Why I Love Larry Haun

[@wornout3499]

lets not forget Joe.He may have been silent but his actions on camera taught me alot also. how to be a good work mate.

[@Carl-LaFong1618]

I'm always amazed when a team is working and they work like 1 person. I use house painters that are a father and 2 sons. It's like 1 brain, 1 body with 6 arms. No one even has to speak, the other person is right there doing what he's supposed to be doing at exactly the right time.

[@ralphdavis9670]

Larry learned Spanish while hiking through the Andes after he left the priesthood. He learned sign language after a deaf child was born to a family in his inner circle. When he spoke, you could hear a pin drop. He was, in fact, a folk hero.

Scott, I can feel the emotion in your voice at the end of this video. We feel the same about Larry. And be assured, we feel the same about YOU. You really are the next "Larry". We the viewers love you and your family dearly and I'm determined to meet you.

[@Kleinalrik]

Same here, Austin. All the same here. "I wish I could have known him." Larry as well as Scott. And if I ever get to come near his place...

[@billqqq]

Well said, Austin. I'm betting there are many that subscribe to the channel that feel exactly the same. There are a million channels on YT, but this is the only one that rings my bell. Scott, you have a gift, sir. I feel it's likely a big part of it is being from our generation, and another due to the way you were raised. Hard work, faith, and those you surround yourself contribute, as well. What you have provided to us through your channel is simply priceless. Thank you just doesn't seem to be sufficient, but thank you.

[@mcbridecreek]

Yes I found Larry Haun in Fine Homebuilding back in the late 1980s. I was trying to be a better rough carpenter and his practical skills and teaching really helped me. Still to this day when I production cut a group of studs to length (on edge) younger guys will say that is a good trick. Larry Haun taught me that. Who? Haha. When I heard that Larry had died I felt a profound sense of loss. Having been taught by his articles long before his books or videos, I thought few appreciated him like I did! I’m glad to know now so many loved this guy like I did! Anyway, Scott you’ve done a great job teaching and I’ve enjoyed watching you! Keep it up!

[@lanceavats8881]

If you don’t mind the prying question but how did you get into carpentry. I want to get into carpentry and construction trades. The only construction experience I have is about 3 months over a summer as a laborer at 18. I’m 21 now and am interested in getting into carpentry. How did you get the job at first, how did you get into an apprenticeship and any tips? Thanks and have a great day sir!

Whether you realize it or not, you are today’s Larry Haun. Two very similar guys (we love to watch) teaching two different generations. Thank you for carrying the torch. I wonder who will carry it next!

Sir, I’m certain you’ve heard this before but I’ll say it and keep it short. For us fatherless types, you come across as the type of father we all wished we had. Knowledge and faith driven, even keeled, speak highly of others and humble as the day is long. Your sons are extremely fortunate. Remember, what you say drives the masses. Thank you again for your wisdom, mentor ship, and content you provide your audience. We are genuinely fortunate to have you in our lives......

[@essentialcraftsman]

Thank you ... very much...

[@outfitr9703]

I have SO much respect for that man. Such a hard hard worker, bent over framer. Just watching his efficient moves, the telltale sign of years of experience that cannot be learned from any book or video. And then watch him drive a nail.

[@BrianJNoah]

My 6 year-old daughter wants to be in the construction industry when she grows up. Today I showed her her first Larry Haun video today. She loved it. It's quite appropriate that you would share this today.

[@carlislehendersonthethird7799]

That’s crazy! My four year old daughter loves watching videos like that too! Larry, EC, Crazy Framer, etc. We have a 2 foot piece of cotton wood trunk by the fire pit that never got split that she likes to drive 12d sinkers into with “little smash”- her hammer lol. Yeah, she gave it a nickname. She can’t quite drive them in “one lick” yet but getting better every week! Glad somebody else has a little lady that’s into that sort of thing. I doubt it’s a very common hobby for them.

[@BrianJNoah]

Carlisle Henderson the third I love that! Sounds like you’ve got a winner on your hands. I started her on This Old House several years back. She always has to help me on house projects as well. I love it.

