Carpentry 101: Basics of Wood Framing with MattBangsWood [#1]
Do you want to learn how a basic wall is framed? What’s in it and what exactly it does? In this video I run through everything a wall has in it, from bottom plate to top plates, cripples and studs. By the end of this video, you’ll feel confident looking at a wall knowing exactly what it’s got going on!

Great video! Im looking forward to watching more. I subscribed.
thank you i am learning a lot
Fantastic! I always wondered why studs were 16 on center, why window openings were braced the way they are, etc. Great video man!
Never done this before but from everything I’m reading: Aren’t you supposed to leave 1 inch below and side for window for blocking?
University of Youtube never disappoints in filling in the gaps of the education system 👍
In the CT your roof rafters have to connect to the wall studs it’s code
Blocking also slows the spread of fire in a wall. Houses built with balloon construction would carry fire from the basement to the attic in minutes inside the wall.
I don’t know shit about carpentry, or anything related to construction but I absolutely love this channel and how clear and concise the presentation is.
Fantastic work, now I’m hooked.
Do you have floating studs to later fasten with drywall?
You did it. You cut through the BS and lay it out. You did….and I learned a few things
Great video! Can you frame my house in Colorado???😃
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us in an informative well presented manner.
"pressure treated eaten by things…"
This is more likely to occur in treated wood which has had it’s wood fibers either a) never properly treated to start with (e.g. heart wood spots, knots, etc.) and thus was more susceptible to nature/critters than wood fibers in other parts of the lumber that was properly treated/properly absorbed the treatment, OR b) the wood fibers treatment protection has weakened some to completely failed due to leaching, which can be caused by ground contact, especially with non-ground contact treated lumber (but can also happen in poorly treated/poorly installed/stored lumber), or caused by exposure to various environmental impacts such as contact with chemicals, contact with flowing water, etc.
While ‘well treated’ (lumber received appropriate amount of treatment chemicals, was exposed to proper atmospheric pressures/conditions for the proper amount of time, held at the proper temperature, etc. etc.) treated lumber, especially ground contact grades, using current generation treatment technologies, installed per code, and maintained as necessary given any changes to structure, environmental conditions, etc. … you should never experience any issues.
….However… if you live in the "normal world" like I do, at least 1 if not more of these "proper/appropriate/etc." conditions will NOT be in place/exist; The only perfect carpenter was Christ! Every one of the conditions that are not being met means a greater chance of treatment failure at some level for some type of hazard. The longer these conditions persist, the worse it can be.
Basically, if you buy "good" treated lumber, install it correctly, take care of it, and luck out, you should have to best possible protection available from current generation treated lumber…that doesn’t mean that in this near-perfect scenario of treated lumber will survive any critter attack; you could still be that one treated lumber owner who encounters that rare West Eatwhoodistani beetle or invasive South Grabasisbury ant invasion that proves too much for even the best treatment.
…and a bowl of green M&M’s
If you got this far and understand, you’re at least half as cool as I.
Nice video.!!
Trying to transition from restaurant work to learning contracting. Thanks for this video.
Blocking is also used as a fire break to help keep fire out of the attic if the building catches fire.
LOVE YOU FROM PUNJABI CARPANTERS , IN FUTURE I WANT TO WORK IN FOREIGN NATION AS A CARPANTER , LOVE YOU TO ALL FOREIGN CARPANTERS FROM PUNJAB .
Only thing with your Chanel for drywall is you the. Get a cold corner. Adding a stud and spinng your Chanel blocks 90’ you will still have backing and will get a clear void for insulation
Very informational
Great vid man. Very informative and easy to understand
Excellent video!
This guy was born for this, you can feel his passion.
Appreciate this, real cool and easy to watch and digest
Thanks for your knowledge!
Thanks for all the info i always like your show and always smashing my like botton kaboooooooooooooom
This dude is fast paced! Doesnt bare you!!
Excellent….
‘Blocking’ is also there to slow down a fire. It ‘blocks’ the path of a fire, if originates on the floor.
Wow….the best of all!
I think I’ll just stick to metal Framing 🤔
The “second” or highest top plate is also known as the “crown” plate. Crown plate also laps the top plate of other walls, not just for more strength.
This is the first video I’ve ever watched on construction and I feel like I’m ready to build my first home. If only material costs were low enough that I could build a few practice houses first 😀
Nice 2×6 exterior walls, sign of a man who doesn’t cut corners
I found my calling Matt. Thank you.
Excellent Breakdown of Framing!!!
Thank you!!!
Excellent
As an electrician I would like to say thanks for not putting your blocking at 48” it’s really such a pain. I wish all the houses I rough looked like yours lol
As a PE structural engineer I gotta say you nailed it 😉 well said. It’s also worth mentioning how jambs and headers must be sized for wind loads in some areas. Other than that, the blocking will sometimes be installed with horizontal long edge at all edges of sheathing to allow for edge/field nailing patterns. It’s called a shear wall and works both in wind and seismic forces (lateral loads). Then hold-downs. Overall, well done, I could hire you to educate some shitty cowboy framers I sometimes have to fight…
Hi, if we raise square frames 5 by 3 meters with thickness and width of boards 5 by 30 cm, (for building a cube cabin by conecting then these frames), would the lap joints of the frames be stronger with bolts or screws? And would there be necesary for extra corner strengthening triangular bars ? ( the cabin is planed to be made with 10 such frames with a distance of 70 cm in between, conected with 70 cm pieces of the same board)
Awesome video keeping it simple !
Great video.
Sorry but I have a hard time focusing while a hipster tries to explain carpentry work. Appearance is everything.
need a stud where that roof stud is
you’re just a framer mate not a woodworker

A video similar to this was uploaded last week, a lot of people had a hard time hearing it.. I shot it on a GoPro, due to lack of time. I archived that video, went out and bought a $215.00 lav microphone and shot this on my Sony A7SII. I want everyone to be able to utilize these videos as a learning experience, seeing that some couldn’t wasn’t right, so I recreated this.

BANG ON!
Outstanding video, learned lots-thank you
everyone frames different, i live in new york and we do things different than what this video says in slight ways
we use 1 top plate and stack all the rafters and ceiling beams on the studs
Pretty cool stuff!
Why’s he rockin sunglasses and a perfectly lol placed beanie tho
