IT ALL STARTS WITH THE TEACHERS ,THIS YOUNG LAD IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE A MENTOR LIKE DAN .
It all starts with the father
True about good teachers .but I bet the teacher felt good as a teacher with this pupil. Rather than other pupils texting friends under the table. Etc you can only teach if pupil wants to be taught. I.E. you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink it..also love the comments of other old school traders. Makes me proud to be in the game.
Teachers are everything
@@KeithWhittingham BOOM !!
Bang on mate !!
😎👍☘️🍺
@@peterfitzpatrick7032 Mothers too but fathers are more important once kids turn two. Mothers protect kids from the world, fathers prepare kids for the world.
This is the kind of lad you would have seen more of back in the yester years of the building trade unfortunately we celebrate not being able to string a sentence together and being a social media influencer ,shame there isn't more like him who are so keen and articulate.
Well said lad.
Exactly
Very, very! true.
Absolutely
Chris you’d appreciate my life story pertaining to work history/current.
We do meed more folks like this kid.
Lovely lad. A real credit to his parents.
Just my thoughts great lad
Great touch for a big man
All credit due to him!
From 30+ years as a carpenter this video has warmed my heart. This lad has us in good hands. Well done.
My feeling exactly James👍I was starting to think lads like Elliot no longer existed😬
Makes us all proud to see a young person so well spoken, incredibly talented and motivated. Well done !
SPOT ON .
WE NEED MORE YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE THIS .
A raratiy these days ,.WELL DONE .
it's nice to hear a young lad put a sentence together
Wow, what a breath of fresh air. Unbelievable for a 20 year old....... He's even showing Roger tricks. Roger get this kid to do an odd tool review or feature on your channel .
Brilliant to see a kid with such a good attitude and some brain's. Well done 👏
This lad will be a great teacher to others in the future. He's really confident and articulate.
Wow, great to see someone so young so good, conscience and keen to learn. I'm impressed.
He was a joy to watch Jeff🤗Made my day seeing how keen he is.
He’s a top lad! Wouldn’t think twice about trusting him to get the job done!!
I'm 65 years old and coming to the end of my working life. I've been in the motor trade and latterly the brewing industry, both of which I've enjoyed but I do wish in hindsight that I'd followed my late Father into the construction industry. This young man is an absolute star, not only is he an articulate individual, he's heading for the top of his game. With chaps like him in the game the construction industry is in safe hands. I'd really like to shake his hand and thank him for his dedication to the British construction industry. I'm envious of him. Thanks Roger for bringing him to our attention.
How old I feel watching this and I'm sure a lot will feel the same. He's loving his place and he oozes energy and brightness, good lad ! ..... My son is 19 and although in a different field (Aeronautical Engineering) .... I see so much in this video of this young man as I see in my son .... bursting with direction and keen to demonstrate, he will go far and reap the rewards.
Couldn't have said it better myself, reminds me of myself when was his age, excited about the prospects of the future in my chosen field (30 years ago)
@@simonRTJ he’s amazing just like myself 🤣
perfect combination of eagerness, motivation, passion, and self-consciousness. That is how good craftsmen are born Thanks for showing that these young men are still there
How proud must his parents be? A true example of how a young man should be.
Lovely lad, parents must be well chuffed.
Working in the roofing trade for 24 years and lack of young lads coming through the ranks this is great to see. All the best to him in future 👏
that's a good thing for the person who will never have to do the shitty job of roofing.
cause no one wants to work in a shit trade like roofing.
Seems to be the way with most trades, Im a HGV mechanic theres hardly any decent lads coming through the trade either
yeah bcus u wanna pay em 40 pound a day for 300 pound worth of work ya bunch of fools
No point in working a trade building houses and not being able to afford a house.
Great Chipie! That’s a lad who’s loves to learn and loves his trade. Nice to see a young person own their job, listens when unsure and confident to display his knowledge. Great to see
There's nothing about this lad I don't like🤗He can set out a hip and its relevant cuts, use a handsaw, has an Estwing and can knock 4" wires in with it👊 This is really great to see😎Thanks for the video Roger and Dan
Thanks for watching it Del and the great comments. 🙌🏻
@@Ultimate-roofing-square. Watching this lad gives us all hope Dan😎Well done mate🤗
@@thetallcarpenter I’ve had another young chap with me who was also very keen to learn. Certainly great work ethics and a pleasure to share some knowledge. 👊🏻
Where do you find lads like this?
