[@weekendhomeprojects]

Like Batman and Robin, you fellas are out there making the world a safer place....one door at a time! Nicely edited.

[@Joe-jv5mm]

🤣😂🤣😂 9hrs You have Great Patience 😴, We all started somewhere, he'll remember his 1st door for the rest of his life👍

[@kbcarpentryservices]

The apprentice is doing great, make sure he has a proper break over Christmas

[@ttdowgcarpentry2390]

yep i am forcing him to 😅

[@jameshennessy9064]

Love the nice calm, chilled-out way about your teaching. Much respect for all your videos

[@TheChunder3]

Kudos to you both. You have a lovely way of helping your apprentice to improve. Your apprentice showed good dedication to learn and demonstrated nice skills. Bravo

[@darreninstone3626]

Speed can come later all that matters is that the finish is good and all his fingers are still attached 😂🤣

[@iainstirling1475]

You want to teach that boy how to use a handsaw and chisel. Basics!

[@PETERYEE.]

You are a legend 🙌 👏 apprentice killed it!!!

[@paulzirker706]

Great video he will be a great carpenter in time.

[@reecemartin5723]

Great work! Quick tip for when chopping hinges out go around the Hinges with Stanley knife instead of pencil leaves nice neat finish.

[@mroldschool609]

Great work apprentice and great work teacher 😂

[@ttdowgcarpentry2390]

thankyouu

[@michaelherbert2982]

Well done lads... think you are very chilled guys..and great work , enjoy your break .

[@christopherinteriors6521]

What an amazing job! I make and fit kitchens but most of the time the clients also like me to do other woodwork around the house, mainly hanging doors. The first one I did took me absolutely ages but the more I have done, the quicker and more efficient I have become at it. It hasn't helped that I work on farmhouses 99% of the time so the walls can be 50mm out in places but practice makes perfect. I hope your apprentice understands that and doesn't get discouraged by taking a while at the start.

[@Danbud73]

Another Top job and Vid👍 luv the apprentices enthusiasm , wanting to work Christmas Day 🤣

[@matthewdavies2421]

Good effort the youngster will be building houses before too long 👍

[@roccostiff2444]

Great channel boys I enjoy your content, look forward to more videos 👍

[@MrAidanfleming]

In a clients house, tell him to tie his shoes laces, imagine he tripped 😫😫 that jacket needs chucked out lol

[@andybrace4983]

not good look is it

[@MrAidanfleming]

@@andybrace4983 not at all! Looks unprofessional! Always sleeping in the van, always looks half asleep! I’d of lost my patience if my apprentice was like that haha

[@kejayyr]

Admiring all the stuff you're doing, work and video/editing ain't as easy as it looks👍🏼

[@joshuamatheron1]

Maybe it’s a midlands/northern thing but I don’t think I’ve ever been offered food by the homeowner. For his first door that’s excellent. Like you said. I’ve seen far worse by experienced carpenters. Props to you for having patience with him. Most wouldn’t especially on Christmas Eve!!

[@mattzces]

as long as he can keep the same amount of like perfections but his time management improves thats all that matters in the end at least hes willing to work

[@jamie352]

Nice job, The Apprentice Is Doing Great

[@Peopleboy100]

doing great work mate only thing i can ever complain about is your montage music is so much louder than your camera audio

[@kevin-the-carrot]

Nice tidy job by the apprentice.Can't believe you guys working late xmas eve and xmas day.Let's hope he brings the time down on fitting his next door.👍

[@cerddrhysmorgan]

Hope you had a good Xmas boys, love your videos. Keep it going.

[@paulanning6450]

Your Apprentice as done a nice job on the door 🚪 And frame And is learning from you You're lucky I had 2 apprentices under me And that was hard work.🤣🤣🤣 .. I hope you both had a nice Christmas And I wish you both all the best in the new and thank u making good videos 📹

[@saab-xq8lc]

Soon enough he’ll be driving while you sleep😂

[@Latbirget]

Good job! Did you work on an empty building site on Christmas Day? A lot of builders shut down over Christmas so I imagine you can make a bit extra working in that period.

[@thomascoyne157]

Very nice his speed will come 👍👍👍

[@weekendhomeprojects]

Did they say why they wanted a door right there? I think it looked good open like they had it. Maybe to save on heating?

[@kevinralph4465]

Should never fit the doorstop tight to the door if it's getting painted, so you will probably get a call back when it's painted, also you can't be leaving the lining like that with no beading/architrave round it?

[@cambio123]

Door stop gap, 2mm?

