How to frame a window

[@cffellows]

Always a pleasure to watch someone so skilled in their trade. People who create things are the best!

[@wildrose5357]

Love seeing this. Here is a guy who knows what he is doing and confident in his skills. I wish more young people would go into trades. Truly makes the world a better place.

[@kiennguyenthe9898]

With Ryan's kzbin.infoUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!

I love framing. Opening framing is my favorite

[@trickyricky12147]

Here we have another great channel in the comments, folks! Great how-to on installing metal roof sheathing, btw.

[@drednok3569]

Just watching you work makes me want to have a beer lol. Good stuff brother.

[@soulseek2]

thought the exact same thing.. we deserve it right?

[@drednok3569]

soulseek2 Of course we do, cheers haha.

[@baronvolkov6172]

time to have a beer

[@SimonKentucky]

Glad you kept the original audio track, it truly reflects the hard work.

[@StateofPeaches99]

Man thats house will never fall over --- well built with all those nails . Very good instructional video!!!!

[@thesoggycheeseburgerincide7401]

Framer of 30 years here, that grunt @9:20 really made my back hurt.

[@diggler306]

That's the part I related to the most. lol

[@exercisemyrights]

only while yer young..wink

[@g00se0017]

the fact you said you were a framer for 30 years hurts my back,l lol I'm an electrician which isn't a whole lot better but still....

[@lomparti]

Me too man. I installed porcelain and natural stone tiles for 6 years and completely fucked up my back and knees. I have huge respect for guys who can do this kind of work and dont have any health issues.

[@iLikeC00kieDough]

friendlywhiteguy stretching everyday, eating right and exercising regularly, and most importantly, proper lifting form can eliminate almost all of the physical long term issues related to the trades

[@albee6216]

Lousy, rainy day here so I binge-watched your videos. You are not "crazy", you are savant. Well done.

[@Guust_Flater]

Of course, 1 take, no editing, 1 window slayed... 😎👍😁

[@u.sonomabeach6528]

Me-wondering if the comment was negative or positive Me-watches video Me-Concludes it was most definitely positive because dude does, in fact, slay that window. 😎👍😁

[@buddysteele7624]

Watched this and felt compelled to comment. I frame for a living nice work man bravo

[@TravisKelleher]

New subscriber here, I feel like I hit the jackpot with your videos. Found your channel because I searched on "how to frame a window", and bam, here I am. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about construction, particularly framing so that I can make repairs on my mom's 70yr old house. Seeing the way you work is inspiring and damn impressive. Just wanted to say thanks for all the great content.

[@basshead8555]

I would still be laying out my plates. Awesome video. Love to see professionals show off their craft and skills.

[@gregmirr]

Great work and excellent job of explaining the logic behind framing .. I was a framer 35 years ago and lifting walls hasn't gotten any easier i see ...

[@likearockcm]

If they had a competition for framing ,like they do for block masonry ,I have a real good idea who would win that,hands down.👍great stuff,fun to watch.

[@carsongoodman5581]

like a rock they do

[@beebee1518]

One of the best jobs I've ever seen

[@gibsonbuilds4841]

Great job. Here in eastern us most people call it a "jack stud" that supports the header. Cripples are the infill under the sill.

[@fluke196c]

dope. hard workin man right there

[@spankiedoodlesteve2086]

That circular saw you’re using in this vid is hard to beat in my opinion. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the other fancy shit but for an experienced framer it’s a lovely one to take to work every day

[@Thecrazyframer]

The new cordless one is even better

[@007balzak]

You make it look so easy it's disgusting... Bless you bro

[@thecountrycarpenter1816]

Great work. I enjoy your youthful knowledge. I carry the same, framing was a calling I awoke to one day, realized I was in it for life. And then the backbreaking work came to life... lol

[@greggmclaughlin9047]

You a working fool, no doubt. I used to hire an old head to prefab those ROs on a set of horses while I ran floor joists. Saves a little time

[@brandonhorwath6351]

...cripples are above the header, and below the sill. Jack studs are the ones just under the ends of the header, next to the king studs...

