How to Set up a Wall Plate
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 січ 2021
- In this video we see the build progressing to brickwork and blockwork up to wall plate. We have to deal wasp nest removal from the roof space in our two storey extension build. Pete demonstrates how to cut bricks by coming up with one of his famous jigs how this works when using a grinder to cut bricks. Tony and Will strip back the roof ready for Tony to then explain How to Set up a Wall Plate for a 300mm cavity wall to an existing 9" wall. He explains in detail measuring and cutting a wall plate for the top of the blockwork. He demonstrates how to cut a halving joint and how this half lap joint forms the corners of the wall plate.
TOOLS USED :
Bahco 22" Saw amzn.to/3pB4FJa
PLEASE NOTE: we’ll endeavour to answer questions and comments as soon as possible depending on our work schedules.

A nice tidy site says so much about a company 👍
Good to see Hand saws still being put to good use.
Hi Gary can’t beat the old hand saw you feel more involved but if your on a price power saw comes out with the rafter jig clamps so I can cut ten rafters at the same time all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Tony you may have just inspired me to start a UA-cam channel , not for fame and future but so I can pass on all I’ve learned over forty years and not passed on my knowledge
Good for you Jim, we need more guys like Tony and his crew showing how jobs should be done here in the UK. That's the only reason I'm doing it as I've not really finished any apprentices. Its a pretty steep learning curve making videos. I'll keep an eye out for you.
Do it Jim. If you're anywhere near as good as Tony as his team you'll have success on UA-cam 👍
Hi Jim that is awesome news if we can help in anyway please don’t hesitate to contact me, we would only be to happy to help all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Jim, great idea. Any news on the channel?
Best building company out there professionals at their best
So well explained and demonstrated! Love it. Looks like great quality timber you're using as well.
Beautiful craftsmanship with A&E Build.
Love how you just did it all by hand
Hi Shane much appreciated there is something very organic and therapeutic about doing the roof by hand and not using the power tools plus less noise only the sound of the saw cut old Jack would of loved it, sad I know but I do love it 😂 all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
@@BuildWithAE yeah I struggle with cutting straight without a guide, maybe it's my saw or technique
Hi Shane if the saw is sharp then technique, your centre of shoulder needs to be on the cutting line and try a 22” saw and just slow cut let the saw do the work only move you arm not body seen that so many times all the best Tony 👍
jesus± what a beast! lap jointing with a handsaw and with a degree of precision. bravo indeed!

Great vid Tony . New tape maybe 😉
Hi Stephen 😂 I think your right I’ll pinch Petes 😂 have a awesome weekend all the best Tony 👍
I am a bricklayer, and I always end up doing the wall plate lol, but you just give me some other tips to cut it better. Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi Craig we are glad you found the video helpful have a awesome week all the best Tony 👍
Brilliant, how accurate those half laps were with a hand saw was impressive 👍
Hi Kris much appreciated a new sharp coarse saw can’t beat it all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
@@BuildWithAE agree 👍 cheers Tony and you mate
I really enjoy these videos. I cut roofs on for a builder that, every single time, makes the extension wall plates the same height as the old 9" wall plate, even when I keep telling him to give me a shout before he gets up to plate height so I can come and set it up for him. 😣 I've said it before Tony, you've got an almost perfectly linear sawing action. (and thanks for the tip in the last video about the gasket under the joists on the Ytongs. I found the technical PDF and its as you said). 😎Cheers. Del.
Hi Del hope you are well and had a good week, Jack who trained me insisted that you had to understand your hand tools before you could work with power tools I don’t weather that was a bad thing or good 😂 all the best Tony 👍 have awesome weekend by the way loved the Safety glass
@@BuildWithAE Cheers. 😃
Brilliant
Proper chippy
Thanks dude! 👍
Nice 👍
Thanks for watching Zoltar 👍
Awesome teaching and professionalism and exactly the same job I'm doing tomorrow- if the weather allows that is! I'm building a simple gable roof but really looking forward to seeing your approach and method with the hip roof too. A great tutorial series for any budding DIY builder, thanks!
Hi Adrian much appreciated hope it all goes well for you tomorrow with the weather and work all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
How do you secure the wall plates, say if you have double birds mouth for cavity wall any tips? Great vid, tks.
