Thanks for the video. Nope, talking would have been much more interesting for most occasions, but chipmunk tunes is not a reasonable. compromise

Good video. To the point

J’aimerais que tu nous montre un travail fais par dessous c’est à dire au dessus de ta tête. Au plafond

They make vinegar for weed killer. It is way stronger than store bought. It might work better.

I guess I qualify as an "engineer", and your assessment of "engineers" is 100% correct. Fyi, I'm planning a build abroad where you can't get engineered I-joists so I thought about this very method of making them...and I must have been reading your mind.

Well u just lost me with the F-- word that’s very tacky

NOT the same quality!!! A single 16' 2x4 is not the same as (2) 8' 2x4's!! I see some major issues with you doing this. First, you do not have solid lengths of anything. That is why they are engineered! Tension is a BIG part of why they are engineered!!! Now if you were somehow able to finger joint the 2x4's together along with the OSB sheets, then I'd say go for it! Since you did not, you are waiting for a disaster to happen! I think you are asking for trouble just like Stockton Rush did! it worked for a little while, then it DIDN"T! That goes for anyone who has copied your design and you could be held liable. Another thing you could have done, is to make some gussets for each side of the OSB. That would help a lot! You have at least 6 joints that can fail at any time if the glue doesn't hold or the 2x4 cracks. Now if you had also offsets the joints on every other joist, that would help a little by spreading the load away from a single line. I know a little about what I'm talking about. Designed a paper bridge in college and I think the record still stands from 2002. A bridge made from 0.48 pounds of paper, held 279 lbs. Any engineers out there? This is just my opinion. Let me know if I'm wrong.

I had problems with the hercules Hammer drill chuck it keep getting stocked and l change the drill 3 times at the end I just replace the chuck

You have sawhorses and work on the floor. If you want,, make the cradle more substantial and forget the outer tube, I listen to your schpeel on iheart and have been anxiously waiting for you to return. Thanks for showing back up!

Here is the wrap-up on the I-Joist with some thought on the process. Enjoy and thanks for all the comments. th-cam.com/video/KY99Ot6jkac/w-d-xo.html👍😎

0:09 that will be the point of failure. you should offset the 2xX ends by at least 3 times the height of the trusses (I dont know the exact math, but usually 3 something is a magic number to avoid load concentrations). or you could just offset them by half the length of the 2xX to be safe. those points have a lot less load resistance than the rest as there is like a pre broken I beam with only the middle part intact. aside from that, that does not mean that it will fails and you should repent for your actions. this only matters if the design load is really close to half the failure at those points (you still have some compression resistance in the upper 2xX butts). but offsetting them isn't hard at all, especially after how you dealt with the notching. another way to reduce the weakness of those points is bracing the lower flanges "butt joints". as said before, the upper flanges will usually work in compression and after the load squish them close, it will act mostly as a continuous piece, but the lower flange at those points are concentrating the load a those points as they have zero tension resistance (hence the usefulness of bracing them) (thanks for making the video tho, it is a lot easier to debug this things when someone has already done it xD)

Yeah, the bigger battery makes a difference !

I use them for work and they do just as well as my Dewalt and Milwaukee. Im done over paying for tools lol.

Your i-joists... two foot centers?

Thanks for making this video!

Try them out, I think Bauer is the best tools for the home, diy guy I like my Hercules tools also but Bauer is best for the price easy to use very well made and more tools in the line up.

I have Hercules tools and Bauer, I got the 71/4 circ saw for Christmas, I tried it out and hated it.the blade was on the wrong side for me and it cut out cutting a 2by 6 . I took it back without receipt and got the 61/2 saw and tire inflator which I like a lot.Not everything is great at Harbor freight but almost all my 10 Bauer and 6 Hercules tools are good for the price and I use the heck out of them.

Great idea...I am thinking of doing something very similar. Any shots after you pulled them out of the forms?

