Loving the little tips. The best part of framing is you're constantly learning. It's amazing how important effective effective communication is where both parties are on the same wave length. That Makita saw is nice and less man glitter in your boot vs dewalt...great oversized rafter hook
I bought my Makita Saw about a yr ago along with a 6.5” . I am a finish carpenter and do a lot of older homes (not that old 30 yrs) where the trim around the house has rotted . I use that saw and I really enjoy using it! Nothing beats that Skill Worm Drive , Mag 77 though! What a great saw! Anyway showing my age now!!
I heard the mention.. hey young guys do not let the scrap drop on the ground.. saves from picking up and bending over.... I started watching this after I came home from my Physical therapy because I am having trouble bending over. I am also almost 60. I may also recommend to the young guys to save at least 10% of your doe from every job you do and do not touch it. We did all of this by hand including nailing back in the day. Lift a wall? Get every man on the site to come help lift gable walls. the other trades knew if they did not help they would not have a structure to work on so all obliged. Now I see a tela handler that rotates side ways never mind does all the wall lifting. I bet my back would not have the problems it does today if we had that machine. I like your style/tricks/new ways. i have learned a few things Thank you very much. One thing I could never see is during work hours back in the day talking to each other nonchalantly and actually making a video. No one stopped when we worked till the end of the day for a cold beer. Hopefuly you are making doe off of this to offset the loss of production.
21:10 "That 1% irritation is just the price of safety" That is a great way to put it. The comfort zone can be dangerous, sometimes you need to force that extra step, so you pay attention to some potential hazard.
Beautiful job! True craftsmanship there. You won’t find a stick frame roof on any production homes here on the east coast. Everything is trusses and engineered designs to take the risk off the “carpenter”.
Framing here in central Canada every house I’ve built include 1-4 million dollar custom homes have all had engineered roof trusses, and as a young framer/carpenter I love building and setting up those kinda roofs but I would really love to stick frame my own roof like this
I noticed you pulling out the tape to set the ridge block heights. You should cut a dummy block to slide with you on the beam to set that height, save you pulling out the tape every time.
Good catch, I did that on the current job we are on, you can see that on IG. I usually just eyeball where it the bottom of the block is on the glulam (as long as its straight).
Help your bro out and mark those rafters 1” on the top for that air gap! If you gotta pull a tape might as well do it on the ground Love your guys work as always-inspiring for a young guy like me
Seems like it would more accurate and efficient, to keep a 1" block/spacer to set the tops of the rafters above the ridge. Just slide it down to next one.
Can you show a little tutorial on how to cut the angles for the rafter at the end of the video? Where the end of the rafter meets the top of the roof. How do you set the saw blade to the correct angles and everything so that you know you are not over cutting or making mistakes when you cut?
Since this is a spec house, how much was the total cost for materials? And what do you charge for all the work? Love to build my own home but it would be a very simple ranch. 4/12 no dormers lol. Just gable ends haha.
Can't help but cry inside when I hear "139 and 2" for 139 1/4" 😂 just kidding you guys are stellar framers! Keep up the good work from a commerical donkey
I have a question. Were the lengths and angles for the rafters listed in the blue prints? I am looking at buying a blue print for a home I want to build on my property. This will be a first for me. Thanks for video.
Why the straw hat looks crooked is due to the curvature of the earth along with your longitude and latitude and time zone with camera angle means that its actually in fact your head isn't symmetrically aligned,and thats that, you'll be tested on a surprise test later...also damn you guys do a great job for not being able to tye your own shoes when deciding to wear them.
good question. In all the saws I've reviewed over the years for www.jlconline.com, this Makita "flops" the best. Others you can loosen the depth nut and use some lube and it'll do ok. I really love this Makita saw.
You cut a lot of blocking off extra long joists / rafters - why don’t you make a jig that hooks the end of the board and guides the saw square to the right measure?
I don't think its worth the time. I'll give it a shot though. Part of the reason we have so much material for blocking is that we can't get 18' 2x12, so they send us 20's but charge for 18'ers. I forgot to include that in the video. Same thing with 14', they send us 16' for a 14' price.
I made one a few years back - old wooden hockey stick screwed to plastic speed square - cut the overhang off with the saw - used it quite a bit but then took it apart because I need the square one day - should have put it back together - hard to get wooden hockey sticks now. We were cutting a bunch of bridging in an old house - my father only had to call out plus or minus 1/16, 1/8 etc. Love your channel
15:00 America is built on individuals and each individual's pursuit of happiness, collectivism is an Eastern philosophy. So your sarcasm isn't very well recieved there. Otherwise I enjoyed the video a lot and thanks for the information. Love a young and aspiring framer.
I'm just glad we can respectfully disagree. Seriously, how boring would life be if we were all exactly the same? I appreciate the way you didn't troll or go ad hominem when I said something that you didn't like. That sets a good example here, so thank you 👍👍
So why the dark ages vented roof? Spray foam under roof and save your clients big dollars for life of the house. Savings outweigh cost of foam. Especially if you consider the life of a well built house.
Hi Brad. Spray foam in our climate does not provide the savings to outweigh the cost. It is extremely expensive here, our energy costs or low compared the rest of the US and our climate very mild. It also doesn't provide the air sealing advantages widely claimed. We know because we blower door test all our homes and recently partnered with a spray foam manufacturer. It was a test house and very disappointing to all involved. While I agree there are some big advantages to a "hot roof" or unventilated assembly, there are some major disadvantages as well. A vented roof assembly here, is very durable. This house will be very energy efficient, quiet and comfortable. It is wrapped in 1" polyiso foam, will test at 2 ach/50 or less and use energy efficient appliances.
Haha. What should it be? Carpentry? Dont you have houseplans. The roof is made in the company fix und fertig . And then to the workground. And no beam shoe? Or rafter milling? Only 6 4" nails from both sites? Sorry this is " kinderkram"

