Started framing with my father in law and it is my favorite job in the world nothing beats the work you put in everyday then climbing down and right before you go home for the day you get to turn and look at the progress you’ve made in a day
I agree. Best feeling in the world is seeing what you built and realizing you made something that will be there for a long time as someone's home. I recently told one of the guys on my crew, carpenters and framers don't get enough gratitude or praise for what we do, the pain we endure when our bodies are wanting to quit but we keep going, risks we take, sacrifices we sometimes have to make all in the name of building. And then we get the other trades who like to blame us for everything. Lol
i am my third week in to framing custom homes and i love it! watching you makes me feel very slow. which to be fair, i am. slowly but surly getting the ropes, just concerned about doing things properly and Safely and let the speed come
14:15 just seeing how efficient you put the nails in your belt and reload the nailer it is very clear you're experienced and have done it countless time! Accumulation of small things like that that make a beast! Cheers from Québec. Really enjoy the videos!
Watching you makes me grateful I don't do production work... Respect but no one should have to push themselves that hard today. Just hope you have a happy home life for all the effort you put out cheers brother.
Honestly its not for everyone I am a plumber myself and have worked jobs on highrises where 75% of the time is labour. I left that scene though as it's too much physical stress on the body. Now I just do housing and service and commercial jobs like hotels and gyms that's where the real money's at Is commercial.
The trades Is hard work but it's good money the more you know the more you are worth. You can apply these skills into becoming a handyman or skilled tradesman and make 1000 bucks a day doing your own jobs
I only built one hip roof with trusses, and it was this way. I designed it myself. Later I discovered the type where they make the top chord lower so you can just run a full length 2x on top 🤦♂️ haha
Way to go bro you go hard. You got skills man. Interested in your truss design In NZ our hip trusses that but into the bottom girder have Long top chords which but into the top truss you just straighten by eye and nail down to girders.The hip trusses arrive with notches for a 4x2 to slide into nail into, but both into apex and bottom and straighten to form the hip. Way easier quicker and heaps less work. Cool to see different building styles 🤙
Hey mate good work I love watching your videos I’m a carpenter myself from Australia and we do framing abit different here but I like seeing how other country’s do it keep up the good work
I’ve watched how you guys do construction in Australia. Honestly it should be the standard for trades here. The way you guys have apprenticeships and certifications only makes for better quality. In the states if you’re 18 you can just walk on a site and start as a cut man. That can be good and bad depending on who is teaching.
Yeah I’ve watch how you’s do it in the states and it’s similar but abit different I find it interesting how you’s do it in the states I love seeing how different country’s do it
Here in Australia you do a 4 year course at tafe for your certificate 3 in carpentry then you can become a tradesman and can get your contractors license and then if you want too you can also do your certificate 4 in carpentry which is a 2 year course and that’s how you get your builders license
You could lay-out and nail those to the step-ups before you stand/roll them, then get a helper to finish the install/nailing. saves a lot of high-priced grunting. Also, same concept can be used to set girder with monos pre nailed and pressure-blocked prior to rolling.
all the thrills ... at the speed of thought. Hope you are going to have a glorious weekend! You make it look so easy and then I realize you built it and know where to go. Soo happy you keep your channel alive. Cheers A+drian
Hi , what kind of go pro you used in your video? I'm a apprentice in the province of quebec , very différent method between our two province . I like To see you passionated and your devotion very Nice work !!!
I started carpentry at 41 and I’m currently 44.5. Didn’t expect to go down this road but it happened after I left a desk job. Turns out I enjoy building things. I’m not framing like you so I’m always impressed. Some people are born to do things and you found your thing 😆
Thankyou, yes I as well as many others I’m sure stumbled into framing by chance. Personally I began learning to frame as a means to boost my fire fighting resume with trade exp and I began to enjoy it
Was thinking the same thing here in the US all the step downs are built low so whatever pitch you’re working with across an inch and a half works out to an over frame that you can either do by hand or even better they just send you a big triangle looks like a gable truss. You just slap it down. Framing Beast is in Canada so maybe things are a little different. I hate having to cut in between sometimes we have to because the truss company don’t get it right. in fact I usually have to tell the truss company how to build it ha ha ha
I could set the first truss after the girder with 22.5 blocks instead of 20 7/8 and use flat purlins but it’s taking a bit of a risk if you get a rough inspector. All other houses are blocked so sort of sticking your neck out to go purlins but would be my preferred choice… better for sheathing and less cutting
I think the truss manufacturer is doing him dirty. Been building for 25 years and our trusses are always designed for purlins. In fact if I wanted to spend the $$$ my truss guy would build me a layin hip truss that laid flat on top of the trusses replacing all the purlins. My guess is the builder saves a little $$$ by having the guys cut up all the scrap wood for blocking.
Where did you buy that paslode framing nailer? Been trying to get one with that same one, but I only found the one model that you pull the lever and put the nails from the side.
Where I do framing in the uk the panels and stud walls come already put together , we build the floor cassete, spread the trusses and build the roof, and then do the facia sofits, fire breaks, all that stuff and when the house is signed off we will earn about 6000 pound we will have a house finished in 2 weeks ( have 2 finished in 3 if we go hard ) and there’s 3 of us so I don’t think it’s too bad personally
Its definitely a weaker connection. The only way to not do it is by not nailing so close to the edge. He puts a lot of extra nails in though so it probably doesnt matter but I could be wrong.
I like doing these jobs you do, but it's very exhausting because my boss loves speed and I like to work at my own pace for I'm not that strong yet, can get exhausted if working really fast. I get yelled at and my confidence is so down I don't wanna work in this anymore
Cool bro, glad youre back, i drove to the site today to check and i saw a few crews framing, but, we also need drywallers back, dunno if they settle yet
A true production framer! Great job man! I bet you enjoy the aches and pains that comes with it too ;-) But is there anything better than mesuring, cutting, nailing and smelling wood.
100%, any f/t framer that’s been doing this for yrs and says they are pain free is full of s_it or has a chiropractor on the payroll but yes the trade off is worth it for sure
@@framingbeast720 I appreciate it! Your videos are great my guy! I'm a cutter but I always look at your videos and look up what you do as I can prepare for my next day at work and be on point! So your videos are more than just helpful they're legit training!! 🙏💯
Having bambhi legs is normal at first but as time goes on you will know where and where not to stand and it will be like riding a bike or playing an instrument and will likely become second nature
I’m not sure what you’re referring to with outriggers but I went with long to long blocks when they landed on double trusses. I could’ve went regular long to short with 2x6 blocks. The long to long blocks are easier to set nicer though
13:37 disrespectful #1 waste of material and time #2 poor management of labor work #3. Within 10 seconds tells me the type of employee/employer you are.
Wow that is a lot of small pieces to fill. Wouldn’t it be much easier to move the trusses back to drop 1.5” and do a lay over. I am not a framer so don’t know the terminology.
One more thing what happened to the old school Hitachi guns? Maybe you need a bottle of oil in that tool bag you go through a shit tone of nails in a day bet the 5-10 recommend drops of oil per day don't quit cut it at ur rate.
What a waste of time all our trusses get dropped 1.5” so you can run flat 2x material for all the framing needless to say it’s faster, but nice work regardless
Started framing with my father in law and it is my favorite job in the world nothing beats the work you put in everyday then climbing down and right before you go home for the day you get to turn and look at the progress you’ve made in a day

