House Framing 101 - Timber Frames Explained

This video goes over the bascis of house framing, what everything is called and the names given to all the different parts of a frame.

This is a frame I've built in Austlralia. I love seeing the differences in building codes and styles around the world, so in this video I also compare a few differences in this frame, compared to timber/wood frames that I've seen in the US

Dig your vids mate, love it how you just calmly, without ego explain your work

As someone who has just purchased their first investment property, this video was great in explaining the various framing structures. Informative when you specified the measurements and building codes, and type of timber used in each element. Will consider framing my own house one day! Good to know these things when looking at houses for structural soundness.

Thank you for including american framing terms and differences. Im an aspiring apprentice and that really helped bring attention to how beautiful you and your accent are❤.

[ashtondrake]

Very clear, concise explanations! Good work!

[anguscuthbert]

Great explanation on everything mate keep up the great work

[KaesOner]

Thanks Dave! As a sparky and fridgy who's always been fascinated in carpentry, your videos help me scratch that itch. (Although now im tempted to quit my hard-earned career and start a carpentry apprenticeship)

Is it possible for you to do a video on how to do a Frame Inspection. Mate I love your videos. As a student, I find your videos very interactive. With lots of examples. I am aspiring to become a Building Inspector. If you would be kind enough to do either a series of small videos or one full length video where you go through each part of the frame and tell us what to look out for when doing a frame inspection. That will be great

Great explanation mate. Be careful to allow a minimum of 15mm between the top reveal and head trimmer on all windows as per the AS, some windows looked like they were flirting with it. Keep up the good work bud.

[JustEPIC]

Your knowledge is amazing, really loving your explanations!! 🙌🏻

[tbmillion]

Loving your content Dave! Informative, humble and you seem like a genuinely nice guy. If you can turn up on time and do what you say you’ll do then you’ll dominate. Keep it up.

[smithchip]

Thanks mate...Great content, you are really a smart dude to actually understand and explain the engineering behind. It would be great if you can make another video on reading the engineering plan on site while framing and explaining the common mistakes made, such as non compliance items

[oskarproy]

Love the in depth explanations, sensational vid bro!

[Carolus_REX]

Thank you for the explanation. In Holland we prefabricate all these walls because of the weather. I engineer these walls, we have outside walls with 38x235mm studs, because of our insulation standards.

Excellent One of your best videos. Thank you

One thing about the lintel positioning, I like the ease of putting them up against the plate, but a small consideration is the extra load bearing of the cladding that would be fixed below the lintel and potential ceiling joists/battens inside. It’s probably inn-effectual but something to consider.

[rastiffi]

Mate, these videos are brilliant. Keep it up.

[giantman]

Great videos. I don't think I have ever seen a lintel installed like that, certainly never detailed one installed that way.

Dave, you are GUN! Your videos are so good, your explanations clear and spot on. You are so polite with coworkers, right on spec with what you do in every way. You have a huge career, interesting to see which direction you go. You'd be a top certifier (shish!) or presenter for The Block (ha!). Seriously but, I have owner-built two houses and renovated a third and your explanations would be very helpful for OBs starting out so bare them in mind as you make content, even though apprentices and builders are your main viewership.
PS: I have noticed in US vids they don't use nogs....is that 'cos they sheet the entire building? Whatdya think of that - seems incredible bracing but cost more?

[shaneashby]

Great video Dave you guys build pretty much exactly the same way as we do here in Adelaide.

[ziyuanwang]

your explaination is so clear! You are smart!
