Wow now that's high praise, much appreciated...I ran a lot of cross country in hs so i think that exp still helps out today. I had a vo2 max of 57.5 when tested two years later. I think the job sites atmosphere feels a lot like sports competition .. so to embrace that side helps time pass and keep the house moving

@@framingbeast720 wow, Lemond's was 92. I tested at 64. Not Olympic level, but good for some top ten in local races. I ran XC also in HS, fun times but lots of overtraining injuries. Looking back our coaches had no clue

@@trumpetmaris yes, lots of injuries..class of 2001, long before participation trophies were introduced. if I had a dollar for every time I heard the line "are you injured or are you hurt" from my coach id be Warren buffet lol. From. There went to Texas A&M class 109 where in hell week pushed me so hard in 120° heat I died twice on the nurse table..took 3 shots of adrenaline to bring me back. 17 bags of water at the hospital. This stuff is like life's calluses that toughen you up. I fell into framing originally as a way to beef up my resume and the started enjoying it...I guess the rest is history

@@framingbeast720 I discovered right away that no way I was going to run XC in college (UC Berkeley) and be able to study. 10 miles a day doesn't make you fast, just tired and over trained. I paid for college with my wood working skills, working for my disabled vet mentor/father-figure, building custom furniture (and some framing lol). He drilled into my head that I would always have a job with the skills he taught me. Been self-employed since '92 and never look back... I hope your channel and endeavors are working out for you.

@@trumpetmaris I love hearing stories like yours . gotta make your own breaks

Yup, sounds right, get a generals or maybe even an engineers license and your set. Maybe even know people who can draw up the plans, you general the house and like you say sub out trades you don’t needa make that much money on.

I’m 21, I know how to excavate, (can connect water and sewer and electrical) I know how to do concrete footings, foundations, and slabs. Also know how to wire up light switches and outlets, drywall, shingles and just got a job as framer with some good carpentry experience already I think I’m going to make it in life

@@creedcompton2910 looks like you've got most of it covered you just need to sub out the plumbing carpentry painting and HVAC.

You're speaking my language. However, I've worked with plenty of guys that only want to show up and get paid at the end of the week. Some of the hardest workers I knew were like that. It takes a different mindset and financial discipline to run a business, even if you're solo. If you have no desire to take on the responsibilities/stress of being a boss(besides wanting more money), get great at what you do(get certifications, experience, become efficient, learn new trades) and find a company that is willing to pay what you are worth. There's pros and cons to both working for big companies (benefits+, politics-), or small companies (more likely to hire with no experience or teach new stuff+, less job security or room to move up-). The smaller the company, the more likely it is you can get 'equity' or become a partner if you want that sort of thing and are willing to take on the same risks and rewards of the owner. It's not the easiest thing, but I know of multiple 2 partner companies that crush it together. It's kind of a mix of both are employees and employers. The best partners seem to have opposite strengths and weaknesses of each other. If you're young, be honest with yourself about what type of person you are. Its probably self evident and shouldn't take much convincing one way or the other. Its possible to make a decent living either way. There's plenty of work out there if you're good. Sorry for the long post.

I’m a self taught backyard mechanic, trying to become hvac tech, know how to use most power tools, more than excelled with wood working, engineering, and math in my hs career. I just spent 7 years outta hs wasting my life away and now regret it. I feel like my life is over. I wanna be rich and own my own business. I love watching framing tho as of a year ago even tho I’m going for hvac cuz it pays better. I would still love to be a framer

Is your last name de haan by any chance?

My dad was a master carpenter and he is probably turning over in his grave seeing guys use the nail guns nowadays! He use to set 10p in one blow with a hammer.

I’m a sys admin heading in to full time real estate, already mastered the basics of framing, now I’m rehabbing my own units 😃

For sure there's nothing like standing back at her end of the day and literally seeing the fruits of your labor. I'm glad you were able the make a smooth transition from one job to the next. Personally I don't feel as though I could handle a desk style job. I would literally be pulling my hair out. I hear you when you talk about your back as I'm sure most seasoned framers can agree but I'll the physical pain I can deal with, the mental pain of giving up the upside maybe not so much

@@JoniAntonio that's amazing! I bet in your line of work it's a huge asset to know what your talking about so a suspect contractor can't pull the wool over your eyes. Keep it up!

Framing sucks lol enjoy the tech job. This trade sucks. Everyone thinks it looks fun and interesting but its really just wood and nails and back breaking work

@@JoniAntonio mastering framing by watching KZfaq?

