Construction Tips and Hacks That Can Save Your Career

[@MrAllan9]

I've been a carpenter for over 30 yrs, there's always new things to learn 👍

[@D-proGram_Yousef]

Indeed a good carpenter is always willing to learn a better or new way. But for every new tip I swear theres 100 DIY bullshlitz homeowner hacks and gimmicky gadgets and over thought tools to dismiss.

[@Joedoeswhat]

U never stop learning in this business I keep seeing stuff. I wish I knew 20 years ago would have made my life a lot easier. Would of made me a lot more money? Just from stupid things that you should have did differently. It's amazing. Yeah, but construction you never stop learning.

[@John-ou4rm]

Most of this is a pile of 💩

[@Minpafarm]

It's admirable that you have been involved in carpentry for more than 30 years! Your dedication and perseverance have certainly produced many wonderful works. It's interesting to know that even with so much experience, you always find new things to learn. What inspired you to continue exploring and learning throughout your professional journey?

[@potechhd]

That’s impressive! It’s great to hear that you’re still finding new things to learn after all these years. The field of carpentry must have evolved quite a bit over the decades. What’s one of the most interesting or unexpected things you’ve learned recently? 😍😍

[@oledennis6918]

I worked in the trades back in the 70's and still amazed at the creation of something brought about by necessity.

[@alanrobinson4318]

Anybody who paints walls knows that you always remove the wall plates from switches and plugs.

[@GeorgePollinger]

Right on. That 'helpful tip about painting around them' is dumb.

[@jaketheauroran]

It may not seem like it matters, but plates can move slightly over time, causing you to see the old color. You also are unlikely to get perfectly to the edge with any tool, leaving a tiny gap of old color (or a tiny bit of paint on the cover)

[@alanrobinson4318]

@jaketheauroran Another neat thing to do is lightly sand those plates and paint them with the corresponding color of the trim on the wall they're located.

[@standtall7646]

Great tips but, none are really explained and the video moves too fast ti figure most out. Some explanation of tips/tricks would be a huge help. Thanks, for the video.

[@francoutah]

Innovation, artistry, and craftwork is well represented here. Those various skills can take decades to truly master. I appreciate that.

[@GeorgePollinger]

Why not remove 1 or 2 screws to take off any plates instead of painting around it?

[@lzcollins567]

Transferring the grain onto the wood putty was genius!!5:48

Thank so much, Teacher. 🙂

You are welcome!

[@KennethMiddleton-r3b]

I'm amazed I actually learned a few things thank you.

[@vexpired7559]

So nice to see something new with tips I've not seen before, thank you.

[@timw7946]

I keep ziploc baggies for paintbrushes and the big ziplocs for rollers.

[@HolySpiritwithin]

You did not show the section of fencing roll with some type of liquid poured on it.

[@OneTruePhreak]

I'm going to guess, before starting the video, that there's nothing in the video, which will "save your career".

[@davidvanderklauw]

Always wear eye protection when using a wire brush on a power tool. sharp pieces of wire go flying out. They are far more dangerous than sparks from an angle grinder.

[@DoseforDaily-r8s]

That's amzing!😍

[@wowtech999]

Many thanks!

[@INTERESTINGLIFEplay]

They do the job so well

[@peggysuedavis3395]

Some of these are awesome! Like the guy using a can to carve scalloped edge. Cost saving idea! Thank you for a great video.

[@Pseudify]

8:17 Use a screw instead. That way you can tweak its exact depth as needed to get a perfect fit.

[@cobravids]

I appreciate your tips. However, the paper backing on drywall is not a good replacement for drywall tape. Maybe in a pinch but if your doing construction just do it right.

[@jaketheauroran]

They're 2 separate applications. Tape is for strengthening joints over time. If the patch is contained within one sheet of gypsum board, you don't need to strengthen the joint, since the patch will move along with the board.

