NEVER trust a slab Stabila LAX600g

‪@STABILAOfficial‬ LAX600g crossline laser with rechargeable battery. Quick to set up, the principle applies to whatever laser you use. A level landing without taking a lot of time.

It's nice to see someone in construction who isn't totally miserable lol props to you sir

[@gregjorda3080]

Indeed...slabs are almost never level

[@jacobaguilar6756]

his sense of humor is infectious just seems to be going with the flow all the time

[@heyjuanburritos4794]

I’m the SCAT MANNN!! Classic song. Had to rewatch the short a couple times to see if I was actually hearing you having scat man playing on the job site. You the man

[@KA-om9oz]

Nasty...the poop man? What's wrong with you😮

[@kdegutis]

Awesome, I’ve been to LAX, it’s not always stabila there. Good content Framers.

[@2brazy4ubitch]

i’ve heard of this “lax”….. but i still have sufficient bowel function at the moment so i never dug deeper (so to speak). thanks, awesomeframers, i owe you, you got me through a real challenging poop today.

[@dhammer5645]

I just would have measured off the floor above everywhere. If it ain't level, you got no one to blame but the framer.

[@tsutomaspacheco7451]

Yes you can blame the framing but framers will blame concrete, we build off concrete and throw string lines from side to side tight as a guitar chord and it will still not all be perfectly plane top plates. Assuming it should be level just isn't the case due to small variances everywhere

[@edappi8172]

I must have missed where he measured down to the slab?????

[@metroman93f27]

The floor is not level, he is measuring from the Lazer level, so the landing is perfectly level.

[@svdesertdepartedjoe9621]

Why do I watch these framed houses for 30 years but nice job I just get sucked in

[@Ellron23]

I have that ladder in 8' and it's nice and stable but heavier than ideal. I never thought about it but it would make a great 4 footer

[@wcbscout]

Awesome framer you are!

[@CrustyAbsconder]

But the Earth's surface is curved ?

[@whirled_peas]

NEVER trust the earth then

[@spock59]

I like how he measures to the 1/16”. That’s one of the many things that makes him awesome! 👏

[@elgoog7830]

Why would you measure to 32nd? My dad and one my uncles, always went to the 32nd or 64th. Very annoying to work with, if you don't carry their passion.

[@2brazy4ubitch]

eh round to the nearest inch should d--(drops phone through sinkhole in second floor)

[@dfazen89]

Shooot with tile we measure down go the 1/32nd of an inch heavy or light lol

[@rickybus8525]

Well in EU we measure down to 1 millimeter ( 3/64) and thats standard.

[@BryanL1982]

​@True to the End if they can cut studs and joists and rafter to within a 1/64th using a wormdrive I'd be very impressed. 1/16 th heavy or light is all the accuracy required typically

[@jamesonkruger6989]

I do lots of these too. You should get the tripod that can crank up-and-down it is awesome.

[@TheRegularPodcastKilo]

It's funny how the residential construction industry considers these lasers "perfectly level". I worked at a Topcon supplier and did maintenance on lasers. Lol these types of lasers are cheap and road construction people would NEVER trust them. They are like paperweights compared to what they use.

[@azdeh1894]

I've been having my doubts with my cheap bosch laser..but don't trust my bubble levels either lol

[@TheRegularPodcastKilo]

@Azdeh lol there's another level (pun intended) of lasers that most folks don't know about. They cost a bit more tho. The cheap ones were about $600 when I was working in the field in 2016.

[@jaywiebe7612]

​@@azdeh1894we use Stabila bubble levels and I trust them more than any others we've used. But they're only as good as you are at reading the bubble. Our lasers are the 3 way Milwaukee and we've never had any trouble with em.

[@timmyCOD]

What lasers do you recommend then?

[@TheRegularPodcastKilo]

@el baddo if you're a DIY'er, the type in the video is fine. But if you are a professional in the construction industry, I would go ahead and invest in at least a Topcon RL-SV2S or better.

[@ronaldfox8520]

Never trust the co worker with a saw😂

[@pattygreen8064]

me: grabs a scrap piece of 2x4 cuts it to the right length and uses it to measure down from subfloor. cost about 30 seconds of man hours , bit cheaper and faster than those stupid lasers.

[@javierbaier2484]

Argentina los admira

[@musharioh]

A bald guy with glasses! tell me you didn't trust him instantly. I know i did

[@thatjoeguy7348]

Even if I had a laser back when I did stairs I wouldn't waste the time setting it up I'd still just calculate my risers then measure down (for the platform) from where the stairs would meet the top floor and level across to where the deck is going to go. Probably in less time then it took him to set the ladder up and turn the laser on. LOL

[@sethvogel9378]

Had to take some of your stairs out the other day. Bout as un even as your hairline. Don’t worry I used a laser to rebuild them 👍🏼

[@iComplainer]

holy jeezis how many cameras on this guy

[@aaronmyers4054]

Is the deck not level?