Tony I'm sure we would like to see how you cut this roof out, a in depth video on how the rafters and the hip rafter
are all worked out and cut, thanks
Hi jlewis1688 it’s on it’s way all the best Tony 👍
Nice work keep on the Sandvick
Hi David Sandvick cracking saw all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE 22 inch not these half saws lol
Coming along nicely,nice weather again 😂🤣can't wait to see the end of winter🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️
Hi Anthony 😂 I know what you mean it’s trying to snow here 🥶 spring around the corner getting lighter every day now all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Meisten habe ich nicht verstanden,aber wie er mit handsäge um geht ein Meisterwerk. (made in England)
very informative, would like to see how the wall plate is attached to the wall
Hi Darren it’s on it’s way all the best Tony 👍
Smart
I watched the vid to see how they are fixed on to the wall! ?? Bolts or straps or how?
Hi I wonder if you can help me, I have to fit a wallplate to an extension. The extension has been built square but one of the existing walls that has been extended wasn't so there's a big dog leg in it. What are my options? Thanks
Nice bit of work there Pal 👍, the original fascia Board on the main house is in a bad way , looks like someone replaced it over the years and just nailed a timber to it and covered it with pvc, never cut back the rafter to allow for the overhang into the gutter, it's amazing the way some of those aluminium and gutter firms do work like that and get away with it, I mean the people in the house think they are getting a great job done when they're fascia and soffit has been destroyed over the years because of the water ingress.
Hi Jim much appreciated, absolutely on the nail completely rotted out the rafter feet, we did a separate video on it so people know what to look for if they are there’s done in the future all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Great channel mate, stupid question but do you need to know the pitch to do the birds mouth? Or is it one bird’s mouth fits all. Cheers
Hi Rick you need to know the pitch of the roof all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Where abouts are you guys based. Gotta job in London if your interested
Great job ! would you use anchors only to secure wall plate down or include galvanised straps too ?
We definitely use straps on every wall plate 👍🏻
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊
those walls look very straight, very plum if that word exists lol.
It's good to hand-cut every now and then but sure I'm getting a wee bit of arthritis in my hands from being old school.
I'm a chippy but for some reasons roofing has always made me light headed... your vids help a lot! much appreciated! I'm still working out how to working out how you can measure to find location where your birdsmouth needs to go :D
Hi Am AM I do hear this a lot about roofs, for me I have to break it down in my head try not to over think it keep to the golden rules both plumb cuts the same, seat cut always 90degree to the plumb cut and don’t change half way through, Dan Cox square is a cracking bit of kit and is very easy to use and make cuts from and cuts the amount of processes down plus gives you a chart, once lock down has finished I’am going to organise an event with Dan in a huge open hanger and spend a weekend showing anyone who wants to learn the process of a roof all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
@@BuildWithAE Would love to attend something like this and may even be able to offer additional advice on aspects of roofing. 👍
@@BuildWithAE Sound bit of advice, cheers. I will gladly attend that when lockdowns over! cheers mate have a good weekend.
@@thetallcarpenter please Del that would be cool
@@BuildWithAE I've messaged your media email.
Nice vid, quick question, at 6:44 are you cutting asbestos soffit there? Just shows how brittle it is when it’s pulled off snapping apart easily - it looks suspect
Hi As part of any start of site all sites are checked for asbestos all clear all the best Tony 👍
Great video. Glad I subscribed. 1 question though. You measured 3285 but only cut 3280. Why was that please?
he either forgot the original measurement or more likely just deducted 5mm so when the new wall plate butted up against the old house any lumps and bumps wouldn't push the timber past the outer edge of the blockwork!
@@Miff... Cheers Miff. He seems too much of an expert to just forget so I assumed there was a reason.
Hi Anthony it’s very true the measurements were 5mm bigger than I cut but I decided to take 5mm off for tolerance I could of left at 85mm but decided not to buy the time I climbed down the ladder I some times do that, the only time I don’t do this if it’s joinery work then there’s no tolerances all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
@@BuildWithAE thanks for info. Have a good weekend too.
