I have been framing since 1976. Watching you makes my hands sweat. I have been as careful as can be, and still have had some close calls and one accident that almost took my leg. Not to mention a couple others that almost took my life, because I was tired. That's when it happens. I see that you are very confident. Don't trust your life to wood. I have had 2x6 DF snap in two under my feet. I have been trimming 2x6 tails and had one snap off at the plate line. Walking a cat walk without a stud under mid span is not wise. Don't be a hero. You should be teaching safety. You have young guys watching you. Hey, your great on your feet, better than I ever was. But your gonna die , or worse. Slow down and live. All The Best, Much Respect, an old Framer.
Unf'nbelievable, I am honestly in awe of folks that have this ability to overcome the gravitational pull of my head plowing into the earth. I was starting to feel physically sick watching this. It was like watching a movie of impending disaster, waiting for the critical moment. I would have some type of safety harness. I feel sick even using a scissor lift, so definitely not for me. The standing on the board at that pitch just too much for me. However, I have great respect for anybody that can do what is being done here. Great post, I just need to relax and get this out of my mind. Cheers folks.
This guy was giving me anxiety but I guess a lot of guys are doing this in the roofing industry to have to constantly attach and reattach means less productivity I bet they're being pressured. Or at bare minimum not being compensated to allow for safty.
Seriously though brother. I never miss stepped once doing carpentry for 8 years until I did and it was the worse single moment of my life. Takes a minute to tie off, but falling can take a lifetime away.
Truth. I never understand the "I've never had an accident" rationale. The thing about mistakes is that you never, ever think that you're going to make a mistake, until you do. It's always a little unpredictable thing that gets you. Think about every bail, every time you've tripped in your life, did you expect any of those to happen? You can have 5 million perfect steps up until your accident, but it only takes one false step to maim or kill you.
Can I say I found myself getting slightly sweaty palms watching you walk about these thin planks at what looks like a massive height. I have no idea how you do it!
Iv been working construction for 25yrs, I have no issue walking beams, but I hate watching others do it. I watched you’re video and was leaning away from the edge (kinda like when a passager hits the imaginary brake pedal;)
This book is Awesome! I love the Lean-To-Shed the most (page 98). The plan ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR is to attach it to the back of my brick house. I also like how they walk you through the many different steps of construction, which is important for the less experienced like me.
Looks like a 6 inch wall. Fairly easy to stay balanced. When i started, my journeyman made me walk the length of a 6x2 flat on the ground. i said "Easy" and walked it no problem. So he takes me up top and said "just imagine that ones flat on the ground". Takes a few months to build the confidence but when you're doing it every day you pick it up quick and realise that yeah, its just the same as one flat on the ground.
I don't run with a new construction crew but our lead carpenter came from one. We focus on home repairs, improvements and additions. We recently built a new garage and being that I'm the youngest next to the lead, we were sent up to do the roof to get things prepped for a tin roof. He was running around on the lathes and I was monkeying around the place. I tried a few times to walk it like him, but it did make my rearend tighten up. Hope I can build up that confidence one day.
Hi TheCrazyframer, I hope everything is going great with the house.. I had a friend that fell from a roof he was building just like you.. He worked with building houses for over 20 years. And had never been in a accident. Until last year when he fell from a roof without any safety gear.. I asked him what he would change in his way of working if he was able to do it again.. He told me "I would probably just use safety gear.." He is now Paralyzed, so be safe out there.
I hate wearing a harness but the simple fact is that if you do this sort of work every day, the probability that you will eventually fall once is pretty high. Everyone I know who does this sort of work has horror stories. But at the same time there's no question that the work attracts guys who thrive on the adrenaline and safety gear just kills the excitement.