Me and my brother run a two man crew as well. We would love to work with you guys just to learn. Keep it up fellas
I’m putting an addition on my house and I bought that saw. I’ve had really good luck with it too. Especially how straight it tracks.
i fuckin love these first person POV carpentry videos
That is a thing of beauty that’s for sure 👍🏼 nothing like hand cut roofs.
My elbows were hurting just watching! Keep up the great work!

In Ireland we call truss roof carpenters , plastic chippies
Where on the east coast is that? I'm about as east coast as you can get, 1 mile from the atlantic, and every house goes up with stick built roofs.

First time subscriber. And yes.......its a thing of beauty.
You guys are good.
Learned some good stuff.
I love the stupid what if conversations. Especially on the drive in and home.

great videos. Just found your channel and I just love framing.
Nice work 👍
Nice job! Can you snap a line on that ridge for the vent blocks so you don’t have to measure height for each one?
Seems like it would more accurate and efficient, to keep a 1" block/spacer to set the tops of the rafters above the ridge. Just slide it down to next one.
Beautiful work 👏
nice @ great job @ lovely
Can you show a little tutorial on how to cut the angles for the rafter at the end of the video? Where the end of the rafter meets the top of the roof. How do you set the saw blade to the correct angles and everything so that you know you are not over cutting or making mistakes when you cut?
The bevel is set to the pitch (angle) of the roof it's landing on and the angle is the compliment to the ridge angle.
check out this video and see if it helps ruclips.net/video/8elNffTYq40/видео.html
Awesome video, awesome framers!

Everything is 1/16” increments so that’s 1/8”, not 1/4”
As usual, stellar job. Just gonna sit back and count the over cut trolls that enter the conversation.
What's an overcut troll?
@@galvanizedgnome I sense the sarcasm is strong in you! Lol!
I have a question. Were the lengths and angles for the rafters listed in the blue prints? I am looking at buying a blue print for a home I want to build on my property. This will be a first for me. Thanks for video.
God bless you
Chalk a line for bottoms of ridge blocks
Do they have a video or prints for these sawhorses?
Looks like you're using the HIGH pressure Max system and guns? Big up front cost, how do you like it and why?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
what do you do to get the shoe on your saws to be that nice and floppy can a milwaukee or skil be made to do that or is a reason to switch to makita
good question. In all the saws I've reviewed over the years for www.jlconline.com, this Makita "flops" the best. Others you can loosen the depth nut and use some lube and it'll do ok. I really love this Makita saw.
Молодцы!
Hi from Easton Maryland! What is the gun that you are using?
the XSR01Z is undefeated. just wish i bought more batteries before they tripled in price
I haven't looked lately, they went way up? I always try and buy when the throw in extra batteries.
Why not gang cut those rafters to save time?
32:35 shhhhhh they’ll never know
Do you have plan on how to make those sawhorses ? Or a site where I could get them from
1:26 - Young guys, save yourself even more time by having a scraps bin to chuck 'em into!..
Do you guys do work on the eastside of the water?
You cut a lot of blocking off extra long joists / rafters - why don’t you make a jig that hooks the end of the board and guides the saw square to the right measure?

@@gregorymacneil2836 I'd love to see that. Jigs are one of those things that could have their own YT channel
Their only over cut on one side I do it to and everyone always says something but their not stair stringers
What kind of square foot price do you get for framing, labor only?

Calm down, Devan. 🙄
I appreciated the humor.
Details on the jackass sawhorses ??
Hey! Go easy on the neighbors pressure washer.
1:29 I am not taking that risk bro🩸HSE first!🏥
2x12 24' long! Each one must have cost an arm and a leg!
especially when lumber shot through the roof (pun) summer 2021 😬😬
I would've expected some finger joints in there. This is plywood joist territory.
@@Fekillix Back in 2008 I ordered 30' 2x12 DF and it was really good quality. I don't know what those would cost now
One website (shillings something or other) has them listed in stock @$153 ea. Yikes. 11.5x1.5x30'
1:29 If you do that a billion times, you'll most likely cut your fingers off on one of them. Just think about it!

I just noticed that hook is huge lol
I’ve seen a guy try and catch the off cut and cut himself with the skill saw, not recommended haha
good point, this is one of the reasons I love these saws with brakes.
Thank you for turning off the camera Tim.

What in the hell is wrong with you
Birds beaks
catching the scrap seems kind of dangerous no ? hahaa
I suppose it is. With the brakes on these saws, the blade has stopped and the saw is stable, but I probably shouldn't have shown that.
there is one place that you do need to hand finish birds mouth, visible work.
Taking time to leave your mark of superior craftsmanship is not your legacy. You just want the money it's ok.
