I'm a 60 year old retired chippy from the UK now living in the Czech republic.........Long story. Personally the older guy maybe slower but the quality will be far better and he can also pass his skills on to the younger ones as long as they don't touch his tools and buy their own.
Quality first on gate production, speed will come as they are knocking on gates, A guy who brings his own tools means he cares enough on a trail to do the best job with tools he knows he can use, which also means he will value your tools whilst using them and will look after them....Good luck with your choice
Hey Dave, my son had a great quote from his old boss who did specialized construction work. “You can have it fast, cheap or good, but you can only have 2 of the three. So either it’s good work and fast but it won’t be cheap or fast and cheap but it won’t be good or good and cheap but it won’t be fast. You can never have all three. Honestly I’d look within the company and think if there was anyone who you think would do great with training and I’d ask everyone if someone was interested in moving over. Maybe you’ll get lucky and have the same person interested that you think would be good. The other thing to consider is your guy who’s always been around wood may have capabilities you aren’t aware of. Think of places you’re wanting to take the woodwork and see if any of the guys have the ability to do it now. You never know.
Another great video guys! Also, for Stevie - Ducks don't feel the cold like we do, as they have something called a "counter-current heat exchange system", where the veins and arteries in the legs are entwined to create heat. So blood flowing into the legs is cool, but when it goes back into the body, the heat exchange system warms it up again.
Take the guy with quality and knock him in to shape with on-site training like you did with Jamie. Within six months to a year, you'll have a great guy. He'll settle down in time .
You need to get through that pile at the back of the yard and then some for that. Need a mini trommel to get through the mountain of soil from digging out a slab for a small workshop. Keep it up, chaps, on catch-up for the videos.
Good Sunday video Stevie top soil galore at James house lots of preparation for it but will look amazing at the end,😎👍, Dave I always believe someone who brings in his own tools especially on a trial is a good thing, I let him know that he's possibly in with a chance but needs to work faster on targets perhaps he might suprise you, fingers crossed 🤞,
Dave, he may have been slower because it was a strange environment but, he came prepared. He would probably speed up once he gets into the environment.
Gday Stevie, love James and be nice when it is all finished. Great Sunday Episode and great work from the guys and gals of D&J Projects 🤗😊👍😁 The guy who is precise but slow. Quality over speed.
I agree the older guy will be the best and when the time comes he can train on and you said he was qualified so go with him and the vid was excellent Steve did a great job clearing that site
Hey, Im a long time watcher, first time commenter. In relation to your dilemma about whom to hire, I would 100% say, wait for the right person! I have ran my business solo for a lot of years and I do things a certain way because I know the standard I want to produce for the customer and for my brand. I have trialed people before to help me out, and you pick the best out of what is available, however, that doesnt always mean that they are the right fit for the business. You end up wishing you held out for the right person. What is available at the time is not always the best fit for you. I would say from my experience, for custom stuff like that, unless you feel the "spark", its worth waiting. You guys have the reputation for quality, and if you are looking to improve on that, you need to have the faith in the person from the start. You are well known and trusted enough now, that people will want to work for you! so I would say, give it a bit more time and see who else really wants you join your team. Thats just my thoughts on the matter, sorry for the essay! You folks are awesome!
Another great video Dave and Stevie thank you . The best thing to do is to promote from your staff and train in my experience , you have some excellent candidates .
amazing video as always boys ive watched every single episode since the start! when james house is all finished i think you should pull all the footage from the start and do a huge episode start to finish of the project at james house.!
When your trying to replace somebody, the hardest thing is not trying to find some one exactly the same because you won't. Unless your lucky Get the older guys, they can train the younger guys already employed. Quick is not good, not bringing own tools is not good. And get the whole team down to do a shuffle party on the grass. Thanks for the videos
Get them both in and ask them to make a bespoke gate. But then if someone brought own toolz then that says alot. All depends how quick you want someone or is someone in the company that yu could move up and then an apprentice. Not any easy descion.
Great video as usual regarding the position quality over speed is there anyone in the company once to be trained to your standard which would be another option but you seem to not have the time to do this hard decision. Thanks again for your video that I enjoy.
Interesting Decision Dave. Slow & Steady and Been around wood all his life are the 2 choices of the 3 mentioned. Go with quality and understanding of wood.
Smashing job Stevie & crew🤗.... as to the hiring 1 of the 3 gents. I would first ask all the employees is there anyone interested in moving up to constructing what ya need. You want to make sure there's no hard feelings amongst your loyal crew. Then if NOT bring in each man your interested in FILLING THE position for a 2 day trial period. Your wood guy without the license may surprise you how good he is. I think hands on experience is under rated to often and Good hard working people are often over looked. But if it required and you like him then give him a job not requiring the license and incurage him to get the license to be able to do that job. Just my opinion you've been doing an outstanding job with your company for years you know what the right chose is for your needs & business . Great cuts, high & tight ,very much like our Marines 🫡🫡😊...❤little pickles 😊
Great episode again boys always fun watching u guys nice to see finn as he been missing for a bit ?? Go with your head dave about the joiner you have a great business head on you you will make the right choice 👍 from big daz from leek
Hi guys as an employer I always understood that if a position became available then it would be offered to the staff members first. One this will help them further their career and let them learn new skills, and number 2 it shows them that you as an employer trust and respect them and are willing to give them a chance to step up. If nobody is interested then you offer it out to the public etc…. Good luck and I’m sure that you will make the best decision for the company in the end. I would insert an inspirational quote here( ) but I cannot remember it. 😂.
Dave , could you train Reece as he’s been helping you in the Woodside, you can teach him and he already know s the D&J way. That’s if he would like to. Stevie another great video . And I like the haircuts really smart.