[@trickyricky12147]

I think the Crazy Framer is in Canada, so the terminology must be different there.

[@AustinAirCo]

I find it amazing how far the skills of home building have come. I shared in plenty of those grunts of lifting things by myself that others would deem physically impossible. But with that said, I think you out did me on this job.

[@thomsherwin7138]

Just found your channel. What a pleasure to watch you build.

[@REVerbtalk]

Never done framing man and you pretty much explained TO THE POINT how to frame a window. Thanks for breaking this down in a real world and at-work environment. Learned a basic concept within a few minutes... no, i will not call the next client and be like "I know how to frame a window". Just saying i couldn't grasp it with the other 2 hour videos of them selling products. I subbed this page. Gotta find your previous vid though. Great stuff

[@Canosa612]

Go have a beer my brother, you deserve it for the job well done. Respect.

[@nashua03064]

Man... you are a freakin animal ! Kudos... I used to frame back in the day... and you Sir are by far the "best" I've ever seen! If you "truly" want share your talents... Look me up, I'll make you "famous"... you already are with 24k subscribers, but trust me what you do and how you go about it is worthy of Star status ! Over the Top ! Your methodology is pure, self taught or other... you do it right ! BE SAFE would be my only share back with you. Standing 36' walls by yourself... I get it, just "be safe". Thanks for sharing your vids !!! Tom from New Hampshire

[@Xassaw]

Awesome! Good & fast with a minimum of yapping. Well done.

[@Txpo50]

You’re very talented man

[@bndrestoration.restoration6017]

Dispite all the negative comments, I think you are doing a great job and I have enjoyed watching you. Keep up the great work

[@chris15325]

You are a talent for sure. Just don't get cocky and fall off a roof. Almost did that more than 10 times. Now I'm more careful at 47

[@rastapastrychief]

zactly.

[@tookster7483]

Great video, are you planning on showing us the rest of the build after framing? Would love to see the end result.

[@daboabieman]

Excellent!! I’m going to be putting an extension on the back of my house soon and plan to do as much of it myself as I can. I’m not a joiner (I’m also not handless) so any tips on framing are well received.

[@pakkitoopradaxfr5453]

Holly shit!!!!....ur strong as hell!!!!!! Man u r so good at it

[@justindixon11]

love your channel I'm a finish carpenter and work mostly solo.. Thanks for the videos

[@banga8080]

Bro you're a beast when it comes to framing Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@robloxmaniacdanceandshake7871]

Mastery of this skill is essential... This is a great demo... Easy to follow... Thanks much!

[@BFaluup]

Nice...that takes some experience to do it like that....it would probably take me a whole day just to do that.

[@cmonsalv]

Do you have a video framing/building a bay window? It would be awesome to watch.

[@leosrule5691]

Ive seen tyvex put over window from as if it were a wall, then cut an X and tac it inside widow frame opening. I think i saw it on "This Old House".

[@southhillfarm2795]

Way back in the day we would have all our headers and cripple studs pre-cut on a radial arm saw. The header beam would be labelled and ready for the wall when needed. Also all the top and bottom plates would be laid out and marked for studs prior to any walls being framed.

[@gregoriozamudiorivera1040]

Hola no hablo inglés solo un poco te he seguido cómo desde el primer capítulo y deberás que estás loco para parar esa esa casa sin un ayudante por lo menos de veras que admiro todo tu potencial y aunque estuvo nevando no paraste de trabajar eres una persona admirable te deseo lo mejor y no dejes de subir videos ya que te voy a estar siguiendo lastima que no te entienda porqué me gustaría hacer un pequeño proyecto aquí en mi casa lo malo es que no entiendo tus medidas ok sin más muchas gracias por tu aportación saludos desde Saltillo Coahuila México

[@candidmoe8741]

Estoy impresionado. Este amigo no para nunca. Medir, cortar, clavar. Repeat. Lo hace parecer tan fácil.

[@Automative]

That was crazy effective. As always. Good luck.