It might kill the excitement and i get that because i ride motorbikes fast ones. But how excited do you think you will be when your a vegetable the 28 year old chap i know is only just starting to talk again he hasnt been able to talk to his wife or children for over 18 months. Im not a killjoy or a safety sally. I just think work isnt worth it
I want to hire him. I’ll buy him a 24 cold pack. I have a 15x25 extension foundation, I need the 3 wall and the roof. my 27x15 house really needs this extension. We sleep in my kitchen and want to add a room to have more space. He makes it look so easy I feel like doing it myself. But My husband and I are to old for the job. Now, I must say I was dizzy seeing the video but then I’m afraid of heights. This guy is my new hero. Believe me I think he really knows what he is doing. If I was younger I would be right there working with him.
Johnny Foodstamp The reason you don't understand is because you're simply ignorant to OSHA statistics on residential framing carpenter injuries, paralysis and deaths due to falls. We were all young and dumb, until a co worker is killed. Good luck.
Tyrone Pearson The cut man. Man I’m either going to be that or sitting in my pickup making sure everyone is busy. I’ll do another 5 years as a builder, but I’m trying to work my way to the guy in charge of everything . I’m 42 now. I do hurt everyday. Carpentry take a toll on the body.
@@nicenicer3142 I'm a builder. But I'm in remodeling so theres not much need for a cutter. For the last two weeks I was running electrical, this week I'm setting windows, doors after that. Next week I'm taking out an old deck and building a new one. Pretty much whatever my boss needs me to do I can do it. Just not plumbing.
Easy Nadia Comaneci! One fall ends a career; and all quality of life. My uncle was a top contractor and fell down an elevator shaft doing the same gymnastics!
No they don't because the average person doesn't know what goes into the job. Enrico please have an insurance policy for your family and keep up the GREAT work. STAY SAFE.
Whew! Makes me dizzy just watching him. I hope his insurance agent doesn't watch this, it might give him a heart attack. But I do admire the way he can "get it done".
Im watching this video to help prepare me for a general labor position. They said I'll be doing framing, I thought "picture frames" like I did in wood shop, but I'm mistaken.
Another great example of production housing. Nails that miss the board, nails that are nailed where two boards join. No wonder hurricanes and other storms win.
I was so glad to see others comment on being nervous while watching this. I thought maybe I was being a wussy or that he had equipment I couldn’t see- but I’m a rock climber and learned to always tie in (better safe than sorry) and thought maybe construction was different.
I'm good with heights but watching this stuff sent me crazy... Listen to whats so many have said and ...think...one fall is all you get buddy, bodies don't bounce !
brings back memories of my construction days... i was always the guy walking the ridge and up the edge of the rafters... still wonder how i'm still alive.
That is awesome. I learned a lot. you are very good. Please be safe it only takes 1 second to get distracted and have accident. It would be a shame to loose such a talented person.
Yeah crazy! I fell badly from just 8 feet. Broke my and fractured my jaw and skull. It hurt badly. I was off work 3 months and took ages to get strength back in the arm I broke. Lucky to be alive really as I landed on my head........
I've been framing for 20 years, and have run my framing company for 13. I use to relish in how 'crazy' we were in the first 7 years, until my first project employing and being responsible for the safety of others. There is no worse feeling than seeing someone fall due to lack of proper fall protection. The 2 seconds it takes to fall 2 stories changes you for the rest of your life. Please do yourself, your friends and your family a favor and put on the gear. Be safe brother.
Loved the attention to detail here. I feel like Im ready to build a Swiss watch! Unfortunately I told my wife I'm putting a new roof on starting tomorrow. Sooo looks like I'm off for that final pack of cigarettes bud.
He probaly has a measure tape(30 ft) or more , hammer, nailpuller, square, chalkline, pencil and marker, small level(mmaybe idk) and nails for sure for his gun 16s
John Mason-Hill a real carpenter has in his tool bags,tape measure, hammer,speed square,chalk line,chizzle, screwdriver Phillips/flat head.bullnose players,mini air sprayer,cats paw,nail punch,Adjustable wrench,random nails and screws.and beer in the cooler.
