The response we've gotten on this video is insane! You guys are awesome.. Building a House | Ep. 2 & 3 will be out this week! Keep an eye out. ;) We'll cover Plumb and Line, Wall Framing, Floor Systems!
Thanks for the memories , I was a carpenter for 13 years. I plated, did lay out, framed, did pick up, joist, cut stairs, but mostly plated, man I was fast. Back then it was piece work, so you had to be fast. Then I joined the union. Then the economy took a dump in the early 2000 , could t find work, so I started driving rigs, been driving for 16 years now.
Someone commented in regards to the saw being set down on the guard.. This is why I'm filming this series, you'll get to see how WE work. We're not perfect, and I'm okay with that! We may do things differently than you do, but that's the joy of it, you may learn something new, or may be able to give advice on something we could do differently! The next video, wall framing, will be much more helpful to you new guys! I'll explain how and why we do things, and you'll have a pretty good understanding of how to frame walls! Thanks for the support, I look forward to finishing this series!
I’m used to my guard being pinned, so setting it on the guard feels weird to me, because it’s typically just an exposed blade. Everyone does things differently, and that’s why I’m stoked on this series!
Setting the saw down on the guard ! What’s wrong with that ? I usually wedge mine open or put a panel pin in the back . Blade stops in 2 seconds anyway
I like to watch this it reminds me of working with my dad doing framing hard work but fun too. My dad had a 3d grade education but could build a house with his hands. Thanks pops RIP.
I love all of your videos!! Looking at buying land and building, wanted to see what it takes to frame so thank you for making these series!! Watched all of season 2, going through 1 now! I love your explanation style! Thanks for taking the time to make these!
This is really awesome to watch, I don't have the chance to practice framing, so these kinds of videos are like virtual experience to me, one thing that I was curios about was why there isn't any sill gasket underneath the plates, you need to cover the whole wood plate to prevent moisture from doing damage as condensation builds up between two different surfaces such as concrete and wood, this is the only build where it hasn't been done that I have seen so far. I don't say any of this to knock you, I am curios for the sake of knowing wether you have reasoning on why you do it this way, thanks for the vid.
No need for sill gasket if you use pressure treated, at least from any building codes where I have known. Can def see the pressure treated mud sill vs the bottom plate when he starts doing them. I think adding sill gasket to a treated board is overkill and would only be done if it was required, which I dont know of any codes that require it.
I enjoy watching your videos, especially the start to finish videos and playlist. Your background music is so, so relaxing. keep up the good works. MattBangsWood.
He uses a skill saw very safely, short piece of wood falls, turn saw away from when done with cut, turns saw so blade is completely away from his feet from body and set saw on guard so it lays flat
Just binge watched the latest videos, now starting from the beginning.. matt bangswood is the truth..guarantee ur father proud of u 👍 mahalo Braddah Matt from HAWAII
This is great . Love the videos . Very interesting to me as I live in the UK and almost all houses here are built with double bric cavity wall . No timber on outer walls . Newer houses are single brick exterior with timber interior though .
I somehow stumbled to this and am super stoked to see someone from my area doing this I’ve been growing up in the trade here on the central coast and I love watching these videos to learn more so I can impress my pops.
Question: The interior pressure treated boards that are lying on top of the slab don't appear to be anchored down like the mudsill is. Am I missing a step here, or do those bottom boards not need to be bolted down because the rest of the framing will keep everything locked tight? Non-construction guy here just learning some of the basics before I tackle a small wood framed shed (so, it isn't really relevant to my project, but now I am just super curious)... thanks for the vid series... I am enjoying the first-person video angles immensely!
Scott, the exterior mud sill is anchored down with bolts and hold downs. 😊 The interior walls get shot down with 2-1/2” pins (Hilti DX36M gun), good eye, very good eye! When we plumb and line, they get shot and held in place.
Just became a subscriber, and I got to say, your content today is way more enjoyable. You make me feel as if I'm there with you with your builds. Keep it up! Can't wait to see this winery completely done.
Need more discussion on “why’s” and “tips and tricks”. Did not need to see every piece installed. For example, why top nailed on side, how to mark bolt location before drilling holes, etc.
In Canada code requires vapour barrier between wood and concrete and sill gasket around edge. In Canada typically don’t build slabs but put in full basement
We always use some kind of sill gasket. Kinda stupid to use PT wood on sill plate if it gets wet every end of frame would also get wet and still rot and something have to be really wrong if water gets there.
A few questions: 1) I noticed you guys seem to put untreated 2x4s on the concrete, why is that? Won’t it rot? 2) how come you guys are using hammer and nail instead of a nail gun? 3) why are you tacking the top plates to the base plate? Sorry if these are dumb questions! Thanks for your videos!
Great video. I just wished you demonstrated how you figured out where to drill the holes on the bottom plate for the anchor bolts. It just starts out with the bottom plates already placed.
Quick question: what is the purpose of adding wood planks around the house and over the house frame? I'm new in this field and trying to learn how to build a house. Btw, your channel is pretty helpful. Thumbs up!
Damn bro, you can get down with the best of them! Money bro. First time watcher and subscriber. I’m hooked. I’m a concrete finisher in Louisville Kentucky
Great vid. Thanks for making it. I love the GoPro cam. I'll probably be following all these house building vids. Side note: I'd prefer just the sounds of building without music added on after.
@@MattBangsWood I thought it was a cool trick to get it to land like that. I just started as an apprentice with a framing crew and I really like it, but I'm starting late (31 yrs old) and I'm hungry to learn as much as possible quickly to try to catch up. Was thinking of joining the Army to be a carpentry/masonry specialist. Ever work with military trained carpenters?
Question: You did TAKE TOP PLATES UP What is this process and what is the purpose? Will these non treated wood stay there or it’s just support or squaring ? I’m so Addicted to your videos, I have watched some of them more than 5 times ,
@mattbangswood if doing ridged foam on outside of building, would you set plates back thickness of sheeting so foam would be flush from wall to foundation?
I have framed for over 20 yrs. Its very interesting to see other carpenters and a newer generation passing on the skills from there parents. Ofcourse i thought mabe laying out both sides of the stud is easier for you younger guys, a quick tip for ya to speed up layout time |x where studs are an be more specific on window and door openings. |k|c| 35 in hdr |c|k| an always write as much info on ur plates as you can for your installer.
Enjoy the first-person perspective, though a little more video (and commentary) on how or why you're doing things would probably engage a lot more viewers. For example, I know how you probably marked the holes for the bolts in the sill plate, but I bet some others didn't and were curious.
We always framed our outside walls first then payed out the rest of the floor. Just wondering, why do you lay everything out in floor first? Don’t you have to keep moving top and bootom plates around as you frame cause they are in the way
Whats the skill/position called to mark the slap for framing walls? Meaning the one who does the layout on the slab with the wood to be frame? Thanks im grabbing all the tips and tricks i can also thanks for the blueprint help had to teach myself but you introduced me to greatness
17:58 it’s the line you put after the king supossed to be you jacks or those x are for the jacks ? Also I just found your videos and they are helping me a lot
Why did some of the non-treated 2x6s get put vertical while others layer flat? And why did a couple of the non-treated get nailed flat along side while most others on top of treated wood? Thanks
Great vids Matt! Have watched quite a bit of the vids on your channel. Can you talk about how you are squaring up before you snap lines on the exterior walls?
WISH HE WOULD EXPLAIN WHY HE DOES WHAT HE DOES. they plate than the attach lumber on the side to each plate. do you have to do it? or is it cause it looks kool? trying to kill time from the day so they dont finish early?
Just wondering mate why you don't use a nail gun for those boards (the bottom plate boards that run of a 90 degree to your bottom plate? As I see you hand nailing them.
New subscriber from Australia mate, where abouts in California are you based? Always great thing to learn about different Carpentry Techniques from around the Western World. I'm enjoying your content. Cheers.
Matt can you describe and explain the type of foundation needed for that house? The foundation properties. It's process to be laid down? The foundation is part ofthe house? If yes, then this video name should be titled ep. 2?
@Tanknyankin Yes i see that, but in some areas you still need a moisture barrier. I checked California building code already and they do not require a sill gasket/barrier like other states.
The response we've gotten on this video is insane! You guys are awesome..
Building a House | Ep. 2 & 3 will be out this week! Keep an eye out. ;)
We'll cover Plumb and Line, Wall Framing, Floor Systems!
Your a badass framer. Keep up the good work and keep putting out knowledgeable videos.👍👌
I see your doing it Larry Haun style...good job , especially for your age
Richy Rivera lol Larry didn’t use a speed square for his cuts.
Where's the kitchen?
How can I join ur crew seriously

