@@1982Mattyb titanium hammers came along 25 years ago or so. Before that, the best balanced California Framer type hammer was a Dalluge. Steel. These modern titanium hammers are light. Let’s face it, most good framers rarely use a hammer. It makes sense to carry the lightest hammer you can. Even 30 years ago I went from 26 to 24 and finally a 21 oz steel Dalluge. Larry Haun came from a time (circa 1949) when nail guns were rare, expensive, heavy and pretty unreliable. The Mid 80s brought the Hitachi NR83 and it changed things. I learned to frame in a time when guys could really hand drive nails. The older guys were scary fast. Even at age 62, with my old Dalluge, I bet I could thrash most 25 year olds hand nailing today. Most modern framers never will become anywhere as proficient as a guy like Larry Haun. They don’t need to. With these cordless Framing guns, they are really fast. Today I’m a construction superintendent, I’ve got an old Dalluge, a few Plumb rigging axes, 2 NR83a1 Hitachi nailers and a new Milwaukee 18v cordless nailer. For the rare 16d nails I need to drive, which one do you think I grab? Haha. Good luck kid. Don’t smash your thumb!!!

Thank You for your work. And yes you are a framer / form carpenter. Nothing wrong with that. 1. I never ever cut through the load bearing part of a stair jack / stringer or a rafter. Yes it takes more time to use a hand or saber saw but percentage wise that 1/2" of material on the compression side will place more lateral force on the tension side. Unless there is a wall under neath never cut into the Pattern or Jack. 2. On the Jack / Stringer adjacent to the wall I sometimes put a 1x4 if no skirt boards or even 2x4 between the wall and the jack so Drywall and the Skirt Board don't need to notch out and makes for a far superior finished product. 3. The run needs to be made when dealing with Oak or Ash Treads to work. As you know they typically get an Overhang and a trim piece on the riser below the tread nosing. Thank You for teaching this. I am retired Industrial GC and built many millions of dollars of work. In many trades.. Ran a trim crew doing residential at 19. Stair as you know can eat up a lotta time. Especially natural wood. No Caulking allowed. Great Video.. I know you know all I have pointed out but the carpenters coming up don't. Thanks Again

Overcutting greatly reduces the stringer strength and makes a stress concentration point that leads to wood splitting. Best way is to drill a 1/2" diameter hole, then cut up to the hole. The rounded corner make the joint much stronger.

Larry Haun certainly is one of the best carpenters in his time but I disagree with one thing he does here with the stairs; never overcut your rise and runs as it weakens the stringer. Should always, always use a handsaw (or jigsaw) to cut clean to the inside corner cut. Less chance the stringer will develop a stress split exactly where those overcuts would be.

Nope it doesn't make a difference it doesn't weaken anything. Once you have all the risers and Treads on and also a two-by-four now plus to the bottom of the stringers. The overcut makes no difference. Those stairs will stand as long as the building does

They're old school builders. They're built that way!

Yip, it was once a mans job. The hammer is more forgiving when you do an oops.

If I would have overcut the stringers like you're showing on this film I would have been fired

Yea. You can't over cut stringers. But this old timer still knew his stuff and was willing to teach it. I been a Carpenter a long time and in a lot of places. What's except able for some ain't for others. I'm willing to bet every one of those stair cases is just fine still today.

Times have changed, this video is old. He died in 2011 and worked, very quickly, in the califonia housing boom long before battery operated tools and nail guns. Overcutting was probably accepted then for speed, as was asbestos, lack of insulation and different wiring. Overcut or not you wouldnt keep up with him using a hammer!

I see the rise and threads cuts across each other. Can that weaken the structure of the stringer?
@razony3 жыл бұрын
Yes! Especially if my big Ex comes over. The stairs won't hold her.