Probably the best comment yet. Awesome insight from a carpenter that's clearly been doing this for quite some time. Lol 🤣 I like the chicken little ref. I would more than agree about the benefits of nailing jacks to studs on the flat surface and how framing can test a persons will like nothing else at times. Sometimes your biggest weapon is your ability to mind f yourself and keep chipping away. Once again, awesome post, cheers

If I've ever seen a pro looking comment this is it. Awesome to read - even though I know nothing about framing :)

You said everything right!👍🏽plus when both the nailer and cutter know there jobs and connect together as one .oh man them walls go up fast!

@@joseficher4533Yepper's . I got a bad case of stage 4 cancer two years ago . But I still like to get in the trenches . I can't go full throttle like I used to , But even an old dog like me can get more done than many banging walls in a frenzy . Recently , I needed to supplement my income and worked with some " Master's " .. It was a comedy of errors. They made an ordeal out of everything and all it was was a little 30'x24" garage on a slab. When I got there . I didn't know they already had spent 2 days framing .. 4 exterior walls ???? .. That's it !! and they still had to move window and door jambs . The Ole Sawzall of Doom . . I'd expect this type of accuracy and production from a homeowner or a weekend warrior . But not carpenters that claimed they been doing it all their lives . It was a nightmare working with these idiots. Every time I made a suggestion or showed them an easier way .. " No that won't work !! ".. It's a breeze when you got everyone clicking , The cut man not only cuts accurate but you don't have to go through a lengthy explanation what the cut is . It's an understanding !! . Without even looking . A good cut man knows what the other carpenter is measuring from . A good carpenter can call out something and the cut man doesn't have to have a detailed pictured drawn to understand . Of course , There are cuts that get wicked especially on funky parts of a roof . I have worked crews and on crews where everyone jammed . Then I have worked on crews and lead crews that everyone was stupid and slower than a glacier . Years ago I was working with one crew and the contractor handed me a set of plans to help him bid . He was so excited when I told him the number but told him " You presently don't have the Firepower ". You basically have baboons with toolbelts with the intellect of pocket lint .. So it would be a disaster . " If these guys can screw up Hardi-board this badly ,, Forget trying to get in the league of ultra custom " .. When you got a good crew .. It's like jamming in a band .. When you got a bad crew . You want to jump headfirst off a roof .

My grandpa was exactly like you describe when it came to framing... Old Old School for him, it was 2 hand saws ->cross cut and rip cut, a hip pouch of nails and his 22oz cali framer... ofc he couldn't match pneumatics, but by hand, He was a fucking machine. ALWAYS and only ever 1kiss to grab and 1 swing to drop. Pppffffftt every fucking time. Watched him solo frame an identical 8 house subdivision he landed a contract for once in the early 80's. He ran for 18hrs straight to frame walls only, but all interior walls, cuts too. He drank a 6pk of coors and ate 2 packs of peanut butter on cheese crackers throughout the day but never stopped once for a bite or a sip. I could only imagine him working now with the best tools.

They don’t give you scribe on your boxes! Lol

You have to scribe 20ml of volume off your cabinets?

Sarcasm David sarcasm

girls work lol

Haha yep

NOT this guys work, he don't skimp on the nails, extra nails really hold it together tight.

@@ZAPATTUBE too many nails is worse than not enough nails

@@quackhead7492 I thought so. Im not an expert but too much nails splits the wood. Or I might be getting cheap lumber.

@@quackhead7492 With all do respect. The engineers know more about reading books than they do about doing proper work themselves.

Biggest thing keeping me from considering a switch to trades is worrying about the culture. Different opinions don't have to mean putting down someone else's work if it does the job. At the same time, always gotta be open to learning new stuff. That's the kind of world everyone benefits from, I think.

Something's telling me you do custom high-end framing given that statement which would make it true

I take that to mean “it’s MY work”. You’re work is your signature and plenty of guys can bang out quality stuff no problem. Getting paid by the hour? Milk it right? Not me and probably not the Beast either.

same here

Thanks its my business

Your full of crap

Do you know Jesus, does He know you? If not get right with Him today, come as you are He says and He will restore to you what is lost, God has called you to be a light, walk in it and believe in Jesus, Jesus will raise those who trust in Him at the last day, and the branch and root of wickedness will fall and perish, Amen

40 homes in 3 years so you take winters off or what in utah we do a house every 7 to 10 day's I have almost 40 years in and I can't even guess how many I've built there was a 10 year period from the late 90's till about 2007 my crew was doing 3 a week Salisbury home's in Saratoga springs ,harvest hills that home builder did 10,000 houses in 6 year's we all made bank

@@Box545x39 . In the correct mode is "garbage video" waste time. Do the, do not have big impression on me, if is in your poor brain I very impressed .

