7 years experience at 21 is a flex if i ever saw one.

[@JW-pj1zd]

I'm 46, I have been on the job since 13, as well as my partner. It just depends on what kind of life you grew up in, whether you had to work to eat or for your family, or you got to go to school and be a normal kid.

[@itsmeitstrue]

The owners kid. Its pretty obvious hes not ur normal 21 year old apprentice or even journeymen. Hes not the lead for nothing. 99/100 youd be right tho

[@AC.Prince]

​@JW-pj1zd Yeah, I started 4 months before my 15th birthday almost 40 years ago

[@WombleUK]

I started at 15yo here in the UK so it's not that much of a stretch. Also he's the bosses son so clearly been around the business all his life.

[@DbiPro]

In Canada you can be in school and start at 16

[@andyprairiedog4829]

Ethan is the prepared medic apparently. A tourniquet is a real saver to keeping that red stuff from spilling all over the place. Keep it capable of being reached by both hands. I keep mine strapped to the front area of my suspenders or the belt line. Very important. Your crew has a diverse set of tools and brands. I like the different ways they set them up for themselves. I believe a tourniquet is a great item for all to have. Coffman Construction, do you guys have a first aid or medic kit in a designated truck? Maybe a rigid backboard, an emergency plan of who the driver is, the designated hospital caller, designated medic, etc? Just wondering. Be a good video for others to learn from a safety standpoint. Thanks again, all. You all are doing great things...I'm back to drywall today.

[@liammckenney6792]

You guys have proven to be amongst the most respectable young crews Ive seen, well, ever. The companies Ive worked for have never had employees like you do. Youve got good people, keep em close.

[@MattBangsWood]

Awesome video! Great seeing everyone's set up.

[@eldoradocraftsman3733]

WoW! Seems like a Great bunch and I can’t believe how Young they all are. Looking forward to more videos. 👍🏾

[@307roofer2]

Sweet to see everyone rocking Badgers, best belts ever, most people haven't caught on yet, but ya'll got it! Looks like a fun place to work.

[@Coffmanconstruction]

That’s right! Appreciate it!

[@domoariscotto7486]

I got badgers in canada and love them, don't see them here too often.

[@sparkyobrian6417]

buckaroo, tops

[@mikevernacchio5384]

I really love to see so many young guys with so much experience. You guys ever want to move to New England you have a job. But up here the whole crew uses the same tape, maybe because we frame to finish. But dudes have work anywhere you need it.

[@johnbeckwith8313]

Great TEAM! You restored my faith in the future. I also started young as a Carpenter. I designed and built my first "building" a 12'x16' "horse barn" when I was 14 years old in Cherry Hills. It is a great career choice. Since then I've moved into the custom luxury home market and bigger things including working as a project engineer when building DIA. I just tell everybody "I do not do any projects bigger than 5 billion dollars".😂 haha

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Awesome!! I’ll think of you every time I fly out of there now 🤘🏼

[@DaveDoesCarpentry]

Seems like a great crew! and im impressed with the quality set ups everyone has! Great Video!

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Thanks dude!

[@AC.Prince]

In the southeast, its rare to see high quality bags. Most guy's wears 2 hip bags from the box stores. They last about 6 months

[@salvadorcastillo1539]

Nice to meet you guys!!!

[@antonioballatore6774]

This team works great together, very professional and thorough. I’m your biggest fan, will be watching everything you do so don’t pick your nose on camera! 👃 This crew is just a big handsome blurr, keep it on the level ladies you rock! Laura your awesomeness in a bottle! Love you guys 💪🤙🙏

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Thanks for watching Dude! Appreciate the support!

[@shaneodonnell2575]

I always love videos like this, showing off the team and the carry. I never carry a chisel, and maybe grab for one like 3 times a year unless I'm doing door hardware lol. But a scratch awl, that I use constantly! And a 1/4" pin punch, helps clear out gun jams and set down 16s for the planer

[@Coffmanconstruction]

I don’t always use it as a chisel, but I will probably make a video showing the different ways I use my tools

Great info. Thank you.

[@holdenbreau7187]

happy crew, amazing team of people.

[@WombleUK]

UK Carpenter & Joiner for 37yrs here, interesting how all the old guys carry half the amount of stuff on them that the youngsters do LOL. It's a shame the Martinez & Stilleto tools are so expensive here in the UK as they are really nice quality. Only just found your channel so will work my way through a few videos.

[@Coffmanconstruction]

What else is funny is the two older guys have some of least amount of years in the industry. They’re great guys they do awesome it’s just funny that some of us younger guys have more years under our belts

[@carlwells4989]

Man, I love seeing such young blood in the trades!! Unfortunately younger folks in my area aren’t as attracted to it as I was when I started working in residential construction at 19..... you’re blessed, to have such a young and enthusiastic crew!!

