- I am going to be filming a video for every day of this framing job, showing everything we do and all the mistakes/problems we encounter throughout the job.
For the first day we cut in the wall plates, went through marking out all of our walls and got a start with framing them together.
I want to make this series an enjoyable fun series to watch, but also share some knowledge and tips as we go. If you have any questions about framing, ill try to answer them all throughout this series! - Jak na to + styl
i really like that your never forget your please's and thankyou's. Its an insight into the kind of onsite culture you're trying to create.
yeah really good to work with, not having a rude prick boss demanding things, yelling at you.
*Pleases. *Thankyous. Go back to primary school and learn the basics of writing a sentence mate.
Awesome to see an Aussie channel covering this stuff mate. I usually watch the Americans but love that I can follow along when you're calling out in Metric! Not a builder, but someone who loves to learn and do my best to do it the right way. Appreciate the effort that goes into filming. Cheers!
Thanks mate!
I appreciate you watching and glad you can learn something from this! Cheers
Cranking the videos out Dave, top man great work👍🏻
Cheers mate!
great video man, i love the comms on-site too. i run a small design studio by my self so plugging in and listening to this was awesome!
Hey man! Love you stuff, would you share what you have written down for bricks/ framing that you use daily? Cheers
these videos quickly became the most anticipated videos for me to watch any time im on youtube, as an aussie its great content
That’s awesome to hear! I am stoked that you’re loving them and watching them!
Thankyou
As an apprentice that doesn’t do too much framing these videos are incredibly informative thank you
I’m glad they are! Thanks
@@DaveDoesCarpentry I’m 3rd year in Queensland so it also interesting to see different methods aswell
Working in Pre nail myself and making sure it's bowing the right way is so crucial. Cool video Dave
Makes a hell of a difference in lock up, so it’s awesome that you care to do it even tho you won’t be straightening!
Cheers mate
Awesome vid mate as a fellow framer from ACT. Only thing I can say we do different to you guys is cutting the plates as a pair on the droppy. 👍
Cheers mate!
That’s not a bad way to do it, guarantees that the plates are the same!
Great video, very interesting video. How you build is completely different to how we build timber kits here in Scotland 🏴. Keep the videos coming
Thanks mate!
Do you build your houses similar to how it’s done in the US?
@@DaveDoesCarpentry I haven’t really watched any American framers we do the foundations then build up to dpc level then pour the concrete solum. Then we fit and level a wall plate with dpc under that and the kit sits on the wall plate. Also our kits are 6x2 cls
Awesome video mate! Can I get a copy of your apprentice notes too? Would find it very helpful being my first year out on my own!! Cheers
lots of useful information thank you
my boss and i shift windows to work bricks or half bricks makes it easier for the bricklayer so we have a brick tape going
A brick tape is a great idea! I’ve never thought of that before but that would make life so much easier
I’ve always framed out for a 2400 window @ 2460. 20mm jamb either side and 10mm of tolerance either side. Wondering if this is a state thing?
Nice Hammer! Keep up the good work 👍
Cheers legends!
Top keep going with the vids
6:05 where can we get a copy of those
How will the brick layers lay the brick on the wall that's right up against that rear fence line?
I was thinking that too haha
Still finishing the vid, but any chance those apprentice notes are up for grabs? First year here.
19:11 hey dave just wondering if the hoopiron cross is facing internally, when it comes to lockup how would you buzz those walls? (Assuming you had the studs bow down when building that wall) also great work looking forward to your videos to come!
You get a nail puller and take out the clouts that were nailed into the hoop iron and then grab a circular saw and do a small cut into the stud above and below the hoop iron and chisel that bit out. When you do that the face of the hoop iron will be well below face of the stud so then you can easily plane it
Do any builders have the walls pre built in a factory or does it need to be done on site?
some crew do yeah
Hey bro, do you reckon you could make those notes at 5:25 available for download
How are they gonna clad that back corner, how does anyone squeeze in?
It won’t be easy, it’s all going to be bricked, and the brick layers are in for a rough time 😅
great video. i did notice u wanted to find the center on one of the external walls. and you hang the tape over 150 and then brought it in 150 on the other side. there is not need for this as they cancel each other out you can just hook on next time and find the center of ya room
also investing in a brickie tape instead of referring to notes of brick measurements will help you also i used to do they same thing. birckie tape saves alot of time marking out
Hey mate, I'm on an apprenticeship now. Can you please share some experiences for people in their first year like me? Thank you so much!
AEG has come good i reckon
I need those notes! Could you share them?
Agreed! I've got my own but nowhere near as stacked as that one.
Great content Dave!
Id be struggling to keep if you were teaching me haha
Thankyou!
There’s a lot to take in and learn on a frame, I’ll go over a lot of the stuff with apprentices and never expect them to remember most of it. But every time we frame I’ll keep re teaching them what I know, going over the same things and after a while they’ll begin to remember everything.
I'm a fridgy but I appreciate the chippy life and I have a soft spot for it so that's why I here Dave. You make it enjoyable to watch plus I learn little tips for my reno
Surprised you guys don't use a bigger score to cut plates
18 nails per junction blocks seems a bit much I have always done 8 nails max 2 to connect the blocks together and 3 each side from studs
loved watching this
A carpenter watching carpentry in my spare time,how tragic am I 😂
Hey mate, curious who delivers your frame materials?
Bunnings maybe?
He said they were pretty straight, so I doubt they’re from Bunnings 😂
Are you in charge of the other 3? Or is there 2 in charge and 2 apprentices
I’m this video there was another qualified who was new to framing, and two apprentices.
So I was in charge of running everything on this day
How are you still liking the Boss hammer? Just ordered one
Loving it! I tried the stiletto again a few weeks ago, but I can’t go back. The boss is great
@@DaveDoesCarpentry I've had mine for a week now, best hammer I've used. I have the Martinez M4 and I've used the stiletto and I prefer the boss to both this far
Brilliant video.
How much $ for those pages of notes you have on your phone ? 😂
Thanks mate!
There’s a lot in there half completed, I’ll need to finish it and then can look into giving it out
I’ve only ever done bow up on externals…..
Do you straighten the walls afterwards? If so how do you find that process
Na man
Couldn’t pay me enough to do it lol.
Was just how I was taught. Never had anyone complain about it 😅
@@TravelingWithTom21 fair enough! As long as the bows face the same way it isn’t a huge deal! I’d rather plane the studs personally than pack them tho
Simpson strongtie powder gun. 100% rate.
They're small. Nimble. Foolproof.
Recoil like a bitch and loud as he'll.
But for 400 bucks can't go wrong
Or the MAX high pressure gun. But that'slike 5k for the full setup
This brings back a lot of memories for me and god do i ever miss it.
Mate I want to be one of your apprentice I am living in south east Melbourne
mate, every person in every industry makes mistakes.....if the client doesn't accept that you're not perfect then theyre just unreasonable
You PLUMB WALLS!? I’ve done over 300 hebel homes, and the walls are never plumbed. My installers plumbs the walls so much on every single job whilst the boys in other states don’t.
wtf
You may be a carpenter.. but you are no framer lol
Take me as ur apprentice pls🫡🫡🫡