[@streetkombativesystem4704]

Bro, the apprentice needs to tie his boot laces, it's reflective 😉.

[@kieranrichards7851]

This went from your come up to the apprentice’s come up 😂 Great series bro 💪🏼💪🏼

[@iwangriffiths7755]

Mate you need some racking in the back of your van !

[@DistinctionDecor]

The Apprentice needs to let you take some holiday 😂😂

[@BigBrogann]

Thanks for the video mate, what happens if you get a rattle in the door latch? How do you fix that?

[@Trainboyjackvr]

Depending on the type of door keep you have there is usually a small adjustment tab inside, use a flathead screwdriver and bend the tab till the rattle stops

[@M.Godfrey]

Get a nice rack built in the back of that van, keep all them tools in place 😉 could make for a new video too

[@tobywhalley9406]

The main guys💪🏼

[@donk3ysmash]

Iv been watching all your videos as I’m at a similar level to your apprentice. I was just wondering what you do when you’re hanging doors in old properties and the door frame is wayyyy out of square. Do you cut the door on the bonk? Reframe the door? Or just shim it straight or even pull off the architrave and wedge the frame back straight? Sorry, just a problem I keep coming across. Thanks! Keep up the awesome work!

[@donk3ysmash]

Also do you measure the door frame from scratch when fitting a new door or just draw round the old one. Thanks!

[@Trainboyjackvr]

All depends on the door your going to hang, all the oak veneer doors are chipboard with a 10mm edge so be careful how much material you remove, If the old door is well fitted then draw round it, if you start taking arch’s off and trying to level the casing your opening up another can of worms but if they are really bad then replace the casing

[@samuelmoore657]

My first door took 9 hours as an apprentice, all the electricians on site were taking the piss out of me 😂.

[@simeon91]

like the work you guys are doing keep up the hard work, apprentice is doing a great job!. Only thing i can say is you thought about getting you both a uniform to give more of a professional look when going to clients houses.

[@andybrace4983]

Good idea that silly big coat apprentice was wearing why oh why

[@-chris1965]

What would you charge to fit a loft hatch?

[@kajon-uk]

Good job, enjoying watching you guys. Are you from Birmingham??

[@ttdowgcarpentry2390]

thankyou , i’m glad you enjoyed yeah we are from birmingham

[@imgone7602]

It’s sad to see the apprentice not able to work rn

[@aaronbell8527]

No one should have to work Christmas Day family time ❤

[@bertveldhuizen8699]

Not everybody cares about Christmas.

[@aaronbell8527]

Did you not leave 6mm so the door just slides in

[@darrenroche9225]

Great work ,but aren't cordless tools great ,no cables or transformers ,and I see dewalt bringing out a 23gauge cordless nail gun, see how you get on with it 😀, he's a workhorse of a young lad looking to work Christmas day 👍 😀 😉

[@ajlow5]

Is that your house?

[@improvefps]

@TTDOWG Carpentry Thanks for fixing the volume difference from last video for commentary and music :)

[@Wraaah]

Great Video !!! But does ‘The Apprentice’ have a name ?

[@georgemartin6389]

I doubt that opening was straight or plumb

[@ttdowgcarpentry2390]

it wasn't the frame was a little awkward to fit but we got it done 🙂💪

[@kayongeorge7459]

Yeah bro what his name he is great

[@cambio123]

I would tell the apprentice not to use a circular saw like that, bit overkill with the masks though 😂

[@cambio123]

Love the vids though, have subscribed 👍

[@Astoncov24]

Hi I'm 13 years old how can I practice carpentry?

[@Trainboyjackvr]

Buy a book on carpentry for beginners, get some basic tools and a lot of timber offcuts and get practicing, learn how to use a hand saw and chisels. Just be careful keep your hands safe and never cut towards your body

[@Napoleon-Blownapart]

First job for 2023, rack out your van 😂

[@ttdowgcarpentry2390]

i agree 😂

[@arky6937]

W

[@nathanprice9259]

How does he work in that coat all day long 🙈

[@davesmith6065]

9hrs to fit a door? The client must have been a friend or relative? If a joiner took 3hrs to do that I’d be kicking him out and not paying him.

[@MegaMetinMetin]

Tought bunny you are

[@mattp5518]

quoted job perhaps?

[@mohammedrobbie2475]

I have been learning off your videos mate, good one

Rome was not built in a day , he has the basics to a high standard which is essential and efficiency will come in time 🕰️

[@user-wk7wv8rn8h]

Better than every door I've seen on new builds 😂
