A viewer request a video showing how exterior wall corners are framed. There are a few different ways to do this but I show the most common method which makes for a strong corner and also dead wood for nailing interior wall surfaces in the corner.

I use Revit and am learning the basics of framing. One of the best, most informative videos I've seen, and it helps tremendously and is so efficient to watch you do it in Sketchup ... really helped me to quickly see and understand the details of how things are laid out. Look forward to checking out your other videos. Appreciate it!
Thanks! Playing catch up trying to see what I've missed the last 6 weeks due to certain "challenges". Really appreciate this one. Used to work construction for years but been out of it a while. Got a little house/hut to rebuild this fall. Good to be reminded before I get started. Unbelievably I actually did remember this correctly. Thanks for the reminder.
Hey Tony, Thanks for explaining in detail something that many people skip over in their videos! you did a great job... Thanks again
Awesome video and the detail was amazing! Thank you for simplifying something that I've never had explained to me correctly. Your knowledge of framing and the computer go well together!
Just gained more knowledge from your inner dialogue and ramblings than I have from 3 other videos combined! I love that you're talking us through your sketch up plans and mistakes, these are all things I can absolutely envision myself doing out in the field. Glad I know better now, thank you!
Thank you much for watching and the nice comment!
Extremly helpful. I am brand new to framing and this helped clarify questions. Thank you for taking the time to walkthrough this. Stay blessed.
Thanks, let me know if you have any requests since you are new to framing, I can try to help.
I am part of a Habitat build team. I was looking for ways to maximize our time when we have volunteers on build day. Your video was helpful to me. It appears with a good set of plans, we can pre-cut most components prior to build day. So actual building is occurring while we have the men and women there to work. Thank you for providing this easy to understand information. Great Job!!!
Thank you, that explained it very well. I'll be back for other steps. About to try my first ever project from start to finish (only ever worked with crews as a helper). Building a garage on a slab for my brother. Thanks again.
this was very informative for somebody wanting to learn how to frame to possibly take a shot at it on an Owner built ADU, thanks a lot Tony for taking the time and sharing your knowledge
Thanks much!
I was trying to design something on sketchup and was confused on how this was done and u explained it really well, thank you
Sketchup master as well as well thought out framer! Enjoyed every second of this!
Outstanding- made understanding how corners are put together crystal clear.
No worries and ignore the trolls they have no life and it's very sad for them. Don't let them stop you from putting out good information. I learn a lot on you tube and appreciate your effort.
Probably one of the best videos explaining not just the how, but why. Great tutorial
Cold corners though, I frame California corners. Been through questions for over 10 years and always go back to the same thing, how do I insulate the corners….???
Best videos by far .makes it easy when you can see every angle how walls are framed. Good job i thank you
Learned a lot from your video both with framing and discovering sketchup. Good tool for designing and project planning. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the video.
Thank you!!!! I learned more about framing in this video, that the other 15 videos I previously watched. Watching you build it sketch up was excellent.
Thanks a bunch!
I appreciate you! I have a hard time learning this stuff just by reading, it's nice to see it explained as it's coming together like this!
Thank you and thanks for watching my videos :)
You're the man Tony! Thanks for sharing. Your video helped me frame my basement.
Super job. Thank you for pointing out all of the mistakes I would have made. Understanding the corners and backsetting for the sheeting would have cost me valuable time and resources on the project. Now I have to watch so many more of your videos. Good Journey Richie
Thanks! :)
3 years later, i found this video relevant to my needs. i know how to build in real life but now doing my plans in sketch up. thanks. i just need to learn what i need todo to make my units look like wood.
Thanks!
That was awesome! I'm contemplating building ad addition to my house and learning how house framing works and this was really helpful. Will be watching more. Thanks!
Thanks for the video it was just what I was looking for to understand how to tie in the corners on a wood wall. Great job!!!
Very helpful video.....answered many of my questions about framing walls, door/window openings.