7:20 - good painters would remove the switch cover before painting. That is a bad hack and very unprofessional.

[@Daniel-fz6iz]

Even Bad painters or hobbyists would do that...

[@faithpotato]

There was a few interesting tips here

[@knutsenneundorf116]

5:57 How to restore the shininess of your trowel? Use an electric drill, a wire brush and rust remover! Genius! I tried for years using only wet toilet paper…😅

[@zeriousvolt1245]

And no safety goggles too. If one of the brushpins flies in your eye, you are totally scr**ed. Don't do as they do, THINK FIRST.

[@amzarnacht6710]

I just dunked it in the same solution used for restoring copper pots and the like. There are many recipes, some using electricity and some just chemical reactions.

[@knutsenneundorf116]

@@zeriousvolt1245 You are absolutely correct about the safety goggles.

[@pocket83squared]

​@@zeriousvolt1245 Do you have extensive experience using that tool? Because I do, and safety glasses are not always necessary for short-bristled, drill-powered wire wheels-especially if kept at low speeds and when aimed away from the face. Safety gear is not unconditional; for real "THINK FIRST" people, it can be discretionary. You don't wear steel boots to cut your grass, do you? But WHAT IF the mower blade dislodges? _Accidents happen!_ No, they don't: they're caused.

I hate when home owners cover up beautiful hardwood floors with vinyl laminate flooring

[@The_Real_Mier]

They might have valid reasons to do so. I can imagine that if I had kids around the toddlers-age, I would not want to risk damaging the hardwood floor and that I would (temporarily) cover that one up with a cheaper alternative, until the kids are at an age where such risks are way less. Or maybe they already know that they will not be living many years in the home they have bought that has a beautiful and expensive hardwood floor, so it makes perfect sense that they might want to keep that hardwood floor in the best possible condition, in order to get a higher value for the house when they’re moving out and selling the place. In that scenario covering it up with a laminate floor sounds also quite reasonable to me. There can also be a situation where the home owners decide to rent out the home, including the hardwood floor and they don’t want to take the risk that the tenants damage that floor. Again: a perfectly legit reason to cover that expensive, high quality floor and put a cheap, yet sturdy floor over it for the tenants to use. It’s all a matter of protecting and preserving the value of that hardwood floor… BUT…..!! The ABSOLUTE BEST reason is: Imagine a scenario where the home owners simply don’t like that hardwood floor (as beautiful as others may find it). Of course they would want to change it. However: It would be a total waste (of both money as well as of the floor itself) to just take out the hardwood floor (always keep in mind that things can change in the future and the house might be sold one day)… Plus: it seems weird to cover a hardwood floor with another hardwood floor, since a double hardwood floor just doesn’t make sense. So yes: covering that floor with a type of flooring that the home owners DO like, seems totally reasonable and logical. This could be a laminate floor with a completely different pattern/color than the hardwood one, but it might just as well be a PVC floor or even carpeting. It all depends on the personal preference of the residents! I bet you never expected a reply to your comment that would be this detailed, right? Well, in all honesty: I didn’t expect to write such an extensive response either, but once I got going, I had a hard time wrapping my words up. 😉 So: I apologize for the overly long comment; I meant well 😀

[@Monkycrasure-gk4fz]

You hate when people do what they want to their own stuff? I hate when people hate things. That makes as much sense as what you said.

[@Joedoeswhat]

@@Monkycrasure-gk4fz The guys still do it if they that's what they want, you have to give the homeowner what they want. But I'll do my best to talk him out of it, but I always give them what they want. You have to, but I always suggest doing a floating floor so this way in the future they can just pull it right up

[@joegilly1523]

Lol the shininess on your trowel …use it ,great Idea.

isn't admitting you have counterfeit coins worse than drilling a hole in a coin?

@@kennethfox8602 It took them 40 attempts to get their water displacing formula to work, but on the 40th attempt, they got it right in a big way. WD-40 Multi Use Product was born.
