Gc here but alot of the principles apply. When looking for help I like when you have skills but it's not nessary. If I have to hear I've done it this way for 100 years that's a good way to being exiled. If your willing to learn, show up on time and pay attention then that's all I ask. I have worked with a few mid 30 and 40s handy capable people adhd/physical disabilities there some of the best when they focus. Skills can be taught being bearable to work with can't. I like your segment on safety I carry a big magnum sharpie red colored and when I see something unsafe I mark people's hands fingers ect. Workman's comp claim is far more expensive and disruptive than stop and thinking about what your doing. I tell clients it takes what it takes for a reason if I got a crew of very ichy neck folks I'll be out of business fast on the back end. So yea if someone that's semi retired 50s 60s wants a shot there age isn't nessary a factor unless there short we need more small people. My current crew is all 6f4in plus and we can't fit into places we're like trees.

I've only watched a couple of your videos including this one but you've already given me a good amount of information about what to expect from this line of work. I just turned 57 and have grown tired of the office and desk scene and have always been curious about learning carpentry. So I looked at my local technical college and found the courses affordable enough. What was holding me back was the concern that I may find it just as difficult finding work (due to age or lack of experience) as in my line of experience (IT/technical writing). But your explanations have given me useful information that make me realize I probably shouldn't go down this path at my age. I don't need to fall or injure myself in any kind of life-altering manner just to try and earn a buck. Thank you for your videos and wish you all the best! 🤜🤛

Worked non union in the trades my whole life (20 years) Came in as a first period apprentice to earn my place and gain the respect of my brother and sisters. Your never too old to challenge yourself. Get out of your comfort zone and don't be complacent. UNION PROUD

43years and about 2.5years left before i can title me as an "real" carpenter. But it is the best damn thing i ever did! Thats for sure.. No matter how hard the work is, i feel it´s worth it. You have to struggle thru the bad days, to get to the good days!

Nice video. I’ve been in the fire service for the past 10 years but decided to get into building post frame construction this past year on my days off for a small local company. At 39 with some guys I work with been doing a lot longer than me. I’ve never worked construction before to make money, but with my experience as a fireman and dealing with the elements; and always like building/fixing things throughout my life, it’s come fairly naturally. Still a pretty big learning curve.

I like the close caption font, Antonio, when I was injured I was 50 years old, and still felt like I was the strongest guy on the job, your strength will get you to 60, the final years learn to use your head. 50 hustling down the underground with a 17 ft jack on each shoulder, and was told to slow down by someone 15 years my junior, 2funny.
