Thank you so much for the comment. I'm starting an online beginners community in the next few weeks... which I think you would get great value from. You can check it out at the link below and join if you want. Again, haven't started it yet, so you would be the first person I tell this about. www.skool.com/traininghandsacademy/about
Something important to remember is board foot is always based on the "quarters"! If you have a board that is only 3/4 inch thick, it will still count as 1 inch thick! (4/4). Values in between the 4/4 6/4 8/4 are rounded UP to the next whole , bear that in mind!!! Otherwise you will get angry like I always did, when I was doing Width*height* thickness I had a 3/4 inch thick board so I was mulitpying by 0.75. That is not how they do it, they still consider 3/4 inch board to be 4/4. So be aware of that. So in my example you round up to 1 inch thick! So it's length* width * 1.
Thank you for such a clear and concise explanation. I've read about board feet but always found the explanation confusing. I really understand how to do the calculations now thanks to this video,.
I happen to be heading to N.H. in a day or two For a load of RGH cherry for a kitchen build. Board feet easy calculator is a great tool, Thanks, informative video!
Great work! I like using your videos as a reference as I teach high school shop. It helps for students to see and hear information in various styles! Thanks.
Yes, but the trick is to calculate the square inches correctly. In the US, many lumber yards sell wood in odd sizes, e.g. 3/4 inches in various widths and odd lengths.
Im still confused about ordering. Do you specify the width of the board? Like ofnyoy wanted a board 8' long, 6" wide, and 1" thick, how would you write this on paper as of i was goong to say it over the phone to someone at the lumber yard. Thanks
You would be asking for a 4 quarter board that is about 8' long x 6" wide. Normally when buying rough lumber you get what they have... so they may not have your exact measurements. Does that help?
@@TrainingHandsAcademy that 100% helps. Thank you so much. I get it now :). Your awesome, i appreciate the time you took to write the comment to help me

Brother John!! I can't wait to see that kitchen.
Great work! I like using your videos as a reference as I teach high school shop. It helps for students to see and hear information in various styles! Thanks.
Awesome! Thank you for using my content in that way. It is really one of the main reasons why I started YT.
Nice very nice thank you for sharing
Good information. This really confused me the first time I went to the lumber yard years ago.
I didn't know the framing square calculation! Thanks Josh.
The framing square does so much... it's crazy! Thanks for the comment David. Hope you are well.
Great video, super helpful and easy to understand,thanks for making
Thanks for commenting!
Awesome and Great.
Thanks!
Awesome.
Isn't 4x2"s idle size rafter for tropical climate area?
Thanks
You can also just convert the 7 into feet and times the 9 which will give you the same answer
Why did you start at 12 on the framing square? Is it because a board foot is 12 x 12?
It might be because of that, but the manufacture of the square instructs that that particular scale starts there. Great question. :)
About as confusing as the Imperial system. ;) So just wood volume. Just calculate square inches and divide by 144. Something easily done in your head.
