This is a good lesson. I liked it. I've never put blocking on the bottom plate but that's a good idea. I always went 42" and down and 54" and up for wall blocking.
Guess it would be good for a DIYer, as most pros are looking to save on material. Unless you got a lot of scraps laying around (like unused cripple studs).
Larry Haun must be laughing his cotton socks off in heaven at this idea.Roofing there is only one King I would advise you watch his videos,good attempt but no prize.
@@Allegedly2right I have watched his videos. Most carpenters don't have trouble toe nailing but if you have taught high school kids you would know that most can't. This is a step to being a better at it.
@@timpalmer-logstolumber1999 If I were to be nailing furring strips together to make a project, a frame of a box, would you recommend to blunt the nails? And which nails to use? 1 1/2 by 1 1/2. Toe nailing? (For a first project idea)
Yes you can do that. The issue with toe nailing is that the nails are often not shot at the correct angle are shot to low or to high. If not nailed correctly the board may split on the end. So nailing into the spacer board may be the better choice.
Normally No. The Code requires Toenails. The Blocking is a great addition, especially when toenails are poorly installed. As a Retired Inspector, the blocking would serve as a fix to sloppy toe nailing which can often be found in Production Framing. Unfortunately. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. Never considered doing this for some reason. I will now.
This is a very helpful video thanks mate

@@Joetime90 it is also good to have 3 inches to nail into for baseboards

@@timpalmer-logstolumber1999 Good answer
What are the dimensions of these studs? 1.5''?
@@StronkDad yes they are 1 1/2 by 3 1/2

@@StronkDad blunting would help with splitting or you could use pilot holes
@@timpalmer-logstolumber1999 Thank you, no driver/drill access at the moment. Trying to decide between 10D and 12D but idk if it matters.
@@StronkDad use box nails, they are skinnier.
Can you just not toe nail the stud, instead nail it Straight into the 14.5" peice that is nailed to the bottom plate?
