      I'm assuming you're not Australian and you're referring to why he's buzzing the walks instead of crippling? It's quicker and more efficient to buzz 98% of the time unless the stud is so fucked and even then its quicker to just replace it.

      @@julianwalters1994 It take about 5 seconds to buzz a bowing IN stud to straight and to pack one takes about 30 seconds which includes running the straight edge from top plate to bottom plate and marking the point it needs 1mm where it finishes needing 1mm, I run a bead of liquid nails which will adhere instantly to hold in place and removes soft sheet nail time, it also prevents the Masonite from absorbing water and curling. Now your saying cutting the stud, crippling it straight, cutting a block for either side nailing it and potentially knocking the nog out is more efficient? Come on mate, there's a reason noone does it your way.

    Mate you shouldn’t be planning internal wall frame studs. You have just made so much more work for your self. the other side of the wall will have a bow too, then you are putting on those silly packers on the other side. Crimp the stud and cleat the rest of the stud. Super easy and the right way to do it.
    Coming from a Aussie carpenter.
    Hope this helps for next time

    • @CarbideEndMill
      @CarbideEndMill 11 місяців тому +4

      Made more work? By the time you run a cut thru the stud, push it out and put in a wedge, then take the noggin out, cut and nail a cleat to the side of the stud, re-cut the noggin to fit, nail the noggin back in, not to mention your going to carry around how many sticks of pine to cut up as cleats to straighten 50 studs. Any chippy doing that on my job see ya later

    all the gear no idea, 3 battery tool systems when power was a meter away, would've spent more time setting up tools and packing away then the actual job, would've only needed max 4 tools for the day........ it baffles me that "chippies" like yourself can get out a nail gun out for a couple dozen nails when you've got a Martinez, people just don't hand nail anymore....... no dust pan brush or a saw guide or nail puller......... come on dude, that's basic first year stuff. Aussie Carpenter of 9 years.....

    • @glitch2250
      @glitch2250 11 місяців тому +2

      I disagree. Would have taken longer to pull apart a rack of nails and hand nail it back together. Much easier to grab the gun out the box click in the battery and press a button? Not to mention tripping over leads all day sucks a** . Granted, I prefer some actual power tools over battery powered.