Lol last company i was with I had a carpenter yell at me for placing his saw down on the motor side. Everyone is different.
I’m used to my guard being pinned, so setting it on the guard feels weird to me, because it’s typically just an exposed blade.
Everyone does things differently, and that’s why I’m stoked on this series!
Most of the time, I just hang it on the hook or set on the guard so less dirt gets in the motor
Setting the saw down on the guard ! What’s wrong with that ? I usually wedge mine open or put a panel pin in the back . Blade stops in 2 seconds anyway
guard? lol
New genre - FPF. First Person Framing. Like it!
Glad you like it! This is going to be a super fun build series!
I like to watch this it reminds me of working with my dad doing framing hard work but fun too. My dad had a 3d grade education but could build a house with his hands. Thanks pops RIP.
I cant watch, I've been watching for over a year , but with this new formatting I'm getting motion sickness
Where was RUclips when I was a teenager?! I would have actually taken a trade instead of college
That’s my goal is to show people building can be rewarding and fun! Not everyone’s built for college..
Hell yeah, same!
me too!
Yeah with teachers and "guidance" councilors telling us not to get into trades.
I was just thinking the same thing. I've wasted SO much time in my life. I could have been doing something enjoyable all those years!
I love all of your videos!! Looking at buying land and building, wanted to see what it takes to frame so thank you for making these series!! Watched all of season 2, going through 1 now! I love your explanation style! Thanks for taking the time to make these!

