Brilliant stuff
Cheers buddy 👍🍻
how many times have I stuck my head on the wall to eye for twist. what a brilliant idea with the string.
Mate I used to do it all the time until I learnt the string trick !
Mate, a quick video on what you mean by using string to test for twist would be good. 👍🏾
I will do buddy deffo 👍🏻
Very good tips i didnt know about the string trick
Works a treat ! 👍🏻
I don't bother myself on a lining but on a casing I sometimes do it. Good video👍
Never seen the trick with the string line but I can't say it's any better or easier than eyeing one leg through the other to make sure they are parallel. Been doing it that way all the years I've been a carpenter which is a lot as I'm in me mid 50's
One thing I do that not a lot of others do is I make the stud openings the correct size for the lining that way I don't need any Packers, I just cut the noggins to the correct size to straighten the lining leg
Yeah that’s a great shout, what I tend to do which I haven’t seen before is make the head the correct size to the opening, that way the lining is central, then pack accordingly,
I don’t use the string line trick often, more for when I can’t sight the legs, I.e. when your working in a corridor. This was just done for the sake of the video to show people the trick.
Thanks for you comment.
4 screws and the line, good tip 👌🏻
I love it when people take something from my videos ! Thanks for the comments
Yeah that string thing is brilliant so I assume if it’s light touching then it’s perfect??
@@alexbekele8945 yeah that’s right mate, works a treat ! I don’t often I use it normally just sight the legs but you can’t always get in a position to do so.
@@alexbekele8945 pretty much
Love it very informative xxxx
Thank you babes xxxx
Great vid buddy. Another channel to add to the list of construction subs!
What are your thoughts on softwood vs MDF linings?
Cheers for the sub buddy and welcome !
Softwood linings all day lone mate, I hate the mdf ones, aswell as the mdf core doors mate ! Horrible to work with !
What size gaps do you like to leave for head and shims for the sides when building stud work for a door opening
Normally about 15mm all around, I find this gives you plenty of room to pack if needed but also dosnt leave massive gaps that need packing.
Never seen the trick with String. Currently revising for the end of my apprenticeship haha.
Great little trick mate, very handy when your not able to site the jambs ! Good luck with your exam mate !! Wish you all the best !
Old Indian taught me that trick many moons ago.
@@iainstirling1475 I love little tricks and tips like this !
What screw measures do you use (to avoid hinge and latch positions)?
I normally do 100mm down from the top, 100mm up front when bottom, then about 600mm down from the bottom and up from the top, that will generally clear 3 hinges. Hope that makes sense and helps, thanks for the comment.
@@LTWCarpentry thanks
@@tomreviews9668 anytime buddy 👍🏻
what do u look for in the string test? That the cross lines touch other?
Exactly that mate, if the lines touch then that means the legs are parallel with each other.
@@LTWCarpentry - many tks, mate. Was never taught that at college. just told to look at the outer edge and the inner edge at an angle...
That’s works great when you can, I prefere that method if I’m honest, but if your doing a frame In a narrow corridor then it’s not possible so I’ll use this method instead... thanks for your comments and support buddy !
Sorry but is this your own home. Who on earth puts door linings in before the roof is done let alone the drywall. So wrong sorry
Thank you for your comment, no this isn’t my own home, and I do and have been doing for 15 years. I like to have the linings in so the drywall can go up to the linings.
I always like to fit the lining before the walls get boarded and skimmed, on the few occasions I had to fit them afterwards it's been a right pain due to the plasterer not making sure the finish isn't the same width all the way down
@@ilijadjujic5911 agreed fitting the lining after the board is a right pain !!! Thank for you comment dude