Hi Dave, fast is what you want and hope mistakes are learnt , remembering it's your rep on the line . but like everything you'll know when it feels right and that's the one, might have to keep doing the job yourself untill the right one comes along , great job Stevie on James's going to take time but look amazing when done
Geordie would love one of those new dumpers the ones with the cab at the front on a dumper been at the back like I say the cab is all covered everything heated etc😂😂
Quality every time. Might be a bit slower than your used to but may speed up once settled in. Maybe once he was settled in get an apprentice and both train them up to future proof the business. As for the tools thing, maybe they didnt want to. Be seen taking tools from current place of work to arouse suspicions they maybe seeking a new challenge/job
Have you done a patio similar to the one you've just done I just seem to remember the greenhouse for some reason lol everything looks so good though x😊
I think your next purchase has to be a tracked skid steer. It would have sped up transferring the topsoil round the back. It is easier to level the ground and compact down the topsoil. Maybe try to hire one just for this job.
Go for the experience guy and may be he can train up a younger one but the gate made looked good it hard but think it through well done Stevie and Jordan with the levels it was grand How is big Ant doing good I hope tc now all well done Jack the oldies 👍👍👍👍👍
Hello Dave & Stevie, Great channel I been here a long time and full respect to you guys for how you treat and respect your customers and staff, regarding the potential new starter on the bench I would go with the chap who has no qualifications, for these reasons, He Will have to work harder to prove to you that he is up for the tasks ahead, He will do exactly what you ask him to do your way with now arguments, He has probably been turned down for all the jobs he really wanted all his life because of the lack of qualifications, He will probably have a lot more skills in other departments as he will have had several different jobs, Give him a shot! what is the worst that can happen? 3 month trial and you will see the guy you wanted😁 And just for the record I don't know him or have never met him but I will say this, I never did good at school and never got any college qualifications, I never got an apprenticeship and at the age of now 62 I would consider myself one of the best refrigeration engineers in my field👍 Keep smashing out guys!!!❤
Getting someone in the wood side will be hard as you and Jamie are so close. If you didn't get that feeling "yes this is the person I want" keep looking until you get that warm fluffy feeling. Or bring two of them back in for another day. But the gate looks well clean.
There is a mini loader digger combo you can get and the attachments for landscaping (roller, rake, etc.) making this task much easier. Not sure how much landscaping is your business doing but this is something worth considering if you do jobs like this often. I had a solo guy come out and do my yard in a machine like this in 1 day, really good stuff.
Think you have answered your dilemma, fact you are unsure on the trials means you prob haven’t got the one you want. Maybe play to your strengths and train someone up who already knows the business and can be moulded to your business needs. You have a great track record at it too!😊
Another mint 1 👌. Why not go with your gut on the guy you prefer out of the three ?Put him on a,let's say,3-6 months probationary contract for starters and see how he performs in the field.
That’s exactly what I was going to say. I think it’s the 60 yr old guy. Tell him 6 months so he has something for Christmas. You know he can do it. He just needs some steering. If it doesn’t work out you part as friends. Thing is Dave. A trial is rubbish. Whoever is doing it knows they are bringing watched and on tenterhooks. You can still keep looking. Give it 4 weeks and it may be a different story.
I had to get some wedgers from you, mine moved after settling in. I have asked for you to come and check a post, it looks like a reinforcing rod as started to brake out. Good video as usual keep up the good work boys and girls. Hope your new panel maker works out for you he as got some big shoes to fill. Hope everything is working out for Jamie.
Yes ducks do feel the cold When ducks feel discomfort on really cold days, they'll take extra measures to keep warm. If a bird is especially cold, it may alternately lift one foot and tuck it into its feathers to help conserve heat. Another thing that you may see a duck do is tuck their bill into their feathers. Hope this answers your question stevie and Dave if your not happy with the standard of work of the new guys find someone you are because it's your reputation at risk if not
Afternoon D&J team …. So good work been done this week all around Dave have you thought about Asne for the wood side as he seemed quite the handyman and he’d be able to step in any where he’s needed for the odd day or so. 😊😊 I think the yard is starting to look like it could do with a sweep out there seems to be soil everywhere which isn’t like D&J Projects. 😊😊😊😊
Dave. You seem to be really invested in the yard and I find it really interesting. May I ask. How much do not LEGO 😉 blocks cost? They are a fabulous barrier
Dave, have a chat with the 3 prospective staff and discuss the results with each, then trust your gut. They may say something to you that tip the scales. Best of luck. Love the content and variety. Cheers!
Reguard that wall am surprised that you dont think of removing top bocks and moving the next row across to clise the grap and then move each block together then the blocks you yook down put them along that row and then get others to put on top of those ones
definitely go with the slow but precise person as i assume that is the person that brought their own tools to the trial and that if you want to get into precision gates, you want someone to make it as precise as the meadurements given to them
Working in food & hospitality for my whole working career we had a saying "if you want it done proper then its worth the wait, if you want it done fast then pop off to Maccy D's" Personally i would take quality over quantity all day long. It's your reputation at stake. Don't spoil the ship for a ha'peth of tar. Good luck in your search and i love watching your jobs every week 🙂
Bring your own tools is a good start but I would also contemplate training a couple of the staff you have as well so your never without someone able to do the jobs you want
Own tools and Quality his speed will hopefully pickup just like a driving test you learn after passing . James's looking great needs loads more soil possibly a way to make space in the yard lol
I'd opt for the guy that brought his tools BUT I'd have one of the guys that wants to learn. And I'd train both of them how you like it done, then you have a backup.
Quality over speed at the end of the day it's got your name and reputation on it.
I'm a 60 year old retired chippy from the UK now living in the Czech republic.........Long story. Personally the older guy maybe slower but the quality will be far better and he can also pass his skills on to the younger ones as long as they don't touch his tools and buy their own.

