Plumber using our beam saw was definitely a scare. I had an HVAC tech take my saw when I was 17, years went upstairs to cut a block.. Ran the saw across his arm and was bleeding bad running down the stairs to get to his truck.
I helped him wrap it up and he split.. I don't raise my voice often, but someone using a saw that isn't experienced scares me.
Plumbers are the absolute worst! I have yet to meet 1 cool 1
It's nice to see a crew not filled with a bunch of drama. At least not that you're showing. It's nice to work with people that get along and do work.
We got my Dad & one other dude with me here. Hard to have drama when you go to Thanksgiving with them. ☺️
Only thing we cut out is any curse words, so the channel is PG.
@@MattBangsWood Thank you because Im also showing my son (14) these videos because he wants to get into construction when hes old enough to work!!
Where’s the sill sealer?
Now I see it
I almost blinked when you did the saw flip then my eyes got bigger 😳🤟🏽🤟🏽😂😂
I’ve never dropped it, surprisingly.
Watching the framer at the end use my favorite tool A 2 x 6 as A beater. 2 x6 is work really well for removing sheetrock and demo
that's Matt's Dad. I liked hearing them talk out the problems with the layout.
You are one hard worker, Matt.
Appreciate that. Been a fun build, nice to be on a fresh slab again.
Question about why you drop your headers? I see a few people do it but to me it seems like it’d be better to keep it high just in case of a window change order is there a reason why you drop them or just habit?
SICK BACKFLIP
Hey Matt. Big fan. Been following you for a while. Caught the comment about your thumb hurting. I had an issue with my thumb and went to my chiropractor. He used the Graston Tools on me and I got instant relief.
No way! I’m so stoked to hear that. I’ll get myself in.. Normally I think back pain / neck pain when I think chiropractor. I didn’t know they could help with hands and such.
New sub here. You do great work Matt. Here in TX its blow and go, no one gives AF anymore, its a race to the bottom. I got out of framing, I mostly do remodels now, just about burnt out with construction but its all i know.. ugh. Take care, stay safe, thanks for the content.
Any chance the company you work for is hiring? Conroe/Houston area
You got soft hands buddy. I live to frame
Good day, I'm looking at your videos . I'm so proud of you and your accomplishments. I enjoy each and every one of your videos.
Great crew working laughing always makes the day better thanks
That circular saw is massive lol
Keep going bro good stuff
Bang on

Hello just found ya. looks like will be watching for a bit. Why the 4x6 posts, is it cost or ?
I could carry two of those beams and still drink a beer.
Savage!
Hey matt love watching you build, i was just wondering why you guys dont sheet before you stand the walls? And if you have tried wall jacks and your thoughts on them
I find it interesting how you use 4x6 for headers in cali.
I’ve only ever done 2x10 for lintels up here in Manitoba.
Hi, fairly new to the channel but I noticed you are using a pneumatic nailer is that still better than a cordless framing nailer?
Curius that you don't require any bottom flashing or sill seal
Cool to watch how the you frame out west compared to the Midwest. Keep up the good work
Appreciate you watching! Where you stay?
@@MattBangsWoodWisconsin about 45 minutes from the twin cities. We frame residential custom home from mid to high end houses
Hey Matt! Another great video. So interesting to see how this works. I do have a question, if you've got the time. What are the pieces of wood you put between the studs? I'd assume they are to strengthen the wall, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, what is the advantage of using 4x4s instead of 2x4s for some of the studs? Is this also just for strength, or is this a different reason? What makes your choice between the two?
Studs run top to bottom, just create the wall.
Headers are the 6x8 material that goes ABOVE the window. This is an engineers preference after calculating the roof load above.
Top cripples (little 2x6) go above the header.
The sills (create the window sill) go under the window rough opening and are just (2) 2x6.
The bottom cripples go underneath the sill to support it.
Our blocking we do at 3'6 and 4'6 and it runs horizontal. This is just to strengthen the wall. It's done with 2x6.
Any 4x6 or 6x6 that goes into the wall as a full height piece of material is just done to achieve shear values engineers want, basically.. it's a big piece of wood that we attach plywood to in order for us to not let the building fall over.
@@MattBangsWood Ah, I see. Thank you for the reply!
What’s the name of the song you used at minute 6:47? Super groovy
I would be lucky if I could carry one of those beams today but there was a time!!
Considering getting into framing at the lowest level
I have no previous experience
What’s something you’d tell a newbie
Any reason you guys don't hold the headers up to the top plate and fill in below to the top of the window height?
Whats the reasoning of solid wood headers. I live in the midwest and we just use 2 by material. Just curious
Use black chalk Matt. Don't like difference from treated to pine plate width. Do you have a issue with that?
I’m having issues with top plate material in general.. I’ve got everything from 5-1/4” to 5-1/2”, makes for a bad time framing!
Do you watch the bow in the studs as you go? Does it matter for interrior versus exterior on which way the bow of the studs go?
*crown
@12:30 Im guessing thats the problem of owners ordering their own lumber?
@29:11 as someone who previously worked in a hospital with patients. Careful how much you drink water, it can flush out vital nutrients and electrolytes that your body needs to function (yes, you can die from it, water poisoning). Have a gatorade or powerade or something that has electrolytes in it to help you stay properly hydrated and not just water!
What’s the temperature there as you’re working?
Why do the plans call for 4x6 studs in some places instead of doubling up a 2x6? Same question for the 6x6 headers? Is it a local code requirement?
Not code, just engineering preferences. This building is a weird one.. I’ll share more on this soon!
Did you check the concrete for being flat and level and cut each stud accordingly or just send it
Wouldn’t custom cut studs / stick frame unless it was off a good amount. Not a single dip visible to us, place is as flat as it gets.
Are these walls plumb and level?
Matt what was that old school nail gun that you talked about in one of your videos?
HITACHI NR83A
@@MattBangsWood thanks

