He was 80 years old when he shot this video. Born in May 1931, passed away in October 2011. (Just a few months after this video was posted.) RIP Larry. You certainly worked hard.
He would have lived so much longer too had he not been so careless back in his youngers day carrying chemically treated wood dripping to the touch and never using a respirator when working around all that saw dust but times where different back then. Rip Mr.Larry.
I only recently found Larry Haun's videos here on youtube, I could sit and watch for hours as he cut and nailed away a new home before my eyes, always with the kind of attitude that anyone could do it too. I'm thankful for his time on this earth, he was a skilled craftsman and a patient teacher, always giving away his knowledge to those who would like to listen. Now it's our turn to take up the mantle and carry it forward till someday we teach the next generation. Rest in peace friend.
I was so impressed by this older gentleman then to read he has passed away was so sad. suppose we all gotta go eventually, but he seemed like he had a lot of knowledge to share. thanks for capturing some of it on video for the rest of us.
+CLDproductions ' the whole series is on youtube. It shows you how to frame an entire (simple) house. Never read the book. Im sure you could find it on google. I heard him talk about his book in the videos.
From the start, Ryan was very helpful and is continuing to be helpful about his ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans . Also, they have answered all the questions I have asked & I got outstanding support from his My Shed Plans full package.
Larry is a true framing legend, he in my opinion is the best house builder I have ever seen! If these videos are up to date when they were posted then Larry left us just a few months later from this video. RIP Larry Haun.
🤣🤣. One comment says he was fifty at the time of this filming and died in 2011. Lmao, if you want the truth, search for information, don’t go off the first source you read!!!!
Bless Larry. I got a little emotional watching it. Not only was he still working in his 80s he was still teaching in videos when he could’ve easily just focused on his work. If you work for companies these days all they want is experience and nobody has time to teach you because it takes time away from Them. He had all his fulfillment. He had money, a loving family. Status. He was truly for the people.
RIP, Larry Haun. Larry was one always ready to share his wealth of knowledge and experience both in the books he wrote and in videos. Sir, with humility and deepest respect, I lift a glass to the honor of your memory.
I had bought Larry’s framing videos back in the 90s when considering a career in construction. I always enjoyed the challenge of hand nailing even when the guns arrived. So I loved the videos watching Larry and Joe work as efficiently as anyone with a nail gun. I also took in some commentary I had read about when these videos were being made. Cameramen and camera crews work very hard. I had read someone recording during the making of these videos that, Larry in his 60s, would routinely outwork the entire camera crew. They’re not building workers like this anymore.
Its good to see ya, Mr.Larry, after 30 yrs ago when you made one of the 1st video's in the country, educating apprentices and journeymen carpenters about the fine craftsmanship that can be achieved learning from you and the skill it takes to frame and build anything.
Larry is the spitting image of my father. My father was born in 1940 I was raised framing houses and my dad had suspenders and hands just like Larry. I ended up being a HVAC contractor however. Watching his videos brings me some solace as it reminds me of the good times I had with my father. I’m about to frame my new house in a few months and found these videos. I’ll have to do it on my own this time. Appreciate your parents while they are here. That generation was special. Great workmanship and understanding of the trade. RIP Larry
When I joined the carpenters union I watched all of his framing videos as part of my apprenticeship. I just rewatched them 20 yrs later and appreciate them so much much more.
WPwholesomeENT ..real carpenters use guns..hes just showing off..he even admitted guns are faster..I'm a carpenter.. you NEVER see guys hand banging..he was a great carpenter tho💯
big dicktracy (only noobs would say something like that😒) that's like saying "real drivers don't buy classic cars, they only drive brand new models" #foh
i love how easy the plans are in bigwoodworkingplans.blogspot.com/ to understand and the step-by-step videos they have. Makes getting material really easy. .
Yes but in this video you can clearly see that he has gotten older😥 Back in the old videos he used to blast a 16penny with a single hit👍 R.I.P. Human nail gun aka Larry Haun
Larry was my entire training course through my construction degree. Every day our teacher had us watch his videos for the first hour and a half session then next session we'd put what we learned into play. Guy paved the way for many I know that
I watched a bunch of his videos from when he was quite a bit younger. He's an amazing builder, and his videos are great for learning! Impressive to watch him work!
I started watching this fellow Larry. He impressed the hell out of me. Later I found he had passed. I was saddened. The only thing is that I would have liked to have met him. Not only was he great with that hammer, but I have watched some of his other videos, the man was also a marvel with a skill saw. Man could he wield that saw. Man was simply MARVELOUS. RIP Larry
This guy was clearly a legend. Much respects. Im a tradesman and stumbled upon these videos even though i dont home build, he explains this so good it makes me want to build my own home. Rip larry
all you "dissing" Larry dont know shit from shinola . I know in his younger days Larry and one more man could dry in a 1600 to 1800 one level home in two days no air tools, no fancy equipment, just worm drive saw, hammer, tape and square. And it would be built to code, it would be square, level and plumb.And very well connected... Talk is cheap I see from some of the wanna be "super framers" posted below... Back in the day,, these guys would do this day in , day out rain sine, hot or freezing.. yall "dissers" are just little puppies , and wet behind the ear.
