Your videos are great for newbies!! My 7th ? Apprentice I'm training to journeyman has been tasked to watch all your stuff and he's steadily getting better my time teaching him has been reduced big time.e so thanks for all you do!!!
Thank you for the videos man, housing prices are insane these days and I am looking into assembling a steel frame house in the future for cost savings, build quality, and simplicity.
Right on man! I am also going to build a steel stud house one day using concrete and red iron. Doing it proper!! Let me know if you ever need help. Watch out for designers they don't really know how to specify steel stud homes yet and go way overkill and make some really silly mistakes. I've seen nothing but disasters so far and the companies I worked for didn't seem to listen to my recommendations and all went over cost.
Brother, where is your fall protection? When you have a drywall on both side of the wall you don’t have to put CRC or other brace through studs pounchout. For deflection you need to use a slip track
Wood framer here trying to learn metal. Can someone explain why the emphasis on passing drywall through at wall corners and intersections? I understand the “how” but my brain always wants to know the “why”
We have them here yes, I'm a fully trained safety.office as well. Our company and the ones we try to always work for have different policies but we still have to follow some hard core policies when working with the larger contractors. Cheers bro! Don't get us wrong or anything we are very serious about our safety.
Hey man! 1st year union carenter apprentice and been loving your videos learning a lot thanks. Was wondering if there’s another name for a pin laser? Not sure the difference between a pin laser and a line laser.
Yes the pin laser is also called a plumb laser, it shoots a single dot vertically. The line laser shoots an entire 360 degree level line vertically or horizontally. So for example, where you would need two line lasers to Plumb up a piece of top track you could do it with 1 line laser.
Steel framing common in Canada only or in USA, Aus, uk also?. Btw, as a drywall installer in British Colombia we hate when some framers don't leave extra gap where drywall have to pass, eventually all gonna covered up, I don't know why they like leave exact gap there and then we get screwed up, it waste our time and power to push hard that drywall.
Im framing all 16 gauge for Hospitals (OSHPD) standards out here in Southern Cali.. Im using a band saw for all my cuts.. would you recommend a different tool for cuts?
Yes, a band saw is very unorthodox, we would use an abrasive saw (chop saw) with either an abrasive blade or metal cutting blade. I believe they are 14" saws. You can also use a grinder, a gas saw with the right blades or a cold cut saw. But the abrasive chop saw is the best.
@@ConstructionKronies yes I agree chop Saw is the ticket 👌🏽 Down side to working hospitals is the smoke 💨 smells and noise that the chop saw creates.. so we are stuck using a band saw or the Dewalt Swivel Head Shears…
O ya, I forgot about that, haven't done a hospital in a while. This is where the carbide blades come in, zero smoke or dust you can buy them on Amazon here amzn.to/3mez6Z6 and the saw here are 2 really good choices amzn.to/3L27ocz and amzn.to/3Y9uBfu the shears are great, they just came out with a completely new design omg I wish I could remember it I will see if I can find it for you but those blades and saw will speed you up.
@@ConstructionKronies hey that blade is nice thanks for the link I will definitely look into it.. using my band saw is a slow process!! Thanks again bro 😎
I want to build a 6 inch roof built off two walls so it will have 3 corners for support. 1 will be suspended. I want to do it so it's strong enough but I'm not sure how to make sure it's sturdy enough
No but just grab 8 footers and cut them down! We buy studs long all the time and cut them down. The concrete will be up and down so we always got to the high point and round up.
@@ConstructionKronies that’s what I have done in the past doing basements. I was just curious if any one made that length. Thanks for the feed back and keep up the great video’s!!!
Great videos mate.where in Canada are you? I've just complete a diploma(city n guilds) in drylining .watching from Ireland .watch all your videos. tops .
My grandfather was from Ireland, but he came to Canada very young and grew up in Cabbage Towne Toronto. I moved out west here to Edmonton Alberta back in 05. Cheers man!
@@ConstructionKronies awesome mate I love Canada only been once to Nova Scotia . Absolutely loved it there and the people are super friendly there. Can't wait to get back.tnks for reply.
Sure, I suppose you can, just run channel every 4' and brace back to the wall if it's a furring wall. Might be a little flimsy but if it's out-of the way and doesn't get bumped into should be good.
Don't over think it just run your tape measure to were you want the kicker add what you need for the two shoes on either end and it will work out. Doesn't have to be a perfect 45 it just needs to be secure, meaning screw your shoes into the brace so they don't move after you secure it to the structure and wall. Play around a bit you will see what I am talking about.
Deflection happens in every building and house. It is the constant flexing of the ground for reasons like winter and spring. Piles are used to help mitigate the amount of deflection. In steel stud we use slot track also known as deflection track at the top on all walls to underside of structure. We cut our studs 3/4" shorter and screw them in through the slots to allow for movement up and down. We will also use expansion joints in various locations. This will help prevent the walls from cracking and twisting overall.
Yes what you do is cut angles, its important the angles are tightish to the flanges of the stud and then stagger them, 2 screws in the stud and 1 in the channel.

