I don’t know why every so often this video shows up but I have to watch it. He explains everything so well. Would like to see the students build something too.

To all the negative comments below, this is obviously a very short class on the day one basics of metal framing. Please think before you comment to make yourself feel good and smarter than the man teaching the class. He has taken the time to begin the process of teaching these young men. Although the lesson may be missing some very basic proceedures, they will most likely cover that a little later. Thank you sir for your time to help these young men on thier career path.

Been around construction since I was 13...mainly HVAC and refrigeration...mechanical engineer now ...BUT even at the ripe old age of 57? I still learned a couple things from this video...thank you very much for sharing this...

Great lesson. A helpful addition would be to demonstrate the cuts made on the saw and by hand. Thank you. My homeschooled sons loved it!

This video was very informative, I am planning on an outdoor kitchen using these metal studs , so this helps

This is exactly what I wanted to learn! Thanks Mr. Ramirez, you're a great instructor and teacher!

This is actually what I was looking for. The negativity is unnecessary!!!

Thank you Mr. Ramirez. Now I feel confident to frame out my outdoor kitchen.

Thank you. I might not get fired this week . Fake it till u make it !!!!

I'm a computer scientist and I have no intention of getting into building frames, but I found your video fascinating to watch and very informative.

I was a wood carpenter for 5 years ... I started my first metal stud job 2 years ago ...... I was so nervous so I watched this video literally a day before starting my metal framing job ..... now I’m a journeyman running a 4 man crew 3 framers and one more journeyman .... 🙌🏽

omg all instructors should present the material in this format great job

Extremely useful video! Thank you so much for putting this together! - Up until now, I did not know anything about metal framing. Learned a great deal today! -Thank you so much, Mr. Ramirez!

Thank You so much, I’ve learned a lot!!! Much appreciated. 🙌🏾👊🏾

Rigo! You are a natural. Great job teaching these kids and me too!

Thank you for posting this! Great lesson and gives me so good ideas for my upcoming BBQ build!

I am preparing to install metal studs so this lesson was exactly what I needed, thanks very much, Mr. Ramirez.

Im 47 and went to Harpers ferry job corp/ united brother hood of carpenters and joiners of america pre apprenticeship.. i helped build the luxor*in vegas* and a couple of other big jobs b4 i switched to framing.. Thank You Dale & Mark for teaching me the basics.. Life is Good! To all young Men: get a trade make $$$ steady

I’m a Philadelphia, Pa Job Corp alumni class of 1993. It’ nice to the advancement of the program I learned a great deal from all my instructors keep up the good work.

Wow, that was very cool! Huge amount of info in a very short time. You demonstrated many types of metal-to-metal joints and many types of complex wall openings in a VERY short period of time. And much of the nomenclature. The magnetic level is much easier to use than the traditional level on wood. Thanks, I will have to try steel framing on a small project.

Absolutely outstanding presentation! Thanks.

Awesome lesson thank you, I've got a 14.5' wall with a door opening that will be easy cake now.

he explained it so well.......thank you very much for the video.

honestly to the people who wanna learn "metal framing". Its very easy and not difficult at all just watch your instructor carfully and do not hessitate to ask questions. I never went to school for it I just immediatly jumped into it due to my step dads friend for allowing me to work. im 21 and just started last week. Its a fun and very busy trade. Also always remember safty comes first always!. this is a trade where you must pay close attention or you or your partner/crew might end up hurt.

Great lesson! I hope to see more videos like this.

This is the perfect video what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing

I just finished building an outdoor kitchen using metal studs. The good news the granite tops didn’t collapse my frame… actually i overbuilt this thing. I wish I would of watched this prior to the build. Best takeaway is the stud’s openings should have small opening pointing down

Your training is greatly appreciated thank you 🎯🍻

Thanks Mr Ramirez. It was concisely information.

Great video, well explained for these young apprentices. Who by now should almost be journeymen.

Good video for understanding how to work with metal studs. Thanks.

Thanks for naming the types of cuts. I'm planning on building a tiny home on wheels using steel studs.😉

Excellent video, very informative. Cheers.

Much respect to these guy who has educate me a little more

Thank you for posting this you have helped me SO much THANK YOU

Great demonstration.

I found this so helpful I went to look for more videos from Mr. Ramirez but only found one other.

great video for the newbees thanks

Good video, good information. Thanks

Great Video! For people wanting to build an outdoor steel frame there is now a better alternative to track and studs called connectubes. Connectubes uses 1 1/2 galvanized steel rectangular tubes that are joined together with steel couplers and self tapping screws. No welding needed. It is sold wholesale to the public and is around the same cost as 18 gauge track and studs.

Great video, gracias maestro!

I hope this guy teaches the importance of layout so that the stud orientation is correct. I joined the union where I am after having moved 600 miles north and these idiots up here learned long ago the wrong way to turn studs and hang drywall so that the board is left protruding on one side because of this and starting the wrong direction with their hanging. I had to get it straight from Dietrich and print it for some of them to believe me...lost it, but need to get it in letter format again and tape it to every game box on every job. It's something so simple that so many get wrong too often up here in NY upstate.