WELL SAID. Larry Haun revolutionized an industry - the ultimate "lean process" guy, not one bit of technology necessary, just thinking every step through. I had the pleasure of meetint/talking to him at a tradeshow back when I was getting going - what an incredible workman and yes - craftsman. And the nicest guy you'd ever meet. It's hard to believe he's gone because when he was 70 he seemed like a guy in his 40s. RIP Larry and thank you @Whommee for setting the record straight for the UA-cam trolls.
Tioga Fretworks I'm a master carpenter by no means but still, this is the first I've heard of him. What I wouldn't have given to learn from him. This dude's the real deal.
I know this posting is about 7 years old, but I just gotta say this guy is one ass-kicking framer. He's nothing but awesome! He's what I'd call a real framer. Really cool of him to take the time to make the video. Guy knows his stuff.
What an inspiration! I strive to be like him. Being an Aussie the feet and inches confuse me but I can watch him all day and always learn so much. Thank you Larry. R.I.P or run your heart out 😆❤
Awesome mostly address sheds that the author has built in the past and high-quality sheds at that. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- He does have tips on specific aspects of the shed construction in each example. I get value out of this book by getting ideas on what features will work for MY sheds that I design myself. It has terrific photos, all are professional in quality. Book is quality coffee-table style--shiny, thick paper and a soft cover that is also high quality. I like it.
He shared some great tips like wearing a nail pouch around back so you don't have to staighten up to grab a nail and I like the way he used the hammers claw to pick up boards. Working without messing up his back is probably the reason he could still outpace the young guns.
My father was a home builder. I worked with him for years. This makes me think about those days. Framing walls was my favorite part of the whole build. The rest was fun but we we could frame a whole single story in one day. To go from the deck to all of the walls standing. We covered the outside walls with plywood as we stood them up also. Fun times.
Much respect, the accuracy is amazing, he actually steps back before swinging the hammer and still hits it square enough to drive it in with a single blow
Larry Hahn. Father of modern day production framing, invented sinkers and many of the tools needed, including the straight claw framing hammer that he is sinking those 16’s with. RIP Larry
Back breaking. It’s easy to see why so many framers cannot do this kind of framing, on average, much past 50 to 55 years old. But I learn lots every time I watch Larry. RIP
This my first time on here and i just luv the way this guy Larry speaks and demonstrates am a guy that luvs doing drywall and taping and painting.that pic on my profile is my sister that passed away from breast cancer when she was 17...RIP Carla Love always Neil
First time for me seeing Larry Haun. I learned a lot in this short video, things that will make my upcoming framing project go easier. And I enjoyed his humor, too. He made it look so easy, I think I could probably frame that room in about an hour ... if I were good like Larry Haun!
In black electrical contractor here in Sacramento and I really enjoy watching this man work in all his videos. He was top notch! RIP friend I never met. P.S. this man was a nailing artist!
I don't believed your race has any relevance to the rest of your comment. As a Sacramento resident myself, I specifically avoid business who market themselves specifically as black owned businesses or FUBU type businesses. Maybe cause yall make me feel like I don't belong. Idk. But it's weird how you felt the need to mention your race. Does being black help you run wire? Or does it help with estimating? Just curious why you felt the need to mention the colour of your skin and not somrthing that speaks to who you are as a person. Unless you want to be identified as a "black person" your whole life. Stop isolating yourself and society won't participate. Cheers man gooe luck with that internalized racism
When we were framing new houses, we always left the jacks studs out when we were framing the walls. It was a lot easier to cut the floor plate out with a circular saw, and put the Jack studs in later. It would also be back work we could do on a rainy day. As framers we tried to leave back work for rainy days.
man, i fucking love this dude, you can tell he has heart and is a hell of a worker, that hammer is literally an extension of him. me and my daughter just watched him drive those nails in awwe, my generation could never hang with this guy
as a carpenter of now 3 years.. i would have loved to have worked with Larry. he truly seems like the master carpenter who passes down knowledge. rest in peace.
Old school, no nail gun ,no air compressor, just his hammer n his nails, tape measure, wood, n unparalleled knowledge 🍸 barnun bar none fr fr....Legend BOYO!!!
Larry Haun rules (ruled). He made this framing vid three months before he died. Larry, with his beloved Hart California framing hammer, could spank 16d's nearly as fast as a pneumatic nailer. I love his bleeped out comment: "…all I wanna see are ass holes and elbows." Two carpenters I admire most - Larry Haun and Jimmy Carter, are, unfortunately, carps I'll never meet. Larry Haun rest in peace. You da man!
Larry could walk on a 2x4 wall like a fly, that's what some called him. He told me if you start to fall, jump inside the building, you won't get hurt as bad. Man had a sense of humor.
And apparently a few months shy of dying of lymphoma at the time this was shot. It's like Freddie mercury recording innuendo when he was about to die of aids... you could see he was a little slower than he was in his 60s, but man not by much.

