I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle ruclips.net/user/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.
I’m building an entire house by myself. I’ve poured the basement and am about to start framing soon. Your channel has been a huge source of encouragement.
Go for it!!!
Hey, I am as well. This guy is full of great knowledge and wisdom! I wish you luck in your build!
What city and state?Brian Mahoney ?
How do you have the time to do that?
Good luck. Hire reputable contractors and you’ll be fine
Scott, you are truly one in a million, perhaps billion with current inflation. I’m not at your caliber, but my two guys and I try real hard to build as efficiently as possible and always strive to give the clients more than they bargained for. You, sir, are my inspiration. I am forever grateful that I found your channel and consider you my mentor. My father taught me the basics, you are continuing my education. Keep up the good work!

Lyle from Idaho. I've been in construction for 22 years, 5 years on my own. I get so much out of watching you do your projects as a one man crew. I'm in a similar situation. As others have said, I would love to know as much as you do and with the skill. With time I will get close. Thank you for the information and tips to make me a better carpenter and builder.
I gotta tell you scott, since stumbling upon your page, and watching this build, this old retired seabee chief, could learn a whole lot from you. You have amazing teaching techniques, and patience. something that is not found too much in the military. I cant wait to watch everything that you are doing.
You are a hell of a teacher, carpenter, and a just damn good man, Thank you sir.
God bless this man and all of his lessons. Carpenters like him are a dying breed.
Looking back and having the satisfaction of SEEING the fruits of your labor. That is a might fine feeling
I so enjoy your content my friend. Been a carpenter all my life and just filed for my LLC yesterday. Excited and nervous. Wish me luck! God Bless from Indiana
I run moffet delivering block and pavers to masons and homeowners and they definitely are a super handy piece of equipment! I love all of your videos and I play them and listen all day while I’m driving for work between freight moffett or tank boom deliveries and I’ve learned so very much for listening to your knowledge so thank you Scott! I appreciate you and Nate. Have a great day and God Bless you and your family.
I used to be an outside sales rep (lumber salesman) and having the "donkey" was a huge advantage when delivering lumber packages. Helped prevent damage and your able to stage product exactly where the framer wants it. It made picking up returns faster for our drivers also.
Donkey instead of "workhorse" because a donkey can do more!
I just lost my job as an outside sales rep due to me breaking company policy by correcting the company’s delivery mishaps off the clock with my own gas. I was doing jobs on the side, specifically woodwork and finish carpentry, and I had to take off early several days of work to keep from falling behind due to a couple really big screwups made by the delivery team. Corporate got on my bosses ass about me only averaging 35 hours a week (on the computer… mind you, I was easily donating 10 to 15 hours a week to the company in order to protect my commissions and take care of my contractors,) and since my boss didn’t want to fill them in on the actual situation (in my state letting an hourly paid employee do work without being on the clock is illegal), he felt that he had to demote me from the full time position that I fought tooth, claw, and nail for for 3 years, to a part time position in shipping and receiving. What a slap in the face that was…. Why would I go to the back of the store and work circles around kids on their phone for half the pay I was getting for doing what I loved, estimating materials and saving people money. I declined the job offer, explaining to my boss that it would be a disastrous use of my time. I then found out why they had picked receiving for what department I should be demoted to.. Because it was technically a 10 cent pay raise (bear in mind, commissions made up 30% of my paychecks, and in receiving there are no such performance incentives,) they don’t have to pay me any unemployment.
That company is so crooked. The fact that my boss has to be so afraid of telling his superiors the honest-to-god truth, that he’d rather give his most knowledgeable salesman/estimator, a demotion alongside an ass-chewing. It says a lot.
Love these videos by far my favourite thing to watch on RUclips, I’ve been a carpenter for 16 years and have learnt so many great tips from watching, keep up the great work Scott
I built a house, most of it by myself. It's a monster undertaking full of smaller jobs. Took 18 months from excavation to move in. That was my first house. Lived there 7 years & built another one. I'm going to build one more probably starting in spring 2023 (depending on building materials cost and availability). Site prep is done. Still drawing the plan.
I prefer working alone but sometimes jobs are beyond what I'm willing to and better left to the pros such as concrete and shingling.
Very impressed, running that whole operation one man took some careful planning and a lot of skill.
