We often have to do entire walls. Just did a 60'x140' shop with 2 rows of blocking all the way around. I build a jig for that. Takes a minute or 3 to slap together and can cut hundreds of blocks per hour at precisely 22 and 7/16 and also perfectly square. Edit: I meant 14 and 7/16. For those of you who think that it should be a full 14 1/2, if you can point me where to find lumber perfect enough to do that, I'd like to know. Maybe you're building with LVLs for framing lumber?

Old school here, Framed custom homes in north dallas, In the early 80's. We completely removed the safeties on our saws, and so did every crew I ever worked with,(4). Nobody ever got so much as a nick. I am aware this wouldn't fly these days... We also wired The safety back on our nail guns, People have a tendency to bounce the gun, When the safety is operating. Plus.. People will walk around with their finger on the trigger, Rellying on the safety to fire the nail, Not a good thing if you Accidentally Stumble ,and bump some thing, A nail will shoot and hit somebody. I remember a story in the news, From dallas, A man was walking the joist, On the incomplete second floor, When when he stumbled, The safety on the nail gun fired a nail, It ricochet and centered a man's head, Doctor said if it wasn't exactly centered like it was, It would have killed him instantly. They showed the x-ray in the news, The nail was completely flush, The man finished the day at work, Complained of a headache. I have never heard even one story of anybody on framing job getting hit with an errant nail, With the safety's pinned back. It also makes it much easier to toenail a windbrace, When setting walls.

I've never seen this trick, I think it should be explained though you should measure near the top or bottom, that way your blocks are going to be accurate to how big the space should be. If you measure in the middle, your studs could be bowed and you might be cutting a 14" block or whatever.

[@wrdennig]

Nice trick . . . this used to be called registration. The idea was that it's easy to make small errors when using a tape measure. But if you hold up the material in the position where it's going to be and mark and cut, you're less likely to make a mistake.

Anything to do with the deck of your saw, only applies when the saw is new. As soon as the saw is dropped or someone loads something on top of your saw. The deck of the saw is usually bent or manipulate somehow. Always watch the blade when you cut a board. Your cut will always be on your mark when watching the blade, as a posed to using the deck as your guide.

Easiest way is to space your studs using a correctly cut trimmer (spacer) as you nail them that way all the trimmers can be cut to length except the last one which is cut to fit the last gap. No dangerous messing around with a saw in hand trying to cut on top of a frame on the ground.

If you look close at your layout, the numbers are all there and you should never space your blocks or measure them away from the bottom plate or the top plate where the stud bow will get locked in. Always frame by the numbers. It'll force the imperfections in the wood out as you assemble it

Nice tip, Thanks for the help.

It seems this method allows quick cuts for the stud spacing laying in front of you. All the talk of stop blocks for miter saws has to rely on the framing to be exactly spaced. Cut 20 of them and then find several are a fraction off and then they are all sloppy which is what he was trying to avoid.

[@frankierzucekjr]

Id rather measure, also you might wanna be lower down closer to your plate incase its bowed. But i like the trick for something quick or for something temporary.

ME THE STAIR SLAYER,,, BEEN FRAMING 30+++ YRS... IT IS THE TABLE TO BLADE,,, NOT GARD BRO... BOTTOM LINE THEY SHOULD BE ALL - 14"AND 7/16" EXCEPT SPECIALS IF LAYOUT IS DONE CORRECT... YOU ARE LEARNING -&- I LOVE IT...

My god it looks cold there , good on u kid

[@gregholl5011]

This is exact measuring. Setting up a jig will be in-exact if the stud is just a little offf.

I saw guys do this with those little Sthial 201 chain saws. They framed houses in 2-3 days

[@waynelarson1576]

I have done framing and everything for almost 15 years and that is definitely a creative way to do it if I was going to do it all the time I think I would build a couple jigs for 16 and 24 but this definitely works in a pinch if you only need one or two

I’ve been using a 60v rear-handle Dewalt for two years now, and it’s the best saw I’ve ever owned. She’s definitely the queen of the jobsite.

[@greghujing5692]

DeWalt didn't come out 60 years ago I've been framing for 45 years and it wasn't out then

[@alabamaoffshorefishing]

@@greghujing5692 60 volt saw, not 60 years old.

[@greghujing5692]

My bad

[@xmobstersal4167]

Build a jig. I got hundreds of different standard size block. Takes a few minutes of prep.

[@derricklyewfong8863]

Nice, thanks for the tip definitely going to use this

[@bletchdroshek5984]

"Don't let the Mexicans see you cry" 😂. Best line ever

[@michaellynch8057]

Cut the blocks 14 3/8 and measure odd spaces.

Not every circular saw is an 1½ from the guard to the blade. Every framer needs to know that.