His brother was right there with him, amazing to watch.

It’d slow him down.
A true legend in carpentry

Wow
snowmchristv there's no way that man was 80!
What's even more amazing is that he was born a woman: Loretta
Loretta was one of of his siblings.

Have faith in Jesus He is there for you. Do great things through Christ.❤️✝️
I’m 3 gen framer myself
I was so impressed by this older gentleman then to read he has passed away was so sad. suppose we all gotta go eventually, but he seemed like he had a lot of knowledge to share.
thanks for capturing some of it on video for the rest of us.
His name is larry haun. He has a book and dvd on framing.
Thanks Sean!
+Sean Edwards where can i find his book or dvd ? can you help ? id really like to get his book specially
+CLDproductions ' the whole series is on youtube. It shows you how to frame an entire (simple) house. Never read the book. Im sure you could find it on google. I heard him talk about his book in the videos.
Larry was a great teacher, a real asset to the construction industry. Rock n Roll has Paul Stanley, and builders have Larry Haun.
From the start, Ryan was very helpful and is continuing to be helpful about his ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans . Also, they have answered all the questions I have asked & I got outstanding support from his My Shed Plans full package.
I have been framing for 30 years and still can pick up a few tips from this great man ,thanks for posting.
If i'm framing at 80 I will be a happy man... what a great man and great framer. RIP Larry
Thank goodness he decided to make these videos, not just so we could learn, but so that we could be introduced to such a decent and talented man.
Larry is a true framing legend, he in my opinion is the best house builder I have ever seen! If these videos are up to date when they were posted then Larry left us just a few months later from this video.

Can’t get any better than this man! Years of Experience and wisdom! Will show up any young rookie any day and eat them for lunch!
I love the way Larry was holding the hammer and with one blow he will drive the nail in. A true professional he was.
Its good to see ya, Mr.Larry, after 30 yrs ago when you made one of the 1st video's in the country, educating apprentices and journeymen carpenters about the fine craftsmanship that can be achieved learning from you and the skill it takes to frame and build anything.
I have NEVER seen such an artist with a hammer. If you made an hour long video of you just driving nails, I'd watch every minute of it. Amazing.
Larry is the spitting image of my father. My father was born in 1940 I was raised framing houses and my dad had suspenders and hands just like Larry. I ended up being a HVAC contractor however.

Larry Haun is a legend! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Why haven't they made a nail gun called the "Larry Haun 16 penny driver"
Yes but in this video you can clearly see that he has gotten older😥
Back in the old videos he used to blast a 16penny with a single hit👍
R.I.P. Human nail gun aka Larry Haun
🤣😂

What an honor to watch him in videos. Thank you Father for blessing the world with him.
what a legend, what a guy. he is sorely missed.
+Simon Rose Dude is a beast!
that rare soul who spread knowledge and joy doing the thing they loved. truly a legend

Great tips. Love watching how fast Larry puts this together. Human nail gun.
fuck outta here with your product pushing
PaulOrientedotcom tip it hit it guide it bottom it
Larry was a master of his craft.
Him and his brother are actually in the Guinness record book for framing a house. Dude was a legend !
Wtf i didnt know that, im gonna go check it out
Im a big fan of larry and joe
Just like he said, framing is EASY for him! He's learned the most efficient and optimal techniques to work much smarter, not harder
As a blue collar man (construction and furniture maker - 48 y.o.) it’s such a pleasure to watch masters at work. RIP Larry!
Impressive to witness such complete mastery of a trade.
Larry was the man, he taught me everything about framing. RIP Larry, we miss you, but know your legend lives on.
This guy was clearly a legend. Much respects. Im a tradesman and stumbled upon these videos even though i dont home build, he explains this so good it makes me want to build my own home. Rip larry
Just wanted some advice on how to build my shed, didn’t realize I’d stumbled across a legend. RIP Larry
Larry is a master carpenter! Old school craftsmanship! Making it look easy!
When Larry Haun said “that’s the king stud” at 2:40, he should have pointed at himself
🤣

