I wouldn't ever recommend running a project off of a little generator like the Predator. It's by no means efficient, it's just what we had to work with here as temp power still isn't up and running here. I will say, it's a great generator for what it is!
Pittsburgh has their titanium framers with a hickory handle. Wonder how good they are being it's a HF product?🤔 All titanium framers were out quick on the waffle face anyway.🤷♂️
Matt your the man, start my journey as a carpenter Monday. Was in construction working on the pipeline for years then left for quote on quote more money white collar job. All that lead me to be in lazy and miserable. Thanks for the videos !
Hi Peter. i'm an ex-pat to Canada, we pump it here, ship it to the States, they bottle it and sell it back to us at a higher price....for some reason this makes our economy better... *removes cap and scratches head*
AUDIO COMPRESSION for your Videos?! Fan here, love ur work. Have you considered running all your vids through a digital compressor on or whatever software your editor uses? It can set the max decibels to chop off on the top end so all of your voice levels will be included but any nailer or saw spikes in the audio will be chopped or flattened = problem solved for your audience constantly fiddling with the volume. thank you! love ur channel!
I have a lot of questions on the roof trusses. Even though they are 2 by 4s, how strong are they when they only the the metal plates holding them together?
Trad'nl gennie has to spin at fixed RPM to get proper frequency out. Load or no load. Thus the noise and need for lotsa fuel. Inverters "form the frequency" electronically, so these spin at much lower RPMs. Much less noise and these sip fuel. Lastly, it wasnt only the Predator MBW got @ HF that day, I feel somehow :)
be a neat idea for a modular home system. the future of house building, all delivered on a trailer and banged together by a couple of guys on site. Kinda like lego for grown ups. I'm sure Mr IKEA has looked at it...
Great video as always. Are you going to try out the new Hikoki (Metabo HPT) 1/2" cordless router? I saw in a previous video you tried the cordless Makita 1/4" and it didn't do very well.
@@MattBangsWood Wow, I think if I did that to my neighbor, they would be out there with a chainsaw... lol. I guess someone is not so bothered, empty lot one side and a parking lot the other.
in my location that would not be allowed, although the city just passed a home that was pretty close to the property line. Of course this was all due to the current housing market and nothing at all with a brown paper bag handed to an elected official :-D
Every builder I've seen on TH-cam use routers to do window cutouts. I don't work in construction, but i do spend hours everyday watching builders on TH-cam as a hobby.
I’m a commercial framer. I cut out windows with my skilsaw. Less tools to roll out less moves, more production. It’s called a rough opening for a reason.
When you're setting the windows, siding around it.. one extra tool wont hurt to grab out. It's personal preference, it's 10x cleaner than cutting with a saw. When we have a solid power source, the router wont struggle like it is here.
Do y’all not have to wear helmets ??? Over here in Texas my crew and company require us to wear one we get 3 strikes then a suspension for 3 days A reply would be good thanks and keep up the good work
This is a very expensive small piece of wall! But very chalenging. 👍 About the paint job, please do not ever change trade. And too do this job in the goog way you all should be dress with white clothing and a LA Dodgers hat.🤣 You know, where I live no way a carpenter is allow to just hold a paint brush in his hand. It's very strict. If you get cut the company and the man pay big money.
Painting went on for quite some time.. I rolled that dang section 4 times before I felt confident enough to leave it alone. It can still be hit once it's in, but it'll be tough.
Sorry you can't be first or second! That would be like the official running across the finish line ahead of the contestants. Nice try but no cigar for you. 🙃
My Monday (today was a shit show....our gable and girder were built backwards our heels were off... 3 weeks for repair. Fuck that. Shifted things and framed over the girder... shit show.
Quick reminder that God will never put weight on your shoulders that He knows you can’t handle. Whatever your going through just be patient and see why God made you wait. It may be hard but it’s all worth it 💫

If you switch to a spiral cut bit for the router it will be way faster and easier
You should check out whiteside router bits
I found your videos because ta couple of them were assigned in my college Arch 102 class. You’re fun to watch and very informative.
I recommend a tagline to assist in the hoisting of your walls. The tagline would be safer on the ground guy. You guys are doing a great job.
Awesome job on the balloon wall. Looking forward to your next job 👍

Very satisfying to watch!
How do you write an invoice after finishing framing a house? wood framing only. make a video with a clear explanation :) please.
So much fun to watch your videos. Thank you
The little predator generator are actually nice. Used them in remote pipeline locations several times.
I've heard nothing but good things about the predators. 👍 If it came from harbor freight or not
Aussie Framer, love the videos mate 🔨👍
Great job guys... greetings from Barcelona!!
We call mono trusses shed style trusses. Another great video

Looks very good Matt & crew
Just like to hear bang on man. You do nice work
Please tell Quenten that we miss him. He was a cute, talented kid that helped make your channel fun.
How many router bits do you go through per build? Or does it last the entire build.
This router bit is new, but the last one stuck around for 3 projects (around 15,000SF).
So what do u guys use for soffit in California? And do u guys run a 2/4 nailer against the wall for ur soffit
I have a lot of questions on the roof trusses. Even though they are 2 by 4s, how strong are they when they only the the metal plates holding them together?
Probably not as strong as a larger rafter
Neat work you guys do 👌🏽

What are they going to do about the window over the garage?
Switching to a smaller window opening!
I buy a lot of tools Harbor freight never had any problems with them. Actually, they're quite good, and they meet the standards of any top line tool.
Matt, you and your crew are awesome man.
Hi Matt new to channel, awesome videos! Do you have anything on monolithic pad forming?

