Building trusses for Demolition Ranch Headquarters Part 8

[@jeffp9889]

I’m showing this to my grandson because he does not know why he needs algebra in real life! Excellent example. 👍🏻

[@280zone]

I think this is more geometry.

[@jackielinde7568]

Yeah, it's surprising how much math a tradesman can do on the fly. They are no slouches. RR Buildings is another channel where they use a lot of algebra and trig on the jobsite to make sure their building is plumb, level, square and true.

[@dangnguyen7365]

sohcahtoa!

[@tdmallet]

Trigonometry, to be exact. I'd love to see them layout and fab the pipe trusses. Great video.

[@BigBoiBleu]

Even trig should be basic and necessary knowledge if we are being honest.

[@erockhefleyjr6852]

Demolitia here!!!! More subs comin your way! 👊🏻

[@kylezmcgee455]

I went from Vet Ranch to Off the Ranch to Out on the Ranch and Homemade Everything to Demolition Ranch to here and Matt Risinger. Definitely more incoming subscribers. 😊

[@280zone]

I love watching skilled craftsmen at work, they make it look so easy.

[@BlackThunder885]

Explained that in a way that made sense to me, wish that my high school math teachers were so willing to do that... Luckily been learning math from old construction workers at my current job. Keep up the great videos.

[@dougstubbs9637]

With a Stickie! Talent there. Makes my welds look like a visit from the Silver Pidgin.

[@rosecowBoys09]

I wish I had been following you years ago ....same here my son always, always reminds me I don't need to take an kinda of math or algebra I'll never use it in life he graduated last year now he's like I wish i had listened more in my math classes he works in construction with his uncle's till he decides what he really wants to do .... Eric I love watching your videos so interesting beautiful home you guys build 😊

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Thank you

[@geicomatt]

They say "we will never use this in the real world" well kids here it is in the real world!!

[@MAGAMAN]

If they taught math in school in a way that was engaging like this, many more people would put more effort into learning math. A lot of schools don't even have metal or wood shop anymore, which is a real shame.

[@SheepdogSmokey]

@@AdamAlistair I'm building a pre-fab building into a house, loads of math considering I do very little other than accounting most of the time.

[@SheepdogSmokey]

Amen, we all have calculators but they can fail due to a virus, or just not have power, knowing how to do this manually.

[@SheepdogSmokey]

@@MAGAMAN They used to in Ag, Shop, and other classes that have been cancelled so the money can go to sports.

Whoever is picking them Tunes, smooth. Thanks for showing the build from the start of fabrication.

[@alexzummo5342]

As an MEP contractor this is some great knowledge! I usually come in after the structure is complete.

[@yippie21]

I wish either I'd had your math teachers back in school or you as the teacher. Mine were horrid. Thanks the the explanations. Most excellent way of paying back knowledge.

[@rhino5419]

I came here originaly because of demo ranch but this is quickly becoming one of my favourite channels. You could have been a teacher as you have that rare talent of clear explanation of practical use of what is taught in schools and kids think they will never need. Good health and stay safe.

[@miguelvalle6563]

I have honestly learned more on your channel in the last 2 weeks than I have in years of watching KZbin videos from others. You go so much into detail and give so much knowledge you've gathered in your years of work. You give us explanations on the jargon used which can't be learned unless someone teaches you while working out on the field. keep it up! Thank you so much!

[@traineralpaca6344]

Great video! Though I still had to rewatch certain parts 5 times or more 😂 Its cool to see how its done all over the world

[@buddyzmama1]

I love how you show all the skilled work done by talented people, that most would never think of as being important to building our world. Thank you for doing these awesome things as a part of your channel, Eric 👍👍👍

[@Don1960]

Doing is one thing remembering is another. You do this every day me once every 3 to 4 years.

[@pal7252]

OMG, call me crazy but this was very fascinating. And yes I understood the pitch numbers. 😉

[@treavormiller9552]

He’s using a $45 harbor freight welding helmet. you don’t need anything fancy you just need to know what you’re doing

[@WaltWW]

If you don't have a speed square... Time to get a speed square, said Swanson.

[@stevendewell5505]

That is a really good welder. He can really lay a smooth bead.

[@brayanmartinez5434]

Love to watch your videos, another example of why mad is important in real life.

[@iJmoney210]

Very nice how you actually show how to measure and cut to obtain end results. Most others won’t show that.

[@richardpalmer6196]

Hermano , That was the easiest speed square lesson And math explanation l've ever heard. Nicely done .

[@jpena184]

For some reason I find this fascinating. I’m not even a builder or in construction. Big fan of your videos!

[@rlv3180]

It's SUPER hot in Texas right now. Props to these guys.

[@jeffreylocke8808]

Simple but exceptionally rugged. Very precise and skilled performance. Thanks for sharing.

[@trueblue533]

I love watching y'all work, it's like watching an artist create something! God bless!

[@Phid79]

If you are making three ( or more) of anything, always make a jig (or mark the ground). This saves time and makes it easier to produce items to the same standard/dimensions.

[@blksheepdogtonyg.6453]

I like how your employees work you have a solid crew tell them the KZbin people gives them their props

[@ericgonzales6582]

This is my new favorite channel , been welding awhile now and you guys are pros

[@paulbetka2966]

Erik 👍 👍 ❤️ 🇺🇸 Most informative Video you've done in a long time 🙏🏻✌🏻🖖🏻 You R Texas Barndominium 👍❗

Much respect for what you do! I would never figure this out.