He was a beast. Not only could he do what you are saying, but it was effortless.
He and his brother built half the valley themselves. Made six figures a year in the 70s. Revolutionized the framing process.
That's why he drives a nail in one swing. My dad drives nails like that. He grew up without a nail gun. Why would anyone be dissing this guy?

It’s easy to see why so many framers cannot do this kind of framing, on average, much past 50 to 55 years old.
But I learn lots every time I watch Larry. RIP
Larry and his brother are on the Mount Rushmore of framers. Crazy efficient with no wasted movements

"Do everything absolutely before you do anything else" Larry Haun. Best rule I've ever learnt
First time for me seeing Larry Haun. I learned a lot in this short video, things that will make my upcoming framing project go easier. And I enjoyed his humor, too. He made it look so easy, I think I could probably frame that room in about an hour ... if I were good like Larry Haun!
Larry thank you for sharing your knowledge through these videos. It's 2019 your legend lives on and still rings true to this day.
It's a pleasure to watch such a craftsman. Amazing!

Larry was the king of Framers theres a lot of his Techniques that are used today that he pioneered long ago RIP Larry
When we were framing new houses, we always left the jacks studs out when we were framing the walls. It was a lot easier to cut the floor plate out with a circular saw, and put the Jack studs in later. It would also be back work we could do on a rainy day. As framers we tried to leave back work for rainy days.
I have nothing to learn from this or his other old videos, I just like to stop by to see larry sometimes. Great dude
I just love this man! Good example how we should all be.
I have been a carpenter since I was 10 in 1999. Larry is a legend.
larry haun inspired me to walk on walls. i love this guy.
God bless this man. Humble dude and a master at his craft. RIP.
I love this man. Learning some good stuff! ‘All we wanna see is elbows and a-holes!” Lol!
Reminds me of my grandpa and his personality when working.
Larry is the man, wish he was still around to keep the teachings going. Thanks for sharing your know-how and helping out your fellow man, good job.
Fred, he *is* still around. His videos are here for posterity, for all these young framers and carpenters to learn from the master.
I'm not going to frame anything but watching that older gentleman frame was like art. He was good at what he did. May he rest in peace.
Great carpenter. Great teacher. Great leader. Leads by example
RIP Mr. Haun...thanks for teaching generations of carpenter's
Just watching this for the first time. Larry will forever be an artist at his craft. Man can swing a hammer.
Dudes been my hero since I saw these videos in 2013. I wish I could've worked beside this man.
The man is an animal with that hammer!!!
Not too many people nowadays have that type of work ethic. Pretty amazing
I think of this man EVERYTIME I swing a hammer at work, hoping that one day I can be as good as him. He's AWESOME
+J Rod Amen!!
I’m blown away by how amazing this man was at his craft
Dude is a hammer Ninja!
By the way, If you want shirts made up of that, I screen print! lol
Gacy x yeah this guy is a true pro...who needs a nail gun? :-)
TheDaz167 he was the nail gun!
straight up .. and who don't give a fuck who knows it
Watch his videos from the 90s, even faster
Love to see working an experience guy like him. It looks so easy!
man, i fucking love this dude, you can tell he has heart and is a hell of a worker, that hammer is literally an extension of him. me and my daughter just watched him drive those nails in awwe, my generation could never hang with this guy

It was actually a dalluge hammer
Carp Notes I believe it was a delluge brand hammer
Anyone who can whack a nail into a board like that is very much a pro. Much respect.
Larry could walk on a 2x4 wall like a fly, that's what some called him. He told me if you start to fall, jump inside the building, you won't get hurt as bad. Man had a sense of humor.
This was when he was 80. Working harder than some in their 20's. Master of the craft.
And apparently a few months shy of dying of lymphoma at the time this was shot. It's like Freddie mercury recording innuendo when he was about to die of aids... you could see he was a little slower than he was in his 60s, but man not by much.
Larry Haun. Legend.
I really enjoy your videos. Short but straight to the point. Thanks! There’s always something to learn
Larry is legend

A great man past his prime, who just won't quit. Makes you feel so many things...