[@zacharyolds1639]

I don’t trust god over my laser module

[@RTeBokkel]

I hear a Dewalt.

[@emilechap8573]

I have no audio on my computer, then I tried my cell phone and got perfect audio, wired. Thx Tim for sharing your knowledge.

[@emilechap8573]

Wierd not wired

[@paulmonk7820]

Why not set the laser at the height you need?

[@AwesomeFramers]

There's no need and it takes longer to dial it right in. All we need is level.

[@timmyCOD]

@@AwesomeFramers takes two seconds longer? Lmfao. You can get it in the right spot before you measure your four corners if you know how to use the thing 😂

[@AwesomeFramers]

@@timmyCOD you'd have to have an adjustable tripid. Dialing it in will take as long as shown here. If you have the skills, then post a video.

[@timmyCOD]

@@AwesomeFramers I don’t have a tripod because a lot of frames I use are steal here 😢 but you could always just screw in a small sheet of metal roughly to where you want it to be, and stick your lazy to it and adjust it perfectly, if it has a magnetic base of corse which most do these days. Or. Just use a tripod.. 😂

[@AwesomeFramers]

@@timmyCOD it isn't worth the time. Why are you arguing about this?

[@RH-cv1rg]

Maybe the title should have been, "never trust your 2nd floor height". I never saw him measure to the slab or show where the slab was uneven.

[@corbancaldwell5972]

why bother when you got the laser. the inaccuracy of the laser is much tighter than the finish of a slab. mine also has the vertical line or both vertical and horizontal lines. handy tool if you can afford it.

[@chillpillology]

“top of my deck” does not seem level. maybe its the shot

[@fikalaredo5762]

How rude of them to interrupt your video with those obnoxious power tools

[@emilechap8573]

Tim there’s no audio,for me anyway.Stabila make good levels .Thx Tim.

[@Jack-OfAll-Trades]

audio works for me, odd

[@sidefack]

I wonder how many more months Awesome framers are going to continue having audio problems.

[@Jack-OfAll-Trades]

no audio issues here

[@AwesomeFramers]

works on my computer, phone and tablet. It also is the same file uploaded to Instagram with no issues.

[@sidefack]

@@AwesomeFramers Almost every video I've watched of yours has had the voice audio play only in the left ear.

[@AwesomeFramers]

@@sidefack is that on every device you've watched it on? or certain devices?

[@sidefack]

@@AwesomeFramers Watching on desktop the audio recorded on site is left ear only, but voice over audio plays correctly.

[@GrimOfDonuts]

Assuming your ladder alone is actually flat/level

[@AwesomeFramers]

Nope the laser self levels

[@Ste2023]

Typical site sounds

[@bigbuck2720]

Why not just mark down and use regular level and mark lines, sorry got to make video with laser, is the deck level, if so just measure down, oh sorry stabilla promotion

[@AwesomeFramers]

Nope this isn't a Stabila promotion. This is showing how to use any laser. They are more accurate and faster. It's foolish not to use lasers

[@charlesviner1565]

👍🤣

[@Joesdifferent]

Say what 😆😆😆

[@rfauske]

I want one of those to replace my DeWalt..

[@yourfacelookslikebut]

What going on with your dewaltie

[@daneidsmoe3542]

You want the Leica laser... if you want better than stabila..also the best way to make sure your lasers and transit scopes are reliable Is to send them In routinly to get calibrated.

[@rfauske]

@@yourfacelookslikebut Nothing special, just want something new :)

[@CH67guy1]

I’m looking for a good laser to use around my farm and home. Two tasks currently: install a new track for the sliding doors on my 150 year old barn, and excavate inside my 4,000 square foot workshop / tractor shed to prepare for heated floor and concrete pour. Any suggestions for me? I’ve seen contractors use them at my property but never got details on what they were using and their thoughts on them. Thank you!

[@2centsam927]

five sixteenths. yeah right buddy.

[@fried0nion503]

It's the little line between quarter inch and three eighths on the tape measurer, not like he's trying to eye ball 32nds or 64ths on the Fatmax. The good ol 1/4+ for laymen buddy.

[@mikes1292]

Impacts are anoying

[@mjnelligan7288]

If u you did your job right your top plates are level so pull down….. ahhhduhhh also saves u a few 100$ a framer does not need a line laser plumb yea…

[@AwesomeFramers]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 you missed the point completely. Also this laser can be and is used for other things. All of which save time and money. Embrace the 21 century bro

[@StabbyMcStabwood]

How did you manage to upload a single channel audio short in current year? You have a former profession as a producer for a local news station or something? You know most of your shorts audience is mobile users, and probably half of mobile users have a listening device in only 1 ear.

[@stevecarter7653]

As soon as he said 3/16 I tuned out. That measurement doesn’t exist in framing. A 16th. Laughable.

[@AwesomeFramers]

It doesn't exist? I think you should get your vision checked.
