- This video is a continuation of my model house project. To see the previous parts, click here: bit.ly/ryans-house
With the foundation complete, I start work on the first floor. In this episode, I begin to lat down the joists and frame out an opening for a stairway down to the basement.
Are you an expert in house construction and notice that I did something wrong? Leave a comment below! I'd love to learn something new. - Наука та технологія
You had me at the joist hangers...unreal dude!
Very nice job on the framing!
Well done, sir! I now have some binge-watching to do.
I love this! I wanted to do this myself with working plumbing and underslab wiring that actually ran on circuits and everything. Lots of tedious work like those framing straps! Very awesome!
Thank you, it's been a lot of fun!
This is great dude! Subscribed. Hope to see the project continue!
Thanks!
Iv got a lot to catch up on I see! Loving following this project :)
Thank you!
This is awesome! Thank you!
I'm glad you liked it!
Love that you made the hangers. Thats pretty dope
Thanks! They came out pretty nice looking.
@5:04-6:30 Much respect for making those floor joist hangers out of metal.
Thanks!
Love the little brackets
Joist hanger
so sick. dreams. nice hard work dude
Thanks!
Impressive detail work
Thanks!
I noticed you’re also getting better at presenting in front of the camera. Good job! Can’t wait to see the next episode. Are you going to do plumbing as well?
Thanks! Yes, I am planning on doing some plumbing, although I admit I haven't quite thought through exactly how yet. I'm really looking forward to that part though!
Creative!
Thanks!
Thats pretty badass, i like that you used nails. Real nice job.
Thanks!
And here I am struggling with lolly stick houses lol amazing job :)
Thank you! And hey, as long as you're making something cool, it doesn't matter the material!
Self made joist hangers, inventive.
Used a Japanese saw for cutting the wood. Good idea.
Video is peppy, well organized, and informative. Well done.
I hope you didn't have any breakage while using the hammer. You looked patient in hammering the pins in place. Did you have starter holes?
I personally would have swung the hammer too hard in my rush to finish.
I did not use any pilot holes, but then again, I also didn't run into any issues with wood splitting either.
Those joist hangers are great!
Nice joist hangers!!!
Thank you!
No way did you make joist hangers... bravo dude. If you could have seen the look on my face when I saw that part lol
Haha, I'm glad you liked that part!
Make a video on your model making tools and objects and please give the link of prodects
Holly crap, you made miniature joists hangers.
I did, and it was a lot of fun!
Awesome! You should make some bent and warped 2x4's just like the real ones that you find at Homedepot! hehehe
Haha, it would make it more realistic! 🙂
I would recommend some wood glue at each join. Other than that, awesome!
This is amazing!! what did you use to rip the lumber?
I talk about this in an earlier house video, but, it's all ripped down on the table saw from full size lumber!
I think it's worth mentioning what Scale/Measurements you used for your conversion from 'Real World' to Model. When i search for model house building I get 1/64 scale where 2ft = 1 inch.
I've mentioned it a decent number of times - the house is 1:12 scale! 1 foot in the real house equals an inch in my model.
For the small 2x4 is 0.15in? On a digital caliper? I’m trying make my own. Pls help thanks
Hi! A 2x4 is 1.5in by 3.5in. At least in my case, the scale is 1:12, so 1.5 / 12 = 0.125 in and 3.5 / 12 = 0.291 in. Hopefully that helps!
Subbed
Thanks!
What dimensions did you rip the the 2x6 board into? Thx
I think I mentioned it in the video but if not - a little over 1/2in by 1/8in (a 2x6 is 5.5in by 1.5in, so 5.5/12 = about 1/2 and 1.5/12 = about 1/8)
Sweet music
Thanks!
What did you use for nails
I've answered this question a few times, but I I used Dritz sequin pins: www.joann.com/dritz-steel-sequin-pins-size-8-350-pkg/1923291.html. They were the smallest pins I could find, and while they were still a little bigger than I'd have liked, they worked decently well.
Really cool project. Did you cut your 2x4, 2x6, etc., material to a width of 0.125" (1/8")? At this width it would seem really hard to use a fastener rather than glue.
Thank you! I originally began cutting each piece of timber to 1/8in, but as you suspected, I did have some issues with fastening them together on that scale. As the project progressed and I produced more batches of material, I ended up making them a bit wider - closer to 3/16in.
I see, and what size stainless steel brads/pins did you end up using?
@@PacificArc I used Dritz sequin pins: www.joann.com/dritz-steel-sequin-pins-size-8-350-pkg/1923291.html. They were the smallest pins I could find, and while they were still a little bigger than I'd have liked, they worked decently well.
@@RyanGausMakes okay thank you for sharing all the things you've learned.
@@PacificArc Anytime! If any other questions come to mind, feel free to ask.
Try a pin nailer
Hi! I did give that a shot at one point, but the pins ended up still being too large!
Wow you could show my framers a few things
Ha, thanks! Though I bet they could show me a few things too :)
Sure they can but they would be impressed with what you’re doing.
:)
Pin nailer
I thought about it, but the gauge of the "pins" in the pin nailer is still too big.
Scale modle building materials company? I would pay for those miniature joist hangers and lumber and any other materials to make my hobby more realistic.
Such a thing exists - look up mini materials! Unfortunately their prices are pretty high. At the volumes I needed things like miniature dimensional lumber, their prices are infeasible.
You have too much time on your hands. Smooth pins won't grip over time.
At least so far, none that I've noticed have worked themselves loose. But it's only been about a year - I suppose over longer time spans, it may be a problem.
@@RyanGausMakes , "maybe not "over a longer time span." I was thinking rougher usage. Sitting being admired is a mental existence. Let some little grip use it for a dollhouse. Or, carry it around in your cat for show-n-tell. Put a little side pressure on the walls and test the grip strength.
