Do you use 2x2 or 2x4 for framing

@fergusb5787 2x2 for wall framing, 2x6 for floor joists, and 2 x4 for rafters.

I love it and I am in the process of building one as I type this. I built the platform for this blind almost 2 years ago and put a plastic archery blind on top and now I am finally building the walls and going to put the whole setup together. Question about the large window and dimensions, the plexiglass is cut to 29 1/2" by 18" if the rough opening of the window is 1/2" larger then the plexiglass? This is the only part Im stuck on. Thanks for putting this together for all of us!
@UncleBucks Ай бұрын
You're welcome! Yes, the clear acrylic should be 1/2" shorter and 1/2" narrower thatn the rough opening. You want a 1/4" gap all the way around so it doesn't rub when you open and close it. If you watch my window build video it will make more sense why the gap works once the seal strip is put on.

I'm switching from pop-up ground blind to a raised platform blind. Question I have, Do I need to angle cut the 4x4's at thr ground. I will be using elevator brackets also
@UncleBucks Ай бұрын
@PaulGoliath-v1f You really don't. The corners will settle in a bit, but it's not a problem. Make sure to put the factory treated ends of the 4x4s down and the cut ends up (if uou cut them), so that the treated end is in contact with the ground.

I just got mine a couple days ago, and so far I am well pleased. Just a couple thoughts, not sure if you mentioned it or not. Like any chainsaw, make sure the chain is running before you make contact with the wood. Second, while I realize everyone's needs are different, for me, I generally only have a few limbs at a time I cut. So instead of even using the oiler, I just have an old pump oil gun, like grandpa use to have (yes you can still get them) and just give the chain/bar a couple squirts of bar oil, every now and then. For me, least for now, it's much better than filling that oil tank and then having to deal with it when storing. Of course if I had a big trimming job, I would use the oil tank.

Lean your blade. All that buildup from previous cuts just causes rubbing and heat. A clean blade is sharper as well. Your technique is great. Slow and steady is the name of the game.

Great videos, Brett! I appreciate that we don't need to watch video of you installing 20 screws - thanks! You've included just the pertinent info. I have built the components and plan to tip up the base/floor (I am using 4x4 brackets) once the 4x4's are braced. Then pull up the wall sections and build it on top of the platform. I read your suggestion about building the roof frame prior to install. I don't plan on assembling the components prior to putting them together on the platform, so not sure if I can build the roof framing to measurements and hope it fits? Maybe I will assemble only the outer frame and center rafter. I will add a post with how it goes/lessons learned in case anyone else doesn't have a fork tractor and/or has access issues. Thanks again!
@UncleBucks 2 ай бұрын
@gregjarosinski1783 I think building the roof frame as you described is a good idea, unless you are willing to build and assemble it at your shop, then deconstruct it for reassembly on-site.

Great review. I have one and it's incrediable. I'm making some simaliar to it now. Love to see a video on how to make the octogon roof it has. Next one I make will be similar to your octogon blind video to avoid the 360 roof system and door. I will use the 360 sliding windows and 4 corner pockets design. Wasn't able to find any polywood to make the window slides and the vinyl lattice channel was to flimpsy. Used PVC board instead. Primed it with PVC cleaner before painting so the paint would stick.
@UncleBucks 3 ай бұрын
Good to hear someone else's opinion on this blind! Yeah, its a pretty intricate roof design. Seems like a lot of pieces, angles and cuts to try and diy a roof that way. I thought about the lattice channel probably working better if it were installed in a wood frame with aroutered groove v.s. stand-alone, but I think you're onto something with the pvc board! Gives me an idea for another video... Thanks for watching and commenting!