Old mate is a very underrated narrator. A very hard thing to do well. He has had practice over the years but he is a natural
That’s how I build the tiny house that had 12’ walls, I just got done with the framing of a 18x26 shop with fourteen foot walls and built them on the ground in 10’ segments. As long as the inspector does make a hissy over the unusual stud placement (all of which is under 16” OC) it worked great. I’m 32 years older and I lifted those walls by myself which I don’t recommend to anyone who’s not an experienced framer. I don’t think I’ll be lift 400lbs walls like that much longer lol. Anyway I’m rambling but Thank You Scott you’ve helped me improve and dream bigger as a contractor and do some things with much greater efficiency over the last 5 years.
You are an inspiration to us aging carpenters like myself.
"""""" THANK YOU!!!!!!!"""""""
When you mentioned Larry Hahn you made my entire week! That guy, like you sir.... are masters in the trade. Thank you from a little ole guy in Hershey Pa that loves wood!
Framing is fun. Teaching it to others is even better.
Thanks again EC. I am a younger man than you (41) but had a pretty bad back injury a few years ago. I couldn’t work, and had to walk with A cain for quite some time. I am fully recovered now thanks to back surgery. I really feel your sentiments at the end of the video. Knowing I can still do the work, get in a days work, be just the guy to help, and make a positive difference in the life of those around me, is an amazing feeling. Keep up the good work!
Great video. I’m currently eating my lunch, taking a break from building my first house, my house, by myself. There are many puzzles to solve, especially when it comes to figuring out where those pesky 1/8” and 1/4” mismatches came from and what to do about them.
Beams and joists for a floor system are challenging when flying solo, and I totally relate to your “extreme sport” comment… there’s an element of risk, for sure, and having to jump 9 feet down after letting a beam adjust my centre of gravity the wrong way, I have invested in a set of wall jacks that will make the second floor a (hopefully) much more predictable endeavour.
Seeing something you designed from scratch literally rise from the dirt and take shape is a truly rewarding feeling. Cheers Scott, you are and continue to be an inspiration.
You are a TRUE mentor! Thank you for taking the time the explain the relationship between life and work.
You attitude is endlessly inspiring. I’ll never miss an episode as long as you keep doing this.
- From a 42 year old man rennovating his own 5 acre homestead all on his own, while working 1.5 fulltime jobs.
Just a real pleasure to listen to your red-blooded independence!
12:47 Slow is precise, precise is fast. Well done, sir!
I see the mag 77 came back 21:22. Love this series. Keep up the good work
The Moffat; a machine that proves the absolute genius of the Irish.
Scott, great cadence and progress along with a job well done!
saw you setting up the chair. i knew it was for kenny. he is such a great friend. beautiful all as well!
Would you do a video on the different types of pressure treated wood? That would be really awesome
Always very satisfying to see a master craftsman at work 😁👌👌👌👌👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Scott and team, you’re just the best. Your videos are great, and your attitude is awesome. Thank you.
You are truly 1 in a billion. Imagine what 30 to 40 million men like this could accomplish. They could build the greatest country to ever exist.
Great job. I framed for decades on a crew, as a lead or superintendent. I framed on a lot of jobs because no one showed up. I would still frame by myself if someone was in a bind.
Watching you build that Scaffolding brought back some memories, can not count the number of times I built and toredown scaffolding sometimes up to 35-40 ft. and number of hours spent on them from 1978 to about 2006 doing Professional Audio, Video Presentation and Lighting. Use to do it without thinking twice about now days I am spoiled and work in the Shop getting everything ready to go to the jobsite. Been thinking about getting myself some scaffolding for doing some work around the house, (more in the 5' to 10' range) think it will make somethings easier on me than working off ladders. Around the house normally working by myself. Sometimes you have to do a little thinking about how to get things done without a helper. Alway enjoy your Videos.
My son and I rebuilt a wrecked (literally) school building into our offices over 7 months during the height of COVID and I cannot describe the sense of satisfaction and pride we have when our clients and colleagues remark and compliment how well the job came out. Thanks for helping me relive those heady days of doing it ourselves.
You are always blessed by the work of your hands
I am neither framer nor carpenter but am working on a barn build and I am marveling at what you are able to do especially being a few years my senior. You are inspirational to say the least
Keep up the good work!
Mate if Carpentry had a 'Story Book voice' you'd be it. Love your videos. Keep them coming. Cheers from Australia.
You are the great professor of being a man. I have learned so much from watching your channel. ❤
Nice job Scott, always a challenge working on the lonesome, but gratifying and fun.
