Watch out for scam carpenters like Ben Brose He wants money upfront for shoddy work and throws a tantrum when asked for receipts of materials

Carpentry can be looked at from many different angles! Good stuff 👍
Comment from : @RoofCarpentryCourse

how long have you been a carpenter?
Comment from : @shiks1581

I have been struggling with finding inspiration and feeling like it’s worth staying in carpentry This gave me some good insight to remember why my skill set is valuable and how many opportunities there are for a skilled carpenter Great perspective🙏🏼

I am a hard working carpenter but i have to say I am inwardly an angry man! The curved benches are far and few between! There are also a lot of tossers in the world not all of them clients!
Comment from : @doghouse3464

Yes I saw my bosses have all the risk and no reward! Busted up marriages the lot I always wanted to be a builder but I didn't have the brains to be good enough! It's a tuff gig But loved the 8 years I did it

Hay Bud is 40 too late to be a carpenter?
Comment from : @bd1048

Hi Sir Dave I want to know if it is possible for me to join in your Team as a Carpenter?
Comment from : @divusbesario

It’s not about the money, it’s more like a hobbie
Comment from : @fhkawahara

I work in a white collar job and have no skills with my hands
Comment from : @mdlusopp

I work in the office and feel like I'm doing nothing purposeful but attend useless meetings and make the boss richer so soul destroying and mentally draining
Comment from : @mdlusopp

Not worth it in Canada, did a 4 year red seal apprenticeship and have 10 years experience, average wages for residential are around $30-$38/hour in bc, commercial is slightly higher
Comment from : @anand8905

I'm 21 and know fuck all Should I go to trade school or keep calling business's in my area to find an apprenticeship?
Comment from : @Rio_422

I've been a carpenter for forty years and I say no its not worth it I wouldn't recommend it
Comment from : @Skinnymoose

I wish I would of gotten into carpentry
Comment from : @Joeywilkins_27

Do you actually drop some comparative hourly rate figures I didn't hear anything but general ranking of who makes more
Comment from : @miguelclarkeottovonbismarck

Its not for everyone and not everyone can earn the higher bracket eitherbrFor me personally, as a kid who grew up in nature, chippy is my absolute favorite job in the world and have been since i first made a wooden plane as a kid with my grandfather 🥲
Comment from : @Nath-sn1mv

Yes I left a lucrative career in aerospace R/D The corporate world was stealing my soul I became a remodeling carpenter and ultimately a master carpenter Over ten years later, I’m making just as much money… best part? I look forward to going to work every single day I’m one of the lucky people that can honestly say I love what I do for a living
Comment from : @NoetherPoint

great video Dave, well done!
Comment from : @martyncalleia768

I would say no Going rate for a carpenter is £25 an hr If the give you £30 they want the moon on a stick You basically the site manager and a carpenter at that point So no its not enough to buy a house and building things you will never own gets kind of soul destroyingbrbrI just want hang My own doors , lay my own floor , pannel my own hallway But that work will not earn enough to buy your own house You can't live in job satisfaction
Comment from : @avancalledrupert5130

I just started at age 41, and it's exactly as you describe Each day is different and there's more difficult days than easy, but in the end when exhausted, you can look at the accomplishment and feel proud However I really do feel we are all underpaid for the amount of work being done I still love it
Comment from : @jamesmckay6106

Need more Asian carpenters in Australiaway too many in plastering & tiling!brAlso chippies should stay in their lane & don’t do the plastering!
Comment from : @dartymcphee6738

If your hikoki gun is misfiring due to magazine… use a dry lubricant… don’t use dw40… it will work its way up to the firing pin and will stop the gun working all together- this is because the gun has magnets up the top inside the mechanism… I know because I did this on my own gun😢
Comment from : @MarkSutcliffe-cw5on

Did a lot of house frameup help years back, hard hot work at times, but I always loved the feel, smell, and handeling of all types of wood!
Comment from : @PatriciaTomberlin

Hi I work with Family Handyman We would love the chance to work with some of your videos I have messaged you on Facebook and Instagram Let me know if you would like more details
Comment from : @tabithadurdenTMB

Love your take on work I was looking at learning to be a heavy diesel mechanic because the money is really good but Im much more drawn to carpentry and feel like it has lots of utility outside the job as well
Comment from : @nando8408

I would wake up in the morning and think about what had to be done on the job that day I would look forward to getting to work and getting the tools out and getting into the job I have no regrets about taking on carpentry Don't forget that the carpenter runs a job
Comment from : @petermortensen8022

I’m a 50 year old carpenter ex builder I never wanted to be a carpenter because dad was a builder/ carpenter and I spent my weekends and holidays doing hardwood frames brBut I love it I love the hands on so being a builder sucked I just work for customers that I’ve had for 25 years I hate having employees and just work by myself
Comment from : @adrianspies2788

the houses these days are full of cheap rubbish chip wood
Comment from : @adamali2886

A lot of tradies are robbing people
Comment from : @adamali2886

Honestly no its not You'll fuck your body and the pays shit Far more money in other trades
Comment from : @MrMaxm144

Do u need carpenters ?
Comment from : @Saifidar

I wish my son got to do his apprenticeship with you Great video!
Comment from : @bradbarker8286

Ha ha so true My house is the same half jobs all over
Comment from : @shaunkenny6922

my best advice for anyone joining the carpentry life is dont expect to make money every day and it take loads of time to invest in all the tools and getting the knowledge behind us
Comment from : @CPCarpentry2022

I start my apprenticeship on the 29th Im looking forward to it
Comment from : @ezekielgdk

Appreciate this content mate Loving carpentry but sometimes get worried about how I'll get more than an hourly but don't want to go full builder Do you have any tips on making margins without being a builder?
Comment from : @nrhoofcare7724

Being a chippy or builder is really cool as you have many different skills including running the jobsite and tools to do whatever you wantbrWorst thing is your less skilled mates like the sparky and plumber earn more and expect you to work on their house for half the hourly rate they charge 😂
Comment from : @brad5227

Great video, i tried to become an electrician, and it was so repetitive and boring that i had to give it up
Comment from : @colezee7640

100 man Ever since I started carpentry, I never look back The scope of works carpenters do compared to other trades is second to none
Comment from : @xXiiBet

Hey I really like your work and videos Which state are you in?
Comment from : @asifkhorrami384

So I want to be a carpenter should I work by myself first or go with a company
Comment from : @dragon_military_man5

Two questionsbrWhat's a good way for a novice to learn some building skills but NOT do a full on apprenticeship ?brbrAnd would you ever do jobs for a client an allow them to be involved in the workie like an "apprentice" even if they had no building skills or experience ?