[@drymoonproperties]

What a compliment to an awesome man and carpenter. I actually found this channel because of watching Larry Huans channel as a retired professional carpenter with skill sets that are pretty much the same as both of these two fine men it has made me feel better about myself and my life as I face my own lifes terminal illness. What does make me sad about my own business is both my office staff and several people working in the field both builders and remodeling pro's even two of my apprentices tried to talk me into shooting my own videos for a KZbin channel looking back now I can honestly say I just didn't understand the value in it while I was doing all I could to keep up with fifty five employees and a restaurant I owned the last couple of years of being in business before I was forced into retirement. I can say while I have some regrets about not doing it for the most part I felt I owed it to my people to do my absolute best for them and my business afterall without them I wouldn't have been able to own and run it for almost four decades. I truly appreciate these men for their hardwork and dedication to their own people and the public. The mark of a great man!!

[@robertbeirne9813]

Seems to me sir, you have nothing to regret. 🍻

[@bigfoot99]

Just retired this year as a G.C. at the age of 66; in my thirties I was a production framing contractor like Larry. My methodology was almost exactly like Larry's; my Dad was the one who taught these methods to me. He never knew Larry, but he knew Joe and their older brother Jim fairly well and worked for them off and on in the sixties in Southern California. Jim & Joe were production apartment builders at the time (if you look at the credits of Larry's videos you'll see Jim listed as well as Joe) before they moved to Oregon. This video is a good tribute to Larry. I had a copy of Larry's book and I always had all of my employees read it; it explained "my" system (really theirs) better than anything I could do. The Haun brothers (Jim & Joe) unbeknownst to them became legends on our jobsites in Utah, as my Dad told many fascinating stories about them from those days. If Joe was still alive (I don't think he is) he would indeed be a great interview. I am glad Larry put together his videos documenting the way we used to frame back in those days. Watching them brought back many memories from those bygone years. R.I.P. Larry, Joe, and Jim. The legendary Haun brothers.

[@redrhino1911]

As a framer who moved to Oregon by myself 8 months ago from Chicago, I gotta ask. Why is everyone in construction from Oregon 😂😂😂😂

[@steeveaddkins3755]

His dedication to Habitat For Humanity in Coos Bay & North Bend was the cherry on top!

I don’t even build stuff that often, but I love watching both Larry and Scott. Great men.

Somehow I managed to get sawdust in my eyes by the end of this video. Thank you for your remembrance of Larry Haun. Many of us think of you Scott in the same way. Thank you for all of the thoughtful lessons and pro-tips that help us all be better carpenters and just plain better.

I am 23 years old and my parents started building their own house my grandpa came out and helped us lay the concrete foundation build the forms he helped us frame the actual home and when he left we kept going and now my family has a beautiful home to live in My point is That immediately after we built our home I quit my job at a grocery store and I jumped on and started working on a framing crew the hardest job I’ve ever had in my life Between Scott and Larry there is nothing I was not able to understand and sir I promise you there are many of nights I have watched y’all videos over and over again until I understood and learned what I needed to learn to be a better and more productive employee Becuase carpentry is not only something I am extremely proud of but also passionate about learning more and I thank you for the videos you make

[@gnomo2368]

I really appreciate all your words about Larry Haun, I saw his videos before yours. You and him are to me, my teachers. In my country (Guatemala), people believe, build a wood house is not a good idea, but, I am a civil engineer, but here a civil engineer doesn’t have too much education about wood, so, I was searching for information an then, at least I found Larry Haun videos and his wonderful book, but I wanted more, maybe something new, then I found your videos and techniques, all of them reaffirming Larry Haun teachings and giving a lot of advices about construction… when at least I will build my house, It will be a tribute to Larry Haun and to you

[@thechickensaladsandwichman9171]

I learned a lot from Larry haun! I was 15 years old when I read his book, and 16 when I saw his movies in school... I've spent the next 17 yrs trying my hardest to be someone he could and would respect... You sir are the next Larry haun!!!! And those are gigantic shoes to fill!!! However I will say they fit you nicely 😉

[@dcorey35]

Your comments on him being a quietly generous person were a pleasant reminder of a conversation I had with my Aunt 7 years ago after her husband had died. At his funeral she heard all kinds of stories about people he had helped and things he had set up for her. That she never knew about when he was alive. Pushes me to do more of those things. Thanks Scott People like that illustrate Matthew 6:4 (KJV) That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

[@jasonheavyrunner6080]

He is a Master craftsman with a capital M and capital C. As a beginning crafter myself I find it is rare to find other craftsmen willing to share their experience...Larry is a guy willing to share his knowledge to make better craftsmen. I’m intrigued by his videos, he wants to enhance his trade by empowering others. That’s how it should be. And empowering others should be the code. (All day I walk around the office squeezing in, “because that’s the code”, into a work conversation but no one ever gets it)

Awesome video Mr.Scott and I say that with all respect. I'm 39 years old and have been building for 20 years, and this generation today has become so slothful on work ethics, being a carpenter is more thank an occupation its who we are. I was taught by and extremely talented craftsman and have tried my best to pass that talent onto my 5 boys. We have one of thw most honorable professions known to mankind, we build homes for families to abide in and raise their families, with any less attitude one needs to find a different profession. Absolutely wonderful video!

