Probably one of the best videos explaining not just the how, but why. Great tutorial

[@JoniAntonioo]

Cold corners though, I frame California corners. Been through questions for over 10 years and always go back to the same thing, how do I insulate the corners….???

[@stephenpalmer4887]

I am part of a Habitat build team. I was looking for ways to maximize our time when we have volunteers on build day. Your video was helpful to me. It appears with a good set of plans, we can pre-cut most components prior to build day. So actual building is occurring while we have the men and women there to work. Thank you for providing this easy to understand information. Great Job!!!

Super job. Thank you for pointing out all of the mistakes I would have made. Understanding the corners and backsetting for the sheeting would have cost me valuable time and resources on the project. Now I have to watch so many more of your videos. Good Journey Richie

[@jdgunner75]

ok, that was impressive, I tried to use SketchUp years ago... you obviously did not give up and it shows. thanx for posting

[@ArtisanTony]

Thanks :)

[@ammerconsulting]

this type of corner is probably used most often, but it is a "cold" corner, because it can't be insulated easily. The other option is a "California" corner that turns one stud 90 degrees. This still allows 3 studs in a corner, but also allows the corner to be insulated. Nice job on the video.

[@ArtisanTony]

I know what a California corner is and it is substandard compared to this corner. It allows for very little nailing of exterior corners and siding. One window loses more energy in a house than any of the framing will. Look at the framing system as a whole. Not just one politically correct component in the system. I have been building for 40 years and this corner is the way to go. If you are anal about the insulation, foam it but do not use an inferior structural system just because you saw someone suggest it.

[@ammerconsulting]

@@ArtisanTony I thought your answer seemed a bit touchy. I merely pointed out that there are other methods that can be used. I did not say that a California corner was superior, only that it allowed ease of insulation. I too am a builder and I have been building about the same length of time that you have. I am also an engineer. I have built on both the the East and West Coast. The building code specifies that there must be three studs in each corner and both your method and the California corner satisfy that requirement. there is not lack of strength in the California corner. The insulation ability of the California corner has more impact once you start using larger studs for exterior walls. With the Spacer block method that you showed, the uninsulated area becomes pretty large if you go to a 2x6 or sometimes now a 2x8 on the exterior walls. The California corner is not just some political correct idea. It has been in use for building since after WWII when the housing boom started in California. I certainly appreciate your comments, it is always good to hear someone else's point of view on things. I clicked on your video because I saw Sketchup. I use it a lot too, for everything from home design to furniture design. I thought you did a great job at explaining how the parts of a house go together. I especially liked the fact that you built the wall on the floor and stood it up as we do in the real world. Thanks for the video and the reply. Good luck!

[@jeffsalman2235]

I use Revit and am learning the basics of framing. One of the best, most informative videos I've seen, and it helps tremendously and is so efficient to watch you do it in Sketchup ... really helped me to quickly see and understand the details of how things are laid out. Look forward to checking out your other videos. Appreciate it!

[@daveoverbey2032]

No' your video's are not too long '& I really appreciate the details you include showing & telling. Too many people are know it all's & know little to nothing & get upset on anyone explaining it in detail, as I already said' they are convinced they know it all. L.O.L If people would but listen & except they don't know it all, it be a lot easier to teach.

[@StarfishIntl]

Fantastic! I've been wanting to learn Sketchup and how to frame exterior walls. You joked around about your videos being too long and possibly spending an hour doing the whole house. Well, if you were interested in doing that very thing and had the time, I'd be delighted. I've always wanted to understand the entire process of building a house from ground up. So even a "quick" bare-bones video would be awesome. I'm really intrigued and tempted to try building a Tiny House on a trailer bed, light enough to be pulled by a Honda Pilot.

@@ArtisanTony do you have a similar video for the rafters (not engineered rafters/trusses)

[@daneidsmoe3542]

thanks for the tutorial. i like the idea of keeping all your cut offs so maximize blocking. the only thing with that design on the corner is that it creates a cold pocket. once you attach the other wall and sheet the outside you cant put insulation in the gaps which down the road can cause mold and mildue

[@ArtisanTony]

Do you know how many "cold pockets" are in a home? Hundreds. Do you know what the r-value of a window is? Please do not preach to me. I have been building for over 40 years and know every square inch of construction. Just research thermal images of exteriors and you will that your windows and doors are the biggest culprit.. When you solve that, come back and preach about the way we build corners.

[@kytrapping5829]

For a 12 x 12 building -The front and Back walls will be 12 ft and the side walls will be 11'-5" on the left and right or you could make your floor 12'-5 on the left and right and just build all walls 12 ft and it would also work too

[@amtpdb1]

Very good video. One thing that would be better if you would have told us what the nailing of each piece is. Small thing but very important. Thanks for the video.

[@ArtisanTony]

It's very simple. The studs get two nails each end from the plate into the stud and the OSB can have several different nailing patterns depending on whether it is a shear wall or not. But I like to nail the edges at 6" o/c and 8" o/c center in the field. So nailing patterns are application specific and there are charts you review to see the required nailing pattern based on the application.

[@VideoNOLA]

Not mentioned: The full-length stud next to the Jack is a King.

[@F.S.H.O.]

Thank you!!!! I learned more about framing in this video, that the other 15 videos I previously watched. Watching you build it sketch up was excellent.

[@ArtisanTony]

[@i.p.freely3561]

Why is the OSB not nailed to the top plate? Type of nails and nail pattern would be nice. I am not experienced with carpentry but I find your video very interesting and easy to follow. Please keep up the work and demonstrate exterior insulation methods.

