Excuse me sir you're going to have to pay for all this, and you can't start building in the middle of the aisle 😂
lol
Typical UA-camrs
Excellent video Ron. I wanted it dumbed down for me to get the big picture and you nailed it.
or screwed it. Get it? cause he used screws
Everyone shopping.
Ron started building metal stud walls in the store.😅
Sir? Are you going to be paying for all that?
Love these short nuggets of knowledge!
Good job Ron
Excellent video
The biggest problem is those screws you are using to connect the studs to the top/bottom plates. When drywall is applied the screws cause the drywall to kickout so it doesn't lay flat. This is a real problem around doors and corners. Also, metal studs are a full 3 5/8in. 2 x 4's are 3 1/2in. Consequently, standard pre-hung doors frames are not wide enough to fill the opening in the steel stud framed wall for doors.
Yes in 1993 I saw some of the first steel stud homes built in SoCal. To deal with the issue you mentioned Resilient channel was attached to interior framing members. I don’t recall how door installs were handled but they built and sold 75 units. However the Home builder went back to standard construction for later phases. In those days there was a learning curve for building production homes from steel.
Great video
Good job friend
That's really surprisingly simple.
Ron is a professional. I like to wear gloves to protect skin from sharp corners and exposed screws. Let's get some more funding and material Ron!
Great Video Ron! Your the best! Have you heard about Connectubes? It is framing system using 1 1/2 galvanized rectangular steel tubes that are connected easily with steel couplers. So there is no welding. A lot of people are using it now for bbq frames and fire pits. The company sells it wholesale to the public for around the same coast as 18 gauge studs. It would be great if you can make a video with it! Best Regards.
Good short tutorial sir.
I will try it one day
Thanks
best video
Hey buddy I was wondering if you could do a video on making the dog run one that could keep the dogs from digging out as well
Are those the correct type of tin snips to use for straight cuts?
The issue we’ve run in to with these is when it comes to hanging heavy items (such as tv’s) any tips on hanging things on walls with metal studs? Is there any value in trying to find a metal stud and hang from it?
Safest option is to put in backing when framing, or open wall up and install after. I have done this for very heavy items such as wall mounted counters. For a TV, a few zip toggles into the metal studs should work. You can also install a finish piece of plywood across 2 or more studs then hang mount to that, so weight is distributed. Ply could be painted wall colour, black works well too.
Fully agree with you. Interior at best. Sorry been in the construction field for 45 years. It's meh for interior.
Wood backing
I wish Home Depot would let me make a video in their store.
Can these be drilled and riveted as well? I'm not sold on the screws for fastening.
Yes you can, however have you tried to see the integrity of the screws? They're specifically designed for this application
Did my basement using metal studs. Walls are true and in the scary event of water, the drywall can be cutout and replaced without the fear of mold on a wooden stud.
They will rust and rot away if exposed to water though. Wood just rots differently.
Are metal studs strong enough to use for cabinet framing? Like hanging doors on the metal studs?
Yes
those holes for the grommets and wires look pretty big to me.... are the studs still able to hold the weight of the building after those holes have been punched out?
Most steel studs aren't used for bearing walls, especially this application he is showing light gauge ones being sold at home center. Those are just for partitions, heavier gauge ones can bear loads, they still have the cut outs, just stronger gauge of steel.
@@chrisburns5691 thanks, good to know 👍
we use larger and heavier gauge studs on large buildings. 6, 8, 10 inch. these studs in the video are 3 5/8 inch
I don't understand how these are so strong. They look so weak.
They're for non-structural interior walls. Very popular with commercial applications because there's no saw dust and they go up very quick.
You can user certain rated ones for structural walls.
Can that kind of metal rust?
yes
can we sandwich rotten wood stud with metal? it should easier than cutting wood etc...
Way too expensive for me.
Whats the price difference?
Hammer drill is even faster. Compare to regular drill on the self-tapping screws.
negative
Not much difference than wood in terms of sturdiness, much less light gauge metal, one kick and the whole structure is ruined
Damn i thought that was George Lucas.
But was it square? 😂
Get an impact screw gun guys!
