Need a calculator?

Hey Matt, you are so right about your channel, this is one of the best building show man. I have to watch it over and over to understand. Hey Matt, can you do a video how to rake wall double slope when it's not symmetrical?
When I have a nice clean subfloor to work off of I snap my rake walls to scale from my square lines that I snapped for my exterior walls so I know the rake wall will be square and I can sheath it laying down and then lift it. I can definitely use your method to increase my efficiency. Good stuff!
What should we learn about next? Stair building is coming soon! This video might be confusing to some, due to terminology used. Framing rakes is never a task a builder would expect from an apprentice, as most journeymen struggle to figure it out. Also, click the quality and watch in [4K] if you have the ability. From now on, majority of content will be in [4K] as we’ve recently upped all of our production gear. Thank you for 50,000 subscribers, this year is going to be a good one. So much coming, you guys better be ready! B A N G x O N!
MattBangsWood thanks Matt for taking the time to explain, very helpful tip, that’s why I like to watch your videos and many more carpenters , I always find new tricks. I once had to frame 2 rake walls 8/12 pitch and I had to snap lines on the floor to get it done 🤦♂️🤷🏻♂️
Snapping lines works though! I did that many many times. I love the math end of it though, watching it all come together clean and tight is a great feeling!
Laying out different shaped arches would be good. circular walls. Squaring off odd shaped foundations. Different types of stair construction,including adjusting for different finished materials on the floors. Methods for spacing of guardrail members. Barrel vaults. Should I stop or keep going.
I bought the Construction Calculator app for my iPhone and I use that on a daily basis for concrete work. I'll have to play with to do my framing that I haven't done in over 20+ years. Thanks for these tips
I would appreciate watching you do a rake wall. This way it's like hands on training. Thanks for your time. Great job on your videos. Kindness regards Cheryl.
Great video thanks a bunch came across this channel by accident my team is going to be framing a rake wall tomorrow... Can't wait to show off my new math skills to the boss
Nice video bro! Building with math is the only way to go! It’s fast and spot on every time! My construction master pro is my number one tool on the job site! I use the app because I didn’t want a calculator and a phone on me.
Hey Matt! Just thought I would mention.....if you download the construction master app on your phone.....It has a rake wall function "R/wall" on the RISE key. You set your first stud as the base length and then all you have to do is hit the rise key for each subsequent stud length.
I have the app, never use it though. For videos like these I’ll stick with calculator to show, but knowing alternatives is always nice! They have the R/Wall option on calcs too, but the problem I’ve ran into is it only calcs 16” o.c. Studs. No option for special bays.
Building my own garage. It's built into a hillside with 2 steps in the foundation. I get to build a rake wall at 3 different heights with 3 windows at 2 different elevations. This ought to be fun for a first time builder.
Different camera set up, shooting all instructional in 4K resolution on a beast of a Sony camera now. 😊 Still getting used to it, but it’s a great set up.
the new series of the Panella training videos for new recruits....Great Video. No link for the construction master calculator. Surprised your didn't have the app on the phone instead of the OG Calc!
Matt I just discovered your videos the other night and I’m blown away at your knowledge and the able to teach so well at such a young age! Love your videos keep banging them out, I have enjoyed everyone I’ve seen. I’m interested in when you got started?
We must use the calculator on our cell phones because taking out a pencil and paper to finish the problem is awesome looking. Calculators for framing is not thinking hard,expensive,and they might break. It is another thing that boggles the mind.
I don’t wanna say anything negative about your teaching because I respect your knowledge.And Im literally watching another video of you do a roof and I can’t so much because your good just try to give us some diagrams as you explain things next time but I’m subscribing good work Kidd
I was trying to figure out how to frame an opening (door or window) through the top plate of a gable end of a structure. Google suggested rake walls. This is good. Thank you.. I still would like to know if anything is every framed that intersects a traditional top plate
The framing square has its own scale called “diff in Jack rafter length on 16” and 24” space. Do u know how to do that same method for hips and valleys as well? If so maybe you could show us. Was always curious on how that’s done👍 great video
Planing to build my tiny house in a year … Want to frame it and more - learning … might have some help… Want to learn as much as I can Have you framed the tiny before and fastened it to the trailer? Any Videos. I have seen many, but love how to the point, clear, detailed enough they are. I can adapt them to the tiny, but maybe you have already done it? Would love to so the project and follow your suggestions. Make pictures videos of the journey giving you all the credit, links and all.
Do you ever frame with steel I or H beams? Seems like most of your build are very traditional style homes. I'm always Curious to see modern framing with steel beams being set and welded.
Hey Matt why don’t you set up an excel sheet to calculate everything in this for you where all you have to do is enter the rise and run in one square then it translates down the sheet to all the others then from there you just have to put in the base stud and everything gets calculated out from there by adding the new stud spacing
So I’ve seen that done, and that’s totally doable as well.. With this place, stud spacing was never 16” OC, aside from the first stud calced in this video.. So that was kind of out the window. While it would still work, being able to do it on calculator is a must for us. Those programs where you punch in info, I feel doesn’t teach you HOW to get there, just what you end up with.