[@CarRamrod224]

I got into construction at 38. I should have done it in my early 20s and you are right there arent many younger guys at all. And the ones I do see just barely want to push a broom.

[@ChuckLine]

What an amazing team you got

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Appreciate it bro

[@M0N0T0N0US]

Been building stairs and remodeling every room in a house for 20 years and all I carry in my belt is hammer, tape, square, pencil/keel, chalk line, razor blade, and the small Irwin channel locks. Anything else goes in the tool box and is an excuse to take a walk. 😂

[@danthechippie4439]

Hi, what's a keel? Genuine question

[@M0N0T0N0US]

@@danthechippie4439 basically a giant crayon that writes on wet surfaces comes yellow blue red black or green, I usually have blue or green. Just makes bold lines or numbers on stuff so you can see it far away and stands out from pencil, marker and chalk lines

[@danthechippie4439]

​@M0N0T0N0US ah I see, thank you. I thought a keel was part of a sail boat

[@codyfrancis4474]

I’m rocking badger belt with diamondback pouches. Love my set up

[@shaneoakley8757]

Victor and I have the same rig. Badass.

[@worldadventureman]

I found your channel after seeing someone else framing a floating wall system in CO and then saw your video on it. I use to run a construction company in GA. I'm now living in Australia and although I don't do as much construction I still love talking about it and watching it. Its quite different here and like the US each state can be very different too. What a superb crew. Such nice folks, at least in this video 😂😂 Hats off to your Dad for being able to handle so many young guns, and even a chick! How rare is that to have a female on a framing crew? Good for her for taking on such a tough challenge. You're making a nice channel, hopefully you'll have the success of Stud Pack or MattBangsWood.

[@Coffmanconstruction]

I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!!

[@certifiedladderholder]

Ethen is a smart man! Carrying that blood stopper, slower downer belt is truly smart! Let’s just say in a former life I know exactly how long it takes to bleed to death? And no you can not hope the Ambulance arrives on time or run around looking like a crazy person asking who has a Tourniquet ! U hv at tops 2 minutes if you have someone hit a main artery ! TOPS ! Ok Jared Thank you and your Dad is young !! Heck I am 65 ( good shape) and I told you I am a full time finish carpenter / contractor! ( just me but I sub and do contracts say if someone wants builtins , crown, vanities, or like I just did 48 shaker doors) . I started at 50 after retiring from a crazy job but this is my dream job and I doubt you hv anyone more excited to start each day than me! Frosty is right “Good Attitude “ is a big deal! I am odd man out I love the Lord so he gave me the Attitude! Thank you very very much! I know it’s work to produce these and I really appreciate it brother ! Knock’em dead & make a million !

[@justincreaser5482]

Love the content! Love seeing the younger kids putting the time and effort into the trades! Do you keep everyone on one site or have multiple crews going?!

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Usually 2-3 sites!

Frosty always having a good attirude is so key. I hate working with negative people. I had a bad day yesterday demoing a roof my attitude sucked. I try hard to avoid it. Postivity is key.

[@Coffmanconstruction]

I’ve seen it! But never used it

[@kkainaluu808]

How did you get the high pressure fitting on the the air blower being that the high pressure fittings are reverse thread?

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Teflon tape and send it 😂

[@TheSavagederek]

A word on the cats paw down on the hips or thighs . If you do fall on that , its going to hurt . The Milwaukee tapes particularly the Stud version , is a good tape , much improved over earlier versions , but im on the Fat Max Extreme , but personal preference.

[@pvp4left]

Curious as to what off the top of your head you guys use your chisels for and keels?

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Keel is good for marking a colored spot instead of an x for layout, chisels are good for getting corners cleaned up when cutting stairs or I like to chisel a corner of a board and I can pinch my tape measure hook in it and pull a measurement

[@McBurger29]

I always like the employee “Justin case”.😊

Hey I'm a junior in highschool. Can you make good money framing. If you get into a union (in minnesota or Wisconsin). If I get my journeymans for carpentry, can I make 75,000+ with the union paying my insurance and pention and stuff. I want to do something with my hands, but I also want to be able to provide for my family and let my wife stay home. I would appreciate it if you could help me.

[@Coffmanconstruction]

Hey! I don’t do union work, but in the private residential sector you definitely can. With that being said, you will ONLY make as much as you apply your mind and body. It takes hard work, and lots of effort to learn and be flexible and grow

[@Dreadlock1227]

Eh, it’s alright but it’s one of the lower paying trades in the US and one of the hardest on the body. Depending on what part of the US, the elements can be brutal. In Vermont, where I live, we’ll work in -40 degrees with 4 feet of snow on the ground and we’ll work in 95 degrees with 90% humidity (no idea what those translate to in celcius, but it’s not comfortable lol) I framed exclusively for 7 years and now do full renos and customer builds, so still do a lot of framing so don’t get me wrong I love it. But it’s definitely not one of the more glamorous trades here in the states