Man seeing this really hurts haha. I've been trying to land a job in residential construction for about 6 months now. With no experience, no one is willing to give me a call back. I try to call into the companies I see posting on Indeed so I can talk with someone, but im always gate-kept by the receptionist! I just wanna learn the trade man, cmon! Tx NEED quality carpenters, but it seems no one is willing to train anyone anymore.
Just keep calling them back. They won't ever give you a call back unless you bug them, don't speak to a office dwelling receptionist, speak to someone that works out there, find one of their job sites and see if they'll let ya join.
I’m watching from Uk , nearly all the saws over here are blade right which makes no sense , I have a couple of blade left makita s which are much better but the other carpenters don’t like them , I guess it’s what you get used to
I seved my time in ireland using all skil blade left saws. Any time i pick up a blade right i have to pause for a second. It totally changes the way you approach the timber
I've never seen so much framing with 4x6 and 6x6 is this something new? could you elaborate
California Engineering forces this on us!

@@MattBangsWood thank you Matt!
You have a great channel
hey matt what happened to that one guy you had on your crew ? the big bearded guy lol
Steven? My cousin. He worked with us through winter, he was only here until it warmed up in Idaho so he could go back!
Whats up with the floating trimmers? Don't see that much anymore.
Floating trimmers? Broken trimmers? It’s common in CA.
👍✌
Aren't precut 9 ft studs 104 5/8 for a 9 ft 1 1/8 ceiling?
104-1/4” - don’t know why some are 5/8 and others 1/4.
Why don't you slam the headers up against the double top plate and build the window opening down from there? I almost never set my headers at height if there is a size change up and down its easy peasey to change.
My main reason is to cater to engineers who want perforated shear walls. Where we strap at the header. They rely on the header for strap to nail into..
So it’s just common practice to hold them low, although I’d like to slam and frame down.
👍👍
Top cripples are the bane of my existence.
Where is your crew?
We’re skeleton crewing.
My thumb was hurting into my wrist? Then I had this sharp pain say like just pushing a door open?
Diagnosis : there is a lining between your wrist and forearm where they meet? I blew it out and that very fine oil that lubricates that area leaked out causing pain in my thumb , wrist and just rotten pain!
Surgery made it better ?
Be careful I hv scars all over me I am a klutz !
That’s where mine is hurting.. Hmmm.. Not good to hear!
Are those guns better than the new hitachis
No, it’s a good gun, but listen to how fast my Dad’s NR83A shoots vs the gun I use. Same compressor, same hose.
The new Hitachi’s are great, just lots of safety features that make me avoid them.
@@MattBangsWoodI removed the plunder spring and push lever spring then trimmed off the plunder cover so I can shoot one handed. Easy mods to the a5.
Where’s fox
He’s been away for a while!
He’s with a local builder. ☺️
I’m trying to understand these post connections in the corners
Hold downs, structural connections. Basically using that corner 6x6 as a structural member for one or two HDU2 hold downs to attach to. It’s also where we end our shear walls.
@@MattBangsWood kinda dig it
Matt could probably perform open heart surgery with his hammer and circular saw 👍
3:33 📐
The price of gas and electricity is too high we must use Japanese hand saws and other hand saws. Also the air nailer is fast but mindless, missing placements, hard to pull out missed shots, over powering,danger ,terrifying,and the scare is counterproductive. A house is a family home, we need to build it in a peaceful,respectful,and safe looking way.
Haha, I don't see any woman doing this tiring work, and they still want equality, damn them
lmao
I'd see how far his phone flies
Who? 🤣
Do you owm the buisness
Has President Joe Biden, offered help in paying for any training, or tools, maybe tax write offs? Just wondering. St.Paul,Minnesota.
We’re not union, so I got nothing there.
Dude, just get your ass out there! I got my break by the navy training.
If you can't afford tools than find another trade.
I just did it and it’s my 2nd career ! Finish carpentry? At 50 I ate, slept, and breathed it ? Now in my 60’s I am better off! Good shape, sweat like a pig , and sleep like a baby!
No one but the Good Lord helped me!
You know the answer to that question!
Dude.. i see people sitting down with drinks on the slab and never once heard another nailgun... Where are you building that you can so OVERPRICE the work that being SLOOOOW doesnt affect the ability to get more work?
If you are NOT strong enough to hold the saw.. get somebody who can and does not whine about it. OR a real cutman could do it with a regular saw and a speed square, with out complaining. I can't have any of you soft you know whats anywhere near my job. You spent all that monay on those terrible tattoos in stead of buying yourself a pacifier.
@@thetruth6792 Your a mentally disturbed person
Well lucky for you you’re not on that job instead you’re crying on the computer probably eating chips in your mom’s basement. You must be the laborer everyone picks on at job sites 😂
