Just letting you know, the link for your merch store ain't workin in the description 👍🏼 (great content as always brother)
When I would drive a nail, my brother used to call me "lightning" 'cause I would never strike in the same place twice.
Matt, I am older guy building my own ADU in my backyard. Your videos have been exceedingly helpful to identify and avoid potential problems and useful tips. You have zero arrogance and are massively humble. I promise you, your videos are saving time, frustration, and fingers. Great work. I would love to come work as an unpaid intern for a few weeks next year just to learn more before I build my vacation/retirement home. You and your crew are awesome.
Slow and steady wins the race. Like you said, if I’m hurrying, I’m doing something wrong.
So true. Once I make a mistake I cut my speed in half and almost always finish sooner than trying to rush.
Truss episode better be an hour!
@@rovierFROMosijek pretty sure they hand cut roof no trusses
I'm glad that I found your videos I dunno four years ago all the work I did daily I was a GC that did the work didn't sub out much from foundation to roofing been in construction for over fifty years how applications and materials have changed but the basics are still the basics thanks for sharing Matt
Loving this series, learning alot and I am no carpenter. One of these days all this will come in handy for me. Love from the central coast, peace!
Anybody who has has felt cutting and placing panels in their hands can totally feel this vid.
That’s dope I saw “Atascadero” written on one of the studs. I’m studying Mechanical Engineering at Cal Poly but work construction during summer!
'Learn by Doing' 👍
I've been subscribed for a several years already (pre winery), so I've watched your projects both large and those less large, but the willingness to share has been consistent all the way through. I'm sure there's a bunch of wannabe carpenters that have learned a ton from your videos and gone on to earn $. Keep it up MBW...
They might say you're slow but I think you are awesome! We love watching you build!
El Carpintero de Tortuga.
Excited for the truss video
You still building with your pop's? That's priceless. You all stay awesome!👍
Love this channel big time. Learning a lot from these heroes.
If i may ask, why not sheet the walls while it's still on the floor and raise it done?
Weight. All that plywood adds up
In my area we lay the osb down horizontal, it gives better sheer strength because it is spaning more studs. Also the osb we use has 16 OC lines on it, no need to put those nails to mark the stud locations. Also, to speed things up instead of using a chalk line on a small rip just use your pencil or small scrap wood, hold it against the saw deck as a guide, make one mark and rip. Hard to explain.
There’s literally no difference in shear strength when running sheathing horizontally or vertically
@terencemerritt there absolutely is! If you are spanning more studs horizontally you have better sheer strength.
@@MrC9Oh3I’ll agree to disagree
@@terencemerritt there nothing to debate, it's a simple concept lol
@@MrC9Oh3 must be a simple concept yeah, seeing is how 98% of the houses I’ve seen being built is all vertical, they must be doing it wrong lol. These damn engineers need to get their act together and tell all these builders that they’ve been doing it wrong and take it all down and turn it sideways!
Rough carpenters 4 life!
"Nail Setter Under Sillplate Guy!!!" Hahaha toooo funny. Now I know what to call them.😂
An apprentice once asked me, after hearing about a guy holding a board amd ripping or cut the tips of his fingers off, how do i prevent that? I told him dont put your hands in front or behind the blade. He looked at me as if to say thats sounds too easy. 63 still got all my fingers. I use a paslode frame master 100. Very awesome nail gun
With all that heat, how many beers do you go thru in a day? 😄 (Edit) Ok, you've given me so much info and help now I gotta join.
Do you nail in spacers afterwards or pull them? Thanks for all you do!
Such small shear walls. And it's California. Wow.
Thanks!
I see Tom Silva, from This Old House, use track saws often on the show. I don't believe he's a cabinet maker. Maybe getting up there in age and can't cut as steady and accurate anymore or just product placement for the show? Your thoughts?
Product placement for sure
Tracks saw in my view is THE WAY for a cut man in sheet goods. 2 marks, 1 track, no chaulk line. Straight. More accurate, cleaner, faster. It’s a no brainer.
@MattBangsWood I loved the video very informative! I'm curious as to why on some corners you over lap the sheathing and on other corners you run the ends of the sheathing to the edge of the studs?
Absolutely agree re saw depth
East Coast Arm chair framer here. Was wondering is there something in the Cali. building code about distance between the bottom of the outside (plywood) being x number of inches from The actual ground (dirt).? Thanks!
There is, and I’ve never seen an inspector flag anyone for it even when the sheathing is touching the dirt. And for all the “green” virtue signaling we have out here, still need hardly any insulation or air sealing.
Just curious when you put the nail between plywood sheets does that make you start to fall off of layout when you get to the end of a long wall ?
Clean cuts , little gap
Where are the nails for inbetween the osb
When sheeting an outer corner, sometimes you overlap the sheets and sometimes not. Why is that?
Here’s to Keeping My 2 “Thumbs Up” ha 👍🏼👍🏼
Any particular reason why we don't do gloves?
The brand and diameter of air hose you use would be helpful. Also would you buy it again or is there now a better option? As well as the length of hose you recommend. Sill plate nails are brilliant, Have not see them used in WI. See you in the next one. Thanks.
5/16 flexeel 100ft 👍🏻
Matt: Do you go back and add studs for unbacked OSB edges? thanks
Isn’t the only place with unbacked osb where the windows are?
Nice video, that is a lot of time for four sheets in the beginning, even for custom home building. But still good content
Follow up question at 5:20 what is the purpose of the nails between the sheathing?
Wood swells and contracts
Bang on
I'm watching the series here and all of a sudden I remember 1 guy you used to have. Fox? What's he up to these days?
