Building a Work Shop: Framing Walls and the Two Hammer Challenge

During this second installment of Building a Work Shop, we start framing and standing our wall sections. We also have a little fun with the RR Building Two Hammer Challenge. If you haven't been following RRBuildings on Instagram, then you might not know what the Two Hammer Challenge is. It's hard, and its a lot of fun, so stay tuned as I announce the competition over on my instagram channel.
I also talk a little bit about how to rig a load before just flying wall sections and invite you to comment below what you think about how we do it. Maybe I could be a little safer or more efficient.

From the start, Ryan was very helpful and is continuing to be helpful about his kzbin.infoUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans . Also, they have answered all the questions I have asked & I got outstanding support from his My Shed Plans full package.

[@leonardjohnson7864]

I love your channel. Construction is my passion and Milwaukee tools, of course! Keep making work fun!

[@roush211]

Maybe it's the editing, personality, building quality, or sweet tools, but I love the building series. Cant get enough

[@RRBuildings]

Thank you

[@dokmanian]

the double hammer was impressive

[@zapilil7643]

Душевно получилось, с огоньком))!

Great videos and great work! Love your comradery. Wish i had a few pencils to bury! Your attention to detail is out of this world.

[@raynoladominguez4730]

Yes, please do a video on rigging and lifting, that would be great thanks. Great video as always.

[@mitzibud6908]

Love, love, love!!

[@HankinsExcavating]

You guys crack me up!!! I have been learning alot from you vids so a big thanks for that! I live just south east from you in west central Indiana so the weather isn't very predictable. As always great job!!@

[@wb8ujb]

you guys are just freakin Awesome! Thank You. Always learn something, ALWAYS entertained... Thank you!

[@HamidA-to8vy]

you are very professional and your channel has valuable content to professionals in construction industry

[@JBLewis]

I'm always astounded at how accurate you guys are with boring those holes for the through bolts on the brackets. I'm sure practice makes perfect!!

[@nesleyheiney3111]

JB Lewis that’s what I’m screaming. Even if your good at it , it’s still hard to do but they make it look easy lol

[@roderickmarruffo7600]

Dang impressive double hammer challenge & this is the 1st time I've looked up the music that played...

[@jksconstructioninc.3396]

Was watching at 5:00am on Sunday, and my wife comes out and says “what the hell is that beeping sound?” Backup alarm on the kabota.. my bad.. :) awesome video as always guys!

[@bowhunting1013]

Great video !! We got to have some fun along the way , glad to see you love what you do and y’all are good at it to

[@cleokey]

Nicely done

[@wildcatkhosro]

man i love your channel, great content ; thank you

[@WcHoward2]

Love how you still show the “Shiners” @ 2:42 into the build.🤣😂🤣🤦‍♂️ This is why we never put our hands where the nails can “turn” out of the board.

[@Dan.Dockery]

You always make it look easy!

[@triarc3740]

You definitely keep the worksite motivated

[@paulm5302]

Love that Tango Music Kyle... waiting for one of you guys to show us how its done 😁. Keep up the excellent content👍

[@JamesBond-xq3tw]

Like the French cafe music ,great show

[@abefrohman1759]

Always nice work 👍

[@kharvell16]

I don’t know why but watching you guys build these buildings is so satisfying!! Would love to see more behind the scenes stuff, like meeting with the client (if they are okay being on KZbin), dealing with permits, town, HOA etc...

[@andrewschott3635]

Nice video, enjoy watching

[@willford8475]

A rigging video would be good. Thanks.

[@kickit59]

Kyle this building is going to be amazing just like all the other ones! The two hammer challenge was pretty cool as well! You guys have a good time getting the work done! I used to work in the aluminum smelting industry & we had fun betting who could get the most work done in the least time! Thanks for the great video & content!

[@danconlan8735]

Thanks for the great vids and I loved the Whack-A-Mole hammer competition!

[@gotasister376]

Sub numbers keep growing and growing. Keep up the great work!

[@sonnybeltran7096]

Awesome! 👍🏼

[@kallferreira2214]

Congratulations on the video, I am a builder here in Brazil, I admire the way you work, trying to learn and develop the same method, adapting our reality of technology and materials, thanks for providing great content, sorry English

[@joshbrucksch]

Thanks for another informative video! A rigging video would be great.

[@Storm-rp9xe]

Amazing process, I would love getting some experience working with your crew, great videos

[@arrowkart4j]

I enjoy watching your channel and how this stuff works. I'm a big fan of pole barns. Back here in the East we have Pioneer pole barns in Pennsylvania and Morton Buildings. They make beautiful race shops. Keep up the good work, keep the videos coming I enjoy it

[@Joshua79C]

Morton is out of Illinois, but yes they do build nice post frame buildings and homes, but are kind of out of the price range for many folks.

