"With a nail gun this is real easy." Larry, you are a nail gun.

From the start, Ryan was very helpful and is continuing to be helpful about his youtube.com/post/UgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5… Plans . Also, they have answered all the questions I have asked & I got outstanding support from his My Shed Plans full package.

I only recently found Larry Haun's videos here on youtube, I could sit and watch for hours as he cut and nailed away a new home before my eyes, always with the kind of attitude that anyone could do it too. I'm thankful for his time on this earth, he was a skilled craftsman and a patient teacher, always giving away his knowledge to those who would like to listen. Now it's our turn to take up the mantle and carry it forward till someday we teach the next generation. Rest in peace friend.

If i'm framing at 80 I will be a happy man... what a great man and great framer. RIP Larry
-
He was 80 years old when he shot this video. Born in May 1931, passed away in October 2011. (Just a few months after this video was posted.) RIP Larry. You certainly worked hard.

Dude drives nails like a fkn boss
-
I have been framing for 30 years and still can pick up a few tips from this great man ,thanks for posting.
-
When Larry Haun said “that’s the king stud” at 2:40, he should have pointed at himself
-
I was so impressed by this older gentleman then to read he has passed away was so sad. suppose we all gotta go eventually, but he seemed like he had a lot of knowledge to share. thanks for capturing some of it on video for the rest of us.
-
Thank goodness he decided to make these videos, not just so we could learn, but so that we could be introduced to such a decent and talented man.
-
Larry didn't drive nails in, they just moved out of the way of his hammer out of respect.
-
Larry is a true framing legend, he in my opinion is the best house builder I have ever seen! If these videos are up to date when they were posted then Larry left us just a few months later from this video. RIP Larry Haun.
-
what a legend, what a guy. he is sorely missed.
-
Him and his brother are actually in the Guinness record book for framing a house. Dude was a legend !
-
Larry Haun, in my opinion, was the greatest framer there ever was. RIP
-
Can’t get any better than this man! Years of Experience and wisdom! Will show up any young rookie any day and eat them for lunch!
-
He shared some great tips like wearing a nail pouch around back so you don't have to staighten up to grab a nail and I like the way he used the hammers claw to pick up boards. Working without messing up his back is probably the reason he could still outpace the young guns.
-
Bless Larry. I got a little emotional watching it. Not only was he still working in his 80s he was still teaching in videos when he could’ve easily just focused on his work. If you work for companies these days all they want is experience and nobody has time to teach you because it takes time away from Them. He had all his fulfillment. He had money, a loving family. Status. He was truly for the people.
-
RIP, Larry Haun. Larry was one always ready to share his wealth of knowledge and experience both in the books he wrote and in videos. Sir, with humility and deepest respect, I lift a glass to the honor of your memory.

I had bought Larry’s framing videos back in the 90s when considering a career in construction. I always enjoyed the challenge of hand nailing even when the guns arrived. So I loved the videos watching Larry and Joe work as efficiently as anyone with a nail gun. I also took in some commentary I had read about when these videos were being made. Cameramen and camera crews work very hard. I had read someone recording during the making of these videos that, Larry in his 60s, would routinely outwork the entire camera crew. They’re not building workers like this anymore.