Do you guys work in Huntington Beach? Need some balloon wall work quoted for a residential remodel.

I still can not believe how close that building is to the property line.
Isn't it crazy? Honestly, I don't know how it was pulled off..
@@MattBangsWood I would of thought, by time gutters are added, you might be over the line.. It looks close already.
@@_iLLuSiv3_ 1’ setback, 1’6” overhangs. Gutters another 6”.. 1’ over property line 20’ up.

If the inspectors are watching you videos then they would know how well you do the framing.
This! There could be other channels out there where that's the case.
Love harbor freight. We have a few tools from there. Can you do a portable solar panel for charging???
Do you guys router the windows from preference, or is it required with the zip system?

Yeah temp power can be a pain to work with
@@fatal510 dude shut up you’re a joke you’re not even a builder 🤣 probably some stay at home dad
Looking pretty good!!..
Hey Matt are you using wood battens ?
What for nails do you use on your sheeting? I see people using staples and I don’t understand why
It's up to the engineer to tell us on the plans as to what type of nails to use, ( 8 or 10 penny ? ) And what the spacing is On the nails
In germany wenn use only staples for osb and plywood. Cheaper and faster. And wenn use the osb for inside and tyvek for outside
When you gonna throw GoPro on fox! I wanna see a how fox be working lol
You have a quiet generator… now you need a quiet router!! 😃
yeah quiet=Inverter type of gen. Downfall is they don't go very high in terms of watts. Cost more too. Should have bought A Honda.
Do y’all not have to wear helmets ??? Over here in Texas my crew and company require us to wear one we get 3 strikes then a suspension for 3 days
A reply would be good thanks and keep up the good work
Awesome! Sketchy, but awesome!
Why is the roof line running into that window well?
Architect made an ooops.
@@MattBangsWood but they are the smart ones lol 😆 your an awesome framer bro
How many nail benders does it take to paint a wall. 4 plus camera crew spilled paint is extra im surprised no body stepped in it poor router
You guys use any ear protection?!
As usual a great video...
8:22 - who knocked over the paint can? :P
nice man
I have 1 ,love it. Runs 11 hr on tank of gas
Awesome.
Everyone ganna ignore the fact of how homie got on the wall?😂 11:15 anything to get it secured!
Kitty litter for the big paint spill...
Must have missed the explanation-what are the bump outs? Closets?
The stairway between the two floors. I like it, it's an ingenious design for the small footprint.
@@thomashendricks9774 Clever. Thanks.

Custom fabricated.
@@MattBangsWood the attachments look fabricated . The boom its self has a base model so what would that be

I don’t know why it’s funny seeing framers paint
Like we are not meant for that. But it does look great

How many routers do you boys burn out 😂
First one, going on 3 years.
@@MattBangsWood it’s almost like old mate was going the wrong way with the Bosch going against the routers rotation
Router makes a flipping sawdust mess
Dude go counter clockwise on routing... Lol
U guys painting whole exterior.
No, just this wall to prevent the need to bring that sub out for a little wall.
My Monday (today was a shit show....our gable and girder were built backwards our heels were off... 3 weeks for repair. Fuck that. Shifted things and framed over the girder... shit show.
Rookie mistakes
I never could get my contracting business up to where i wanted it to be some people just didn't just my baby face..
Did you just say over 4$ a gallon!??!?
$4.60 is what I paid this afternoon.
Wow And I thought we had it bad up here in Connecticut at 3.50$
$2.79 in Kansas City
3.67 in Washington state
lol love it when you guys in the states moan about the cost of gas... currently, in the UK the average price per gallon is $6.83!!

Carpenters painting? Sacrilegious.
That's not balloon framing. Balloon framing is a stud from the floor to the roof. You are doing platform framing.
I never liked painting stayed with carpentry
I'm with you, lost my apprenticeship for the same reason.
Everybody buy's tools from Harbor Freight
I'm glad to hear that, lol.
Buy Cybertruck and power up all your tools at truck!
third!
Those step ladders are crap
.
You so funny cutting windows RO with router what a time waste wow
The hole build is a 💩 show...
When Meet Kevin is governor the building permit and inspection process will be so much easier.