Hey Tony, are you a carpenter by trade? I have learned a lot from your channel thanks 👍🏻
Hi Nathan yes I’am a Carpenter and Joiner by trade we are glad that you are enjoying the channel and learning that’s what we are trying to achieve all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Clients using A&E have made a very wise decision.
Hi coops66 much appreciated awesome clients as well all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
@@BuildWithAE credit where it's due! Can I ask what areas you cover?
@@coops6621 all over the U.K. and abroad it’s just lead times for us we only do two projects at a time all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE good to know thank you
Do you have to bed the wall plates down? Or is it just a preferred option
Hi Oliver always best to bed the wall plate all the best Tony 👍
Is there a reason why you put the wall plate on before the lintel over the window?
Hi Jake just getting ahead of the brick layers always best to be ahead of them don’t want them moaning 😂 all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE haha gotcha, they’ve got no excuse then!😂
Thought u were goni pull out a Disston for a minute there and give us all a wee tune..
Hi Stevie hope you are all well, that only comes out on special occasions funny thou I nearly did a video on sharpening an old saw but then I thought how many people would really watch it it’s a shame really we don’t use the old saws any more in fact you know what Stevie the 6t 24” will be making a come back all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
@@BuildWithAE mind and give us a tune when u get around to it.. 🎶
Great video mate! Everything ok with John? Not seen in on here for a while now!
Hi Jason much appreciated, John’s really well thanks Jason and he will be back, all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
@@BuildWithAE You too Tony!
Use 4ft level just 10 bricks down mark top at 105mm mark bottom at 105mm strike once with chalk/ pencil cut once job done. 20 cuts 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Tony more great work as usual was wondering what you used to calculate the pitch of the old roof. Keep well look forward to next video.
Hi Kevin the best way I find and taught find the straightest rafter cast your eye across them, tap a nail in the top side plane of the rafter then drop a plumb Bob line and use the bevel then this can be transferred to a off cut of 6 x 2 timber old boy used to say to me take three readings and see what the average is it’s never failed me yet, there many ways you can do this but I like the old simple way all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
@@BuildWithAE Great idea Tony, the old ways usually always work better than any of the new tools on the market today. It's such a shame there is so few people around now to pass on these skills and tips.
Hello Tony please what brick type or name did you use or model? This is the type I want but don’t know the name or model
Hi sorry to be dump but do you want the brick name ?
@@BuildWithAE yes please and thanks
You already had the outside wall built so you already had the line of your wall for the wall plate ? I'm confused ??
To get the height of the wall plate so the brickies know what height to build to.
Spot on Rich all the best Tony 👍
Old school.
Thanks for watching Lee! 👍
Good video. Would have been good if you had said that the soffit wasn’t asbestos as you just cut through it so people realise you get it tested 1st.
Hi Danny, good shout! Will remember for next time. But before any site commences, the whole property gets inspected for Asbestos as part of our HSE guidelines for sites. Take care
Tony
I find the yellow & black pencils better than the red & black ones
Hi Jimmypage1 I must confess I’am a red and black pencil guy the yellow and black wax Petes it was the company communal pencil that day 😂 all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Nice, but why wouldn’t you just strip a small section of the roof to expose the wall plate?
Hi Bradleigh you have a 9” wall and a 300mm wall
Wall plates are at different heights draw it out and you will see all the best Tony 👍
Think you need a new tape mate
Hi Harry so true all the best Tony 👍
At 6:47 wear a mask & dampen it. Wink.
No bullshit. No analyzing a turd as other channels do.
Thanks for watching Mike, take care 👍
still none the fuckin wiser what he's going on about
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@6:24 Why would you even say 245mm? you should be looking at and saying 172mm !!! Your argument about powered saw is weak..... you are two generations behind because most people use battery saws now and they take zero setup time but save hours (depending on # of cuts). @8:02 and tell me why you waste so much timber? sure make the edges true but you could easily have moved the line up 30cm - you never know when you need a piece of timber and the longer the off cut the more chance it will be useful.... Again, you are great a doing your work and your work is accurate but it could be a lot smarter and by working smarter you will save both time and money. You are in some way like a apprentice, you just need to be taught how to do things better.