[@jmcintyre1420]

Thank you for being so open and sharing your processes. Its helps a ton !

[@boriskarloff598]

Always good when the square fits the work space. Cut the angles on your square with a cut off wheel and now you have a mini square.

[@Randellro111]

Loved everything about this lol. Also it would be cool to prank Demo Matt with his own intro music playing on videos that involves his barndominium.

[@TexasBarndominiums]

😂

[@michaelbrennan7148]

Thank you for posting. Thanks again for explaining a2 + b2 =c2. :) Speed square is very handy tool. Im not a trades person but I do enjoy seeing the trades at work. Keep the slag to a minimum:) Thank you for posting. Tha

Hey can you show how they do the curved style rafters I would like to see more in-depth basically step by step how y’all do all this would be kool

Being from Minnesota, a 3/12 pitched roof is a little shallow for shedding snow in the winter. Being an amateur mathematician I like a 5/12 roof because the hypotenuse of a 5/12 right triangle is exactly 13!

The historical name for the math of the roof beam is the "pythagorean theorem". It's been in use for 40 centuries! That's a lot of roofs.

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

A great video. I love learning.

[@BlenderRookie]

"Hypotenuse".... I have not heard that term in decades........ I don't miss school...

[@kevink692]

I remember some of it of i had study guide format i remember

[@Jimmy_in_Mexico]

Thank you for your videos. I built a barn for a guy down here in Mexico and it was 9 foot rise in the middle and the width was 36 feet. It was too much. But he wanyed it done that way. Also we dont have a lot of wind here like yall do so he had me make it with 8 inch perlins welded to form a box and i put a 4X4 inch square tubing brace across the middle 20 feet of the truss then made some verticle square tubing reenforcements. I would like to send you pics but it would just make you shake your head. I did a very good job welding it all up but its not code for the USA.

[@oscarborjon6112]

You can build the next one on top of the first one and so on and so on

[@raymundo7687]

Ive learned more from old tradesmen than i ever did in school and most of them flunked out.

[@TexasBarndominiums]

😂

[@cliff4695]

I knew everything but this was very informative. Could be confusing but if you take it 1 step at a time, it's pretty damn easy to understand.

[@garybower1824]

Measuring twice takes too much time. Sometimes its better to wing it then cut or grind a little more off or possibly weld some more on.

[@nolanharris8675]

I'm a college history major and I can 100% attest to the need for basic algebra in construction (which I do over the summer) even simple math I have to think about! Can read an entire book in a day or two but figuring out the pitch of a roof is beyond me lol.

[@trapjohnson]

'3 on 12" So, One-Fourth. (Yes, the practicality of using the foot as the reference for the denominator. STILL, I hate unreduced fractions at a flinch level)

[@trapjohnson]

And NO, I dislike metric even more than I do not like unreduced fractions, so save it!

I'm a jack of all trades, from cars to women. Now I've learned how to form a concrete foundation to pitching a tent 😇

[@JamesSmith-wh4xe]

All you folks that want to learn the math, go down to your local skilled trades hall and see if they’re taking apprentices. Carpenters, Millwrights, Pipe fitters, Ironworkers, Riggers and crane operators, machinists etc.. The math becomes like breathing, you use it all day everyday. Math kicked my rear all the way through school. No one could ever explain to me how to put it in the real world. My eyes could see it and my ears could hear it but my hands made it real. If you know kids that want to make a six figure income and have a sense of accomplishment tell them to skip the university system. Learn a trade through the halls or go to a land grant trade school and get the paper too. Dirty hands and clean hearts can help you sleep well at night and rebuild our country.

[@TexasBarndominiums]

Well said. Thank you.

Great video I'm new subscriber really love the content any chance you could do a video on the curved truss construction please we wouldn't see much of that here in ireland .💪👍

[@patricks7622]

Dang that guy sure made some good welds I'm pretty dang Rusty he would take me quite a while of practicing to match that level of welding it looks about a half a step away from a sub Arc weld I'm semi jealous

[@opendstudio7141]

Maybe he's using 7018 rods for drag welding the butt joint. The Low-Hi (low hydrogen) does run alot smoother, but they need to be stored in a rod oven.

[@patricks7622]

You sure have a good way of explaining how things are done. you're going to make me into a contractor before it's done I reckon... Somebody sure schooled you well on trig back in the day .. I still get a headache when you say hypotenuse however... BTW, do you ever sleep? Haha good work have fun

[@TexasBarndominiums]

I sleep very little. Lol

[@victorduran6486]

Should do a demonstration of all the ways to get the pitch so that way ppl can see a hands on

[@davidmorris3102]

So you buy a speedsquare and use the book that comes with all the rafter lengths in it.

[@jacob9699]

Well if my algebra teacher's could've explained it like this I wouldve understood

[@audiphilth]

How do you calculate the rated load at the peak of the I-beams to know whether you need to add fish plates across those welds, or a horizontal gusset underneath?

[@realazzwardogg922]

There’s no way you’re going to exceed the load capacity of those I-beams on that roof. Unless you park a tractor up there. 😂😂
