>>935252Couple of years ago a film company hired one of my cars for filming.
I ended up wandering around the sets out of boredom/curiosity, and I met a couple of guys building "flats".
Flats are walls used for interiors/exteriors.
Plasterers then give walls texture such as brick or wood paneling something of that nature. Or even plaster over the plywood to make it look like drywall.
Its basically wall framing, same as houses. ( google for pictures)
Even the studs are placed 2' or 24" apart, for even spacing between standard 8'x4' sheets of ply.
So I ended up tagging along with these guys and got hired on the spot.
$200 a day. I know the others were getting way more.
Things are incredibly fast paced and fuckups, due to tight schedules, are not tolerated but I still found it easy to learn.
There was another crew building doors and windows and I spent some time with them too.
I had some DIY experience but knew nothing about framing on the first days so I did minor stuff like stapling ply to the frame, sanding, gluing, or assembling the studs together with a borrowed drill.
By the second week I was helping hang doors, and cutting rails on windows with a handheld router.
There were painters and varnishers finishing doors and exteriors too, but they were under a much tighter schedule.
Two major things among the many that I wished I'd learnt were reading blueprints and measuring.
Anyway, point was that framing isn't that difficult to pick up.
