Wall Framing: Everything You Need to Know! // DIY Workshop Build 20x32 Stick Framed

[@Dr.LarryS.Anderson]

Brother Sam, I hope you don't think my comment is creepy. HOWEVER....you are doing such an outstanding job of not only building this structure, but also teaching (VERY clearly) how to build those walls--and, as a retired Industrial Arts (AKA "Shop") teacher for many years and having helped to build some structures alongside work partners, as I watch you, I find myself transfixed from my recliner to being right there beside you and helping (some) as I learn (intently) how you are doing this so intentionally. My highest compliments. Too bad it's so far from my place here in Tupelo, MS to your homestead, 'cause I would surely being offering my services to help you. But, of course, you are doing so well that you don't need help! But....when you start to raise those walls, I'm gonna bet that you have your #1 helper out there with you. He seems like such a very fine young man. When I taught Industrial Arts, I had 8th and 9th graders. Then, as a middle school Principal in Starkville, MS (home of MS State University), I had 6th and 7th graders. Also, I am thankful to have had the blessing of working with youth groups in church, as well as 4-H youth clubs. So, I love working with young people....and I think that's why I get such a charge out of seeing your older son being such a grand helper. He will remember these days for as long as he lives! Great job, sir! ~ Dr. Larry S. Anderson • Tupelo, MS (birthplace of Elvis)

😂 Amazing teacher keep going. Can't wait to see finish product but loving the journey🎉🎉🎉

[@denisewilson8367]

You did an excellent job showing /telling people how to build a wall. What needs to be done for a window or a door opening also. If I didn't already know. I could understand your directions easily. I'm sure this helped a lot of people who weren't sure, or had no clue how to build a wall. I also learned the name of the corner. I have built this way but never knew it was called a California Corner. Thanx.

[@TheWoodHaven]

Nice tutorial. You covered it all. I like how your window headers go right up to the top plate. I haven't tried that. Looks stonger.

[@Samcraftcom]

This was my first time getting to try that method too and I like it -- very strong and easy to frame up!

[@shilohwoodcrafts2955]

You are one of my favorite KZbinrs, a hard worker, and you make very informative, and easily understandable tutorials...always much appreciated.

[@ctapson4374]

The new addition is huge compared to your existing workshop!! You will never leave, you will have so much room.😁

[@magnusltd]

New shop is looking GREAT! Good job Sam. Really appreciate these videos.

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and putting the walls up on Sam's crafts

[@apjfirearms2707]

Great Job! Appreciate your organization and carpentry skills. New shop is starting to look awesome. Very impressive. Can't wait to see finished shop!

[@Samcraftcom]

You and me both!

[@mattsara2802]

It’s coming together 😊

[@momo-agogo]

Great video! I have watch ALOT of workshop/shed builds and this one is the best explained one so far.

[@Samcraftcom]

Thanks!

[@scottbyrd2157]

Sam, Great job bud! Good coverage and explanation! Stay safe and be careful!!

[@stevegood3224]

Good stuff. Nice job. This has to have been an exciting step for you.

[@madhog6]

Hell yeah dude! Super informative and answered some questions I was having trouble finding the answer to. Thanks man.

[@Samcraftcom]

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@leattaslone1800]

Great job Sam! This was an interesting video! God Bless you all! 😊

[@Samcraftcom]

Thank you! You too!

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

You’re amazing thank you for sharing!

[@adrianpoesiat]

Excellent insight. Thank you. I’m building a 24x16 utility shop. It’s good to have someone with experience to guide the lay out to avoid rookie mistakes. So I’ll be to code👍

[@bwoodworth100]

One of the best framing videos on KZbin and definitely for people who are new to framing and want to learn the basics. Well done Samcraft! 👏🏽

[@Samcraftcom]

Thanks!

[@bwoodworth100]

@@Samcraftcom my pleasure. Now we need to figure out how to make some money together since I've spent the last two days binge watching your build videos. I think we became BFF's after that. 😂

[@mikepetitt9624]

Wow Sam its sooo exciting to see how fast this is going up! I’m soooo happy for you! This is going to be a really nice building!

[@Samcraftcom]

Thanks so much!!

[@bobramirez15]

Thank you for your video it was very useful for me. Nice work.

[@homezero]

I am thoroughly enjoying the steps for the building of your workshop. I truly hope you are getting help raising the walls. I know that can be a chore all in itself.

[@Samcraftcom]

I'm really glad to hear you're liking the series! :) The widest wall section I have to raise is 12 feet wide.. still within my range of lifting myself. :) However, I do enlist help for the bracing.... coming up soon!!

[@homezero]

Glad to hear you have assistance. Trying to hold it up and secure it by yourself would be a pain, the slightest wind can cause a topple. Best to be safe. @@Samcraftcom

[@MABRYAUTOCARE]

Thanks!

[@davidfinney6855]

Loving the work!!

