Great videos. Did you do one that shows how you built an angled (135°) corner?

[@ConstructionKronies]

Yes sir, I talk about it here in this live stream on site kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYTYpnpqo8ypabM and I think this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/enWUemifat6qZqM

Can you make a video talking about control lines and where to start layout with everything square

[@ConstructionKronies]

Yes my next live stream will cover this👍

[@RaymondGettler723]

How about showing a video, indicating layout, where the two walls come at a 135°, with the reference point, using the method of 57in 5/16, to get your degrees. I'm curious to learn how to do two walls coming in at two different angles with a reference point. I know and am familiar with how to measure degrees. But just want to see how that one would be done. Thank you brother.

[@ConstructionKronies]

Yeah bro!! I am setting up to do another live stream and will be sure to include this in that👍

If I am tying in a new wall to an existing wall that already has drywall what is the proper way to secure the new studs to the existing wall?

[@ConstructionKronies]

Shoot a line laser up the wall and screw the stud to the wall with drywall screws. What I do if no stud is in the wall we are tying to the I angle my screws toward the outside of the stud using 1-1/4" screws every 2 feet put 2 screws screwing out the opposite way from each other. Be sure to also screws them in the top and bottom track if you can. Hope that helps! For light gauge use regulars fine thread and heavy use self tapers. You can even go to 2" screws for double layer walls.

Thanks

Here’s a question I have. What two angles would you cut your metal studs to make up a 135 degree angle?

@@ConstructionKronies thank you. I also have another question for you. I down residential my entire life I am knew to commercial and metal framing. Some people tell me you layout 16 on center, some people say 16 5/8? Which one is it? I understand why they say 16 5/8 because of the Sheetrock. But if it is 16 5/8 is it every wall you lay out like that. Or just the ones that will have a slap stud? And if I do layout 16 5/8 then I would pull from the outside of the plate like in wood framing I would pull from where my Sheetrock is going to hit the other sheet on the inside corner?

[@ConstructionKronies]

yes figure out which way you want to start and go 16 then if its 5/8 or 1/2 go 16-5/8 or 16-1/2 off.

[@adrianbarrera9961]

That works for wood framing not metal so yeah I agree to many studs

[@johnnaughton866]

What exactly is a "hard corner"?

[@ConstructionKronies]

A hard corner is when you use 2 studs to form the corner instead of the one floater.

[@thomasanderton2057]

Wrong lol.

[@philp3914]

That’s a lot of studs for no reason.

[@ConstructionKronies]

Wow your a negative nancy, this is the third comment you are wrong about. I teach the correct way and your statement here is actually completely false, if you dont use floaters you need even more studs for hard corners. I am open to debate always, this is the first time someone accused me of using too many, usually guys say not enough.

[@thomasanderton2057]

Definitely a lot of studs for no reason! Haha. This is NOT the correct way lol. Trust and believe, if you think this is correct then you need to check out some accredited schooling for commercial framing.