Thank you this video is really informative and easy to understand. Can we use metal stud to do a exterior privacy wall around a backyard patio to attach horizontal wood fenching? If yes if I expose the stud would the utah weather destroy it in time? Any suggestions please and thank you

Great beginners tutorial .

Very educational! I would love to see the next lesson.

very good lesson and using all the ppe necessary

The difference between a stud and a track is the "flange" on a stud which has a 90° leg of 1/4" at the end that adds rigidity, this usually comes after the leg which is called a flange in a stud and the flange is usually 1-1/4" on a non structural stud and 1-5/8" on a structural stud and a track has a 90° leg of 1-1/4". You can order an unpunched stud so you can't always go by the opening on a stud to say that it is a stud.

Great Instruction!! I learned something today.. I wonder if its cheaper wood framing or metal framing.. I talk to some of the old timers and I think they are biased on wood...

Just the information I needed. Thanks :)

Rigo you do a great job teaching 👍

About to frame out a fireplace, and would love to know what screws are being used.

Excellent for beginners....

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you :)

Thank you Mr Ramirez!

From Sagada Philippines. We're planning to make our small Mt house with metal framing. This basic lesson really2 helps me much. It was well planned, straight to the point with my time well spent. It was like sex you don't want it to end 😂. Thanks Mr Ramirez. Keep up the good videos.

Excellent lesson.

Thank you for this Video please make more vdeos too help us the DIYers out thank you this was helpful💯

This was an excellent training class. What does he say at 17:49 "cold rolled runner?" I'm seeing results for "Cold Rolled Channel"

Thank you sir for such good instructions on building a steel stud wall. I learned something new already.

Thank You for Your time and Help👍

Thank you for the training

Thank you 😊 Can we use extruded aluminum as studs or is that no it structurally sound

Excelente clase

Thank you Mr.Ramires for your training it was so good very easy to understand,I just have a question,what's the name of the part that hold the 2 metal studs in the hole where the plumbing or electric ?

Great Job amigo. Also like the watch.....

I always wondered what came of the stand and deliver students….. this teacher is definitely using that advanced math.

Loved it when the student wrote on the stud and the teacher thought it was real

I love metal framing

Great instructions... I shared.

Great video! What type of fasteners/screws are you using? Thx.

Good instruction.

THANK YOU. I GOT THE LESSON. I CAN INSTALL A PARTITION IN MY ROOM NOW.

excellent! love the basic knowledge! next is mastery

Fantastic video Sir. can you show more? thank you

good video.

Very helpful...Thanks.

've seen on KZfaq where metal stud walls are being put up in basements. The metal stud wall is just inches away from the basement cement wall. They only put one screw in the bootm of the metal stud and one screw in the top of the metal stud. With only one screw at the top and bottom of the studs, would the studs be strong enough to hold two sheets of 5/8 drywall. One sheet put on and the second one put on top of that one?

great job sir

Mr. Ramirez, I was hoping you could help me with a question. We have a commercial building (restaurant) with metal stud walls. Because we wash the floor every night the bottom of the studs are beginning to rot due to the excessive water intrusion. Can I cut the bottom of the studs one at a time and replace just the bottom portion?? NOTE: The damage covers approximately 8" up the bottom of the wall studs so I would want to cut and replace the bottom 8 " if possible.

buen video rigo

:03 for a second there I thought he was going to blame someone for killing his father.

Thank you for showing this

buen maestro Good Teacher

Thank you.

I have a question about the screws used. We never get to see the screws using up close. Most self tapping metal screws have a head on them that when driven down to its head still leaves the thickness of the head sticking up from the face of the metal stud surface. When you go and try to install dry wall on to a metal framed wall those screw heads will force your dry wall out the thickness of the head. In other words, the dry wall won't sit flush to the metal stud because the thickness of the screw heads suspend it away from the metal stud. How do you make the dry wall sit flush to the metal stud?

Good job 👏 👍

Hello, Mr instructor looks like you know a thing or two. Here at Baptiste, we have 8yrs formal training and the proper use of instruments for our trade is vital to fellow manufactures spec. Too have a level upright is called plum not leveled to have it leveled is from left to right

Make more videos! 👍

Thanks for sharing

Awesome

Do More videos, they r very useful

Thanks man!

Nice

Informative for a beginner but for doorways you need to double up studs on either side and the header gets a center stud

Nice well done

9:25 If you're doing a long wall it may help to put the top channel on the ceiling first. Having that bottom track on the floor while you're putting the top track up really gets in the way and can catch a lot of damage.

Thank you

what does the hard hat do for you in this precise situation?

What do you do when you can’t get to the back side? It’s going to be against the insulated block wall.

Overall a good video. The comments about "using a square" and all that other stuff is being too picky and some of it is actually incorrect. Maybe you guys should make a video to back him up? Just an idea. Maybe he'll make a pt 2 going into more detail for an advanced group. Good beginner video.