Precision guy will get quicker and always maintain the D&J standards is my 2ps worth
All the best 🎉

It's the same with push bikes - cheap, light, robust - pick any 2.
Another great video guys!

I agree, the guy producing quality will get quicker if you need him to. Take him on on a short contract that you can extend if he delivers.
Love seeing James place amazing what he's got planned and what you've done there.
Back to James House, wow its just beautiful ,love it ,cannot wait to see the house all finished ,❤
You need to get through that pile at the back of the yard and then some for that. Need a mini trommel to get through the mountain of soil from digging out a slab for a small workshop. Keep it up, chaps, on catch-up for the videos.
Good Sunday video Stevie top soil galore at James house lots of preparation for it but will look amazing at the end,😎👍,

James' is going to look brilliant when it's finished. The gate was well made.
(Remember There Can Only Be One).😂😂

Another fantastic instalment from team d&j projects experience and quality any-day speed will come knowledge and craftsmanship all-day long

Go for the bench joiner if you re looking at doing more specialist gates.Slower and precision is important...and he brought his own tools!
Just watching a day late as on holiday in Gran Canaria, got to catch up with D&J when I can!
amazing video as always boys ive watched every single episode since the start! when james house is all finished i think you should pull all the footage from the start and do a huge episode start to finish of the project at james house.!

