Metal Framing - Tools, Fastening Methods, Fundamentals

[@JSkillazar]

Thanks for making this. It was easy to digest and gives me more confidence in my upcoming project.

[@arhidac]

Good to hear. Good luck with your project. Let us know how it went. Take care.

-One darn good informative video.

[@chrise202]

Simply amazing. So happy I've found this!

Grand Junction CO. I’ve been doing metal stud framing since 2016. I’m 23 Y.O. It’s mostly commercial jobs besides personal home owner jobs.

[@buildingparadisePH]

What gauge is the most common that you're using in projects for structural support?

[@Florida_nikk]

@@buildingparadisePH12 to 14 I believe but non structural is 18 to 22.

[@shamoblamo9625]

I am getting ready to build my home out of steel framing. Cheapest option and easy to install on a small home like mine (single story. Less than 1500 sqft, simple layout and lean-to roofing)

[@dantevanniekerk]

non the less - great informative video, thanks!!! you guys should keep on uploading, your videos would most definitely help people entering the LGS industry to pro's that might have missed something along the years...

[@jenderarevalo]

What's LGS mean?

My Dad built some early (for area) metal home buildings in Sothern California and used Thermosteel from a company in Canada. Special made galvanized steel framing studs with unique truss design to stop thermal transfer. Only made 2 houses before company went belly up for whatever reason. But both houses are still standing today and have had zero issues. Very low cost fire insurance as everything used to build it was fire resistant. Metal studs in these videos look so light and flimsy in comparison. still have some of the material, but can't find any reference online, truly dead company.

[@JohnSmendrovac]

Who cares 😴 use spf wood studs

[@dailyrider2975]

@@JohnSmendrovac wood rots, transfer more heat than special metal, not straight, termites and other bugs, burns, metal lighter and stronger. But other than that..

[@balloney2175]

Too sad, the company closed. We now don't know where to buy the metals.

[@elijahwarmuth1570]

I work for a business called design horizons and we do similar stuff you should look into us and see if this is the same materials

[@sarasultanaqib]

Thank you for this, so so so helpful

[@jenderarevalo]

Sweet love metal framing 👍🏻👍🏻

best video on this topic

[@jenderarevalo]

You dont need a splise when laying down track but good video.. where on KZbin or on line can i learn more?

[@arhidac]

Hi, thanks. There are so many good youtube channels. I personally like Home Renovision DIY kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqarpZuHltN5jMk --- Honest Carpenter www.youtube.com/@TheHonestCarpenter --- Perkins Builder www.youtube.com/@PerkinsBuilderBrothers

​@@arhidacok thank you

[@michaeld954]

can a vaulted celing be done with metal stud framing

[@PopJacare]

absolutely!

[@ConstructionKronies]

Yes I have done 2 metal stud houses with vaulted ceilings.

Hi，Friend，This is Tina from China，We are manufacture of light gauge steel framing.

[@arhidac]

Hi Tine. Nice, how is metal framing business going in Chine ?

[@TinaMa-eb5zv]

@@arhidac Light steel structures are developing very well in China.

[@billlevassiur5891]

Great information

[@arielmortel5798]

Kudos to you. Thanks.

Excellent video regardless.

[@mehranbabaee4576]

Great job, thanks

[@dikkiedik53]

Metal weakens in a fire much quicker than wood. Metal buildings need to be fire protected by fire resistant isolation for fire resistance. I have seen numerous examples of that as a firefighter and police officer.

[@GoatZilla]

you sat there and measured the time?

[@mlw19mlw91]

A safety factor of greater than or equal to 2 is usually sufficient since it'll typically only lose 50% of its strength in your run of the mill fire. Many things are designed with a safety factor of greater than 2. But obviously not everything

[@JustinShaedo]

So, not an engineer (ie expert)?

[@zfwang231]

Yes,it is good for partition walls,and needs caution for structures.

[@Freud_Mayweather]

All beams are sprayed with fireproofing on commercial buildings, the drywall framing, what we're looking at here is lined with non flammable insulation, not many flammable things in a building to get a rager going

[@tonytor5346]

Are circular beams of different diameters available?

[@Nova-m8d]

0:10 The failure in this video begins with the wood subfloor under the light gauge steel walls. So in this case, light gauge steel is completely affected by decay.

[@tunintunin3417]

In Europe we only use this type of framing, but there are other profiles as well…

[@frankortolano5886]

Excellent video

[@sfl6307]

This is cool

[@meshedgears2794]

There are a few mistakes but overall not a bad presentation. -MG

[@thedarkknight4243]

Great information, but the gauge is way too light for strength and floors

[@buildingparadisePH]

Just increase steel to a stronger gauge.

[@Joedex1625]

guys dont weld galvanized metal without proper PPE the gasses are toxic and build up in your system

[@lxxlss]

like it

[@dantevanniekerk]

3:47 - let's no lie to each other, that 's NOT light guage steel right there being welded... (also pretty bad welder: 2/10)

[@hafsalinda]

Uhhhhh rust is decay...

[@captaindoubleblade2415]

Uhhh rot is also decay

3/8ths.. I doubt we can free up 1 and 3 fourths. …? In the middle of the stud. You’ll have to angle that screw to grab on. Sorry. I keep forgetting we’re dealing with metal. Lumber have a character of they own. It splits. Lumber has a mind of its own. Just like being in a romantic relationship

I like the idea of metal framing. I have always been suspicious of wood based framing popularity in the US, and the claims from the logging industry that it is sustainable. If we make it out of green steel this would be much more environmentally friendly than wooden houses.

[@newmandaniel5383]

Very correct

Gibberish. Use metric. Like the rest of the world.

[@fcalin21]

The structure is not good enough for lateral forces.

[@meshedgears2794]

50 years of construction using metal C studs and track would disagree with you.

[@tgreening]

You better let the commercial construction industry know because they’ve been building crap left and right this way for decades.

[@fcalin21]

@@tgreening A strong wind or an earthquake will be enough to destroy it. The lateral braces need stronger conections.

[@tgreening]

@@fcalin21 And at what fine institution did you obtain your Structural Engineering degree which allows you to make this proclamation with such authority?

[@fcalin21]

@@tgreening Comon sense. Compare the structure in the video with an industrial building. You need fewer posts but stronger in order to obtain a good result.
