How are we doing for 2 days in with 4 of us? I'd say we're doing alright. Subscribe if you're not already! Let's hit 20K today! For those that wanted to know lifespan of a Diablo Router Bit.. That bit did all of Season 1 & 2's windows, and it's still sharp doing the windows here.

[@alexmitilica99]

They dont give u a hard time for not using galvanized nails in browntone lumber. The inspectors are always on our ass about that

[@kyawwinoo1099]

I love to learn it from you.

[@teddyvarano3637]

MattBangsWood save a good amount of studs if you use off cuts from plates or something for you”channels” and replace that full stud in the middle with 3-1ft ish blocks instead. We call our channels stud black studs. Use then on every corner too instead of California corners. Personally i like stud block studs better, leaves u room to shove insulation in if needed and can be easier for the electricians in some cases.

[@mainegeek0]

I am turning 40 soon and contemplating a career change. I have always enjoyed carpentry and framing seems like it would be up my alley. Thanks for the videos. You are never too old to do what makes you happy.

[@seapowder3434]

Did you ever make the switch ?

[@mainegeek0]

​@@seapowder3434no not to construction but I left a toxic job for one that I am much happier with.

[@DailyMobbin]

Framing is just too much fun!! Great video Matt!👷‍♂️🔨

[@johnpiegzik298]

Great video! Hey I know how you love your Vans, you should reach out to them and help design a framers shoe! Maybe a mid or high top perhaps a steal toe! LOL! You never know! A MATT BANGS WOOD SPECIAL EDITION!! John 👍😎

[@joshsmith2591]

I've never heard them referred to as channels. Always called them to pars. My first boss would lay out a wall like: x[par]x and the guy making headers would make them up. Keep slaying!

[@Redfiregtag]

From ohio we call them u corner

[@pcranebmw]

I have always had good luck with a pilot panel bit chucked up for cutting out door and window openings. No bearing to fool with. Bang On.

[@cencoast_7.340]

Don’t really have to mess with the bearing, set it once and you’re good. To each his own I suppose

[@brayan9274]

Make these videos longer I could watch these all day!

[@JustAnotherChippy]

I love your videos for rawness and knowledge. No mucking around with camera tricks or sponsor/not sponsor/click here and there/notification blah blah blah. Keep the puft puft puft sound of gun ringing. 🇳🇿🤙

[@MattBangsWood]

I have companies I work with, but I rarely ever do sponsored post. Just showing the real life work day!

[@FritsvanDoorn]

Oh yeah! Great camera work! Thank you the fun!

[@psidvicious]

We used to call the channels, “Ts”. We made them with the cut-offs from the door jacks instead of a full stud. Pencil in the saw guard...naughty, naughty 😆! A case of, “Do as I say, not as I do?” 🤜🤛

[@MattBangsWood]

Definitely a do as I say, not as I do kind of person! 😂 I can’t cut blocking the way I do if the guards down.

[@nutoriousclown4107]

Hello Matt. Going up fast!! Hope you didn't have to lug to much material from the back. Can't wait for the next installment. Enjoy the day. Ray L

[@kevinobrien1933]

Just a suggestion from another framer put your drywall backer in along the parallel walls before rim makes a great nailer for the rim joist

[@aricv1295]

Nice confidence walking those 2x4 wall plates! Haha I still struggle with those. Especially on 2nd story houses..knees weak!! Nice vid

[@T.E.P.]

super exciting to see this coming together! gotta get some merch to represent here in MN

[@tobslobe]

It's like watching myself work...pov is Kool. makes 8' look way smaller. i prefer to sheet walls laying sheets horizontal if its possible but i know some places or builds don't allow that. I don't have a cordless/ router so i like to cut my windows out as i go cause ppl cant cut good with the Sawzall or they bevel the plywood so windows flanges cant touch the wall. routers are nice though if you sheet it on the ground or have a lift with a man basket so fast.

[@zacheiriksson]

Instead of using a full length stud for your channel use 3 roughly 12 inch cut offs. Saves material and you use up scraps.

[@teh60]

Very cool, really like this series.

[@edgarguzman5556]

Aye matt i have the same problem with a loud compressor just throw a sheet. Over it helps. Alot

[@Mikeanddrea]

Shouldn’t the second story floor joists sit right on top of the wall studs?

[@lorenrickey5481]

We can’t tint that dark. 👮 carry tint analyzers now. Build a sound box for that generator out of scrap osb and sheet insulation.

[@lorenrickey5481]

Hey Matt, did that router bit have a bearing on it? Next time try the Diablo 1/2” shank panel pilot bit. No bearing needed and it has a sharp piercing point for plunge cuts. Most lumber yards carry this bit or a generic version of it.

[@MattBangsWood]

Hey! I think you've mentioned that bit before, and I really want to try it. I wouldn't have to claw a hole to start either, which would be really really nice! My local yards don't carry them, I'll probably have to buy them on Amazon! The bit i'm using is a Flush Trim Bit - with a bearing. A few months ago I had a bearing fly off, scary stuff!

[@lorindastephens7580]

With the type of flooring used 1 1/2 ply wood then another 1 1/2 how can it be ok to hang a ceiling rack or two in the garage. I’m used to seeing the floors built by a full 2 x 6 or 8. The ceiling racks I’m inquiring about can hold up to 6 hundred pounds.

[@duckhuntindudewelter219]

What's the reason your long haired buddy keeps his hammer in his bags like that? That would drive me nuts! Anyway keep hangin and bangin brother!

