you know.... i'm a master carpenter and i have to say your a very good teacher. a very relaxed logical approach to teaching...no wonder people like your videos, you remind me of my dad....
Hey Bob, I have been a carpenter for years and I gotta tell ya this video is key to success. If I am doing a small partition wall or framing a full basement or addition this is the way I have done for years. some may not care and not want to take the time to do it but I always reap the rewards of clients who are happy with straight, plumb, even walls and trim.. thanks for breakin it down for anyone on here who may wanna do a little or allot of carpentry properly

Wow bob I have 32 years of experience and every thing you said is what I do , especially the part about king studs and trimmer.s,
I do the same thing when I have a long windows, I intentionally make 2 sills and make the crowns opposite co i have less flex in the center, so simple yet so important, great job!!! your a good teacher
Thanks for the tip Bob. I'm about to finish my basement and this information will make a big difference as to the straightness of my walls.
So glad to see someone just telling it like it is. So many hacks it's good to know that someone is out there giving good advice!
I love getting these great tips from Master Carpenters ! Thanks Bob !
Nice video. Good job. Bob Vila would be proud.
Bob, I didn't fully understand the part regarding crowns for the door jams. Awesome video. 5 stars!
Thank you SO MUCH! You have no idea how long it took me to finally find a video that explains what the crown of the wood is! Very well explained. I wish your video was of higher quality because the markings on the wood were a bit hard to see.
Wow, this tip is definitely a winner!
This has been so helpful. Thank you so much for the excellent tips! :)
great videos man i am building a recording studio out of my bedroom and i wouldnt of known where to start without these vids!
Very pertinent information explained intellectually. Very well done, and thank you for that info.
Thanks obviously,I have had no formal training but have trained many new helpers over the years+++Bob
Thank you so much for your time and help im in the plastering trade I remember hearing story where most guy would not SHARE tips and tricks cause they where afraid you might take there jobs away . So thank you sir, I salute for your kind sharing, may you and your family stay safe and be well
Thank you +++Bob
Thanks for this!! Very well explained, excellent tips for things I've had trouble with as an amature . . . .
Very informative, thanks for sharing that tidbit - don't forget the walls !
thats a nice handy tip
thanks bob.
Super helpful. Thanks!
Great info for us wanna be backyard builders! Thanks.
Great tip! Building my garage on my own and looking tho frame my first wall.
I messed up and learned something. I guess I'll go ahead and sub (maybe this will be the start of something benificial). never know when I might have to build me a hiding spot, boy my wife can sure find chores for me.lol. Thanx for the videos they are much appreciated. best wishes to you and yours
@TomSawyerPainting I asked a co-worker whos work I really respected what it takes to be a master carpenter. His response was classic "Manfred" You are a master carpenter if you can do what it takes to get the job done, even if its a learn as you go process.I have'nt walked away from one yet! Thanks for watching.+++Bob
good tips. i always set aside some of the straighter studs for cabinet walls, doorways, and corners. i mark the crowns by putting a line across the 1 1/2" crowned side, one line for slight crown, two or three lines for the more extreme crowns. then lay them all out on the floor for nailing, so you can see your marks.
Terrific Video, thanks!!!
Very well put. Thanks
Thanks for the tips
!!!!!!
Thanks for the great info. I used this video as I built my twin sheds. I even made a video. Thanks
I too have had the same feedback Thanks+++Bob
thanks for the tips....
Good tip on marking!+++Bob
I agree screws always hold better than nails,in this case may be a bit of overkill,but I would have no problem doing it that way Thanks+++Bob
good tip man!
Great Tips
never heard this before, nice tip.
thanx Bob. Maybe one day you will talk about wall framing ;-)
great vids
When possible is the key phrase. I also made a video about a palm nailer which assists in toenailing for the hammer challenged.+++Bob
good reminers thanks
Good to know!
You are very welcome Merry Christmas! +++Bob
You are very welcome+++Bob
@SBha30 ,
the idea is that two crowns going in opposite directions will cancel each out at least a little and the tension created will hold the king and jack stud true.. remember wood flexes thats it's true strength.