Can I add onto a partition/pony wall like dentist office to close wall completely?
Yes you can for sure!
Do you have any videos on chicago grid/ acoustic ceilings
No I haven't done that since before starting to make videos. I've tried to pitch it on a couple jobs with no luck.
Brother, where is your fall protection?

You're welcome and thank you too!
Love your vids man!
Thank you.

Great video!!

Anytime bro!!
what is the tool belt you wearing ?
A 5 pocket ROX and a custom Cadillac tool pouch by FBM all leather with kunys padded suspenders.
@@ConstructionKronies good thanks Imma check this out. I'm currently shopping for a tool belt
Kunys has a very reliable tool pouch I think its technically called an electricians pouch.
I want to build a 6 inch roof built off two walls so it will have 3 corners for support. 1 will be suspended. I want to do it so it's strong enough but I'm not sure how to make sure it's sturdy enough
shoot me a sketch to my email chris@constructionkronies.com
Just curious if you know if they make 7 foot studs for small hugely basements
No but just grab 8 footers and cut them down! We buy studs long all the time and cut them down. The concrete will be up and down so we always got to the high point and round up.

@@Keith-ui4tp Nice!!
Can you make 1 5/8 studs 24 inches apart.?
Sure, I suppose you can, just run channel every 4' and brace back to the wall if it's a furring wall. Might be a little flimsy but if it's out-of the way and doesn't get bumped into should be good.
Great stuff 🔥
Always super appreciate you Jay!
Thank you 🙏🏻
You are welcome!
How do you figure out a 45 degree for a kicker
Don't over think it just run your tape measure to were you want the kicker add what you need for the two shoes on either end and it will work out. Doesn't have to be a perfect 45 it just needs to be secure, meaning screw your shoes into the brace so they don't move after you secure it to the structure and wall. Play around a bit you will see what I am talking about.
Awesome!!!
Cheers!
What does “deflection” mean when referring to metal stud framing?
Deflection happens in every building and house. It is the constant flexing of the ground for reasons like winter and spring. Piles are used to help mitigate the amount of deflection. In steel stud we use slot track also known as deflection track at the top on all walls to underside of structure. We cut our studs 3/4" shorter and screw them in through the slots to allow for movement up and down. We will also use expansion joints in various locations. This will help prevent the walls from cracking and twisting overall.
No one ever explain how to brace the channels
Yes what you do is cut angles, its important the angles are tightish to the flanges of the stud and then stagger them, 2 screws in the stud and 1 in the channel.

👍💪💪
Hi Chris, yesterday send you a PM on facebook...
Where do you buy the studs?
I buy my studs from Bailey Metal Products through Foundation Building Materials.
@@ConstructionKronies Thanks!