What's the cloth

Wow 😲 nice set up I am not one to knock anyone if it works for you then use it I do people sometimes say I commit sins by having. Different brands who cares I appreciate your video

I started with Ryobi six tool kit over 10 years ago and they got the job done, my second kit was ok but both batteries were junk, after buying a deal,2 battery s and get a free tool,got free jigsaw then one of the new batteries was dead....soo fuck Ryobi, I gave most tools away still have a couple but l have been buying Bauer tools and like them. Very lite circ saw and . easy to use..now Hercules got more tools in there line up l got a bunch of tools, l hated that 7 1/4 circ saw from Hercules,way to heavy and blade was on the wrong side for me,took it back and got the Hercules 6 1/2 one and its great.blade is same side as my Bauer.My kids bought me the Hercules planer it's great and the dual power shop vacuum is constantly getting used to suck up saw dust,.. wait for deals if you can but either way you will be happy with the tools

They look good. I’d love to see a side by side stress test to failure with a factory made joist.

How tall did you cut those OSB pieces? Assume each OSB section is 8’x ? 12-18”?

I have got these up now and will be adding a new video soon. PS they didn't collapse...yet

Stumbled upon your channel. Interesting videos. How did you determine your dimensions and spans? You are right, there aren’t any good videos of this subject. Want to learn something, go to the foreign channels, Americans don’t share knowledge

politely softly spoken until Bamm!!!!!!!!!

I have the Hercules circular saw with the 8ah battery. It is a very well made saw and has plenty of power. I don't miss my corded saw. I would put it up against the big brand names any day.

How realistic talking. Same here in Europa. We should have the power to do something about it. But we are not in this to organize and we stupids live on until is will be to late. And we live on from there as you say. Thanks for the lesson

thanks for a good explanation on building these, nice work Godbless

I started my collection yesterday. They seem like heavy tools. So your a floor guy? What state are you in? I have some issues with concrete floors. We want to put down laminate but have heard or been told so many things we dont know what to believe. Thanks for the Video.

Harbor freight has really taken their Hercules line way up in standards, seen many vids and they are quite comparable to the good brand names

I am a new home owner with no tools to speak of. Was gifted Kobalt 40v mower, blower, and trimmer. Happy with these so far. Was thinking about staying in that shade of blue but...this video and recent reviews of the Hercules planer might change my mind. Warrenty is a big consideration too

Great video, it was like getting to know a new friend but the one thing I can say is that Joe Biden wants us all dead so it's good to see you keep the country going....

Love your ill do it myself attitude

TJI joists typically don’t use solid wood for the tops and bottoms. They use something more akin to “Parallam” type construction. Think of plywood with all the strands running lengthwise. Why? Cause it’s stronger than solid wood and doesn’t have knots or other surprise weak spots to ruin your day.

I am on Ridgid 18V line for the drill, driver and circular saw, but I'll be buying Hercules tools in the future as my Ridgid saws are a bit underpowered. Noticed that my Ridgid table saw cuts slowly compared to my Hercules dual bevel sliding compound miter saw! BTW Home Depot markup is crazy.. pay twice or more for an inferior tool! Going Hercules next time around.. infact thinking of using the black friday discount to get into the system now and slowly just adding tools later on.

I had to make 2 of these 35 years ago because I was 2 joist short except I used a 2x4 on each side top and bottom to sandwich the osb board instead of 1- 2x4 on the bottom and staggered the joints then glued with pl400 and nailed both sides. They were 28' long free spanned and still doing the job today .

SERIOUSLY! WHAT"'S WITH THE HEADGEAR AND INSET?

I like to use the low mode on the blower for stoking charcoal fires

Potty mouth ☝️😂

Last year for Christmas my wife got me the Hercules 12 in. Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw, and I can tell you first hand, and with absolute confidence, this thing makes the DeWALT feel shame. And that's really saying something.

Think of all the money you save gj.

I've been with hercules cordless tools for a year coming from dewalt and milwaukee and it was the best decision I made

Wow very cool Mark! Thanks for sharing.

What kind of glue did you use

i built gambrel trusses out of i-joists and plywood gussets with no engineering about 20 years ago. that house is still standing! one can do this with a relatively good margin of safety if you were to test them. you just need to build a test unit or two, support the two ends above a gap, evenly load it and measure the deflection. depending on span, around L/500 will feel pretty good. it should either pass or give you an idea of what part needs to be beefed up. rinse and repeat.

'Promosm' 😜

What’s the open time on the glue?

How did you join the pieces of OSB where they butt together? Are the mfg joists made with continuous OSB vs sectioned on your joists? Curious. GregM 12:24

You nailed it. That's exactly how it is.
