Framing Basics: 3 Tips for Laying Out Wall Plates

[@mattwhitmire9936]

Larry Haun taught me when I was an apprentice carpenter 35 years ago...I am still forever grateful and will always remember the man..

[@peep39]

That's awesome. I've been watching him for a while, and it's nice to run across somebody who knew him. Seems to me he used slightly more colorful language when the cameras weren't rolling

[@ladytradiej8027]

Oh wow!! You're a very lucky person. 😁

[@themavericks9409]

@peep39 that’s what I thought too.

You should do a pod cast with essential craftsman , tell stories of working days with him

[@believer270]

I'm not an American but one of the things that I like about American people is that they like to pass the baton to the next generation . Americans are generous people not like other nationalities who wants to hide the knowledge from others. Thank you for posting these videos from a great teacher.

Many different designs for each type of project are also included. For example, there are hundreds of designs kzbin.infoUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu for outdoor buildings, from small sheds all the way up to a complete stable. Choose whatever type of shed or storage house is right for you. Pick from fancy ones or more utilitarian designs.

I started reading Fine Homebuilding in the late 80's and discovered Larry Haun. Sad he is gone. I learned so much from him. He was very efficient and knew how to get it done fast and correct. Better yet he took the time to teach us! I feel like I have lost a friend.

[@daveunderwood1469]

very inspiring to see an old timer out there still doin it. Im only 40 and sometimes get bummed out that there some things i cant do anymore. he just told me i still can!

[@metusbatmanv3951]

+dave underwood Stretching in my opinion and staying fit is a big part of being able to maintain this kind of work. The heavier you get, and the less flexible you become the more difficult this work is on your body.

[@REVerbtalk]

I have to disagree with Metus. You don't have to be "fit" for this, you just need to have a good head, basic math and some sort of skill level. Not every person is a size 10 waist and I've seen some pretty hefty guys lay some wood on a property no different than the skinnies. I'm seen skinnies who can do what the big guys do. It's only as difficult as your mind allows it. Hey I'm 38, chubby and smoke, when on-site, there's no signs of me being a smoker so I don't burn out, wind out and wind out. It's all in your head buddy. Now get your 40 year old ass out there and lay some wood, need some help? Shoot me a message, lets team up ;-)

I like how he teaches. I wish the camera man would film what his hands are doing and where exactly he lines up his marks. I still get it. However, it would help a beginner like myself. What a master builder this guy is. Larry is your name? Hats off to you sir. Great instructor.

[@jenaejuarez5845]

I agree with this comment. This guy is amazing but I don't want to see his face I need to see exactly what he is doing with his hands. I think both close ups and seeing the bigger picture would be helpful. Maybe I need to find the framing 099 video because he goes very quickly in his explanations and uses framing vocabulary words that I am not familiar with. I need more broken down step by step and teach me what all these new words are. I think it's awesome how he doesn't use a nail gun and can get a nail in with one whack of the old fashioned hammer.

A lot of you clearly haven't seen Larry haun in his younger days. His carpentry abilities are jaw dropping. He died of cancer not to long after this video. It is sad to watch if you compare it to older videos. So those of you saying he's slow do some research and you'll definitely change your mind.

[@fu2974]

Man if I could have I would have signed a contract to Mr. Haun for half my working life to gain probably 1/3 of his knowledge. He just seemed to be the type to show you if you just listened. Some of my mentors when I was coming up in the carpentry world always referred to Scott Haun as a bench marker and those guys were ultra smart when it came to framing. To bad he's long gone.

Great video! Great Instructions. I learnt allot from this.

[@jlm993]

this guy trained framing crews ( 3 men) that could ( still) start with a foundation and hand nail 200 sqft homes, in three days. Their roofs are hand cut, not trusses. When they use air nailers, they cut 4 hours off the time. Once the plates are down the lay out guy gets a 5 minute head start. Then the other two following start scattering studs and nailing them.
