BMFORMWORK EPISODE: 17 Forming A Concrete Wall
In This Video I show how I build my concrete formwork for off-form concrete walls for a modern construction house. This is how I construct feature walls made from concrete. In this video I use pocket holes use kreg pocket hole jig.

Very nice work, nice video. sometimes it can work to drive home a 3" nail into the concrete face of the ply finishing up like 20mm above the 4x3 before offering it up and poking z bars through. Then drive a vertical 3" beside the 1st one (which is pointing horizontal back towards you) and twisting them together, it pulls the sheet back to the 4x3 and also it can pull the vertical joints tight if done the right side. Its only for when the 4 x 3 is fixed first, like the bottom kicker or else when ur starting the 2nd row of sheets and the joint timber is nailed on. U can always screw it to if you want to counter sink it, or spike it, not a huge fan of that tho.
@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783
@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 5 ай бұрын
What I do now is I just use some ply off cuts and 34mm screws to pull everything tight.

I've been a formworker for 25 years.. I like your method of screwing sheets together with hidden screws. But a formworker doesn't use a nail gun. We have mastered the hammer, unlike house chippies. In the construction world we build with fillet nails 50mm nails, and 75mm nails.. screws are hex head of various lengths always 5 mm

Hey mate, awesome video - would you be able to explain how you fix the joists to the ply on the parts that are finished concrete (not the bathroom where it’s covered), just curious as you’re stuck building it front the back so wondering how you make sure no fixings protrude through the front of the sheet…
@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783
@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 8 ай бұрын
We skew nail from the back on an angle so the nails don’t protrude through. And anytime we can nail to something else we will. Usually at the ends you can get a nail in ply face too. And as last resort we use 110mm screws

Love the vid, please keep them all coming. So all the joints in the sheets at internal and external corners are mitred, and silicone put in joints before being fixed off? And that replaces a fillet? Do you fix your soldiers to the whalers at all or just tack nail and then rely on the Z bars?
@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783
@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 2 жыл бұрын
Internal corners mitred, externals not, no need. If tight fit to sheet no silicone. If any gap silicon the back of the joint. (you will see the messy grey bits on the sheet joins) It is important to be water proof for nice looking joins. We just nail one or two x 75mm nail gun nail in each soldier to the whalers (I call them joists) and the z bars do the rest.

Hey thanks for the videos I haven’t watched em all yet so maybe you explain somewhere else but I’m curious if you reuse or trash these black form boards (are they melamine coated mdf?)? Also, how do you line up the conduit holes perfectly for every sheet and what’s your spacing for those? Thanks!
@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783
@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 6 ай бұрын
It is laminated structural plywood with a phenolic resin coating. They provide a good finish for 2 use. But for non architectural work we get about 15 uses from each sheet. Conduit holes is the old measure twice method. I space them to suit the project and the sheets.

The high tensile steel bolts seem way better than any other compression ties I’m seeing out there. The lumber you use looks better suited too. The walls you make are awesome looking. Watching your personal system gives me hope that I can learn how to build forms and walls like this in the united states.
