Quick Metal Stud Framing Tutorial

[@mattski1979]

Your framing's sick. Great job explaining it as well. Wasn't intending on watching a video about this but here we are. Good stuff sir. Thank you.

[@ConstructionKronies]

Super cool man thank you🙏

Szív és érrendszeri megbetegedések száma azonban nem tudom mi van veled is van egy olyan kérdésem???

[@kermitefrog64]

Thank you. We need more videos like this. I just wish that Lowes and Home Depot had more to offer when it comes to metal studs. There is a lot of great ideas on construction on KZbin but our local stores have very little to offer.

[@ConstructionKronies]

That's okay, there is most likely a drywall supply house close by that you can get it. Just google drywall supplier for your area and see what pops up. They will have everything drywall, metal stud of all sizes, gauge, any height, drywall, insulation, drywall compound and everything taping. They will also have ceiling grid, tools and equipment all related the trade. Let me know if you need help finding a place👍

[@pusokongpinas6965]

total newb trying to gain info and skills before finishing our last two floors this was informative. For outside walls will I need to have cross blocks I see many videos with no cross blocks and some with 16inch spacing from top to bottom seems overkill now that I finished the first floor of my Mothers unit. 2x3 studs with FCB walls on a concrete column and frame. For second floor with loft and trying to figure if those cross block are really necessary.

[@ConstructionKronies]

Carrying channel is all you need. Always a good idea for all steel stud walls. 16" o.c. is standard spacing in America. I hope that answers your question!

[@zeferinomarlus]

Do you have a video about vertical bracing on a load bearing steel framed wall?

[@ConstructionKronies]

Not sure if I do specifically but check out my framing playlist I'm sure you'll find lots of info

[@10nesche]

Sorry if this is a dumb question. Why do you run your drywall behind the wall, rather than putting a nailer in the corner and running your track all the way into the corner?.... I have done loads of wood framing and thats what we've always done. But never metal stud framing.

[@ConstructionKronies]

Not dumb at all! In these situations it's always nice to have the option of running your sheet through or cutting into halfway behind the stud to maximize drywall coverage or then opposite save a cut. In this specific spot you are also closing the garage side off completely and starting the new wall in the inside of the house. Wood is solid so it would close it off better but even with wood we wood still want drywall behind the corner stud to close off the garage side or I'm other situations it could be another unit or hallway to a building.... hard corners can always be used in interior walls but floaters are a benefit to using steel stud. Hope that helps!

[@gubski1]

Thank you for your video! I'm in Calgary and was looking for metal stud framers. Are you available or can refer someone who is as good at it as you?

[@ConstructionKronies]

I am actually available for a job, we have a big one kinda started but it's a little way out until we are full send. Email me [e-mail] and I'll send you my phone number or send me yours and I will call you.

[@TheOutlawGeneralBacon]

QUESTION. Can, metal studs be welded?. Can metal studs be bolted to wood (truses, floor boards etc) example running off ceiling for a garage extension? 🤔🤔

[@ConstructionKronies]

Sure why not. We screw them right to wood all the time just using 1-1/4" drywall screws.

[@TheOutlawGeneralBacon]

@@ConstructionKronies awesome. Thank you , I mean it makes sense, but just wanted to ask a pro. I'm not certified only certifiable..

[@MatthewBester]

I noticed no horizontals? Doesn't the metal stud need noggins? Not sure what they are called in US.

[@ConstructionKronies]

yes carrying channel every 4 ft! A lot of times these guys are cheep but dont let them be!!

[@MatthewBester]

@@ConstructionKronies Carrying Channel! Is that 4ft from ground?

[@curious6996]

In the end, I noticed a horizontal metal going between the studs holes. Is this a type of bracing ?

[@ConstructionKronies]

Sort of, it's called carrying channel, acts as a wall stiffener and holds the insulation up in the wall. We put it in every 4' at the knockouts when the wall is insulated or you can put 1 run through the middle of short walls if it's only needed to stiffen (keep the studs square)

[@brunomotorato]

Good morning, I'm going to build a platform that underneath will be like storage and will have a large table for lunches and above it will be a viewpoint to enjoy the view while having a drink. You will have to deal with a lot of people on top. Can you help with this? Thanks

[@ConstructionKronies]

Sure can. If you would like to send me an email with your plan, even if it's rough I can tell what material to use and all that good stuff. [e-mail]

[@randellbadger8193]

Do you have videos on t-bar ceilings?

[@ConstructionKronies]

Not yet no. I am flying to Ottawa in a week to shoot a couple tho. I will have a video done at the end of August.

[@cruiserchrisworldnetwork4141]

A construction cronies I would like to thank you for giving us the lay of the land and the 411 on what it is that you do

[@ConstructionKronies]

Thanks my man! Nice to meet you! I saw you last night on the Treetrimmer stream I believe?

[@Ezam-z]

Hi sr What gauge do you use now

[@ConstructionKronies]

Yes hello! I use what ever gauge is specified in the construction documents (drawings or specifications) 25gauge is standard light gauge, 20 gauge us heavier and is also common for interior partitions. All exterior walls are 16 or 18 gauge.

