I screwed up this frame

[@marksee7726]

Pure enjoyable entertainment for me and amazed at your attention to detail and the videos of you standing on the first story framing and moving those trusses around without losing your balance...incredible. 65 year old guy from Southern California (Disneyland area) US. Thanks for doing all these.

[@KaosRising]

Young fellas these days always ask who fault it was at the end of the day we are human we make mistakes and the most important thing is to just rip in resolve the problem learn from your mistakes and move on. The young fella showed good leadership skills here to any young builder or foreman starting out!

[@benn4342]

Maybe the apprentice was curious about who stuffed it up so he knew where it went wrong. A good way to learn is to ask questions.

[@jordsluke9136]

That trick with shooting a timber to the bottom plate and the bracing batten to crack the frames is unreal! Will definitely be using that one next time mate! Thank you for the great content, always learning!

[@brettellis3948]

Nothing makes you better than everyone else over the long term than accepting you made a mistake then fixing it. Well done mate.

[@Sean-bp6xb]

I’m not in the trade but I’m trying to learn. Love it. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉 Watching from Ontario Canada 😊

[@finley888888]

I enjoy watching your videos as an apprentice carpenter working in Perth, where houses are predominantly double brick walls with cut onsite stick roof frame. The company I work with do pre-fab wall and truss roof which is slowly gaining more and more market share here so its good to see how you do it over there.

[@Jck777]

Im a 3rd year sparky but just enjoy watching these videos for entertainment ahaha, you can tell your work is always top notch, Id def get you to build my house thats for sure.

[@DaveDoesCarpentry]

I’m glad you enjoy them, cheers mate!

[@johnnyjones444]

As an apprentice carpenter never less detail! More if anything please. Love the vids mate. More cost breakdowns of jobs too please!

[@lincolnredmond8650]

love seeing another trade do his thing. Just a sparky watching along. Definitely dont know much about carpentry but its a good watch. keep it up

[@Bitsanddoings]

As a self taught carpenter in the UK from age 16, I’m learning things I’ve never heard of seen done and the different terms between NZ and AUS, I also watch a Carpenter in Japan I’m learning a lot of different methods or techniques from that channel too

FWIW Dave, I’m a white-collar worker M-F and wannabe tradie on weekends! Content is great for me. Lots of tips and tricks, good explanations for the “why?” and it all comes together nicely. No need for fancy editing or music, just great, real content.

as a chippy of 10 years i just learnt you can prop a ply sheet above your tools lol genius

[@jadeyee3505]

Lovin the vids mate, always a good watch for me being a apprentice in nz

[@mcleaniechris]

Mate love the work and good site ownership for an error. Take guts and honesty to fess up and fix up and move on. Makes for great leadership and work culture. Maybe just include in the title of the video what you’re doing (so if I share it to one of my apprentices they can see it’s “building and standing wall frames” as well as your frame error bit. Keep up the great carpentry, from a kiwi over the ditch doing the same. P.s. don’t forget dpc bottom plates! Good luck

[@emde174]

Nevermind the strait edge and level get a stabila plate level you wont look back

[@aronsportel7366]

You guys build houses with timber walls too?

[@s3a353]

@@aronsportel7366 internally for partitioning yes mate, usually block and brick for externals but in some cases we do have prefab timber frames👍🏼

[@6282rain]

Good one mate owning up for a screw up. In pre nail we have normal square frames with msg8 timber but sometimes I miss that halfway through a wall frame there is meant to be msg10 timber, so like you get that screw up fixed and do the next wall haha! quite embarrassing when training new guys mate lol

[@kierannally27]

Nice work bro, enjoy all your videos . I do have a question:I'm sure theres a reason just curious Why is your diagonal bracing gets installed so loose?

[@DaveDoesCarpentry]

We make it loose so that if the walls are framed out of square we can easily move them to be plumb. I use to have it a bit tighter, but ended up having to knock them off as they restrict us pushing the wall plumb

[@vbroder15]

You guys are hard workers, I would advise you just watch after you spine, it is easy to destroy your spine discs if you caring such a heavy frame by a single worker. Do not be a hero, nothing is worth it then your health.

[@kierannally27]

Hey Dave. Loving the videos mate. Very informative. What size type framing nails you guys use for 90x45 studs. Looking at 75mm ring shank but worried they’re too short. Any suggestions?? Thanks

[@ashtondrake3407]

In that spot where your battery died on the aeg framer. How is the exterior wall getting cladded?

[@jaydixon1899]

I'd say the brickie would overhand lay it

[@ashtondrake3407]

@jaydixon1899 I guess no one's gonna see it. Lol Maybe architects just need to think a little harder cause I have know clue how they will put house wrap on there. 😆

[@supenny2583]

Can you do a video on what air compressor and air nail guns you use

[@nr8813]

Are you going to film steel going in? I've thought about filming myself installing steel, but I'm not sure if there would be that much interest compared to framing.

[@waynering4404]

not much clearance from that fence, i thought had to be 1500mm?

[@HaydenKellas]

That ext frame will be fun to clad against the fence 😅

[@owencope7002]

Also, on your long walls, when doing the top plate, i walked the outside of the frame, nailing where one would finish and hooking on to continue. Also, I had to make sure they had an overlap of wall junctions by 1200 and end on top of a stud. Cool story my old boss didn't put f17 where specified for ribbon plate, failed inspection, and he had to cut off all tiedown and redo. Not to mention, i told his dumbass before we stood the trusses, and he refused to fix it then

[@promethazinefire]

can u do a video on how to read plans please bro

[@azzman1769]

Still rating the AEG framer mate? It looks pretty mint 👌

[@bradleylaw7891]

whys there no dpc on all the bottom plates

[@jordanold]

Best question of the lot

[@CapitanGnar]

Quick one for you. Why do you 'snake-bite' shoot the pitching plate to the top plate? Doesn't a wider spread have more hold-down? No disrespect, just an honest question. I've just discovered you and enjoying the videos so far!

[@douglasfreedom8943]

What do you do when it’s a polished slab and you can’t Ramset blocks down to plumb walls?

how do you clad the wall where the brick work is

That’s a carton 🤪🍻

[@soniqmishapunltd]

I thought That bedroom niche is most likely just a cavity for a tv

[@DaveDoesCarpentry]

It wouldn’t be a bad idea doing that, but the niche was only 400mm high

People love niche shelves atm

[@kevinwallis1841]

I'm not in the trade but I understand what U are talking about love your videos

[@zd3431]

is carpentry hard on the body ?

[@morganazzopardi2187]

Can I ask. Does rain ruin the timber?

[@Turtleswan]

Aussie framing timber is treated to be water resistant. Can last a few months out in the elements.

[@dustinkrebs8229]

Why aren't you guys putting sheathing on the wall next to the brick wall?

[@DaveDoesCarpentry]

The brick layers still need to get into that small gap to build another brick wall. The brick wall you see is for the neighbouring property

[@dustinkrebs8229]

@@DaveDoesCarpentry I understand. Thanks for the explanation 👍

[@stompah148]

Hey mate. How come you guys stagger your nogs over there?

At 17.08, how the f@#k are the brickies or any kind of sheet material being fixed to the outside of the wall. Maybe should have been papered before putting up? It's gonna be a nightmare either way.

[@alexsimpson4346]

Brickies will lay from inside the wall