He's interested, Hardworking, and sharper than one of Robin Clevitts chisels👍
I'd be happy to find one that could stay off drugs and get up out of bed!
Going by what Elliot said he’s about to start his 3rd year at the carpentry trade ? In Ireland apprenticeships in bricklaying ,carpentry, plastering electrics etc are 4 years duration . They are made up of mostly onsite work and block releases to institute of technology (i.t) . When I served my time in the early 80s most guys would start serving there time at age 16 or 17 and be out of there time at 20 or 21 ,by the end of your 4 year training period you’d be expected to be capable of working independently. Elliot looks like he’s going to be a good one . I suspect he’s capable of doing the whole of that roof independently. Beth skinner ( who would be out of her time by now ) is an impressive bricklayer and Darcie from rattle kings who’s only at the bricklaying trade I think just over a year is very impressive .very confident person . From the outside looking in at mostly English based construction channels the word apprentice seems to be used very loosely . I wonder how many of they guys being referred to as an apprentice in these are actually properly registered and following a definitive course to being qualified tradesmen . Very little I suspect . Especially in the bricklaying trade it seems to be mostly laboring they do .
I'm not a builder, I'm a musician and I know all too well that any skill is going to take dedication and hard work to acquire. Obviously Elliot takes the same view. Good on him!
Just come across this video and I can honestly say that Elliott has reinstalled my faith in the youth of today! With guys like him in the trade the future looks bright. Intelligent enthusiastic worker, kudos to you mate! Keep it up.👍
This Young man is a rarity.
His attitude and approach are rightly being applauded.
Clearly being taught the right way along with a passion for his trade are the key ingredients here.
Good stuff.
Old head on young shoulders.
Can you imagine what this country would be like if we could churn out more of this?
Mature, responsible, articulate, hard working, skillfull, and hungry.
Proper old school.
Not only is this young man a credit to himself and his craft but he also must give Dan a great deal of incentive and pride to pass on his knowledge to such an enthusiastic apprentice.
To hand down your craft skills to a person is the ultimate acknowledgment of confidence in that said person.
Lovely little film Rog, it would be great to see the young lads progress over a series of programmes.
Could do with a few more like him that's for sure, makes a pleasant change to see a youngster actually interested in the trade, all the best to him.
But even after watching video after video on hand cut roofing, I still don't understand it, I'll leave it to the real craftsmen. 😭
Just wonderful. Keen young chippie with good teachers. Makes me want to get back on the tools. An inspiration.
May I just say how refreshing it is to see a young guy of his age coming into the trade with such professional attitude and visible competency. He should be proud of himself as well as whoever employs him.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
What a lovely guy, and so young too! Very mature for his age and explains his techniques very well. Lovely to see this, I hope he goes far, and hope to see more of him on the channel in the future.
Yes he does give a good explanation and is making his own videos.
Eliot is a legend, his Instagram is amazing for apprentices like myself, talks about his thoughts and processes. Top lad!
This young man is an absolute inspiration! Great to see someone with such passion for their trade. Keep up the good work 👍
I'm not even in the trade but lad make me kinda proud of my generation, nice to see hard working and motivated lads my own age
You can really tell he loves his craft. Great to see.
So refreshing, you'll go far Elliot, unlike many if your phone dies you know the long way to calculate, polite, articulate & intelligent 👍 👍 👍
inspiring to watch a Young Fellow with a good attitude. Well done to all ! Stephen australia
Being an old retired chippy myself, it's a pleasure to see this young lad with so much skill already and his enthusiasm is excellent. He deserves to do so well in the future, he is a credit to our trade.
Nice to see there are some youngsters taking pride in there work and learning there trade and not sacrificing quality workmanship keep it up 👍🏻
Wow 👌 👏 this young man is in his element.. the big smile at the end ..wishing Elliott the very best..
Big Up young man.
Great to see a lad like this who clearly loves what he's doing.i wish him all the very best in his bright future.
Good to see the young lad wearing his eye and hearing protection as well.
What a charming well mannered young man. A perfect example to some of the yobs we have today.
