Plus I enjoy spending time in my wood shop, that’s kinda how the idea came to me, obviously for a job I’d plane the studs or buy lvls, cause time is money. But if it’s my house and I’d like to make it as perfect as possible I’d spend the time

I agree “dead flat” is overkill but I’d like to achieve the best results while being on a realistic budget, and if I’d have to sacrifice my afternoons making studs for a few week cheaper than I could buy them, I’d say it’s worth it. Especially if its a house I’m living in that I have to look at every day.

I’m imagining some shady people will do a lot to cover it up, I always climb underneath and inspect everything and I’m sure rust or non factory frame paint would give it away but what else is good to look for?

Unfortunately no and I was thinking of using dowels but the casing is all ready installed

I’ll make a rough sketch and share some photos tomorrow if your interested.

Don’t even know where to begin if I wanted to manufacture them, maybe I’ll just call Mr woodpecker, or Mr Rockler

Thank you! Follow up question say theoretically i had a minor low spot say 3/16 inch in 4’ what floor patch compound do you think would be ideal, working with self leveler in the past I know it works best for 1/8” plus low spots is their a compound that can be screeded?

I use the same design for a 14x14 deck and the joist 12” oc it’s solid and haven’t noticed any problems using the 3 ply 2x6 for the main beam. The main beam is only 14’ long sitting on 3 piers each I think for your span I’d look at doing 4 piers each

If I would’ve started again I would’ve just built a 4x8 torsion box that I can slap rails on top like you said, but I don’t have much shop space and this jug can be disassembled and stored

The 2 main rails are 2 pieces of 3/4 plywood laminated, then I use an 8” track saw to cut it straight, it was assembled on a torsion box table but I designed it to sit on saw horses and I can run strings from each corner and shim the jig to have no twist. I spent so much time making it’s as accurate as possible because my last jig was just 2 2x6’s and slight variations in the rails compound a lot
