In my experience the wood will slowly take on the shape its given. Ive done similair things to crooked beams. And when removed after an extended period of time they keep the shape. So I dont see this as an issue. I'd rather have straight beams.
Looks great on paper and visually but not good for the longterm rigidity. I dont know much about engineering but i do know this can cause stress in the internal stucture
yea with screws there’s a higher chance of it breaking because they don’t have as much give as nails, nails can bend and are a lot more giving with movement
The screws he’s using are construction screws which can be used in framing/structural applications. What he is doing is ok, wood is a natural material so it never comes in a perfect shape. It is usually bowed so methods such as this are used when you need to straighten them out. While the wood may be under tension right now, it will eventually take on the new shape the pressure is shaping it into.
Regardless of how you build a house, if the frame is wood then creaking, changing of pressure load etc is bound to happen. Wood contracts and expands due to temperature all the time, different woods have different results, but wood is wood. It can bend, twist, warp at any time so him doing is actually required to tightly seal the house off.
@@tompugh388 you have never worked in construction I can tell. lumber is not perfect, not even the trusses that come from the truss manufacture.

Never but never use screws on part of the structure, always nails. Screws have a high tensile strength but brakes under stress load and movement but nails will bend and won't shear
Without pilot holes in the front pieces how did they draw up tight? Either they have 1.5" of smooth shaft under the head, or they have that machine looking thread like composite deck screws?
Don't screws sheer under force? Are nails not better in framing because they are slightly maliable? I'm no carpenter but that's what I was told growing up.
@@3stoogesrocketry he’s not using it, when you say using a screw or nail, it means it is actively bonding something. He is lazy and leaves it there; which is NOT a good thing to do as the screw it useless. It would be better to remove it and keep it, or just replace it to use it. As he said, he’s lazy. The joke is that he just puts the screw the rest of the way in. Do that with every single pry screw on a tight space and you’ll bust the wood 😂
@@Mixwell1983 actually, I have not. At least in regards for framing like this. But that's probably just because I hale from the land of earthquakes, where the big stupid state govt requires nails in framing, so that was the only way it was done.

Old tricks us framers have knew about for at least 30 years on my end and a older carpenter showed me that nothing new here only your skills, but to fix just put a nail in top pull up with claw hammer and nail adding board is overkill, also that's not traditional framing that's going side to side should be no problem to add about 5 pounds of pressure pull up and nail it you kids got alot to learn. Framing barn style or metal building not traditional Framing of a house, ive worked for myself for 25 years and studied under a master carpenter so I am right and any carpenter that's a carpenter will agree
Yea, A lot of deformities and sh**ty cuts. I actually stay away from home depot now, their selection over the years has plummeted (at least in South Florida)
I believe they’re the newer structural Screws. They usually have torx heads. But they’re mad expensive compared to nails. At least where I live. Also wayyyy slower.
Because its fascia off the the purlin at the end of a truss run. They are structural grk screws and the whole house isnt done with them, they are only used in specialty situations
Alright all I’m wondering is the load over time. Is this REALLY a good idea? Like if this was something I’m machining and was supposed to last as long as a house the angle/fault would return after years

