I absolutely love how chill you are when it's clear you're thoroughly annoyed. That glance back at the camera after cussing out the rain (3:30) had me laughing. I know the feeling. Way to stick it out and keep going despite the bad weather! Great video!
Thanks alot for taking time to make and share this video. Im not in construction field but gaining some knowledge in order to build my house in near future by a construction guys.
Probably as long as they are strong enough. I’ve never seen them used. Wood clamps strong enough for the concrete pressures would cost far far more than the clamps I use in this video.
Good work .. . I have a question for u. I am building a 10 ft high shed, 10 metres x 10 m. Concrete colums 10 ft apart to support the beams. For these columns, I was going to use 6 x 12 inch hollowblocks, 4 per level with 12mm reobar straight down the centre of each hollow blocks hole. So 4 rebars in total. Every layer I was going to weld a cross bar to each corner of reobar for cross strength. Alternate this for each level. The blocks will be made by myself. 30 per bag of cement, plus some additives for extra strength. Between each column ( 10ft), 6 inch hollow blocks will be laid and attached to these columns using reobar welded to the columns. Essentially, I want a finished product once it is completed, ready to paint. Trying to minimise the workload. What do u think of this idea?
I suppose it should work. Rather than Weld cross braces you could just buy ligs made to size like a normal column. They dont cost much. As long as the reo is fully cased in conc and has no access to air or moisture it should last a long time. But I'm no engineer.
@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 Thank u for your quick reply. . . Yes an engineers opinion would be better. . . But having worked with my hands all my life, u do get a sense of what works and doesnt.
Hi. Love watching your vids. quick question. Is it ok to use 1/2 OSB for 12" square formed columns, with 2x4 on the corners? OR is it recommended to use 22/23"? Thanks for any input. Rob
Well, I didn't pull out my calculator but I'm guessing 1/2 OSB would be similar to 12mm or 13mm if it exists in metric sizes and 22/22" would probably be close to 24mm. Can you help now?
I live in the USA, am longtime carpenter, cannot find a source for those clamps you are using...can you give me the proper name for them, maybe the maker? THANKS
Hi Larry, I dont know mate, we just call them column clamps and you can buy them at any formwork supplier here. Maybe get some made up and start selling them? I have noticed you guys don't use them in USA. These clamps are great and so quick.
@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 Thanks....may do that ! PS great video, I have subscribed and want to thank you for your video. It is very helpful and I expect to use your skill next summer building a home in Washington state.
Hello mate here a small replay from the Netherlands me and my wife going to build on the Fillipines. What a great video and info. The column clamps are great never seen them before. Are they selfmade or can you order them and under what name? Regards Jack
Hi Jack, we just call them column clamps. Everyone uses them here, certainly fast. I think most of them come from China, just need to make sure they are not poor quality steel I guess.
Really apprised you making this video! One question. How do you continue that collum? Like the rebar continues up the length of the collum so how is it connected?
@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 Alberta Canada, enjoying your content. Nice clean work you are doing, not wasting any time. I had a laugh out of your work attire, winter here 2/3 of the year!
Geday o'l chum. I appreciate you going to the effort to show us formwork techniques. I gotta arx but. Did you look into why, or ask anybody about the stormwater pipe that is beside the column before you cut it off at ground level so it couldn't be reconnected without being a real pain for someone? It's curious that it was left uncapped so that all manner of shite & sundry could fall down the hole? Whether good practice or not, isn't it frequent practice to include drainage within a column? It didn't impede your form, and if it were included within the column form, there would have been more than adequate cover between the pipe and the steelwork, ie ~50mm outside the ply, + 25mm ply + 40mm or so cover from steel to formwork...ie ~115mm cover. You cut it off and threw it to the shitouse without so much as a comment. Just arxking buddy....you know what you're doing but no comment was included.
haha no worries, around here the pipe runs down the side of the column, sometimes they run it so close to the column that you have to cut it off to form column as it is in way of timbers. I spoke to plumber beforehand and he had no issue with it. He was onsite before the pour.

Haha thankyou
I wish I had come across this channel when I was doing my Architecture degree. Although, there was no UA-cam back then. Cheers !!
Thabks
As a plumber, I resent the first 20 seconds of this video!😂
🫣 I did tell the plumber first.
Great videos. Love your channel.
Thankyou
Amazing video thank you
Thanks

no worries mate
Love these videos mate. Just entered my 2nd year as a formwork apprentice. Been watching these the past few weeks
Thanks
hi bro
love your way to Exploring and Explaining
Can you plz also make video about how to read the planes .thanks ❤
I should do this. Thanks for asking.
Thank you very much! amazing
Thankyou for watching
I love formwork as well. Do you have training on online for this such job. I will take it online. ❤
Haha Maybe one day. But for now this channel is the best I can offer.
Perfect, but will wood clamps work?
Probably as long as they are strong enough. I’ve never seen them used. Wood clamps strong enough for the concrete pressures would cost far far more than the clamps I use in this video.
OK thanks

Can you share the knowledge of concrete to get a good visual ? Thank you
As much cement as they will allow, small stone and as wet as you can go. Vibe the air up to the top.

Mate I have zero understanding of imperial dimensioning!

OSB é mais frágil (vai precisar reforçar mais) e nao vai te dar o mesmo acabamento no final
Hello, is this a method that can handle a 40×70 column?
Yes
Oddly enough , your manner was very entertaining. What was the type of boards you used ? I live in Japan and they didnt look familiar
hi Japan, ply sheets mate, 1800x1200x17mm film faced plywood

That is for a beam that sits on top as part of a suspended slab
Iis very important ads subtitules in the videos.
Will do
Hello, those corner fillers what are they made off? did you make them or did you buy them?
We buy them, they're plastic
@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 A link?
Nice. So straightforward. Those Timbers are they engineered lumber?
yes, lvl. strong, light but expensive. are you in Canada?
@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 Alberta Canada, enjoying your content. Nice clean work you are doing, not wasting any time. I had a laugh out of your work attire, winter here 2/3 of the year!
haha thanks
@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 What are the dimensions of this timber ?
how far you measure the column clamps apart from each other?
I usually do the first one as low as possible then about 300mm and as I get closer to the top I span further apart to about 800mm.
Yes. But plastic formwork is more easier to work with onsite and is modular #plasticformwork
Send me some and I'll make a video! 🤣

I don't see the pipes inside the columns very often. More so on larger jobs.

Wheres the concrete
Not sure
Yeah play your music even louder when you talk that's fucking smart
