How To Set An Edge Form - Spec House EP.08

[@21rhocke]

Watching this series has been like receiving a small-scale and summarized application of the past 4 years of my CE education all in 1 hour. I can't wait to see more. Thank you.

[@Rouverius]

Did this kind of stuff during the summers as a younger man. Now a few decades into a white collar job, these videos makes my hands itch to throw a hammer again. Glad to be joining you in this journey.

[@rightlanehog3151]

I have a similar story but I wonder how we would feel if this video was shot in a miserable windy drizzle at about 2 degrees above freezing.

[@Rouverius]

Good point. That's what got me to look for a desk job in the first place ;)

[@rightlanehog3151]

I feel your pain.

[@rayeddy528]

Thanks Scott and Nate !!! Be safe and God bless you all !!!!!!!! Eddy

[@thejalderman]

Keep these videos coming. I don’t care what they are about. They’re great 👍🏻

[@scottclute9547]

Scott the Quality is excellent!!!!

[@yukineswan]

This guy is awesome. I love the ax video he made.

[@remilaurin9324]

the nail on an angle @ 7:30 resting on the form that is set already. great idea! you have just shown me something very useful!

[@Homeskillet-mk6bj]

I noticed that! Very slick!

[@jarvusff7726]

How did he fasten that nail to the board...

[@Homeskillet-mk6bj]

I was gonna say that he toenailed it but after closer inspection, it looks like he drove the nail in part-way and then bent it over.

[@jarvusff7726]

Sid Vicious ehhh YESS that makes complete sense haha I couldn't figure it out. It didn't look bent at first

[@scruffy6151]

i agree

[@sniper69714]

Love your channel, im a contractor up in British Columbia and I stole your trick with the loggers tape, great tip

[@ecrusch]

I'm learning a lot of new terminology from this site. And yes Scott, I am telling my friends to watch and subscribe. And EVERY SINGLE ONE of these videos gets a click on the thumbs up button. You know why? Because they deserve it...honest.

[@nolanconville6523]

Christ dude, I think he's already married

[@scruffy6151]

easy and fast way to set form boards. i will put this in my computer in my head. thank you for the information. stay safe.

[@scruffy6151]

I like your story pole

[@timothygavin3132]

great video ec! thanks for providing good entertainment

[@yz9236]

Here as an architecture student and I am learning more here from every video you have than at the university. Much appreciated!

[@casycasy5199]

i learn more all the time. your a great teacher

[@ricdenali4213]

Can’t wait for the next video!!

[@justdem69]

Have you considered mounting a couple of time lapse GoPros in the trees or even erecting a flagpole off to the side to get some whole side sots in HD to use for lime lapse, wide shots, progressions, intros, and Monday night football type on screen drawings during explanations? Could really make some of these videos pop visually having a resource like that to draw from. A drone could be nice but can be time consuming. This way you have a reasonable constant flow of content to pull from another couple of angles. Just a thought. Keep up the good work, upload every day! Keep em watching :)

[@RobertClontz]

Where was this video 10 years ago :). Thanks for the tips, I think the project is going to be awesome to watch.

[@MD-cd7em]

Keep it up Scott...Appreciate you!

[@alpham777]

Square stakes are the real MVP here. Also the bent nail trick to hold the one end of the board is brilliant.

[@jasonkraus2831]

I've done a fair bit of DIY remodeling and building but never done cement work. Not that I'll be qualified to do it on the scale you're doing it now, Scott, but I feel like I'm getting enough info to maybe try some small form work. It sounds silly, but I have a koi pond that a previous owner put in at my house and I've been thinking of finding a way to pour a cement rim around it to help keep leaves and kids out. Love the vids. Looks like I need to find some square stakes.

[@johnidaszak7047]

You make such a good teacher. Keep the videos coming.

[@BigLindy93]

I'm continuing to learn so much useful information from you #EssentialCraftsman. Thanks so much!

[@snells-window]

Am I enjoying binging on watching these videos! I have no plans to build but am learning lots along the way, with some great little tips thrown in

[@wildmanofthewynooch7028]

love that you are sharing some great wisdom

[@trevorstudent4625]

Awesome job Scott we love your videos

[@zacharypelett6019]

We love your concrete vids! Also from Oregon! Thanks for the tips.

[@dandoma604]

7:35 Absolutely love these little tricks and practicalities.

