Cordless Hardware Nailer & Stabila Crossline Laser

2 tools that I feel are must haves (among many) are hardware nailers and lasers. This is the cordless Beck America nailer.. It looks big but isn't heavy. The 2nd tool is the Stabila LAX600g because it makes quick work of lay out and level.
Please remember that I'm not showing the best way to do anything, but just the method that works well for us. Thanks for watching!
Oh and another takeaway, if you use a drone for commercial work, you need to be part107 certified. Commercial work includes social media like KZbin if you plan to make an income off of that. I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course sso.teachable.... I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test. I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach. That link will save you $100 off the course and support this channel.

Dude... Larry Haun was badass... You are badass 😎

[@DavidNelson42]

I love that you plan ahead to make everything easier for yourself. It shows that you've thought about what you're doing and are learning from your mistakes.

[@michaelmaker8169]

👍👍👍 on your training. I've been learning how to use a skid steer and excavator, it's less stressful and as you said we can feel confident as an operator. One foreman I had was a micromanager I couldn't do anything right despite being in masonry/construction for 30+years . 👍

[@alexanderkonczal3908]

Micromanagement is a great way to ensure nothing ever gets done, and no one has a good time. Training is the only way professions can continue. Always makes me laugh angrily when I hear people complain about not being able to find good help, when I know full well those same people aren't willing to treat their help well or teach them compassionately.

[@yourfacelookslikebut]

@@alexanderkonczal3908 micromanagement tells me they themselves don't know what they are doing, but they "can" control what other people do, so it makes them feel good. It's not productive for anyone in the long run.

[@douglashelsel]

Training, Training, Training......There is nothing better than a GREAT Leader willing to train those that work for and/or around them. Keep Up the GREAT WORK!!!!

[@davidhume2842]

I’m jealous of the face that you got to learn how to frame houses at 16.

[@briansheedy5779]

You do some great work and you are obviously very efficient and capable. It must get to be exhausting if you have to clarify and justify how you do things with all of the internet engineers on here. It’s very easy for people to split hairs and critique every little thing you do but in reality you are spot on with all of your practices. I love the videos and they’re very educational. I’ve been a carpenter for 35 years now and I love picking up new tips and tricks from your videos.

[@AwesomeFramers]

Thanks bro, I appreciate that.

[@mikethomas3069]

No confusion when you call out 16ths. I am a drywaller and we use all 1/8ths for same reason no confusion no 16ths in drywall.. more of a older drywall hanger thing using 1/8.. new kids only know 1/4".. glad to see quality work out there

[@KB_Interiors]

Evening from Bulgaria! And A Very Happy New Year! I must say Thank You, because for the last week I`ve been building my new workshop ( I`m a furniture maker) and I used one of your tricks to measure the height of my posts, by pulling a chalk line from corner to corner of the building and just touching the line. Great advise! You saved me so much measuring!

[@refusedone]

Such a pleasure to watch you play with your little unit

[@antoniiocaluso1071]

acoustic-quality of this Channel's vids are terrific!! thanks! vidz more-fun at 2x :-) this guy really IS a Master!! hmmm...wonder if a drone can catch a tape's end and drag it aaaalllll-the-way across?

[@jerrylozupone1653]

I enjoy your videos and your commentary. In addition I appreciate your views on teaching helpers and apprentices learn how and what to do. I taught apprenticeship training in my IBEW Union for 20+ years, like you, I understood that most people don’t start working construction with a lot of experience. If we don’t train future journey men and women, what should we expect in the quality of the finished product. Great work!

[@rgspanda4102]

Hello from England I would love to see a video on what you carry in your tool bags

[@boobye6305]

giggity

[@joshuahodge1181]

I love you Yamaka really though I apricate you making all this info available , thank you.

[@skiptrace4034]

Cant beat Stabila lasers. I've been carrying a LAX 300G model in my measuring bag for 4 years now and it's still spot on after all the daily abuse. Also been using their LD250 laser measure just as long if not longer.

[@pdcro1247]

Great outlook on training Your videos need to be part of trade school curriculum!!!

[@nrehberg]

Great tips for setting a large post by yourself

[@saticharlie]

Thanks again for another awesome video!