Looks like pressure treated bottom plates, which are allowed for concrete contact by some jurisdictions.
No need for sill gasket if you use pressure treated, at least from any building codes where I have known. Can def see the pressure treated mud sill vs the bottom plate when he starts doing them. I think adding sill gasket to a treated board is overkill and would only be done if it was required, which I dont know of any codes that require it.
I’m from Nebraska, and we are required to add sill-seal ...or mud-sills .. however you may call them in your area.
As a new budding home inspector, I'm finding these vids very informational. Thanks Matt!
I enjoy watching your videos, especially the start to finish videos and playlist. Your background music is so, so relaxing. keep up the good works. MattBangsWood.
GOLD!!! thank you for this 🤙🏽 no chatter, the visuals show all the reference im currently looking for
Man, I found your videos yesterday and stuck on watching them. Great job on the builds.
Gotta give crazy framer his respect bra no but really he’s great
He uses a skill saw very safely, short piece of wood falls, turn saw away from when done with cut, turns saw so blade is completely away from his feet from body and set saw on guard so it lays flat
Appreciate you noticing this. Most people swing them around like mad men.

As someone currently studying to become an arquitect, this helps me gain insight on what is done after im done doing the blueprints, thank!
Besides being a bit dizzy from watching this, I really enjoy it.
This is great . Love the videos . Very interesting to me as I live in the UK and almost all houses here are built with double bric cavity wall . No timber on outer walls .
Newer houses are single brick exterior with timber interior though .
That's rare in southwest USA.

Whereabouts you from?
All I see is professional craftsmanship!👏🏻👍🏻💪🏻
I watch your shows every day like homework to get better at my craft and its paying off. Screw being a laborer!!!
the day will come when this video surges with new views, great content mate!
Hahah, thank you! It’s been doing it little by little, moving up in views. Glad people are enjoying it!
Thanks for keeping the original sound ..good watch 🔥
Thanks,Matt.All my respect,bro.
I really like these first person videos
matt bangs wood is the best! Yeah

Very helpful. Cheers mate from 🇦🇺
Finally I found a nice channel. 👍
If you’re that far back, you’ve got months of stuff to watch leading to today..
@@MattBangsWood Yeah. I am willing to. Thank you for sharing really good contents.
I cut lumber over my foot too! Sometimes you just gotta get it done. 👊🏻
My left foot has a knot on the top of it from cutting over my foot, can drop a 2x12 on it, probably wouldn't feel it! Haha.
The ones who don’t I worry much about ..
Nice workmanship skills, enjoyable to watch. Thanks.
Hey thank you for sharing your videos and your knowledge! I’m just a laborer but I really like this job, is really nice!

