SMALL WORKSHOP | Wall Framing on 24" OC - Shop Build 03

[@jabuhrer1]

You can tell a lot about a person by watching them work. You can tell a lot more by watching them work with their kids. Well done dude.

[@slavkochepasov8134]

2:22 a tip I learned myself doing framing. To be productive do not measure with the tape each board. Cut first one and use it as a measuring stick. Your assistant can use some off cut to align end of it and end of next board to cut. You can stay at the cutting end and do not walk back and forth. Cut one push it over, take next board from preset pile on the horses. No walking, no time to roll the tape, etc.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Get those little helpers working!

[@roguea987]

I built my workshed in almost the exact same manner. Only my framing was 16" OC for wind load necessities in FL. The roof I did 2x6 24" OC though. No snow load demands here. But everything was hurricane strapped with Simpson ties and I used 48" mobile home anchors to anchor it to the ground. One thing I wish I did different is added additional windows. That said, I may add them to the doors later. I feel like my shop would survive a category 5 storm; but, I'm not sure my house would. LOL.

I guess you and me are the only ones that decide on windows and doors after the initial shell... *Great minds must think alike Sam!* 🤪

[@Samcraftcom]

Honestly it's really complex! Placement of tools in a small shop is very important. Even more so for us content creators! :)

[@1kmlarose]

Sam, Your positive attitude and happiness is most infectious. You are doing a wonderful job on your new shop and I wish you the most success possible! I looks awesome!

[@Samcraftcom]

Thank you so much!

That's the best part of New construction. You get to buy all the new tools you always wanted.

[@itsjustmetomc4848]

Great job Sam! I never even noticed you didn't frame in for a door! I was having fun watching the video especially moments with the kiddos like the Matrix move at 5:44 and when you son was swinging around the level after 9:29 he is SO MUCH just like one of my kids would be doing! LOL These are some of the best memories, I hope you and your family the best. Shalom from Arizona

I live in CA and today I just learned about CA corner stud/framing. Awesome! (Thought it was due to earthquake, but it's actually for insulation and drywalling.)

[@stephenfleming8474]

Glad to see this coming together, and seeing you move on to better things. I work out of a small two stall garage with a jeep in one bay, it tough to find room for everything and cannot wait to see how you set up this shop.

[@HalfAssHomestead]

Sam, my idea of building a new shop is to never replicate what I already have. Always need to make things much bigger. My present shop is a 24 by 40 with 7 foot ceilings. My new shop will be 30 x 75 with 10 foot ceilings.

[@Samcraftcom]

And here I am going from a 16x24 to a 12x20. :)

[@PlanetMojo]

I agree. I just built a post frame 36' x 48' with a 12' ceiling. I went from a one car garage to a part of a basement to a two and a half car garage, to this. The basement shop had 7' ceilings - I would never want to do that again!

[@chevyguy6510]

Yeah Buddy! Keep pushing forward!

[@Samcraftcom]

Will do!

[@awlthatwoodcrafts8911]

Fun to watch, Sam. You're definitely getting your money's worth out of that nailer. Can't wait to see how you frame in the doors (and windows, if you do any).

[@Samcraftcom]

I agree! :) I'm planning one door in the center of the long wall with one window on each side of it. After I get the roof sheathed and dried in, I'll allow myself to go back and frame in the door and windows. Trying to get the shell dry from the rain first. :)

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

You make it look easy. Looks like the toughest part of this job, besides the foundation work, is the price of lumber.

So far, it sure is. :) This was purchased in early Dec 2021 just before our most-recent hike in prices.. thankfully!

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Coming along great! Just watched on your other channel!

[@matthewjolly7293]

Makes me want to build another 16x16 shed! You plan on stick building the roof or using trusses? If the former, figure out all your rafter angles and such on one board and then use that board as the template for all the others, makes things go way quicker. Assuming you haven't already framed it of course! Looking forward to the next video

[@Samcraftcom]

Your last bit of your comment is true. :) The roof may or may not be sheathed at this point in time currently. :) I did a traditional ridge beam + 2x6 rafter build. It was the most affordable and easiest for one person to do.

[@matthewjolly7293]

@@Samcraftcom That's how I did mine too. Can't wait to see the rest of the build!

[@rcomm6980]

Greetings from FL Sam. Love watching the build. I'm curious as to whether or not you're going to include a loft for lumber storage. I work out of my garage and my biggest complaint is a lack of space to store large quantities of wood. Looking forward to watching your progress!