Making those cheek cuts on the hip just by eye was pretty slick!
Thanks
That's the way to
i am my third week in to framing custom homes and i love it! watching you makes me feel very slow. which to be fair, i am. slowly but surly getting the ropes, just concerned about doing things properly and Safely and let the speed come
That’s the best attitude to have starting out in this trade. Learn things the right way and the speed will increase over time.👍🏻
It's all good he's probably got about 20 years on me but it just takes time to be fast. You wanna be steady first.
You have the right idea
That was pretty cool seeing you freehand that rocket cut/cheek cut, then you put it in place and it fits great! Impressive.
Thankyou
You’ve got a solid worker 👌 understands the cuts and measurements sent and goes just as hard as the framer 💪 solid team work

Where you live do they always design the trusses that way? Lot of extra work framing in between vs ontop.
I only built one hip roof with trusses, and it was this way. I designed it myself.
Later I discovered the type where they make the top chord lower so you can just run a full length 2x on top 🤦♂️ haha

So interested to see and hear from guys who do it differently. At the end of the day it all looks good and functions well that’s the main thing
That's how my Truss Company delivers my hip sets also.

Are you in Ontario? Love your vids
Yes
Been wanting to ask you do you prefer the 21° or 30° framing nailer
30 is the only real option around here based on price and availability of nails
Just the opposite in Cali. 21° are king. Where is the coil gun my man? Also have you seen a gogotape before... want a laugh or a box hit me up beast!
Awesome man, great work keep it up. Look forward to more vids...
Mad! You have a good work ethic.
Is there a reason you prefer to block in between trusses vs flat tops on hips?
Or Is that just a truss manufacturer detail?
Was thinking the same thing here in the US all the step downs are built low so whatever pitch you’re working with across an inch and a half works out to an over frame that you can either do by hand or even better they just send you a big triangle looks like a gable truss.

Is it a big deal that the ends of the wood split out a lot? Hard to avoid I know, but just wondering whether people worry about this or not bothered.
Its definitely a weaker connection. The only way to not do it is by not nailing so close to the edge. He puts a lot of extra nails in though so it probably doesnt matter but I could be wrong.

Hey Beast, what kind of footwear do you recommend for framing?
I usually stick to brands I know like Dakota (with the tarantula grip) or keens. I try to find light shoes or boots especially in the warmer months
My toxic trait is thinking I’d be able to move this fast just starting out
