
how expensive are they, just put one, especially those !
I think everywhere has a code for how many nails in a 2x6 a 2x4 and headers etc. Just like metal framing special screws and fasteners are needed. Wonder if he is the licensed contractor on the job if they have to have one.
@@donaldmetts5674 They is the NBC for nail patterns and such, but each province or state will have their own building codes. While those exist the nailing pattern we have to go with is one prescribed by the engineer firm. I've had nail patterns from this light style to 3 rows in 2x6 plates every three inches top and bottom for two feet back from a joint each side with 3.5inch nails. It can get crazy, always have to look for the engineer specs.
@@grasby101 and nailing fast isn't always a good thing you split the wood all out and nothing holds.
The only way to make money in framing is at that pace. My guys and I do it everyday. Great job you are killing it!!
You’re an excellent carpenter brotha, keep the good work afloat
As a Sparky, thank you for keeping those nails at least in a line across those double/tripples. been dealing with a LOT of just... like 30 nails randomly placed in every doublestud. Losing our minds resharpening our augers every 3 holes!
What kind of gun is that?? Never seen a coil framing gun
@@natetoussaint12 prob a hitachi
Drives me crazy. Burning up hole saws all day.
As a cladder, I hate him for this. I can see the offset in each stud, would be hell to clad
sometimes code requires nailing 6” oc @ double studs, as a framer, I’d rather you ruin a bit than to fail inspection sorry
Im a 17 y/o in a construction class. Love to frame a wall. By far my favorite
With a gravity gun and a crowbar, he is in Half Life 2
Man, I feel sorry for the drywall crew.
Hell yea. Gotta work that pace all day. Like a train, build the momentum then it carries itself down the tracks.
You know it!
That is the way to work when you love what u do and u are utterly motivated...👍🇨🇱
I love watching this. Awesome skill level!
I would like to try this one day. In Iceland timber houses are not very common, we use concrete mostly. And the timberhouses are built with 2"x6" and fastened together using 6x120mm. screws.
That would be such a time consuming way to frame!! Solid I bet though
I do high end custom homes but we still rock and roll like that. We fly, man, compressors cant keep up. I like the high flow fitting idea... We use an auxiliary tank tank (pig) as well. Really good air reserve for nailing headers or CS-PF 3" o.c.. Frame on, ninja.
Awesome input Matt! The high flow fittings are a very cheap ($30.00) great option for higher air flow and so is the reserve pig tank. Where I really feel the need for extra air is on the roof where girders are involved and high air demand jobs like sheathing floors and walls. I have also learnt that by setting the compressor psi at around 130 this helps especially when running longer lines.
oh here we go with the custom home bullshit again
This is a video showing why new construction is crap compared to older homes. He's more concerned with speed than quality.
You don’t have to be slow to do quality work...
Taking your time to do it right isn't slow. The problem is when speed is the priority, that's when the work is shit.
Is the crown up or down??
@@jerryvickers7048 i dont think he cares lol
I like how you did the jack studs, headers, and cripples. Really fast 💪🏼💪🏼
Imagine real beast mode of not worrying about filming, imagine all the work you could do.
I’d love to see the finish work on a place like this! People he works for must have stock in caulking!
Tail light warranty. Once he is gone off site, he don't give a shit
I bet drywallers and finish carpenters hate this guy
I agree!
Lmao I hate fixing work from framers like this and I’m a framer myself
I know why you say that 😂 finish carpenters have to repair all this mess!
Nice work. We usually burry the wane on all plates and openings. Not only looks better, but better nailing at openings and backing, and easier to flush studs up to plates.
Omg I felt like I was watching a video game especially when you jumped down to fix the bottom plate. 😂
Great job and thank you for sharing 😊
Drywall guys are losing their shit right now.
drywall guys do the same hacky stuff. its the finish carpenters that live the nightmare
@@22KingRancher agreed. I am the finish guy that tries to make framers like this guy look good
😂😂😂fuk’m those bastards always want the ac on
@@fliprodriguez5250 whenever possible lmao. Never works out like that though they don't want to contaminate the duct work
@@jamesgregory7315 do you frame houses as well ? Or mainly trim ?
I'm surprised your compressor can keep up with you
Because he is not using a framing gun
@Ejs Home Improvements & Renovations we've used those pancakes on roofing jobs and they keep up with that just fine so i don't see why it couldn't keep up with this framing.
@@Chriznak just stop
Yes walls go together quick after everything is cut and layout already marked on the plates. My carpeltunnel does not allow me to put it together that quick though.
Now I see why a lot of new homes blow over so easy, the quality of lumber is already fading away each year now we have him speeding through framing
They don't build them like they use to, it's not about quality, it's about quantity. I would never in a million years by a new house. My house was built in 1920 and it's solid!!!
I framed houses for 30 years and I went hard. Supported a family and put my kids through college. Now I'm 51 years old and my lower back is wrecked, my left knee hurts all the time, and I'll walk like a man that's 15 years older than I am. It was still worth it.
Man, I'm about half your age and both knees hurt all the time and my back...and I didn't even do much
Wow man you are motivating! I’m a drywall contractor getting into my own framing you got my sub support!