[@georgenavarro8886]

Any recommendations if its my first time doing metal stud framing?

[@ConstructionKronies]

Yes your in the right place. Just learn as much as you can. I've trained many great journeyman over the years and even engineers and architects pay me for consulting. Just keep watching and ask questions along the way. Be a good worker and in 5 years time you'll be all set to go out on your own if that's what you want or be a foreman even.

[@georgenavarro8886]

@@ConstructionKronies nice thx man i will see your videos

[@rong2715]

Hi Chris, great videos. I watched many of them as I gear up to tackle a project in my house: wood stove alcove. Quick question. My ceilings are just over 9 feet. I bought 10 foot steel studs. I need to cut them to length but discovered that the place I need to cut them is near or through a knockout. Is that permitted? How do I handle this situation? Thanks

[@ConstructionKronies]

Yes it is perfectly normal to have a cut at a Knockout, if you want to avoid that cut some off the bottom then cut your length, I do this sometimes to keep the strength. Either way just keep the knockouts at the same elevations to run wires or channel.

[@Dragon_Thunderstrike]

I hate to sound like a newbie, but I am, lol, I know what a laser level is, and I can see and understand what a line laser is, but i do not know what you mean by a pin laser when you talk about getting your walls and doorways right. Can you please educate me? Thanks.

[@ConstructionKronies]

No worries bro man thanks for the question the pin is a dot that shoots only 1 direction, no line just a dot. We used them all the time before line lasers now lines are so good we use them and multiple at a time for everything This is apart of the layout on the ground so we can first hang them in the right spot

[@AhmonBryant]

That hole in the studs I know you have a video buried can you share the link 😅 explaining the furring clips?

[@ConstructionKronies]

I do have many actually good call. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIaag6WPrdmMkK8si=ytWyWtr2eZvT1Btw that video is one.

[@georgeomalley6066]

Your video's fly bye, so Much Information to take in, love the channel

[@ConstructionKronies]

Thanks man I appreciate the comment 👍

[@peterxyz3541]

Where do you find metal studs? How should I source metal studs?

[@ConstructionKronies]

Best way is to go through a local drywall supply house like Foundation Building Material or Brock White. I don't recommend going to a box store like Home Depot for them because the have extremely limited stock.

[@manlaipurevdorj8209]

Hi, how do you attach and seal vapor barrier on metal stud

[@ConstructionKronies]

Yes good question. What I do is use framing screws. I take the tabs from some drywall, screw the wafers through them and cut them so there's like a washer just little squares of the drywall tabs. Also I use 4"x4" pieces of drywall to initially hang the poly at the top with 1-1/4" drywall screws get it hung with those screw it off, caulk it and then rake those pieces of drywall off. Tape it up all done.

[@masonbell2929]

[@bubba11793]

What gauge metal do you use for your structural studs for residential?

[@ConstructionKronies]

16 gauge mostly sometimes 18.

[@leronjames3346]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It's always appreciated! I was wondering if you have the intention to retake and remake the Tezyzy framing tool ?

[@ConstructionKronies]

Your welcome my man! I am exploring options with a possible new partner to design a lighter more cost effective version yes.

[@mojonojo3]

do you have a make and model number of pin lasers you recomend?

[@ConstructionKronies]

Hilti pm 2-p is the best pin laser and the pm2-lg is my line laser.

[@jonathangarrett312]

I’m having to install 45 degree braces on free float partition walls. What type of clips to attach angles

[@ConstructionKronies]

Just cut a steel stud, measure the length for.brace then add 4 to 6" on both ends cut the side flanges only bend one end in and fasten to structure them bend the other end the other way and attach to wall. Hope that helps..

[@wecomeinpeace5082]

What video would you recommend for someone just starting interior?

[@ConstructionKronies]

Expert Metal Stud Framing Training For All Levels: kzbin.info/aero/PLRtmYu3z-FENOxNCqdjW0ey47mSNc5Klm the first few videos for sure then explore but they all can teach you stuff.

[@Texasmule]

How to read blueprints?

[@ConstructionKronies]

Shoot me an email, I can teach you if you'd like, make sure to watch my playlists on it and contract documents. We can work something out!

[@MatthewMcCulley-p7i]

good job

[@destroyer5153]

iam a wood frammer by heart and i got hired for a metal stud framming lead for next week..sheesh,,never done metal stud before

[@ConstructionKronies]

I was all wood before steel. It was weird at first but I find having the wood background gives you an edge. We do have solutions to many of the problems that arise. Good luck man!

Good Grief... I'm 2 minutes in and wondering if I've suffered a head injury. Why do none of the measurements hes saying match what he's marking on the tape measure?!

[@ConstructionKronies]

Always listen to what I say, the camera angle always effects what you see on screen. It would have to be a set up shot to see it proper. That's why I say it or put up a graphic. I know it can be confusing.