I'm 24, I've got just under 2 years in carpentry and 4 years in the labor industry. Watching this young man is amazing, mind blowing, and extremely motivational. The amount of knowledge and the ability to take it from paper to fruition really is impressive
Absolutely loved watching Eliot work with Dan. Eliot is an inspiration to everyone getting into the industry, his passion shines. Great to see the hand saw and 4” wires. Thanks for this video Roger and Dan great to see that your sharing this knowledge all the best Tony 👍
What a joy to see the enthusiasm shown by Eliot and Dan. I have recently retired from 20+ years teaching carpentry in an FE college (previous 28 years in industry) and the greatest job satisfaction from teaching is to see young carpenters developing their skills and eventually completing their qualification. A big pat on the back for Dan who is willing to spend time with eliot to explain not only how things are done, but why they are done in certain ways. Too many employers do not spend time with these apprentices and need to remember what it was like when they started out on their journey. Well done Eliot, I hope we can follow your progress with Dan.
What a great attitude, young elliot will go far.
He has a great future ahead.. Awesome work.
What a fantastic example of a bright well mannered skilled young man
Wonderful 3D thinking. And great of the older guys to be so supportive of his talent.
Nothing better than seeing young lads enjoying and getting involved in there work 👍🏼
Great to see a young lad with a passion for his craft
What I like about this video is that both old and young are learning from each other and the enthusiasm of the young lad is like a breathe of fresh air.
Impressive skills already and a great work ethic. It’s good to see that supportive guidance from the skilled carpenter to the apprentice. Amazing how back in the day the apprentice paid the craftsman but today, if there are keen lads like this then that mastery of the carpentry art will live on. Well done young-un! W
What an inspiration this chap is for the younger generation, his passion really shines through along with his knowledge of the job in hand. This attitude even in the older generation, is not something you see often enough nowadays.
I wish I was thus eager when I did my carpentry apprenticeship.
What a great lad! He has a great future ahead of him with this level of detail and motivation at this stage in his career!
Well done to the young man. Took me back years when I built my house. Paper and pencil basic geometry and hard graft with saw, hammer and nails and level. Pride on the finished job was immense. Roof has never moved in over 40 years. Keep up the good work chaps.
Wow it’s good to see someone so good so early. I’ve had apprentice’s for years who have no clue,even on the basics 👍🏻
This lad seems to be very talented in his joinery trade.Good to see that some of the youth nowadays are learning a trade and working with their hands.Its not all about computers or smartphones.
A student is as good and his teacher! Credit to both of these guys! It's because of people like these 2 guys the UK is so far ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to building/carpentry! I'm from Australia and I would love to see a apprentice down here know what he knows!
Well done mate👍
An awessome lad taking his trade very seriously.
The only problem is we need hundreds of people like him in all trades.
How honest and humble and willing to learn the proper way! Great lad, all the best!!
This lad is a credit to himself. It’s so hard to find lads willing to learn and listen. He has a bright future ahead.
Nice young man, you can see the enthusiasm in his face, he loves this job and he is good at it ! A pleasure to watch!
I can only imagine the boost of confidence this kid is getting working with such masters. By my humble opinion he can easy start teaching others:)
Great to watch a young tradesman and an older tradesman work with such dedication and ability. I hope the home owner appreciates the level of detail and craftsmanship involved in his roof extension.
Great career ahead of him,best of luck Elliott 👏
It is so refreshing to see a youngster taking to his trade with a smile and genuine care for what he produces. Keep it up!
Talanted lad,full of confidence. He’ll go far in life,
Such positive energy emanating from this young man, his parents must be so proud of him 😊
Love it. My brother showed me this 30 years ago. He could pre cut an entire conventional roof in his workshop on rain days and take to site on his truck.
Brilliant to see a young lad with that much enthusiasm, he will do alright.
I started roofing at 13 with my old man every day I had off of school and all summer long. By the time I was 17, I was given my own 2 man crew & truck. At 19, I started my own company and never looked back. Tradesmen are born, not made and it's wonderful when a young man finds his way early and goes on to have a very productive life. That's what makes them phenoms. Good stuff.
Wish people would take me on, since i left college i keep asking people to go work with them and keep getting told that they won't be able to take me on, but glad to see others my age being able to get jobs
Don’t give up! Sometimes we have to knock on a 100 doors before the right opportunity comes to fruition! Do NOT be discouraged by rejection it’s only part of the process. 10 years from now you will be a skilled tradesmen if that’s your dream 👍🏽
@@vinnysurti just getting fed up with being turned down for 4 years going on 5
Past 3 years has been a challenge for everyone, however today is the beginning of the rest of your life! Try a different approach. Maybe offer to volunteer in your spare time? Widen your search or method? If you want something badly enough you will eventually get it!
