Old man hand nailing

[@donaldy6able]

That is a good roofer. No misplaced nails in key ways for potential leaks. I would pay extra for this quality work.

[@StevieB-jj9fz]

I have done a few jobs by hand nailing. I have also worked for others who require only hand nailing. Great skill to learn. I'm slow at it but I can do it. Good job Sir.

[@jaysonstamper3423]

I have seen alot of these with titles like fastest roofer ever this is the first one that could come work with me. Stepping not racking and good nail placement not just throwing them im a roofer and unlike most so is this guy .some people move really fast but get nothing done the trick is to make it look like your not working hard but still end up with 10 sq more than everyone else

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Exactly. Who cares if you’re fast if you’re doing it wrong. This guy wasn’t a whole lot slower with a hammer than I am with a gun 😅

[@jasonthomas2714]

Brother the trick iS.. I MOVE really fast& efficiently/effectively, you're method WILL NEVER cut it up here in MICHIGAN FYI, you ARE not a real 💯%k ROOFER, stop proclaiming,I literally could only watch 1f**kin min of this clown sending nails flying everywhere,. . Here's my theory, EVOLVE YA knuckle DRAGGER'S GOOD GOD. . ✅🤡🤦🤦🤦

Larry Haun was the best carpenter I have ever seen.

[@gqoniefh]

Was about 14 years old when my Dad showed me how to do this and I sure got some sore left hand set finger tips. We aligned the right side with the hammer.....it rarely left my right hand from what I can remember. Had a blade on it....And an adjustable "gauge" screw. I think he still has one of the hammers. Great memories - I'm 47 now.

We hand nail everyday. This a great to watch. I'm gonna use that nail trick for sure.

[@carrywoodard5867]

Name's Colt Evans. Job well done sir. I been roofin for about 15 years. I'm 34 years old. My boss makes us hand drive everyday. You only hit your finger once that's great. My Forman seems to hit his finger frequently lol. That nail set trick at the beginning I've never seen that before. Awesome

[@wiz4020]

Only thing I would do different is, I'd have my portable Ridgid radio up on the roof!

[@andrewwilson3431]

I give ya credit. I'm a handyman on the side. About to do a double wide for my parents. Gonna start out hand nailing then use the gun when I have enough

[@thetruthrover]

Hand-nailed is the best. Reason being that pneumatic nail guns always cause some amount of damage to the shingles. Somebody needs design a proper roofing nail gun that has zero chance of blow through.

[@elijahhammel7688]

It's all about technique I use a regular ol Bostitch and my nails don't blow through or go in crooked it's all in the way u swing the gun

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I agree

[@thewho6743]

Hitting those nails for five times and driving it through the shingle and good for him either

[@jarlielloach1468]

@@thewho6743 when you get good, you'll hit the nail 2 to 3 times..

That’s freaking cool. I love when I see people going back and seeing the original tools of the trade. I bet a lot of roofers these days wouldn’t even know where to begin with a hammer and nail

[@quebec801]

lol what a dummy

[@antonet8008]

I just finished hand nailing 3 tab shingles on a whole side like this. All i got to say is i got a lot of respect for people back then.

Right o and dont waste money on 3 tabs

[@smalltownplaya712]

what is this method of roofing called? i saw other videos where the guy had to tuck one shingle under the other, seemed odd...this guy doesn't have that problem?

[@mrroofman]

It's pyramid style or step.The best way to install. The other is square or box style which places the shingle seams over one another "every other one" and voiding warranty.Its a faster way to install shingles but is not the correct way.You will be prone to more leak possibilities and blow offs

We're they 3-tab

[@-JackVenom]

Good work. Get yourself a ajc nail stripper & you won't have to keep reaching in to the pouch for nails. Also - it looks like you're using 2" nails? You'd have a easier go if they were a bit smaller. Solid work none the less. 🤘

That's the way we use to do it really hand nailing is better THOMPSON ROOFING

[@mattnofsinger]

When I was pounding nails if you had to hit it more than twice you were playing with it .

[@-JackVenom]

So let's see the video of how you set & drive every nail in two swings. Everybody is a master roofer on you tube. This guy isn't slow & his nail placement is exactly where it needs to be.