[@dianabarker5128]

Oh I am so happy that you did this video about Larry. I’m a 59-year-old woman who is building her own house. I’m not doing the framer but I have to learn about framing. So I found these videos by Larry. I have been so mesmerized by larry’s wonderful voice, his encouragement, his can-do attitude, and his knowledge and skill. My boyfriend thought I was nuts because I would rather watch Larry videos than anything else. I feel good after I’ve watched him. I feel confident. I feel like the world is a friendly place. And then I want to know more about his life. And I was almost afraid because you never know What you might find. And the first thing I found was this video about Larry and it confirmed everything but I felt so thank you. The world needs more people like Larry!

I'm blessed to have been raised in the 60s and 70s by a family of master builders / carpenters . I watch and read comments to some of these videos and find myself at awe at how great and or special the people and all the many methods, it's not so special to those of us who have become it, it's just a given that comes easy , a pleasure in a way we make our living but forgetting that it was not easy getting here. We didn't right any books but we worked and taught lots of men ......wasted lots of time on many but I am pleasure that a few have risen through the years to become not only master carpenters but master builders. They say that when a old man dies , a library goes with him, God only knows how true that is. Pay attention boys and pay your respects to the old men , they have much more to give you than you can get from these videos.

I had an awesome mentor back in the day. His name is Rick Webster. He is an amazing teacher of construction theory and practice. He has taught hundreds in his career, and is still teaching when it suits him. Before his degree in construction management, he taught me how to hang Sheetrock and general home remodeling. He was my friend in pre-engineering classes. He asked me to be his “cub” for a summer of construction (which lasted two + years). On our first day on the job, Rick taught me a one of my most important life lessons. He said “On the job site, I am the boss. When we knockoff tonight we are friends again. Family is Family, Friends, are Friends, and Business is Business”. About the time I found Essential Craftsman on KZbin, I had also watched many videos from Larry. My Mentor Rick said “If it looks easy, it’s because you worked your *$$ off doing it the wrong way, and you learned how to conserve energy” You are all Teachers. Keep Teaching. Do Good Work.

[@pateramat]

I just found out about Larry 3 weeks ago when i decided to build an addition to my master bedroom after not finding a contractor who was serious and took pride in their work. Needless to say, scrolling through videos one night i ran across some of his. Watching him and "Joe" do their thing was like watching water flow downstream. I bet they could have built a house without uttering a word as one was always a step in front or behind the other like clockwork. Starting the roof sheathing tomorrow then will call for the framing inspection next week. It looks damn good! Thanks for all your videos as well!

Finally I founded brilliant Larry Haun's 3 series video and made the house using all technics as though it was a real frame house. I said "brilliant" and there is no better word for such wonderful course.

You’re a role model in all too short supply in modern day America. I’ve since moved on to a different trade, but I utilize your superb instruction during home improvements and new builds around the property. I try to emulate your patience and understanding while my two boys work alongside me. And never taking mistakes too seriously; remembering what Larry Haun once said ‘if it’s off a bit, life goes on’. - Randy

Thank you for this. I’ve known about Larry for quite a few years but glad you are talking about his importance not only in efficiency but his smart way of building.

I completed my Carpenters apprenticeship at the same training centers in Morgan hill, Hayward, and Pleasanton, CA and they still talk about Larry and show his videos as part of the curriculum to this day.

I never met the man, but have watched dozen of hours of his videos. So much respect for the man, he learned and practiced his trade at the highest levels. As you said, I suspect DIYers (like myself) and pros will be watching his videos for decades to come. He left quite a legacy of work and instruction. I'll dare to say, that you good sir, are well on your way to joining Mr Haun as a renowned instructor. Keep up the good work.

Larry Haun led me to you, and I appreciate you both. I have learned more from you 2 than I have learned framing with some pretty good crews. Thank you both. RIP Larry. You are missed.