[@cptinstaller01]

Never heard of that pencil ✏️ trick !!! I’ll definitely do it on my next build ! Starting a 24 x 30 garage build ... thanks for you awesome videos 👊🏻👍🏻👊🏻

[@RRBuildings]

That’s awesome

[@perrosymasperros8516]

I love your channel and your work is a pleasure to be subscribed.,., greetings from Argentina.,., peace

[@bradbusch9585]

So I take it the new miter saw table is a big thumbs up.

[@nesleyheiney3111]

Even if your good at it, it’s still hard as crap to do!!! How does he drill straight through that post perfectly every time lol. He makes it look too easy.

[@victorkuklyaev1416]

Nice to have Two Hammer Challenge :)

[@kd-ge2ys]

Отличная работа, мне очень понравилось, как приеду в US хочу посмотреть.

[@blessing2255]

I love construction I grew up around it and have some little experience with it

[@johnwardell467]

Luv those brackets man

[@RedRabbitOfficial]

Recently discovered your channel. Awesome videos.

[@georgefadous3568]

I love the music you used

[@shervinkiani7368]

Hi dude i just want to say your works are perfect. Even i would love to work with you guys 👍👍👍i wish the best for you💐

[@garystrahan4601]

You "Nailed" Greg in that hammering competition"😉

[@bradbusch9585]

So I take it the new miter saw table is a big thumbs up

[@scrout]

The music.....the most interesting man in the world.....he doesn't always nail out the walls, but when he does, the butt joints butt.

[@RedHeadGuitar]

Watching these screws go into the lumber like a hot knife through butter is oddly satisfying.

[@denniswilkinson1118]

Greg is a big asset to RR give him a hug every now and then .LOL

[@corypride]

Excellent video! Great editing and, for once, some background music that is pleasant to listen to, instead of the typical, repetitious, grating crap on so many other channels. Thanks.

[@jgoody7467]

Love the music brother.

[@TheRooster1122]

Kyle, Hows It man? After watching your videos for some time now” I’m getting the impression that Greg is a valuable employee! The guy seems right on point and, knows his way around a job site...

[@hhanger1]

when I turned 18, I went to work on a framing crew as a summer job. I bought a 22oz Craftsman framing hammer and after a short time my forearm cramped up so bad I could barely hold it. After a few days though, I could drive in a 16 with two swings but nothing like you are doing!

[@ChrsDxnWrks]

Would love a rigging video!

[@bionict-rex4326]

When I was a kid we called that old man strength. 💪

[@augustreil]

Thumbs up !!

[@jonjacobs3863]

OMS. Old Man Strength

[@jasonking2943]

Omg I thought Greg was peeing on the pencil

[@alberteinstein9045]

that first sound bite reminded me of the days I worked in Moscow.

[@Freetheworldnow]

Another great day hammermen!! No contest!!

[@user-vb5ur7qd5h]

😊 Wandarful

[@HazItMade]

I'm reminded of a recent compliment I received that I hammer like lightning! I was feeling pretty puffed up until he explained that I never hit the same place twice!

[@waynebetley4851]

This build happened longer than 13 hrs ago. Snow is on the ground now. Fall build, good job, good team work

[@RRBuildings]

It happened just over a week ago... January 10th maybe

[@atNguyen-vm9ud]

hello my friend who has been following your instagram for a long time now just know your youtube channel is so lucky

[@philipjones9297]

It must be a pleasure to turn up and work with you it makes me smile listening to the banter between you all

[@usernameTheInnerTube]

I asked my old wife about that tale and she said she's never heard of anything like that. But I'm willing to try it out so, I'll plant as many of those pencils as you can send to me. 😁👍

[@user990077]

About the rigging. The angle the strap is at when lifting enters into the calculations. But since you are well under the load limit you don't need to worry about it.

[@retireddriver16]

Any video will be loved by us viewers. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@teresawilsonadventures5688]

Interested in the structure screws you used. What other screws you use while building? Maybe a video on this subject? Thanks from mid Missouri

[@Joshua79C]

GRK screws last I recall him saying he uses, Midwest Perma Column provides you with screw packages for their brackets (sold separately).

[@jackel440]

Fun times

[@Aepek]

8:47 That was cool.....able to see through the holes straight on down the line. One would think you’ve done this sort of thing a few times, cuz that was 💵💪🏼😂 Cheers👍🏻

[@kipcarroll486]

Yes, Kyle, you mentioned possibly doing a video on rigging. I would like to see that, coupled with your booms(wall height/length capability of your booms, etc.) Always look forward to your next video. Thank you, brother ! Oh Yeah......Thought I was watching Post Frame Godfather...with the music ! HaHa. Good stuff !

