Really enjoyed that mate, first time ive been shown anything about framing and you taught it clearly and conscisely. thankyou for all the intel. So we got some jacks some heads some tops and bots its all buzz words lol. From the yewwws im guessing you dont mind a few frothies after some green room riding. Enjoy and may Huey smile on you.
Hi mate, just came across your channel, pretty cool and a market for this stuff on TH-cam. What's the go do you do this stuff for a living on people's properties or something? Awesome stuff, also you look young, is that young fella your son? Have subscribed and look forward to more vids 👍
hi, I'm 35 so not that young anymore, n yep my son, runs around n owns the job. N yep I'm a carpenter n just about to head around Australia so I'll be doing jobs as I go, hopefully pick up a bit in northern WA. I've got a heap more videos to come because I'm building this steel framed cabin for my dad n I've filmed a fair bit of it. thankyou for subscribing.
It depends what gauge framing you need to use and price, bluescope from Lysaghts is probably the most affordable which is what was used in my video but the nog system is slow and crap, unless you used bottom track instead of nog track for the nogs which I would do next time. Rondo brand is probably the best quality and has an easy to use nog track but it's pricey.
This particular cabin is 3.6mtr wide outside to outside, I mean pending floor layout going anything under 3mtr wide I think would feel fairly narrow. On small builds I normally spray paint it out on the ground to get a feel for sizes in reality instead of just on plans.
Awesome ! I never seen a cabin framed up with steel before, Pretty cool but probably double the cost of wood ? Do what you have to do so the bugs don't eat it :)
Yeh the termites are brutal here, and yep steel is about 25% more expensive than timber but it is what it is, and I've only got hardwood for milling and its just not viable for framing.
@@big_gypsea_lifehahahahahahahahahaha, you wouldn't like the SW!! It was double that last time I had to buy some. Was mid 'rona though, hopefully it's settled down a bit by now!!

I have always wanted to learn how to do this without having to do an adult apprenticeship. This is as close as I am going to get. Thank you.
haha no worries, just saved you 4 years lol
I’m probably never going to do anything like this. But I really enjoy watching and learning. You are a great teacher
Awesome thankyou for comment I really appreciate that and glad you enjoyed it
You explain this really well
awesome I'm glad it made sense
this was great, just subbed . cheers from Melbourne
Thanks for the sub!
Dude, love your videos. So keen to try my own build and learn from this is so helpful. Keep them teaching videos coming🤙🏼
Thanks! Will do! I'm glad you could learn a bit from them. I'm working flat out on the cabin at the moment so I'll have more helpful videos coming up.

You must be in the same part of the country I'm in cos we got termite mounds about 5ft tall. Cheers mate looks good
Geez I don't have termite mounds that big but I've definitely got alot around. I've only seen termite mounds that big in the N.T.
Fantastic, well done!
Thank you! Cheers!

@@big_gypsea_life still a pup 😁 good on you mate, look forward to more vids
Just wondering what brand of hair straightener do you use?
GHD of course lol, just kidding just how my hair is, mostly a lack of care actually.
Great vid! I'm just about to start a similar project and looking at prefab vs building a steel frame. What's your prefered brand for self assembly?

@@big_gypsea_life Awesome. Thanks for that. Working on a few different floor plans at the moment but probably around the 3x14 size.

@@big_gypsea_life Oh ok well 25% is not that bad as it will last for ever, Termites won't eat it :)
Exactly right, peace of mind is worth 25% I think
Glad you said mechano and not Lego!
haha lucky, it's been a while since I played with either so lucky I didn't get confused.
what kind of budget are you working with?
At the moment steel wall framing is around $7 L/M, but it's forever going up.
@@big_gypsea_lifehahahahahahahahahaha, you wouldn't like the SW!!