Different technique same results +++Bob
Not sure I totally understand your comment but if what you are trying to say is you check your work with a straight edge and use a power planer to straighten bad studs. This is what I do sometimes to straighten existing walls that I stripped on one side but not necessary on walls that I build using the criteria I showed in video.I have always had consistent results===Bob
Channel not designed for people who have already honed their craft, maybe you could share some of your building tips Thanks+++Bob
Sometimes the small things can make a big difference! Thanks for watching +++Bob
@sidehop I have about 109 more of them if your interested! Lol Thanks for watching! +++Bob
I am sure you are a good "Joe" +++Bob
Into the 1 1/2 edge of 2x4 at angle to catch 2x behind it+++Bob
Forgot to mention, my reason for not liking the studs being toe nailed together to get them flush, is when people for a number of reasons, experience that nail bending, or coming through in a poor angle after hitting a knot or what have you, then you get that gap of the nail shank. ALWAYS nail things together at 90° when possible.
My wife says the same thing! lol +++Bob
@lrd9999 You can add the panel adhesive/ liquid shim and that may help but you would probably be better of if you got a power planer and a straight edge and planed the high spots prior to drywall installation. Just a suggestion. +++ Bob
I see your point,however hopefully your crowns will be somewhat similar in crown. if you get a few that are dramatically different then the others I would not use them+++Bob
@faffaflunkie Windy yes, should have used the mic=muffle Hope you found the info you could hear worthwhile+++Bob
crowned wall plate can be bent to the line, i think he mentioned that briefly
when you mention using the 16d nails, where are you hammering them from?
5:02 ... I don't get the 16 penny nails driven in at an angle to fix curved studs? Can you explain that or do a closeup or something.
If you want to nail two studs together, with opposite crowns, flush the top, nail it, flush the middle, nail it, and flush the bottom, nail it. Don't nail the top and the bottom, then deal with the middle. You'll have to fight it, as you said use a 16 penny nail and force them together. Just flush ,top, middle, bottom. NO fighting. Same way with double top plates. You flush them as you go from end to end, nailing. You don't nail each end, then deal with the middle.
hi there I have a question. There is a type of material that contracters put in the holes of concrete blocks to make them stronger and to keep out air out. What is the name of the substance used? Thanks in advance.
Awesome video. I mean like , whoda thunk?
@HomeRemodelWorkshop
I don't know when you'd ever be on your knees...or on a stepladder ... The double studs should be put together before the wall is built. One stud will be cut shorter to support the header over a door or window. These "cripples" are nailed together on sawhorses, or a stack of plywood. All uniform, all flush, starting on one end, and working your way to the other end. You wouldn't put two studs in a wall and then flush the sides. At least not in normal framing.
@OK55OK55OK Just the way I do it, A properly angled 16 seems to not be too difficult to drive wood members straight and I don't have to do it on my knees or on a step ladder, if doing it in place +++Bob
What would you suggest for my walls?
No problem, What do you excavate?+++Bob
Strangely attracted to Bob
Couple things, usually if the stud has a bow in it, you can run a saw 2/3 of the way through the stud and you can straighten it that way, or buy a pack of cardboard drywall shims. The drywall shims work well. Those two solutions work well, but its just better to start with straight lumber, or use kiln dried studs.
16d for the toenail is a bit much 99% of the time, 12d is better. And better still than toe nailing, is nailing a 12d in the 1½" side if the "lower" of the 2, and use a hammer or cats paw to lever the studs flush, thn nail them together, if you do not have a nail gun, you would want to pre-set some nails.
You simplified it very well, but your wall plates should be treated with the same consideration esp. the top ones. I know you do that, and forgot to add it to the vid.
Did you film this during a tornado?
What did you call me!!!! Just kidding. +++Bob
Bob Schmidt kinda looks like Harry Connick Jr.
@dekonfrost7 "remind me of my dad" Obviously you must be about 10. LOL +++Bob
@yanikivanov - Ya, cutting corners is much faster. I agree with Yanikivanov, it is too much work to do things the right way. /sarcasm
honestly i thought this was a joke...but i (like many people apparently) came here from msi so i see most things as a joke :D
Bob WHO????????Lol just kidding+++Bob
I got sent to this from 'Straight to Video' by MSI... Umm....
man,,, if the wood is dry.... crownor no crown wall will be straight. some of it is true but to build like this take too long
I am familiar with the insulation, however I do not believe it makes the wall stronger maybe someone else will read this and be more knowledgeable +++Bob