[@florinberca6934]

Very well explained , 👍

[@angelacross2216]

Looks wonderful. Very impressive!

[@emilasmith4279]

Very impressed! Anxious to see it all come together!

[@MABRYAUTOCARE]

Dude I wish I could express better than words on how much help and knowledge that has more than helped me in my "indevor" or as I've began to call it ," my never ending story"... Lol... But foreal, because of your videos it's a journey that I'm thankful for and appreciate people like you...God bless and plz continue the great teachings... your unwavering new found friend, Robert

[@timcritz3194]

Great progress. Your tractor and a lifting strap or chain will make easy work of raising and securing those wall sections.

[@WoodturningWithJohnMarro]

Looking good so far Sam! Thanks for sharing :)

[@realfood-life]

Very clear and helpful! Thank you for your time...

[@nathaningram1779]

Great video super helpful tips thanks again!

[@sandracunningham2689]

I agree with everyone this was a great class. Getting the walls up is going to be a family project. 🔨🛠⚒🦾🦾🦾

[@mdsloads]

Awesome work young man. Wish I still had your energy.

[@guybowers9094]

Really enjoying this series and looking forward to starting the inferior. You are spot on with the California framing and your headers. Bith great setups

[@chucklenz9011]

Your a regular Sam of all trades. Nice!

[@Chrispy9393]

Gonna feel like it's real once the first walls are up!

[@aussiegolddogcnc3d412]

Great video Sam. Very informative. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers Robert. 😊

[@Samcraftcom]

Thanks 👍

[@jay-x9n5y]

Thank you for a detailed explanation of each step. Greatly appreciated!

[@dannyl6507]

Nice sketchup drawings! Thats a great idea to print out the sections and put in a 3-ring binder. Believe it or not I was just starting designing the exact dimensions of your building, beams and joists for a 20x32 cabin and overlapped my joists like you did and was debating how to layout the subfloor since only one side of the building is 16" on center all the way down before I saw your videos. On the other side of the building, since the first and last joists are offset, the subfloor didnt line up with the other side. Your videos gave some good ideas on that such as the little small subfloor section in the corner. You gave another good point about overlapping the joists so that it keeps each side from sinking between beams. Sketchup has a little bit of learning curve but once you get past that, it is an awesome tool. When learning sketchup I have found there are quite a few cheat sheets that show what the icons are for, but not much that shows the steps to take for each to tool to do certain things (such as how to copy your joists all at once!). Ive made some youtubes in the past and am thinking about making a video about using sketchup for projects such as this. Would you mind if reference your videos since they were a great inspiration? Thank you sharing and the great content!

[@leowoodworkuy]

Excelente! ❤ Thank you

[@edkincaid9347]

I enjoy watching and learning.

[@johnfavela3817]

Very knowledgeable video and informative

[@lindapeterson7166]

Hi Sam Angela & boys,awesome video!

[@Samcraftcom]

Thanks so much

[@CPAUTOCENTER]

I wanted to know why isn't the cripple studs together with the jack suds? Excellent video keep up the amazing work. Thank You

[@cantgetright742]

Getting great traction on them subs 👍👍

[@TheBeerbelly007]

Nice video Sam :)

[@almachapman5409]

Awesome job

[@normp.3657]

really good job of teachimg. thanks

[@vrich3733]

So cool!

[@beasluszka6258]

So exciting.

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Framing is the best! Well it's pretty fun because it looks like so much is done when you're finished. How is that new circular saw working out?

[@Samcraftcom]

I really like it, it's plenty powerful and very nice compared to my prior one. :)

[@pazmaniaoh6341]

Doing great!

[@Puritanis]

The audio sounds like ASMR at a nightmare dentist. 😁

[@TarheelTad64]

Sam your skills are awesome love how to explain everything in simple easy to follow instructions for the DIY 'ers like myself thanks for answering all my questions I've asked Happy Thanksgiving from my house to yours looking forward to the rest of this build

[@Samcraftcom]

I appreciate that!

[@wendyburston3132]

Looking good

[@billrotundo7814]

Good job Sam, Question? Shouldn't the sole plate be pressure treated?

[@Samcraftcom]

No. You only use treated wood when in contact with concrete.

[@billrotundo7814]

Thank you....@@Samcraftcom

[@inmyimage1081]

or the ground and not all pressure treated are “ground contact” rated so be sure to look for that if you need the board to sit on the ground, like sheds build on runners.

[@markduggan3451]

Lots of information.

[@lindaspradlin1436]

Amazing!

[@attilah]

I love the energy and progress you are making with he new shop! While one probably does not need to know, but I'm curious to learn the basic terms you are using like: California corner, bottom plates, king stud, jack stud, cripple studs, etc....can you recommend a good source to learn these?

