I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.

Scott, you are truly one in a million, perhaps billion with current inflation. I’m not at your caliber, but my two guys and I try real hard to build as efficiently as possible and always strive to give the clients more than they bargained for. You, sir, are my inspiration. I am forever grateful that I found your channel and consider you my mentor. My father taught me the basics, you are continuing my education. Keep up the good work!

I can relate… I turned 69 this past month… I just completed this last year a significant addition to my house (during the Covid slowdown)…. I self-framed it (and everything else) and my wife keep asking me why was I doing it by myself…. And I said, “…because I still can!”. There was huge satisfaction in that. Like you said… it made you feel alive… made you feel young… knowing that you still could, and did! Love your philosophical commentary. Thank you as always!

My husband is 60 and I am 59. We are also working on a big addition on our home. My husband does most of the work himself with me being the clean up crew or the "go get that" person. The hardest part for me was putting 24 trusses up- just the two of us. My husband wanted to build the roof himself but our county demanded trusses. It is extremely satisfying to step back and say yeah we did that!

I’m 64 and started framing when I was around 18. Retired now but on occasion get to put my bags on for a project, love it. Framing to me is like a sport and seems to be in my blood. My body actually feels better when I’m active working on a construction project. One word of advice to those in construction, wear hearing protection. No one I worked with in the 70’s did. I’ve lost quite a bit of my hearing due to not using ear plugs. Scott, thanks for sharing and passing on your sound methods and advice to those interested.😀

"It doesn't feel quite familiar, [but I'll trust it with this lumber]" "...Shoulda' used my Skil." What a profound example of the tool you know always trumping the "latest and greatest/new and improved". I have a wonderful Makita rear handle cordless saw. I love it, and I used it to build a literal palace fit for the in-laws for my chickens. But it's all I've known, I've grown quite comfortable with it, and I'd imagine I'd make just as disappointing a cut with your Skil, Scott. That aside, thank you for all the videos you do. It inspired me to tackle my first building project all on my own (with help from family and friends) from scratch. You're an absolute treasure of knowledge, and I really appreciate you putting it out to the world!

So THAT'S what $3 million dollars of wood looks like... gulp! Scott, have you noticed a leveling off (or even reduction) of lumber prices recently? Seems like a little bit of sanity has returned to processed tree prices. I'm in Central Kali and things are not 'good', but seems to have stopped skyrocketing ever upward. And like almost everyone else, I could watch you build phone booths (kids, ask your parents!) and be perfectly happy. I don't know if it's the joy of watching someone else work (when I'm not), happiness at seeing someone improving their lot in life, or just the pleasure of watching a craftsman take raw materials and make something beautiful and functioning. Or maybe it's just the combination of all three. Thanks Scott (and Nate!) for your efforts in this project, and the entertainment thereof. And anytime you want to close with some homemade Jazz, this old trumpet player would be most appreciative. uh one., two. One, two three - Deedledee beboodle debop...

I built a house, most of it by myself. It's a monster undertaking full of smaller jobs. Took 18 months from excavation to move in. That was my first house. Lived there 7 years & built another one. I'm going to build one more probably starting in spring 2023 (depending on building materials cost and availability). Site prep is done. Still drawing the plan. I prefer working alone but sometimes jobs are beyond what I'm willing to and better left to the pros such as concrete and shingling.

That’s how I build the tiny house that had 12’ walls, I just got done with the framing of a 18x26 shop with fourteen foot walls and built them on the ground in 10’ segments. As long as the inspector does make a hissy over the unusual stud placement (all of which is under 16” OC) it worked great. I’m 32 years older and I lifted those walls by myself which I don’t recommend to anyone who’s not an experienced framer. I don’t think I’ll be lift 400lbs walls like that much longer lol. Anyway I’m rambling but Thank You Scott you’ve helped me improve and dream bigger as a contractor and do some things with much greater efficiency over the last 5 years.

Hey Scott- Love your channel. Love seeing you do a shop. When Covid hit, I got busy at my place, and started a 1728 sq ft shop behind my house. I, too, did all my framing (10ft walls) by myself, and took many of your earlier video’s suggestions to heart as I planned and commenced my build. I loved doing it. I’m 55 now, and have building experience from working for a private builder as a teen, as well as steel fabrication history (grew up working in my father’s welding shop). I had the benefit of pre-planning, and had ‘built’ the shop, to scale, on paper, so I was able to use J bolt hangers during my mono-pour and knew I’d be inside every bay. Your corner detail is talking to my OCD, in ways many can’t understand, because I did EXACTLY that on my building. I’d love to send you some photos of what I went through- framing walls, sheeting them, planning the truss staging during delivery, rolling them by myself, fabricating a system to roll the largest attic trusses, etc, etc. I was even offered a job by a high end builder who was working at the same time, right behind my property. Fortunately, he can’t afford me, but it was a humbling experience to have the young crew he had working for him ask how old I was. Nice kids, who said they could not believe the work I was doing, all by myself. I thought of you immediately. When my inspector arrived, he chuckled, and said, “I can tell you built this.”. I said, “why’s that?”. He said “Because it’s PERFECT.” Not ashamed to say I was pretty happy with his comment. I guess if your regular job is building aircraft, the attention to detail translates to building in a positive manner. I can’t state this strongly enough, Sir. The world needs more of you. I see you in your kids and grandkids, and I appreciate what you’ve been able to accomplish. You are pushing good humans out into the world. We need this so much these days. For this, I offer my admiration, and thanks. It’s a big deal.

