Today we stayed in the classroom to learn the basics of stud wall framing. We received a print out of the Australian standards for wall framing and learnt a few things about them such as the main components of a stud wall, which are jamb, jack and common studs, noggings, top and bottom plates, lintels, sill trimmers and bracers. We then proceeded to do cutting lists based on some simple house plans. Figuring out the studs is what i consider to be the most time consuming aspect of the cutting list, with plates and noggings relatively easy parts. For example all the spaces between windows and doors, which are just straight up and down studs running from top plate to bottom plate, must be first figured out. Then that total length must be divided by the stud spacing requirement either 600mm for single stories or 450mm for the lower level of a two story house.
We also set upour drawing boards by outlining the border and putting in the margin on the right hand side, which had our names, the scale and the project in it.
