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.

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. Leaning over trying to cut a piece of balanced wood on the ground with a spinning blade is asking for trouble. Its too easy to have the blade jamb and the saw kickback into you leg/foot.

OK I am not going to take advice like that. Typically a whole wall needs to be fire blocked for structure and reduce the speed of electrical fires down below.

Make sure to hold the piece at a 99.43 degree angle. It helps guard against the little things try into to sneak inside your head at night. Or was it 99.44?

Best way to have bent studs. one plum stud. and the rest at the same measure will pull the studs straight.

Dude thank you for sharing this knowledge. Man I’d like to buy you a beer, this is great to know

Great pointer. Learned that from an old school carpenter years ago. My only thing is i want my blocks exactly 14 1/2 or 22 1/2 to pull my stud straight.

You can also scribe the blocks. Scribe it flip it over cut it repeat.

Measure the bottom plate and make a jig and chop saw, you never measure half way up the wall, 16" center or 24"center at bottom plate.

The alternative way is to measure in metric and cut it perfect every time.

When a bay is over ten feet, a block is required to stop lateral deflection. There bays next to door and window opening most be blocked. It's the code

I prefer a mitre box. I'm a trim carpenter though, and we cut to 1/32.
@davidmartin17544 ай бұрын
Come on guys, chop saw is for t&g and trim work. If you can't cut square enough for framing with a skilsaw, go work in a kitchen. But then again, people who comment on these videos know everything 😅
@richardbaer711Ай бұрын
Almost young man. 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.
@CF-wj5hc7 ай бұрын
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.
@frankierzucekjr7 ай бұрын
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...

@gregholl50117 ай бұрын
This is exact measuring. Setting up a jig will be in-exact if the stud is just a little offf.

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

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