I'm an IT consultant and a subscribers. I'm a fan of DIY and I like how real this channel is.

[@ttdowgcarpentry2390]

Thanks mate really appreciate your words and comment

[@ahmadferoz1401]

Watching you is inspiring

[@tsmooVe2831]

Great vid. I'm from America and I'm a carpenter as well. I enjoy watching a fellow carpenter get to it. Respect 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@kroozer5215]

Always nice to know the government helped you out that day - not, the amount you have to pay them you would think they were there with you helping

[@ttdowgcarpentry2390]

EXACTLYYY

[@ttdowgcarpentry2390]

This is what I think everyday aha

[@MSeroga]

Crazy to see the plumbing being ran so close to the floor, here in the US you almost never see that, just leaves so little room for error when you're doing repairs or installing something into the floor. Nice work!

[@davetattersfield6271]

You really have had a rough start to the year mate hopefully it gets better 👍

[@aaronsherwood4835]

Missed your videos good to see you back👍

[@quicksilver356]

I know nothing about carpentry, but it's still fascinating to watch a competent person work. Also, props for protecting the privacy of the kid.

[@hungtai7671]

Free courses at some local colleges. I can fit a kitchen and flooring from being self taught. But I am going to night school September to do my level 2 free of charge was prepared to pay £851 for the course and that will provide you with good skills from flooring to stairs to roof work.

[@familyfirst4727]

​@hungtai7671 that's great, may I ask where you found that free course?

[@itkills9251]

fellow trim carpenter from Texas, love your channel man good to see how its done from different places

[@russjboyle]

So nice to find someone who doesn't use/have every Festool tool under the sun ... nice job as well mate.

[@EdithWeston]

[@CALIANDDADDY]

proper genuine guy. Love to see the channel growing!

[@joeshmoe8912]

I love your videos! I started apprenticing 26 years ago as a carpenter, now self employed for basically 15 years. I say all that to say this, you are a mighty fine carpenter, and teacher to the young guys. Thanks for sharing your journey as a self employed carpenter, what it takes to be one. I have learned a lot of little tricks myself, from you. Cheers.

[@tahseenashfaq]

Really like your videos and very honest too. Thanks

[@davidbullock1367]

Excellent work you are a credit to the industry 😊

[@Mike-hx7yn]

[@billkingham8943]

Top work as usual. Keep it up. 👍

[@ttdowgcarpentry2390]

Thanks, will do!

[@reecevaughan4225]

Made that floorboard job look easy! I'm not a joiner but recently tackled mine (they are P5 T&G Floorboards) and it took me just under 3 days. I went a bit overboard though, noggins into every joist for extra support and glue along with floorboard screws. Squeak free but a difficult job - asked 3 joiners and none wanted to do it!

[@andrewsmith9184]

You taking piss lol

[@Ryan-qj6ol]

i love watching these vids wish there were more to watch lol as ive watched every one but im doing carpentry and joinery level 2 in college but its almost impossible to find and apprenticeship

[@kevonslims7269]

Salute bro, much respect from sunny florida, glad to see you’re wearing those knee pads you’ll appreciate it in the future. Keep up the good work.🫡

[@tgun4928]

That evolution saw looks quite good yanow 👍🏼

[@sheldon148]

Hi mate glad to see u back at it lovely job mate

[@WelcomeMrPatrick]

Customers' food looks 👌 😋 😍 🔥 🙌 👍

[@Stissi16]

Did you consider also using glue before laying down the floor in regards to the squeeking?

[@CommercialGasEngineerVideos]

Well done, do save some of that dosh

[@Joe-jv5mm]

What brand is your sliding bevel mitre saw, can you do a future review on the product, pros and cons, Thanks, Start of the always Rough, stay 💪

[@Joe-jv5mm]

Sweet finish 👍

[@ttdowgcarpentry2390]

i’ll try make this a priority as a lot of people are asking for this thankyou for the comment

[@amanveerdhatt]

Not going to lie, I missed not seeing your videos for a while.

[@nachobanditchannel]

Even though ive checked for pipes, i still get so paranoid before every screw i put through the floorboard lol

[@RooferReilly]

@10:00 its risky fixing them like that not knowing whats under there haha! good video

[@l33864]

My thoughts exactly was watching through my fingers 😂 once bitten will soon learn

[@MarkandJu]

How are you getting on with the saw? I know that a lot of us trades feel like we have to "fit-in" with our tool selections.

[@Thenickchannel]

Looking good :D

[@lodoss118]

Nice man good prices

[@mrsilvo2031]

Great work bro 👍

[@FALCON390CNCWorks]

Keep to the smaller jobs pal easier and u can fit more in a day and get paid straight away.

[@zulfqarali905]

Hi how are you doing today and having a great day today

[@xxnonstopdancingxx]

I want to know about those toughbuilt knee pads. Any good?

[@manxvibes32]

Great work, personally I never screw down the middle of floor boards (even if it"s possible) I always screw outer edges because good plumbers always run their pipes down the centre of the boards, also find it better to make the timber supports longer so they are supported by two or three boards rather than just one

[@kaykath4575]

👏👍👌❤️

[@edvinlopez9420]

Let’s go

Would 18mm chipboard be better than adding more t+g back down?

Hi are you based in bham. I have an issue with creaky floorboards which need fixing. Can you help with this?

Bro is it worth it ? I'm thinking about starting

I’m doing a carpentry course in collage soon any tips to help me

[@ceeeya3440]

I’m a carpenter/joiner I’m 25 years young I have been doing it around 7 years now My advice is to go all out on an apprenticeship and don’t be scared to fail and make mistakes because it is the most valuable part of this industry You hear it all the time but it couldn’t be more true!

[@JackNota432]

Bro how do you get your leads? I'm in London and its so tough to land jobs

[@zephyr1408]

Man you’re a good carpenter but you gotta get off that floor ! Even a cheap stand will do ! You are crushing your back , knees ect.,. When you get my age 65 you gonna be crippled! I still work everyday as a finish carpenter/ cabinet builder and do not deal with to many issues. Us blue collar craftsman need to work some thru our life’s! I was immediately chastised by a vet carpenter when caught on the floor and told I look like a troll of some weird person who was totally unaware how I was trashing myself? That’s it I never was on the floor again ! ( obviously in a pinch or emergency I was). Get off that floor bro ! U always do that!

[@Lyonscarpentry]

You got a lot of bollocks putting that many screws in with the pipes so close to the top of the joists🤣

[@nickharrison6694]

May of looked under boards when they were up? thats what i would of done with the help of a torch.
