We usually get lay down trusses for that application

"Any kind of Stupidness " ??? As he defeats the sawblade guard with a wood shim ?!? 😖

I get mocked for the Lord giving me a gift of buildability; math; calculations 😮!😅

Wait CC has a TH-cam channel now? Thank god.

Vaughan 23 oz California Framer isn’t the best for form work carpentry, barely sinks in the 4inch nails!

I'm old-school I don't use a speed square or calculator. If you get a framing square it tells you the number right on the square.

Those trusses should be set up to use 1 solid 2x4 to go from grdr truss to ridge/hips (flat ways w/bevel cut on grdr pitch/angle cut at hips). Your not doing it right, also takes 10x longer. If, trusses weren't set up for that, just offset 1st one than pull 2'centers from it. Most trusses are set up for that type of over framing today though.

there is nothing in framing that has not been done 30 years ago ...you are reinventing the wheel

this dumb shit shouldn't wedge the saw guard. I hope he get a great big fine for doing that..

Does that calc require monthly subscription

what did you use to record this ?

Three for me (framing hammers)....Vaughan Axe Handle CA Framer, Stiletto Hickory Axe Handle and my Estwing metal handle framer.

Looks like yall probably leave your blocking. We did it with the 25.5” 2x4s on the top temporarily until we got the roof panels up and pulled all of that rafters to the marks we made on them. I keep watching you and Tim doing stuff trying to take in what I can. Thank you for sharing.

Good job men!!!

Love truss day!!!!

Never used those before...... what's the special circumstance?

I prefer the stiletto over the Martinez. Reason being is the Martinez cannot grab the second head on a 16 duplex nail with the stiletto you can. But both are the best you can buy.

Great tip!!

Wow you got a lot of very pricey hammers. About 12-15 years ago I bought my first framing hammer it's a 22oz Stanley fat Max. the main factor for me getting this one over the other at the time was it had an overstrike steel protection plate. That seems like someone new to construction would want. A decade later I don't think it was at all necessary. Only scuffs on that plate are from the hammer loop on my bags. But I was a young man new to the trades. couple years ago I ended up snapping off one of the claws and instead of replacing it I ended up just adding a nail puller to my bags. It was another gimmicky tool (dead on) it had a wrench built into it to replace the saw blade on my skill saw. After 2 years ended up breaking off one of the claws on it. I am not swinging the hammer as often and it's not what pays my bills anymore. I am looking for a replacement hammer and I know I can still get another fat Max hammer but I figured I should look around and see what people have reviewed. That's how I found this video. I want something that is going to swing the same so I don't have to re learn how to drive a nail. I'm guessing it's like riding a bike but after a couple videos I am overthinking it now also I can't justify spending over $100 on a tool that is not going to be used that much. I find myself getting pulled towards the gimmicky features again like 3 different nail pullers extra magnets and a claw to strengthen out 2x4s. Like you said in the beginning of the review it's nothing that everyone can agree on its personal preference. Thanks for the review. I subscribed to your channel but I don't usually watch shorts and this is your only long form video. I hope you are able to get more in the future. Best of luck.

Ok, so why own $800 worth of Ti hammers if you don't use them?

Great review...everyone seems to have the opinión that the most expensive hammer is the best...lots of guys drinking the coolaid of this or that brand. I stopped using my martinez cause i like the feel of my sturnus better

There is a a reason for the slight dome face on that hammer. 40 years ago all hammers had a very slight dome face. So that if your struck a nail at a small bit of any off angle there it still delivered the almost same force a perfectly centered squared strike. at some point the bean counters decided it was cheaper, easier and faster to make a flat smooth and milled face hammer and alot of people didn't notice the slaow transtition. Especially with the move towards nail guns . I would love a Martinez M-1 to try. But I hate the 5 degree face. I bought one of the original wooden handled versions of the M-1 and after about 3 nails put it back in the box and sold it on ebay after years of setting in the garage. I have 2 of the orignal Ruger manufactured wooden handled Stilleto plus a aluminum handle version of it, before it was made in China.yes check if you don't beleive me. I bought one just to compare it and a claw broke in the first 8 months. My every day carry is the straight handled 21 oz Daluge. ( always been a straight handle user) and hammer with the heel nested in the middle of my palm I've been doing this since 1973. I started with a 28 oz Estwing that's head looked like a brick hammer. Gave me tennis elbow after 9 months and a co-worker had an extra 32 oz Vaughan and never went back to a wood handle until I was gifted with an original Ti-Bone . I wore the claws out on that one and bought a second one but by that time I had switched back to my original wood handled Stiletto manufactured by Ruger. Both Ti-Bones didn't have the side nail puller yet just the see thru head.

Thanks for posting this, thinking of getting one for my Ram.

I thought your thumb was about to fly off

Thanks for the video, the wooden stelitos are amazing. But i prefer a 22oz estwing framing... never have to replace any part. 1 piece forged steel. Its a staple in the industry for so many years.. verry well balanced and only $60 Canadian.

I'd get someone to do it properly.

Lumber seems to be way under size they have strength. I think I’d rather buy an older home them buy that crap

How come you can freehand cut with your circular saw? When I try freehanding with my Makita track saw it always jams stuck horrifically. Doesn't matter if I plunge of cut from the edge.

Agreed, i do the same most of the time..... everything has its place....

Cool I like my Miny 14

What is going on with those rafters? Learn how to build then blow 1000$ on hammers lol.

How much do you actually use the magnetic nail holder? I have never driven a nail with one. Trying to decide between two good hammers, one has the magnetic holder and one does not.

I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned the Alpaca Smacka

I thought it was Fred Durst in the thumb nail !

man, if i could grow a breed like that i would never cut it. that breed is rocking. Ooh nice hammers also !

Going to last a long time either way. I'm going for the fastest and easiest

M1 is the best.

Try this with a Blade of the Brand Leitz! 😂

It's aspenite try it on 3/4formply

Curves shouldn't be easy on a tool designed to cut straight.

Jigsaw? Nah.

More videos! I see you've got lots of shorts, but I'd like some more long form content.

I like hearing someone speak about things they’re knowledgeable about t.

I love collecting hammers, sometimes I’m torn between using them and just keeping them shiny!

Did you like your hardcore hammer ?

I have a had time imagining what the purpose of a slightly convex head would be for driving nails. BTW I'm not a carpenter but I find it interesting that there's more hammer designs today when nail-guns are the norm vs maybe the 70s when most carpenters were still using hammers.

I'm not even looking for hammer videos, but I came here just to say you have a sick ass beard. I have a long way to go before I get to where you are.

I got hit by a car so if that hammer is a truck maybe u shouldn’t get one 😂

really like the pace of the video. great content keep it up! im a stiletto 16oz curved guy myself

Love the Douglas 20 👍🏾.. I use a Ti Dalluge 16 oz now.. (identical pattern)