@@Rob-to4mu but he did also pre-jack it with a bunch of extra tension on the shear plane
Or maybe check out the rating of the fastener. Reading something about a new technique. I know it’s a hard concept.
No it depends on the screw, some screws are rated for shear atrength
Without pilot holes in the front pieces how did they draw up tight? Either they have 1.5" of smooth shaft under the head, or they have that machine looking thread like composite deck screws?
That’s a sexy looking impact what brand is that ?
Intentional fortitude! Character! He is not correcting his mistake he is covering the mistake up!!!
Intentional or intestinal
smooth as butter
Are you allowed to use screws when framing, I have never seen that get passed on a inspection. because screws break in an earthquake and nails bend.
will this happen, even if measurements are as precise as possible, like just flaws in materials or the tools used for measurements?
yep that's the technique use it all day building pole barns
Bang a Hanmer up wards !! Good job
We can tell by your nails you don’t do construction
Don't screws sheer under force? Are nails not better in framing because they are slightly maliable? I'm no carpenter but that's what I was told growing up.
Com as ferramentas corretas até parece ser a coisa mais fácil a se fazer
I love screws in shear. It's my favorite.
My first thoughts exactly. Well played.
Stupid impact driver pos
Easier to use a pipe clamp.
Things are always easier when you know the tricks!
Quick question. Why not put the top screw in first and pull up from there. Why all the extra resources
I never reuse the pry screw, I’m usually lazy and send it the rest of the way.
but your still using it .....otherwise you would unscrew it and toss it
@@3stoogesrocketry he’s not using it,
when you say using a screw or nail, it means it is actively bonding something.
He is lazy and leaves it there; which is NOT a good thing to do as the screw it useless.
It would be better to remove it and keep it, or just replace it to use it. As he said, he’s lazy. The joke is that he just puts the screw the rest of the way in.
Do that with every single pry screw on a tight space and you’ll bust the wood 😂
@@blizzthebike u need a job. Id bet my life u are on welfare spending tax dollars u dont deserve.
Hope you added some nails, screws are good up until they snap. That's why earthquake code requires nails
Ever heard of structural screws?
@@Mixwell1983 actually, I have not. At least in regards for framing like this. But that's probably just because I hale from the land of earthquakes, where the big stupid state govt requires nails in framing, so that was the only way it was done. But now you've piqued my interest. Please share more though!
It’s a US house, it’s not supposed to be sturdy or to last long
I would just use the wood welder
🤣
So. Amazing. Such valuable content.
I do a lot of new construction plumbing, this man makes me feel safe and confident when I’m battling death lol 😂
We all know no one’s gonna add that board in the back 😂
Man I was like ???
uh...you have to. that's the scab. it's how the connection works.
The knots almost line up perfectly!
Knot fair 😂
trying to find more than 1 straight board at Home Depot is almost impossible 🙄
I like my women like i like my HD lumber. Notty and twisted
@@tyfawver9677 🤣😎
It gets picked over by previous customers
Old tricks us framers have knew about for at least 30 years on my end and a older carpenter showed me that nothing new here only your skills, but to fix just put a nail in top pull up with claw hammer and nail adding board is overkill, also that's not traditional framing that's going side to side should be no problem to add about 5 pounds of pressure pull up and nail it you kids got alot to learn. Framing barn style or metal building not traditional Framing of a house, ive worked for myself for 25 years and studied under a master carpenter so I am right and any carpenter that's a carpenter will agree
And when did we start using screws for trusses?
Wood products have been rough this year!
Yea,
A lot of deformities and sh**ty cuts.
I actually stay away from home depot now, their selection over the years has plummeted (at least in South Florida)
The ancient pyramid builders are laughing their asses off 🤣
Who frames houses with screws?!? Nails exist for a reason.
I believe they’re the newer structural
Screws. They usually have torx heads. But they’re mad expensive compared to nails. At least where I live. Also wayyyy slower.
This isn't framing. This is correcting a misalignment.
Why is there a misalignment halfway up a diagonal? That's a good question.
Because its fascia off the the purlin at the end of a truss run. They are structural grk screws and the whole house isnt done with them, they are only used in specialty situations
How many trusses have you seen screwed together?
Muy buena latecnica saludos desde panamá👊💪👌🇵🇦🙋♂️
Surprised that nail gun wasn’t used… I’ve been told nails are better because they don’t shear they bend and screws don’t bend they break
Oh Mister George. How much you pay for the new guy? 20 dollars?! That’s too much money
Alright all I’m wondering is the load over time. Is this REALLY a good idea? Like if this was something I’m machining and was supposed to last as long as a house the angle/fault would return after years
I’ve done similar things with wood clamps.
Great trick
Just so its clear, a 10 mph wind puts more stress on every joint in your house then the stress this guy put on those 2 boards. This isnt the reason your house creaks😂
Landlord be like :You have 200 iq
You pay now. Late fee tomorro
IQ*
irony
Screws are prone to snapping under load. A few nails just incase.
Came here to see if anyone was gonna comment about the shear strength of screws compared to nails.
@@mrniseguyy8588 Nail will move with the roof “bedding” in. Surprising how easy screws snap under load.
Nice job.
Question from a noob. Are the screws strong enough to resist the shearing force?
