I'm a recent civil engineering grad and I cannot tell you how much I love this series. It's so interesting to see all of these concepts I've studied physically implemented. It really helps to show how all of the different subjects interact with one another. You really know you're stuff from a fundamental knowledge of engineering standpoint.

Two days into watching your videos has given me so many ideas. As of the writing this I'm 73 getting ready to lug about 300 CMU & I forgot the amount of 80# bags of concrete mix for the floor, footings & dead man anchors + the grout for the wall. Only to build a 10x 24 foot storage shed ( hope I can carve out some work shop area). You are a fabulous teacher. When you retire from the trades can I suggest teaching at a community college you would be awesome.

Excellent video! Best I've ever seen. Professionally explained that covers most critical aspects of form building. Worth mentioning is how you attached the 2x4 sleepers to the footing using small rotohammer to drill 1/4 holes and then driving a couple 16d duplex to create strong wedge anchor that can be quickly removed with that Burke bar when you strip. For those who dont want to rent Symon-type forms, there's an excellent CSI form design manual for most plywood forming systems. Will give waler, strongback and other design details. You have a fantastic knack for explaining this material. Should be required viewing for many getting in the business (including architects, designers as well as blue collar types). You know your stuff and isn't complete bs like so many KZfaq experts out there.

The comment in the video about if your wall form blows out you better have a mighty powerful cheque book is so true. I spent around a month on a site with a full crew of guys fixing concrete. The forms were put together by concrete finishers not experienced form work guys. They had blow outs and wrong dimensions all over the building. So a big crew of us were called in to repair the concrete. It paid us all really well to get in there and spend a month fixing. So yes I can only imagine how much the company spent on that project to get everything back close to proper specs.

Love seeing rebar caps in place. I've seen far too many job sites that frequently skip them, and have done far too much first aid (and body removal) from rebar punctures.

@mikes1345 6 жыл бұрын

what is the purpose of those rebar caps. is it a safety measure?

@RealLuckless 6 жыл бұрын

Usually they are a safety device, but there are some designed as anchor caps to increase the holding force on the rebar while also making the end of the rebar less dangerous. Rebar is at this 'fun' diameter where it is skinny and stiff enough to happily punch a hole through soft tissue without extreme force, and it is easy to over look that merely tripping on to it can be enough to drive a piece into your belly or something. And it may be better to not think about what happens if you fall off a ladder or something on to some. (And then the texture on the bar itself makes things 'extra fun' when it comes to extraction, as they're kind of intended to grip stuff wrapped around them by design.) Also isn't a fun thing to walk into an end piece sticking out of a wall or something. Have seen a guy put his own eye out on a 1/8th rod by trying to step out of someone's way on a busy job site. Remember: Safety gear isn't there just for your safety, but to also keep you/your coworkers from having to clean up after stupid mistakes.

Great series and beautiful formwork. I’ve worked with Symons and other form systems for 12 years, been to Symons school, seen hundreds of pours and work as a rep now for a formwork manufacturer. You are a part of an elite minority of steel ply users who do not run their waler through the center of the waler clamp. One tip: When putting your wedge bolts in, hammer from the side, pressing the downward wedge bolt with just thumb pressure. You don’t need to drive them home like I saw in he video. Just needs tension to hold. It will making stripping much easier.

Great information.. never had the chance to use these forms. Spraying the outside of the forms keeps the concrete off and elevated the excess weight and deterioration of the forms to help with future pours as well as insurance that your next job, you can rest assure the forms will perform as well as the prior project. I worked for an outfit and had forms we would use, over 25+ yrs old. We would set up footing, tie verticals and set wall forms and when finished extra bracing and then add material for the blow outs on the bottom of alot of the forms.

Essential Craftsman is the best channel on youtube, and the competition is not particularly close.

Recently used this system to make a retaining wall for a small overpass. It was alright but I think I like the Doka system much more. Nice to just now find out the 2 by's go through the jacks to ground NOW! I was on them with no support but the steel 10 feet up vibrating a poor not knowing about that. Our hand rails were only sticking out of the jacks.

Video's like these help us learn why they charge a lot for this work. There is much more to it than most of us know. Great Series!

This was a good one. I'm a first-year Carpenter apprentice. Guys were just talking snap-ties and whalers today and I was like "what?" But now it's perfectly clear and maybe I'll tell them about chamfering the forms later.

Another great episode. You guys are smart for keeping them short and to the point. As a carpenter, it’s always interesting to pick up on little things that others do that make life easier. 👍🏼

Excellent video, very articulate, pertinent information and nice workmanship. I'm having a contractor pour a basement wall and I picked up some great pointers. I feel like I know what I need to be concerned about and what I DON'T need to worry about.

Just came across this and I'm going to have to watch your other episodes; between the clean form of info and how nice it is to actually listen to you talking about the work.

Loved your comments on the expectation that concrete will crack, because most people out of the industry have no idea about this.
