You just solved a problem I had with creating a railing under my deck! We had pavers installed and I need to attach a railing to the metal poles supporting the deck and sun-room above. Ramsetting a 2x6 on either side of the steel poles gives me a perfect foundation for attaching my railings. Thanks.

I just wanted to add a quick tip I use when my drive pins don't sink in as far as I would like. I load the Ramset with another shot but not another pin, I place it over the head of the half sunk drive pin and fire the Ramset a second time. My Ramset is a hammer fired one but I'm sure this would work with the trigger ones as well.

Nice! We actually do that too occasionally, works really good in sending the pin home!

@TheeRogerWayne 2 жыл бұрын

My house was built in 64. the poles I'm encasing are just supporting the beam, there's no other framing connected to them. I'm just going to use adhesive for the 2 initial 2 by 6's, and then screw those to the other 2 boards, because I don't want to bore holes into the poles. In my case I feel like that method will be sturdy enough as it is. Once it's sheetrocked and trim tacked on the bottom, that thing isn't going anywhere.

Ur videos r very inspiring and I hope one day to b as knowledgeable as u r. Thank u for ur time but I have just one question: I noticed the heads of those nails standing quite proud on the wood. I’m assuming ur going to hammer them in the rest of the way?

@BasementFinishingMan 4 жыл бұрын

Yes...sometimes they will stop short of sinking the head of the nail into the wood. In this case you simply take your hammer and knock the head all the way into the wood surface. If the nail has broken through the hollow rolled steel column into it's core, It's easy to pound the nail-head into the wood 100% with your hammer. If you can't hammer it in, just bend it over or pull it back out and then shoot the column again. Thanks for watching Nicholas! ~Eddie

Eddie - Thanks for your vids...they've been super helpful as I have been refinishing my basement. A quick question. Have you ever, instead of using ramset and nails, drilling holes and using screws to accomplish the same thing. So, if someone wasn't comfy (not me...a friend of mine :)) with shooting nails into a metal pole..that they could drill holes and use screws instead?

@BasementFinishingMan 3 жыл бұрын

I guess you could John, but that's the long way around to doing it. But yes you could lag into the steel by pre-drilling and then using proper metal screws. ~Eddie

@BasementFinishingMan 4 жыл бұрын

It's just the very bottom of a full 2" x 6" and will be okay! It's only 8.25 sq. inches of regular wood touching...It won't be rejected by any code officer and perfectly acceptable to do. If your worried about it just keep your 2" x 6" up an 1/8" or a 1/4" off the floor before you shoot it on and proceed as normal. Treated could be used as well if you want...but in my opinion it's just not needed and we don't use it for this application as just the small edge of the regular lumber is in contact...been doing like this for 25+ years and no issues and no call backs!

@BasementFinishingMan 4 жыл бұрын

@Maxima Technically yes, but it's such a small amount touching the floor that it's okay and will not be flagged by a code officer nor will it affect the structural integrity for what we doing.

Yes these guns work too, but it’s a little more difficult to use than the model we’re using simply because you need to strike the back of the tool with a hammer to make it fire the nail...I used to use this type years ago but switched to the trigger model fir simplicity sake...plus the silencer model means no hearing protection needed !

Why would it really be necessary to Ramset the steel pole? Couldn't a guy box it in on all four sides and top and bottom and that would be more than sufficient? I don't think I'd feel comfortable shooting into the pole.

Mr M this is the quickest way to do it. Sure you could box it out on 4- sides, it’s a lot more work and will not be nearly as solid as attaching the framing to the pole itself.
