A Great days Work DEL !!! nice to be in the shade for a while , Great video ........thanks

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Michael🖐A one day reprieve from the sunshine bud, and then back outside to start the last of the lower, wraparound roofs👊Thanks for watching 😎Cheers Del

[@andrewbradbury8527]

Amazing! There's some timber in that house! Goes to show...much better to employ a professional than DIY amateurs! You're a fit chap!😄

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Andrew🖐There's a fair bit of timber in the house, that's for sure😵Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del

[@CML_Carpentry]

don't give people the reason to say it only takes a hour to build all the walls in a house 😂the time is spent laying walls out and checking them make sure you tell people that 😂 love your videos your proper old school chippy not many left, also dunno how u find so many straight studs I get a whole pallet of cls and half is never good enough and then they complain about walls not dead flat like using metal stud work 😂🔨👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Charlie🖐I'm lucky to have a couple of very good timber merchants that supply the timber I use, so only have a few lengths that are rough👍Appreciate your great comment bud, and thanks for watching😎Cheers Del

Del, I am plum tuckered out just watching you; I bet you won't have to take the dog for a walk to get your step count up!

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Michael🖐Yes, the time-lapse does make it all look a bit frantic😵Thanks for your comment😎Cheers Del

[@TomsTimmervan]

Hi Del, I love how you are still cheating with your length, impressive amount of work, and knowing you, aided by preparing everything very well! cheers!

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Tom🖐 Yeah I had set all the plates out prior, so it was just cutting and fixing the studs in👊Thanks for watching😎Cheers Del

[@bhartissimo]

I'm not a carpenter and have never done anything like this, but I am amazed that all that can be done in about an hour. I think if I ever attempted to do that, it might take a whole day or more.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Please don't think that all this work can be done in around an hour😮It was just me cutting in the studs, and there was already the best part of a day setting out all the rooms and stud placements👍Thanks for watching😎Cheers Del

[@bhartissimo]

@@thetallcarpenter I realised that from your reply to Rompestormer's comment. I think it would probably take a whole day just to cut the studs to the right lengths and get them in place.😅

[@denty32]

You certainly made a lot of sawdust, all in the preparation Del, that is some going 👏👏👏👊🏻👊🏻

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Mark🖐I had already spent the best part of a day getting all the plates set out and the stud centres marked up ready for a quick smash in of the studs👊Makes a good show for the guvnors😉Thanks for watching bud😎Cheers Del

That music gets you moving fast ! Thanks for the video del 👍🏻🤣

Great work exactly how my old man does studd work sets his top and bottom plates outt first. I however build on the floor

[@thetallcarpenter]

It's the way I've always done it Anthony👊Cheers Del

[@antonyminshull8037]

I generally work upstairs and him down does this change with you ?

[@antonyminshull8037]

Ultimately with modern day lasers it's fool proof a I agree 👍.

[@thetallcarpenter]

@@antonyminshull8037 I tend always to cut my studs individually Antony👍Habits probably got a lot to do with it🤓

A small fortune in 4B2! Hope your saving the sawdust!

[@thetallcarpenter]

I think it's £4/5 a length now Matthew🤯To be fair though, this was really good, straight stuff, so little to no wastage👊Cheers Del

[@paulfinnonjoinery]

ive been on a stud work job yesterday and today.. first and second floor of a building with particularly tight windy stair cases.. half the day taken with getting plaster board up. sacked off the idea of fetching the kapex up and instead i got my old dewalt dw701 out. much easier

[@thetallcarpenter]

I feel for you Paul😬as I know what its like when there's a tight stair set and you've got to get gear up it😩Props to your old DeWalt👍Thanks for watching bud😎Cheers Del

Hey got a good one for you. When the engineer had went mad and spec’d a triple valley/ hip rafter- you reckon it would be nicer to have the timbers staggered to the angle of roof? Or keep the tops flush to create a beam. Love to know your thoughts. J

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Jonathan🖐For a triple hip I wound cut the dihedral angle on the outer two rafters, and on the valley, I'm not sure 🤔I would probably cut the angle on the outer two and the centre one which will cause the underside of the triple to be uneven, but this could be easily packed out, or the centre one reduced in width a little to make the undersides flush👍Interesting question😵Cheers Del