I’m not impressed with your grammar

But doesn’t know how to build

Here in Canada 2 rows every 16" for 2x6, and 4 rows every 12" for 2x10 headers. We Normally do wall backers nailed to the side of a wall side like a L shape. The way beast does it, saves time insulating tho.

how expensive are they, just put one, especially those !

I think everywhere has a code for how many nails in a 2x6 a 2x4 and headers etc. Just like metal framing special screws and fasteners are needed. Wonder if he is the licensed contractor on the job if they have to have one.

@@donaldmetts5674 They is the NBC for nail patterns and such, but each province or state will have their own building codes. While those exist the nailing pattern we have to go with is one prescribed by the engineer firm. I've had nail patterns from this light style to 3 rows in 2x6 plates every three inches top and bottom for two feet back from a joint each side with 3.5inch nails. It can get crazy, always have to look for the engineer specs.

@@grasby101 and nailing fast isn't always a good thing you split the wood all out and nothing holds.

Because he is not using a framing gun

@Ejs Home Improvements & Renovations we've used those pancakes on roofing jobs and they keep up with that just fine so i don't see why it couldn't keep up with this framing.

@@Chriznak just stop

Agree

This is so true I have been framing custom homes for the better part of 6 years and did trim work for two, with that being said I know what it feels like to work after a shitty framer and I wouldn’t touch this building with a 10 foot pole

You friggin nailed it. Well put.

Preety sure that’s how they make the big bucks pal.

these are track homes you morons, its impressive for what it is

Yeah I had a hard time watching. Like yeah he’s pretty quick. But I’m quick too, and I’m a headache ocd Tourette’s anxiety all that shit I need stuff flush square proper nailing pattern etc. Then at the end I thought wait that’s only like a 12 ft wall

Then his gun his couplers his boots, he must be buying 300 $ tools all the time. Did you see him just hammer saw that header to fit

Facts

@@renovationsandmore7142 that's why I spoke about quality. And actually builders here appreciate care put into it. Like I was commenting on Brian BigBClark "level plumb and square" I'm actually fast and can do a uniform job, hence why I said I'll post one day and I'll make sure to include you to show you it takes no extra Time to do a stand up job... Just to clear it up if this is the video I'm thinking it is I was referring to stomping the header in and kicking things into place rather than grabbing your hammer and using it like it's made for. And if people ie builders don't care about the quality that's just sad because it does matter nailing patterns do matter guarantee your hoses which I assume are built like this guys since you're defending is going to fall down in high winds where is mine will withstand hurricanes (obviously that's a little stretch) Again if I recall 2 nails in 2x6 is not code three nails is code. 2x4 sure all day but mine are going to be about 3/4 from the top of the plate and 3/4 from the bottom of the plate on a slight downward and upward angle where is your nails will be 3/4 away from each other giving you a fully rotational stud pretty cool illusion though Mr. Bitchy defending all the hackies.

@@renovationsandmore7142 I did rewatch it so I can be fair with what I'm saying I still agree with everything I just said but this wasn't quite the video I was thinking of for nails in that header is NOT code so don't tell me it is and I can see things aren't flush so my new comment is more what I was talking about the first time and it's way more innocent and needed way less defense than your comment made it seem.

He is also working smart . Which will make you look like your working hard.When you guys that are watching .When you get this good you should be working for yourself.Not saying that this guy isn't the boss..Like I said as a Business owner and a working man.The only way to get respect from your employee's is to work this hard side by side with them.It inspires some to want to be better.Had 3 of them work for me 10 years.Keep showing the public on how hard framer's work all day and never have a minute to talk about our 401k plan,or our 2 week paid vacation.Or maybe our health insurance,Did I mention that it's 5 below and sometimes 105 outside.So when you are sitting around a playing the pity game about your job.Think of this guy.

Exactly how does a very fast framer, a medium pace framer and a slow framer differ from your job being easier or harder?

@@marine9583 Easier by getting out of my way so I can run water, drainage and vents in the walls when I need to and having the walls straight and centered.

There is probably going to be alot of weight at that area of interest where there is more than one stud. Probably ceiling support.

That would be such a time consuming way to frame!! Solid I bet though