Great video stumbled across this and I must say I am impressed by the detail of information provided. In addition, I will be researching sketch up software as I haven't used any CAD since my high school days and I forgot how much of an invaluable tool it can be in the explanation process. Keep up the good work. 👍
Thanks much! I also took drafting in high school but I didn't start using AutoCad until the year after I graduated but I remember it came on 12 floppy disks and was only 2d :) I have used many cad programs over the past 38 years and have settled on SketcUp because it is simple but can be used for complicated projects of you want to ad 3rd party scripts for it. They have a free version I think it's called Maker. Thanks again!
Hi Tony! I'm an Irish man looking to build in France in Timber Frame! Your videos are so helpful! Am going on some courses soon but thanks to you I think I stand a chance! I tend to see things in my head clearly but wonder how i'm gonna get it done! Even though you're doin' this stuff on Sketch up... it now makes perfect sense and answers simple questions like "How do the corners butt up together?" Thanks 4 the time you share online! Kind regards, Aodan
Thanks for leaving your comments and good luck! Send photos of projects when you are done :)
That was PERFECT and I'm intrigued by the software!
This was EXCELLENT. from an electrician who knows nothing about carpentry. I wondered myself how the walls were tied in together. And no this vid wasn't long. Great work✊
Thanks a bunch!
Very helpful for me to understand where to look for wood to install a screw eye.
Thanks :)
what a great video I've been looking for some explanation to build a 10 by 16 shed. but was also curious about where I put my J Hooks when I pour the concrete. thank you very much for taking your time sitting on your computer and mapping this out for everyone to see.
Anthony Mark thanks much!
This Was A Great Video And Thankyou! GOD BLESS You Sir For Taking Your Time To Make This And Teach.
Thank you, this video is great and helped me understand corners. You got a new subscriber!
Thanks!
Awesome job very informative video by far the best rough sketch explanation of wall framing I've seen!! You need to make more of these explaining how you anchor the exterior walls to the slab foundation weather you shoot them in with concrete nails or drill through the stud down into the concrete and use bolt anchors spacing them out every 2 ft or what have ya
Thanks! I'll try to make some more of these videos.
No' your video's are not too long '& I really appreciate the details you include showing & telling. Too many people are know it all's & know little to nothing & get upset on anyone explaining it in detail, as I already said' they are convinced they know it all. L.O.L
If people would but listen & except they don't know it all, it be a lot easier to teach.
Thanks much! :)
Great video dude. Found you from googling "standard Canadian wall frame" and your video thumbnail was the ninth one on the image tab. I was familiar with sketchup from using it to do the joinery for an old desk and really enjoyed you explaining framing using it as a great tool. Keep the great videos coming man, subscribed so I can see them.
Thanks much!
New subscriber from Vancouver Canada. Great video. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
No problem. Thank you.
Very good demonstration. Complicated made simple.
Thank you! :)
Thank you, this is what I was wondering about and how the corners tie in together.
Fantastic! I've been wanting to learn Sketchup and how to frame exterior walls. You joked around about your videos being too long and possibly spending an hour doing the whole house. Well, if you were interested in doing that very thing and had the time, I'd be delighted. I've always wanted to understand the entire process of building a house from ground up. So even a "quick" bare-bones video would be awesome. I'm really intrigued and tempted to try building a Tiny House on a trailer bed, light enough to be pulled by a Honda Pilot.
I would like this as well. His insights into housing code and strength was great.
Thank you for an amazing, awesome video. You explain everything perfectly. You got yourself a new follower
Just got my 3 car garage slab done and ready to frame. This video cleared up all the questions i had and explained very well! Thanks
Thanks and send pics and I’ll put them in a video :)
I appreciate the detailed description of the framing process you provided in this video. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Awesome video. Both building technique and sketchup lessons in one video. Planning to build a house, this will help me a lot.
Thanks much! Good luck with your project. I have fair rates for design and drawing work if you need that for your project.
Awesome video! You did a great job explaining it.
Thanks!
Rickshaw Jack Thanks much! :)
ArtisanTony i just found this video and my wife was like so cool.. She says now I need to get to work. LOL.. Brother I sent you a pm on face book. God Bless.
yankey4 I looked on Facebook. Which page did you send it on?