Hello Matt, I will be framing a small ADU this coming week. The pitch of the roof slopes in one direction only, it does not split in the middle. The roof pitch call out is 0.25:12 how do you calculate the top plates and stud heights?? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Love the time you spend showing others.Teaching is so important, as not too many young people get into the trades and stick to it because of lack of learning.I like the math end of things, saved me time climbing and measuring.Get the math right and saves time and material.keep up the great service.
Hey Matt! I just watched one of your videos where you were talking about one of your crew members. It was the skateboarding guy which I think you said his name was Matt Fox. In that video you read a text in where someone sent you a message that he was a local legend skateboarding wise. After that video I’ve gotten very curious about that guys life and I was wondering if you could maybe do a video of him and his skateboarding days. Could you reply back to me and tell me about him if you are not able to make a video.
if the angle of your top plate is 45 degrees then every time you move 16'' to the side your stud gets 16" longer as well. If you learn a little trig all you need to know is the angle of your top plate and the distance you want to move sideways. Check out this old tony's video on sine bars if you are interested.
Everything has to land on layout with rake wall framing in our area or the sheathing on the exterior won’t work out, can’t really move it over. Explaining it with 45° or 6/12 (8” rise per 12” run) is simple, doing it with something that doesn’t work out to an even number of rise is where it gets a bit tricky for most. By knowing the angle of your top plate (pitch), and distance traveled (run), it gives you your (rise). Same calculation, different way of saying it. What video are you referencing? I’d love to check it out.
@@MattBangsWoodActually the video I referenced isn't the greatest example because its on a slightly different subject but its definitely worth the watch anyway. czcams.com/video/PO-Ab7YfBzY/video.html that fancy calculator you're using confused me the first time I watched the video because it sort of does the trig for you but now I understand it better. On a normal calculator if you set up the problem right then every time you press enter it shows you the next stud length at 16" centers for the pitch in question.
Right around minute 4:53, where you change base studs and calculate the pitch for a 16" run, once that calculation is done, you should be able to press "+" and then "=" to get the next one, and then just keep smashing "=" to get the rest of the stud lengths, right?
Matt, you mind giving us a little info on your background? I'm curious about the tats- have never been able to tell what all is goiin on except for the left knuckles, "swim". Also, where did you go to school? You got a lot more knowledge than the average 23yo carpenter. Thanks ST
I’ll make a video on it sometime, would be fun! I’ve never been arrested, never done drugs, don’t have prison tattoos.. Just love art. My grandfathers on my right arm, portrait from Coast Guards. Sailor / Traditional Style Nautical on the left. Will explain more in a later video.. I had kids with my wife at a very young age, 15. I dropped out of school and made a better living by the time I was 18 than I would have if I’d gone to college. At 23, I do pretty well for myself and my family. Just love building is all, when you love what you do, it’s easy to want to learn more. That’s pretty much how it all started.
I would recommend that you step up your game and learn TRIG. You are not using that calculator the way it was designed to be used. You could save a lot of time by using the built in functions for rake walls.
Matt, whats the one tool you use that looks like a orange mini positive position nailer with a magazine you used on the metal brackets? maybe a good idea to share some of the uncommon tools you have at the end of certain videos? i know its not in this video but thought it would get your attention the fastest. thanks bro
Pneutools is the company that patented it. It’s since been made by companies like GripRite, and others.. Can probably find it easy on www.pneutools.com/ 😊
Hi Matt, i got a question about shear walls, do you have to frame all your shear walls as a single panel? Or you can frame a 16’ wall and put a 6’ shear wall in the middle? Hope you can help me Thank you.
I got confused at the beginning when you were talking about the top plates. There's no mention to the height of the wall. Isn't that critical information needed to get that first stud?
Most of the framing I've seen they frame walls. Then frame the gable ends off the top plates. Maybe I just missed or didn't understand how you got that first stud.
I've been going through a bunch of your old vids, nice work. Question through, u guys dont use sill gasket under your treated plates. Is acoustical sealant used with poly to control air seepage. Just wondering what California code was? Thanx Matt, keep up the great work.
Unfortunately I don’t have experience in other states, but sill gasket isn’t used here. Never has been, not sure on code, but it’s never been seen or called out. I’ll ask pops’
how imperial system is dificult !!!! with the metric system we have a formula of trigonometry SOH-CAH-TOA and with that you can calcute 99% of frame work , but it's very intereting thank's a lot
Don’t understand why you aren’t doing the actual math without a carpenter’s calculator. It’s better to keep it physical in one’s mind when they use an ordinary calculator. Othe than that great video
framer from Alberta Canada hear , like watching yea bang on my sleep cycle ahahah. what I like to do is snap the pitch on a floor. so say 20ft high walls . pull 20 feet , say your 40 feet wide pull it snap your lines on a floor , find center and hight of vault from your truss snap it as a visual get yout stud hieghts that way and plates, supper simple supper fast , and foolproof . that sounds complicated literally snap a side view of your wall on the floor real life scale lol. make sense ?
Damn, why is it so much math involved. .uhhh...I like the fact that he know his stuff, but I wish he explained why you have to space things in such manner. Does it affects the shifting of the home..

