Some people do, can’t tell you how many shitty cuts I’ve seen by people. There’s more hacks out there than not. Framers are some of the biggest hacks. Especially when using levels. They think a wall is level if the bubble is in between the two line, they don’t care if it’s not perfectly centered and then they are using a 4ft level on an 8ft wall, so that 2/4 inch turns into a half inch real quick. They don’t take the time to crown their lumber, they cut shit short, crooked, etc… but it’s just rough framing, right? They don’t care when the finish work needs to be done. I’d rather guys take a little longer doing this, than freehand and have 1/2” gaps on their rafter cuts at the bottom of the ridge

I DID NOT KNOW THAT! So I SUBSCRIBED! IT WAS HELPFUL! I HAVE THAT VERY SAME GUAGE I LATER LEARNED ITS NAME OTHER THAN NEEDING A PERFECT CORNER/STRAIGHT EDGE USE IT ALL THE TIME! Got a Lime Green plastic one too So I keep that in the garage I’ve only seen a stair GUAGE 2x And probably don’t have it in my vocabulary yet-I Dey did NOT know I could use it like that!👍