[@joepie221]

I have a garage that is sectioned off about 6 feet from the end opposite the garage door. I'm planning on cutting a notch in this wall for a large rolling toolbox / work space. I do not want any interruption in the plane of the wall where the pocket ends. i have looked all over KZbin for a framing technique to achieve this. I want my jack studs inside the wall, not outside. How about showing that? ( or just reply and answer or point me at another source ) Thanks.

[@NickEscobedo]

Thank you for this video! It was super helpful. One question. Is a .131 nail good?

[@johnson8950]

Might make it easier to cut out the 2x4 in the doorway if you take your circular saw and cut it part way first then when you cut it out with a recipe saw you only have to cut down part way the bottom is already cut out.

[@mikewatson4644]

When building the headers, I like to use 1/2" foam insulation board instead of plywood. That gives a thermal break between the structural boards. Are you going to put sill seal under the bottom plate? Thanks for bringing us along on the build.

[@scottmorris4914]

Great video. Looking good. I am soooo holding back, because I know you are going to do what I am seeing. LOL

[@russellcrawford4809]

Heck yeah

[@pianoman87878]

Love this series, replicating a lot of it for my (slightly smaller) build. I've modelled my shed in SketchUp because of you, now I'm trying to export to PDFs like you did to print out. How did you format your walls to print out on it's own with the measurements? That's the last bit I can't quite figure out

[@jesusislord2457]

Wtg Sam! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with morons like me! I especially like now knowing what "on center" means; which you talked about in your last video. Say hi to Angela and the boys! 👋 Have a blessed Thanksgiving! You have a lot to be thankful for! 🤜 Big hugs! ✌️💝🙏🇺🇲✡️

[@75keg75]

Any thoughts of skylights? Obviously jobs done but did you consider them in design phase for future….

[@michaeldemetz1830]

Sam I was ways told the reason for putting the crown to the top was for strength. The reason you gave made it soundl ike it is purely for aesthetics which if everything is flush wouldn't matter.

[@75keg75]

14:50 the cripple stud gap what the purpose? Won’t it be hard to insulate that narrow gap?

[@columbuspalmer846]

What the name of your tool you’re using for framing

[@watahyahknow]

you mentioned about those california corners that you prevent coldbridges , then you do the exact thing you preach against with the tripplestuds under the windowsills creating the narrow space where you cannot put insulation intoo , i think you could put those tripple studs in rotated a quarter turm too intoo each side with only the center stud mounted the normal way , they would still hold up the window sill but allow you to put insulation under the full width of the window

[@AppalachianLife]

The little gaps can easily be insulated with Great Stuff spray foam.

[@kwarts]

Good point, might even apply to the king studs.

[@inmyimage1081]

He can insulate them, he has direct access to the space before putting on his interior wall sheathing, whatever that might be. The issue with corners is that you end up with an overlap where the walls meet but you need a solid mounting backing for installing the interior sheathing. The “California Corner” creates both a way of securely mounting sheathing in both directions of the corner while also giving you easy access to the overlapped corner for installing insulation prior to putting up the interior wall sheathing. With the window, there isn’t any space being blocked off such that he can’t insulate it.

[@Timothy.Master.Artist]

Measure from edge or center for 16 centers studs. Or measure from edge to 16 then minus 3/4" or 15 .25 inch. Then there is 4x4 post we got to nail to. The T1_11 siding then the sheet rock is off center. See my problem

[@sammcgee180]

nice

[@matt4272]

Is there a link to the free sketchup? It’s wanting me to pay.

[@PatrioticHomesteader]

I have a question, I hope it’s not a dumb question. My shop will be 32x20 on a concrete slab so I also will need to build a 32’ wall.. You built your 32’ wall in 3 sections. 32 is not divisible by 3. What widths did you go with? Enjoyed the video! Thanks!

[@MurDocInc]

All your studs land above floor joists but looks like your king and jack studs land off center, only supported by bottom plate, sub floor and rim joist cause the wall is cantilevered. Just wondering if that's enough to carry the roof load or something you looked into?

[@billyangelapressley]

What happen to your other channel?

[@watcherofwatchers]

It's still there... The shop build is also being covered there.

[@Samcraftcom]

I'm a one man band here and there. From working to filming to editing, it's all on me. There will be natural ebbs and flows between the two channels as things take over.

[@Yahawah_]

@@SamcraftcomI just found your channel and it’s incredible. I’m already a fan, because you don’t just show footage of you framing; you’re actually explaining the theory behind framing, and all the other things that go along with the craft. Thanks for sharing and I’m gonna go subscribe to your other channel too.

[@tracyboyd4867]

[@craigstewart6879]

Schools out Sam, great job

[@kickazcobra]

What about putting in sky lights, that way you’ll get even more light and not use up any wall storage space.

Just an FYI, the notification when you put out a new video comes up with a little dot, but when you click on it, it says that you haven’t uploaded any videos so your videos aren’t showing up unless you go to the channel it’s self. At least for me.