Hi Matt can can you go over the calculations again in a different way, also what degrees angle of cut on the studs cheers
Hey Matt, you are so right about your channel, this is one of the best building show man. I have to watch it over and over to understand. Hey Matt, can you do a video how to rake wall double slope when it's not symmetrical?
Invaluable education, I just learned base stud run rise pitch,also the center of 2 king studs. Thanks Matt
One of the best things I learned from an old school guy is to lay everything out on the ground with a chalk line then assemble.
Old school method, some did it some didn’t.. I’ve done both ways many many times, find that the method I showed is best for me.
@@MattBangsWood DAMN RIGHT IT IS....MAKES ME LOOK...LIKE A GODDAMN PROFESSIONAL.

I learned a lot from this video, thanks man! Building my first rake wall tomorrow!
It would be awesome to see someone doing these calculations without the calculator
One of the easiest way I’ve ever see for explaining rake walls . Good job

How did you get your first stud length?
Hey Matt, can you show how calculate roof jacks on the calculator. Thank you
And this dude is better than most contractors,, he is like hgtv mike holmes....

Hello Matt, I will be framing a small ADU this coming week. The pitch of the roof slopes in one direction only, it does not split in the middle. The roof pitch call out is 0.25:12 how do you calculate the top plates and stud heights?? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.
I'm from Australia and I am very confused what you said can you please translate your length's in Millimetres
Buy I love you vides cuz keep it up ahki
excellent teaching video, I would still like to see a sit down video showing more information, really enjoy all you videos, keep up the great work.
I’ll make it happen soon!
Love the time you spend showing others.Teaching is so important, as not too many young people get into the trades and stick to it because of lack of learning.I like the math end of things, saved me time climbing and measuring.Get the math right and saves time and material.keep up the great service.
The way I was taught was to simply do a full scale lay out on the floor that will give u all your stud numbers by simply laying it out 16 oc
Is that a badgers tool belt? 😍

Hey Matt! I just watched one of your videos where you were talking about one of your crew members. It was the skateboarding guy which I think you said his name was Matt Fox. In that video you read a text in where someone sent you a message that he was a local legend skateboarding wise. After that video I’ve gotten very curious about that guys life and I was wondering if you could maybe do a video of him and his skateboarding days.

If you learn a little trig all you need to know is the angle of your top plate and the distance you want to move sideways. Check out this old tony's video on sine bars if you are interested.
also here's a pro tip. Cut your longest pieces first that way if it don't fit you can just move it to where it does
Everything has to land on layout with rake wall framing in our area or the sheathing on the exterior won’t work out, can’t really move it over.
Explaining it with 45° or 6/12 (8” rise per 12” run) is simple, doing it with something that doesn’t work out to an even number of rise is where it gets a bit tricky for most.

The thing I'd really like to see is how you guys frame a traditional gable end and 4/12 roof not using pre-built trusses.
Larry Haun has a build series from VHS days that is on CZcams where he explains how to do all of this with a framing square and a pencil

Hopefully that’s not a bad thing! 🤣 I enjoy what I do, tons of carpenters don’t, but I feel lucky to work with my hands every day..

framer from Alberta Canada hear , like watching yea bang on my sleep cycle ahahah. what I like to do is snap the pitch on a floor. so say 20ft high walls . pull 20 feet , say your 40 feet wide pull it snap your lines on a floor , find center and hight of vault from your truss snap it as a visual get yout stud hieghts that way and plates, supper simple supper fast , and foolproof . that sounds complicated literally snap a side view of your wall on the floor real life scale lol. make sense ?
What kind of calculator is that
Does this method actually work? I try it out my rake wall was the worst wall I ever seen. It looked like a wave
please only been in school two months of a five month program
Spray foam!
Matt when you laying out from each way the exterior sheathing I don’t think it work on layout
It leaves you with a center bay that winds up a bit smaller, which isn’t an issue here in the state.
How did you get your 205 1/2 ?
Base on the height of the walls in the sides..205 1/2 plus 4"1/2.. Height of the wall from the floor.
Damn he didn't link the stud site where to buy them
Hey Matt. Would like to DM you a msg. What’s the best way to get a hold of you privately?
Can someone plz tell me how did he get 205 1/4 in. for the first studs?
205-1/2” is my standard stud height.
I took that 1/4” off for the difference in plates.
205-1/4” is my first stud number.
@@MattBangsWood thanks
Still not quite understanding the entire concept like the idea for sure but defiantly do a step by step
The question is, if your calculator batteries die, can you figure out the top plate calculation? :-)
Damn, why is it so much math involved. .uhhh...I like the fact that he know his stuff, but I wish he explained why you have to space things in such manner. Does it affects the shifting of the home..
easier way to do it with out a calculator.
This is why math is so important
Math in school helps!
@@MattBangsWood definitely.
Love the channel