[@coltjansen]

Please do more concrete forming instruction videos. I love ur style of explaining everything. Just enough reason why & history of.

[@KnTRBnD]

Took me an hour to find this video... exactly what I was looking for in the other “informational” videos.. BOSS, I LOVE YOU... Thank you 💪🏽🤙🏽

[@ChrisCurious]

I really want to see a picture of your closet, I imagine it would be tan button-up shirts and blue Carhartt dungarees, just like a superhero

[@dannysulyma6273]

Like Fonzie ;-)

[@jameshenry2457]

Don't have to waste brain power trying to decide what to wear.

[@biggest23]

Surely you're just "Mrs Craftsman" or even more appropriately considering the Fonzie comparison, "Mrs C"

[@mdgriffith7]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. I know it is a lot of work. I have learn so much.

[@stamrly418]

It is great to see a craftsman man at work, one who knows what he is doing.....having one that can explain what and why is magical. A person who is giving back to us the www. His experience which is in valuable. God on ya marra. Geordie for mate colleague companion.

[@Whipple1]

I formed concrete for four years on a road crew and on several industrial projects in the late 70s and early 80s. Always struggled with round road pins. Never thought there was anything else available. We just used what the foreman gave us to use. Learned more from your videos about forming techniques than anyone ever taught me on the job. Sure wish I knew then, what I knew now. Thank you very much for sharing your pool of knowledge.

[@jerrysmith9780]

It's a Sunday morning and what a way to learn in a relaxed environment. Thank you EC, you're a god man.

[@Ilikesifsif]

You guys genuinely have something special here. I love it!

[@OU8Aspark]

I like the nail trick to hold the board up on one end.

[@SawdustandWood]

Good video, cant wait to see the rest!

[@Valkson1]

Those videos are awesome! He could make a rusted nail interresting

[@beauhudson8656]

Amazing. Thanks for all your informative videos.

[@JerkRice]

More good stuff. Great to see each step in the process.

[@JohnMGibby]

I am loving these vids. They can't come fast enough Scott! Great Work.

[@joshyingling]

My dad and i always hammered our stakes down below the top of the form so we could screed seamlessly, and used wooden stakes for the angled supports

[@bonanzatime]

Joshua Yingling - Guys who do concrete flat work for a living are rarely bothered by any stakes getting in the way. In fact, they rarely use nails in their formwork (to make it easier to remove). Like playing pool, they're always thinking several shots ahead. .. wah ha haa

[@mindblah]

Using a nail on the end of the board to hang off an already hung board. Nice little trick as well. :)

[@Cormack88]

mindblah that trick helps alot when framing roofs suck as sub facia and facia

[@clintdoucette170]

mindblah i seen that also! nice little trick there!

[@GoodtimesDJsoundtech]

If you go back and take a look at some of his early videos of when he built the shed, he shows that trick and a few others! Good stuff!!

[@bobshepler]

Awesome content as always! You're a great teacher!

[@HeartAndHand1688]

I'm from the UK so great to see different building techniques. Great video as always.

[@FrankSiler]

Greetings from another Douglas County- Kansas.

[@aletoledo1]

This is good stuff. I'm sure this is old hat for you, but it's all new for me.

[@RelentlessHomesteading]

Short & sweet! Thanks

[@boatmaninc]

Nice footage of the Sears Diehard boots at work.

[@mikef8769]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge Scott. A lifetime earned. Thanks... Mike.

[@tankmeltedargon8831]

Loving this series and learning a lot. Thanks from Australia

[@63256325N]

Kinda looks like you know what you're doing. Thanks for the video, looking forward to more.

[@shabeerkhan2824]

I love your videos man very educational.

[@galhillel100]

Can wait to see another video of yours

[@SchmackyJoel]

It reminds me of my days working concrete. I don't miss them.

[@79DJB]

Looks like Nate is on the tools as well and hence a great (in both size and happines) father son project. Both of you keep up the awesome work and best of luck moving forward. Well done gentleman, another wonderful episode.

[@counterMnn]

This guy is phenomenal. Super insightful. Wish I had him as a foreman . Great work. Thank you.

[@wilsonaguirregomez3751]

Another wonderful production by Essential Craftsman! Thank you.