Excellent instruction and tips!!! I love your videos!!!
Brilliant solutions for working alone. Thank you very much for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
Thank you for your creativity in building and making this video.
The metric equivalent of your 48” x 96” sheet is 1200mm x 2400mm.
Love your work 👍
So 400mm is your on center mark?
Thank you! Perfect timing as I begin to transform my dilapidated post-framed carport into a stick-framed shop.
I like how you scooted the rolling scaffold along by grabbing the top board. Great video, thank you.
I absolutely LOVE the internal drive you have to figure out how to do it by yourself.
I recently installed 3 aluminum patio covers from Home Depot that are supposed to be a 2 man job, all by myself.
It makes one have to think. But as I'm 60, I'd better know how to think!
I would love to see a video all about scaffolding... where you can get it, how to use it safely, what it can be built to do, etc.
We usually rent it. With three guys it makes a job like this go very fast and easy. Always one guy on the ground to push the scaffolding, hand up materials, make cuts etc. Must say that we almost always have a safety railing on top.
Watching this series brought back the memories of when I built my 24'x40' two story shop substantially by myself back in 1995. I also find great pleasure working by myself and solving problems.
Somehow I stumbled across this video. I suspect I’ll never do this sort of work, but I still find the video fascinating. I’m a former structural engineer and love watching how things get built. It’s in my blood, I suppose. The fact that Scott can do all of this alone is even more mesmerizing.
I enjoy watching you build , an like learning new tricks an tips. Thanks for the videos
Great video Scott. Like you, I don't work as fast @ 75 as I did @ 55. Some days I'm disappointed at how little I have gotten done anymore. We have a volunteer here @ Sussex County Habitat in Delaware that still comes out one or two days a week to work as our cut man. He's 96 years old. I think this is what keeps him going. Glad to see the grandsons helping.
Essential Craftsman is the This Old House of this generation! Cheers!
My Uncle Art started off working with his father and his brother Carl so he was used to having at least one other carpenter on the job. When I was starting off in the trade I would get traded back and forth between Art and his friend Ralph depending on who needed more semi skilled hands on the job. Ralph was a mason/general contractor who thought that every carpentry job with the exception of raising walls and framing roofs could be done by a single person. Having spent more time with Ralph, as well as not wanting to have to keep a second set of hands busy all day I have stuck to jobs that I could do by myself.
Yes, let that young'ne contribute and watch! Ty for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your skills with us. I’ve benefited on multiple projects using your tips/tricks. You’re also a genuine, good man and I thoroughly enjoy your perspectives. You’re truly a master craftsman. Cheers!
One man crew is mostly what I have worked. You can get more than twice the work with 2 go-get-ers. Not always an option. My grandfather n law said at the end of a day, “We made a good showing but we’ll give her hell tomorrow.”
I had a sabbatical from your content for some reason but I am back and pleased to be watching. Thanks for the great content as always
I could watch these videos all day, but what I would really love is to work with this man! Just to learn.
"on the mantle, not in the toolbox!" lovely work, lovely sentiment. Hello Ken! ciao Darrell
Hey buddy I see you man . I been building houses 27 years now and code has got crazy hasn't it. I love your videos and love how you stay positive in life . God has a plan for you buddy great video
I love your videos and the practical advices you give. That being said though, as a civil engineer who look after a big team, i would never allow anyone to work from that height without proper equipment and training. You are very brave and your experience is vast enough to not put yourself in danger, but I would not risk my team like that.
It's fantastic that you can get it done alone, but I have to wonder where the rest of your family is??
Great job and keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.
"Don't try this at home, kids" lol. I'm building a timber frame house, largely by myself ;) And I don't have your decades of construction experience! Always educational watching you work, thank you.
I live in Powell Wyoming right now! Once you said you lived here it amazed me!
21:35 is something I really needed to hear
u are awesome man truly.... almost brings a tear to my eye
What a joy to see!
My house was built in '55. Not pressure treated sills. An addition was put up in '65, again not pressure treated, just plain 2x4s sitting on a concrete slab and touching the 2x forms that were left in place. Two years ago I had to take all those out- most just crumbled as it was a bank of termite elevators toward the upstairs structure.
