Low on blow works good for stoking fires and burning stumps for extended periods of time.

I totally agree with you about working by yourself, I do the same thing.

Is there a rule of thumb to decide the height (width of plywood) versus the span length ?

Easy with the language, pal

should also tongue and groove where the 2x4 come together instead of just butting together (something more of a positive connection instead of just butted together). Same with the OSB. That would be the weak points of your TJI.

Otfdyg. Out the fu*king door you go! That’s my kind of warranty.

Never worked with these but I have bought and made laminated beams and I believe over a 20' ft span for any house or 2 story building the built ones are just as strong as the bought ones

What model is that?

This helps I appreciate your work. And it is very important to not cross the tyrants, or petty tyrants, without following the law, godfullness, and when speaking, reapetedly claim, i am not giving advice and this is my personal opinion. What a world. Also, i have operated by triangulation... I see you are shadowbanned also. No surrender! For Humanity, Truth, Universal Justice!

Why do this ?

Is the exhaust vented to the outside to avoid Carbon Monoxide gas?

I can't tell you how many times people have asked me if I were an electrician, mechanic, plumber, contractor, doctor, machine-operator, architect, or otherwise. I have been told many times that I don't know what I'm doing because I'm not "licensed". I used to try to have a logical conversation with them to little or no avail. Now I just reply to them, "Well, I'm not dead yet so I guess it's okay."

How did you cut the channel for the OSB?

Thank you for making this video. Yes, there is a real shortage of videos on this. Please do not put music in your audio , its horribly annoying and its a huge distraction. We are hear to hear your words not the dam horrible music. I cannot get over how much a distraction that music is. Its as if its deliberate jamming of the audio.

How did you accommodate the roof slope where the joists attach to the beams? Obviously you can't cut a birds mouth like with dimensional lumber rafters.

How U like that Hercules sawzall?

How long did you have it before it quit working? Im looking to get one for the wife.

Awesome. I love their lineup. This saw will be one of the next

I like your direct to the everyday point on the pros & cons of Hercules 20v tools. I tell my buddy with the red m18 tools. I can do the same work he does with the Hercules with change to buy another tool or battery.

Don’t waste your time. He yaps for 15 minutes and never shows the thing cutting. Just read the box and you’ll get the same information.

"lot of people say you can't build these things yourself..." - I hear that a lot. Engineering is mostly knowledge of how things are agreed to be done, safely and cost-effectively. I stumbled on this page as I need to create joists. Majority of people seem to offer free opinions about what can or can't be done. 🙂

Even though I'm into the same shit as you, that's not why I'm subscribing, it's because of your filthy mouth.

this guy cursing is the best

You've more or less addressed my concerns. I have a badly constucted garage. Roof MUST be replaced. Has big hole. And I need storage space. Garage is right at 20 x 20. I'm intending to make I joists as you have done, to support a gambral roof, but a little different: I'm thinking of splittling 2" x 6" fir, grooving them with my router to 3/4" and using two layers of 3/8" OSB staggered and glued. If I use 8" wide OSB and make the groove in the fir about 1/2", I'll have 10" tall joists. I'd install on 16" centers on existing walls; just the roof that's rotten. Nominal loading is something I'd have to calculate based on field test of deflection of a sample joist. Comment???

Thank you sir😊

Thanks for the instructions.

Thank you for the review

I have a Bauer chainsaw,, it works well for me

Honey locust. I have my share. That chainsaw works grate. I have one.

I jumped on the Hercules bandwagon a couple months ago. Don’t regret it a bit. They’re badass

Yes, how dare you quote the propaganda from the CDC

I forgot to mention that at $100.00 for Both, it the same prices as Bauer purchased separately, but with the 5 year warranty, Nice!!!

Your right about Harbour Freight tools. I have a bunch of them. I had the old Milwaukee NiCad battery tools. Then they switched to their "FUEL" system. Meanwhile I was stuck with tools that they don't make batteries for. What NiCad batteries they did sell where garbage, battery life was a joke , they didn't care. If they made a converter kit to run their old tools I would still be a Milwaukee guy. I bought a Bauer Cordless drill on a whim. Discovered that it was pretty good. Now I have about 30 Bauer tools and a hand full of the Hercules and lots of batteries . DON'T REGRET being in their platform one bit. There are lots of Milwaukee fan boys that trash H.F. . Well , I don't care what they think . All I know is that I have great tools that don't break and DIDN'T BREAK THE BANK ,. If I was Milwaukee Tools. I would be very nervous about H.F. taking business away from them, they already are. Sorry for the rant..

