So You Wanna Save Time? Rake Wall Framing Simplified

Idk if this is intentional, but if it is well done sir. I just realized my phone has 2 speakers 1 at either end, and when you were on one side of the frame the sound was on the same side. I believe this is a testament to your videography. Whether intended or not I see your skill and hard work you put into the content. Also love your guys taste in music, 90s kids ftw.

I found the math part of this interesting, because I know you are always looking to be more efficient/save time, and you could actually reduce/eliminate most of the measuring. Most of the math isn't even complicated. There are really just two ratios that are going to be relevant - maybe four actually if you count the inverse of those two, but for the most part, just the two. The first one is the pitch itself. You can either divide the pitch out - ex. 5 / 12 = 0.41667 - or just treat it like a fraction. I noticed at one point you were measuring each stud and saw that the differences in length are always 10" - it's a 5/12 pitch, and you have 24" stud spacing, so 5 x 24 / 12 = 10. The difference in length is always double the pitch with 24" spacing. The math also works with any other stud spacing, though the numbers might not be as clean. If you had 16" stud spacing for example, it would be slightly more complicated, but you could still just multiply the 16 by that fraction - ie., 5 x 16 / 12 - and that would be the difference in length from one stud to the next along the same pitch. This works for any other distances, and since it's just a ratio, it works in any units as well (you get the same units out as you put in - inches, feet, centimeters, meters, etc.). The other useful ratio is the length along the roof pitch vs. perpendicular/level length. You calculated this repeatedly with the construction calculator, but if you get the ratio, all you'd have to do is a simple multiply. The Pythagorean Theorem is used for this, and it's a very useful algorithm and worth looking up, but this is the easy version: Divide out the roof pitch, (ex. 5 / 12). Then square that number. Add one. Then square root. The result is the ratio between lengths along the pitch vs. lengths along the ground. It's also actually the ratio between the thickness of a board when it is perpendicular to the ground, vs. how much height it adds when tilted by the roof pitch. In the case of a 5/12 roof, it's 1 5/8" for 2x lumber. Ie., sqrt((5 / 12)^2 + 1) x 1.5 = 1.625

Thanks for showing the time spend on teaching and quality conrol (measure twice, cut once). And the occasional oopsie everybody makes, and then corrects themselves. I will never be a framer (Netherlands is brick and cement built mostly), but i love seeing your techniques and ideas.

I love that flush trim router on a stick!

Always worth it….my boy and I love your channel. Watch it every evening when new vids come out. Good work

Love your videos and your mindset when working, some guys snap lines on the floor and build from that but I like this method better, subscribed!

Keep it coming 🥳🥳🥳 As always... absolutely fabulous 🥳🥳🥳

The router with the handle… I need that in my life

The symmetry and coordinated production between you and your swayer is spectacular. I always look forward to your Sat PM videos as I watch them, Sunday morning with my coffee...................very relaxing and rewarding. Could I please ask what is the Yellow/Black hook type thing on your tool belt, behind your right side pouches? Keep up the amazing work!

Awesome

What’s the name of the App you use to work out your angles? I watch you guys for a refresher and use some of your ideas on my project down under. Do you have an app that converts imperial to metric. Thanks TonyO

Hello from montreal

My mistake four Weeks out! Happy New Year!!

Tim, are you aware that there is only left channel audio sometimes on your videos?

what diablo 40teeth blade is he talking about ? im keen on trying it out ! :)

Two questions . 1st. Explain the tape on the plate and the tape on the rake calls . What was the saw you used to cut the sheathing .mahalo

I see all videos I wanna work same jobs which state you working

Love the 80s music intro lol

Now you need to learn to walk on a rake wall 2 by 4

I would have use 6 inch fasteners in that DBL king to header bond in our jurisdiction. 1:1 for screws 1:1.5 for nails is the rule
