[@orestsyvak9509]

Very interesting and specific story. In addition, I am beginning to understand English better.

[@ConstructionEd]

A great way to learn English is to do it with construction terminology - Where are you from Orest. Maybe we will make a version with metric conversions.

[@juliehenderson1672]

Is white oak best for weather exposure? Reduced decay?

[@dlbma30677]

1. Pressure treated 2. Cedar

[@ConstructionEd]

Use Pressure treated when exposure is an issue

[@juliehenderson1672]

Does gluing a knot/split prevent future damage?

[@ConstructionEd]

not in all cases - in framing it is best to avoid cutting them when possible

[@danielepalladino6]

Good morning sir, a question: if i want to install a blind ceiling how is possible to nail joist with toenail? Wich size, how many nails per joist side? Thank you for your videos!!!

[@ConstructionEd]

You would have to check your local code if they call our fastener requirements.

[@juliehenderson1672]

Does the weight define strength? Hemlock v Fir.

[@ConstructionEd]

weight is not always an indication of strength, it could be just green and wet. Always refer to the engineering tables often available in the code books for the task you are doing.

[@juliehenderson1672]

Will more wood be processed rather than raw material? Scandinavians manufacture LVL. Cheaper, precise and stronger. Zero waste.

[@ConstructionEd]

engineered lumber has many performance features going for it - they are also making engineered framing lumber for studs. I think you will see it on the rise. But it is more expensive.

[@noahwalsh7552]

Who else is watching this for wood-shop class

[@colemetcalf6321]

How is this free

[@ConstructionEd]

I appreciate that comment - Not all of our resources are free. We primarily support teachers and employers with training materials that align with our video library - we also have courses for the public at TradeSkillsU.online.

specs at 7:23: "fur" is a wood species? haha.

[@ConstructionEd]

Douglas fur is commonly caller, fur, or Doug fur