[@TheProCut17]

router for the window opening, nice trick. Thanks for sharing.

[@MmmmGoodBoy]

TheProCut works great for your username too.

[@cencoast_7.340]

I don’t get it..

[@dancar1660]

Been Doing it for years !

[@TT-ik3kd]

I get how blocking the wall like that before it’s installed makes it quicker and sturdier, but doesn’t it lower the r value significantly in that area because now they cannot insulate behind that. Thx

[@MattBangsWood]

Not sure - I doubt it, have to think.. Studs are the same thing, but 92-1/4” tall, they insulate above and below. It calls out for a 4’ block line on plans, but we have our ways of blocking that we stick to.

[@stanleysiewierski]

Makes sense to router window openings like drywall.

[@mehardies3999]

Hey Matt. Love your videos. What material did you use on the rim for the 2nd floor? Was it 3/4 in ply ripped to size? Thanks.

[@KoiAquaponics]

[@AntonioRamirez-xg5ce]

Hey @MattBangsWood huge fan of the channel. What hammer are you using? Looks really slick

[@mickquaid7709]

In Australia we have to put house wrap on all our frames do you also have to do this aswell as the osb

[@mechanicosz9337]

Why everyone is using OSB for sheathing instead of fibreglass gypsum boards, like the GP Dense Glass or USG Securock, or Glasroc X?

[@jeremyseiler1559]

come to florida and frame we'll show you what the toughest building codes in the country are! hold downs lmao we are all about uplift here bro

[@MattBangsWood]

California and Florida, two hardest places to get a General Contractors license and two worst places to build due to spec’d out hardware to codes.. Nobody here is bragging about hold downs, or anything like that.. Just documenting work days buddy.

[@dylanmounsey7515]

I’d say you’re crushing it

[@KoiAquaponics]

Imagine if owner builders took the time to put construction adhesive between the studs and plate priors to toe nails. It would be so much stronger.

[@MattBangsWood]

Would definitely make a crazy bond. Would it be worth it though?

[@KoiAquaponics]

Only for the home owner/builder. For contractors, it's not worth it because 2 toe nails already meet requirement .

[@cencoast_7.340]

Nails hold plenty well, what would be the benefit?

[@abenzuoo]

your team is FAST :]

[@MattBangsWood]

We move right along! Hoping to double speed and have the place done in 5 days, with a day of pick up.. We’ll see.. Today’s not going so well!

[@ZackAlawi]

Why arw the blocks between the studs staggered but in the winery build it was a straight row?

[@MattBangsWood]

The blocks in this build were just to keeps things rigid, while the walls in winery build have blocking in it for siding backing.

[@GodzUnit01]

what’s the difference between a shear wall vs a regular wall? are there noticeable differences when looking at them?

[@MattBangsWood]

Shear walls will have specified shear nailing (6/12, 4/12, MUST use 10d’s) along with spec’d out sheathing. Shear walls will have hold downs at both ends. Technically, non shear sections don’t need OSB at all. Some framers do it that way.. We don’t. We sheet everything! I’ll explain more in my structural plan reading video!

[@nitro1380]

Why do block in between studs, is that code in California or spec in the plans?

[@kylecorrow702]

How did you get into this line of work? Rarely see young framers or young plumbers or anything. Nice work bro. From Las Vegas

[@MattBangsWood]

I'm working on a video on how to get into framing or carpentry at all for that matter.. I feel it needs to be talked about! It's super simple, most people just don't have a clue on how!

[@jeremyford.1499]

You earned a new subscriber! You’re talented bro. I can’t wait to be running my own crew here soon. Probably another year, I’m almost a year in. How long have you been framing?

[@gacusdt]

Just curious why you guys not sheet walls on floor ?

[@lorenrickey5481]

Just curious Matt, you have cordless drills and saws. What do you use a generator for?

[@MattBangsWood]

We have a gas compressor too. Generator is used because 2/7 of us have corded Skilsaws now. I'm working on getting them hooked up with cordless!

[@nutoriousclown4107]

Btw man how did you get used to walking top plates 🚶 I’m only able to do it on 2x6 external walls. Any tips?

[@farofalo]

If you frame exterior channels like that, how can you get your insulation in?

[@Redfiregtag]

We call thoes channels, u corner in ohio, but mostly we just put blocking in between the stud space every 2 feet. Our builder doesn't like the the air space that is left with the u corners.

[@jbparrothead8532]

Good to see the fire blocking going into the frame...was told by a builder here that it is no longer code...another stupid Cali BS decision.

[@MattBangsWood]

Anything over 10’, we block all walls no matter what though! Our preferred way of doing it.

What Vaughan hammer do you use ?

[@mitchell9153]

Why not 2x6 as backer instead of 2 2x4s

[@MattBangsWood]

7” vs. 5-1/2”. A 2x6” over a 2x4” wall only gives an inch of backing on both sides. The way we did it allows for 1-1/2” on both sides.

is your airhose polyurethane? what brand is it?

[@MattBangsWood]

Yes it is! 😊 We run Husky (Home Depot) or Hitachi Hose, 1/4” for going to guns, 3/8” Flexzilla hose to go from compressor to tank.

[@lorenrickey5481]

MattBangsWood Flexzilla is great especially in cold weather. Lays flat no trip hazards. Bostich makes a good hose too. Check out Home Depot’s Dewalt hoses during Christmas for a good deal @ $20 for a 1/4 x50 with connectors.