[@shelbystory7300]

Awesome job very informative video by far the best rough sketch explanation of wall framing I've seen!! You need to make more of these explaining how you anchor the exterior walls to the slab foundation weather you shoot them in with concrete nails or drill through the stud down into the concrete and use bolt anchors spacing them out every 2 ft or what have ya

[@ArtisanTony]

Thanks! I'll try to make some more of these videos.

[@rapfreak7797]

[@ArtisanTony]

Thanks!

[@1guyin10]

We always used a piece of OSB to space the header pieces apart. Its about 1/16" short of being wide enough, but functionally it works out fine. Of course with a framing nailer it is a lot easier to put them together without the spacer. With Ye Ole Hammer its a bit more of a challenge.

[@corym239]

Cool video. Awesome computer program too

[@dillonroberts2939]

That was a great video do you have one on making a long wall where you have to build it in sections and stand them up and how to tie two pieces together. like maybe 2 20ft sections on the same side to tire them together?

[@ArtisanTony]

You would just offset the double top plates and nail them together when you stand the twp wall sections up. Do I really have to make a video on that? :) jk

[@corylarin1805]

@@ArtisanTony i was literally googling the same thing and stumbled on your video lol i also was just messing around on sketchup designing my shed but realized i need to learn how to use it first so great video and thanks for answering my man Dillon, (also looking at building a 20 ft wall

[@Troyster94806]

This is the best framing explanation I've ever seen, so I hate to be the only one confused over detail. Shouldn't that 15 1/4 inch be measured from the inside of the wall? As I see it, you'll have 1/2 inch of that 3rd corner stud to nail your sheetrock to. So measuring from the inside corner will automatically place your starting point on center, so when you measure over 15 1/4 inches, and place the stud, overlapping onto that stud by 1/2 inch will give you an over all measurement of 16 inch from edge of inside wall to center of first stud. Then if the next two studs after that are also spaced 16 inches apart on center, you can easily place a 48 inch wide sheet of drywall, with room on the 3rd stud for the next sheet of drywall. I am really confused over the idea of measuring over 15 1/4 inch over from the outside of the wall.

[@ArtisanTony]

The 15 1/4" is measured from the outside of the wall. Just imagine yourself putting up sheathing 4' wide on the outside of the wall and being able to start with whole piece from the corner each way. So you want 4' to the center of the stud where they join. The sheathing does not overlap each other at the corner. They just both come to the corner so you can use this measurement going both ways from the outside of the corner. Honestly it is not critical because you can cut the first piece of sheathing and the rest will work out at 48" but it is nice not having to cut the first piece. By the way, drywall is easier to cut so we always make the outside sheathing work out and not worry about the drywall. Sheathing is hung vertical and drywall is hung horizontal so the dry wall will have to be cut anyway. Hope this helps. Thanks!

[@Troyster94806]

ArtisanTony Yes, I think I understand now. If you start the sheathing right at the outside corner, by starting the row of studs 3/4 of an inch closer to that corner, the sheathing will reach the center of a stud at the other end. And however it works out inside is for the drywallers to deal with.

[@ArtisanTony]

Troy Carpenter yes! :)

How to open a wall and make a door

[@professorbob4849]

This used to make me wonder exactly why they do it this way (and let the drywallers deal with it) I started out working with drywallers. Well, I have the answer (sort of) Basically, SOMEONE is going to have to deal with it. The question is WHO should deal with it? Well, the sheathing is somewhat important in that it helps hold stuff square. It is also a potential blocking point when it comes to other crews. So we want the sheathing to go up fast and efficient. Then the wall insulation can start, the siding can go on at the same time. Even in some areas, the sheathing goes on the walls before raising them. We certainly wouldn't want that part to take any longer than necessary. The sheeting is also a part of drying in the structure, so if someone gets slowed down, we had rather it be later in the job...not one of the first crews. We had rather have one drywall crew slowed down than a sheathing/framing crew...which in turn, delays plumbing, insulators, drywallers, roofers painters electricians etc. Also, cutting and fitting drywall is much easier than cutting and fitting sheathing.

Thank you, that explained it very well. I'll be back for other steps. About to try my first ever project from start to finish (only ever worked with crews as a helper). Building a garage on a slab for my brother. Thanks again.

I have a ranch home with the roofline extended to make a 2 car garage/cover but no walls. Posts & roof are already in place (1 post in each corner, 1 post in middle of left side/wall, same for back side/wall. Home with full exterior wall/siding is connected to make the right side/wall. I want to add walls to enclose the space and make it a true garage instead of carport/covered parking. Could you make a video to walk me through what size lumber I’d need (2x4 or 2x6 studs), making the corners and connections, etc. I would love a window between each of the posts on left & back wall.

[@kytrapping5829]

I was thinking maybe the request was about the overlapping along with the wall lengths. Like on a 12ft x 12ft building the short wall wouldn't be 12x12 and only the top plate that does the overlapping will be 12ft. You would have to reduce the wall size since the bottom plate board will be 2x4's on each end and the wall will fit in the middle. Hope you understand my explanation lol basically just shorten the side walls overall length to fit in between the front and back walls since there's a 2x4 on the front and back unless you build your floor a little larger to make the walls fit at 12' exactly before building

[@kdbloo]

Really helpful video, watching the pros, they tend to gloss over things that are simple to them but profound for us laymen. On the short wall your sheeting starts 3 1/2' away from the first stud so wouldn't you be off sheet for nailing? Also, are additional studs added for interior sheeting, because the exterior point of origin is different from the interior, or do you work with the exterior layout since it's easy to cut sheetrock to length?

[@joelhutchens3361]
