i really wanna change career and be a carpenter. i wanna work with my hands and build something that would be so fulfilling than sitting in an office. and i wanna build my dog a badass doghouse!
Same mate! I’m sick of being inside looking at a screen all day...I just have to find a way to make some extra money on top of the 1st year mature age wages haha
Yeah, i went for work experience, alot harder than I expected, you need a lot of skill and fitness to be a carpenter. Fun job tho. Im doin a vet course at school
I am an Aussie carpenter myself and I would recommend stay with your office job and learn carpentry from TH-cam and carpentry books. Make it your hobby not career. Most of us became carpenters because we struggled with how the education system is structured around reading, writing and listening endlessly. Our brains are wired where we look at what we have to do, then we use our hands, and do it for our selves, the skill is now somewhat acquired. If you have the basics of becoming a carpenter then watching videos is actually 50% of the job done.
I find it excellent that you guys still use pneumatic nailers over gas/cordless ones, also how you still make the full use of good ole fashioned hammers.
I'm not a chippy by profession, but love air nailers. Can't beat the speed, no batteries, no gas cartridge replacement. The only negative is, you need a compressor! There are areas where something more portable works better, so they're all good. I guess it depends on what you do and where you work.
@@joekool5005 I’m a carpenter, and until a couple years ago, I would have agreed with you but the Metabo cordless framing nailer that came out recently definitely converted me. It’s almost as fast as a pneumatic nailer, and the time in hassle saved not having to deal with hoses and compressors really can’t be understated. It’s a game changer, and it’s what I run almost exclusively when I frame now.
Didnt think we had just site framers out there anymore. In my area all they do is prefab, or a builder who do their own frames. I have watched a few of these guys and it's a little slow. An Aussie Larry Haun? Haha.
Interesting to see how a house is built, thanks for sharing. Always wondering if there is any flooring (I mean upper floor) is concrete or all houses are wooden framed, since I always notice there are houses having squeaky floors in many inspections.
HI Jack, Thanks for video, am thinking about going on tools and was great seeing a POV. Any tips for a mature 1st year going into it ? - Like having ALL the tools, what would you recommend to have. Also got years of Pre-fab experience, looking at plans and that theory although in office environment. Ergo, why keen to eventually move and get hands on. Would builders be keen to pick me up with that behind me ?
@@waltermatthau8329 Thanks mate, encouraging words at this time for me being unemployed. Was worried how much being mature age would affect me, even with 2yrs behind.
@@MrDeano-eu9rg Yeah you're right about that. Anyway, comment from a year ago but i'm not in the construction industry. Did play around in commercial for 4 days when i was a bit dumber. "residential is cutt-throat" . Yeah.. as if $22 minus have to pay own tax isn't cutt-throat. Got clowned. No learning really, treated as if meant to be a professional on dog wage. Going back to white collar in future, maybe physio etc.
Obviously didn’t learn much about safety at TAFE (assume you went to tech though?), most professional sites in NSW you’d get booted off for walking around the framing like that, before a Workcover inspector tuned up fined the crap out of the builder & shut the site down!😎
Hey mate, im looking at being an apprentice. Ive already done work experience and didn’t go so well due to not being used to it. Any tips for being a better trainee? Im doing a vet course at school. I really want to be a carpenter.
Best advice mate show initiative go driving around looking for work sites hand out resumes and show that you're really keen on it keep hands out of pockets and dont play on your phone
@@mickerrr8001 learn how to read a tape and practice your cuts. Learn all the names of things ,ie noggins, studs, plates, ribbon plates, junctions, lintels ect.
It’s not hard just start out as a laborer and work your ass off show up to work every day early once you get a flow from 3 house builds if you like it buy tools your own tools I hate it when people borrow my shit. It’s not hard
@@Jack_martin thank you. I was looking at the framing standard after my comment. Didn't see where it asked for double top plates? I'm confused now how the ceiling joists attach if the walls have different heights? Extremal being 35/45mm higher. Ceiling joists sit on top? Thanks again legend
That information about when double top plates are required is in the span tables, not the framing code itself, you have to work out RLW and FLW. Also I suggest you go to TAFE and learn how coupled, non-coupled and trussed roof systems work.
Bro am looking for work as carpenter labourers or TA you have any work or connections. Just been doing everything any thing am pretty handy just wanting to work on carpentry skills.
Hey mate, I am a Queensland chippy. Go get your white card for safety on a construction site, Steel toe boots, fluro work shirt, long pants and just drive around to construction sites asking for work. If it is a small domestic site ask for the lead chippy or builder and if it is a high rise commercial site then ask for the site foreman. Find some places then go there 7am in the morning and be willing to offer them a day of free Labour to try you out. Best of luck 👍🏾
Some of those concrete nails went in bent. Either use a masonry drill and bolt the frame to the concrete or add another nail if it went in bent the first time. A bit of pride lad!
@@MrDeano-eu9rg because the concrete nails are a temporary means to keep the frame standing. The real tie down bolts are installed after all the frames are stood, plumbed and braced.
@@TheBoufhead yess true but that doesn't happen straight away and they are meant to hold it in place temporarily. If they aren't straight they're useless as ya can't skew them.
@@MrDeano-eu9rg "You can't skew them" why would you want to skew the nail or skew nail the frame? It's a bent concrete nail. Maybe 1 of every 25 in standing frames happens, it's temporary and doesn't effect the finished structural integrity of the frame. The nail bent, the frame stayed stood, it doesn't matter.
At least your smart enough to remove your ring,but hanging from your neck isn’t that cleaver either,one day your hammer claw will catch it and throw you off .Found that one myself about 30 yrs ago!
I’ve never understood why some guys go around and put their gang plates on after you stand all the walls Is there any benefit from it and why don’t you just do it when you stand the wall? Mint video though well done 💪🏻