for sure canada but our lumber is pretty trashy to now i think the yellow sheathing (dens glass) is a Canadian thing its also very itchy too i hate working with it and the tyvek seems like a candian thing to since i buy big rolls of it at rona
I started in 1978 :) so I am a 40 year builder. I have fallen off several houses, ladders, had scaffolding break on me, you name it. Now I have a bad back, knees and whole body hurts sometimes :) I have seen some really bad injuries on others. Please be safe, you think you are superman now but 20 years from now you will see you are just a human :) Nice videos.
Stay safe dude , a mate of mine fell off a roof a few years ago , 50 years of age and is in a wheelchair for the rest of his days paralysed from the waist down . God Bless .
That my friend, is a work of art and you are an artist. Well done! But you need to heed all of the safety comments. I've SEEN guys fall off a roof. Career over.
I fired a guy for coming on a frame job.He wanted to tie off and wear a repel harness.I told him we didn't have time for that kind of nonsense.It was only a 12/12 my guys walk it with only a chicken board on the bottom row.The next day I fell breaking both wrist;knee cap;elbow and jaw also had to have two plates in my head. Six months later when I got back to work everyone tied off.Only by the grace of GOD AM I ALIVE.
@@DUIofPhysics I thank Dr Jordan at Metro Hospital Cleveland Ohio.for putting me back together.Plus he had to rebuilt my jaw.A carpenter in my area fell a week after I did and did not make it.
Good video. I just want to point out to people watching, not all roofs are built the same. And everyone complaining about him not tying off. When you’re a professional roofer the rule is, know your limits.
Everyone talking about the no "tie off" but I think the helmet cam's making the whole thing look more dangerous than it is. I'm more bothered by the double taps from the nail gun. The lack of spacing in between nails bugs me.
I just shit myself!!! That is really high i couldn't even concentrate on the framing of the roof i had to watch it again haha you must have some huge balls great video
You did every single piece and part exactly correct! I did this for one year when I was younger like you. Then I wised up and decided that the pay was not commensurate to the risk that I took working up to 3 stories walking a 2X4 without safety lines and I said no more! No I am a retired carpenter with all of my limbs and no permanent injuries! If you aren’t making double or triple the income of the other carpenters on the job, you are selling yourself short! You, my friend, are an awesome carpenter!!!
Pretty much, but not all of them are built the same way. This guy mostly builds with I-beams and particle boards, those are the cheapest options builders can use. Also, I don't know if the guy goes and installs the hurricane plates way later, but there are normally big straps to tie in framing and also bolts to anchor the walls to the foundation.
Bogdan Aktamakov not really up to him what materials he uses you can see the other homes are built with the same material local code probably wouldn't even let him but I agree these houses are a joke but somehow they are able to last 80-100 years well the old ones did idk about these new osb and home depot 2x4 homes probably wont even last 20 years
I was reading through the comments and saw all this "no safety stuff" and then while keep watching the video i was like... oh shhht 😂🙈👍🏼 good video, buy yea safety first, knowing how to work is knowing the importance of every aspect of the job, no matter if you know how to use those tools expertly if you end up with broken bones at the end of the day.
omg an 8ft fall! maybe he should get griptape for his shower too! and wear a helmet when playing catch! You can die getting groceries, which it seems most people in the comments are more suited to do.
I could do your job but at half the speed. Lol a 2x4 could never hold my weight especially if I was carrying a gable.Your good at your job no one would criticize you if you wore a harness.Respect from Alberta.
You have some Balls of steal and we all know it takes 1 time to rethink other methods of doing your job safe but Excellent video bro I wish I knew how to be a true carpenter like yourself.
The bottom of your framing gun has a flat surface for planing out fascia. No need to drop one tool to grab another if the first tool can serve the purpose
Mad respect, climbing all over that spindly shit WHILE leaning over the edge, WHILE adjusting a heavy ass 2x8 to nail to the outside edge. Great job! Stay safe!
This guy knows no fear. Awesome and terrifying but great framing

