Looking to join my local carpenters union. I have 5 years experience in commercial construction have already been a laborer for 2 years and have been a carpenter for 3. Not looking to start back at square 1 is there ways of testing out of certain things in the apprenticeship so you don’t just start out at just a laborer?

Your a great teacher brother, I like how you explained the lift process and agitating the 2 lifts together and how important that it. You made that crystal clear, I enjoy your content.

Thank you for this video brother. I will be starting my carpenters apprenticeship soon. This is all great information!

The commute thing is true for alot of construction im a masons laborer and rn the site is 15 minutes away from home I sleep in every day😂 but other times I have to be up at 3 am to go to a job an hour and a half away

I did carpentry in the '90s lasted 6 months worst job ever had especially working outside with a noseems they bite the crap out of you from sunrise to sunset and the spray does not help you and the only people who make money are the foremans and the contractors. Also never work for big companies they treat you like crap always try to work for the small man or work for yourself. Me personally never be a carpenter only for a hobby

I hate my current job but after watching your video on carpentry I will stay far away from this career choice. Thank you 🙏🏼

🔥🔥🔥🔥

where did your buddy get the first aid pouch?

Right now I’m in hvac school and im thinking to switching career to carpentry

Nice review man! Been thinking about getting this for my bags, nail, gun and rear handle saw

I’m a struggling freelance graphic designer who’s considering going into carpentry. The only downside is that it’ll take five years to become certified but my current situation hasn’t improved so it looks like this could be a decent career path. As someone who’s very artistic, I’m hoping carpentry will allow me to apply my skills Side note: Dude, Thanks so much for being very politically partisan in this video! As someone who is voting for Trump in a very hostile environment, I love videos like this. Im very sorry to hear all the horrific drama that happened in that story you mentioned. That’s awful that that happened but I’m glad the Union was able to sort it out professionally

I wanna join the union but I have fear of heights is there a way where you choose that you can only build like stores or houses or stuff but not high buildings? 😭lol

Couldn’t tell from the video but is there a designated square pocket?

Bro!! Just ordered my badger bags. I went with the trimmer set since I’ve been doing concrete layout. Don’t really need big framer Occidental’s anymore. Super stoked to have the quick draw McGraw hammer sleeve

no clue why im watching this as a 7th grader but im set on being a carpenter

I know this is an old post but is this the framer or carpenter bag set?

Is the hammer holster detachable?

Where did you buy the white Tajima chalk box?

Where are you that you make more as a carpenter? Carpenters make the least amount out of most of the main trades

"Call the hall, we do it all!"

Worked non union in the trades my whole life (20 years) Came in as a first period apprentice to earn my place and gain the respect of my brother and sisters. Your never too old to challenge yourself. Get out of your comfort zone and don't be complacent. UNION PROUD

Are serious?? Getting dirty is a Cons?? To be a carpenter you have to man up first, it is not for s****.

What’s up Antonio, love your channel, great insight on this skilled trade. I am a career changer, I live here in the east coast I am currently looking into a pre apprentice program for a possible direct entry into the union. I have a few questions I would like to ask you. Is there an email where I can reach you perhaps we can discuss over a quick zoom or phone call. Please and thank you.

Illegal immigrants should be deported, what law can black Americans break without prosecution? If were going to employ criminals lets start with juvenile detention centers and prisons.

Have you tried thorogood?

Birks Defender boots, Kevlar sole and more or less bulletproof.

If you quit can you be rehire later on

Hey man, this is awesome! Liked and subscribed.

It is totally toxic. Shi is so stressful for younger men or women, it's like older master's job is to drive you insane, instead of teaching you something, encouraging you or just act friendly.

I'm in the process of being a union carpenter the union emailed me almost 60 construction companies they work with how do I choose which one to go with

Trying to switch over from local 416 to local 909 but no one wants to hire right now

Duuude I really do enjoy your content, but Idk your mic is either a POS or audio needs some modifications. I find myself on TH-cam for hours and hours, but every time I find myself watching your content, the audio literally puts me to sleep hahaha it’s not what your saying, it’s just the audio sounds like high school biology class lol

Whats I should expect after my orientation?

Hmm, so I'm a young looking 41 year old attending a 'trade school' in Canada that gives me my first year of apprenticeship training. I found your channel through your 'older worker' video, where, as someone 'older' you hit pretty everything dead-on, but I think your subs and views would skyrocket if you made some at-work videos. Meaning like you're just recording and uploading parts of the various sites you're on and whatever you're doing on them.

When I get waters for myself, I personally hand waters to everyone. The quick gesture bringing the water to them instead of just placing the case somewhere really helped me get on everyone’s good side.

This was really helpful. I have an orientation coming up which will hopefully result in an interview and apprenticeship. I feel a more confident now, just have to prioritize and be organized. Thanks for posting!

🔨love all your videos man !

Thanks for the info brother

I love your videos bro, I do residential and would love for one day to comercial I would like to see a little

Thoes nailsets are forged in Japan no China or Taiwan in there composition. A true made in Japan product.

If your in love with a bag but it won't clip on to a 3 in belt they make 3in spring steel clips for belts drill out the rivets and put a Chicago screw in its place. Still dosent fit but a madpack clip on holder and put whatever you want on the rail (25 dollars made in usa). And for the easy solution to impacts and a place to secure them is called a noholster it will clip on to anything under 3/8s thick even that occidental belt. No additional things on your belts clips ect and if you buy in bulk they get alot cheaper (tapes impacts anything with a screw mount). Another product that is very useful accessorie is called ripnot you can take any fabric and turn it into a tape/impact holder with no damage to the bags no mods. I use them on veto bags and tool belts to have a sturdy clip point (even a mag 77 can hang from it!).

Good stuff 🔨 🛠 ⚒️ 🔨 👍. Yea 3in occ belts are definitely big and hot 🔥 🥵 to wear and limit your accessories options. If I win you can drop it off in person or I'll pick it up 🤷 🤣. The Joey pouches are very nice quality and recently I moved to a diamondback vest myself for not so crazy loadouts. I even put a veto dp3 as the main tool bag works out well. For impact holsters especially budget rhe thoughbuilt compact impact holster is the smallest one your gonna find that has a great friction fit and under 20 dollars. Spec ops products are garbage rebrands of other online az noname tools (vet charity aside) your not buying quality there. The diamondback slingshot is a tad pricey but I like it better than most of that occidental polly stuff since it has 2 clips. Most of that clip on polly stuff if made for thr builders vests and such never intended for the main leather rigs. They do have some of thoes builders vest products you can clip on your suspenders up by your shoulders that is handy. I suggest for all you starting out and doing small things maybe not alot of tools get a occidental pocket caddy style and craft 3 pocket pouch or ox tools outback leather products like pouches. The funny carpenter has a video on the ox pouch and it's my everyday never take it off even driving tool carrier (pica pencil pb swiss insider flashlight utilty knife shaprie). The occ pocket caddy can handle a small trim square. And despite your video on tapes I still use my tajima for 5 years now never a issue mag x2 model. And for thoes starting you can add a diamondback hammer sheath to any full size tool bags without making a hole in them including occidental leather bags. Don't need to spend a fortune on that feature alone! I got endless mods and stories I could share and I'm glad your making more videos I do look out for them 👍. Keep making the magic and sorry if I cost you too much money 💰. Fyi try the occidental leather beltless retro system I bet you'll be hooked (it's only 6p dollars and you can use badgers or any existing tool belt and suspenders you got).

wtf I’m a carpenter and don’t have a journeyman card is this a requirement in certain states???

the problem i have is how do i get into the field idk anybody to get information about it

🔨 would enjoy having one on my set up