[@YORUM.AVCISI]

Merhaba Bu işi ilk öğrenmeye çalıştığımda senin videon en öğretici olmuştu Fakat sonra seni kaybettim O kadar marangoz izledim ama seni bulmayı beceremedim Çok şükür bugün sana tamda bu videona tesadüfen denk geldim ve altın bulmuş gibi hissettim Dostum ben Türkiyeden yazıyorum ve burada kendime çerçeve ev yapmak istiyorum Evleriniz çok güzel çok mantıklı Green card sahibi olursam orada bu işi yapmak isterim Seviyorum marangoz işini

[@veronicianyveronica5290]

Don’t drink 🍷 too much. Take care of yourself. Great job as always 👍👍👍👍

[@ddetv8433]

Dude is a beast. Nice work!

[@Drewskidelmar]

Just found your channel, your a true master craftsman! thanks for the lesson

[@edemunsta]

Like a Boss! Great Job! Your Experience shows.

[@tygreen2155]

Dude! You're a beast.

[@RandyRugarMusic]

Wow that's a buller and a jammer! Good square clean work guy! Amazing video, would love to work and drink with ya..

[@edwardseth1230]

First of Alll... Am Blown away... a House Build on your OWN.. its both a Miracle and a Amazing. Last but not least, boy u need to cut on the beer...i know its alot of work ...heavy stuff..lifting and placing them in their places..and i know..i know..you on your own.

[@SF80CAMARO]

Nice work CF.......lm in Calgary. Got to get it done before the cold.😲🍻🍻👊

[@timdouglass4934]

71 year young still learning carpenter here. I started before pneumatic nailers. Boy how things have changed. Very well made video, straight forward , interesting and easy to follow and I've been framing my whole life. What was the purpose of the Tyvek between the sheathing ? Are you purposely nailing at a angle so the nails don't go thru ? I cut my teeth on direct drive saws but why do you prefer them versus a worm drive ? You use a Paslode nailer, I thought Hitachi was the nailer of choice among framers ? Is your tip of your speed square broken off on purpose ? My word of advice is protect your hearing and save your back. Be safe and keep up the good video's. I wish I had You Tube when I started, I'd been 20 years ahead.

[@gendryadamez2811]

This dude is a beast.

[@RX7GSLSEowner]

I've seen other framing of windows in which the cripple (or jack stud) also supports the upper window frame. In this video, the crazy framer builds it such that the cripples do not support the upper window frame, only the header. Is there much of a difference or is it a "depends on who you talk to" type of thing?

[@framingbeast720]

Love your videos. Interesting to see how it's done in other parts. I use your vids for inspiration. Keep it going.

[@HiVizCamo]

This is getting to be one of those channels that gets immediately upthumbed, within the first 10 seconds anyway.

[@DRACUL1964]

You need to bring out some books!!! Great videos!!!

[@vzgsxr]

Do you bother checking the bows in the studs to install them all bow up or bow down etc?

[@Shmelkable]

vzgsxr I think you’re talking about crown. Crown is to be put up on exterior walls

[@Hhhhhhlllll]

Is it the rough carpenter responsibility to the wrap the house or just windows and adding to another subfloor

[@stin987]

I was drinking a beer while watching. I enjoy your videos.

[@joshscott7110]

Great work really really impressed

[@duketran62]

Since that window header is non-bearing, is that the reason the space behind it is spared for insulation? Thanks.

[@onlygazza]

Fair play to you fella you got some skills and some go in you, brill channel 👍

[@manogringo3053]

You is the best crazy framer

[@wytas20]

Great video. But what do you use to fill the rest of the header cavity? Shouldn’t there be a 2x10 on the inside and outside of the trimmer/jack stud so the weight bears equally?

[@grktycoon]

Once again nice video, that speed square has seen better days, need a new one brother, maybe if you cut down on the beers you can afford a new one 🤣🍺nice of you to be posting more videos.. Cheers 👌🍻

[@AC.Prince]

Couldn't do it by myself. Its almost impossible finding help I at least have to have me a labor. You the man. Is those diamond back nail bags?