For example, why top nailed on side, how to mark bolt location before drilling holes, etc.
Never heard of watch and learn
Look up the big foot layout stick, you might like it for when you're laying out studs on your plates.
My Dad has one, and uses it frequently. I need to buy one myself, haven’t been laying out long.. He always did it before!
In Canada code requires vapour barrier between wood and concrete and sill gasket around edge. In Canada typically don’t build slabs but put in full basement
Talk about tactical reloading this man is switching tools so fasr and efficiency
Sill gasket or caulking under those plates? Not for water cause I know those are PT wood, but for bugs and cold air intrusion ?
@articity Concrete > Sill gasket > then mud plate usually you get something in between the concrete and first plate.. to my knowledge
Thick bead of acoustical sealant
We always use some kind of sill gasket.
Kinda stupid to use PT wood on sill plate if it gets wet every end of frame would also get wet and still rot and something have to be really wrong if water gets there.

very nice to see this going forward, whatching these all, came just back to comment and like
Awesome! Glad you’re enjoying them. Much more to come. 😉
I am not a framer could you explain the marking you are making like the 0-35 thing and why you would set some of those 2x4 on its side and not flat
The boards you are nailing to the pressure treated base plate don't need to be pressured treated?
Thanks for the wonderful video!
I love this carpentry job I worked a lot in the United States of America ❤️❤️
I enjoyed the video, I’m going to begin working in this type of work with no experience so I’m ready to give it my all 🔥💯
This is interesting as hell to watch
Thanks for your videos, I'm starting to frame my garage and your videos have been very helpful!
Great vid. Thanks for making it. I love the GoPro cam. I'll probably be following all these house building vids.
Side note: I'd prefer just the sounds of building without music added on after.
Enjoy watching all your video's.
Fantastic vid, well done. 👌🏻
Watching this is very inspiring! Keep up the good work!!
Looking forward to to the process!
I’m just getting into carpenting so please excuse me for asking, but why are some of the panels you nail on to the base in different positions?
Matt Bangs Wood in Street Shoes
How come you guys didn’t use pressure treated wood for the tack top plates? It’s touching the foundation to so shouldn’t it be pressure treated too?
2 people in 3-1/2 weeks... Let's go! 😎🍿🍿
I am from India and keep watching your videos
Im a full time framer,im at home sick today,and still cant fully stay away lol good job guys,well done

Hi Matt - what is the purpose of nailing the non-pressure treated wood to the pressure treated plate on the outside of the concrete slab? Great vids.
My question also
@mattbangswood if doing ridged foam on outside of building, would you set plates back thickness of sheeting so foam would be flush from wall to foundation?
I'm so confused, are you putting nails in the wood or nailing it to the foundation?
Love the video!!

But if he IS the installer and he doesn't need all that info why would he take the time to write it? Just curious...
Yep, that's what I figured.
Damn. You boys hustle.
What do you call the 2x6(?)s that you’re nailing vertically to the bottom plate? Is that to have something to secure the siding to?
many lay out as far as marking studs differently regardless witch ways faster glad to see this content 😝
I love he does the call of duty walk mode with makita saw . Time on video 3:55
Rockstar for having the balls to to do what you're doing!

I see sime Larry Haughn techniques.
great job
Diggin the work swag good work bro!

Great vids Matt! Have watched quite a bit of the vids on your channel. Can you talk about how you are squaring up before you snap lines on the exterior walls?
I heard 95.7 the beat, im in santa maria ,didn't know you were local!
Great vid!
Thanks!
Sorry stupid question, but why do you tack those plates to the sides of the mud sills?
I love Cottage Shed
WISH HE WOULD EXPLAIN WHY HE DOES WHAT HE DOES.
they plate than the attach lumber on the side to each plate. do you have to do it? or is it cause it looks kool?
trying to kill time from the day so they dont finish early?
Just wondering mate why you don't use a nail gun for those boards (the bottom plate boards that run of a 90 degree to your bottom plate? As I see you hand nailing them.
They aren't permanent, they come up again..
Do you have a video about snapping lines where you put the plates I want to learn layout
Does all the wood that is coming in contact with concrete have to be treated?
Dude - nice videos! Keep it up!!
New subscriber from Australia mate, where abouts in California are you based? Always great thing to learn about different Carpentry Techniques from around the Western World. I'm enjoying your content.
Cheers.
Matt can you describe and explain the type of foundation needed for that house? The foundation properties. It's process to be laid down? The foundation is part ofthe house? If yes, then this video name should be titled ep. 2?
Love ur video's brother
Question: Is wood directly in contact with concrete allowed in this building area or do you need to have? Moisture Barrier?
@Tanknyankin Yes i see that, but in some areas you still need a moisture barrier. I checked California building code already and they do not require a sill gasket/barrier like other states.
I was thinking the same. I wonder if this is allowed in EU.
Is that "Fusion" im hearing? excellent work music..... If ya gotta bang.... :)
What is that board you tack all around the sill plate on the exterior? Never seen that done before around here.
My top plate. Can’t put it inside when you’ve got bolts / stem wall.
Im your long distance apprentice!!!