Who's the Coastie cadet on your right arm? Apologies if this has been asked and answered before.
Awesome videos Bro. What brand of tape measure do you use?
Crescent / Lufkin
Must have been a production framer that said you were slow. There is nothing square, plumb or level in their framing 😂
Everyone says we’re slow, that’s OK!
Matt thoughts on that cheep amazon gun? Ive been wanting a gun good for sheer wall nailing
The magazines on those style of guns are garbage. A lot of guys shave the part where it sticks out a lot because you can’t fully depress the trigger unless you bend the crap out of your wrist. Stick with hitachi/metabo.
You may have answered this already, but does Fox still work with you guys?
Probably the stupidest thing i’ve seen with a saw was with a new guy we had… he supposedly had years of experience as a carpenter. He asked me if he could use the saw i was using, i was busy doing something else at the same time. So i said: sure, if you can rip me this board first, so i’d be done with all the cutting i had to do… he went and made the cut, right over top of his fingers. Luckily i always put the saw on the exact depth i need, so he only cut 1mm deep through 4 fingers instead of losing all of them. Never saw the guy again after that day…
Ya
Track saw save u the hassle of always snappin lines
This is rough framing man real man’s work no finish shit
@@adrielmontiel1887 easier faster cleaner more accurate. 2 marks no chalk line, It’s a no brainer
What do you do to correct for the spacing between joints
Sheet goods are not 48” wide or 96” long, they are 1/8” short so you can have 1/4” gap without changing layout
Grasias amigo for Help 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷👍👍👍👍 you are good...🪚🔨📐⚒️..
What size nails do you use in the nailer when sheathing? The same (16d?) nails as when framing?
Probably 8s or maybe 12s for sheathing
8s
What happened to fox @MattBangsWood
#6 ✅ 🤟🏽
Why 2x6 and not 2x4 walls?
Do you decide to use OSB vs Zip system? Or is just not worth it cost wise?
Zip is hard to get out here. I’ve asked several suppliers in my area and they couldn’t give me a price or delivery date
лайк однозначно 👍
No more Fox Mat
you didn't say the finger trick with saw
Where’s fox?
Do you not answer ur store emails just in case people order the wrong size or something.
why use the nail for the space. Why have the space?
Over its lifetime, the sheathing will naturally expand and contract from changes in humidity. Without the gap, the sheathing will buckle when it expands.
It's a marathon not a race. I've got 36 more yrs until retirement and I'm not going to run myself into the ground
Comment #1🎉🎉🎉
👍✌
Finally someone said it about the track saw😂
Use ours on the job site a ton . LVL, sheets. Mind you havent used any OSB in a few years. Its plywood or insulated zip board
Track saws don't belong on a framing site
@@MrC9Oh3 faster, easier, more accurate, cleaner. 2 marks, no chalk. It’s a no brainer.
@johnm6736 lmao ok, I'd love to see you decking or sheathing a house with a track saw, that would be hilarious to see. I pull my tape and scribe ONE line and rip it before you get your saw set up. Or if the rip is small enough I make one mark and use my pencil as a guide against the saw deck and rip.
@@MrC9Oh3 you sound like the guys who also hated nail guns and then of course cordless saws. I come behind y’all all the time fixing everything 😂 and drywall scribing done working cutting roof angles and rake walls
Too slow huh? “We work at the speed of quality.”
not to be a dick head but imma be a dick head… idk how you guys get shit done… up here in canada we would build two houses in the time it took for you to build one… and i already know what everyone’s gonna say… well then your a hack.. no, there’s just always a quicker better way to do things, and my god this is the longest way around it i’ve ever seen… could save so much time doing things differently from joists up.
Sorry but I think you are wrong with setting the saw blade ..when you have your blade set to a half inch it’s more prone to wobble because it’s top heavy ..any good carpenter will never set the saw blade ..when the blade is down the saw is more balanced and won’t wobble ..if you want to correct your cut just back it up a bit and keep going ..when cutting sheets you should never watch the blade always the saw guide
You can make the cut either way.
The way you describe makes the saw more stable during the cut, especially if you're limp wristed. The downside is slower cut due to friction, and you'll wear your equipment out faster....due to friction.
Every experienced framer I've ever worked around sets saw depth when cutting sheet goods.
I personally cut both ways depending on what I'm cutting.
Always set the depth
Do you set the depth when cutting 2x4s? No? Why would you with sheets then
Being a framer is efficiency..it’s about taking less steps ..I’m not gonna sit there dick around with setting the saw blade when I can just lift up with my hand ..I know where my saw blade is at all times ..if you can’t guess the width of what your saw is cutting just by lifting up with your hand you shouldn’t be a framer
@John-jt8mo lmao it takes 2 seconds to set the blade. I'd hate to see your work if you're in that big of a rush.
Also what a waste of time putting a level on your sheaths if the walls is plumb flush the sheet up and go ..like you said it’s not finish work ..also you should learn how to finger scribe marking out your sheets ..pulling out your chalk line is an extra step ..you honestly seem pretty green man ..
Nothing wrong with double checking to ensure quality, especially if he is still making profit. It's a great feeling to be confident you did a good job. You may not want or need that step, but double checking and finding out you got the wall perfectly plumb is a satisfying feeling for some of us.
This
@CaryChisholm has nothing to do with quality. That osb being 1/8th out of plumb will make no difference at all.
He works at the speed of quality. If you are such a fast precision framing ninja, why are watching him instead of putting out your own content?
@@Natedoc808 he works at the speed of slow as shit
