Roof Framing Simplified in 5 EASY Steps!

Your choice of speed up and commenting over it is perfect

Your videos are perfect for me. I love framing ,so your videos are never boring to me. Your singing ,and having fun on the job doesn’t bother me. I have music on the job except when I have to concentrate on layout and thinking about stuff. Love your good teaching, and tips. Your my awesome framer. Thanks Tim.👍👍👍👍

[@charlieBhoy72]

I love a mixture -- good to see you explain, then show and then watch you complete the task (sped up) I think the balance you have is pretty much spot on. imho

[@chrisgibson8892]

Great video. Would really like to see the rest of the process for this porch roof..blocking, hangers etc..Thanks for the content!

[@soccovitch]

You seem to be picking the perfect time to speed up the footage. Explain it once and then speed on through it. Especially if you are giving input over the top of it. Came out perfectly clear as to what you are doing.

[@xCoolBreezex]

Yeah was thinking the same about the 2x8 and 2x12 Its got more surface area for fasteners great for sheer forces Feels good to overbuild sometimes

Hey Tim in my past life ; once upon a time in a far far away place I had a friend who was a member of the “ Green Team” ( if you don’t know Google it). He was thee nicest guy, totally helpful, and in a room of a 100 ppl never would you pick him out as that “ Guy”. Bout 170 pounds? I hv seen him eat 3 plates of food ordered at a restaurant? And I seen him do over 500 incline sit ups on a board ( I left got tired of hearing him count after I said no way!). Put it this way ? I think they are born that way, not made thru a set of steps to accomplish their goal. And all that testing the military does? It’s to find them! Anyway we are such a fortunate country to hv men like that. And you were born to frame and teach! That’s why I am here brother! Truthfully there are actually so few men ( and some ladies) that can frame a house correctly, following plans and knowing when to deviate if needed plus cut a roof. A form of non conventional art !

[@karlmckinney8469]

I like the teaching approach. I tend to avoid videos with big time lapses or longer than an hour

[@janderson8401]

I was having flashbacks to an addition we built back in the 1980s. My boss back then had been doing masonry since 1936 and carpentry since the late 1940s. We had toe nailed the floor joists into a ledger (16” on center this being Connecticut) and the building inspector made us add joist hangers. After the walls were up and were framing the low pitch shed roof I said to my boss we’re going to have to use hangers for the rafters. The boss said toenails are good enough so after the roof sheathing was on and the ceiling was framed I had to install joist hangers with all the ceiling joists in my way. I like the mix of real time and fast forward.

[@chrisclements1169]

Great vid. Great info. I have some very similar work upcoming on a remodel I have underway.

[@missulu]

Wouldn't change a thing. You make framing interesting, and at times 'interesting' isn't exactly what most carpenters would call it!lol! Thanks for the video!

[@vernbolstad3956]

Just had a neighbor crying about the drone, saying I was spying on their property. After much deliberation that took 45 minutes I finally convinced them by having the lady running the drone. Now we’re best friends 🤠 I always train for safety then accuracy. Equipment and staging creates both. Spent to many years walking walls with cords and hose to sacrifice the the technology we have now. Bla bla bla I can on and on. Great video!

[@drall912]

Voice over is great. 2x speed is good after we've seen the process. You can always go back to look at it again if needed. Editing is great as is the educational content. Just passed by 107 exam and flying a Mini 4 Pro. Which DJI are you fling?

[@hammertime7349]

II watch your videos for educational purposes. I think you’re great at explaining things and make it easy to understand. Do not speed up the videos. Longer the video the better it is.

[@ragingrevenge1]

I would like to see a video of you gang cutting rafters.

Your video formats are pretty good! Long format KZbin videos are always nice and you always seem to have bits to joke about and run alongside explaining every aspect of a construction concisely. The drone footage and close in normal footage is a nice alternative. My only concern would be footage file size and uploading lol.

[@AwesomeFramers]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@GTL77]

I’m a framer too and i like the speed up videos with the talking head lol

[@twwtb]

IMO, for layouts and the first couple of cuts or assemblies go real time. For anything repetitive, go fast or time lapse. I think that's pretty much what you do already, so stick with that. It's a good balance and it works.

[@MattSapp]

Tim - As far as the speed, here's my take. If you're able to speak and explaining details about some specific task in what you're doing, whether the audio was recorded with the clip, or it's voice-over from your studio, and that aligns well with the length of the video clip, keep it normal speed. I find myself often re-winding and re-watching sections of this type of video to catch the nuances, so speeding past stuff just makes it harder. If, on the other hand, you've explained how to do a task and now you want to talk about something more general, or you want to segue into another topic, and in the video you're repeating the thing you explained 40 times (say hanging joist hangers...) - speed that up to whatever speed lines up well with the length of your talking points. This seems like how you're generally running these videos, which is probably why I keep coming back :) edit: I did notice - during the rafter cutting clip, the audio of the saw and you talking from the source clip was a little loud relative to your voice-over and distracting from your speaking. I know that's a hard thing to get right every time, but I'd probably err on the side of the original being too quiet than too loud when speaking over it.

[@nieldcreek2098]

I think your editing and speed is generally good. Yes, a few spots that were repetitive, but overall not bad. I do have a question though; why are your ceiling rafters such large dimension lumber? I mean I would assume that just a ceiling rafter, but only need to be a 2 x 4, but looks like you use a 2 x 6 or 2 x 8. just curious why go through the expense as it doesn’t do a whole lot as far as structural. The 2x10 for the roof rafter seems more than adequate as well based on the 8-9 foot span that I think I am seeing… btw, I actually appreciate you type of humor… I have the same type and it seems misty people don’t get it… good on you being you 👍

[@billcramer5851]

Well, in the mid west to the east coats, we use 16 on center because of snow load. I've replaced plenty of caved in roof with 24 on center with 16 on center because they caved in from the heavy snow load. usually starting with 6/12 and lower pitch

[@AwesomeFramers]

Yep, and that's why there is no "one answer" but rather based on local conditions.

[@patrickkenny2077]

I watch everything at 2x (people seem smarter to me then). Occassionally I will start skipping ahead when I get bored with content; it is more a mood thing than an editing thing. I think you do a great job with your editing, although you could have saved about 40 seconds comfortably wtih the rafter/joist install.

[@cappypants9169]

Speeding up through repetitive tasks only makes sense. Everyone’s busy. I think the way you’ve been doing it is fine.

Hey Tim, any chance for a real time review of the Paslode XP pro ? We had chippies test it 3 yrs ago here in Sydney and the review was that it’s not really required so Paslode Aus/NZ never released it here. My questions are is it really 10% more powerful considering the XP sat at 82 Joules and the other is fuel efficiency?

[@AwesomeFramers]

Sure, what do you want me to cover?

[@fredtaylor2918]

as far as what KZbin says, I disagree, I’d watch a 3 hour video more often than a short one.

Tim do you all flash that roofline when you do siding or does the roofing contractor do that?

Could never get used to using the saw with the plunge feature would just throw me off suspect it just comes down to preference.

This DeWalt saw is from 2017 or 2018. We didn't really like it then but had it for a tool review for JLC. It is a beast, so we leave it on the ripping guide.