Yeah, reminds me of my father..
Agreed, happened to me... short grain will cost you more than a bad job...

I was worried that you weren't putting safety first, but, then, I saw in your silhouette that you had your hard hat on.
This guy was giving me anxiety but I guess a lot of guys are doing this in the roofing industry to have to constantly attach and reattach means less productivity I bet they're being pressured. Or at bare minimum not being compensated to allow for safty.
The hard hat is to hold the camera

My mom is a physical therapist and people like this keep her in business. Fall victims are among her most common patients
I always thought I wanted to be a framer but I've completely changed my mind after seeing this
honestly not as bad as it looks
I’m a framer. I wouldn’t do this shit though fuck that..
mad respect for that balance

I framed for a few years and this brings back memories. Working in the elements can be exhausting, but it looks like a nice day in this video.
He gets the job done fast before safety has a chance to come and give him a fine for not tying off.
Lealy He doesn't have to tie off if he works for himself. I called OSHA and verified that for myself.
Respect from a Chicago iron worker...mad respect and stay safe out there.. ironworkers local 63💪
Dude you have shown so much in this video where others just has video of either talking or just walking on truss. Thank you so much, safe framing. 🤙👌
I think my favorite part of your videos is reading all the comments from the Safety Police. Cracks me up every time.

hahaha so funny but true

I'm not afraid of heights...but watching this made me nervous...great vid
I am not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of falling. Wait, falling itself isn't so bad, its the sudden stop that does it.
Im watching this video to help prepare me for a general labor position. They said I'll be doing framing, I thought "picture frames" like I did in wood shop, but I'm mistaken.
EngineerPrepper Meeeee toooooo!!!
Yup, around 13:08 is crazy!
You have to watch his video - How to frame truss tails and fascia. Just wait for it!!! 🤪
You are freaking amazing! I've never seen anyone frame that quickly with such balance!
This dude made me feel like I was going to fall, then I started reading comments and see he had that affect on everybody
Palms were sweating watching him.
yea man i was getting vertigo, and i do roofs a fair bit
Its the angle of the camera
The dude is like an acrobat.
I was more nervous watching him cut the wood. One wrong cut and the roof would be ruined.
thank you for taking the time to film what you do. That's difficult work that not many people get to see to appreciate.
Skilled labor. Society has got away from it and has pushed for college with more behind the desk jobs.
Not many are able to appreciate it even after they see it.
Another great example of production housing. Nails that miss the board, nails that are nailed where two boards join. No wonder hurricanes and other storms win.
Wait are you saying the guy who made the video is to blame? Genuinely asking because I don't know
he is called the crazy framer for a reason folks !
I was so glad to see others comment on being nervous while watching this. I thought maybe I was being a wussy or that he had equipment I couldn’t see- but I’m a rock climber and learned to always tie in (better safe than sorry) and thought maybe construction was different.
You need some phillipines
Boys to help u
That would take one week in the Philippines
Great building knowledge!! They will be happy to here about that at the hospital.
This man is doing parkour and framing at the same time😩makes me feel like I can’t do anything right
OSHA would have a blast visiting that work site! Lol

lpenap a beer waiting to see his video ? Nice English
My goodness! It scares me just watching u do the measurements and as u walk along the plank of wood u nailed. I am afraid of heights :)
This guy is a thrill seeker bloody heck! Mate put on your harness you got me wobbling
i have been framing for 30 yrs and always the first truss is ALWAYS 23 5/8" NOT 24". And the more cutting off the roof
, the better. SAFER.
I feel depressed after watching you, depressed about my own ability in frame work.
brings back memories of my construction days... i was always the guy walking the ridge and up the edge of the rafters... still wonder how i'm still alive.
That is awesome. I learned a lot. you are very good. Please be safe it only takes 1 second to get distracted and have accident. It would be a shame to loose such a talented person.

Amazing stuff, stay safe bro, never get overconfident ! Best wishes
Yeah crazy! I fell badly from just 8 feet. Broke my and fractured my jaw and skull. It hurt badly. I was off work 3 months and took ages to get strength back in the arm I broke. Lucky to be alive really as I landed on my head........

That's a professional folks, he knows his shit alright, Good job, I will just have to say, " OK done ".
Watching this video gave me an involuntary retraction.
My God, that lumber is beautiful. I haven't seen straight lumber in the U.S. in 15 years.
You must be in Canada.
for sure canada but our lumber is pretty trashy to now i think the yellow sheathing (dens glass) is a Canadian thing its also very itchy too i hate working with it and the tyvek seems like a candian thing to since i buy big rolls of it at rona
All of Canada's premium lumber is shipped to the US. Dens glass is fiberglass, thats why its so itchy, and it does suck.

