[@larryestrada5418]

Your vids pass quick when viewing.Good content,Thanks for sharing.

[@wdbearfan]

I would say your videos are legendary already. I watch to learn. I am a union carpenter in a major city, only 4 years on the job, and have never framed yet. to be honest, I struggle with the aptitude for layout and framing. watching your vids gives me inspiration and hope that maybe one day Ill frame. Im sure a lot of us carpenters are watching and grateful for your amazing content. Thank you , Matt!

[@LuisGonzalez-gf1gz]

WOW, I Know it was only 12 min, but as they say "time flies when you are having fun". Looking forward to the next one.

[@koolkatt714m8]

Man I miss framing. Did it for so many years. Now I miss the smell of fresh cut wood and seeing your hard work going up. Thanks for sharing your love for this. Btw. I want that oversized Skillsaw. 😂😂😂

[@adolfobr123]

Its awesome, was lucky to pick one up locally from a kid for $250 new in box 😁

[@koolkatt714m8]

@@adolfobr123 dang. That is lucky. I work at Home Depot now and we are out of stock. And Amazon wants like 700 bucks for one. And that doesn’t include the blade

It’s called a beam saw lol just in case..

For sure a great American hard working professional craftsman crew. Always enjoy and always learn something...

I've been watching your vids for a while now and I always learn something new thank you! I'm steel contractor but I've always wanted to go into framing

[@bryanparks9316]

I like how you generally always have someone new and learning. Good on ya Matt

[@irvingcobb4395]

Shalom Matt
I clear coat my chalk lines when I cut my saw joints
Thank you for your detail
I’m a concrete contractor learning the ins and outs of framing
Learning this gives me a complete view of the job bidding and real time construction.
It prevents mistakes on both parties

[@T.E.P.]

I like what 50sKid said .... great always Matt ... been a joy to watch the channel since the beginning

[@50sKid]

You should do more voiceovers for the whole video dude. Explain what's going on for the people who aren't professionals. Kinda like O'dell complete concrete does

[@MattBangsWood]

I just bought a new microphone for home. Going to try to do more as I truly enjoy it > music.

[@trentw3614]

I’ll add that things like explaining the 1/8 difference in the sill holes is stuff I like to know.

Excellent video. Why not using an air-seal between framing and concrete foundation ?

Normally I see some kind of waterproofing strip (tar paper strip, foam etc. just curious.

Still makes me smile, when you sling treated lumber all day (used to build decks exclusively) .... seeing a lam beam be heavy ;) its all about what you get use too

I have 3 Skilsaw, 2 7 1/4s, and a 10 1/4, that beam saw is nice, liked how you made a nice clean cut on the 6x in one pass. Even with my Sasquatch I still flip 6xs three times. That’s a good saw, good work boys

[@edmilsonsantoscwb1478]

great job man.

[@dougchristopher2072]

Hey Matt, that clear coat is new to me. Excellent idea. 🙂👍🤙

[@MattBangsWood]

One of my favorite things to do, keeps crisp lines. Funny thing is the day after it rained us out.. This is the first house i've sprayed in a while, just because we're in rainy season.

[@royordway9157]

Hair spray works well too

[@mwaynem]

Great helpful tips. Keep them coming.

[@anthonyr5427]

Great video as always. I also Clear coat my chalk. They make upside-down clear coat that makes it easier then a standard can.

Nice videos man 👍👍

[@fletch397]

Love watching these

[@Bill_N_ATX]

We used to use aquanet hairspray to cover our chalk lines. Cost about half as much and you can find it anywhere. I’m sure that clear spray paint lasts longer and you don’t look nearly as weird buying a couple cans on the way to work in the morning, but hey, it still works. And as any woman will tell you, it’s as waterproof as it gets.

[@MattBangsWood]

Aquanet works? I'll honestly give it a shot, they don't need to stay good forever, just long enough to frame!

[@Bill_N_ATX]

@@MattBangsWood , Yep, well it used to. I’m sure they’ve changed the formula to cut down on the VOCs and you are in crazy California so God only knows. But it used to just be a basic lacquer with a scent added. But it’s a couple bucks a can so it’s not much to give it a try.

[@jdiet-z4734]

I’ll second the Aquanet.

[@annalongfield]

I had a journeyman in Washington use aquanet. It stills works. It's rains too much up here.

[@josehuertainsb]

I like the way you lift that beam with your back

[@adamlloyd4066]

I find that clear marking paint with the inverted tip is more ergonomic for clear coating your lines down, love your stuff man. Best wishes

[@MattBangsWood]

I just found out about that stuff! Looks to work good too. Need to grab a few.

[@Razor32061]

yeah. the Vans are back.