[@Samcraftcom]

I may decide to use my rafter ties for a loft, but not sure yet... 8' is quite a ways over my head for storage! :) I don't have a ton of lumber for storage, but will need some sort of storage solution in this new shop.

[@peyton693]

[@meme-bj1pe]

How are the 4x4 connected together lengthwise? it seems like if it was moved it would split in half in the middle.

[@danbailey96]

I think that just converted to a Tennessee corner Sam instead of a California corner. It still looks quite warm there of course I don’t know when you recorded this ….we have snow and extreme cold in West Virginia right now

[@Samcraftcom]

Sounds good to me!! TN corner framing! :) Honestly, this was before Christmas. It was much warmer then than today. :)

[@JayBirde]

Nice videos Sam! Not to knit pick, but after the first stud you laid out, you should’ve just marked every 24”. It won’t matter until you get to the first and last stud bay. Loving the build videos though! Keep up the good work brother!

[@richardscarlett7942]

Watching a few videos so far, nicw build and family vibe. Only critique, and its with most YT'rs and streamers, is you really need to learn how to audio match. Get their edited (added) audio and especially music to match the originally recorded audio peak levels.

[@danbailey96]

Sam have you considered using lp smart panels for sheathing and siding combination it does a great job and as high as plywood is you would save a lot.

[@Samcraftcom]

The best price and quality in our area was traditional T1-11 wood siding. I'll have to paint it, but planned to paint the workshop already.

[@danbailey96]

@@Samcraftcom the prices on all building materials are ridiculous now and they have dropped some….I couldn’t imagine building houses now….l built a lot of small affordable houses in the 70s and 80s around 1000 square feet the complete build was only about $30,000 ready for the customer to move in to….of course the difference in money value is a lot different now.

[@RexMoore1984]

I am thinking of buying the Milwaukee cordless framing nailer. Why did you go with the Passlode which needs a battery and a gas cylinder?

[@Samcraftcom]

I've had the Paslode for over a year now. I originally bought it for putting a new roof on our mobile home. I liked the fact it would shoot 2,000 nails on a gas cylinder and single battery charge vs. _?_ with the electric battery ones. I didn't want to be in a spot where the battery was dead and I had to stop the project. I also knew Paslode was a "known good" system of many years and that it should be a good use of my investment (money). A year and many projects later and I'm 100% happy with the nail gun still.

Those boys are so adorable 😍Sam were also in the market for a cordless nail gun. How do you like yours and have you used any others to compare? I always talk to myself while I work alone 😂great job.

[@Samcraftcom]

This is the only cordless framing nail gun I have owned or used, so I can only say that I'm still 100% happy with the purchase -- now over a year later and about 6,000 nails later. It's not quiet, but works great in my experiences. I would say look at the current market and KZbin video reviews on them to decide which is best for your use and projects in mind. I had my reasons for getting it and still stand by them, but my reasons aren't yours. :)

Another great video. For a second there when your boy took the first stud you cut I thought at that rate it will take you forever… then the boss (wife) switched over and was handing them off your left side. That worked much better. Do you guys have a house out there or are you going to build it?

Hey Sam. Can't wait to see ya back to making cnc and laser vids. Question I have is I'm looking at either shapeoko or onefinity machine for my shop. Which would you go for if you were re buying one today? Any suggestions? Thanks bud

@@LittleBullseye appreciate that. I will definitely look. Was also considering buying one off someone who wanted to upgrade if priced right for used pro. But that onefinity looks like a tank

[@Samcraftcom]

Shapeoko Pro 1000% again! The biggest drawback (and it's a serious one) with the OneFinity is their lack of a solid base. They make you build your base and take the burden of it being solid, flat, true, and coming up with your own clamping system. The Shapeoko Pro and Shapeoko 4 have solid bases included and clamping systems as well. Much better machines! I have had ZERO issues or maintenance needed on my machine since getting it. That says a lot for something as complex as a CNC.

Are you making your own rafters or having them engineered? Where are you at, BTW? I have 2’ of snow in North Idaho and you’re in shorts! 🤣

This was filmed about two weeks ago at this point. :) This is TN, but it was also during a spurt of nice warm weather. I'm framing the roof very traditionally -- ridge beam with rafters.