I started in 1978 :) so I am a 40 year builder. I have fallen off several houses, ladders, had scaffolding break on me, you name it. Now I have a bad back, knees and whole body hurts sometimes :) I have seen some really bad injuries on others. Please be safe, you think you are superman now but 20 years from now you will see you are just a human :) Nice videos.
I have no experience in this field of work. But i DIED like 12x watching this! Eek!
Stay safe dude , a mate of mine fell off a roof a few years ago , 50 years of age and is in a wheelchair for the rest of his days paralysed from the waist down .
God Bless .
Another great video and great content, thank you for showing us! Any plans for a Crazy Framer tee shirt? 👍😎🌵
That my friend, is a work of art and you are an artist. Well done! But you need to heed all of the safety comments. I've SEEN guys fall off a roof. Career over.
Well deserved beer but the safety man.
This man is bad ass. We need more like him in the field.
Hard workers yes, risk takers, no.
No drywall nailer on that bottom cord of the Gabel? It would also help to nail gable to wall
I fired a guy for coming on a frame job.He wanted to tie off and wear a repel harness.I told him we didn't have time for that kind of nonsense.It was only a 12/12 my guys walk it with only a chicken board on the bottom row.The next day I fell breaking both wrist;knee cap;elbow and jaw also had to have two plates in my head. Six months later when I got back to work everyone tied off.Only by the grace of GOD AM I ALIVE.
Two plates in your head? Sounds like you should be thanking the Doctors who saved you, not God.
@@DUIofPhysics I thank Dr Jordan at Metro Hospital Cleveland Ohio.for putting me back together.Plus he had to rebuilt my jaw.A carpenter in my area fell a week after I did and did not make it.
Serves you right for trying to make someone else treat their life with no regard. Just because you think they don't matter doesn't make it true.
Cool story bro
I understand the moral of the story, but how does anyone work their way up into a position where they terminate someone for not wearing PPE?
The years and the experience make people a professional. 👍
Good video. I just want to point out to people watching, not all roofs are built the same. And everyone complaining about him not tying off. When you’re a professional roofer the rule is, know your limits.
Whoelse besides me while watching this.. fell to the ground? 😂
Everyone talking about the no "tie off" but I think the helmet cam's making the whole thing look more dangerous than it is. I'm more bothered by the double taps from the nail gun. The lack of spacing in between nails bugs me.
If it’s worth shooting, it’s worth shooting twice.
The way this dude is just fucking walking around carelessly amazing me. Nerves of steel
I just shit myself!!! That is really high i couldn't even concentrate on the framing of the roof i had to watch it again haha you must have some huge balls great video
11:30 good to see even as a rookie (myself) we use the same terminology lol.
I thought I was watching myself for a second, till I realized I didn’t see a beer in your hand lol jk dangerous field , stay safe bro great job
Lmao
You did every single piece and part exactly correct! I did this for one year when I was younger like you. Then I wised up and decided that the pay was not commensurate to the risk that I took working up to 3 stories walking a 2X4 without safety lines and I said no more! No I am a retired carpenter with all of my limbs and no permanent injuries!
If you aren’t making double or triple the income of the other carpenters on the job, you are selling yourself short!
You, my friend, are an awesome carpenter!!!
I would like to be a carpenter, but I don’t think I could walk Like this guy. I got nervous looking at this man.
Remember to use fall protection when working 4 ft aloft and up
I wouldn’t want to be the boss that employs you and provides your insurance
Well done.one of the best carpenters on utube,thanks for enlightening the world on what it's like to be a great tradesman...
Watching this is seriously messing with my anxiety!
no wonder hurricanes rip them up so easily......
Pretty much, but not all of them are built the same way. This guy mostly builds with I-beams and particle boards, those are the cheapest options builders can use. Also, I don't know if the guy goes and installs the hurricane plates way later, but there are normally big straps to tie in framing and also bolts to anchor the walls to the foundation.
Bogdan Aktamakov not really up to him what materials he uses you can see the other homes are built with the same material local code probably wouldn't even let him but I agree these houses are a joke but somehow they are able to last 80-100 years well the old ones did idk about these new osb and home depot 2x4 homes probably wont even last 20 years
You should probably know what your talking about before saying anything bud!
Safety? “Ain’t nobody got time for that”
Jaboof 😂😂
"should be enough to hold me...yep" lmfao
I was reading through the comments and saw all this "no safety stuff" and then while keep watching the video i was like... oh shhht 😂🙈👍🏼 good video, buy yea safety first, knowing how to work is knowing the importance of every aspect of the job, no matter if you know how to use those tools expertly if you end up with broken bones at the end of the day.
You still alive buddy 👷🏽♂️ 🔨
Is it just me or does anyone else believe this guy needs a safety harness.
hmm
Yes he does
omg an 8ft fall! maybe he should get griptape for his shower too! and wear a helmet when playing catch! You can die getting groceries, which it seems most people in the comments are more suited to do.
@@benhuffington8482 what if he falls off the edge you dip shit! Hes on the second floor be more fucking considerate instead of being a fucking douche.
I am very surprised he doesn't have a safety harness.
Well if u know how to walk 2x4 walls your good but ur right harness is always the safer way
He's wearing a helmet b/c safety first.
I could do your job but at half the speed. Lol a 2x4 could never hold my weight especially if I was carrying a gable.Your good at your job no one would criticize you if you wore a harness.Respect from Alberta.
You have some Balls of steal and we all know it takes 1 time to rethink other methods of doing your job safe but Excellent video bro I wish I knew how to be a true carpenter like yourself.
The bottom of your framing gun has a flat surface for planing out fascia. No need to drop one tool to grab another if the first tool can serve the purpose
Cracks me up that he is wearing a hardhat. Mad skills. He has a new subscriber.
I’m only wearing the hard hat to hold my go pro. Thanks for subscribing.
No worries, just poking the safety hawks.
He sure is a crazy framer!!! He’s like a squirrel
Mad respect, climbing all over that spindly shit WHILE leaning over the edge, WHILE adjusting a heavy ass 2x8 to nail to the outside edge. Great job! Stay safe!