ArtisanTony Artisantony
Tony,Is this video, is the bottom plate a 16' (2 x4)? What would you use for a 20' x 20' building?
This was exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you for making it.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing video, so well explained for a novice like myself, well done sir
Thanks much!
ok, that was impressive, I tried to use SketchUp years ago... you obviously did not give up and it shows. thanx for posting
Thanks :)
this is a great tutorial... I am building small office in our garage, and wondering how to do a corner, this is great
Thank you for watching!
I did not ask the question but I’m grateful somebody did. Your video was perfect ... I appreciate you. I’m not a Carpenter gonna make a little shed and this video was awesome a lot of detail thank you....
Thanks, I am currently building a tiny shack/shed in the woods and have current videos on my channel.
@@ArtisanTony I’ll definitely check them out..
This is just what I was looking for!!! Excellent job and thanks for creating this video!
vern lashway thanks!
Very informative and well delivered. Corners for building and corners for video sketching tutorial
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for your video.
Fantastic use of SketchUp and fantastic tutorial! Keep up the good work! Learned lots!
Thanks much!
cool, i say, i don't mind how long the video takes but you fits most of great ideas in it. video explanation is 100%
thanks for the tutorial. i like the idea of keeping all your cut offs so maximize blocking. the only thing with that design on the corner is that it creates a cold pocket. once you attach the other wall and sheet the outside you cant put insulation in the gaps which down the road can cause mold and mildue
Do you know how many "cold pockets" are in a home? Hundreds. Do you know what the r-value of a window is? Please do not preach to me. I have been building for over 40 years and know every square inch of construction. Just research thermal images of exteriors and you will that your windows and doors are the biggest culprit.. When you solve that, come back and preach about the way we build corners.
A very informative tutorial. So well explained and easy to follow. Well done! Am following in from Papua New Guinea.
Awesome! Thank you!
Excellent video. Appreciate the clarity. Keep making these types of videos. Awesome!
Thanks a bunch!
Just what I needed to know. 👍🏻great video bro. ✌🏻️
That was a good video very informative it painted the picture for me well done
Great tutorial for beginners Tony! If it isn't asking too much... would you make a tutorial to make inside framing a 20ft shipping container? I want to convert my unit currently being used as storage into a woodshop. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
This is incredible. Great tutorial on both the software and framing!
I’m building a loft inside my garage 23’x6’ deep. Would I need a support post in the middle? And could you do a mock up of it? Please?
Just seen your vedio very professional sir keep up great work. I just subscribed will be seeing more of your vedios have a bless day.
this type of corner is probably used most often, but it is a "cold" corner, because it can't be insulated easily. The other option is a "California" corner that turns one stud 90 degrees. This still allows 3 studs in a corner, but also allows the corner to be insulated. Nice job on the video.
I know what a California corner is and it is substandard compared to this corner. It allows for very little nailing of exterior corners and siding. One window loses more energy in a house than any of the framing will. Look at the framing system as a whole. Not just one politically correct component in the system. I have been building for 40 years and this corner is the way to go. If you are anal about the insulation, foam it but do not use an inferior structural system just because you saw someone suggest it.
@@ArtisanTony I thought your answer seemed a bit touchy. I merely pointed out that there are other methods that can be used. I did not say that a California corner was superior, only that it allowed ease of insulation. I too am a builder and I have been building about the same length of time that you have. I am also an engineer. I have built on both the the East and West Coast. The building code specifies that there must be three studs in each corner and both your method and the California corner satisfy that requirement. there is not lack of strength in the California corner. The insulation ability of the California corner has more impact once you start using larger studs for exterior walls. With the Spacer block method that you showed, the uninsulated area becomes pretty large if you go to a 2x6 or sometimes now a 2x8 on the exterior walls. The California corner is not just some political correct idea. It has been in use for building since after WWII when the housing boom started in California.
I certainly appreciate your comments, it is always good to hear someone else's point of view on things. I clicked on your video because I saw Sketchup. I use it a lot too, for everything from home design to furniture design. I thought you did a great job at explaining how the parts of a house go together. I especially liked the fact that you built the wall on the floor and stood it up as we do in the real world. Thanks for the video and the reply. Good luck!