[@jonathanpincher]

Cheers for the reply. Like the idea for the hip. Only other issue is how much of the wall plate is left after you square it off for a 150 wide member? Would prob need a lapped brace across the corner. I’ll post a vid if I ever get round to doing the job 😅

[@thetallcarpenter]

@@jonathanpincher Good point Jonathan👍And please do send me some pictures on Instagram if you do it, as I'd love to see how it turned out🤞Have a good weekend 😎 Cheers Del

[@mattwilkins5058]

Well that went better than the trusses! You must be happy about that! I see you’ve treated yourself to a new flexvolt mitre saw! 😎 How is it? When I bought a mitre saw, I went with the 12” cordless Milwaukee, basically so I can cut 4” when I need to, not very often admittedly! Only trouble is it’s really big so I don’t always get it out!

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Matt🖐I borrowed that Flexvolt off a buddy as there's no power on this job, and I don't want to be running a genie all day with the current fuel costs😬 Its a cracking saw, but it does throw dust all over the place, and quite a bit back at you😵I would like a cordless mitre saw, but they are quite expensive, and I don't know which brand to go for🤔Thanks for your comment😎Cheers Del

[@SuperWayneyb]

Try the Hikoki 36v double bevel guys it’s a belter 👍👍

[@mattwilkins5058]

@@SuperWayneyb I’m considering getting a smaller one and thats on the list as I have a couple Hikoki batteries from the router 👍🏻

[@Nagantfan762]

@@thetallcarpenter I would recommend the 20v dewalt 7" 1/4 sliding miter saw. It can cut a 2x8 straight and a 2x6 on a 45 degree angle in one pass. Its a fantastic little saw for jobs with no power when cutting typical studes, siding, decking, fascia, or doing trim type work. I have one and use it alot for small odds and ends, or quick jobs. I also like using it for siding as I will put it on the pump jacks or in the fork lift basket and cut right up in the air. the best part about the 20v saw is it has more then enough power when used with lager 20v batteries or the flexvolt batteries and it only weights like 25ish pounds. It is also fairly inexpensive it was around 275 dollars for the bare tool.

[@thetallcarpenter]

@@Nagantfan762 Hi bud🖐Thanks so much for your recommendation of the 20v DeWalt saw🤗I'm going to check it out now👍Cheers Del

Do you ever mix you 1st fix up with build on the floor ?

[@thetallcarpenter]

I rarely make the walls on the floor and stand them in, as the floor to ceiling heights are rarely the same across the whole floor😬The trusses on this roof had a 16mm downward bow 🙄 Cheers Del

[@antonyminshull8037]

This is very true. I run ltd company at 27 mainly doing house bashing I must confess. but your vids I like to show my apprenticeses due to you site basis also

[@dougsaunders8109]

Just curious Del, how do you know they are going in vertically? Not saying they are not BTW but I would need a level Impressive number of studs just shows what good preparation does down the line

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Doug🖐 I set the plates out first for 400mm centres and door ways, so it was just bashing the studs in to do👊 Thanks for your comment😎Cheers Del

Must help being about 12 feet tall! Being a short arse i'd spend most of my time up and down a pair of steps or dragging a hop up around! 😂😂 Did you mark all your stud centres out before shooting the vid?

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Rob🖐 Yes, being tall is certainly advantageous when marking the to top of the studs to length👊 And you're quite right that all the plates w had already been set out for 400mm centres and door opening, so it was a very quick to just bosh the studs in💪Thanks for watching😎Cheers Del

[@iantaylor6538]

Wouldn't it be easier if you started as far away from the saw as possible and worked back towards it, then you don't have to manouvere timber studs. around walls you have already built

[@thetallcarpenter]

It's so much easier to start at the furthest point from the cutting station and work your way back as it saves a lot of walking round studs like you say👊 Trouble is, it doesn't make for a very good video so I had to do this one back to front which was more awkward😬These are the sorts of things that I have learnt I've got to do since I started filming my work👍Thanks for your comment and for watching 😎 Cheers Del
