There aren't a lot of people teaching framing out here, and none that go over it in the detail you do. As someone who's trying to improve his trade, your videos are indispensable
The way u explained how to do this was so easy to understand. Those boys are lucky to have someone like u who actually takes time to show them how to do things without screaming at them. 👍
Shoot buddy, that's a really nice tool. You might've sold me. My foundations NEVER look like yours. I'm always out on every jog.. even a square box somehow ends up 1.5" O.O.S....... This would save me so much time!! Best of all, it'd be much easier to do on my own when my guys decided not to show up for work. Thanks pal, keep the gold comin
One of your best videos Tim. That you recapped at the end with visuals made it an excellent learning experience. Really top notch teaching. Pretty good layout as well😜👍🏾😎
Love these videos Tim! Because of videos like this and RUclipsrs like you, me and my brother were able to construct our first duplex from the ground up!
Fantastic video, Tim! This may be my new go-to video I show after going over how to square a foundation and before we go on site to layout ours with my Construction Technology students at Iowa Lakes Community College!! Thanks again for all you do for the construction industry
I appreciate your videos Tim. I bought a LA180 after watching and just used it last week on a home that i am starting. It is 170 feet with the garage and has lots of steps in the foundation. Did i mention that the wind hasn't been kind for the last 2 weeks? Huge time saver and i know it is square and straight. PS. I mainly work alone, so there is that.
Very good explanation. I wonder if you’d guys (carpenters on social) would be surprised how many people just follow the foundation and never do these steps
Pulse lasers (line laser) will keep you lined up, square over long distances, plumb, and level better and faster than anything out there. If you plan on buying one, 3 accessories that are critical to use in tandem with it would be a receiver, telescoping pole, and a high precision manual rotation stage. A receiver can detect the laser line in broad sunlight when your eyes cant see the laser line at all and it can detect it a long way away from the laser level. You can plant the receiver on a target point and then rotate your laser level to line up on that point. Or if your laser lines are where you want them but you can't see where the laser line is hitting 30 ft away, you can slowly sweep the receiver until it beeps, mark it at that point, and that tells you where the laser line intersects. A telescoping pole is for moving your laser level up/down so that the horizontal line is at a certain elevation. A high precision manual rotation stage is a device thats normally used in the optical / laser industries. Basically its a platform that you can hook your laser level to by a screw that gives your laser level very fine rotation control to help you line your laser line up on a target point that is a long way away. I bought a $60 one off Walmart website and I can hook my Bosch GLL3-330CG to it and have line up on a target point 55ft away. I haven't tried to find max distance yet but at 55 ft it was easy.
Our concrete guys have a tool that allows them to layout all the the corners of a building without ever having to move it. I don't know what it is called or how much it is. They do some good work though.
Yea. Need that, want that, cant afford that. Im not a builder, building my own house, small shop and large shop. Going to have to go with a 16 line Takamine green laser, tripod, and reciever
The proper time to make sure the foundation walls are square, is before the walls are actually built. After the footings are poured is the time to set up the lazer or transit to establish the exact wall locations. Of coarse whenever you get a new toy you need to find reasons for using it. lol
I like the mechanix, the geometry, the engineering, and the applications, ie; reference points for the contractors standard. I’ve seen it, as the frame layout-determination, in light of the finish work, that applies. In the film industry, we can breeze thru, an accurate replica, w/out having to perfect a whole work, forever. Look at Steven King’s Castle Rock , seas. 1 on Hulu, the big house, w/Sissy Spacek, existed in town, and was duplicated in a film studio, in Devens Mass. 🙊details!
I have fears I need to just get over. I dig the first 90° set up, but that move the laser to the opposite parallel well scares me, time for me to grow up I think.
Bosch laser with the remote base is just as quick and accurate and you can walk to the other end and move the laser instead of needing to set the receiver and tweak it over.
Been trying to buy this for 2 years but no store can seem to get it. And when the stores contact stabila directly to get any update on when they can ship them there is no response.
. So at the very first you are manually setting the laser dot at a corner and basically setting your control point yourself then the receiver squares the back line with the laser to the edge, Am I wrong or correct. My question is after setting the back line and taking the receiver to another wall to square the walls/ sill plate lines, how is the receiver doing this. What is the step you have to do before moving the receiver to another wall. And then when you move the receiver to another wall corner how is it squaring. Does the receiver save reference points and you have like reference point 1, 2, 3 and then you chose which reference point you want to square off of. Thats the part Im trying to understand. I guess it would be probably easier having the laser and using it.
It's got a laser that shoots a 180 degree line, and another one that shoots 90 degrees to the first line. If you set it over a control point, you can either manually adjust it until it hits another point, or set the receiver on the second point and make the laser automatically sweep until it finds the point where your receiver is set. In either case, there is no saving of points -- the built in 90 degree laser means you just walk over to the other corner to locate your 90 degree / square line. Hope that makes sense

Probably a total station.
Awesome 😎, can you make a video of the Stabila lar 350 ?
I wonder how it’s holding op on daily youse , and if you youse al the functions
Thank you Sir! Appreciate your content.
How is this stabila working? Is it accurate and don’t need service frequently? Is it reliable?
Yea. Need that, want that, cant afford that. Im not a builder, building my own house, small shop and large shop. Going to have to go with a 16 line Takamine green laser, tripod, and reciever

Great vid
Thanks!
The last 4 houses I've framed have been 2x6 walls on 6" foundations. Not being able to chalk lines on a footing is annoying 😮

I'm here waiting for them to come back out in the UK! Just 2 months more wait to go
keep it up and you will become the next Larry Haun
I can’t hear the beep but my wife can. Wonder if there’s a lower frequency tone for us with messed up hearing
I have fears I need to just get over. I dig the first 90° set up, but that move the laser to the opposite parallel well scares me, time for me to grow up I think.
Yeah I totally get where you are coming from. Once you have coincidence in the laser, then life gets easier
Youre a gentleman

Do you know the model number of this laser?

They should be available now. Supply chain issues made them tough to get
Hilti PM 40-mg is pretty awsome too!
a ton of folks have them in now
Why dont you guys have to sink j bolts in the concrete for the bottom plates?
We can cast in place anchor bolts, or we can drill Titens after. We elect to drill Titen HD after

They left the receiver where the transmitter had been then manually adjusted until it was perfect

👍🏻
wouldn't a 3 plane laser do the same work?
Yep but with much less accuracy. They are great for shorter distances, but can't compete with the tolerances of this laser.
Never snap another man's box..
2k dollars ill pull the tapes.
You'll save time on every job. Those that have this tool all say it pays for itself very quickly.
@@AwesomeFramers oh if i did 20 a year i would get it. I do 2 a year.
Must have 🤔 I’m not buying it.