Watching your videos. To study for my real estate exam. Need to know a few of the terms that you use they question like the rafters is attached to the what. And they will give choices but the answer is ridge board. But that was the answer ridge board They will ask is the stud vertical or horizontal but I’m learning tons

Hey Matt is there a reason for you not to put a vapor seal to the base plate(pressure treated)?

[@robertcope9494]

I noticed that also!

[@lucascain1485]

your worker is rocking the cigarette, nylon oxys, and the 12 in speed square on his back, he might be copying some other workers haha

no air sealing where the concreate meets the wood.

Cali code require the beams now, or is that per the homeowner's plans? Mad good, brobro

[@skliros9235]

We use Irwin crimson red "permanent staining" chaulk. That stuff really does stain permanently.

Does it actually? I've used Tajima's stuff and it always washes off..

[@xblindfolded]

I'm surprised you don't use the inverted clear marking paint cans. Might making it a touch easier on your wrist. They are also coming out with a Rustoleum Turbo spray can that clear gloss. Seal Krete clear coat. We've already put them on our shelves at Lowes. Rated to be walked on, driven on etc without losing its sheen.

[@gibramsaucedo8448]

Bang on 🤟🏽

[@not_tiny4452]

What happened to the makita tools. I saw your old build series and makita was life. Haha what made you change? Just curious.

[@hr1551]

Am thinking you may use a drywall lift to raise those beams when you don't have enough people around. Also question when using 6x6 on the end of the wall? Is it required by structure engineer? why not just two 2x6, would give you nailing surface for drywall.

[@deanmozingo9133]

No sill seal ? Serious question. It's required around my parts

[@redditRangler]

Do you like the dewalt cordless more then the makita?

[@robwalker8530]

Nice to see the videos again. Kinda wondering why you didn’t use sill gaskets on the exterior walls. Risinger is big on that for air infiltration. Your thoughts?

[@bronsonbowers890]

Also make a dot with a sharpie when your doing layout instead of the crows feet with the pencil. Better accuracy that way.

[@adamlloyd4066]

Nope

[@passport_revolution.]

You didn't put a barrier between the concrete and bottom seal plate on your wall. That wood will be rotten from the amount of water that concrete holds.

[@davidsolis22]

I don’t know much of framing so sorry for the stupid question , why are you guys using those 6x6 beams on the end of the walls? Is it too save material and money ? Structurally better ?

[@rayg5445]

Have you tried those Pierce nr83s from harbor freigh? I always wanted one but never had my current one break so i haven't had a chance to try one.

[@SuperJimmyBennett]

anchor bolts how far apart? they 9 inches long? you put them in i imagine a little after the cement was in the process of drying? what brand model?

[@KurtMGibbs]

That Skill Sasquatch is so impressive to see in action. Mafell makes a comparable saw for a mere $6,000.

[@MattBangsWood]

Only $6,000? If you don't mind, would you pick me up one when you get yours? That's crazy high price!
Could buy 12 Skilsaws!

[@gibramsaucedo8448]

😂😂😂

[@KurtMGibbs]

@@MattBangsWood Crazy, right? I'll never understand the cost of Mafell tools.

[@mrhortimer1]

Mafell is completely made in Germany. That's one reason for the price tag. I think the other reason is probably customs and import rates in the US.

[@KurtMGibbs]

@@MattBangsWood Check out Scott Brown Carpentry's RUclips episode titled "$10,000 circular saw". That would be $10,000 New Zealand dollars, which equals approx. $7,164 USD.

Do y'all do the interior as well, drywall, ceilings, chandeliers, ect? My 3 year old wants to see the entire process lol.

I wish we did, but I stick to concrete, framing, siding. I can show them the home when it's complete, but unfortunately we don't take care of that aspect.

Nice to see you pouring a tablespoon or two of chalk and not half the bottle like most guys do hahahaha.

Sounds like a fun build
it’s got to be tough not being able to use some of the bigger machinery like in the past builds and having the space around
Very nice work though !!

[@MattBangsWood]

We're going to try our best to use machinery! Definitely a challenge noow.

[@antonlulgjuraj412]

It’s kind of hard to price those things impossible to price by square footage
I usually estimate stuff like this by the amount of time is it going to take me to do it
Excited to see that one wall framed sheated , sided , trimmed going up !!!

[@Ayosalam5]

Hey Matt, I noticed the crew is using 4x4 lumber beams towards the end of each wall studs.
Why the change from the std studs?
Is this for stronger load bearing?

[@MattBangsWood]

They’re actually 6x6! Structurals call. They make the decision.
So on this home we’ll have straps tying first to second story on those 6x6!

.@@MattBangsWood Thanks for the correction 6x6. Looking forward to see the finish build.
Especially with the Zip & flashing you guys will be doing... Great jobs guys!

[@bronsonbowers890]