[@RRBuildings]

haha thats hilarious...a little different music

[@troylane4781]

Awesome work would love to have been there to help

[@TheRooster1122]

Ha love that (Real Man Nails) 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@joshuafulton1625]

Have your hands pretty close when driving those large nails. I had to learn the hard way a nail can curl back out the direction it was driven and stitch your hand to the wood.

[@d.lagumbi9230]

Lol. you have a lot of favorite days.

[@opendstudio7141]

You forgot to fertilize the RR seed pencil with a blank check and a legal signature.

[@rualert1602]

Or you can piss on it.

[@RRBuildings]

Haha

[@reggiesmith6423]

As a former US Army Pathfinder and Air Assault certified person, what your trying to get at is called, "tensile strength". I never dealt with anything less than a 10K sling set and most of the time we used 25K sling sets. Take a look at reach pendant. Perhaps this may be able to help you in your skill set.

[@michaelvangundy226]

I have seen quite a few different methods for post frame. Yours is a well thought out system. You omit the blocking between the wall girts but make up for it with the extra heavy ring shank nails. Predrilled purlin with 6 inch nails are another way to save on blocking. Very interesting system. So everything hangs on these very heavy duty fasteners instead of stacking wood on wood like traditional framing methods. Good fasteners! I assume that they don't rust or pull out over fifty years or so? I worked in earthquake country where we were subject to shaking every year. We found alot of fasteners fail over time when subjected to some stresses. I never trusted hanging wood on a nail but it seems to work well for you. Great videos, thanks for "posting".

[@RRBuildings]

I suppose it’s al possible I just frame based off of engineered plans

[@Joshua79C]

What he does has been the norm for more than a few decades, or since this type of framing came to be.

[@michaelvangundy226]

@@Joshua79C No. The "norm" is to stack wood on top of each other in vertical compression using fasteners to keep it from shifting. This is hanging wood with fasteners in shear and little to no compression.

[@Joshua79C]

That is the whole points with construction method the post are what bear the weight and depending on foundation being used also takes on the weight and distributes it into and around the soil underneath. See "Construction" section, its basically how most skyscrapers are built, the wall is a curtain in this aspect of framing. Ever since it was conceived in the early 1900's. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_building_framing

[@michaelvangundy226]

@@Joshua79C You missed the connection to the girts and purlin. Don't get angry, this is something most folks will never understand.

[@22kmclaren]

With rigging it's important to remember that tension in the strap only matches the weight of the load when your strap is perfectly vertical. More angle in the strap means more tension for the same load. If you have straps at 45 degrees like your configuration, each strap is "feeling" tension equal to 100% of the load, so two straps rated at 7200 lbs actually only buddy up to move 7200 lbs when rigged at 45 degrees. If you somehow managed to rig and lift with your straps perfectly horizontal, (can't guarantee I remember this right) it goes all the way up to 200% of load weight as tension in each strap.

[@RRBuildings]

Yes Kyle great point I didn't cover...I try to never go past 45 degrees

[@dandeliontv946]

You ever try to sheath the outside with those pre insualtion ZIP walls and then add the steel covering? You'd probably need wider foundations Those walls would be mighty heavy and the steps would likely be quite a bit different.

[@jmert_5859]

I think a rigging video would be cool.

[@accomack100]

Got to let the Boss win once in a while!!!!

[@johnblain417]

It would be a nice touch to end each of your build video series with a tour of the finished building in full operation. For example, when you have finished this shop build, do a short video with all the customer's tools and machinery installed and working. I would imagine that, since your customers have given you permission to record the build of the shop itself, and post it to You Tube, they would be only too pleased to show off their new acquisition when it is all finished? I do appreciate that each contract may be many miles apart, and making time to travel and shoot a video possibly, several weeks after you have completed your work on the project may not be possible either due to distance or time restraints. So maybe the owner of the new build could be encouraged to shoot their own video and send it to you as a post script to your construction video?

[@captaincaveman00]

Hey @2.40 did those 2 nails miss the mark? 😆

[@herrpauk]

Nail guns can be pretty dangerous as seen in 2:40. I've got a nail shoot back at me cause I hit a knot in the wood. Nails can go left or right, puncture your hand or even shoot back at you. Small chance, but I've seen it.

[@cdubs1723]

Not sure what penny nail that gun shoots but I think he’ll end up a few cents short

[@RRBuildings]

Yes I missed and fixed it later

[@robertevans6481]

Please share with us the boom you are using on the skid steer. I'd like to know manufacture and model you have been using. Have you had any regrets with this one? Thanks
