Bear With Small Brain challenged by studding head....

Well , it's not flat and level like normal ones . This one is at 25 degrees. What to do? Have a look...

All 100 by 50, but set at  25 degrees. And so  that means that the head needs to be chamfered otherwise it'll push the PB out of line ...

So I chopped off a small triangle (see detail above) so the face was vertical. To make the back of the studding work for the PB on the other side, should I nail the off-cut to the back of the stud?

 

Or doesn't it matter?

I've seen people do that on YT.....I'm not that confident.....

I think I'll do it the 'proper way'  (Ed's phrase) 

Christ I'm learning hand-over-fist........... thanks to you all.

 

Its easier than you think.  Just a matter of making sure your measurements are spot on the first, second and third time you check. Much easier to get a good swing at it with the hammer to drive in the nails when you have it flat  on the floor.

Right. I going to give it a go using spare 2 by 4  (loads from the shuttering).

Now that I think of it, though Declan, my stupid hands.... means I was intending to screw everything together....

Screws or nails wont matter. Use what ever method suits you.