[@TheMixmastamike1000]

This is so cool to see I hope there is a lot more videos like this to come

[@debbieford8542]

Just "discovered" your channel and enjoying the videos v much. You have a natural teaching style and years of experience that is priceless. what a shame we can't work at that speed in real life. I'm not building a new house from scratch, just an old stable block but your videos have been really helpful as I have no building experience whatsoever but as I was quoted £8-10k for a 5x3m building and £3k for fencing the wood (about 50m perimeter) and that isn't a fixed price, I need to learn. Wouldn't mind but the stable is only used for dry storage of wood, rains a tad more here in Scotland.

[@Uglier.]

Yes I’m binging the entire series.

[@domesday1535]

As somebody who has spent hours whacking boards with a hammer to get nails out those nails you're using with little feet below the head look pretty handy for temporary structures like those forms

[@graemescott990]

Another magic video! I'm learning so much thanks :-)

[@andystanfield7349]

Yo, ur the goat old man

[@jeffbenson6102]

Nice! Thanks for all the great info!

[@EFD620G]

Saw the bent nail trick a few years ago,was amazed I got to that age without seeing it. A carpenter was putting up forms for a driveway pour. Then I showed him how to find level over long distances with a garden hose filled with water.(His laser level quit working) We both learned something that day.

[@JamesStJohn-zn6uy]

Good Job. Nice Work my Brother...

[@ladywillowtreewysp6288]

I Love that you take the time to explain terms and “Little things” for newbs like me that are really trying to follow along and learn. Thank you!!😁

[@israelgonzalez8894]

your a master my friend!

[@MrCoaster36]

Longer videos please. Get that knowledge out there!

[@eng.knowledgeseeker]

awesome job , thanks for sharing your experience

[@kengamble8595]

👍👍 Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@chevellechris1]

Scott, another great video. quick request, near the end you set a long board by yourself with a nail toenailed and bent over i guess on the very end - could you add that to one of your tip videos, looked like a neat trick!

[@LeftOne23]

wish I could work that fast. thanks for the info!

[@callmesyoma]

My friend, thank you for this series. Great to learn from you!

[@ttop2385]

You're my hero

[@pixelbender896]

Oh and its called a toe side or heel side, for future reference. The Heel side of the wall is like your heel, it supports the weight of the wall from falling over. The toe side is the skinny side.

[@EliasMK46]

These videos could be an hour long for the same amount of information and I would still watch them. Learning so much, keep them coming!

[@dhmnuts]

I've been waiting for this!

[@makattak88]

Thanks for the tips.

[@lewerim]

I love that you share the time saving tricks an apprentice learns on the job. Thanks for sharing this project. I hope it inspires some youngster to do something.

[@steveyknoxville]

You are amazing. Love getting your tips and tricks. A true master at work. Thank you for your efforts to share.

[@nickb.237]

Could watch your videos all day. Learn so much in each one. Keep them coming please!

[@giovannifiorentino8947]

Very nice tricks close ups!

[@whateverittakesfabrication2202]

GOOD STUFF!

[@doinjusfine1]

You make me want to change careers.. I have been a diesel mechanic all my life but really love to build..

[@Homeskillet-mk6bj]

It wouldn't be any easier on your back, but I hear you

[@johnbutcher867]

I wish I could work with you and glean all of your knowledge.

[@zeedevil4409]

I miss framing. Many great summers

[@tsuchang1]

Wow, you are a hard worken guy.

[@TheRdf91]

Can you make some t shirts or hoodies with your logo on them? That would be sweet, love this Channel!

[@websitesthatneedanem]

What a great series!

[@zechariahhenderson9859]

More vids please!! Don’t stop making them, learning a lot more

[@gretchman]

I have no reason whatsoever to know how to do this, but I feel like a better person for learning it...

[@roxydog2004]

Yes

[@TheRevWillNotBeTelevised]

Wish these vids were longer!

[@speedbuggy16v]

Great tips, Thank You! Even the ones we had to watch for like the duplex nail in the top of the form board folded over to keep it in line with the last one!

[@NSMike87]

I feel like you missed an opportunity to promote your square stakes video. :)

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

I think theres something to be said about presenting yourself clean and pressed at the jobsite, within reason. You do it beautifully. You always look great Please throw a rivit in that pocket thats hanging LOL

[@rockwelldaniels5826]

I like driving the stake down to grade after nailing.

[@GrouseHiker]

Good stuff!