Great video, you are an excellent communicztor and natural video presenter...well done ...building a garage in ireland myself...love that grwat weather you have
I absolutely love these videos what a great Saturday morning watching these with a nice cup of coffee, thanks Scott
imagine a team : Awsome framer + Essential Craftman
Thank you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & experience gained over your career. Some won't even consider trying to frame walls alone for any number of reasons but obviously with a little planning and preparation it is possible to do without killing yourself. I had a customer who built homes and did all the framing, roofing, siding, millwork, cabinetry, concrete slabs, finish drywall, painting. They weren't complex large homes of course and he didn't build 100 homes a year but in my opinion that's a "builder". Today, there are "builders" who can't tell the difference between a framing hammer & a finish hammer.
Way to get up there Scott!
Tell you what, the biggest stud on that job site is YOU, brother! Keep up the great work.
Man I love your stuff! Even if it makes me feel like a lazy bum. As an educator, I appreciate your desire to teach the general public about your trade. You'd make one heck of a instructor! Be safe.
A true sawdust producing philosopher.
The Ufer ground is named after Herbert Ufer, the engineer who invented it for the U.S. Army during WW2. The army needed a more-effective ground to prevent static build-up at bomb storage facilities in the arid Southwest. It works much better than a couple of driven ground rods.
-I've never heard anyone articulate the excitement of showing up in the morning on a finished foundation, ready to build. I thought I was the only one who felt this.
-That boy is being given a priceless gift: He is working side by side with men, in a culture where, perhaps, the majority of boys are raised by women.
-It's not the HD5's that are the problem. It's the HTSD's.
-Balloon framing? LOL. I've given up trying to find straight lumber here in Wyoming.
Most of my contracts are in the office furniture business these days but I am currently doing a framing project right now for the owner of my company and boy is it fun to dust off the old tool belt and turn loose on some 2by? And nails.
Hats off to you concrete guy, those walls and that slab look real flat.
The Larry haun mention was golden
Again a top class training video thank you. I really appreciate your channel and your explanations. Please keep em coming as often as you can Scott. Kind wishes from Scotland UK
Great video and thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Wonderful Scott, you are a credit to your forebears!
Such a relaxing video👍👍 As an Englishman I appreciate your dry sense of humour!
20:30 Forgive me for contradicting my elder (if only by a few years) but it sure seems to me like you are being pretty safe. You’re using an expensive scaffold, you’re using those tiedowns in an appropriate way, you’re not rushing, you seem to be lifting safely, and I bet there’s somebody within shouting distance.
Meantime, as much as I enjoy learning how to do stuff, I enjoy these videos that are more about thinking about how to do stuff. Keep them coming. Thanks.
Beautiful job bravo 👏
Thanks for another video, you help inspire this aspiring carpenter in Vermont.
Can only say, THANK YOU.
That square washer seems to make a lot of sense to holding the building together. I can see the top coming off eventually. There must be a good reason for it.
Fantastic video 👍. I Iove framing on my own and when people ask
"How on earth have you managed to build that on your own " ?
I say easy you've just got to think what would Archimedes do 🤔👍🤣
Great to see all those years of experience!
Where we are at the sheeting must have a 1.5 inch nailing surface meaning that the edges must have a double stud every 4 feet...kind of crazy but that is code for our area
In 1942, Herbert G. Ufer was a consultant working for the U.S. Army. Ufer was given the task of finding a lower cost and more practical alternative to traditional copper rod grounds for these dry locations. Ufer discovered that concrete had better conductivity than most types of soil. Ufer then developed a grounding scheme based on encasing the grounding conductors in concrete.
Mark Twain, Bob Villa, Walt Whitman, and Rembrandt all in one!
Ahhh, now I can start my day. Thanks Scott!
Hi Scott, long time listener, first time caller.
Your knowledge base is unmatched and your humility is awesome so I don't feel bad leaving this comment.
I'd like to point something out with regards to the Simpson Brackets you were using as temp bracing. They looked to be tacked with a couple SDS screws for convenience. My question is, did you raise them up afterwards? When installed correctly, they should be mounted to your studs at least 3/4's of an inch ABOVE the bottom plate. The idea being that when the structure settles, your HD hold down can be retightened. If the bracket is mounted flush to the bottom plate, you have no area for that crush to occur because the bracket is holding everything up from the bottom.
A lot of folks install them in contact with the bottom plate which is against the manufacturer specs. According to the product bulletin, the HD can be installed up to 18" high and at up to a 5 degree angle whilst using a coupler.
Your truck is so beautiful
