Yes this is essential. The extra grip you get from the increase in friction, as well as the added feedback you get with the increased foot sensitivity (ground slope and imperfections) really help you take your trusses to a new level.
cool - your video got 101 views already in 14 hours... I had to stop work and come here to let you know that this was helpful thanks for sharing and a good job in making all those piled up. I did laugh at your mom teaching you the 1/3 math - I thought your mom the Math she knows - oh wait, no, I taught college math - But I think if I had her number, I would make sure she buys your shoes - she is slacking as a parent.
Whats the span you’re having on these, (load wall to wall) and how far a part are you mounting each trust apart ? I’m gonna be building trusses that will span roughly 20 feet and wondering if I can build them out of 2X4
Absolutely. Mine span 28 ft. There are some loading charts out there, can't remember the max for 2x4 members but you're well within range. Typically they're spaced like rafters, with 24" OC being max, and very commonly. I spaced mine about 19" OC, to make for a stronger structure that would support attic loads. Trussed ceilings without load bearing walls underneath aren't supposed to be used as attics.
@@BagelKing-wz2zx I’m a big fan of overbuilding. An engineer once told me “anyone can make a bridge that stands. Only an engineer can make a bridge that barely stands. Don’t be an engineer. Overbuild it.”
Do you have to do it barefoot?

Interesting
you’re knots are way to big, 45 cm is the breaking point on edges.