You did notice he doesn't provide blocking for drywall anywhere. And he doesn't string long walls to keep yaws out.
whoa!!!!! Coming from a framer that worked with a “gettin after it crew”….. This dude can do the work of 2 with ease!!!!!! Way to go hawse!! Get after it!!!!!!
Thankyou, Yeh this job is feast or famine like non other
Your attitude is key bro. Love it . Keep doing
This is the type of stuff that gets me hyped up for work the next day!!!
You know it!
I love this, I've started as a labourer. I'm hoping to work my way up and, have great experience like Framing Beast. 🙂👍
@@Razburri Get it... I prolly should of done something similar as that. I went straight in as a carpenter apprentice and it's a fkng nightmare, even with some experience from my teens into my early 20's (albeit it's been 10 years since i've utilized it).
@@bluerune7305 I've been with the same company for 9 months, and I've learned some things. I always try watch different videos to help with anything I can at work or learn something new for myself personally. I'm 25 now but I enjoy these videos, relearning and understanding things from school.
Long term, my hope is to get younger ones in the community to get into the trades. Or at least fascinated and interested.
@@Razburri Hell ya sounds like a good plan to me and the vids are a good idea, that's what i'm currently trying to do as well. Watching some vids and trying to pick up a few things to apply on the job. Good luck to you, hope you continue to grow and succeed where you are.
This makes me happy I finally got old enough to retire.I was working my ass off all my life for making as much money as I could.Untill I slowed down and really looked at life,never knew how to live.
Lots of us,and those before us worked like beasts too,before you were a flicker in your daddy's eyes.
Learn what life is all about before it passes you by.
Well said
preach brother....this is the best comment section i have ever read
I watched this at lunch to get fired up for banging walls. Beast.
Read all the comments about sloppy framing. It is called rough framing. Only beef would be nail pattern. I’ve seen a bunch of kids come and go but one thing I taught them, “it’s nails on purpose.” I’m 58 and believe me my body hurts. I would like to work with the beast. Might give me a run for my money. Except for the aches and pains I’m in the best shape of my life. Can work circles around the young guys and that’s 40 and under to me. Keep it up! One day you will be at the top of heap and the pay check will reflect it. Every thing I do now is high end one of a kind stuff, mostly roof systems and interior wall removal and reframe work. No prints to go by just making peoples dreams come true. The cabinet guy who talked about having to scribe all his cabinets, not on my job. Unlike beast mode I’ve been on the cabinet end as well. I am always thinking about the next trade behind me. Especially the plumbers and electricians. We’re all in this together. Had a man tell me, “if you don’t have time to do it right the first time, what makes you think you have time to come back and fix it”
When you nail the stud and it’s so off centered on the bottom, the nails will get loosened when you center it on the bottom… when I cut a 120” L shaped counter and there’s an 1” gap from one end to the other this is why… always end up having to cut and slide it into the dry wall… no BS you’re fast AF and the way you move with the gun is so sick, but for the tradesmen after you……..
lmao....righto they are going to catch the blues
I feel pity for a drywaller that comes after him... that wall will be all kinds of wavy
It’s rough framing not piano building, being off center is not nearly as important as the stud and plate being flush, I bet you couldn’t do a a tenth of what this guy can do just wanna talk shit
@@mux2724 no trash talking here! I gave credit where credit is do, I’m coming from 13 years of experience doing stone countertops. Walls being a 1/2-1” off square for a 120” run is common. This is production building, the difference between good and good enough is miles apart. I’ve worked in 100k homes - 15 million buildings, I’ve seen it all!
@@VinnyGjokaj there's no mathematical possibility that you've worked in 15 million buildings. The amount of time that would take would span beyond your lifetime. I doubt seriously you've even hit the 5000 mark unless you've been doing a different building everyday 365 days a year for 13 years.
Air compressor, tons of cheap nails, nail gun...thats how we forget how craftsmen used to build, using joints and fitting the wood together, pinning it with nails..not actually using the nails as the holding force...speed and efficiency, I get it..I just miss all the intricate wood working.
Also, extremely impressed with the work, and your skills.
Check out Larry Haun's framing videos from the 90s. Framing is about efficiency.
We used hammers when I was a kid in the 80s framing, that nail gun is the beast...
Absolutely love your channel. I used to frame and I currently install solar panels. I want to creat similar content. Thanks for the inspiration.
Do I have any idea what’s going on.... nope, but did I watch the whole video...yep! Good stuff big dawg!
I appreciate it. Thanks
For real.... make us finish guys look like bitches 😆
Just as long as you finish guys don't bitch about the framing haha
@@raymondmiller8664 that will never happen...rarrrrrely. finish guy gets the worst angles haha
@@framingbeast720 thought i was the only one. This guy is badass lol. Good shiit man!!
you make me want to put way more effort into my job just from watching this video
Agree 100
If you aren’t already than that’s the problem….
People that say you can’t work like that all day are the people that stand around talking all day!
Preach. Levels to this game and those that can’t just talk about those who can. Same scenario plays out on every job site everywhere
Much respect for your skill and speed.