[@Kralphrn]

Great advice. Thx!

[@nickfish3545]

It’s all about how you do it and learn to work with each other, calling 16ths isn’t good or bad neither is calling light or heavy or take the line or leave the line it’s just preference

[@twwtb]

As always, your videos are excellent, loaded with great info. I have one suggestion. It seems like you could use a small step-stool while plumbing those posts. Not saying you are short, just sayin'.

[@AwesomeFramers]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am short!

[@twwtb]

@@AwesomeFramers LOL! I would definitely need a step stool or ladder to reach almost anything around your job site.

[@bobbillock879]

Go tell it on the mountain nice bro

[@cesarmaldonado1864]

The last part is well said. Traning new people is faster that way.

[@chornii_boumer7324]

I got so confused at the end of the video. Where is the big beam he installed in the beginning ?! Did he removed it? Then I realized you filmed the left side first and the right side second, but edited the video end to first beam. XD

Hallo from austria Europa and aHappy New year

[@jimkane9832]

Long bits and a small cordless vac are easier on my back than short bits with the built-in dust extractor

[@Grunt49]

Thank you

[@jimmysalford8415]

Try the Makita Efficut blades. I reckon they’re better than the Diablo.

[@jimanderson4495]

Tim…. Is that Orange nut driver on your M18 torque wrench set for a certain lb ft?

[@sorenjensen3863]

Im curious, do you do 2' oc on your interior walls as well?

[@JeanRoi]

Awesome lol

[@michaelliechty9906]

Tim what made pioneer use advanced framing techniques on this build compared to standard 16” centers ?

[@AwesomeFramers]

The U Factor (thermal resistance) of the wall is better. Also we asked ourselves "why not?" 😁

[@brycerichards2124]

How do you move your forklifts from job to job? I’m looking at getting one and training my little brother how to use it. But I haven’t quite figured out the logistics of moving it around.

[@mpenrod]

Luckily for them, they build mostly in the same area so they just drive from one to the other, again, assuming I'm correct. We considered getting one as well and we talked to a friend we know that does more heavy excavation type work that would be willing to move it for us for a small fee. For as few times a year as we'd love it, it wouldn't make sense to buy a trailer just to move it about

[@AwesomeFramers]

When we move them out of this area, we just use our excavating contractor.

[@lex4770]

Why don't you guys use some longer LVL or metal beam across whole garage to get rid of that post in the middle? In my opinion those posts in the middle of the garage always in the way of things.

[@dspears666]

I'd say because of cost. You might get a longer LVL but it will need a bigger truck to deliver and be way more awkward to handle. Regardless, a LVL will not span that distance without mid support so you'd need a steel beam. Steel beams are more expensive for both purchase and install. Remember, you'd have to pad them with wood so you can attach your joists. If money is no object, it would be the way to go. Otherwise, you deal with the object in the middle of your garage.

[@AwesomeFramers]

1 reason is that the beam will be much deeper and we'd lose headroom, another is cost of the beam as well as the concrete and rebar needed in the footings.

[@rsanders1413]

My architect specified a 26' steel I-beam at a slightly higher cost to a wood beam in an oversized, unconditioned 2-car garage to eliminate the mid-beam support post. The house has 10 foot ceilings so there is lots of headroom to drop the beam down and support floor joists on top of the beam. That eliminates the cost of padding the beam with wood. The foundation and beam end supports were increased at nominal cost and it was painted to match the garage.

[@lex4770]

@@AwesomeFramers Gotcha. But for me personally it's a deal breaker when buying a house. If I see a mid post in the 3 car garage - its no go. But whatever works for you guys

[@stevesmith662]

The saw used to cut the post, what model is that saw? Sounded way too quiet

[@brianmcdowell7377]

Framers are the best

[@charlesviner1565]

Hello everyone 👍🔨📐

[@jmancira]

I don’t like the Diablo bits to slow for me I like the Milwaukee bits

[@reidjudson8885]

Im not seeing why it's necessary to square your layout lines down on faces of the beam. Being that there top flange hangers. For efficiency sake is why I ask

[@AwesomeFramers]

Because consistent height comes from parallel lines

[@jacobalderman105]

👍👍