@@mattystyles4683 Have you tried Redrow? as they are taking over Kent and building newbuilds all over Kent .
@@vinnysurti yeah i get it, i can't widen my search for work because of not having a vehicle
Fantastic - all the best with your prosperous and varied career ahead of you!
Great attitude for a bright future 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great to see a young lad really enjoying putting what he has learnt into practice. Please do a follow up video in a few months please, be great to see how he is getting on. Cheers 😃👍
A friend of mine asked if I would take their boy on as an apprentice.
He’d been a college 2yrs, keen, good in class blah, blah.
Rocked up on his scooter late. NO tools, no PPE, not even a pencil! 😂
great to see such enthusiasm from such a young lad , he's going far
Carpenters are underrated and underpaid. Most lay folks don't realize just how complex the profession really is. They must know how to master all manner of tools, have a working knowledge of mathematics, know timber species and their most appropriate placements, just to mention the basics.
Probably why many site agents were chippys
underpaid?....isnt 200-250 a day enough then?
@@Lloyd1885 how much is it worth a day for you to have a place that wont collapse?
@@dylanwheaton2785 Im all for decent wages, but at that sort of money, its hardly being underpaid is it
What you on about, every site lad i know is getting paid £200/300 a day. Lads i know working in workshops still make £130+ a day with all the comforts of not working on sites.
Its a bloody well paid job coming from getting paid £10/hr working doors which was ten times the hassle and stress.
Great young man, very knowledgeable,he’s going to go places, construction needs more like him!
Great to see a young enthusiast lad loving his job, a breath of fresh air. Not many about who want to actually learn the job properly.
Amazing to see an enthusiastic young lad about an old trade, I was beginning to think I'd see a dinosaur before seeing a good young apprentice,
Goodluck for the future!
Fantastic to see young guys loving the trade they’ve picked as a career’ and great experienced guys like Dan taking them under his wing 👍👍
Good on him, you can tell he's passionate about his job. 👍
Is right young man!!! And props to you Roger for putting the spotlight on a skilled young lad like that! Great vid as always 👌
This video should be shown in all collages. This young man is a credit to the trade. He is a true tradesman. Well done for showing this. A lot of hard work goes into being a professional carpenter joiner.
What I love about this lad is that he conveys what he has learned to an experienced builder who then gives positive feedback but also explains practical building on site. He is obviously there to continue his practical experience.
absolutely fantastic to see a video were young men are respected and competent; honing their skills from good to great, in the presence of their mentor.
Keep up the good work young man.
Lovely to see the cut roof being done properly.
What a privilege to see a young man who is truly engaged, passionate, willing to learn and obviously enjoying his work.
Wish I was as tuned in as this lad at 20. Great to see this generation being excellent at their trade.
Absolutely outstanding for a young lad great to see 👌
Even more baby-faced than Robin Clevett. Good work from the lad! Reassuring to see this level of skill and interest from the future generation.
Good to see such quality coming through! I was going down the route of carpentry after school but after 3 yrs and seeing how many low skilled “trades people” were coming in and pulling down the earning potential, I decided to go to Uni and in to IT. However I really enjoyed carpentry, almost as if it were a hobby and not a job and the satisfaction of building something was great.
People need to appreciate that just because someone calls themselves a certain trade, it doesn’t always make it so, and for quality work, it is right and worth paying more. It’s good to see wages in trades are now being pushed up again and people like this remind everyone what quality work looks like!
Fantastic to see his enthusiasm and keenness. We need lots more like him 👍
Can’t go far wrong with Dan the man guiding him 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Blown away! What a fantastic lad and Great advert for the trade. Well done fella, keep listening and learning.
I had fun watching this. Thank you for this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great young man,he has it all,Great attitude,enthusiasm,skill and manners..and ill bet the alarm never fails on his fone in the morning!
keep it up and the best of luck
Credit to his parents is that young man our beloved trade is in safe hands
I had a 14-year-old kid helping me out a few months ago doing some carpentry. Super thick Southern accent I could barely understand him, but damn he was sharp! Really advanced common sense, just kind of understood how things work, and he had endless energy, super polite and positive. I was blown away.
Hope yous feature this lad again his enthusiasm is fantastic to see.
This is a very confident young lad who is wanting to leatn to do the job right. Wish you many years of success 👏👏👏👏