Get the older guys, they can train the younger guys already employed.
Quick is not good, not bringing own tools is not good.
And get the whole team down to do a shuffle party on the grass.
Thanks for the videos
The diesel transfer pump on the jcb, can you not put a one-way valve on the pipe to prevent spills like what you had on the video?
Well impressed with that landscaping work, Stevie, on that big job. Epic. 💪👍
The first bit was like sea sick steve, 🤣🤣🤣
Get them both in and ask them to make a bespoke gate. But then if someone brought own toolz then that says alot.
All depends how quick you want someone or is someone in the company that yu could move up and then an apprentice. Not any easy descion.
You guys are amazing I need you in Scotland. Did the owner not have a cover for the pool? Bit of a big expect to hope nothing goes in the water.
The experienced guy is the way to go and get a apprentice in with him what that kid would learn is priceless mate and a win for you mate
you guys are unreal and always do a top job , bet yous love this game haha
You got have quality and quality takes time hope you find the right guy 👍👍
Great video as usual regarding the position quality over speed is there anyone in the company once to be trained to your standard which would be another option but you seem to not have the time to do this hard decision. Thanks again for your video that I enjoy.
Ducks have waterproof feathers . Your a bit young but your dad will remember eiderdown bed quilts we all had very warm .
Interesting Decision Dave. Slow & Steady and Been around wood all his life are the 2 choices of the 3 mentioned. Go with quality and understanding of wood.

train on of the boys up
Are you going to follow up with the mansion lanscaping which looks interesting

Experience counts more than anything.
that was a very nice looking gate
Top work Stevie my man
Get a carpenter who loves his job mate,
Have you done a patio similar to the one you've just done I just seem to remember the greenhouse for some reason lol everything looks so good though x😊
I think your next purchase has to be a tracked skid steer.
It would have sped up transferring the topsoil round the back. It is easier to level the ground and compact down the topsoil.

Jamie just come back look at poor Dave he’s shattered without you lol 😅
Go for the experience guy and may be he can train up a younger one but the gate made looked good it hard but think it through well done Stevie and Jordan with the levels it was grand How is big Ant doing good I hope tc now all well done Jack the oldies 👍👍👍👍👍
Hello Dave & Stevie, Great channel I been here a long time and full respect to you guys for how you treat and respect your customers and staff, regarding the potential new starter on the bench I would go with the chap who has no qualifications, for these reasons,
He Will have to work harder to prove to you that he is up for the tasks ahead,
He will do exactly what you ask him to do your way with now arguments,
He has probably been turned down for all the jobs he really wanted all his life because of the lack of qualifications,
He will probably have a lot more skills in other departments as he will have had several different jobs,
Give him a shot! what is the worst that can happen? 3 month trial and you will see the guy you wanted😁
And just for the record I don't know him or have never met him but I will say this,
I never did good at school and never got any college qualifications, I never got an apprenticeship and at the age of now 62 I would consider myself one of the best refrigeration engineers in my field👍
Keep smashing out guys!!!❤
Videos always best when you are on them Dave
Southern softies 5°c is summer up here in Durham 😅
Getting someone in the wood side will be hard as you and Jamie are so close. If you didn't get that feeling "yes this is the person I want" keep looking until you get that warm fluffy feeling. Or bring two of them back in for another day. But the gate looks well clean.
A joiner with experience and a young apprentice should be your target 🎯
You’ve hit the nail on the head there mate