The sky is taking his experience in the floor in the cells and applying into other areas that are not applicable that is not how tools are ordered by manufacturer that's how no name brand tools are made the ones you buy on Amazon they all look the same but different colors and even then you can't tell them what you want they just have a tool you decide you want it and you can have them put your company name on it that said there are a couple of ways to cut costs and when you go with companies like real by they cut cost in material by using cheaper Motors and cheaper Plastics but when you go to companies like Harbor Freight they lower the cost by not offering as much example they just recently added the warranty to the tools if you look at the same Hercules tool before they had their warranties versus after the same exact tool on average was 8% to 12% less than what they are now because before you didn't have a warranty unless you paid for it now the cost of the warranty is in the base cost of the tool another good example of this is advertisement all these other companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars annually on advertisement alone that cost gets transferred into the tools that people purchase Harbor Freight does not advertise the way other companies do therefore they do not have that overhead to add to the cost of the tool you can look up the parts used in the harbor freight tools they are identical to TTI tools meaning Milwaukee Ridgid and a few other companies are all made by TTI tools and Harbor Freight uses the same Motors Jacob Chuck and everything another way they cut costs when you buy other tools you get a bunch of junk inside there when you buy a Harbor Freight Tool you get the tool you're lucky if there's cardboard in there with it lbs😂😂😂 but these are all the things they use to cut the cost of their tools while still providing a Quality Tool

I just stumbled upon your videos and may you said it best like yeah you could buy this brand or that brand but it all comes down to what’s close to you and no bullshit. #Warranty just want the total. Work. great video man well explained, and honestly these Hercules tools, and my honest opinion are really nice

I'm a commercial electrician and while the contractor provides power tools on the job, I do side work and obviously need my own for that. At work we use Milwaukee fuel exclusively, 18 and 12v depending on the tool. On my own I use brushless Hercules. I can honestly say that aside from the M12 surge impact driver (which Hercules doesn't have any equivalent tools), I would pick the brushless Hercules version every single time. Ergonomics and warranty are miles ahead in my opinion, and performance is more or less the same. That's not even considering price which was not even a factor in my decision- the warranty sold me. I've used it once and the process was so simple, it is a no brainer.

It appears that you and one Australian guy are about the only ones on KZbin or anywhere else to show how you would build a TJI (Truss Joint I-beam). Thank you for this, because you're helping people save money, which can be really tight, while building high quality essential shelter.

I always have a Milwaukee on me. Never leave home without a knife

Engineers, doctors, and electricians. They all say 'Don't install your own service panels.' I read all the directions and installed one in 2 houses. Passed the inspections from the town and the electric company. And I'm female with almost no electrical orientation prior. The key is, do your homework thoroughly. If you have a specific engineering, doctor or electrical problem, you can usually find specific answers that apply to your local situation. Thank you for this useful information.

I just got the 20v brushless hercules drill you have in the video. At like half throttle or so, the gear lash noise is crazy loud. Sounds like an older f1 car revving to 18,000 RPM. Is that normal? Does yours do that? Also I noticed the chuck has a fair amount of run off. No matter what bit I put in there, it wobbles a bit. Let me know if this is normal. I'm thinking of bringing it in and trying to get another one. I've used it a couple times and it works fine. I dont know, maybe I'll just keep it.

Hey, it's nice to see some comparison testing. Some paint is just glue and pigment powders so don't write it off as inconsequential. A product to look into that might be a reasonable alternative to Titebond would be Valspar Extreme Adhesion primer. Make sure your canvas gets saturated (maybe thin the glue with water). The peel test is helpful but ultimately you're looking for something like a sheer test. Look up how people test French cleat holding strength. Finally, none of these tests matter for plywood over foam. You'll need a glue that cures without air circulation for that. (For that matter, canvas over plywood over foam is almost pointless. It can help reinforce the corners but does nothing for the panel.)

Hurcules is a no brainer for my next set of power tools. Ease of warrantee is the big factor.

I’m going to start buying Hercules soon here
