Vallie Station

You look so much like your Dad now.

Hadn't parked in my garage in two weeks cause if this problem... Thanks for the help. Tightened the cable. Now I'm a tad bit smarter

Saw your van on the highway. Had to see what was up haha!

Very informative video. I have a cedar log home and want to fill checks but I'm concerned about color matching to the existing stain as I don't intend to stain or paint after just fill checks... that's it. When these caulk products dry and I've found a caulk that is as close to the stain I have does the stain dry darker in color or the same as when it's wet. What brands of backer rod do you recommend? Thank you. Gilda

P, p

Here is my pro tip on starting a carpenters apprenticeship. DONT! It is a horrible industry taken over by methheads and or illegals driving the wages down to chicken feed. You will end up not being paid over half the time and the pay is horrible to begin with. Good luck getting away from the dopeheads as well as it is next to impossible. The things to look forward to are being overworked for peanuts with a bunch of methheads that dont know what they are doing and blame you for all thier shortcomings when the boss shows up in a 150k truck while you cant afford groceries. Even starting your own construction business is horrible, avoid at all costs. You are better off with almost any other blue collar apprenticeship. Electrician, Plumber, Networking, anything but carpentry. Steer clear

Sound like dusty Rhodes at the bigining and thanks for the video

Where do I find your play list I have a log home it has 7” logs a lot of rott and bug damage

Does that dewalt hepa filter work really well for drywall dust and is it still working well now? Thanks

For this style of logs (flat logs), do you have to caulk between the logs? (Horizontal). Thank you and great video.

Don’t all carpenters will be in hock forever these day carpenters are immigrants speak Spanish who want to work like this the job doesn’t pay crap and it will beat your body don’t behave this crap

You mentioned caulking butt joints with log siding. Is chinking necessary with log siding? Just sanded down my garage. It has a vapor barrier behind the log siding.. Using log wash, caulk butt joints/nail holes, and then stain. Haven't picked a stain yet. Looking st PPG products.

Just sanded my garage with 60 grit. Garage is log siding. Can I use the log wash after sanding to clean off siding before staining? Also, should there be any csulking necessary with log siding before staining? Greay videos. Moght reach out on your website to discuss further. Thanks.

Where did you get that mechanic's impact driver? That would help sooo much getting the old wood out.

That Goat cutting the new guy's hammer in half story is absolutely hilarious. Poor new guy lol

Apprentice using your videos to study

Yes..Some (American) YT’ers call all circular saws ‘Skill Saws’ and all reciprocating saws ‘Sawzall’ …it shouldn’t get under the skin, but it does because the poor ol’ manufacturer just can’t get out of the competitor’s shadow..it is kinda unfair. Also of course it is just plain lazy…How hard is it just to say the right words instead of the wrong ones, for goodness sake. It is here in UK too…lots of us call vacuum cleaners a ‘Hoover’ and do ‘hoovering’ just because the early vacuums were indeed Hoover. How do you think Dyson and other brands think of that?

My favorite break up line is, "It's not you, it's ME."

I’m 31 and I’ll be starting this August 2024 as a carpenter apprentice. I don’t have any experience in this kind of job but I’m willing to learn, I’m scared but excited at the same time for this new journey. I hope I’ll make out okay. Thanks for the video, it helps a lot ✌🏽

Excellent Thank you!

Thank you so much for the information

Thanks for the video and all the persons who have commented. I add my experience in case it will help someone, even though I could be fooling myself about the final point and not adding anything useful. I have a brand new stand and after bolting down the miter saw it would not raise. So I removed the saw to make it easier to manage. I believe I tried to open it while the stand was still sitting unladen on the floor but it would not raise. Then I stood the stand up on its wheels and then when pressing the latch the stand expanded. Once up it would not go back down. But now I had room to remove the black plastic cover and access to the adjustment nuts on the latching end of the cable. The cable appeared to have a touch too much slack so I tightened it up a little. But the stand would still not lower back down. The cable release mechanism appeared to be working correctly and I could take a screw driver and flip out the locking wings to see they were not catching, but it would not lower. I began to wonder was there a problem with something inside the slider tube. There was about an inch of travel when releasing the latch and after rereading comments especially the one from @raylowe1092 I could see that the movement was stopped by the pneumatic strut (gas lift) where it bolted into that short slot in the frame. It was as if this gas lift was stuck. Before unbolting the gas lift to troubleshoot my situation further I gave the body of it a couple of twists back and forth. Then everything started to work and the stand would lower and raise as it should. In short if having trouble lowering a brand new stand, try twisting the gas shock back and forth. In my case I was working on a bare stand so without 50 pounds of preloading. I was pressing down on it with some of my body weight but there is a chance I was being too gentle. But it suddenly started working after giving the pneumatic strut a good twist.

I'm three years late, but is your friend in Raleigh Nc willing to train anyone? I really want to learn/work in the carpentry field. 4:39

11 minutes to explain a 15second procedure

Though this was three years ago, it is really helpful. Thank you so much as you provided information very different from others

Dont be an apprentice carpenter. Its dummy labor work. Get in plumbers or electricians. Make way more money, and respected .

Todd, you are so right about “most guys who are in business & are creative have learning disabilities.” I used to be a teacher for special needs kids (&I too am in business, creative, and have a unique brain.😊) I would tell them that learning disabilities are like boulders in a river. And you learn how to navigate around them and to give yourself grace about them. BUT the water that flows around the boulders is even deeper, stronger and faster because of them! ✨

You old guys always have the best stories 😂. Thanks for the advice sir i’m hoping to start my apprenticeship soon.

Thanks! Appreciate the vid :)

How about log builder for caulking? They have a wood tone color I am looking to purchase. Would that brand also accept the stain?

Great video. This dyi'er has a lot of work to do. Aquired my parents log home. I was the last person to stain it, about 8-10 years ago. Plan to log wash, fill checks with backerrod when needed with log builder caulk, then stain with PPG semi transparent stain. Dealing with bats and carpenter bees too. It never ends. Thanks for all the tips and info.

Can you show how you use the laser on it?

What’s in this dudes coffee ? lol

I'm on my second stand and I just told myself straight to the trash and just purchased a rigid stand , I'm so sick of DeWalt and their shitty tools , true story .......when I first started my business I bought and used Ryobi (light green models) and as time went on I decided better tools would be best , so I bought DeWalt .......every DeWalt tool has broken and I still have all my Ryobi tools ........that says a lot. Probably due to me getting them from Home Depot and we all know DeWalt made their tools cheaper to sell at these types of stores.......obviously I'm not a satisfied customer ........on a good note found your channel so all is not lost , thanks for the content....

Glad to see these videos - resurrecting my 30 year? old Inca and these come in handy.. any ideas on tire replacement? Thanks for your videos. .
