Metal studs are better for commercial construction but wood is cheaper.

I find that wood is better to use in homes when building a new room for
major wall, but metal studs can be used for small patches and what not.
Commercial i would go metal studs unless its the exterior wall.

very helpful but i have a few questions. what do i do if i have a 2 inch
plumbing pipe that is running horizontally? Can i just drill a hole and
stick the pipe in? Do i need special gromits like the electrical wires do
when they run through a metal stud ? Can i place a standard pipe protector
on the face of the metal stud so a dry waller does not pierce though my
pipe ?

how you make you wood ceiling ?

how about insulating the wall with spray foam instead of rigid insulation
panel?

great video! It’s not boring like other construction vids. :)

and by the way you much rather use an impact then a screw gun. using a
screwgun on metal is going to ruin the clutch. it is meant for drywall

Very good video (this is basically how we did our basement)…only a couple
things i would suggest viewers change slightly. first off, they some kind
of 1″foam board for insulation. I would suggest using 2″, closed-cell foam
board (held against wall by foam board adhesive ran vertically (ceiling to
floor) it’s not necessary to also mechanically anchor the foamboard to the
foundation…it isnt going anywhere with the metal studs up against it).
Secondly, they didnt tape their foam board seams…you will want to do that
to keep a good moisture barrier. The foam board manufacturer will likely
provide info on what seam tape to use.

just squeeze the stud a little after folding it when cutting much faster
than that moon cut your trying to push on everyone didnt even take the cone
off screw gun and no it doesnt mess up clutch like someone commented

Vice grips used for framing are called “C Clamps” …

We put in a drop ceiling so the pipe was covered.

No you do not need to screw the back side even if you were putting drywall
on the other side. When putting drywall on the other side you can move the
stud a little to make sure the butt joint stud is centered on the end of
the sheet of drywall.

Yes it is but you need to allow room for a 2 x 4 on each side and top of
jamb

Really excellent and professionally produced video. My ceiling tilts
slightly about 8 degrees perpendicular to the top metal stud. I can get the
perpendicular frames perfectlyIs perpendicular. Is that ok or should I use
some kind of wedge to get the top metal frame perfect with no tilt.

There is more than one way to cut studs. I find that cutting in a half moon
works better for me. Some home owner that I have worked with try to cut
straight across the stud and get their tin snip’s stuck. I have found that
this method works for most people.
Walkinginthelight38 · September 10, 2014 at 1:55 PM
metal chop saw and cut bundles much faster
Donald Rush · September 10, 2014 at 2:10 PM
Yes that is fine. Make sure when you screw the track that you only screw
the low side of the ceiling. Putting a stud on each end of the track will
help hold the track at the proper angle when you go to screw it to the
ceiling.
Donald Rush · September 10, 2014 at 2:36 PM
True you can cut the studs short but I still find cutting the studs using
the “moon cut” method easier than cutting straight across the stud..
George K. · September 10, 2014 at 2:55 PM
I noticed you have a copper pipe runnig along the top track, how would you
make a soffit with the metal studs
Q Whit · September 10, 2014 at 2:57 PM
No need to put a screw in the backside of the stud?
Walkinginthelight38 · September 10, 2014 at 3:56 PM
also take the cone off your screw gun,trust me thats the way the pro’s do it
christopher caparros · September 10, 2014 at 4:27 PM
For your safety please use safety gloves when cutting studs and tracks or
any metal to avoid get cut by this cans. Just a friendly advise to all when
doing this type of knowledge video don’t forget safety first. But it’s a
nice video.Thanks
jeffslegacy · September 10, 2014 at 5:16 PM
Actually Midwest Offset Left snips are the best for cutting studs, grant
you, it comes down to preference but they make cutting studs super easy.
They are almost industry standard here in WA. Nice job on the video though.
gringo90100 · September 10, 2014 at 6:13 PM
