Once I turned the music off, it got a lot better. Love the automation.

[@Sigueme1]

I don't know why the music in all the educational videos...it's not necessary and it makes you lose concentration ..you are absolutely right

[@xmag1234]

This makes since I just had to beat the. With a sledge to set the truss plates

[@KalebWaldner]

You made trusses of site?

[@Sanriago98]

Handling plates with no gloves, savage just like me 👌🤣

[@KalebWaldner]

Never even crossed my mind to be honest

[@DkaeRisk]

Actually dumb

[@eathanralston1143]

Actually handling plates with gloves is far harder than without them because the plates like to stick to the gloves

[@aspiechan420]

I always wear gloves when doing this! Had seen a buddy get hurt really bad on plates.

[@bfnurgf1]

8 years and no gloves

[@mattwhats290]

Why are you nailing the plys together on the rollers? Are you getting paid extra to do it?

[@KalebWaldner]

Matt Whats yes if the trusses are ordered as a girder aka 2ply... They will be more expensive

[@GAROmx]

It’s a good idea to nail it before it gets to the job site, I always see problems when framers do it in the field they don’t take the time to make sure they are flush all around then problems start and they want to blame us. Problem they are too heavy for them to bring up specially if they’re not using a crane.

Nice 👍🏼

[@nevaehwatene9325]

Do you only got 1 table... is a mitek table or something else

[@KalebWaldner]

Nevaeh Watene we have a 60 foot Alpine table

[@chrisbuckley1785]

Yeah this is a small set-up.

[@Sanriago98]

What's the production required daily? 2kft maybe? For 2 people?

[@KalebWaldner]

I couldn't say. It's never the same.. Jobs differ from one to the other and work/production ratio is always different. The requirements tho, get em done as fast as possible lol

@@KalebWaldner The truss company in USA that I worked with (BFS) is pretty huge on trusses and very busy. Here in Canada the truss jobs are not as busy as USA and we slow down a lot during winter. I work 2nd shift with 3 other guys 🤣

My name is Sean I am a builder also

I work at menards distribution center

[@victorrosales9659]

And recommendations on hammer I should get, like smooth face hammer etc?

[@NobodyCares71]

Vaughan 22 oz that’s what I use used to the weight want to get a 28 oz

[@victorrosales9659]

@@NobodyCares71 and should I get a smooth faced hammer or those hammers that have those little spikes. My guess would be smooth so that the plates don’t get all stamped and leave the marks

[@NobodyCares71]

@@victorrosales9659 I got the non smooth face because only 18 gauge plates are really what need hammering. 20 gauge plates bite the wood with one hit for me. But that’s just my experience. Been building for about a year almost year and a half.

[@Nat-zg8vz]

The blade runs smooth sometimes and fucks up

[@KalebWaldner]

Lol you seem to have some unpleasant experiences?

[@Nat-zg8vz]

Yeah soemtimes

[@Nat-zg8vz]

I run blade every day and sometimes it had bad issues and sometimes it runs really good
