DIY tinyhouse steel frame how to make stud framing cheap and easy

[@michaelcardona7397]

Mr. Roberto (Robbert), you are right now my guru; I Live in Puerto Rico, down in the Caribbean, not trying to sound like a complainer, but the mindset down here is, if you want to build a shed, workshop or even a small home you must think cement blocks and cement; I have been literally torturing myself for the past few years because I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT I MUST BUILD AS EVERYONE ELSE DOES AND CANNOT OR SHOULD NOT THINK "OUT OF THE BOX". For a few years now I have been thinking of building with STEEL frames, my way of thinking is "It's a no brainer, you don't have to be an engineer, a contractor or a follower, you only need to have a clear mind; most recently I found a steel distributor (probably the only one on the whole island). I like what I see (and it's only the wall frames), but it is exactly what I need to see and how it's done by a (DIY); your project is really great, including the family input, just really nice touch; I also picked up info from the "Tiny House on Wheels in Ireland", "0.5 gauge and 0.8 gauge for studs; thank you for your excellent video and your thought's on how your going about the build; the use of a computer layout planner is simply fantastic and very helpful, could you provide the name of the program, if it's available to buy, whatever info you can provide will be greatly appreciated, again Gracias, to you and your family. Michael C.

Thank you very much my friend for your comment, I Wish You Good Luck with the future & your house. I used solid works but it's very difficult and expensive. I used it for my studies. You can use Google sketch up, a great choice. ✌🏽 Good luck!

[@tomiskalmar]

Your build is exactly what I needed to see how it's done. Specially built in Hungary where I am from. Thanks so much making these videos!

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

nice! Thanks!

[@grazynakaledek6228]

Het Rob Thanks for Sharing your Build Video. Nice Workmanship. Cheers from Toronto, Canada!

[@jjalandoon]

I like what you did on the horizontal support

[@tinyhouseonwheelsireland]

I had the same problem, 0.5 gauge studs, I made my own using sheets of 0.8 gauge, a bit heavier but it was way stronger, nice build so far.

[@abdennacerghaib4510]

Hi,good work with family hand made.Congratulations. Regards from Algeria

[@helzinki1995]

nice build! how far are the studs apart?

[@tiagobarreiros]

I am amazed at how simple you make everything look! Did you had previous experience building with these materials? Great job.

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

Haha yeah on video looks that way :p was a lot of learning! Ive never done something like this before.

[@zacpackman9186]

hi roberts . i have just binge watched ur build can i please ask what the dimentions of what the steel were. i know u mentioned .5 mm gage im intrested in the other dimentions of the c and d rail.

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

100x40 Uw and 100x50 Cw x 0.5mm Thanks for watching I hope you Enjoyed

[@zacpackman9186]

@@RobbertvanHaaften thanks for the prompt reply,. i have loveed it and am inspierd to try building something with this probably a shed at first.

[@joseleonardobecerra3764]

Respetuosamente pienso que una Tinyhouse con esta estructura es una trampa mortal, frente a una tormenta eléctrica y más aún combinada con madera inflamable,pero me gustan los diseños del leyout.. Gracias. 🇨🇴. 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁

[@michaelcardona7397]

Thank you so much for your prompt reply; right after I sent you the message I accessed "Solidworks" and YES it is expensive and more directed at the Engineering and Architecture professions; although i would enjoy the challenge, the expense doesn't warrant (justify) the expenditure, I will save your name, thank you Michael C.

[@brandenc8940]

What computer program did you use?

[@Mohdimranreturns]

Very clean I have seen alot of build videos your videos are by far the best I have come across. Quick question what software are you using for framing??

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

Thanks! Using solidworks.

[@SpartanpantsGames]

what is the program you use to model the build?

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

Solidworks

[@jrhey20002]

what called the matal your using ang how long each metal

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

'steel stud frame profile' 'cw100' 'uw100' 0,5mm thickness and was 3m long and 4m long

[@scottrosko1318]

Very nice to see your progress and methods. Thanks!!!!! I like the music too. Who are the artists you play on your video?

[@1sm08]

Would love to know more about your build site. Is it a parking structure, self storage facility? How much do you pay in rent, and how do you secure your materials at the end of the work day? Thanks.

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

Hey, It's a friends parking garage spot. I can stay here for free luckily. I put all my tools in a steel box, and lock it.

[@SC-vh7rp]

Are you using structural or non structural metal framing?

[@KAYAKBOY6969]

That is 25gauge non structural, I would honestly use 20gauge structural min 18 prefured.

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

Non structural

[@PsychNurse.]

Need to Rust proof the frame.

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

It is galvanized, already rust proof.

[@tsyhll]

What is the stud to stud length? Is it 400mm or 500mm?

[@MrsSoulRaspberryMate]

Whoopwhoop!🔥

[@andrimoldyansah1275]

Can i see model from the screw...

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

It's a 13mm x 4mm self tapping steel screw.

[@FrameMac-LGS]

A good building is inseparable from a good light steel structure design equipment FrameMac LGS is here for change

[@dragosr6074]

Have you got any problems with the thin profiles? I think 0.5mm is suitable for drywall,not structural frames

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

No problems yet! My walls are lighter than drywall ;)

[@ThePandaBeat]

That's for drywall???

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

Yes.

[@adayshatradings8195]

Which software r u using to design

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

Solidworks

[@rogeri5743]

I think rivet is better than screw

[@Damian_mtn]

Do you know how much you spent on all the framing material NOT including the trailer?

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

About 1000 euros I think

[@ryanomoso7173]

What are the dimensions of the metal studs and tracks that you are using? I am also currently building my diy tiny house, thank you👍🏼

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

Uw 100 and cw 100 profiles. 0.5mm thin

[@brownyamastine6753]

What does Uw means?

[@MarinaSilva-yx8sb]

@@RobbertvanHaaften Hi! Would a C90 and U90 be also ok???

[@johnnyhoover2373]

Too light on the gauge of c studs but it will work …. You’ll Learn a lot and be better on the next one carry on

[@markb7739]

The female singer, who is she and where to get her music?.......

[@CatalinaSpins]

Same, this song is wonderful. Who is it?

[@llroySaves]

Now i can build a steel frame, but ill have to slit my wrists if this music is playing in the background.

[@usedcarsokinawa]

Looks great, but the background music is distractingly loud. You have inspired me, though.

[@JanetBuletin]

so anoying this video he is playing music in the back ground how u ment to understand wot he saying grrrrrrrr

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

Sorry bro

[@dantevanniekerk]

moustache - nope... you lost me at the first 30sec

[@unacceptablecondition]

Apparently you had the time to leave a comment so maybe not so lost after all. The rest of us could learn a thing or two watching the whole video so it's OK.