Great video DJ
Stevie, is it not confusing measuring in inches and centimetres? You might end up with a gate 88 inches wide 😂😂 love all your videos ❤
I mix measures all of the time. It’s not the sizes that let you down. It’s the memory 😂😂😂😂
I can’t use inches. Gives me a headache 😂
I agree Dave. I'd bring everything. Maybe bit to much 😂
Stevie in the gate making section 😂😂😂😂
I had to get some wedgers from you, mine moved after settling in. I have asked for you to come and check a post, it looks like a reinforcing rod as started to brake out. Good video as usual keep up the good work boys and girls. Hope your new panel maker works out for you he as got some big shoes to fill. Hope everything is working out for Jamie.
Lots of stuff going on boys, ground levelling was pretty good
Another Great VIDEO lads
Was that made ground colliey shale, just the colour of it.
Well done Stevie and Dave .
The precise guy who is a bit slow can always get quicker but his quality would keep you ahead of the curve. Give him the job! 🎉❤
Great video plenty of different jobs loved it
You need some one who work is good you have a reputation to keep .
Yes ducks do feel the cold When ducks feel discomfort on really cold days, they'll take extra measures to keep warm.

Nah they don't feel it......its like water off a ducks back Stevie 😉🤣🤣
Fantastic work just love JAMES HOUSE very interesting job poor Jordan getting wet and Dave you will pick the right man
Afternoon D&J team …. So good work been done this week all around Dave have you thought about Asne for the wood side as he seemed quite the handyman and he’d be able to step in any where he’s needed for the odd day or so. 😊😊
I think the yard is starting to look like it could do with a sweep out there seems to be soil everywhere which isn’t like D&J Projects. 😊😊😊😊
Dave. You seem to be really invested in the yard and I find it really interesting. May I ask. How much do not LEGO 😉 blocks cost? They are a fabulous barrier
Dave, have a chat with the 3 prospective staff and discuss the results with each, then trust your gut. They may say something to you that tip the scales. Best of luck. Love the content and variety. Cheers!
Mack you got it spot on. Impressive answer
Have a lot of the gravel boards under the fences moved -sunk . ?
Reguard that wall am surprised that you dont think of removing top bocks and moving the next row across to clise the grap and then move each block together then the blocks you yook down put them along that row and then get others to put on top of those ones
definitely go with the slow but precise person as i assume that is the person that brought their own tools to the trial and that if you want to get into precision gates, you want someone to make it as precise as the meadurements given to them
57:00 looks like you need a new bucket tooth for the big JCB digger - also did we ever give the machine a name?
Slow and steady wins the race so first one
Working in food & hospitality for my whole working career we had a saying "if you want it done proper then its worth the wait, if you want it done fast then pop off to Maccy D's" Personally i would take quality over quantity all day long. It's your reputation at stake. Don't spoil the ship for a ha'peth of tar. Good luck in your search and i love watching your jobs every week 🙂
What’s happened to the bottom fence looks like castle tops
Bring your own tools is a good start but I would also contemplate training a couple of the staff you have as well so your never without someone able to do the jobs you want
Why didn’t you take another panel out and use the tipper van instead of the small dumper stevie mate
You’ve already made up your mind so go with your gut feeling 👍
Own tools and Quality his speed will hopefully pickup just like a driving test you learn after passing . James's looking great needs loads more soil possibly a way to make space in the yard lol
Another belter cheers 👍👏
Maybe first one. But have them on 3 month trial. Or have you got someone already on your firm who you think can take the joinery on.Not easy🤞
Top job boys I love House 🏠 like that we can all dream
The slow guy will probably speed up as he's more comfortable and knows what you want
Quality over quantity everyday of the week
Would you be able to employ both? That way one will be free to do bespoke gates while the other can do your standard gates?
Precision guy and some one from the team together for 3 months trial, no brainer.
should train up reece for the wood side and start someone to do his job
I'd opt for the guy that brought his tools BUT I'd have one of the guys that wants to learn. And I'd train both of them how you like it done, then you have a backup.
The precise guy will speed up as he gets used to the job...go for him!
Been managing people for nearly 30 years, go with the person with the best attitude, they can be taught anything else
1st guy for sure!
experience dave all the way as ran my own business and for me time, quality and experience won for me speed comes after for me