Excellent job & vid mate !!
Good job. You're inspiration for me. I am planing study Carpentry Certificate in Aug. Hope to see you.

Nice work mate, another video would be great
Framing down under looks a lot like framing up above.
Hi Jack. Great vid 👍. Looking to move out to the sunshine coast end of the year any ideas if there's much carpentry work going on there at all?
Like the boots thorogoods 8" moc toes
You guys not use scaffolding or bird cages like we do in the uk?
very cool
Do you guys still have lots of work out there??! Canadian carpenter looking to run away from the winters..
Those walls are coming along nicely !
Ulbrich9 heaps down Melbourne where I am, if ya need some just hit me up
Yeah I'm in Mlebourne too, can confirm there's heaps of work here atm
Can you work in metric ? The bigger question is can you handle the heat. Oz is a bitch in summer...lol
Heaps of construction work in Australia, particularly in Melbourne. Come down!

Interesting to see how a house is built, thanks for sharing. Always wondering if there is any flooring (I mean upper floor) is concrete or all houses are wooden framed, since I always notice there are houses having squeaky floors in many inspections.
countries are different in England its mostly brick instead of timber frame
squeaky floors happens bc of use of nails and not screws better builders get their chippies to use screws.
nice one!!
Good video. Fun to watch mate.
Floor beam and posi install?
Roof trusses install?

If you can read and interpret plans, especially roof spans and roof angles then you’re already doing a lot better than most apprentices out there.

How many people were dragged out by giant freakin spiders while framing this house?
Haha was 0 when we left but always subject to change
Aussie are good, no need to level the walls!
we do level walls mate.
Haha if it wasn’t on a 20 min you tube video it mustn happen haha
I am greatly alarmed that you drove NAILS into the concrete, instead of anchors to fasten the bottom plate.
You can do that once frames are erected and braced off
Where do you need a ribbon plate or double top plate and where not?
Willo load bearing walls, not all of our internals are engineered to hold weight so they sit 35/45 lower

My boss would sack me if I nail those frames together without using level. All the walls must be Crooked/out of level.

And I’d sack you Muhammad Mehdi for not knowing the difference between the word ‘plumb’ and the word ‘level’. Just wow!....That’s all I can say.

How much do you make
Not about the money my guy
Why put the second top plate on after you already stood the walls? And 2nd story too? Fuck that lol
Also double top plate laps the corners different to the lower top plate. Makes the corner stronger
@@braydenkyte935 you can stand walls with the top plate over lapped at the corner and nail them on a ladder after you stand the walls.

No basements down under?

I’ve never understood why some guys go around and put their gang plates on after you stand all the walls
Is there any benefit from it and why don’t you just do it when you stand the wall?
Mint video though well done 💪🏻
Generally if we need a ladder while we're standing we will do it then, if we can reach the plates to pin them we just come back through after