Excellent explanation with very good graphics!
Great job. Thanks for taking the time to show us.
Thanks! This was the best video on this subject I found.
Thank you! :)
For a 12 x 12 building -The front and Back walls will be 12 ft and the side walls will be 11'-5" on the left and right or you could make your floor 12'-5 on the left and right and just build all walls 12 ft and it would also work too
Amazing presentation! Very informative!
well now i know how to use sketchup much better now after watching you, that program has been driving me crazy. i was using Avanquest Architect 3D Ultimate 17
Really interesting and helpful. Thank you.
Glad to see your use of sketch-up
Thank you so much. Very well done!
Great video, best demonstration I've seen so far!
Thanks!
Great video. Thank you.
I learned a lot thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Thanks much!
Very good video. One thing that would be better if you would have told us what the nailing of each piece is. Small thing but very important. Thanks for the video.
It's very simple. The studs get two nails each end from the plate into the stud and the OSB can have several different nailing patterns depending on whether it is a shear wall or not. But I like to nail the edges at 6" o/c and 8" o/c center in the field. So nailing patterns are application specific and there are charts you review to see the required nailing pattern based on the application.
Loved the quick SketchUp overview. Good video
Thanks!
Excellent. Thank you very much for making this. Very helpful for my garage build project👍
Thanks for watching!
Can you do a sketchup tutorial for a 4x8 deer box blind? I use sketchup but no building experience. Enjoy this tutorial as it gets me closer to understanding how to design/build the box blind.
Great video! I never noticed how the top plate tied in to the corner before. I plan on building a utility shed shortly and this should help. Thanks
CentralMN 40 Thanks much! :)
Awesome video. I was wondering how to do corners. Thank you.
Thanks!
Good video. Told me just what I needed to know
Thank you, I really appreciate the detailed explanations!
I thought maybe it was a bit too long :) Now I don't see it. That is strange :)
Just a really cool and informative video. I enjoyed it. Thanks!
Thank you!
Very informative video. I was gonna ask which CAD program you were using too but looks like you already answered.
I need to learn Sketchup. I enjoyed your video. Will try to learn it in order to create projects. Just starting to get back into doing wood projects.
The free version is pretty good. It is a browser version so nothing to download.
Great video
Im getting started on a 24x30 wood building and this video answered all ???? Thanks for breaking it down to where even i understand...
Thanks for watching!
This is great thanks! Would you do a video showing how you frame up a 16' garage door header?
Great video. How about a video on framing the roof and especially the soffits? How do you enclose/finish the soffits? Thanks.
Thank you for making and sharing this, it was very helpful!
Thanks!
Great work there fella.
Thanks! :)
Thank you very much sir for informative lesson, keep posting.
thank you so much that was by far the best video I have watched explaining framing I am currently building a workshop for myself and would love something like this to explain roof structures I will have a vault style ceiling 11ft high (wall plate to wall plate span is 20 ft gable to gable is 16 ft with entrance on gable end )) I plan on using ridge beam with purlins from both gables and also two beams spaced evenly within the 20ft span also from both gables on which the raised 11ft high ceiling juices will sit. from there both purlins and ridge beam will be supported every 48 " . ridge beams and purlins need to extend beyond on one gable 8ft so as the roof is extended beyond gable over a decking area where supported a beam structure at entrance edge of front decking will support pur;ins, rifge beam and extended wall plates . the two ceeling support beams do not extend beyond the gable wall . so tony if you like a challenge theres one for you. would really love to see how you would do this inc sizes of beams etc
Stay tuned I have a paid jog coming up this week for a tool/office shed. Thanks!
Great video! its helped me in Sketchup and how to frame the corners for my shad!
Thanks for watching :)
thank you for such a great video.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the explanation. Makes so much more sense once you actually see it.
FOGHORNNC Thanks a bunch! :)
Cool video. Awesome computer program too
Excellent video! Thanks a lot.
Fantastic resource !!!! Thank you
