Positively the BEST channel on TH-cam. Added 25k to the value of my home after following your tutorials. My basement now looks amazing. My drywall guy said it paid to hire a professional carpenter. I just smiled when I said “yes it did” Thanks Eddie
That was one of best explained videos I’ve ever seen on TH-cam! It’s like he was speaking to his 10 year old son and teaching him the basics! Thanks a million
This guy's info is soo good. I've saved his entire 6 part series on basement framing, as well as several other videos (including this one), to help me tackle my basement finishing. With his help, I'm confident I can do this. Thanks Eddie!
I agreed to frame my daughter's basement. The part that scared me the most was the 45 degree wall that she want. "No problem!", I said. In reality I didn't know how I was going to place the studs at the ends. Thank goodness for this video. Perfect solution. I can be a hero now. Thanks very much.
Thank you very much. This was the last item on my basement finishing checklist of things to figure out. You made it so simple and watching a video is way better than reading about it.
Your level of detail when explaining this stuff is great!!! After watching your Framing series and this video, I feel like I am finally ready to get this project started sir! Thank you.
Carpentry is an eternal learning process. Carpentry is one of my skill sets. I learned Carpentry while serving in the military. It’s a tough trade to master. This tutorial took the mystery out of making the 45 degree Wall. Thanks for teaching this.
I just built a 45 deg wall in my basement and watched this video to see how to do it. It works great. Thanks for making this useful video. I initially was going to cut one board at 45 deg and butt up a another at 90 to make other half of the wall. Cutting both at 22.5 makes it much simpler to lay out and frame.
your videos are great. ive been working reno's for the past 3-4 years and i love watching your videos to help me remember what i forget. great work bud, keep it up.
I'm ripping out my old kitchen a building a corner pantry, this looks like the perfect way to build it I've been looking for. Thanks for making this video. I can't wait to get started now!
At last, a video by someone who can do it and also makes a tolerable job of explaining how to do it. And who makes just a little bit more effort. Thanks.
I have to do this tomorrow at work... I'm doing it like you showed and i'm sure the boss will be impressed ,I will give you the credit due but not until after lunch. lol
You made this look so easy. Ive been searching on videos because im building a corner pantry. This video will help me achieve that...Unless you have a video somewhere on how to build a corner pantry.
I've received a lot of questions lately about how to build angled walls...so I made this quick video to help anyone looking to perform this procedure. Please leave any comments or questions below. Good luck with your project! Eddie
Well done instructional video, Eddie. What methods would be used to frame the wall the other way around, with the 45 degree angle on the inside and the 135 degree angle on the face or finished side?
This is such a great, informative video. Do you think it would be possible to convert a corner wall from 90* into two 45* angles like you made in this video? I'm looking to make some more space in a walkway at my home, and unfortunately, I think it is a load-bearing wall.
Hey, thanks for uploading this. I'm putting in a partition wall and "figuring out the best way to fill that gap" was stumping me... this makes it so simple. 🤦♂️ (I never did get trigonometry). 😅👍
This is an excellent tutorial! Simple and effective! One question: how does the wedge not split when you nail it to the full studs? I feel like wood splits if I look at it the wrong way.
LOL...yeah I know what you are saying! But...just 3 or 4 nails down the corner after you insert the wedge and you'll be fine!~ Thanks for watching Adam! Eddie
Thank you!! Came looking for this for type of idea for an outdoor project. Is this way easier/stronger or same as cutting the 2x4 diagonally from corner to corner which will get two of the same size pieces, the same shape as the way you did it?
Hi Eddie. Videos are great! Can you provide some advice on how to frame a 45 degree wall using 2x6 material? Having trouble figuring out how to cut the apex wedge piece. Thanks!
this is the type of exact framing I was looking to do for my small side shed in a tight area of my yard, between my deck and pvc fence area. I have an area of approx 5x10 and I will def use your framing method and post pics of such. thanks again !
i guess if im building a wall at diff more obtuse angles i just need to understand what im doing and apply these same techniques to my specific angles? corect? thank you for your vids. they are a big help!
Yeah what everyone else said and more. Two thumbs up from a new subscriber! As I tend to over think things, you just saved me an hour trying to figure out this crisis point with a simple construction technique. Cheers mate!
is the wedge needed if the wedge side wont have dry wall? trying to save a step, but maybe its needed to secure the two walls together, unless there is another way. Let me know. thanks for the videos
If the end of the 45 was a shower door opening would the framing be the same, except you cut off just after the 45 degrees? So the bottom and top stud would be very short on the 45 deg turn part?
Great video, thanks! If doing for an external wall that’s eventually going to be wrapped and clad, do you think there’s any real need to create the wedge to fill the gap? Or could you just leave a void and fix the outer osb to the nearest stud? Maybe try and stuff the hole with some kind of insulation?
Hi Dave! I suppose you could, but it wouldn't be as good. The correct way to frame it would be to include the 45 degree wedge stud so your framing is solid right to the tip of the Apex. ~Eddie
@@BasementFinishingMan only problem is my angles aren't 45 degrees, I have an odd shaped hexagon thanks to a couple of trees on the plot. I'm thinking it might be better with either a few noggins at the desired angle, or butting two studs together, one slightly larger (6x2 instead of 4x2) and cutting the desired angles lengthways off the larger one?
Great video Eddie! It makes me want to grab some two by fours and start building a small 45 degree angle wall! LOL!!! I just subscribed and I think any other do-it-your-selfers should too!! Thanks for the great tips!
I have a bow window to frame with three 45 degree walls with four 45 degree angles. Should I frame each wall section individually (16" OC with an extra stud at the end) or should I treat the 3 walls as one long wall, putting a stud every 16" with extra studs at the 45 degree corners? I could score the back of the drywall at each 45 degree angle without breaking the paper and build the wall by continuing the 16" OC pattern as if it's one long wall.
I have been watching your framing videos and I am off to what I think is a pretty good start. Wall #1 is up and starting #2 tomorrow. This vide on the 45° angle is exactly what I needed. One question though. Is the apex stud you make from the rip cut a full length stud? In other words is it 8' or 9' long like the rest of your studs in the wall you are building, or can you do shorter pieces and fill in every other foot? Not sure I can freehand rip a 2x4 8' at 45°. Thanks these videos are a life-saver!
Thanks this helped a lot. I actually used this to create a wood retaining wall for my garden. Question I have, what would be the best way to tie the wall together? I have 2x4 wall going into a 2x6 footing sitting on level gravel. Its a long shot but thought I'd throw it out there
Came looking for a better way to build a wall on a 45 and this definitely is way better than just doing 45 degeee cuts cause then you gotta ad much more BKN and it’s annoying thx boss man
I need to build a 45 degree wall, but it is mostly going under air ducts. Should I build the soffit around the ducts first? Basically most of the top of the wall can't be nailed into joists because of the ducts, how can I properly nail it in place?
Build the wall under the ducts first and then when you build your soffit around the ductwork this will tie it all together and make for a very very sturdy and solid set of new angle walls! Eddie
You can Joe! Set the saw on a 45 and line up the edge of the 2" x 4" with the blade and push it through! The table saw will do the exact same cut...maybe even better than a freehand circular saw cut! Eddie
so simple...so brilliant! may I suggest you say to "slide" that cut piece rather than "flip"....otherwise some dumb-ass will spend a half an hour trying to figure out why it is not coming together correctly. Nope, that sure did not happen to me, no sir! (I was working from memory based on your spoken directions lol. I am ridiculous!)