I like Makita circular saws too. I've been a carpenter for 25 years now and every person I worked for before I started my own business always had a Makita saw so I took that as an endorsement of their quality. I've owned several over the years and never had a problem with any of them. My dad gave me a Milwaukee for Christmas several years ago, and it's a decent saw but I rarely ever use it.

Thanks for helping me relive those heady days of doing it ourselves.

Always truly enjoy your videos, Scott 😊. A good scaffold is a huge timesaver. Just watch those tarps. If one gets loose it can (and will) turn into a sail and take that scaffold down if it's windy enough... this is coming from a near death experience when I was barely 20 years old and clueless 😏. Luckily (very luckily) I had bones of steel and only came out of a nearly 20' fall with a mild concussion and a deep cut on the back of my head. It's a good reminder that it's always the one you don't see coming that gets you. Sorry for the long winded comment lol. This just hit a little close to home. Stay safe out there and thanks for the knowledge share! 👍😁👍. Chris

I used to be an outside sales rep (lumber salesman) and having the "donkey" was a huge advantage when delivering lumber packages. Helped prevent damage and your able to stage product exactly where the framer wants it. It made picking up returns faster for our drivers also.

Donkey instead of "workhorse" because a donkey can do more!

I just lost my job as an outside sales rep due to me breaking company policy by correcting the company’s delivery mishaps off the clock with my own gas. I was doing jobs on the side, specifically woodwork and finish carpentry, and I had to take off early several days of work to keep from falling behind due to a couple really big screwups made by the delivery team. Corporate got on my bosses ass about me only averaging 35 hours a week (on the computer… mind you, I was easily donating 10 to 15 hours a week to the company in order to protect my commissions and take care of my contractors,) and since my boss didn’t want to fill them in on the actual situation (in my state letting an hourly paid employee do work without being on the clock is illegal), he felt that he had to demote me from the full time position that I fought tooth, claw, and nail for for 3 years, to a part time position in shipping and receiving. What a slap in the face that was…. Why would I go to the back of the store and work circles around kids on their phone for half the pay I was getting for doing what I loved, estimating materials and saving people money. I declined the job offer, explaining to my boss that it would be a disastrous use of my time. I then found out why they had picked receiving for what department I should be demoted to.. Because it was technically a 10 cent pay raise (bear in mind, commissions made up 30% of my paychecks, and in receiving there are no such performance incentives,) they don’t have to pay me any unemployment. That company is so crooked. The fact that my boss has to be so afraid of telling his superiors the honest-to-god truth, that he’d rather give his most knowledgeable salesman/estimator, a demotion alongside an ass-chewing. It says a lot.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a great book every craftsman should read. He recommends that when you come up with problems, you need to do Zen, focus on the problem and materials and the solutions come into your mind like magic.

Great job. I framed for decades on a crew, as a lead or superintendent. I framed on a lot of jobs because no one showed up. I would still frame by myself if someone was in a bind.

I really enjoy your videos, I used to do construction for years and know quite a bit but I must say I'm still learning from watching you. You are a great teacher and a good man. I watch lots of KZbin video's and must say that I watch your videos from beginning to end and don't skip through them like I do with other videos people put out there. Keep doing what you love. Thank you, Mike in California

Great video. I’m currently eating my lunch, taking a break from building my first house, my house, by myself. There are many puzzles to solve, especially when it comes to figuring out where those pesky 1/8” and 1/4” mismatches came from and what to do about them. Beams and joists for a floor system are challenging when flying solo, and I totally relate to your “extreme sport” comment… there’s an element of risk, for sure, and having to jump 9 feet down after letting a beam adjust my centre of gravity the wrong way, I have invested in a set of wall jacks that will make the second floor a (hopefully) much more predictable endeavour. Seeing something you designed from scratch literally rise from the dirt and take shape is a truly rewarding feeling. Cheers Scott, you are and continue to be an inspiration.

Hey buddy, I love that you work well by yourself. I've been at it for about 45 years and work nowadays predominantly by myself. I love it, I'm inspired by your calm ways and respect for our forebears, I also love Larry Haun and use him everyday. Now I hear you in my head so it's all good. I'm in Australia.