[@PostedPlacesTV]

is it code for you to build those corners that way it seems like way over built, we use open corners now for better R value

[@jfarinacci0329]

Good work. Thank you.

[@cmonsalv]

Thanks for the video dude!

[@jakew5606]

try to put your door/window packages together then bang your studs, a good cut guy can usually build them while the framers bang walls..

[@itsmisterchris]

How many walls like this one can you do in one day? . How long would it take you to do a framing for 2000 square foot house (2storie) 2k each floor .by yourself .just a triangle no special roofs no special balconies..

[@markc1894]

Just one question why the paper between the ply siding

[@richardt.rogers2730]

woah for the past week that I've been watching your videos I was convinced your channel was 'The Crazy Farmer' hahaha

[@Playerblock]

Same, the only difference is that i'm watching a year later xD

[@parmoni]

I see that use the diagonals equality test to ensure it's square... what's your system for resolving your wall/window panel when it's off square

[@TauKinth]

Use a hammer. If that don't work, use more hammer.

[@parmoni]

TauKinth simple enough, thx

[@Thecrazyframer]

I nail the bottom down before I build it. Then I move the top one way or the other till I have the exact same measurement .

[@officemanager1241]

great job. more videos please

[@spankiedoodlesteve2086]

One more comment to add, here in the states majority of us sandwich 1/2 inch plywood to match the width of your studs, is it just not required in Canada?

[@DeltaRancho]

Not to gripe or anything but tyvek is manufactured porous so that if water gets behind the WRB it will run out through the “pores” so to say. I’ve had to tear a whole wall down because the inspector wouldn’t pass it unless the letters were upright to allow proper drainage, but that’s here in myrtle beach, not sure the codes of where ever you are, but anyway great video man.

[@DeltaRancho]

Whole wall of tyvek, not the actual wall itself

[@Thecrazyframer]

I’m pretty sure it’s one way breathable. The writing has to go to the outside, but I don’t think it matters if the writing is upside down.

[@mahmudrahman9855]

Amazing, Thank you. May Allah bless you more

[@goldhaze1]

Good work again.if you ever have issues with westek trusses let me know :)

[@GoldenW505]

Is it normal to have a double bottom plate for a window, because I’ve done routing and sheathing and never seen that.

[@enki8652]

so awsome love your work

[@lpenap]

I'm gonna have a beer now

[@marcusmumphrey6995]

Hey, do you guys by chance cut your windows seals at a degree going outwards to let the flow of water to drain out? Also what do you guy tape your sheathing butt joints with? I'm trying to gather some best practice methods from every day pros on the job, im about to do complete remodel of a pier and beam house.

[@josechang9859]

Thank you . Crazy framer

[@Academyofbuildingthought]

Great work

[@getin6]

Need your help to build my house lol good job man keep them coming

[@leer774]

Meanwhile I'm having mini panic attacks over how to put a window in my shed!

[@matthewrivera5484]

Do you guys not have to have a shear inspection on your nailing for your osb?

[@ericwaller7452]

Matthew Rivera I was also wondering the same thing Matthew. It's nice to be able to install your tyvek/barrior while your wall is still in the deck, but where I'm from the inspector wouldn't pass off on shear if you have all your plywood covered. But some inspectors if they get to know the builder/framer will sign off on stuff if they're familiar with your quality of work.

[@ericbaker6542]

How many beers does it take to frame up a house?

[@gumaroff_house]

Do you nail 2 or 3 nails through the plates when installing 2x6 studs wall? Or in some States make 2 nails, some make 3?

[@dipdip809]

Love the work and videos 💪💯

[@dsilverleaf4668]

fuq i miss the trade. . as usual 4 u bro. A job well done

[@bernievargas6740]

What is the paper for

[@otool]

Missed a couple nails 😂 Nice solo work man!

[@marcelomelamed3196]

do you use 2x6's for all your framing?

[@KDD8]

Great work as usual!

[@abelhernandez2381]

You made that look easy.