purchased your program. absolutely awesome!! zero fluff.
would this be necessary if drywall isn't gonna be installed on the outside of the wall?

What kind of corner bead do you use on the 45 for drywall?
Bendable paper version with metal bead at apex.

Treat each wall as a separate wall it's much easier to frame Russ!

@@BasementFinishingMan thanks, had the same question!
If my wall is straight and I want to add a angled partition wall what would be a good angle to use
Do you know if a 6.5 inch circular saw is big enough for that cut?
I’m not sure Michael…it will be close though! There’s only one way to find out!…
Is this gonna works on 70degree angle? or 35degree cut? Tnx in advance.
Thanks Eddie.
Would it work also for a 30 degrees angle?
thanks you this Visio has helped me a lot !!
Your welcome Hector! Good luck with your framing projects!
Eddie
Is there a video that shows this on an inside corner
can I do this if the 45 degree corner is going to be part of the door jamb. I don want any additional wall length, just the door right at the corner.
You can as long as you stay out of the 45 degree corner at least 1.5"' to 3" .
Eddie

It's 1 long continuous stud Adam. ~Eddie
@@BasementFinishingMan Thanks for the quick response! I have a B&D workbench that I can clamp the stud in that should help with the ripping.

I know this is 2 years too late, but I would use a 45 degree framing bracket/corner angle to hold them together.
this made me excited to go build. thanks

Great Video thank you helped me to do a corner pantry
Awesome Brenda! We can all use Pantry space! Thanks for watching.
Eddie
I wish I could share the picture of my pantry .... you were such a great help with your video. All my friends are really really impressed
Hi Brenda! Glad the video helped with the pantry. Would love to see it!
Eddie
thanks great video. Is this the same method for any angled wall? Like a 52 or 26?
No Jake...this is just for 45 degree wall angles.
Is there a technique for angles other than 45 degrees? How else could you handle the gap on the corner?
What if the wall is not 45 or 90 degree angle? Can you still do the same?
I need to build a 45 degree wall, but it is mostly going under air ducts. Should I build the soffit around the ducts first? Basically most of the top of the wall can't be nailed into joists because of the ducts, how can I properly nail it in place?
Build the wall under the ducts first and then when you build your soffit around the ductwork this will tie it all together and make for a very very sturdy and solid set of new angle walls!
Eddie
So when the soffit meets the angled wall, the end of the soffit should be cut on a 45 degree angle, correct?
That is correct! They have to be or they won't fit...
Eddie
Damn that was explained well! Thanks!
Thanks Sean!
anyway I can rip the 45 angle with a table saw?
You can Joe! Set the saw on a 45 and line up the edge of the 2" x 4" with the blade and push it through! The table saw will do the exact same cut...maybe even better than a freehand circular saw cut!
Eddie
Thank you so much appreciate the help
will this work for other angles...35 degree 65ndegrees etc? thanks
No it won't...you can get it close but you won't get a perfect apex angle... ~Eddie
Thanks for the quick reply and great video.
What do you guys think is the best option for a 65 degree wall frame ?
Thank you!
You're welcome Aaron!
awesome man. thanks
Thanks Ronin! This 45 degree wall trick never gets old!
Eddie
When building a 45 degree wall, do you have to continue the 16" stud layout from the neighboring wall or start new?
Start a new 16" layout for each side of the new 45 degree wall.
Eddie
Basement Finishing Man thanks
Your welcome buddy! Good luck with this framing project!
Awesome
Thank you mate!!
